When people are this stupid, you must laugh...

It's a moral imperative. And to her credit, eventually, she saw the humor.
Raoul Martinez, ZomorodiÃ¢ÂÂs co-anchor on the Fox-affiliateÃ¢ÂÂs morning show, shared an intriguing news item on Friday: a new app that allows you to taste and smell food or beverages right on your smartphone or iPad. Smirking, Martinez asked Zomorodi to try it out with him.

After Zomorodi skeptically sniffed and even licked an iPad, it was revealed that the Ã¢ÂÂVirtual SipÃ¢ÂÂ app was, yes, an April FoolÃ¢ÂÂs prank (video above).

Ã¢ÂÂMy peeps got me good,Ã¢ÂÂ Zomorodi wrote on her Facebook page following the prank. Ã¢ÂÂCanÃ¢ÂÂt believe I fell for it!!!Ã¢ÂÂ

Here is a link that might be useful: Ever eat a pine tree? Ever lick an Ipad?

Oh, now builders - there's another story. We built our house we're in now. The builder only put shrubs in front of the house. We planted our own trees. Then someone moved in a couple doors down who works for the city. City ordinance says the builder must provide a tree in each front yard, so they came back with the sickest bunch of trees and plunked them down in the front of each house. They didn't add one to our yard since we already had trees planted. At least four of those trees had borers in them when they were planted and were since replaced. I remember looking at these trees thinking they were the worst looking trees I've seen - not in good shape at all. Some of them have filled out and have become nice looking trees. Builders really don't get the landscaping part at all. They just plunk a bunch of shrubs in across the front and call it "beautifully landscaped." I don't think they put in more than $200. There is a neighborhood here in Allen that has some nice looking Knockout roses. They look great. I just hope they don't treat them like annuals and rip them out in the fall!

when I was first married to my husband I did not get along with my MIL she couldn't ever remember my name Mary how hard is that I wondered. she always wanted me to invite her to our home, I said its ok to just drop in, I didn't care I wanted her to feel welcome. Then my hubby had to be her care taker many years later and she seemed more friendly towards me. I wondered if she thought we would put her in an institution. No we didn't she was in a senior facility where we visited her every day. we went to every event they had with her and our son and his family did too. Our grand children knew their great grandmother. But I knew she thought she was stupid. Though she was not. We never said that word to her even though we had to repeat things over and over and over to her. I made sure that she had cards to send to her family on their birthdays or other events. I addressed her holiday cards when she said she could not,I made sure that we included photos of her so that they could see. Our daughter in law styled her hair every week. On occasion she would get a package or a card or letter. No one else in her family wanted to help her. Or come to see her. They always wanted to know what we were doing for her and making sure that WE were not stealing any of her money which wasn't much but went to her care. She had Alzheimers which is a horrible disease, as my mom had it too and you hate to see a loved one suffer through all the changes in their minds. My mom was a much different person than she had been. Mean comes to my mind. But still she was loved. We would laugh with her and sing oh how they loved to sing some of the old ballads. I learned so much from both of our mothers during this time. And my husband who is now my care giver. Strong women and husband. Keep venting if you have too we are all here to listen and help. Mary.

My hospital bean counters must be stupid....

I posted a couple of times about the scam a large hospital here tried on first DH when he went in for a femoral bypass. When he was admitted, we specifically asked if the hospital accepted our insurance. The response was "yes". Shortly after his surgery and discharge, he got a bill for several thousand dollars for services during surgery. I called the hospital, and they told me that the hospital and surgical bills were paid by our insurance, but anesthesia services was a separate company that did not accept that insurance (Aetna). We refused to pay the bill, saying that we were told that insurance covered it. Well, he was scheduled for a second surgery on the other leg, and when we went in, I asked the anesthesiologist if he was in private practice or worked for the hospital - his answer was that he worked for the hospital. I just happened to meet a person who worked on Medicare Fraud. He mentioned a scam that many hospitals work, by creating a holding company that separated many services into separate corporations - the hospital in general, anesthesiology, radiology, etc. That way, they would have the hospital corp. sign on to accept Medicare and other large insurance companies, but the other corporations would not sign on to insurance companies - thus allowing them to bill patients for services they assumed were covered by the hospital. I called the hospital Administrator's office, and left a message spelling out this information to his secretary. Also said we were not paying fraudulent bills, and I would call Aetna, and the local TV stations if they sent another bill. I then called Aetna and reported them. My husband was at work.....a couple of hours, he received a call from the hospital, saying that they were "forgiving" the bills.

A true story from the police blotter.

A fella had been drinking and drove to Wal Mart to load up on more munchies for TV watching. As he exited the store, he could not find his car and concluded it had been stolen. He flips open his cell phone and reports his car as stolen. Just as the police are pulling into the aprking lot, he remembers: I drove my OTHER car, and there it is! He starts to explain to the police his error and heads toward his car to make a hasty exit. But, not so fast. The cop got a whiff of his breath and noticed his unstable condition. A quick sobriety test was made and of course, our subject failed it miserable. Now, the police has reason enough to demand a search of his car. They find a bong pipe and drugs. The jig is up! The police reason that he drove drunk to the store and issued a DUI ticket, and now they are hauling him off to jail on a drug charge.

What a bad day. This driver turned himself in. It was he who made the phone call in the first place. There must have been some giggling when this report was written up.

I saw a clip of that joke, and yes she was a good sport but I couldn't believe she fell for it. I surely hope we don't get smell-a-tech. The good or bad of an aroma is the nose of the beholder. There are some I like, and some that makes me queezy. Now taste-a-tech, you have a choice of whether you stick your tongue on something or not. Then there is the Q of who else has had their tongue there? Decisions, decisions!

Didn't movie theaters once experiment with Smell-O-Vision -- or is that my faulty memory? (What an awful idea.)

So weird to see 3-D making a comeback all over the place.

Your memory's not faulty. I recall when they experimented with the smells during the movie. I don't recall the name of the movie but I'm glad it didn't catch on, although they're starting to push a home version to augment home video watching. They won't get a buck outta me, that's fersure.

Now the Wake'n Bacon, (rise & swine everyone) there's a smell to wake you up.
