Quickie...

I have to tell you guys this. My husband reads the papers a day, sometimes two behind. He'll read Monday's on Tuesday; get it? (long story, behind that one, maybe later) So, sometimes he gets a little behind on the news.

Anyway, the other day I was in the office and he was walking by the doorway, I hollered out, "Hey Babe! Did you know Barney died?" (Talking about the actor Don Knotts, who played Barney Fife on the television show Mayberry.)

I don't know why I expected him to know right away who I was talking about, but his response was priceless. He looked at me for a quizzical moment, and (I swear I'm not making this up) said, "The dinosaur?"

I just had to share....

I had the almost overwhelming urge to kick someone in the teeth today. I had two really good candidates too, but I am an adult so I didn't. So now you have to hear about them.

As I was shopping today, I was looking at some earrings that were on display. There wasn't a sign describing them in detail, so I asked the clerk who was standing right there behind the jewelry counter if they were plated or solid white gold. Her response: "I don't know. I just work here." What?!?! Apparently she doesn't work on commission. And no, I wasn't at Walmart. I would not of been surprised to hear that response if I was. But I was actually at a very high end store. I love the people who work the sales counters. They act so snooty, yet they most likely barely make more than minimum wage.

The second thing, just happened about ten minutes ago. I ran down to the little neighborhood store near my house, and guess what I see? A minivan parked about 50 yrds from the door to the store, running, purse sitting on the passenger seat, BABY is a carseat in the back, doors unlocked. WTF!?!?! I don't live in the best neighborhood, far from it. What the hell was this person thinking, that left this kid there like that? I went towards the store and saw a woman walking towards the van. Yup, it was hers.

Me: "Excuse me. Is that your van?"

Stupid Bitch: "Yeah, why?"

Me: "Did you forget that you have a kid in the backseat?"

Stupid Bitch: "Who the hell are you?"

Me: "Did you forget that you have a kid in the backseat, and the engine is running with the doors unlocked?"

Stupid Bitch: "Screw you, who are you to judge?" she said while walking away.

Me: "Not judging just asking a simple question. It's a good thing that I was the one to come upon your van. The running engine on the unlocked car, with the purse sitting on the front seat would have been awfully tempting if I was a thief. Oh even better! If I was a pervert, that little blond girl snoozing away in the backseat would make quite a find. What were you thinking?"

Her: "Fuck off." She then hoped into her van and squealed her tires leaving the lot. Yeah, that was safe.

Someone else might think I am judging. But I think that in order to judge someone, there has to be a possibility of innocence. There was none that I could see. She did what she did, I saw it with my own eyes. She also couldn't give a rip. What a toadcock. Ok, I'm done bitching now.

Yet Another New Tenant, This One Rocks!

Hey I want to introduce The Rock Bitch to everyone. Her thumbnail to click on is to your left right under Teh Blogfather.

This woman is way too cool. I was a little leary about putting her up on my site, because after reading her bio, I am thinking that she might be my husbands dream woman. But as she is clear on the other side of the country, I think I'm safe.

She loves the Rock & Roll, is an advocate for The American Cancer Society, and was a DJ for a rock radio station until someone pissed her off. If you want to know more your going to have to check her and her blog out for yourself.
