tubs

Thank you Lowe's plastic tubs.. for being suctioned together so tightly that when I finally pulled one up I fell backwards knocking over the 2 stacks behind me, which knocked over the 2 stacks & lids behind them. I pretty much took out the floor display. #SeemsImNoLongerWelcomeThere

good car

Like a bone for a dog I treated my car to a full service wash after carrying us safely back & forth from New Orleans. Clearly, I need to get another pet before I start thanking my faucet for water. #DatsAGoooodSink

I'm a better door than a window

No matter where I stand or sit I'm always in someone's way. I'd be an awesome bodyguard. Bullets would not only find me first but there is more of me to go thru. #WhatABargain!

holiday scandal

The North Pole has just announced Santa Claus has been fired after allegations of sexual assault on 3 female elves, 1 reindeer, 2 snow angels, & the Bumble Snow Monster. Mrs. Claus has hired Hanukkah Harry to fill in until a full time replacement can be named. More on this story as it develops.

one of those days

A bad day is dropping the bread you just smeared w/ peanut butter face down on the counter. A worse day is, while cleaning up said mess, knocking the large peanut butter jar off the counter and onto your foot. #ForStreetFightingWeaponsChooseyMomsChooseJIF

cell coma

My phone suddenly went dark this morning. I furiously pressed & repressed the power button like I was taught in CPR training & screamed "Don't You Die On Me Dammit!!" #ThePatientSurvived

most important meal of the day

Kellogg's & Post say that sales of Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, & Cherrios are dangerously low because millennials are not buying them. I knew it.. we've raised a whole generation of cereal killers.

stargames

Yesterday in the "Heavenly Battle of the Network Stars": the heavyweight comedy team of John Candy, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Oliver Hardy, & Jackie Gleason continued to dominate winning the tug of war & pie eating contest. But today's potatoe sack race & triathlon, might prove a challenge. Stay tuned

ups and downs


In the last 24 hrs I dropped/shattered my phone screen, hiccupped diet mountian dew out of my nose, woke up with toothpaste in my eyebrow, AND had my neurologist tell me my MG is in remission. Today is a GOOD day

clock key

Drove 15min to a clock place to buy a winding key to find the place empty. Called 3 others in Google & they were disconnected or moved. Seems time is running out for clock techs. They are all winding down into retirement.

glare

Despite the glare during my morning commute I never get around to wiping the film off more than a circle of my windshield. Lazyness:1 Self-Preservation:0

white paint black cloud

My meds sometimes make me dizzy. I was painting my guest room ceiling today when the room started to spin, I stumbled off the stepladder, stepped directly into the full bucket of paint and knocked it over

We all wanted to grow up to an be like the heros we watched on screen. My hero was Uncle Buck. #ExplainsALot

cracked

I was just in a room being questioned by a guy at a table in front of a large 2 way mirror and camera. Eventually I cracked started to confess my crimes until he reminded me it was just a marketing survey for insulin brands.

opposing sides

My primary doc says steriods are messing with my diabetes. My neurologist says I need the steroids to deal w/ my MG. #TornBetweenTwoDoctorsFeelinLikeAFool

You know that step & handle the trashguy rides on the back of the truck? They should put those on city buses & only charge half fare.

soundtrack

I dreamed that I won a contest where the John Williams Orchestra performed a musical soundtrack to everything I did, however mundane, for a week. It got annoying after awhile but I did enjoy the jaws theme every time I made toast.

chains

This morning I pulled up next to a Prison Transfer Van and locked eyes w/ the guy in back. Instead of wondering if he was innocent or dangerous all I could think was that orange looked good on him.

QT: the only safe spot

Why is it that online, politically, racially, internationally we all seem to hate each other but EVERYONE still holds the door for the next person at Quick Trip? Why are gas stations the only harmonious places left on the planet?

mowing

"This riding mower is easy now that I have the hang of it." I thought proudly mere seconds before running over the wood retaining wall and crashing up into the garden area.

ahhhhhhh.. ahhhh.. chooo

Dear Windshield: One hand is on the wheel and the other has my phone to my ear. I feel 1-3 uncontrolled sneezes coming. This is not going to end well for you. #MyApologies

Fight!


Did you hear?! The dotard and the rocket man are gonna fight by the flagpole at 3:30. The dotard fights dirty but the rocket man is bringing an anti-aircraft gun. Everybodys gonna be there. Should be good.

After a week of high heat & humidity I have officially transformed into a garden slug.

recess

Playground merry-go-round was really just a pitching machine that shot out children. Best spot to be was on the outside spinning the tortured souls trying to hold down their lunch.

Bike is in the shop, shoelace broke on my sneaker, & my knee is acting up. There is no better way to enjoy a beautiful day than to NOT feel the need to exercise in it. 😎🌞#SlothIsGoodSlothIsRight

Do the annoying/ass-hole parts of our personality go w/ us when we die? If so I'm in trouble because I dreamed I went to Heaven but God kept putting me in time-out.

carefully

I leave Walmart w/ eggs in one bag and fragile glass in the other. A flock of kids run around me, I stumble in the parking lot, and then slam the brakes at a light but make it back to work intact. Relieved & proud, I drop the 2 bags onto my desk. #shit

6 keys on my keychain: 4 I use, 1 I never use, & 1 I think goes to a lock in a now demolished building. But since I'm not sure it will stay on there forever.

cake


I should not have to dress up, buy a gift, sit thru a ceremony, a rubbery chicken breast, and 2 long boring toasts just to get a slice of Wedding Cake. Its time this item became a standard dessert option. #MarriageSchmarriageJustGiveMeTheDamnCake

twice

Feeling especially bad for the people who moved to Houston after being displaced by Katrina in 05. If they can prove they were victims of both ordeals I say they should get a Double Indemnity insurance payout.

The Roadrunner is not being chased by the coyote so much as he is trying, Forest Gump style, to outrun the pain of being rejected by his family for looking more like a ostrich/rooster mix than a real roadrunner. #FowlShaming #MommaWasABirdWhore #JustFeltLikeRunning

New reality show idea: a group of 20 somethings are put to work inside a late 70s office environment (with retired bosses & coworkers from that era) that allows smoking, sexual/verbal harrassment, manual typewriters, business formal dresscode, & gluten, w/ no smartphone, internet, tablet, or computers and see how long they survive.

just peachy

Think I cracked a tooth on some pit from the peach that smeared all over my shirt while I sat in traffic this morning. I was already sticky, broken, & late before even starting my work day.

USPS

At lunch I walked into a post office I hadn't been in since 1983 and literally nothing had changed. The guy at the counter had feathered hair & glasses and from the back I heard Every Breath You Take playing on a radio. Pretty sure I stepped back in time so I mailed my future self a postcard to invest in Apple stock and NOT buy those MC Hammer pants.

mow

Did my first cut w the new riding mower. I left bald spots, high spots, brown spots, green spots, and untouched turns and corners. I no longer have a yard, I have a topigraphical map.

stuff


After 60 years in the same place my parents accumulated a lot of stuff.

wake and walk

My body is telling me I need more excercise but making me walk off leg cramps in a pitch black house at 4am every morning is not a good way to express it. #NoOneLikesASmartAssBody

AquaFreshDefense

I'm brushing my teeth when a meatball sized spider crawled out of the drain so I spat toothpaste on him & rinsed him back down. If I smell something minty fresh crawling up my back I'll know it's about revenge.

cough cough

I'm trying to justify the idea of going home sick for the afternoon but all I can find wrong w/ me is a slightly sore back, a few sniffles, a hang nail, and some carrot stuck between my teeth. #NotEnough

pills

Currently taking a steroid w/ these side effects: Dizzness, rapid heartbeat, headaches, weight gain, urination issues, trouble breathing, problems speaking & thinking, vision impairment, skin problems, sweating, & trouble moving or walking. Its like an acid trip to advanced old age in just one pill

It was nothing (I hope)

Late last night my car was loaded with stuff from my parents house when a single paper item suddenly caught wind and flew out the window into the night. I don't know but I'm sure it was probably just a treasure map, lost will, original Warhol drawing, or some early Apple stock certificate.

fashion mistake

Just realized I'm wearing these drawstring shorts inside out. This is is either early senility or else I'm due a refund on that learning disability testing I passed back in 4rth grade.

sequal

After having his soup spiked with antifreeze Ferris really does need a new kidney but no one believes him so Slone sets out to find Cameron, now homeless, bitter, & psychotic after destroying his father's car, to donate his. Hilarity ensues in "Ferris Bueller's Actual Sick Day: Jeannie's Revenge"

I accidentally hit 2 hours instead of 2 minutes on the microwave. I just wanted to warm my sandwich but I've turned it into the hulk. #AnAccidentalOverdoseOfGammaRadiation

really??

So I'm at Walmart at lunch reaching for something on a shelf when this lady rams my cart w/ hers (seems mine was in the way & she was above saying "excuse me") causing my cart to roll out of the isle into a display an employee was working on. Despite my explanation I'm the one who got the dirty look & the lady continued to shop. When I passed her I expressed my feeling in sign language.

mowed down

Finished mowing so now I'm panting, dizzy, sweating, bleeding at the leg, bitten all over, exhausted, drained, and swearing I'll never go back out there. Is it possible to get post traumatic stress disorder from yard work?

The best plan to get me into a gym would have to involve a trail of little powder sugar donuts

I have an appointment for a teeth cleaning today but the way my black cloud is running I'm predicting they will mix up my chart, pull out my teeth, and fit me for dentures.

ooh that smell

How come the greasy butter popcorn smell sticks to my microwave like a fire alarm paint bomb for months but when I use Pledge on all my furniture I only smell lemon for 15 min?

At my check up today the nurse used some sort of a jedi thermometer on me where she just waived this stick past my forehead. She got my temp plus I realized these were not the droids I was looking for.

Dear Amazon: Please put the next package you send me inside of a Tampax Tampons box before you leave it on my doorstep. That way if someone steals it, atleast he'll look really stupid walking down the street with it. Thanks, DB
