… 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. |
"… that I like my coffee like I like my men … sliding off the roof of my car as I drive away." Good job that Carlos is not a coffee then. Which drink would you liken him to?
ReplyDeleteHe's an aged to perfection red wine.
DeleteI always look both ways too -- and for the same reason!
ReplyDeleteRight??!?!
Delete" that if you can’t look back at your younger self and realize you were an idiot,you’re probably still an idiot." Yes I was but I have no regrets. OMG, what I did...
ReplyDeleteOh I realize I was an idiot back in the day and I'm happy I survived that!
DeleteI look back at my younger self and think "I shoulda..."! Oh well, trying to make up for it now!
ReplyDeleteKeep trying!!!
DeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, or not, I am more rude in person than in text. And I don't regret that either!
DeleteAnd I thought I was the only one kept his house presentable for that unwanted moment.
ReplyDeleteActually I don't really which is why if you wanna come to my house CALL FIRST!!!!!!!!
DeleteI am in Stage 3 of my life! LOL Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Marcia!
DeleteIn 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!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I trust someone with a vehicle aimed at me!
Delete🏳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!! 🤭
ReplyDeleteEcru works; it still says I give up and I won't even wash my flag!!!
DeleteOh, 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.
ReplyDeleteYou've combined several stages of life into one; that works, too!
DeleteOh, dear. I was born in stage 3 and stayed there! I like my coffee like I like my men, sweet and loaded with cream.
ReplyDeleteI entered Stage 3 at a very young age.
DeleteI like your coffee!
the dog's mother
ReplyDeleteWith us we'd need a week's advance notice!
xoxo :-)
I feel that!
Deletexoxo
Many of these had me chuckling today!!!! Especially the fuck everyone and everything!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that blogger always send my comments to the fucking spam folder?
ReplyDeleteI dug it out for you. Blogger even sends some of MY replies on MY blog about MY posts to spam. Go figure!
DeleteIt's been really grating on my last gay nerve. It does the same to me. Not sure what's going on with this issue.
DeleteSteven , 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?
DeleteOur 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't worry too much about anyone dropping in. We rarely have company and the few who come by already know what to expect. :)
People are idiots, plain and simple.
DeleteWhy is it, that in failing small towns in America, the most prosperous looking business is the funeral home?
ReplyDeleteTruth; the old guard sticks around
DeleteThis had me thinking about some of the comments I made during my professional career! No wonder there was an open bar at my "going away" party! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCheers 🍸🍸🍸
Deletexoxo
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.
ReplyDeleteUnfunny people are sad, I think; no joy.
