"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

As long as it doesn't look like a tooth, right?

I think of that so often! "It was white and square, and looked like a tooth, but it wasn't a tooth... so I ate it!"

Today was kind of a WTF day at work starting with what I think is peak white lady privelage on display. Woman comes in and says she wants a refund. On slippers she has no receipt, no tag, no idea when she bought it or how much she paid for it. But she paid with her store card so we should be able to look it up right ? She asked. Overall she was ok with it but she said she takes the tags off things as soon as she gets home and throws away her receipts.

We moved him into college on Saturday. I don't know how we got from tooth eating to studying mechanical and aerospace engineering.

That's dual privilege at work -- white lady and dumbass. Who buys slippers or shoes without trying them on?

Holy cow!!!

That sentence was so worth reading.

The first thing that came to mind when I heard about Burt Reynolds was his black comedy, The End. And then Best Friends, with Goldie Hawn, which I loved beyond reason. And Evening Shade! I had forgotten all about that.

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Riding in the car with my sister and her 8 year old grandson a couple days ago there were a number of turkeys walking along the side of the road. Cooper pipes up with his vast knowledge from nature shows concerning the turkey's inability to fly. Sister and I both instantly quoted that in unison, then laughed at the impossibility of the kid to ever understand why.

Best wishes for a wonderful college experience. I shake my head in disbelief while understanding that mine are full grown men now. How does that happen so quickly?

Zen, I never know what to say about your Viking war wound. I've been making all the empathy and sympathy faces at the screen, but I don't know how to type them at you. I hope the painkillers give you relief and that the surgeon can fix you good, fast, and right.

Skipped and skimmed but wanted to point and nod at this.

Thanks for sharing that sweet story about Burt Reynolds. I admire those people skills.

I'm old enough to remember when he posed for a beefcake centerfold with his hairy pelt and big delighted grin.

There was a big poster of that picture in my first post-college house, and we used it in the winter to block the fireplace.
