Is this just me? I normally get junk mail. It's one of those unstoppable phenomenons that exists.
Ever since I got my humble abode, I get even more junk mail. I constantly get letters of obvious scams of insurance when I already got insurance for my home. Scams on how to lower my mortgage. Right, any issue I will go to a financial person at the IFHA. Okay?
Come to think about it, it's probably why people throw important information away. Wouldn't you agree?
Then mysteriously out of the blue, I have a pretend baby. I don't know where this baby came from. The moment I was handed the keys, the baby magazine people heard my 30 year old feet coming in through the door. Thank you Huggie's for your wonderful money saving coupons for diapers that I am not going to be buying. Thank you Baby's R Us for letting me know the nice promotions that may come in handy for any up coming baby showers. Thanks so much for the information for that fund that Jane Seymore talks about in the commercials, thank you Gerber. Thank you for all those free baby magazines so if I ever do become pregnant I can get some random advice.

Sweetwater Tropic Zone
I drug my guy downtown Boise. I wanted to do some window shopping during the day when everyone was open. We went to my favorite store called Lux. They buy, trade, and sell used clothing.
We went all over Macy's. I showed him a wide array of perfume that I liked. I ran across a yummy Guess that is in a brown bottle. There is also Versace which is fantastic as well. I wanted to find a suit for work but I think I may end up at JC Penny.
Paul and I were getting thirsty. As we wandered towards the Record Exchange I see a hip little place. We wander over and found Sweetwater Tropic Zone. Many strange spicy dishes that I had never heard of before. I knew the beer.
We had ourselves some Laughing Dog and looked over the odd menu. There were Gator Tots which has alligator meat. There was also one dish that was made out of goat. There were Conch fritters. I was like what is that? She said it was this critter that lived inside this huge shell. I ordered that.
The smell of the appetizer was very appealing. I think it would have been better if it weren't so spicy. There was more ingredients than the fish. Next time I think I will try the snack that is closely related to the banana. I can't remember what that is called.
I think it would be a great hang out spot. You can sit and have a beer and groove to the music of the island.
Evil Hallmark
There are a hundred and one million reasons I need to stay out of Hallmark. I bought a couple of snow globe ornaments with my name and Paul's name on them. I had this bracelet that mom got me from them. Nobody was buying them so they quit making additions for the bracelet.
The magnet in it broke a while back. Since then there had been many promises to fix it. We went to one that still had some charms. Paul dug through the chains for it and I got me a better bracelet. No more magnet, it has a real latch. I am wearing the bracelet again with a couple of new charms. I also looked at some cute things that I wanted. I saw a cool incense jar. There were some cool animal things. I also found a Batman ornament. He would go nicely with the Catwoman ornament.
I took some pics of some other stuff I found adorable. I need to stay out of there before I spend my life savings.

Memory is the first to go...
So, at the beginning of the month, I was in the ER. I guessed it was salmonella because of Dino. I presumed correctly.
I had since been more careful and his tank gets cleaned outside. I have been too leery to touch my pet. Not very many people know that they carry salmonella. You can get it from reptiles, chicken, and oscars. Also you can get it from unpasteurized dairy products.
About a week after the incident, I get a call from southwest health department. She asked me questions to make sure if it was the turtle or something that I ate. I let her know about the turtle.
Today, I get a call from her again. I am feeling a little irritated because she was still calling. I didn't understand why. My thinking was put to good use again. Maybe I should become a doctor...nah it's not me. I now believe that I can be pretty bright. I can put two and two together, damnit.
I asked her if it was on record that I had a pet. She said yes. But, it was not a strain from a reptile. It was from food. She proceeded to ask me if I could find any receipts or if I could remember where I have been before I got sick. I got to thinking, she is pretty persistent about the receipts and trying to remember what happened. You do realize that I am well trained on targeted and focused questions to cut to the chase. The tone of her voice told me plenty as well and I felt kind of bad.
So, I asked her, "Are there more people with salmonella?" It would be a little strange since I was told by the doctor salmonella is quite rare. Apparently not. She told me that there is pretty much a salmonella outbreak. I told her about my transition and finding information and remembering everything is going to be very difficult.
So, probably for the next couple days I am going to be doing some research. My receipts are a dime a dozen and are in random places. I freaked out and got lazy between jobs. Everything is still being picked up right now.
We were thinking maybe the chicken from Walmart, but we got the chicken days after. Tried to think of all the different places that we went to the day before work. I even thought about another location days before that.
I do feel a little more relieved that it was something that wasn't really my fault. I do know now that I really do not want to eat out anymore due to careless people. A company could have killed me. A company almost mutilated my life beyond recognition. It is hard to find a follow up that is open after 7pm and open on Saturday. I could have lost my job if I had taken some time off to see a doctor. Call centers do not take doctors notices. I would have not been able to afford the ER visit.
I am taking it like a champion. I am a tough person and I can take on a really great fight. When I find out who did it, I am going to sue them. I will not hesitate. There were so many things at stake and people need to be taught a lesson on how to be more careful. I am sick of irresponsible people out there who have a job and get to keep it while those who put up with their crap have to fall.

Can I get a little common sense?
I keep getting the winners in my house. Zack has been here for a couple of months. My guy won't stop griping about him.
Apparently, he pees in the backyard. I know he isn't the only one doing it. He does not clean up after his dog, his guests, or his guest's dog. He has an air conditioner that runs all day. When I go outside in the morning, there is a pile of cigarette butts on the table and several beer cans. This is every morning.
I have the second room mate. I knew he was going to be a bit inconsiderate. He was asking if the groceries are shared and that he likes the milk. Instantly, my foot is down on the food. Buy your own food. I know he was already in my lunch food because I saw a wrapper from my food in the garbage can in the bathroom. He was already using Paul's bathroom soap. Um, hello, training for a new job and paying for a house, I cannot afford to pay for yet another mouth to feed. He also thought he would use the detergent without asking first. He asked after he used it.
Does it even hurt anyone to ask to use something first? What the hell is up with people. In my whole life of renting from people, I never had this problem. Except for the guy burning in hell who used my phone without asking. Oh yes, someone else giving my things away along with that prick. The last place I lived at, people did the same thing.
I never would do a thing like that. If I am uncertain about something, I ask first. I don't just go digging into someone else's food. I don't give things away tat don't belong to me. Unless they are left behind and forgotten about. Use a little common sense.

Good Movie Alert
Movies that I anticipate are few and far between. All the ones I want to watch right now are at the expensive movie house. I have noticed the past few times I have been to the movies, it has actually been really busy. For the past few years it has been only me and the cashier.
Recently, I have become a Ryan Reynolds fan. It's quite odd. Scarlett Johansson is one of my favorites. I have quite a few movies that she is in. She has recently become my hugest enemy. Ryan and Scarlett are married. I hate you both! Just kidding. .oO(you make me sick!)
Anyways, I watched this preview for a movie called The Proposal. It's one of these movies where you know everyone is going to get into the deepest doo doo. Boss about to be deported back to Canada and she turns around and says that she is going to marry someone who hates her guts with a passion. For a minute there, I thought he was going to go to HR and report her butt. The way a movie goes, the character that can easily get out goes along for the ride.
The movie is quite good. It's very funny. There are some really great lines. There is also a really cute dog. I love this movie and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. If you have not seen the movie, you have to!
