Listening to the endless rain ...

Preparing to go to a trade fair.

It's mostly to visit one of our suppliers who's got a stand, but we'll have a look around, too. The trade fair is focused on interior design (furninture, decorative things, lighting, etc), so I don't expect a lot of things that are interesting for us for the store. But it's good to get a feel what's trendy at the moment. I'm just hoping my father won't insist on visiting all the stands, even the ones that are of no interest to us (the reason why I rarely go to trade fairs with him).

Meanwhile I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get a phone call from the animal shelter today.

I hope you do.

Posting using my new-used KitKat tablet. KitKat is a somewhat old operating system, but I think it's one of the best.

Despite this morning's incredible monsoon storms, we're still doing OK. Sammie Cat woke me up at 4:30 am when the lighting & thunder started.

Sorry about the wake up, but good to hear that you are okay.

Willow waking me up at 4:30 is the only reason I got my car moved out of the path of the flood. I measured 6 feet of water where my car would have been.

Wowwww. Good girl (boy) willow! Cat or dog, just for curiosity? Or partner (in which case, excuse me ....)

First, important stuff: @Stranger, @Pooh, glad to hear that you and the resident furballs are all okay.

Second, laughing my ass off at the most incompetent Spam I think I've ever seen:

Quote:

Hey.

Hopefully you actually do not mind my language sentence structure, because i am from Saudi arabia. I infected your gadget with a virus and im in possession of all your personal data out of your operating-system.

It was mounted on a mature web page and after that you\'ve chosen the online video and it, my software instantly gain access to your computer.

And then, your cam captured you flying solo, in addition i documented a vid that you have seen.

Just after some time it also pulled out all of your device contact info. In case u would like me to wipe off your everything i have got - send me 300 us in btc it is a crypto. It\'s my btc wallet transfer address : [bitcoin wallet addy extracted]

At this moment you will have 21hrs. to make up your mind The minute i will receive the transfer i\'m going wipe out this footage and every thing entirely. Or else, you should remember that the evidence will be submitted to all your friends.

Oh, no!!! My GADGET has an STD!

Absolutely hilarious. Who the hell would click on that? I honestly can't even figure out what on earth s/he thought s/he was doing!

Are you kidding? I thought he should pay me for reading it! It's a riot, though. I wish that there was a "BestScammyEmailsI'veReceived.com" website, I'd nominate him for Best Plotline Involving a Gadget.

Yeah, I got the same spam. I thought it rather amusing that they "had a video of me" considering I have a post it note over the camera.

I frequently have sympathy for some folks who get scammed; some of the scams today are fairly sophisticated, and I have a real hatred for romance scammers, who have hurt so many folks, but this? If someone clicks on this, seriously, they deserve to be scammed. A picture of my STD-infected Gadget, indeed! I'll show you an infected Gadget, bygod...
