I'd kill for a few retcon pills.

Heh. Maybe you already have....

I was just reading a story which had a story within it that went something like:

And the genie said the young man 'And now you have one wish left.'
'But I don't remember anything. I wish to have my memory back,' the young man said.
'That was your first wish too,' said the genie sadly.

Teppy, my mom is the same way. Even when I do answer, she will even say "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" With those questions, I usually say "I was out in the yard." Even if it is evening, I could say, "taking out recyclables" or something. She buys that. And then what JZ said. "So what's up with YOU?"

My mother is really good about "You don't want to know."

Because, she knows if I say it, she really doesn't.

This is where not having a land line comes in handy too - "My phone was in my purse and I didn't hear it ring."

'That was your first wish too,' said the genie sadly.

There are so many sad genie stories....

Oh for the love of ...

I think I've lost the combinations for the locks I have to open tomorrow morning to move tenants back in to their units. And the locks I chose? Can't be cut open. I chose them for that specific purpose since the PODS units aren't in a great neighborhood. And it appears that maybe they can't be reset or opened unless you have the combination.

Good Lord, I'm a hot mess.

Most of the time people don't ask. but we they do -- an obligation ( in other words the repeat the message).

As for dad-- Just tell him you are an adult and you moved out. and that there are things in you life he doesn't want to hear about and if he persists -- give him great details about vacuuming dog hair or pulling cats off the drapes or cleaning dog poop or ironing or something dull like that . Skip the sex -- stick with the boring

I skipped about 1000 posts recently, but I'm curious what's P-C's brother's news was? (I'm guessing the GF is moving in or getting married or something?)

In my own race adventures, I had a friend visiting from DC this weekend. He has his own life with his boyfriend out east, but he is Mexican and came back for a quinceanera party for a cousin. His family was so warm and welcoming. They were happy with my so-so Spanish and passed me plates of shrimp/crab ceviche, tortillas, pork and chiles.

It was so amazing because they are totally accepting of my friend's being gay and they were so accepting of me. It was just this awesome and unexpected experience where I met people who were so humble and welcoming.

The GF = White Devil.
