Why Is It ...

… that the other day I stared at the screen for several minutes and then announced, “God this show is boring,” and then heard my boss say, “This is a zoom meeting.” Still, I wasn't exactly wrong.

… that when someone yells stop, I don’t know if it’s “in the name of love,” or if it’s “Hammer time,” or if I need to “smell the roses.”

… that sometimes a yawn is so good you just gotta scream at the end.

… that when people tell me that I shouldn’t let the cats sleep in the bed with me, they don’t understand that I would lets our cats take a loan out in my name.

… that when people say I’m overthinking the situation they don’t realize that I have no other form of thinking.

… that my grocery list is always very simple … #1: Don’t run into anyone I know, and #2 Bread.

… that when someone is trying to offend me they don’t understand that my sense of humor is blacker than my coffee.

… that Taylor Swift could be performing live from my kitchen and I still wouldn’t go.

… that no one ever told me that when I got older the weather app would become part of my daily routine.

  2. I wouldn't know T-Swift if I sat next to her on a plane, I talked with a US Senator for 90 minutes one morning, and never did recognize him.

    1. I do find it far more accurate than our so-called weather people.

  5. STOP the world; I want to get off.
    Your new banner is heartbreakingly true. Yeah, I check the weather app throughout the day. I have the added responsibility of checking for SG and converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

    1. It's not possible for me, but then I cream on the regular.

  7. The correct answer is always: "STOP! In the name of love..."

    Bonus points +5 if you can't read it without doing the hand motions at the same time; +10 if you complete the line of the song and keep on singing.

  8. I'm with you on Taylor Swift. I just don't get the appeal.
    The weather app is definitely a middle aged app, but when you are truly old you download Merlin (an app that identifies the bird song.).

    1. No offense, but if I ever download an app to identify a bird song, please have me committed! 😁😁😁

  9. Looking back through all of your "Why Is It" posts Bob, your list of foibles is so enormous that I sometimes wonder how you ever managed to secure lawful employment!

  10. Your new header shocks the senses in how it so accurately visualizes what things have come to under the current regime.

  11. I love my cat enough to allow her to sleep on or in the bed, but there's no way I'd let her take out a loan!
