It's A Scam!

This morning my mom got a call from a scammer saying that the government was going to give us $7,000 dollars. My mom believed them at first but, when they started asking her where our nearest Western Union was which I think is another bank. My mom started thinking that it might me a scam so, she asked the person on the phone if it was a scam and they immediately hung up. It was obviously a scam because why did they want to know where our nearest Western Union was and why didn't they ask us to use our bank. It doesn't make anysense. If it was really from the gornment they would've probably sent us a letter or atleast would've known what bank we use. I'm glad that my mom figured out it was a scam. I just wanted warn yall of this scam.

    Thanks for the warning! I know I get a lot of emails that I won this lottery or that lottery, I just need to contact them (and probably give my bank account info, which I wouldn't). I usually delete those without even opening them. Glad your mom was so wise to realize it was a scam!

Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
