It is all the florist's fault that Mr. Slug (not his real name LOL) has to pay money during a divorce proceeding. It just plain old isn't FAIR that they sent the receipt for Mr. Slug's dozen long-stemmed roses and a smoochie love letter off to the same house the fellow's WIFE is living in, instead of his @*#! ... I mean... affair partner. They should have to PAY because this revelation is gonna cost him money in court! They should be delivering flowers and not letting anyone know what's going on, ever.

Um, I don't see where sending a receipt to the fellow's house is a problem. Now, mind you, if their computer system were hacked and his credit card info stolen, he'd probably get ZERO dollars in court. But something like this, I don't know. You would *think* the guy would be ashamed of his dalliance and move on, but some people have no sense of shame. By the way, he would have my sympathy if his credit card were stolen by hackers... just not in this instance unless his poor wife had her name on the account LOL!!

And an EZ Pass system tracks your every move on the highway. You know this going into it. Sure it saves you a lot of time at the toll booth. Sure it saves you finding exact change and the potential hassle of lost tickets. I would *think* Big Brother tracking your moves would be a way more frightening thing to most people rather than the prospect of having a secret love affair uncovered. I don't see where you should be able to protect information like where your car went from your spouse... it makes no sense. But I am concerned about the implications of people being able to track your whereabouts at all times and tell other people about it.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
