Meming It...

 

Ms. Lily Belle the 7-year-old former service dog aka German Shepherd arrived in our home yesterday, and has settled in nicely, except for the cat. That cat doesn't like the dog. Period. And Huey is just going to have to deal with it, period. Huey decided to be stupid and jump on the dog hissing and clawing. Yeah, we are not having it. He literally goes after the dog every time. Sigh, onwards to the week's memes...

Welcome to the first of Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 of April 2024.

1. What spring flowers/trees are your favorites?

This is Florida where Pine, Oak, Cypress, Dogwood, and Palms, Impatiens, Bird of Paradise, Beach Sunflowers, Wildflowers and such grow year around. I like all trees and flowers with the exception of Pine, as I am allergic too.

2. Do you ever bring home bouquets for your home? 

Sometimes

3. If you are married, what flowers were in your bouquet? I really don't remember...I know I had Hobby Lobby make the bouquets. 

4.Do you check the weather forecast for an upcoming month?

 Yep, pretty much sums it up. LOL-We are heading into storm season, so if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. LOL

1. What's a talent you wish you had?

When I grow up, I want to be like Animal from the Muppets and play the drums. LOL

 

2. In one word, what's your state of mind right now? 

3. What's the next major purchase you need to make? To finish the pavers and put up the side fence.

Will it happen this month? Prob. not. Have you seen the price of things? This year? Prob.

4. Tuesday (April 2nd) was National PB and J Day...did you celebrate? No. Is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich something you eat weekly or more? I don't eat it a lot, but I do like it. What's your favorite kind of jelly? Blackberry.

5. Are you easily intimidated? LOL NO. Who or what intimidates you? Not much. Actually, folks (especially at work) will prob. tell you I am sort of a bully. I don't put up with crap from no one and I will let you know about it too. For instance, security has been pushing my buttons lately over security issues in the morning and the nick picking that is done. But when security told me that my food item had to have a clear top on the container, I asked where in policy does it state? (it doesn't). Security was going to take my lunch and the contents of my clear bag (lipstick, sealed store-bought candy in its bag, my umbrella, keys, food containers, some desk decorations with a note from my superiors for permission); I simply shrugged and told them take it and place it in the Control Room and I would pick it up later. Oh, they gave me my bag back and its contents etc. I didn't have any contraband, and they knew it. They are always hassling us administration and that particular morning; I wasn't having it. It was pouring rain, making me stand in bare feet on a wet slippery floor, giving me one heck of an invasive pat down and you except me to just stand there? Not. Oh, I get I work in a prison but when you have others such as Medical or Security personnel walking in with McDonalds bags (big no no) or WAWA / 7-11 cups with something in it (big no no) then I take issue. Ok, so I decided to be a smart alec and bought in a clear top container the next day and you know what they did? OPENED MY CONTAINER AND SMELLED MY FOOD! I simply told them they better get someone down here fast. They did and I filed a complaint on the spot. Yeah, so now I am on the colonel's radar because we were exiting the other day at 5 pm and standing with one another and he goes, "Just so you know, your top containers have to be clear (he was being smart) and I said, "And where does in policy does it state, because it doesn't because code so and so (I stated the code) does not mention it." He looked at me and shook his head and said, "Ms. Conley, why do you have to push my buttons? Ah, so it did reach him (my incident). Interesting. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 I gotta get around and head to the store and hopefully will catch up later with the blogs.
