Why Is It ...

… that all of the sudden my neighbor hates me. At her garage sale I asked her  “How much for the angry gnome?” How was I supposed to know that was her kid.

… that my ducks are absolutely not in a row; I don’t even know where some of them are and I’m pretty sure one of them is a pigeon.

… that people don’t understand that they should never ask me for advice. I will just give you a shot of tequila and tell you life’s a bitch.

… that no one told me that as I get older the weather app will become a part of my routine.

… that I just want to experience one full day without getting irritated … like a limited time offer of inner peace.

… that while I may not put the sparkle in your eye, I am responsible for those WTF wrinkles in your forehead.

… that I one time I said, ‘I’m never getting out of this horrendous escape room’ amd my boss said,’You really have to stop saying that every time you clock out.

… that whenever I pick the remote up off the floor with my feet while lying on the couch, I call it a Leg Day.

… that people should know that if they’ve ever felt that I don’t like them, for any reason, they should trust that feeling.

    😳 Wow! Are you a contortionist? If I could pick up my remote with my foot, I wouldn't need talcum powder! 🤭 Old joke, just like me! 🤣

    1. It's an aging thing; I remember my Dad checking it every morning and now I do the same.

  4. Checking the weather's a game. It varies according to which site you visit.

  6. Definitely many gems this week. If you had said the first one to me, I would have laughed...your neighbour has no sense of humour.
    Ah...the weather app. Here in Canada the weather is usually our first topic of conversation, so one needs to know. :)

    1. I always check the weather when I wake up and right before I go to bed; and if there's chance of storms, I check many times during the day!

  7. I use my feet (toes) to pick up leaves and other debris from the pool bottom....people think the ability is weird. I simply have dextrous feet!

    1. I'm the same ... feet are like hands and should be treated as such!
