@jverona77 From an old commercial; can’t even remember what they were trying to sell.
Coach: “There is no “I” in team.” Player: “Well, there ain’t no “we” either!”
Hate the first line, I really wish I had the nerve to say the second out loud.
@ChrissieRawrman Sweetheart occasionally, but never darlin’ or baby. Usually Mr. Ellis, or just Ellis…odd, but comes from his high school history teacher who for years wrongly called him that instead of Elliott. Inside joke, but it works for us.
@WizardSci Yep. Party A is 100% correct, and Party B is 100% blind/stupid/crazy. Or vice-versa. While it’s not the original intent of the language, that quote from Macbeth fits all too well. They are a “tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.” Wears me out.
@gavinthomas2015 Get behind the wheel, start the car, roll down the window and tell them I’ll be back later after they’re both done yanking my chain and drive off.
@EM_RESUS After 40 years as an RN that is absolute truth! Others: talking to their deity who happens to be somewhere in the room, or if they calmly tell you that they are fixing to die.
@RNSuperHero Years ago had another ER patient who was equally honest. He was obviously hammered, and non-English speaking. With our limited Spanish we asked, “Cuantos cerveza?” He rolled his eyes at us, giggled and said, “Mucho!” 🙄😳😂
@MSerdikoff@DvsBlack He’s right. Both my girls tended bar in college and can pay witness to it. They would also say only drink bottled, and tell the bartender you’ll open it yourself.
@DvsBlack Tell her to ignore what the KC Chiefs kicker had to say about women’s priorities. Tell her to pursue her dreams with passion. Tell her she can have a career, marriage and a family if that what she wants. It’s hard work, but millions of us do it. And tell her to have some fun!
@Pat90395319@cya9nide@KristiNoem I come from a long line of farmers. Putting down an animal that is suffering is one thing. Killing one because you can’t learn how to train it or don’t like it is just lazy/weak, and when it comes to the goat, wasteful. A true farmer would’ve butchered the goat for its meat.
@WizardSci Love a good non-gratuitous dragon…nice or naughty. Like unicorns, they’re metaphors for so many things that have been forgotten or thrown away.
