Why Is It ...

… that, and this is no brag, I don’t need alcohol to send texts I’ll regret later.

…that the reason I look both ways before crossing a One-Way street is because I have so little faith in Humanity.

… that my flag is not red white and blue … it’s white … I give up. Leave me alone.

… that I am still stunned at how much I can get done around the house out of the fear of someone coming over.

… that I always take life with a grain of salt … a slice of lime and a shot of tequila.

… that no one believes I was born irritated. I mean, otherwise, there’s no way that people get on my nerves this much.

… that I feel like I’m in jail when I’m around unfunny people for more than two minutes.

… that  the three stages of growing up are Young and Dumb, Motivated and Hopeful, and Fuck Everyone and Everything.

… that I like my coffee like I like my men … sliding off the roof of my car as I drive away.

… that if you can’t look back at your younger self and realize you were an idiot,you’re probably still an idiot.

  5. My most famous text, described the executive director of a national consumer advocacy group as "a frustrated old cow." She is, but people were surprised that anyone would say it.

    1. Luckily, or not, I am more rude in person than in text. And I don't regret that either!

  8. In England we have these things called zebra crossings, in which pedestrians basically trust drivers to stop. (You're supposed to make eye contact with the driver to negotiate to cross, with the understanding that they're supposed to stop if they can.) I always find them unsettling, precisely because, like you, I mistrust humanity!

    🏳I have used my white flag so often lately, it has gotten a bit dirty and dingy! I find myself waving a flag that is more ecru, if you will!! 🤭

  10. Oh, yeah, I WAS an idiot. And you’re right about humanity, which is why I always look both ways, too. My stages of life got a bit confused. I remember being young, dumb, and motivated to fuck everyone.

    1. You've combined several stages of life into one; that works, too!

    1. I dug it out for you. Blogger even sends some of MY replies on MY blog about MY posts to spam. Go figure!

    2. It's been really grating on my last gay nerve. It does the same to me. Not sure what's going on with this issue.

    3. Steven , from Shadows & Light's, comments ALWAYS go to spam, so I fish his out,too. Not all of your do, so I don't know why that is? Is Blogger a republican?

  15. Our city did away with one way streets several years ago. It seems drivers all over the world are mostly idiots. Pedestrians must look both ways.
    I don't worry too much about anyone dropping in. We rarely have company and the few who come by already know what to expect. :)

  18. I hate being around unfunny people and I know so many of them. I grew up around people who told jokes and laughed and teased each other in nice ways so everybody laughed. Even the people being teased took it for what it was and laughed.
