1) My older son went to High School and College with her. She's actually really nice and very hilarious. Becoming a meme was sort of an accident but she just rolled with it.
10) Someone gave my kids a concertina (a small accordian) when they were young. I finally took it upstairs and threw in the far corner of the attic till they grew up. Because of the line wrongly attributed to Norman Schwarzkopf "going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordian" every time anybody around here goes deer hunting I ask if they want to take it with them. They tell me it's an obscure reference but I enjoy it.
#1- One day a friend's wife organized their garage when he wasn't around. The organization included taking several hundred pounds of different bullet casting alloys, including raw lead, linotype, Lyman #2 ingots and a midgrade alloy and 'organizing' them together under the workbench. He knew what was where before she 'helped' him, but not afterwards. He ended up having to test every ingot to figure out what was what. Needless to say, my friend was somewhat peeved at his wife's organizational energy. It was after that he borrowed my letter stamps and marked each ingot on the back so it wouldn't happen again.
Ha. I gave up on dating & never have to fight for the covers, can fart wherever I want, can skip shaving for 3 or 4 days if I want, can go to the range anytime I feel like it, have a little extra $$, & so much more. Life is good.
Why wait to be single to do these actions ? You can do this when married and become a 'project' for others to try and improve those habits.
Especially the shaving part. I usually shave once a week (Sunday night) and only by the weekend do I appear a bit more 'street person' than normal. My facial hair does not grow as fast as others - takes about 3 days to achieve "5 o'clock shadow".
#1 is a flashback to a defense contractor I had to work with. Lucky for me, I wasn't the one who had to straighten that contractor out. A friend and colleague out of Hill AFB got that job.
#20 Duck that!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really ducked up thing to say.

I've read a couple articles about her. She seems to be a real sweetheart with a great sense of humor.

ReplyDeletePreach it, brother. The last thing I need at 65 is a woman running my life for me. I believe men are inherently loners while women aren't.
