  • I have something constructive to say, but I can't remember what it was!


    Fun With Telemarketers


    I had my second session using my "I hate vacations" spiel.  The telemarketer told me that I had won a vacation and asked me how I liked vacations.  I proceeded to tell him that I hate vacations and don't go on them.  It only took him about 30 seconds to figure out where this conversation was going and he told me to have a nice day.  Hey, there are intelligent people in the telemarketing world! 


    My daughter-in-law is now trying out telemarketing.  It pays fairly well, and pays even better in commissions if you make sales.  So, that got me to thinking about my next "fun with telemarketers" conversation.  When they call, I'm going to act like I know them, even though I think they are trying to hide their identity.  You know, one of those, "Is this Buddy?  I know it is!  You can't pretend with me, Buddy!  You're so funny; now you're a telemarketer."  I'll have to think of more when the next call happens.


    Toothaches and Migraines


    Even though I'd say that a migraine is worse, a toothache sure ranks up there with the best of 'em!  I think that the antibiotic is starting to lessen the pressure of the infection.  There has been some ease in the jaw pain.  That's lower jaw, because the TMJ is really acting up now.  I got the TMJ when I introduced my face to the steering wheel.  It was just a short introduction, but made a lasting impression on both of us (pun intended).


    Yeah, I've been trying to hold out on using the pain meds.  But, I'm losing that battle; just look at the time of this post.  Well, that may not be a good indicator since I seem to be up more after dark than a lot of people.  So, if I go in there and take some pain medicine, I might not want to get up in the morning and go to church.  Then again, if I don't take it, I'm probably going to be awake until time to go to church.  Decisions! Decisions!
