We have let ourselves in your house for ALL kinds of reasons that benefit you over the past 30+ years. I was so glad when you retired so that my part-time job getting packages off your porch was over, too. The one time dh asks to borrow milk when you aren’t home you ignore our texts. Well, you answered the first text about whether you were home; you ignored the next one where we ask to grab a half-cup milk for Sunday pancakes. We will continue to be neighborly toward you and help out because that’s what neighbors do, even if you don’t.
DW and I were invited to join a culinary group that meets once a month and everyone brings a dish based on that month’s theme. They’re all great chefs and we’re imposters.
But it’s going well and it’s inspiring us to broaden our culinary horizons.
This month we made a shrimp and scallop ceviche and a tres leches cake, which everyone loved.
We’re enjoying the great food and the friendships in the group but the best part is working side by side with my wife as we experiment with new recipes.
Attempting to arrange my next visit so I don’t have to call you out on your antisemitism again. You either came to understand how prejudiced your comments were or you didn’t. I tried.
Ok oil change company. I took my pickup in to get an oil change Saturday. They quoted me 89.95. More than I wanted to pay but I wanted to get it done. Then proceeded to tell me the cost would be $209. !! How. It seems my truck took more than 5 quarts of oil and that kicked it into a different price category. I told them NO. I own a pickup truck not the Queen Mary. At the most it would be another quart and $120 for a quart of oil is excessive no matter the situation. You then had the guts (if you want to call it that) to send me a text asking for a Google review. If I choose to do it it may not be what you are looking for.
How is it that every year kids who were smart enough to get WL at tippy top uber-selective schools fail to read and understand how the WL actually works?
Dear bicyclists, I realize that stopping and starting is a pain in the rump for you, but you are a vehicle and subject to traffic laws. You are not entitled to run through stop signs, and even red lights, just because you are on a bike. And yes, the car driver who sounds his horn as he stands on his brakes to avoid hitting you is in the right. Your behavior is not only discourteous, but it will get you killed someday.
It makes me sad when my niece posts things about society not accepting her special needs son (well, special needs kids in general). I accept him, as do my H & kids. But my niece only allows a few select people around him, because she’s worried he will get sick and die. We have not seen him since the start of Covid. Like I said, it makes me sad.
Dude…my kid’s freshman college classes are, at max, 30 students per class. Even the science classes…and I don’t mean just the labs. 26 students in 1 lecture session, 25 in another. So glad she picked this school.
I used to love it here, no matter how much teasing or raised eyebrows I would get. I planned to stay here forever, no matter how it negatively impacted my pocketbook. I was one of those “Come hell or high water, I am staying,” people.
Well, over the last few years I started to see the smoke in the distance, and then some flames on the horizon. Far too often I hear more news that indicates that the blaze is getting hotter. The fires are coming closer and closer and I can see that this place is somewhere in Hades, and I’m not thinking Elysian Fields. It turned out that I might stay in the underworld for a while, but I definitely won’t be planning to stay forever. What makes me so sad is that it didn’t have to be this way, and even sadder is that I don’t think the changes that need to be made will ever happen.
Wow, it looks like I will be going to Warsaw to meet my son’s Syrian in-laws!! And my son said he’d go to Auschwitz with me. I never thought I’d have the chance to tour it. Since my husband probably lost relatives there (he had Jewish family who got out of eastern Europe in the early 1900s), he says he could probably not stand to go there.
