Strange Things Are Happening...

Does anyone besides me remember the old Red Buttons Show? “Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, hoo hoo…”
I was listening to the radio yesterday morning as usual, when I heard “Firefly.” That’s an old Tony Bennett hit, but this recording is a duet with Tony and Kermit the Frog. Never fails to elicit a smile. And then Ray said, “That’s for you, l-empress, God bless you”!
Now, he could have meant some other l-empress, although I have told him how much I like it. Or it could have been in response to my mentioning him in an earlier post, but I didn’t tell him I was doing it. So he must have Googled or something, and that’s why I’m not quite identifying him here. No reason to have frivolous hits.
We (Husband) lost a savings account. To be precise, it was a credit union account from one of his old jobs and, of course, we weren’t putting anything into it because he doesn’t work there any more. But we have faithfully reported its income on our taxes, and they didn’t send a 1099 this year. Our accountant suggested that I call them, and son of a gun, there’s no such account! After much hemming and hawing, the clerk said she’d ask her boss, who took two days to get back to me. It seems that they figured it was a dormant account, so they transferred it to the State’s Unclaimed Property Office. Did they notify us first? No; the last communication I had from them was last year’s 1099. I would have closed the account myself, except that Husband felt it was a good thing to leave it there because it was “safe.” Doesn’t leave me much faith in credit unions.
Husband’s keeping tabs on me – sort of.
- He freaked out the morning that I didn’t get up early. (I’d been awake in the middle of the night and didn’t have to work that day, so I decided to sleep in.) He woke up U.D., saying “Mommy isn’t up, what shall I do?”
- I went out early the other day to drive M.D. to work. U.D. couldn’t calm him down. “I’ll give you your pills,” she told him. “Where is she? Did she go to work?” No. “Well, if she didn’t go to work, where is she?” He couldn’t figure it out.
- He asked if I’m going to M.D.’s house tonight. “No, I might go over this morning for a computer lesson, but I’m going out tonight.” “What?!” M.D., Son-in-Law and I are going out for dinner tonight. “Did you think I had a date?” I asked him. “Well, uh…”
Just when I thought he didn’t care any more. Well, of course, good servants are hard to find.
And I thought the strangest thing I had seen all week was the cat food shelf at Sam’s, still marked cat food but stocked with dog food. Mind reading costs extra.
