Olives are Eye Balls
Mom and Granny loved olives, more specifically olives stuffed with pimento and for the holiday’s they would have a tray with an assortment of olives. I was not an eater of olives. Nope. They were gross to me and I was not even interested in trying them; they looked like eyeballs! I remember asking, “Mom! Who wants to eat eyeballs?” and she laughed and said she quite enjoys them and I would, too, if I weren’t so set against liking them. *eye roll* Years later, and I mean 25+ years later, I tried black olives and loved them! Oh goodness, is this what Mom was talking about? Then I went…

Kids Know More Than We Give Them Credit For.
The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon “quickie” with their 8-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighbourhood activities. “There’s a car being towed from the parking lot,” he shouted. He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation: “An ambulance just drove by!” “Looks like the Andersons have company,” he called out. “Matt’s riding a new bike!” “Looks like the Sanders are moving!” “Jason is on his skate board!” After a few moments he announced, “The Coopers are having sex!!” Startled, his mother and dad shot up…

A Quickie
A man goes into a restaurant and is seated. All the waitresses are gorgeous. A particularly voluptuous waitress wearing a very short skirt and legs that won’t quit came to his table and asked if he was ready to order: “What would you like, sir?” He looks at the menu and then scans her beautiful frame top to bottom, then answers, “A quickie.” The waitress turns and walks away in disgust. After she regains her composure she returns and asks again, “What would you like, sir?” Again the man thoroughly checks her out and again answers, “A quickie, please.” This time her anger takes over, she reaches over and slaps…

It’s a Day of Anniversaries!
Please join me in wishing Zany and Gregg (with 2 g’s) a very happy birthday. Zany- I hope that you had a great day at work, that you got some cake and that you are now celebrating in true Zany fashion- with a shot glass raised and a fun night ahead. Gregg with 2 g’s: I hope that no matter where you found yourself today, that it was a most excellent day of celebration! You were working. I know you well enough to know that, but I do hope that you did something that made you smile, and if not, I hope you had some cake because that would make…

Classic Rock and Good Cars
A topic in my cam room today was about how classic rock will still be listened to in the next century and someone chimed in to say Classic Rock is like old cars- good, solid and classic. Although, not all old cars are classics- take the Yugo for example, which I had to look up, there is nothing worth saving on that car. Plus, from the discussion, Yugo’s would fall apart while rolling down the street. What was your classic car growing up? What classic car do you wish you would have saved instead of scrapping? For me, it would have been one of my older brother’s ’65 Mustang. He…

May the Fourth Be With You
I know, I know. *groan* from all of those that don’t care for Star Wars. I am right there with you! I have never been a fan. If you put a SW film on the TV, I will promptly take a nap and only come out of my dreamland if Jar Jar Binks is on the screen, the Ewoks are running or the dude that talks backwards is talking at me. He makes me laugh, that Yoda. Other than that, I don’t care that what’s his name is Luke’s dad, which we didn’t find out about until recently, and the only reason I know that is because social fucking media…

Abby’s Rough Start to the Week
So…. you know Abby despises the Roomba, whom MtnMan has affectionately named the Dog Snatcher? It has been acting haywire for a month now, and last week while we were in Twin, I had it remap the entire house because after 10 reboots, the customer service people insisted that must happen in order to fix this problem. Yesterday it completed a job in 7 minutes, when 1 room takes 30-45 minutes, and when I sent it to clean another room, it left the home base and did donuts about 3 feet from the base and then kept head butting the sliding glass doors until it finally ended back up on…

Happy May Day 2021
“April showers bring May flowers” was my favorite season as a kid. I have always enjoyed rainstorms, no matter how severe, and May was full of blooms and new growth after all of the April storms. Here we are starting another month, fresh and that is good reason to smile. Another month, another week, another day. It’s a good day for a good day! Did you know that this was a day that was celebrated by the International Worker’s day in the late 19th century? In fact, it was chosen by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Hamarket affair in Chicago. Well, that does not…

A Penny For Your Thoughts?
What is the first thing to come to mind?

Thank You, Someone.
A few weeks ago I received an amazing surprise- a pair of socks, but not just any kind of socks, elephant socks! Two of my passions. Socks. Elephants. Combine them and we’ve got ourselves a pair of amazing socks. I have tweeted a few times, but no one has claimed them. I would just like you to know that I absolutely love them and they match a top that I have not been able to pair with socks, until now.. it is perfect harmony, the top and these socks.
