Things have been super crazy busy at the house. Crystal quit her job, then her brother passed away, then there was about 4-5 days of her family from Texas and a funeral, my mom's birthday, and me still working everyday. WHEW!! Things are not so busy now. It's time to get back in the saddle and get to rolling on with normal.... well.... at least normal life for us.
I have had a few things stuck in my brain.
1) Does anyone else out there agree that there is a GREAT need for a sarcasm font?
2) Why do people ask if they can ask you a question? "Can I ask you a question?" What do you say to that? NO isn't sufficient because they already dropped one on you.
3) Why do car manufacturers charge you to put in stuff you don't want or will never use like blinkers and seat belt reminders?
4) Can Mondays be half days from now on to ease us back into the work week?
5) Why not make pot legal? Good people get fired all the time for failing a drug test, yet some places you can legally buy it on the street. Make it legal and tax it and make the world a better place. Well, maybe not better but it would make a lot of people happier. I'm not a smoker myself so don't assume I have an extreme opinion on the situation it just makes sense to me.

I'm calling Bill Gates right now - he must get on that sarcasm font stat!
....and that ain't sarcasm!
Hold the phone! Crystal quit her job? Does she have another one???? I got ass-raped when she announced it on that other fella's blog. People said it was all "metaphorical" for something else and such. What's the real 4-1-1??
Either way, you have my condolences. It's hard to be the spouse.
Well I hope things work out with crystal unemployed.
and as far as the "can I ask you a question?" Question. I always respond with "I don't know, are you capable of asking a question properly? Or are you just going to be rude and assume it's okay and ask anyway?"
I've said this enough to my kids that they know, and when they say "can I?" and we ignore them they correct it with "May I?"
1. Surrrrre we need a sarcasm font. Right. :-)
2. I always say, "you just did."
3. They have to put the blinkers in for those of us who actually follow the rules. As a motorcyclist, I really appreciate the blinkers, but a lady almost hit me this morning because she SAID (w/ her blinker) that she was turning, but she changed her mind at the last second. Good thing I waited.
4. Mondays will continue to be 24 hours long. Actually, Monday is my day off, so HANDS OFF!
5. Who are you, a lobbyist for Doritos? Totinos? Fess up.
Speaking of #2 (question?), the phrase I hate the most is "I'm just gonna go ahead and..." It is a totally useless phrase. You hear it on cooking shows, infomercials, etc. Tell me, what's the difference between these two sentences:
1. Now I'm going to put it in the oven.
2. Now I'm just going to go ahead and put it in the oven.
AAarrrrgghhh!
1. Yes.
2. "You slready have."
3. Because they can. And they will charge you extra to NOT put in features that you don't want. Madness.
4. Sure. Tell 'em I said it was OK.
5. Here, here. It would free up prison space for epeople who ectually need to be there, too.
I'm sorry for your family's loss...
Shade and Sweetwater,

Looks like you aren't the only one wanting a sarcastic font.

umm...
1. a sarcasm font would be great, so 'friends' wouldn't think you're saying the 'wrong thing' in a conversation.
2. When someone says that to me, I usually tune out for the next few minutes...must be an unconscious thing (yeah right)
3. because they can, even though everyone thinks they shouldn't
4. I vote for paid Monday's off to ease us back into the work/school week. Every Monday, every week...that's gonna be my campaign motto when I run for president in 20 years...
5. I vote for making it legal. I don't use, but it would be nice for people in pain to be able to have access to it without being afraid they're going to get arrested!
OK, those are my two cents, anyone who has read may now remit payment via my paypal account...
(and we're back to #1)
Little Ol Liz,
Yes, I quit my job. No, I'm not planning on staying home and saying 'fuck it'. That was the part that people didn't get, the metaphorical, "I'm going to the park" part. I was getting reamed for even thinking of staying home.
I start my new job on Monday.
Hi, my name is Janet - Long time lurker. I agree with legalizing pot. Give it the same rules as Alcohol and tax the poop out of it. My hubby is a cop and he agrees. Just makes sense and would free up mega jail space.
Thanks Crystal -- you ring in clear as a bell.
I hope your new job is everything you want it to be. Let us know.
the answer to number three is (and always should be), "I answer one question per person per day; you just used yours up."
The long time argument between my friend April & I has always been the value of asking before asking a question. It bugs the hell outta me & she says it shows respect. Nah, just a flipping waste & aggravating.
I'm chuckling over the car manufacturers ponderings. Very funny!
Mondays = rotten. I say that I as I barely survived yet another one today.
