Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
I'm working on my new apartment but I'm taking a break and eating fried chicken. Yum! I don't splurge too often on fried chicken. It's tasty but so fattening. Hot dogs are my far and away my favorite "bad food" treat.
We could put Crème De Menthe over vanilla ice cream tonight or maybe Crème De Cocoa...That'd be good.....
Thanks Cwillie, so generous of you!
Not much of a party person myself tonight, but thanks everyone for showing up.
MsMadge, we will have to ask Luckylu to make the brownies next time-she knows how to bake! But I do acknowledge about the funny-I have never had them.
Goodnight, now it can be a pyjamma partee, so once again, put your jammies on.
The beer?
The hockey team?
Had an interview this afternoon for an audio tech manufacturing company. I'd like the job. It doesn't pay great but audio tech was my major in college and I like the industry. I think the interview went ok. It wasn't outstanding. It's been a tough day in a lot of ways... but the CUBS WON... and so I'm happy. :-D
One of those #$%*&@ Microsoft scammers called my cell phone with a number to call back... These are those groups from, shall we say, overseas, who call and tell you there's something wrong with your computer, or they need to give you a Microsoft update/refund/whatever crappy excuse they can come up with to get you to call them back. Then they either get access to your computer, bank account (to wire you the refund, of course!) or whatever info they can pry from you. They prey on the elderly and the uninformed, and they're terrible!
Anyhow, I called the number back, cuz I'm pissed that they somehow got my cell number, and just to mess with them and tell them I don't appreciate that they're scammers. (They immediately start cussing at you when you confront them, by the way. I don't think Microsoft does that, lol...)
But, as I hung up, I had the thought, maybe I should let them talk to my father-in-law with dementia? There's no danger, he doesn't have access to his computer or any money to give them, but he HATES solicitors. I mean, hates them with a passion. Yells at anyone who calls. Just the THOUGHT of those scammers having to deal with my FIL makes me smile: Who's calling?!? What do you want??!! WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME??? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE CALLING ME!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET MY NUMBER??!!!!
LOL!! Now obviously, I'm NOT going to let FIL talk to them, because it would honestly be mean to get him riled up like that. But, oh the thought.... ;)
He answers: "Christina P, they just gave her name at the start!"
I answer, "I can't remember back that far".
He answers: "It was just now up on the screen!"
I answer, "I can't see that good anymore"
You woulda have had to been here, still laughing!
Congrats on the win, and on feeling better.
See the cubbies in LA Saturday
After all, they are playing in my home town area...
GO DODGERS!
MsMadge,
Were you doubting my loyalty? Dodger-dogs are best!
"MapleLeafs (Canadian Hockey team) fans finish singing the U.S. National Anthem after technical difficulties...)."
Apparently, not the only time this has happened at sports events. I am in awe!
Opposing team sings out our national anthem....while our players take a knee.
I like joining in the French one before rugby matches - especially the last line, about 'we will march until their foul blood overflows our gutters.' Charming!

Sunday here was nice and restful.
Have a better week caregivers.
Caregivers are people too, right?
