Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bon bon and Bon-bobette made me buy frozen rhubarb. There was fresh rhubarb, which hardly ever happens, but if I was spending that amount of money per pound on something, it would be lobster. There was no chance of a pre-made pie.
The bagger put a 3-lb bag of potatoes, a 3-lb bag of apples, a 5-lb. bag of flour and a half gallon of milk in the same bag.
Timelies all!
Alas, I have no pie, nor do I have any plans to get pie today.
Going to see Peggy Seeger in concert tomorrow night. Otherwise, pretty quiet weekend.
I just had a driver tell me he did not know the order of the months. THEY CELEBRATE WILLFUL IGNORANCE. WHY MUST I WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!?
I really think I need to work at a lefty non-profit after this place. Planned Parenthood of Texas is sounding good.
Jesse got the right forecast. Rain of toads, indeed.
Dr. Google tells me that you can have "silent" gallbladder attacks. I suppose I'm going to have to call my doctor, but not until Monday.
I have Tylenol-3 left over from my toe, so I'm not too worried about a sudden increase in pain and consequential unplanned ER visit. After all, I can just give up eating until I see someone, right? (::crickets::)
I just had a driver tell me he did not know the order of the months.
Wait. What? How? Ok, don't answer. I'm just outraged and confused on your behalf. That driver needs to turn in his adult card.
Meanwhile, I need a cattle prod or taser or something for my son. Dude, we are moving tomorrow, we still have lots of crap that isn't in boxes or in the "put it in a car" pile. Get a move on.
How does he not know the order of the months? Like, is this a language barrier, or a learning disability?
Maybe he has to sing it softly to himself, like some people do with the alphabet?
How does he not know the order of the months?
Irrelevant to his life? "It's morning, I go drive the car. I know where all the streets and landmarks are. I drive all day, I go home, watch TV, sleep, get up and do it again. Every five days, if I'm lucky, I get a day off. In the summer, when the red white and blue decorations come out, it's time for the Fourth of July."
Strictly speaking, whether May comes before June or vice versa doesn't make a lot of impact on that kind of world.
Husband is visiting his family until Tuesday, so I'm kind of tempted to jaunt down to New Orleans.
Unless shrift wants to take a last-minute trip to Texas.
I mean you don't use 3/14 format.
For one day, I would use it for pie.
