Why Is It ...

… that I can handle most things in life but hearing someone chew their food is not one of them?

… that the Good News is that I am pretty much who I say I am, and the Bad News is that I’m pretty much who I say I am?

… that if you treat others the way they treat you, they seem to get very upset?

… that still say, "How stupid can you be?" even knowing that most people take that as a challenge?

… that I need a day between every day to recover from the day before and prepare for the day ahead?

… that I am a person who wants to do a lot of things but I’m trapped in the body of a person who wants to sleep a lot?

… that I know I’m with my people when I don’t have to be careful about what I say?

… that my heart has no room for some people in my life, but the trunk of my car has plenty of room for them?

  1. Very deep thoughts, the late 70's cars had the best trunks.

    1. You could store several bodies in those cars ... if you were so inclined, I mean.

    I usually follow "How stupid can you be?" with "You've gotta be kidding (or shitting) me!" And there ain't a trunk big enough!

  5. That first one! Balder Half's sister eating a hot dog- "smack, smack, smack", makes me want to smack her upside her face with a bat!
    Why is it when I read these, I get violent?

    1. Happens to me, too! That's why I no longer carry a bat with me.

    2. I find that fruit bats work better than the vampire ones when it comes to facial violence. Those pointy noses work like spears! I've since had to switch to the kind baseball players use. Animals have rights. I'm in a very silly mood today. I hope it lasts.

    3. It's hard to grab a fruit bat and hit someone around the face and neck with it, so I'll remember, fondly, my Louisville Slugger.
      I like silly Deedles.

    If a trunk isn’t available, a truck with a tarp will do.

    1. Bodies sometimes bounce out of trucks ... or so I've heard.

  8. I suspect I'm a lot like you in that I tend to upset many people, and to my own delight, I really don't care.

    1. I don't want to hurt people [much] but I will always speak my mind.

  9. Once again ... kudos for such excellent thought-provoking questions! I can identify with so many, especially the sleeping 😴 one!

    1. I am, right now, debating whether to nap or not. And I think i know how this plays out ...

  10. Recovery times and sleeping are all part of the "fun" phase of life called growing old.

  11. I feel you on the chewing thing! And yeah, the struggle between being who you are and dealing with others' reactions is too real. And don't even get me started on needing a day between every day! Can I sign up for that? And hey, sometimes the trunk of the car seems like the perfect place for certain people, right? 😅

  12. I agree, I can't stand to hear people chewing, or eating with their mouths open!!! Drive me nuts!

    2. A fruit bat tied to a Louisville slugger! That's the ticket!

    3. Oy, this is getting to be too much work and I'm sleepy ....

  13. Yes, on all of the above, sweetpea! I've also decided to live by these two things: 1. Only the hit dog hollers and 2. There's always some jagoff who says, "Hold my beer." xoxo
