Game: I see your imagination!

Our family has been quite sick all week. Nathan had an earache bad enough that he was crying for 3 hours Wed, and Julia has a cough that shakes the house. Andee has also been quite sick (Bad enough that the doctor said "Ooh, Wow!" when he looked in her ears. I have been sick too, but not nearly as bad as the rest of the crew. Much of my illness may be compounded by sleep deprivation.

Anyway, Julia came to me the other day and asked me to look in her ears. Of course I found some interesting things in there... "I see a Lady Bug" I said. "Daddy, are you sure?" she would respond.

"No actually I think it might be a Spider" "Are you sure?" and so on...

After a few exchanges like this, I said I see a bunch of horses... Wait, That is not your ear. I am looking all of the way into your imagination!

Of course Nathan wanted me to look into his imagination too. Then Julia looked into mine.. She saw airplanes of course.

"Daddy, can I look?" Nathan asked. I turned my head to let him take a look. "Tttttttttthhhhhh" He blew a rasberry right into my ear. Ornery brat!

I guess that is the end of that game.

Maybe I could be a journalist?

Okay, with my spelling skills, I am not sure that is a good idea... But I don't think I would do this:

Front page headline: "Men threatened with gun while working on one of them's car"

That blog is actually kinda entertaining. They just publish corrections in newspapers every day.

Don't Email us!

  I have a bill that I am going to be a bit late on.   It is kinda difficult to track people down when you work a strange shift.  Usually, I can call and leave a message, but then I risk them calling me back and waking me up. 

 Today I was in such a situation, so I emailed my power company. This is how the exchange went: 

Hi Josh,

Yes, you may bring your payment on Monday, May 15th

In the future, please call our Customer Service Department at 9xx-xxxx to make payment arrangements or place a note in our night drop box (if telephoning during the day is difficult).

Regards,

I am going to have difficulty making my payment until 5/15/06.   If I bring the full payment on Monday will that be okay?
  Let me know.
   Thanks,
   Josh Reighley
 
Isn't this strange?  If you don't want people to email you, then why would you publish your email address?  I thought about writing them back.  I will let them know that I will drop the note in their night box next time, but I expect them to reply by slipping their reply inside my screen door.
As an electric company wouldn't they rather i used their electrons then Exxon's fuel to communicate with them?
I am amused.
