Mom

ok so i will be the first to admit it. i am like mom in more ways than id like to admit sometimes. when she was on one of her many visits to Hillcrest. somehow she, and one of her friends, got on the topic of coconuts. then she proceded to describe a movie, of which she does not know the title, the actors names, or the context of exactly how the coconuts fit into the seen. after discussing the scene with me and father, she felt a little embarassed but i assured her that it happens to all of us. "us" being any of her children.

    It's sad, I know, but I regularly tell people the 'big old jet and RHINO' story. It makes it so much more fun when I begin to describe how absolutely serious she was.

    I love the fact that I have so many stories of our mother, we could say I have a whole 'group' of them... "mom, it's GRIP, G R I P!!"

Nine Words

Remember the ‘lady’ who sent me her birthday wish list? She sent me a list of Nine words that women use.   I responded in italics.     Lets just say it didn't go over well... NINE WORDS WOMEN don't know how to USE… (1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. ~This is the goal of every argument.   Once "Fine!" is reached the man realizes that he has won and no further discussion is needed. "Right" is a relative term that women don't understand.... (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. ~Five minutes = Five minutes.   I refuse to accept any other reasoning.   If you need 30 minutes, tell us 30 minutes or better yet, tell us 43 minutes and we will be pleasantly surprised when you are actually finished in 50.   If men say fiv

To the whiney lady at the bar last week.

OK I get it; you’ve been waiting to place your order. I know that I have been helping the cocktail servers, dinner servers and the manager, ignoring you in the process. I apologize that I helped the person closest to me after making 15 drinks for a table in the restaurant, I was not aware that you arrived before he did. I understand that the other bartender has ignored you as well because he is stuck at the other end of the bar where 10 other people are shouting at him. I’m sorry it has taken me 5 minutes to get to you, even though the first thing out of your cake hole was “I’ve been waiting for 15 minutes and you helped that other….yadda yadda…” But…..if you are going to bitch and moan about me being busy and wasting your time on your friends birthday when it’s your turn to buy rounds, you had better make damn sure that you know what you want to when I ask. I even apologized to you while sliding that square paper napkin in that magical spinning fashion to rest just below your seco
