… that I wouldn’t call myself
quirky but there is definitely something wrong with me.
… that my boss asked me why I
was gone for seven hours to smoke and I told him, "It was a brisket and that’s how long
it takes. What?"
… that curly fries are my
favorite snack because they are salty and spiraling … like me.
… that there are people my
age out there climbing mountains and running marathons and zip-lining, and I’m
here at home reveling in the glory that is getting my leg through my
underwear without toppling over.
… that while I may not have
lost all my marbles I admit there’s a small hole in the bag somewhere.
… that in the old days my
taste in dates was so bad, that my Walk of Shame was on my way to the
date.
… that you can burn all the
sage you want but still you don’t understand that I will be back.
… that people at work are mad
that I have taken to calling everyone “fucker.” I mean, when you think about
it, “fucker” is gender neutral so I'm being politically correct. |
It is a wonder why more of us don't snap.
ReplyDeleteWho says we don't? 😓😓😓
DeleteBeing a pretty perfect human being, I would have trouble coming up with just a handful of foibles but your list seems to be endless.
ReplyDeleteI got you covered!
DeleteQuirky is different, not wrong, it's when the quirks turn to quarks that problems begin.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy my quirks.
DeleteHubs is 14 years younger than me and wants to go hiking etc. and doesn’t realize the challenges involved in putting on socks. I tell him to wait 14 years and see if he still wants to go for a hike.
ReplyDelete"I tell him to wait 14 years and see if he still wants to go for a hike."
DeletePerfection!
These all make perfect sense to me. Bless you for your gender neutrality. I’m the same, but there are too many ignorant fuckers out there that just don’t understand,
ReplyDeleteI do get looks when I walk into work and say, "Morning Fuckers."
DeleteImagine if you worked at Smuckers…
Delete😂😂😂
DeleteI do look forward to Saturdays with you! I think that makes me "quirky!"
ReplyDeleteThe quirkier the better!

Oh Bob, there are so many of these I resemble! Story about marbles - 4 years before I planned to retire, I put 48 marbles in a jar and at the end of the month I'd take one out. I'd tell people that when I'd lost all my marbles I'd be out of there. Well, I retired four months early so there were a few left in the jar so I manaaged to keep a few. :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all could use a few ... just in case.
DeleteHa! I love the brisket joke. Somewhere deep down (or not so deep down) you have the makings of a Borscht-belt comic.
ReplyDeleteThat was something I heard; I don't smoke--except for a brisket--but I love the comeback!
DeleteI have never understood the concern about losing one's marbles. Mine never did a damned thing for me! I didn't lose mine...I evicted them years ago because they were taking up space without benefitting me in the slightest! And, since not one person in my circle ever noticed or asked where all my marbles had gone, I figured I was better off without those over-rated orbs!! 🙂
ReplyDeleteThey do make all kinds of noise rattling around my cranium!
DeleteI'm quirky and there's a lot wrong with me. I don't think anything is wrong with you. I'm sure you're younger than I am so I'm glad I'm not the only one having age-related problems and triumphs. One of my biggest fears these days is that I'll fall off the toilet in the master bedroom bath and be stuck between the toilet and wall like a beached whale. Take care, my love.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Carlos' mother recently was on the toilet and leaned over and toppled to the floor. Now I think of THAT every time I sit down!

We have a family saying (for which I shall roast in Hell for telling it publicly) - Is/was Mother losing her marbles, or just rearranging or hiding them and not telling us?
ReplyDeleteBTW I once gave my supervisor a jar with 5 marbles in it - one for each of his direct reports. I told him that as long as he could match the marbles with the cubicles, things were going OK.

I like the idea of rearranging the marbles!
DeleteYou are so clever, Bob!
ReplyDeleteAt times ....
DeleteI haven't lost any of my marbles. They're all still in the jar on the shelf...
ReplyDeleteLucky!
