TMA Wikipedia
Filed Under QOTD | 2 Comments
It is time to clear up some misunderstanding amongst the group. We all have things that we hear about but don’t clearly understand, whether it be a concept or a word or a phrase. Like me, I don’t really know what an MP3 player is or why they call a “honeymoon” a “honeymoon”, but I know that some of you do. So, I would like you to try to illuminate me on those subjects and then give the group an idea, word or phrase you’d like some clarification on.
P.S. No Wikipedia or Google (let’s keep it real)!!!

This afternoon my husband, daughter and I attended a birthday celebration at my in-law’s house. My husband’s grandmother is not the nicest, and she seems to enjoy acting her shoe size, rather than her age, if you know what I mean. Today, the first thing she said to my husband, who was dressed in cargo shorts, was: “You have ugly legs”. She then said, “When you are 91 you can say whatever you want”. I told her that I thought his legs were hot, then I laughed until I cried because in the car on the way to the party my husband predicted that she’d pick on him today, rather than me. He, of course, was right.
So, if your grandmother told you that you had ugly legs, what would you say? If you are 91, can you really say whatever you want?

Don’t know what to cook!

My sister in law H and my niece Laura (she’s an adult not a littlie*) are coming to dinner tonight. We’ll drink lots of chilled prosecco, eat chicken in a bacon, mushroom and cream sauce and play poker. My problem is what can I do for dessert?
So, tell us, after a lovely warming chicken dish, what would you suggest for dessert?
* I tell you this because I don’t want you to think that I am introducing a child to the joys of alcohol and gambling!

Nothing drives me more crazy than to find one of my dogs on my beloved burgandy reading chair, or to come across them snoozing soundly on my leather sofa. Do you allow your pets on the furniture?

Only 3 parachutes
Filed Under Only 3 parachutes | 7 Comments
You’ve been given 3 parachutes, but there are 4 people who need them. Who will you not give one to: Your boss, your spouse (or signifcant other), the last person who called you on the telephone, or the last person who rang your doorbell?
(Of course, all 4 of them are up really super duper high in the air, and the parachute is truly the only way to save them. You are safe on the ground, so there is no need to give yourself a parachute.)

The plane leaves NOW
Filed Under Just Curious, QOTD | 7 Comments
You’ve just received the fantastic news that you and a guest have won an all expense paid trip to Destination Unknown. The catch is: 1. You leave NOW. 2. You can only bring the clothes on your back. 3. You’ll find out where you are going when you get there.
Are you going to go? What clothes will you be traveling in? And lastly, where do you secretly hope Destination Unknown is? Where do you hope it’s not?

My brother and his wife have one dog, an American Eskimo-type, and four cats. You’d never know they have four cats, because they live in a 2800 square foot home (not including the basement) and the cats are usually tucked away somewhere and rarely interact with company. They want to get another dog, a companion for him [the dog], and have been to the humane society a few times to look at the dogs there. Today they found a really great Pomeranian-American Eskimo mix. They even brought their dog along with them when they went to see the new dog to see how the two dogs would do together. They were all set to adopt the dog, when the Humane Society lady informed them that since they already had a total of five pets (dogs and cats), they were at their limit, and were unapproved for adoption.
My brother suggested that they pretend to give away two of their cats so that they’d be under the limit and then could adopt this dog. My sister-in-law suggests that they give away two cats and then honestly try to adopt the dog. (She really really wants this dog)
What would you do?
