Mite my eyesight be failin' me .. or, what ?

LOLOLand ;)

acronyms of common English words?

Indeed, Terrie, your comment was complimentary to the person, but did not "opine" either way toward the matter of the style. You truly are a diplomat! (That's a compliment)

I have not been into internet communication until now, so thanks for the explanation of the abbreviations, Ulrich. I may be a little slow sometimes, but it didn't take me too long to realize that all of you aren't married to designated hitters. (That' a joke)

I wish I was, then maybe he'd hit the trash can, the laundry basket and possibly even the potty every once in a while ROFL

You're so funny nap!

Rachel

Tell me about it!

My vote is with Ulrich for Feb. 29th being the date for dialect in posts!

Sorry te be telling ya but that day already taken...
Sadie Mae lol.

It's our wedding anniversary, too. Maybe we'll speak in vows that day. ;)

folks like to get on the internet and blame someone for every thing that happens.Only thing is, the blamers tend to out number the blamors tend to outnumber the blamees. when the balmee of the first part rebels and becomes the blamor of the second part the original first blamor rebels. then said blamor turned blamee seeks (and usually finds) and new blamee. The participants in this activivity apparently have a higher than normal level of fluid intake, as some rather spectacular urinating displays seems to have been going on here. This hasprompted me to develope what i hope is a remedy, or at least a form of relief for the situation.So, it is with great pride that i announce my latest adventure .Puldeau's scapegoat service.

Gee whiz! I thought many Americans already had someone in the highest office possible blamed for everything!

What is a Metropolitan?

Is it a Cosmopolitan with extra lime?

Its a subway line in London :>))

cool what is a "London"?

I think its a gin, but I could be wrong!! Now whats a British Warm?

An army officer's overcoat.

I guess I missed it. What are we blaming someone for?

I get blamed when only one sock comes out of the drier and I had put in two, but most of the time they are stuck up in a sweatshirt somewhere. So I guess in a roundabout way, it is my fault and I should check the sweatshirts more carefully. But I don't and I probably never will and the orphan socks piled on my dresser remains constant.

Once in awhile I get lucky and a lost sock will fall out of the sweatshirt onto the closet floor. Or someone will stick their arm out through a shirt and launch a lost sock into the air. This doesn't happen very often though. It's just like winning the lottery.

Then there is the spooky subject of socks that NEVER show up anywhere and I can only assume that the drier ate them. Having a drier that makes things disappear scares me a little, but I admit to having entertained thoughts of seeing what the drier could do about my mother. Or me for that matter. :-)

How's that for a morning mind wander? (This is what too much cold medicine does to you, folks.)

Indashade thank you for the laugh today I too have a drier that "eats" socks and often wonder where are they???
Then after time just throw away the stack of single socks and the saga continues
Thanks LOL

It was a tree limb tha day we returned home from hurricane Rita.
It said pull, never push. Most likely her glasses saved her eye.

Tha hurricane did sock it to us somewhat.
Many others had it worse.

Many years back, I was a bartender at a local restaurant. The head waitress was a woman named Pearl. She was a wisp of a woman with blond hair... really quite pretty....and intelligent. On the job, however, she had this 'persona', and she was always in character. She played a blond ditz.

Each morning she came to work with new pins on her apron... one on the front, and one under the hem. The top one was 'family friendly' and the underside one was saved for those who she knew would not be offended. (One even read "Please be brief, I have diarrhea"). As you can imagine, public opinion was divided concerning how 'beloved' Pearl was, but most of us genuinely loved her.

However, (isn't there always a 'however'!) her persona loved to rename all the varieties of beer. As the bartender, I was expected to guess which beer she was referring to. It was similar to solving a riddle, I guess. Unfortunately, she played the same game with me whether I had two customers or 200, and I have to say, there were times I could have whacked my beloved Pearl over the noggin with a bar tray!

Since then, I've looked back and realized I've probably evoked the same response from people with some of my own foolishness over the years. I guess one person's delight is another person's irritation. If you're a person who likes to spread a little humor, you're bound to harvest both delight and irritation.

Magpye, I've always enjoyed your posts. I sometimes have to read them out loud phonetically to understand them (my husband thinks I've slipped a cog). Even so, I have to admit, your posts here, out of persona, are really refreshing, too. I'm looking forward to seeing both when I check DG each morning. Seeing your posts always gives me a morning smile... and I promise not to hit you over the head with a bar tray!
