I saw a bumper sticker yesterday and immediately honked a long one.........and then opted to adopt it as my own personal slogan.
• Sweet (grrrr) 85-year-old Mother-In-Law banged right leg on flower pot and ignored the GAPING, FESTERING, and otherwise ugly black wound for 4 weeks before finally telling/showing me.
Just like she did LAST YEAR with the other leg!! This is not a good thing. We’re probably talking surgery & rehab here. Again. And daily trips to the other edge of the earth where her hospital is located.
• ”THE KID” got a divorce and his mom -- having a large clue about the emotional roller coaster he's currently riding -- worries, worries, worries about him constantly.
-No. He doesn’t call very often.
-Yes. I understand that it’s none of my business.
-No. It doesn’t stop me from being concerned while keeping my mouth firmly shut.
-Yes. He is a devoted dad and hangs out with his children frequently. Thank GAWD.
-No. I am not angry with his ex. I love her.
• The price of gas is forcing me to seek employment. I believe I might find time to work between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on rainy Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Now if only I can find a dealer who sells Meth on one of those "90-days-to-pay" bases.........
• My insurance company kicked my doctor off their list of “preferred” physicians. Choices for a new doctor do not include anyone whose name I can pronounce. (I’m seriously thinking foreign conspiracy here........anybody with me on this?)
• The prices of groceries and kitty litter have risen beyond zebra. See bullet about price of gas above. So now I live on peanut butter and my cat is constipated.
• I looked out the kitchen window and spied approximately 47 Mexicans climbing around in two lovely old Toad Hall Oak Trees and one stinky Toad Hall Ginko Tree. Somewhut alarmed, I dashed outside to ask “WHY?” Seems the power company sent them to trim limbs away from the lines.
After I pointed out that the trees were not even CLOSE to any live power lines, the Mexicans retreated. Still, I ponder: Whut if I hadn’t been HOME? Hay-suse! I’d have naked trees!
• That old damnable bastard -- Arthur Itis -- is causing my thumbs to scream with pain this summer. And not be able to open important things like JIF and Chapstick.
• My face continues relentlessly to slide off my skull as I age. But if I paint all my mirrors black, I won't be able to tweeze those silly little eyebrow hairs that keep wandering down to my chin.
By now you are probably thinking, "Holy Shidt! Isn't there any GOOD news from Toad Hall?"
Well, it just so happens that there is! At the psychological age of 116, I still have all of my very own teeth.
See?
