Why Is It ...

... that people need to know that, while I might be annoying, at least MY lock screen isn’t a selfie.

… that when I was younger and my parents told me not to come home late, I always came home early … the next morning.

… that I miss the old days back in 1955 when I didn’t exist.

… that the fact that I have more clothes to sleep in than I do to go out in says a lot about who I am as a person.

… that I want to join the cicadas this summer and just scream for six weeks straight.

… that when a social media post includes “I bet none of my friends will share this” you can rest assured I won’t.

… that when I know my social media page is being watched I post things on purpose, just to ruffle your feathers.

… that sometimes the best place to be is nowhere to be found.

… that no one  or nothing has had a bigger glow up in the last ten years than cauliflower. It went from being nasty ashy broccoli to being the Mystique of vegetables, always coming at you with a new shape. You want rice? Mashed potatoes? Pasta? Cheese? Pizza? Low cost housing? A man? Make it from cauliflower.

  2. Just a small correction, cicadas don't scream, they sing, or to be more precise, they vibrate their wings against their thighs in a harmonious tune when they're looking for sex.

  5. Well not to treat my own horn, but I make a delicious cream of cauliflower soup.

    And for Pete's sakes, I still say I won't stay out late just two drinks I'll say, and Friends and I still don't get in to around three or the next morning.

  6. My Dad used to say, "he's a real character". It was a compliment, and it describes you completely.

    🫶 In January 1955, I began to exist! There was no world before then! 🤪
    As for cicadas, this is the year of Brood XIV (band name!). Come on a safari with me! 🎶🤘

  9. I've never understood why people fall for those "I bet none of my friends will share this" posts. Even very smart people, who I know from my years in journalism to be critical thinkers, are re-posting that stuff! What the heck?!

    1. I don't repost anything that anyone asks me to repost. I mean, you wanna share, share it all day every day but leave me out of it! 😀

    1. And I love 'em all except the cauliflower?? Go figure!

  15. "Nowhhere to be found" is ALWAYS the best place to be. Cauliflower rice and cauliflower anything else is a big failure in my opinion. I'd rather eat the real thing and have my cauliflower on the side, baked in a cheesy sauce.
