Remind me again, Why do I have a cat?
Better yet, why do I have THIS cat?
So now it’s late Sunday morning. I’m in the middle of small town America, somewhere in the Texas panhandle. After the sleepless night at WalMart and a second long day on small, bumpy country roads, I have made it only as far as Crosbyton, Texas.
But, wait! There's more...Yeah. Let me tell you about that “help”. That “help” comes in the form of unsolicited advice. I’ve been guilty of this, too. And, Heaven forbid, you don’t take their advice. Holy Overbearing Control-freak Shit Storm, Batman!
But, wait! There's more...You all know that saying “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink”.
You can show someone a better way of life, but sometimes they’d rather stick to their old ways – no matter how much they’ve lost because of those old patterns of behavior.
If you’ve never been affected by someone else’s alcoholism or drug addiction, or you never had a alcohol or drug problem of your own, you are very fortunate. It is heartbreaking to see someone you care about return to drinking or drugs, simultaneously losing everything important in life. The wanton self-destruction of a loved one is to much to bare. Sadly, I’ve seen this happen several times to people I care about. It never gets any easier.
But, wait! There's more...I have the memory of a goldfish… Once around the bowl and I think, “Oooh, that rock is new!” Yup. This can be both good and bad. (Current mood: Reflective, wistful.) The Bad?, or Things I Don’t Remember… I probably can’t tell you what I had for breakfast today without … But, wait! There’s more…
Remember I posted how when they say “Everything is bigger in Texas” they mean the rain? And the hail? Well, I’ve since found out they are also referring to the bugs. And the Texas-sized mosquitoes. The blood-sucking mosquitoes are huge, and persistent. One was trapped in my car yesterday. At … But, wait! There’s more…
Two things that need shootin’: Varmints in your RV, and Stalkers It’s been a week of things that need shootin’. (Note the dropped “g” – I’m already starting to sound like a Texan. Just know it happens very fast, people, very fast.) (A note for my new readers: Last summer … But, wait! There’s more…
I’ve been trying to come up with something to write, but all I’ve got is a list of random stuff that makes for better titles than posts. I couldn’t even come up with ten of them for a Ten Things Tuesday post. Huh. My life is in the shitter. My … But, wait! There’s more…
The oddness that was my week: First up… I work in a large office building with the standard Men’s and Women’s community bathrooms on each floor. Men’s, and Women’s. Two bathrooms. One for each sex. The other morning I grabbed the key and crossed the hallway to the Women’s room. … But, wait! There’s more…
My sister, Chickenbone, once told me ‘Don’t bring sand to the beach.’
Me: ???
Chickenbone: If you’re single, don’t bring a date to a party.
Me: (still) ???
Chickebone: …where there are single men.
Me (a minute later): Ohhhh. (the light bulb isn’t always super bright, folks)
But, wait! There's more...…advice on Dating and Sex, not that I’m doing much dating either. Here are some reasons why…
No texting or calls during dates. I have to admit, I broke this rule a couple months ago. My date had gone to the bathroom, and, well I had good reason. Ok, that’s just a reason and not an excuse. He came back before I finished, and I made a lame apology and then stopped. The point is it’s disrespectful.
Sexting – When is it appropriate. It’s an exciting way
