Weekend Update

Okay, so I'm a little late, but better late than never huh?

Last Thursday was Lori's birthday (All I'll say is she is over 21 and is over the age of consent.) and Friday was our Fifth Month Anniversary. (Can you believe we have been seeing each other for 5 months already?) Thursday through Monday morning we celebrated both special days.

Thursday Lori's children took her out for dinner and they invited me to come along.


Friday Lori came over to my place after she got off of work. I gave her, her presents. She asked me to wrap them in aluminum foil. (Don't ask!)



I got her a laptop. She has a VERY old Mac that keeps locking up on her when we chat online at night. It became such a pain in "my" ass that I decided to replace it for her.

Last weekend was the Annual Sayville Summerfest so we went up there Friday to check it out. Friday was just the carnival and a lot of food booths. We saw the food booth for a local restaurant that advertised a deal on a lobster dinner at the restaurant. Lori had never had lobster so we went over there to eat. For $12.95 they had a 1 pound lobster, corn on the cob and baked small red potatoes. They also gave us a basket of rolls and corn bread.

(Pardon the picture. I know it sucks, but it's all I have.)

When we got back home, we went right to bed because we were both so tired. Heck, we were so tired we didn't even snuggle. But Saturday morning we made up for it. :-)

Saturday afternoon we went up to town to check out the events. Town closed off Main Street to traffic and they had an Art Show of sorts. A lot of local artists showed their painting, drawings and photography and had it for sale if you wanted to buy it.


We were there about an hour when Lori got a call from one of her co-workers. We met them at a local pub in town. We stayed for a while and had a few drinks with them. We wanted to walk around the Summerfest, but they wanted to drink some more, so we left. We cruised the many craft booths and got something to eat too. We had sausage and peppers and grilled corn. Then back to my house for a swim. (Naughty Lori went skinny-dipping but don't tell her I told you.)

Sunday we got up and had breakfast by the pool.


After breakfast we went back up to the Summerfest. This was the day we really wanted to go because they had a car show with 350 classic cars! (Yes, 350!) Most of them were from the 50's and later. The highlight for Lori was seeing the car from the movie 'Christine'. (She even touched the door handle.) That movie is a favorite of hers. They also had go-cart races, which was very cool.



Here are some pictures I took of the cars.



Lori loved the lobster dinner we had Friday night so much, that she suggested we have it again that night for dinner. I really enjoyed the lobster myself so agreed. I decided to get a couple of fresh ones and cook dinner for her.

First we went up to the local farm stand and bought fresh tomatoes, red onion and corn on the cob and then I drove over to the fish market and bought two fresh live lobsters.



When we got home, I made the tomato salad so the flavors could blend until it was time to eat. I made it with fresh tomato, basil and onion with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We also cleaned the corn and soaked it in some water so I could grill it. Then we made a couple of drinks and went for a swim. Here's some shots of me showing Lori how not to dive.




Here's a picture of me grilling the corn.



The corn turned out good.



Dinner turned out GREAT!


Then we cleaned up. Well, Lori cleaned up. We have a deal, if I cook, she cleans up.


Then we watched some TV and went to bed for, uh, snuggling. (Come to think of it, we did quite a bit of snuggling last weekend.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stay tuned for my post about next weekend. My son Brian is going upstate for the weekend, which leaves Lori and I alone without worrying when he and his girl friend will pop up. One thing for sure is that we won't have a lot of dirty laundry since clothing will be optional and even discouraged all weekend. Sort of like the rules in nudist camps. ;-)

Anyone want to come over?

Nigerian Spammer - Part 9

I haven't heard from the bank yet, nor has Ellie May heard back from Willy, but my "Good Partner" Willy sent me another email to calm my concerns about where I was going to get the routing number and the $750 to pay some imaginary fee in Nigeria. Looks like I don't need no stinking routing number if I just open an online bank account.

I think it's really funny that no one seems to even know what a routing number is and all I have to do is ask my bank for it. What dicks these guys are. :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Good Partner,

I just received your mail with the point noted.

There is no much problem, I just called my very Good friend that works with an oil company in your country, and I explained everything to him . He has offered to help our situation .

You are advise to go and open an ONLINE BANKING WITH WELLS FARGO BANK so that he can transfer 1000 Dollars to your account, which you will send 940 Dollars and use 60 Dollars as the western union charges.

Once you open the account and send me the following information you use in opening the account, as stated

1: Your Account Number 2: Your House zip code and your full names you use in opening the account

Once you send the following above, I will call my friend to send the cash to your account so that we will be able to offset the bill at hand.

I will do my best to come up with the balance as soon as my friend send the 1000 Dollars to your account and you send 940 Dollars immediately for our mutual benefit

Urgent reply needed.

Barr William

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WTF is this with a new "Good friend" and now wanting $940? I must relay my concern to Willy before I open a Wells Fargo account. ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Dear Partner Willy,
They sure is good news that I ain't got to pay no money cause that'd be tough. But hey! What's the deal with another partner? How much is he getting for coming up with the cash like this. You ain't said we have a nother partner. Can we trust this here guy to keep his mouth shut? Sides the bank only wants $750.000 so where are the rest a the moneys going?
Bestest regards
Milburn

Yes Patty Cake, people fall for this scam. More people than you'd ever believe. Here's just one of many stories about these con artists you can find on the Internet. This one is from 2004.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dutch police arrests 52 'Nigerian' spammers

In January, Dutch police have arrested 52 people suspected of large scale internet fraud with the infamous 'Nigerian e-mail' scam.

The scammers sent spam e-mails asking for help in transferring a large sum of money out of their country (usually Nigeria), in exchange for a generous percentage. According to an AP news report, the gang had reaped millions of Euros. A task force of 80 officers raided 23 apartments, seizing computers, fake passports and 50,000 Euro in cash.

Jan Willem Broekema, board member of the Dutch Data Protection Authority explained during the OECD workshop on spam that he expected hundreds more to be arrested in the nearby future, presumably putting a worldwide stop to the Nigerian scam.

Arrests have been made in several countries in recent years, including Australia, Canada, and the United States, but the brunt seemed based in Amsterdam, in a remote high-rise area locally known as 'Bijlmer'. Six people, three from Nigeria and three from Benin, were convicted in a similar case in Amsterdam in May, receiving sentences of up to 4 1/2 years. They had robbed their victims for at least 4 million euros. The most spectacular victim of the gang, a Swiss professor, transferred almost half a million euro. The money was necessary to buy chemicals to clean banknotes with a total value of 36 million US Dollars, the gang told the gullible professor. He was promised 25% of that amount.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You'd think that a professor would be smart enough not to get conned like that.

LOL... they want my routing number again. What dicks! They sure have bad memories, because I already told them "I ain't git no routing number and don't know where to get one".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I waited all day to answer the bank just to worry Willy some more and then at the last minute, I decided not to reply to the bank but to ask my barrister Willy for some help. I figured a little more delay can't hurt, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Willy!

I'm not used to all this here work for sure. I need your help wit something. I got another email from the bank and that stupid Dr Musa Bako what is the directer of the bank says I needs a routing number after saying I don't needs one. I already told yous all that I don't have one and don't know where to get one and that I need you or the bank to help me or something. Anyways, read the email he sent me and tell me where to get a routing number and what I got to do. And he wants some money. You never said i had to give no body any money. That $750 is a heck a lot .
Fondly
Milburn

PS
Ellie May says hi. I thin she likes you. Do you like her?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, fuck it! Why keep the bank waiting? It might ruin the deal..................NOT! ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Mr Dr Bako,

Now yous tell me to give it to you again. Where do i get a routing number? And i already give you my account number befere so why is you axing me fer it again? Why do i need to gives you $750? That's a plum heck of a lot of moneys! How about yous just take it from the money I am getting? Seems to me that is a heck of a lot easier huh?
Regards
Milburn Drysdale

While I let the bank squirm wondering when I was going to send them my "Banking Details", I thought about my partner Willy and how much he must be pineing away for my sister Ellie May. I mean he does seem interested in her right. So I thought an email from her would be in order.

Happy Birthday Lori

Today is Lori's birthday. Please join me in wishing her.

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Lori,
Happy birthday to you.



Lori, I love you babe.

I'm in love with you too...

...forever.

Can’t Help Falling In Love HNT


Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you
For I cant help falling in love with you



This picture was taken last weekend by my pool. Lori was swimming and as soon as this song came on the radio, she rushed out of the pool and we danced together and sang the song to each other. It was very romantic to say the least.

Old Bottle

Does anyone know anything about old bottles?

I have an old bottle I found snorkeling in Bermuda about 25 years ago and was wondering what it is worth, if anything. I was told at the time that it is a rum bottle that some soldier tossed in the water. Since the fort was built in the 1600's, this could make the bottle pretty old. Here's a picture of it.



I'd appreciate any information anyone has?
