Yes, that was deliberate. But I’m sure the errors I constantly find in game ads that continue to parade across my screen are not deliberate. Yet they do amuse me. For example: The voiceover says, “Delete that rubbish,” so we know that the caption happened through human error. However, this one seems to not beContinue reading “A Panoply of Typlos”

And Just Then…
When I thought I might have a day off from the wrong number scammers, here comes this one. I was impressed that the opening gambit differed from previous ones; usually they tell me I’m some Asian woman and that they’re a friend of mine. Here “she “uses my name, but flips the script and saysContinue reading “And Just Then…”
Short-Circuit the Scam
Last week I had a half dozen of those wrong number scam messages. Frequent readers of my blog know that I usually like to play along with them. But lately I’ve decided to play against them and see what happens. This is an example of attempting to short-circuit their script. I did expect some sortContinue reading “Short-Circuit the Scam”
Stuff (and Nonsense)
I recently brought some boxes from my storage unit and went through them to eliminate unnecessary stuff. If I could give away a half of a box of hanging folders, I’d have emptied 2 boxes instead of just one. (I have them offered on the Trash Nothing site but so far no nibbles.) As IContinue reading “Stuff (and Nonsense)”
Subtract the Ads?
I play a couple of games in which I get extra points or a few pennies to watch ads. I mostly ignore them, but every now and then a typo will catch my eye. Here are three I found in recent days.  I assume this is just a typo, and they meant “my” andContinue reading “Subtract the Ads?”
Ah, Freedom! (Non-Political)
A story I mention in my memoir, Immaculate Misconceptions: Tales of Catholic School: in the sixth grade I had a nun named Sister Ada. She was quite old, and at times, when perched on her stool behind the lectern, she would stop talking, pause, and then belch audibly. After another pause, she’d say, “I’m sorry,Continue reading “Ah, Freedom! (Non-Political)”
That Escalated Fast!
I’ve gotten a few of those wrong number scam texts lately but they haven’t been too crazy. One stopped fairly quickly, failing to improv-joust with me. For that one, I decided to be direct and provocative. For the next one, though, I decided to try something new with my name. Luckily I didn’t need toContinue reading “That Escalated Fast!”
Am I On Tinder??
A few years ago I googled myself and discovered I had a Wikipedia page that I had not created. But I’m pretty sure I’m not on Tinder, as this scammer suggests. Now, I do have to give “her” credit for not being a jewelry/fashion designer and dabbler in investments and cryptocurrency like so many ofContinue reading “Am I On Tinder??”
Did You Grow Fonder?
I haven’t posted a blog entry lately. Life has been busy with getting my fiancee ready for surgery (or I should say, helping her get the garden and house ready for her surgery), and I took on another project—more about that in a minute. Also, I tried so hard to keep my posting streak going,Continue reading “Did You Grow Fonder?”
Ambidextrous Graphics!
Nearing the conclusion of the Kid Again audio series, Rust—who is turning the audio files into videos for YouTube—suggested a new graphic for the remaining episodes. So I consulted my usual AI graphic generator. My prompt: “A 14 year old boy sitting at a desk and writing in a journal with the ghost of anContinue reading “Ambidextrous Graphics!”
