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 try to feed the community cats around here once in a while but they're skittish. I have to put the food out and leave it. The squirrels don't eat oranges or clementines, but they love the pears off the pear tree. The trash bandits seem to do fine on their own, I don't see many of them.
For a city suburb, there's a bit of small fauna all around here. I think the rabbits have been mostly gobbled up by the cats, though.
I met a girl who sang the blues
but she just smiled and turned away...
One morning we woke up to our two female cats at the top of the stairs in shear panic..... ok, what did Charley bring home now. We slowly crept into the kitchen and sure enough there was the largest racoon that I ever seen just munching away at the dry cat food. What in the world !! CHARLEY !!
And Ali,the possum really isn't bad cuz hes always grateful for his food and he's kind enough not to bite me.That's all,but I'd sure never try to pat him or get close-r than I already am.He's pretty ugly....Hope all you Brats out there are having a good Saturday~~~
The number five refers to this item's place in today's list of "Twenty Very British Problems" in my newspaper.
Well, now. For one thing, I don't consider the above a problem, I consider it a solution. And for another it is a British characteristic that being told what is "Very British" tends to make us tut and fidget.
But that one is true. And so are:
2. Suddenly remembering your tea and necking it like a massive, lukewarm shot.
7. Concentrating so hard on the appropriate eye-contact-to-looking-away ratio that you have no idea what's being said to you.
8. The horror: "I thought it might be nice to go round the room and say a bit about ourselves."
10. Saying "honestly, it's fine" to warn of your imminent meltdown.
12. "A bit of a pickle" - Translation: A catastrophically bad situation with potentially fatal consequences.
14. "I might join you later" - Translation: I'm not leaving the house today unless it's on fire.
15. Worrying you've accidentally packed three kilos of cocaine and a dead goat as you stroll through "nothing to declare." [I don't know why that's so, but it is]
17. Watching with quiet sorrow as you receive a different haircut to the one you requested.
I love Billy Joel - should have had that
A bottle of red - a bottle of white
So funny, made my day.
Also, missing Jude on here, she was also very good at sharing that kind of humor.
Where did ya go, Jude?
Cwillie,
I am sure that I am ignorant about the differences between Brits and Canadians, but I love all of you! Intelligence, wit, humor, and polite.
Since the dining room is still closed the faux wood ceiling beam installation the couch and chairs have been taken out of the tv room to make room for dining which is not very comfortable
Just mom and her least favorite male companion were still up - she waiting for me and he slumped over with his head in a peanut butter sandwich
Since her parents ran a boarding house she believes she owns the place and this man hasn't paid his rent and she's giving him to next weekend to move out - hmmm
Next her other least favorite male companion wanders out and sits in front of us blocking the view to the tv - she loudly says she doesn't like him - he asked for a larger room but didn't want to pay more rent and now thinks he can take over the whole house - hmmmmm
Male #2 is restless and although he's eyeing male #1 pb&j sandwich can't quite figure out how to get it away from him so he goes over to the piano - a relic with missing keys - lifts open the lid which sends the fall pumpkin display onto the floor and really infuriates mom
I tell her he's a musician and he and his wife play together to which she chuckles - I bet they do play with each other 😂
Stephen Mangan, the actor and comedian, musing on the subject said: "I bet if you were to walk down Oxford Street in the rush hour pushing people in the back you would hear 'sorry' 'sorry' 'sorry' 'sorry' the entire length of the pavement." Then he paused for a beat and added: "Actually, I might try that..."
That entire first paragraph just happened this morning in my kitchen! omg.
The conversation included: "Where did you get this new "I'm sorry" insincere behavior, at work? What are you apologizing for? Stop it, it is freaking me out.
Neither of us did anything wrong, stop apologizing! Yes, employees at work are apologizing, after employer abuses! Maybe I have to rescue him outta there?
Thankfully, the coffee was good! He's at work now...
Is he gonna be ok, Jinglebts?
How old IS Charley?
Take out the papers and the trash,or you don't get no spendin'cash........
Do people even use Coasters anymore?
Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you!
Enjoy!
Coasters? Do you mean roller coasters?
Coasters to put under your coffee cup to protect your fine furniture?
Coasters that advertise at places like Chilie's, tell you about the bloomin onions, or their beers, you take them home and years later they have never been used, there is a small collection of coasters amongst the hoarded items you keep.
Or the behaviors of many teens in school, that party on, get good grades by hust coasting-those "coasters"??
Some homes have a two story family room with a railing along the second floor at the back of the family room. Lot of people place their sofas where from the second floor you can look down onto the sofa. Well, Charley thought it would be a short cut if he jumped on the railing and sailed down onto the sofa... sig other was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone when Charley landed next to him in a big thud. I won't repeat what sig had said :P
The list goes on and on.
