Don’t you just love abbreviations? They create a quasi secret code within your group or industry. My first bombardment of initialism was in the USAF. Within the blog gang I hang with, FF means Friday Fragments.

The other day I sensed I was just drifting in space. Where am I going? Should I choose a path, road, trail or track? Then I remembered a astrophysics lesson. We actually are drifting in space.
Way back (eons ago in internet time) one blog gang member often created a post based on comments she made. Unknown Mami called it, “I Comment Therefore I Am”. I love comments and can occasionally drop a good one off on a blog.
Last week’s FF post Tami who is “Not Just a Hockey Mom” posted that her husband surprised her with some shoes. I offered the following comment:
I have given my wife slippers as a gift and but only consider soft type shoes like flip-flops. One needs to protect oneself.
I had a birthday years ago. Alright like you I have them every year.
You know how often because of schedules you don’t celebrate your birthday on your birthday? I had a great idea (on my blog all my ideas are great) today. I’m going to suggest celebrating my 60th birthday when I’m 65. Oh, my birthday was a months ago and 60 is not here yet.
Remember the post title? Yeah FF posts bounce around a bit and before you know it you are drifting in space (oh I covered drifting at the beginning).
I hate telemarketers. If anyone out there loves telemarketers please let me know. I think your brain should be studied.
I got this message yesterday from Prize Direct (708-279-7721). Jack wants to talk to me about my entry for a $25000 contest and please call him back at 1-866-430-3177.
Oh right, sure I’m going to do that right away. I called the FCC (they run the Do Not Call list). The FCC representative asked many questions and then said it sounds like a scam and I should call the FTC because they could warn people and possibly prosecute. The FTC took my complaint and the phone numbers. They also ask many questions. Who knows if my report will lead to prosecuting a scammer but afterwards I felt better than when I just cuss into the phone. (I included the phone number in the chance that you receive the same call)
Just a hypothetical question -- If at some future date your husband were to angry you (very unlikely I know, guys are typically perfect) would you remember he was buyer of those shoes and therefore never throw them at him?
