EASTER SUNDAY

My health insurance company pays me $200 a year if I exercise at the health club a minimum of 10 times a month. And so every week as I plan my activities, I make sure I schedule 2 or 3 visits to the health club. Well this weekend, because I had stayed out late on Friday night, I planned to go to the club on Sunday instead of Saturday -- for my usual workout. But when I turned on the radio, as I woke up this morning, I heard some ‘bad’ news. The radio broadcaster made an announcement about the Pope leading an Easter service at the Vatican.

Oh my gosh !!!! Well, of course, the health would be closed today on Easter Sunday. How could I have been so thoughtless? Obviously, I’ll have to squeeze in an extra visit sometime during this next week. What a hassle, but I should have known better.

ROBO-CALLS & DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS

I frequently receive “robo-calls” from non-profit organizations and politicians, but yesterday, I received “robo-calls” from both my doctor’s and dentist’s office as I have appointments on Tuesday to see both of them.

I appreciate the reminder calls, but they need to “get their act together.” I was not at home to answer either one of the calls, thus, the “robots” left messages on my answering machine. Stating the time and date of my appointment was helpful, but the “robot” then instructed me to press ‘1’ to confirm my appointment.

That is all well and good if I had taken the call personally. But I played the message on my answering machine instead and pushing the number 1 only resulted in activating the next call. Well that sure is stupid. What do they expect me to do now? Of course I will have to call the doctor’s and dentist’s office to assure them I will arrive for my appointment. But whoever recorded the “robo-call” should have provided a telephone number for the calls that did not get picked up by a human!!!

MY INVESTMENT BROKER

This morning, my investment broker, June, called and asked me if I had called her last evening. Her call surprised me, because I have never call her at home only at her office. But I had in fact made several calls the night before and it dawned on me that without knowing it, one of the calls might have been to her.

I own a little real estate business where I call homeowners who are attempting to sell their own homes. I wish them good luck, but add if they ever decide to stop trying on their own and list with a real estate agent, I can recommend an excellent realtor at no charge to them. This in fact is true because instead of the owner paying me, the realtor pays me a finder’s fee when the house is sold. It’s not a bad business. I simply make some phone calls and collect anywhere from about $500 to a few thousand dollars!!!

And so by coincidence, the other night, one of the calls I made, unbeknownst to me was to June.

HEALTH CLUB MEMBER

As I drove up to the library this afternoon, I noticed a woman I recognized walking towards the library. I reached the door at the same time she did and realized I knew her from the Health Club. I have often seen her swimming in the pool at the same time I swam.

I said, “Hello,” and asked if she planned on going to the health club after she finished at the library, as that’s what I planned to do. She replied yes, but she had a few errands to run before heading to the health club. By coincidence I also had to make another stop and would be at the club after picking up some groceries.

And lo and behold, an hour later we met again in the swimming pool. What a coincidence!

WEBSITE TRAFFIC

Every webmaster anxiously tries to drive lots of traffic to their site. Of course, I’m no different and I frequently google keywords for my site to see on which page google has placed my site. I always hope www.FunnyPhotosContest.com will appear on the first page. Unfortunately for most searches I don’t even come close.

And so I decided to survey the contestants who send photos to my site to find out how they discovered the site. To my great surprise the four people who have responded so far all said, they found my site through a google search. Unbelievable!!! I didn’t know what kind of results I would receive from my survey, but the frosting on the cake came from one person who also wrote, “Your site is great. Really enjoy. Found your site on google when searched for funny photos contests. Keep up the great work.”

STEVE H.

Recently when I talked to my friend Steve, I happened to mention that my daughter and her family would be coming to my house for the Passover seder. He kind of hinted that I should invite him. But I hadn’t purchased enough food so instead I invited him to come for lunch today and I would make fried matzoh (a mixture of matzoh fried with scrambled eggs), one of his favorites.

But yesterday as I was getting things together, I couldn’t help but wonder if Steve would actually show up. He does have a habit of canceling plans. And sure enough, I was right. The phone rang early this morning and Steve said he didn’t feel well and was going to urgent care to see a doctor. Oh well … less work for me.

TAHINI

I make great humus and all my friends enjoy it whenever they visit. The key ingredient besides garbanza beans is tahini. Unfortunately, the store where I shop for groceries has stopped carrying tahini. There’s another small grocery store where I sometimes shop, but when I called to ask if they sell tahini, they regretfully told me, “no”.

Luckily, I have wonderful neighbors. Recently I told my neighbor, Barb, about my dilemma and yesterday morning¸ by complete surprise, she called me to tell me she was at a store I have never been to. Lo and behold they had tahini on their shelf. So she asked if I wanted her to buy it for me. Of course, without a second thought I said, “Yes, please do. And thank you, thank you, thank you.”
