A few evenings ago I received a call from an organization to which we have regularly donated money:

Hello! Is blog-Stedman there?

No, he is working.

Oh! Then I will call him back another time!

Is this about a donation?

Yes!

I am his wife. I can handle this. I will give you $50.

Blog-Stedman gave $100 last year!

I will give you $50.

I am only taking matches or ups!

I said I would give you $50.

Your husband gave $100 last year!

I said I will give you $50. Are you going to take it?

Oh. I guess so…



And now for a totally random photo I took last week:

  1. I was almost going to delete the last comment and repost (typos) but then I realized the irony of making typos in a comment where I just made fun of a typo! Of course, mine wasn’t on a great big glass window, and I’m guessing they didn’t type that. And, I wasn’t offering up a consolt, er consult, or anything…

  2. You are nicer than I am. Derrick ALWAYS gives money to anyone (well, practically anyone) who asks, and I’m sure they’re alwasy dissappointed when the get ME anwering the phone!

    What are they offering CONSOLTS on, I wonder?

  3. You are right… lol you can’t even give money away! haha!!! How rude of that organization! lol Give me the $50…. I won’t argue 🙂 Have a wonderful day

  4. Wow. it’s hard for me to imagine the wisdom of anyone looking for donations this week. That’s just… bizarre. Then to not take the money and run?? Very strange.

  5. wow. how completely rude of them!! i would have said a lower number every time they said something about my husband! WTF??

    i’m glad you stood your ground. 😉

    great random pic! 😉

    have a good weekend.
