3rd Post

Well this is the 3rd post and no one is reading. Which is just fine with me, as I have told no one that this is here. I guess that the anonymity will promote free flow of thought and brutal honesty....

Today I am annoyed. I believe I may hate all of those Nigerian bankers who want to share untold riches with me, but never seem to get that money too me. I also am anoyed with my oldest daughter.

Today I was a victim of a scam. Someone with an ip address in Nigeria hacked into my email account and then proceeded to send an email to everyone in my contact list a bullshit email that I was MUGGED while in London and all my money, credit cards and cell phones were taken, but I was physically fine as I cooperated, but the greedy and nasty hotelier would not let me leave until my bill was paid.

Now I do not know if I should be pissed that so many of my email contacts were so gullible that they either called my office, or cellphone or emailed me or my wife to see what they could do, or should I be grateful that so many people in my list reached out to offer help. Former clients that I have not heard from in years, where we dissolved our relationship on not the friendliest of terms asked if they could help.

I choose the later.

Through this experience it really was heart-warming to see all of the offers of help that came from so many different people. I really had to take a step back and appreciate all that was offered.

Now on to my daughter.

My wife and I spend a great deal of money to provide as many experiences for our children that we possibly can. We send them on trips and conventions so that they can truly appreciate their religion and learn from other kids their age from other parts of the Country.

Well today both girls left for a one week retreat in the mountains and guess what....my oldest called when she got there that she was not happy that she wasn't rooming with her friends./ This annoyed my wife to no end, so I called. I found out that she was with some of her friends, but not with others. I told her to grow up and stop thinking that everyone isout to get her. Why do kids have to do this. You try to give them the best of experiences and they call you as if they are helpless. She is away and there isn't anything that I can do! Also, why blow this out of proportion.

The next time we send them away, I am keeping the cell phones at home so they can't call so easily.
