Otherwise perfect books ruined by an out of nowhere x-rated scene

by

Everyone who knows me knows that I would rather stay home and read then do just about anything else,including dealing with people…sleeping when I should…eating when I should, I can go on but I won’t. I try to branch out to new authors and subscribe to a number of author newsletters, follow some authors on twitter, facebook, bookbub, goodreads, ect. There is a very good reason why I tend to stick to the same authors though, I call them my TOP TWO and those are Victoria Laurie and Kimberly Raye.

That reason is they write about sex without me feeling like I stumbled onto a porno in book form, these two are what I call perfect authors…Kimberly Raye uses a bit more detail then Victoria does, but it’s not overly x-rated…it doesn’t make me feel like I need to take a shower afterward.

You can write about sex without the details, I as a reader don’t want to know how big his dick is or how wet she is…really? let us use our imagination, that is the best part of reading a book is picturing it in my head…you are painting way to many details…

How NOT to deal with bad neighbors

by

It’s six in the morning and you have just been woken up yet again by a neighbor who has their TV so loud it is shaking the furniture in your apartment and you have just snapped since you have to deal with this shit every fucking day.

You can call management but management doesn’t give a fuck and won’t do shit, so what do you do?

You can do what I did and pound on the wall and yell at them to turn their TV down….maybe it will work or maybe they will just turn it up louder.

You can wish that the TV speakers will blow which is a possibility considering that they sound like shit.

You can get yourself some earplugs and deal with it.

 

 

 

Dear JOANNE PUNCH,

by

We get advertisements for Spectrum (Time Warner) all the time in the mail because that is the company the building uses for internet. Now SO and I have been talking about getting a connection of our own for months now and I called over the summer and it was one hundred dollars which at the time was not doable for us.

Last week I was tossing old mail in the trash and came across an advertisement I was saving for some reason. According to the advertisement it is now only twenty dollars so I called and checked to see if I would have to pay for anything up front. I don’t and I have an appointment this morning which is why I am up so fucking early.

Later that evening I was going through my email and came across the conformation email with my account information and date/time they were coming to install the box.

The email was addressed to; JOANNE PUNCH and I thought that is not my name.

I called to have the fix my name, I told the women I spoke with my name and although I have been told that I talk really fast…Jolene and Joanne don’t sound a like in my head. Although when someone asks my name and I tell them….they always repeat something completely different back to me..usually Joanne or jo’elle. 

The really funny part about this is when I called to have them fix my name, the guy who I spoke to asked if I ever had spectrum in the past and I told him I had but it was about eight years ago. He informed me that when I linked my social to the account the spelling of my name popped up with my old accounts.

How do you get someone’s name wrong when the correct name/spelling is staring you in the face?

The big BUT

by

Don’t you understand that if you make a statement and then add But, everything before that BUT cancels out and doesn’t matter. Even if you claim that you aren’t trying to be mean or rude, if you add the “BUT” you still come off rude as hell.

Examples;

You look nice but you should lose some weight

Really means

Bitch you’re fat and shouldn’t wear that shirt/pants/whatever

Instead of being fake  and then saying BUT….. just say what you want to say

 

So I am on this food group (survey things, I get paid for my opinions) and on someone’s  recipe  (that was one of the top six chosen) instead of saying oh this looks good…blah blah like everyone else or giving suggestions someone wrote.

 

They do look good but, ( and I’m not trying to be mean,) I prefer mine

Then proceed to give a recipe for theirs, bitch really?? the hate is real  and your comment on someone’s  who recipe was chosen over yours with your recipe is rude as hell. Even got the nerve to say you’re not trying to be mean and then proceeded to be mean.

 

 

 

I need a new bed

by

My back is killing me, I woke up with back pain this morning like I have done every morning since I have gotten this mattress and to tell you the truth I really miss my old mattress. This new one is very soft and so you would think that it is comfortable…it’s not. This bed is also smaller then our old one, we found this out when our blankets (which barely covered our old bed) covers this one perfectly.

As two big & tall people, this just doesn’t work. As a result when he gets up to get ready for work at seven in the morning, I get up as well even if I don’t have any reason to be up.

I am expecting two packages to arrive tomorrow, I ordered a package from snackpack with my stomach…I was craving sweets when I ordered it but I won a prepaid mastercard last week and used some of the money to get their 20 dollar box. I am going to try to do an unboxing but probably not via video, I will probably just take some pictures and do a blog entry.

Then I also ordered Amopé Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File from amazon which has been on my wishlist forever and I found out that along with the prepaid mastercard I also won a 25 dollar amazon gift card. Call me lucky, I win sweepstakes because I enter them.

Plans today are to binge watch a bunch of shows that have been on my laptop for months, get through my main email and maybe my personal one. SO is at work, he worked a double yesterday (over twelve hours) which means his paycheck will be lovely.

Tragedy in Las Vagas

by

I am going to assume that everyone already knows about the mass shooting in Las Vagas on Sunday night. I ended up getting off of twitter as someone from the UK wanted to argue with me about gun control and I didn’t feel like yesterday was the time or place for it. This person took what I said and sat there and argued with me. I was sick of talking about it that I stayed off the computer for the rest of the day.

I could have hit him back by him saying we need Gun Control in the US and tell him that they need Bomb Control over there. I don’t know what it’s about concerts, there have been a lot of mass killings (shootings, bombs) at concerts.

That being said, I am not going to blog about money making things today and pick back up on Wednesday or Thursday with another review.

Repeating what I said on twitter yesterday, My heart goes out to those who lost anyone in the mass shooting on Sunday night and instead of arguing with people on twitter maybe you could donate something. Time, Money, Hugs, Listening, Blood,  ect.

@MaayanGolubs offered free portraits to people who donate blood – If you are on twitter, check her page out.
