    HUGE RANT...

    To say I am as mad as an old wet hen is an understatement.  I am mad period.  I also want to give the facebook users a warning.  I rarely go on facebook.  I try to go on daily just to check on family and friends for a few minutes.  Last night on facebook I encountered a virus that would not let me comment and kept asking for my phone number.  I deleted my account and this morning I ran a full system scan on my computer.  Thank God it is OK.  I will never go back on facebook,  It is bad enough having to be cautious of picking up a virus on  my computer without having to deal with it on facebook.  And that is my Wednesday rant and a pretty darn good one too I think.

    I just got a call from my next door neighbor.  The first people that looked at their house want to buy it if the appraisal goes through OK.  That is my second rant. Sad  Nothing I can do about it except expect the new owners to be good neighbors.
     
    It is dreary outside and we have a 70% chance of rain today so I will plan accordingly.  First stops being the post office and then workout.  I have set tomorrow aside as a cleaning day.  Now we shall all see if that comes to pass.  Wink
