The weekend ends...

Darn it.

Yes, I said it. Darn it all to heck anyway...

(Can you tell that the weekend has been anything but exciting?)

I did get a hair cut, long overdue. Trish does such a great job! I have this kinkycurlywavyfrizzy hair and she just does miracles with it. And, she has taught me how to do it too :)

On the way to the salon I did encounter a woman driving her car while on a cell phone....on the wrong side of the road. Now wouldn't you think having THREE lanes of traffic coming AT you that you would realize you were on the wrong side - kinda sorta going the wrong way?? ohhellno, she just kept on driving - and talking. What was really funny was the looks she gave me and the other drivers who stopped so she wouldn't hit us or others head on...

Today I went to see Mom. I love that woman. On the way back I stopped to pick up a few items at WalMart. One being a nose hair trimmer for the roomie. He can't use those little scissors I guess. Now, I'm probably wrong, but wouldn't it hurt if that little spinning thing gets caught and tangled on your nose hair? ohwell....he paid for it :)

Tonight while surfing blogs I found some interesting sites...good artists, bad artists - politics, religion, sex stories (ohmy), photographs and ponzi schemes.

Uh...wait...back up there...

Ponzi schemes?

Yep, you know - pyramid schemes. Make a ton of money by recruiting others - no product - fake work at home stuff. I actually found a blog telling how you can make thousands sitting at home blahblahblah...

The FTC describes it this way: "Ponzi" SchemesPonzi schemes are a type of illegal pyramid scheme named for Charles Ponzi, who duped thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme back in the 1920s. Ponzi thought he could take advantage of differences between U.S. and foreign currencies used to buy and sell international mail coupons. Ponzi told investors that he could provide a 40% return in just 90 days compared with 5% for bank savings accounts. Ponzi was deluged with funds from investors, taking in $1 million during one three-hour period—and this was 1921! Though a few early investors were paid off to make the scheme look legitimate, an investigation found that Ponzi had only purchased about $30 worth of the international mail coupons.
Decades later, the Ponzi scheme continues to work on the "rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul" principle, as money from new investors is used to pay off earlier investors until the whole scheme collapses.


Even on weekends I bring my work home....arrrgh...someday I will just stop worrying about people that get involved in such stupid schemes.

And hell will freeze over too.

Ohwell, tomorrow is Monday. And I can check this work at home (cough cough) program out at the office....and send a nice email to the AG and FTC. It's my job, and I do it well :)
