Nutrisystems Sucks

I needed to lose weight. Those infomercials sucked me in. I went on line to sign up, after all -- look at all the celebrities who had success. Well they must have been receiving different food then I did. When I was going back and forth with the live chat on line -- I should have known something was amiss, not kosher, just wrong. On line I think the person I was chatting with had never eaten nutrisystems -- and probably never will. The language & their sentence structure was not normal. I am pretty sure they were located in India.

Anyway they assured me --
IF I PURCHASE NOW AND AM NOT SATISFIED I CAN CANCEL AND NOT GET CHARGED ANY ADDITIONAL FEE FOR EARLY CANCELLATION.

SUCKER!

They charged me an extra $50 on top of the agreed price for the food. Once they have your card number you are screwed. I still have this huge box of crap food in the pantry and every now and then when I don't want to make something and I feel guilty about the expense -- I open one of the packets and force myself to eat it. It does make it easier to swallow if you wash it down with 2 glasses of wine.

Professional Blogger

I was watching TV the other day and they were talking about a professional blogger named "Perez Hilton". How does one become a professional blogger? How many blogs do you need to write to be considered a professional? How do you get paid to be a professional blogger. I have written 3 blogs and have not received a penny. Do you need a degree in blogging? I have been looking for a part-time job and have never seen an ad for a blogger. And where did the word blogging come from? Someone had to make up the name -- who did it? I need answers.

Watching the Dog

Well my daughter and son in-law are in Hawaii visiting my son & daughter in-law and I'm home watching their dog Moose. I met my son in-laws mother over at my daughter and son in-laws house. She was petting Moose when she sees bright red spots on his belly. GREAT I thought --- this dog is either going to die while I am watching him or I am going to have a HUGE vet bill. I throw Moose in the car and drive to his Vet. I'm in the parking lot looking at the Vet sign and it has the phone number so I call from the parking lot so I would not get charged for an office visit. I told the receptionist what the rash looked like and she said to hold on. Five minutes goes by and no answer. So I call back and someone else answers and she said " hold on, I will get the person you were speaking with". Ok, so another 5 minutes goes by and I hang up again. Moose is not making a sound -- I get out and open the little crate he is in and he was sleeping. Well I don't know if it's from all the fresh air ( he was outside all day with me ) or he's sick. I called back again and they said not to worry -- they are just bug bites -- get him some cortisone cream and put it on them. Don't bring him in unless the start to ooze. Ooze? Please don't ooze. Well I go to CVS and buy the cream. I bring Moose in the house lay him on his back --- Where the hell did the red spots go? I need some wine.

Burnt Bagel

Well, I'm in Ko Olina and my son set up a blog for me. While he was setting it up I burnt my bagel. My husband kept asking me to cut the fresh pineapple for him. SHUT UP!!! Geez I'm on vacation too. My husband is not happy about this blog. He hates computers. He thinks they are a waste of time ( he doesn't know how to turn on a computer ) We are sitting around waiting for a convertible from Hertz. Enterprise first sounded like the best deal --- but then they had all these add ons!!!! Man I hate having to call around for prices on a car instead of sitting and enjoying the day. Ok I have to stop because my husband is still waiting for his pineapple.
