I shit you not. The older guy just shuffled outside and is sitting in the car. He was that desperate to escape Mr. Blowhard.

Can you ask the server for a table in a quieter area?

Zen, they've gone now. And honestly? That was comedy gold. I just wish we'd had a tape recorder.

Most of my favorite childhood clothes came out of the "grow bag."

KT & ND. Order peas. See how high of an arc you can toss them in so they seem to come from nowhere and land on mr Talky's head.

Amy she's not just cute; she's seriously beautiful. I can't believe how big she is. Ooof.

Aw, thank you!

I was lucky enough to end up with the same shoe size as my grandmother. She had a tendency to find a pair of shoes that fit comfortably, buy every colour there was in that style, develop a bit of a pinch in her toes when she wore them and give the whole lot to me. All my best shoes came from her. The only downside is that now I have no idea what brands or makers or whatever to look for to replace the ones that I love but that are falling apart. Mmmm, shoes.

Gleepers.

Pierce Brosnan was a stone hottie back in the day! Pre-Remington Steele movie, "Taffin", he's got shaggy hair and tight jeans and I keep losing words and being unable to explain it to my hubbie.

Mmmmmm. Pierce Brosnan. I could use some of that.

Holy shit. Now that was fun.
