How about this one? Would that scare the neighbors?
Yes, I will soon be a señor citizen. I thought I was getting a discount if I spoke Spanish. Tracey, you cannot possibly be that old. "Hey you kids, do you know who the Beatles are? They are groovy! And get off my lawn before I notify the authorities! Don't touch my LeBaron, I just had it detailed." Last year a kid at the high school called me sir. He said he had to respect his elders. Oh thanks a bunch junior.
What happened? I missed it. Lol
Can't decide on what to do for my 60th. Dinner is obvious. I really love dirt bikes but there's no where to ride anymore. I want to play softball again but the local "friendly" league is just a bunch of bitter old men. Last time I switched my shoelace to fuchsia and one of the fat guys on the team wouldn't sit next to me anymore like he was going to get AIDS. I haven't had a good camera in a long time. I have lots of Nikon lenses, a $300 flash and a Manfrotto tripod. I think the best thing I could do for both of us is get another dog. I know we should get a rescue but once you've had a Border Collie there's no going back. I don't want some stupid yapping mutt that goes after the cats. So mine's May 28th. I know yours is close, come on Tracey, spill! I'll send you some of my famous cookies and a talking card. When are you going to be a Grandma? You know, the Lazy Boy with a Siamese cat on your lap, a walker next to you. Do they still call old age homes Lodges in Alberta? Are you into bingo yet. I had a hard time explaining to CJ how big bingo was there until we drove in from the airport. Under the B, 9! Like your tumour is benign. This American spell check is making me nuts! It's colour, NOT color. And we wear pyjamas, NOT pajamas! Sheesh!!!
So you like English spelling, great!
May 24th...no grandkids ... I would take a girlfriend at this point. He is too into his computer.
Say what? A girlfriend like a guy's fantasy or just a new friend. You can send me pics if it's the former, if it's the other all you get is good luck. CJ stares at this thing way too long, I can see one eye closed and her head bobbing. I'm currently staring at my PVR, the one I'm not supposed to take apart. I want to save stuff on the hard drive. Stupid cable company!
My wife is Scottish/Irish. Her Mom packed parachutes for Lancaster crews in the war. Like they always say, if it doesn't work bring it straight back. Cynthia has that Irish fire in her eyes, no words needed. Her Dad's name was Peter and when we were looking for houses the company presidents name was Peter and the neighborhood had a Scottish name, we bought this house before it was a hole in the ground.
I should look so good as Sir Paul at his age, very sad about Linda. My confession? When there was only AM top 30 radio I liked ABBA (not my favourite though) and I thought the brunette was better looking than the blonde. This is the story I heard. She has some Norwegian in her family and she refused to join the other 3 for some 30 or 35 year anniversary. The rumour was her Mother (Grandmother maybe) had an affair with a German soldier and this was supposed to be a bad thing. Oh big deal, she wasn't a collaborator, she fell for a guy in uniform. Remember, not every German soldier was a Nazi, they were all drafted and most were just fighting for their country. I also had a thing for Nicolette Larson, Juice Newton and Carlene Carter. I was very young.
The computer can't hold your hand for the first time or touch the side of your face. This is the "Information Superhighway?" Now High School girls are being compared to what the boys see on their phones. The school across the street banned all phones and pads 5 years ago. The girls all wore uniforms, the Catholic pleated skirts that they kept hiking up. One day the board had enough, pants for everyone, end of story.
Yes, seeing the footage on facebook etc., while it was happening was very scary.
JFK, too.
I read somewhere that in remote parts of Australia the houses have metal roofs and a sprinkler system on the roof, kind of like a Rainbird, that can be turned on remotely by the fire department. It's just for embers, all they take is a mist to put out, not a burning house. So no one is stupid enough to have cedar shake roofs and if you keep the underbrush clear the house stands a better chance in a fire. Pretty clever. I always wanted a metal roof but a contractor told me rain makes a gawd awful noise and hail will make it look like a pizza. It's not hard to build houses that withstand wind and fire, they just have to not be so stubborn and stop building them the same way for the last 100 years. Our semi has a concrete wall from the basement to the roofline and it's pretty soundproof. To test it I played the launch scene from Apollo 13 LOUD ENOUGH to shake the tiles in the laundry room and our neighbor never heard a thing. Semis here and duplexes there are two different things. When I was a kid only white trash lived in duplexes, probably because they were so cheaply made. And all those condo complexes in Mill Woods and Castle Downs, they just don't build them here. It was like a different planet when I moved here. And the HEAT and HUMIDITY, holy cripes almighty! I thought I was going to melt. You can't buy a car here without AC but no one knows what "Plugging in your car means" and no one has booster cables.
