Some mornings

It being Saturday, the husband and I sleep in late until 9 a.m. I know it's not that late but when you get up at 7 a.m. it's nice to sleep in. This morning the phone rings which is unusual because we don't get phone calls that arly in the morning. I answer it still groggy, just having woken up. Here's the conversation that followed:

Me: "Hello?"
OP: " Hello? Good morning. I'm calling from the San Francisco Casino in Las Vegas.Have you hear of the San Francisco Casiono?"
Me: "No." Although I had. The last time we were there was over 3 years ago and it's a small casino in Old Town Vegas, but I pretendede not to know
OP:"Well I'm calling to let you know that today is your lucky day. Your name was drawn and you have won $2.5 million and a pearly Mercedes."
Me: "I'm sorry what? I just woke up."
OP: "Well go wash your face and wake up! You just won $2.5 million!"
Me: " Okay." Click and i hung up on his ass.

The husband wakes up and asks what ging on. I tell him the details and a few things I picked up on. 1) He was calling from Jamaica. 2) He didn't address me by my name. If I had been in a drawing wouldn't he have had that info? 3) It was a really noisy call. Usually when you get a call from a telemarketer , it's a quiet background. Not the case here, it was really noisy and he was very loud.
The one person calls back and gives him the same spiel. So Jesse asks him
" If you drew her name, what's her name? " OP proceeds to gives Jesse his name. " No, what's HER name?" Silence and CLICK. The OP hung up! Yeah it was a scam. We called the phone company but they couldn't do anything. Jesse put it up on a few websites to warn people. That's all we can do.

To end this post with a happy tone, here's some photos of Ridley using Instagram.

Our cat loves to suck blanket. Since we have him, he sucks blanket to fall asleep. It's very cute.

  1. The nerve of people making calls like that! but your kitty is so cute - absolutely adorable! I had a cat who sucked his blanket like that as well, but he was separated from his mother early so that was his way of coping.

    1. Thank you. Someone had dumped him at my sister's work. I think you're right,he may have been taken away from his momma. He's a big happy boy now.
