Bobservations

This Carlos story needs a flashback because we dig deep …

When we first moved to Camden and purchased Casa Bob y Carlos, we asked Carlos’ Aunt Gloria to visit, and she did … in December when it’s frigid in Camden. And Gloria had only ever lived in Mexico City and Miami and San Juan, so the cold was not her thing. But we tried to make her comfortable and raised the heat while she was here; it got so hot in the house I was in T-shirt and shorts the whole time, but Gloria never felt warm. One day she opened the door to her room and shouted down the hallway:

“Please, boys, turn up the heat. I will happily pay the bill.”

Turn it up we did but she was never warm—which is why she never visited in winter again—but the joke was on us because when she left and I was cleaning the guest room I noticed the vents in her room, and in her bathroom, were all closed! Oy.

So, cut to this morning, and I turn on the AC at about 7:30. We keep the AC at 80-degrees because there are ceiling fans in every room and the house stays cool, but as I walked into the kitchen Carlos says:

“I’ll gladly pay the AC bill for some cool air.”

And I responded thusly:

“You picked the wrong morning to fuck with me.”

“What—"

“I got the most horrendous cramp in my foot at 3AM and couldn’t sleep the rest of the night. I got up to take an aspirin hoping that would ease the pain and hobbled into the kitchen to find … we had no aspirin or Tylenol or anything thing. So I lay in bed wincing and tossing and turning.”

“I thought I told you we needed Ty—”

“Nope, save that story, sister, because if you’d said we needed Tylenol we would have Tylenol.”

“Well, I also had a bad night’s sleep because when I came to bed at 11:30 your phone kept making that sound it makes when you plug the charger into it and I had to get up in the dark and search the room for your phone to unplug it and plug it back in and then try to get some sleep.”

“Did you get some sleep?”

“I did.”

“Well I didn’t get any sleep and so now you will be paying for that for the rest of your natural life.”

Well, at least until the end of the day.

This Tale of Tuxedo is from September 2010 and is entitled “Someone Has it Easy On Caturday...”

"While Carlos and I cleaned house and reorganized a closet … yes, we are that much fun....someone else took a snooze.

Lucky."

Oy, the punim on that cat!

Well, Suri Cruise has officially severed ties with her estranged dad, Tom Cruise, by officially changing her last name from Cruise to Noelle.

$$$cientology; destroying families everywhere.

Last week the Department of Defense released the names of the 18 servicemembers killed since the start of Cankles War for Profit and DUI Pete’s War for Ego. 

But then without a word the names of Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, Pvt. Isabella González, 19, Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30,  and Sgt. Ángel Rampersad, 28, were removed from the list of dead Americans because according to the Regime, since they died during a ceasefire their deaths are not war casualties.

Say their goddamned names. They died for this country!

Sophie Cunningham, basketball player, is the latest athlete to step up against trans women in sports saying she wants to protect children but, um, Sophie, you ignorant fool?

The NCAA president has said there are fewer than 10 openly transgender athletes out of 510,000 athletes yet this dominates headline.

Sophie and the rest of her ick, I mean, ilk might best want to stand up for the women and girls raped by the president and his friendly pedophile buddy.

The thoughts that cross my mind as sleep … we all know cats have excellent night vision; they can leap to the tops of closet shelves, climb atop a bookcase, roam the house all night long so …

Why do they step on my face in the middle of the night?

Cuz it’s a choice, right Rosita?

PS The look on Rosie's face clearly says, "Keep coming for me, buddy, and you'll find out what I step in right before walking across your face!"

In another shameless display of GOP and MAGAt hypocrisy and goose-stepping for their cult leader, think back in recent history when the Cult went mad that NYC had elected a Muslim mayor just 25 years after 9/11 and now they are literally handing nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia, the country that raised the 9/11 attackers because Cankles got paid by the Saudis.

In all honesty I don’t think they’re declaring Mitch McConnel dead because he doesn’t have an unqualified sister to replace him.

Hubert Kacprowicz is a lot of things ... actor ... Biomedical engineer ... and Renaissance man; he's also blond, blue-eyed and tall, so Would You Hit It?

      And we learned to check the vents when we have house guests.

    1. You're right.
      In Rosie's case, looks aren't everything, but she's still a sweetheart most days!

  3. It's not just cats that do weird things (although Wolfie frequently walks across my keyboard when I am trying to type something) at my friend's house a few weeks ago I was sitting back on the sofa when her youngish springer spaniel, named Mimi, ran across the top of the sofa and over my head. Colour me surprised and my friends falling about laughing.

  5. Oh my goodness, the closed vents with Aunt Gloria! 😭 That is peak houseguest comedy—freezing in a sauna because the vents were shut! And 'Save that story, sister' is an absolute all-time line, Bob. Poor Carlos picked the absolute worst morning after a 3 AM foot cramp to quote Tia Gloria! Loved the Tuxedo throwback and Rosita's priceless expression, too.

    1. Luckily, the next time she visited vents were fully operational!
      Carlos did pick the wrong morning and we had a good laugh about it.
      Rosita loves a good Resting Bitch Face™.

  6. Rosita looks like one hell of a big cat - the size of a young tiger or a German shepherd. I wouldn't wish to wrestle with her in the middle of the night. As we do have air-conditioning, I do not understand the problem with closing "the vents". What are vents anyway?

    1. ...do NOT have air-conditioning.

    2. Rosita is a curvy girl and looks tough and looks large but she's a real pussy cat most of the time.
      Vents are where the hot air, or cool air, depending if you are heating or cooling the house, enter the rooms.

  8. Our thermostat has been set at 72.5 for a while now. During one winter visit to South Dakota to see SG’s sister, he snuck out in the middle of the night and checked into a hotel because it was so fricking cold. I thought it was delightful. His sister was furious when she got up for work and saw our car was gone and I then told her where he was. After work, she stormed into the house, marched him to the thermostat, and said, “If you’‘re cold, you just turn this up a little. We’ll manage! ... Oh. I forgot to turn it on last night.”

    Carlos cleaned the house and reorganized a closet with you. He and SG just veered off from each other drastically.

    1. We keep our thermostat at 80, but have ceiling fans in nearly every room, so the house is quite comfy! Every so often, though, Carlos will use his phone to control the thermostat and I'll come home from work to find the house cooling to 65!!!
      Carlos does like to do some cleaning, though the reorganizing AKA thinning the herd of the closet was mostly my doing.

  9. Commiserations on the cramp. I often find myself tramping the bedroom floor while my husband slumbers on.

    1. Carlos used to sleep through hurricanes when we lived in Miami so I found it odd that a noise from a cell phone woke him up!

  10. Yeah....and you know what??? The Muslim mayor is working hard and has ALREADY done things he said he do for New Yorkers!!! What he was elected to do and is delivering his promises. All other politicians...take note!

    Sophie Cunningham. Is she afraid of some competition???

    The married life....I still see a sitcom in your future sweet cheeks🤣🤣

    1. Mamdani is doing what he says, something both parties have a hard time doing!
      Sophie is looking for attention.
      I may call Bravo and offer up The Real Husbands of Camden ....

  11. Lmaooo ‘For the rest of your natural life’. I have to use that sometime soon.

    Transphobes are just famewhores. Desperately in need of attention.
    Mamdani is showing the Dems how it’s done. I’d do Ossoff for democracy. You know, for the country.

    XOXO
