At one end of our back deck we have a huge Holly bush, roughly
ten feet tall, and I am the one who usually trims it. I can reach a great deal
of it from the ground and roughly three-quarters of the top from the deck but
need a ladder to completely trim to top of Holly. Last weekend, I hauled a
ladder from the garage and set it up alongside the Holly bush, and then called
Carlos, who was edging the lawn along the fence line, to come hold the ladder
while I finished my job.
Afterwards, he went back to his mowing while I carted the
ladder back into the garage and then mowed the back lawn and cleaned up some
other shrubbery that needed a cut.
Later, I was in the office and Carlos came back and said:
“Do I need to put the ladder away?”
“No, I put it away when I was finished.”
“Okay.”
We did some inside housework, and then I cooked dinner and
after that I was back in the office doing some more paperwork when Carlos
appeared in the doorway and said:
“Do I need to put the ladder away?”
“No, I put it away when I was finished.”
“Okay.”
“Um, are you Groundhogging me or gaslighting me?”
“Why?”
“Because you asked me that question a few hours ago.”
“I don’t remember … ”
Groundhogging, I think. |

DeleteMark Romain? Yes. I need a picker-upper.
ReplyDeleteI too thought that was a sex toy on the bed!
So, did Carlos EVER put away the ladder?
Mark would be good at that!
DeleteI cannot unsee the "sex toy" either, now!
I think Carlos is still looking for it.
It's 'The Men Warehouse Doomlords'
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll take Stormy over Melanoma (as my one friend calls her) any day. Stormy is a whore with a heart. Melanoma is a heartless whore. I love how you (and my one friend) keep misnaming the Russian (Slovakian?) porn model cum accidental first lady. Love it.
And I can bet between Mark and those Calvins ....
I mean...
XOXO
Hey, her husband called her Melanie on Twitter once so, you know, it stuck!
DeleteAnd your comparison between Melanie and Stormy is perfection!
Mark was hothothot on that episode of Drag Race!
xoxo
I like watching RuPaul's Drag Race and remember that episode! I'm always amazed at the transformations that the drag queens do.
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning what a little contouring and makeup and some tucking can do!
DeleteI do believe I would side with you. When Carlos asked you for the fifth time did you put the ladder away you should have said no I let him wonder where it was, LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Melanie doesn't care what goes on. Every time Trump fucks up she probably gets awarded something just to keep quiet.
Mark is the one I thought was most hot during that episode.That smile lit up a room and he and Nymphia had such nice repore with each other. That's said...id taken a 2x4 to her and taken him!!!!!!
I was tempted to tell him it was still outside and see how long it would take him to realize it had been put away!
DeleteMelanie is here for the coins and every time he fucks up,she gets a payday.
I agree; Mark was a hottie on that episode. I'd have kicked Nymphia to the side for a shot with Mark!
Don't you think that someone who looks to find the "love of their life" on a TV programme is slightly bonkers to begin with?
ReplyDeleteI have never watched those shows, but it strikes me funny that people think they can find "true love" like that.
DeleteI once, 20 years ago, attended a lecture at a local college. The female presenter had written a book on the exploitative nature of reality TV and concentrated on The Bachelor. After the 3rd or 4th sob story of women whose "lives had been ruined by the lies of the show's producers," I couldn't hold back. I sighed a bit and chuckled...oh my, the dirty looks! During Q & A, I asked if ANY of the book reported on grown women putting themselves in harm's way for want of money or fame or a husband. I was instantly chided for my lack of sensitivity and ignorance! I agreed and told the woman that maybe I should lose my job as the harassment investigator at the college where I split my time between ridding it of the harassers and helping people avoid situations guaranteed to be harmful. Suffice it to say I do not watch any of those shows! 🤨
ReplyDeleteI don't watch them either but I still find myself shocked at the people who watch, the people who audition, and those that think it's the way to find love.
DeleteSo much good stuff this week, Bob. The Pool Noodles seems like a great gang name for Mike Johnson but the The Male Concubines of Mar-a-Lago is more appropriate for how cowardly and sleazy they really are.
ReplyDeleteSo many titles, so little time before Johnson gets the boot.
DeleteNews clippings, hairspray, and shampoo? What, no spray-tan-in-a-can?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for Orange Deck Stain in a can!
DeleteI came here for Carlos and the catcanoodles. I stayed for the tweet. How's about The Men's Wearhouse Raging Asshole Doomlords? Works for me, anyway.
ReplyDeleteCarlos and the Catcanoodles, now there's a band name, and the Tweet for the win!
DeleteI'm sure Melanoma has already used the Stormy affair to slice and dice the Pre-Nup. There's actually a show called The Golden Bachelor? I see Paul Rudnick missed Idiot Parade, that one always gets my vote. And I'd say Mark hits the mark.
ReplyDeleteMelanie probably put Stormy up to the affair so she could get more coins in her checking account, too!
DeletePoor Stormy... imagine having to recount the most terrifying 11 seconds of your life! And Cawthorne - yeah, NO ONE say that coming, huh? Bah-ha.
ReplyDeleteI live for her description of Hair Furor's tiny orange nether regions!
DeleteLOL -- I love "The Men's Wearhouse Doomlords."
ReplyDeleteOf course Madison Cawthorn moved to Florida, because that's what everyone eventually does, apparently. (At least all the Republican gay-vague assholes.)
That's a wonderful picture of Tuxedo, Consuelo and Max Goldberg!
The cats did love holding the unmade bed hostage!
DeleteThis weeks Tales was an extra amusing read. Melanie should support #45 in court to ensure he wins and has plenty of money for the divorce settlement.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Tales of Carlos, too; when I realized he wasn't trying to gaslight me!
DeleteCarlos and I have something in common. I have a hard time remembering things, especially things my daughter supposedly told me. :p
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great if someone could find a way to get a camera on Melania's face while Stormy testifies? Though I do think, as you mentioned, that she'll be far, far, far away while that's happening.
When I heard there was to be a "Golden" Bachelor, I gagged. What's next, Dementia Bachelor? Actually, that might be more fun to watch.
Carlos really stopped me in my tracks the second time he asked the question because it was so much like the first time, I thought it was a deja vu thing!
DeleteDementia Bachelor? Don't give them any ideas!
Trump falling asleep in court is no big deal. It 's what old guys in retirement homes do every afternoon. In courtroom photos, Trump has appeared especially ugly, almost monstrous these past two weeks. I think that Stormy Daniels would expect far more than $130,000 if Trump came on to her today. I wonder what Barron thinks of his daddy.
ReplyDeleteI think all these trials and charges and court cases are getting to Hair Furor, and he will get uglier and meaner before it's all said and done!
DeleteSadly, I think Barron knows all about his daddy!
I love the picture of the cats all sleeping on your bed.
ReplyDeleteThey took over the bed nearly every morning!
DeleteMelanoma or whatever her name is, must be waiting out the pre-nup. More than one widow has said, it is easier to collect life insurance than alimony.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of it like that, but I believe you are correct, sir!
