Wednesday, April 25, 2012

The alternate title to this was going to be, “How stupid do they think we are”? I decided to go with today’s title because it sounds nicer. Now two months ago my fake ice cream was priced at $4.99. Pretty steep but worth it as a treat. Since I can’t have milk products I have [...]

And now for something completely different

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

The fake photo inquiries continue!

Monday, April 16, 2012

Several weeks ago I wrote about the fraudulent wedding inquiries.  Well, steam is picking up on that front.  This weekend I received 3 more bogus wedding booking requests.  All reading like the last.  Interestingly enough, the e-mail format has changed slightly.

Location lighting – what’s in the bag?

Saturday, April 14, 2012
