Queenee spent a few hours back at work today. Of course everyone was falling down with appreciation that she was back, she's so special and they were all so worried that she might be considering retirement. HA! Not a chance. Now everything will get back to normal and be done properly again, so there was a collective sigh of relief. They have Queenee back and will be rid of me post haste. Too bad nobody will hire me, because Queenee and PopPop would dearly love to be rid of me and my cats as well (and a big shout-out and thanks to those of you agitating behind the scenes for them to throw me out - don't bother denying it, you and I know who you are), but that can't be helped for now.
This has been a chilly week weather-wise, we were getting spoiled with the 70F weather for a couple weeks. Poor PopPop had a frigid day of golf yesterday. However, May is upon us and soon we'll be whining about how it's too hot and humid.
I just took the Scandal-Gate: The 1980s quiz at Mental_Floss and scored 10 out of 10. Good guesswork on three, there were only seven I knew for sure. Mental_Floss is a pretty cool site, check it out if you are interested in interesting things.
Anyone not watching the Kentucky Derby this Saturday might consider checking out Pangea Day. Four hours of short films will be broadcast over the internet from 2pm-6pm Eastern time. The point is to try to get people to think about "the other" in a less virulent, vitriolic way, and to promote better understanding between various cultures, religions, etc. It's a very hopeful idea, but I'm not sure you can sway people who have long ago decided what is right and wrong and who they like and don't like. Too many people have already made up their minds about pretty much everything and they will not be moved. Still, it's a noble effort and I wish the organizers well.

you need to stop hating on yourself and have positive energy. we're your family, regardless of how you feel, we DO LOVE you. reading this truly saddens us. we hate to know that this is how you feel, it kills us, it really does. how do you think it makes us all feel to know that you think we hate you? we know you have been through a lot, but its time for a new start, and we want you to know that we are here for you. please get your mind out of the gutter. we hate to break this to you, but we feel as if a lot of this is in your head... please be strong. we love you. <3 the peas.
ReplyDeleteWell, EP, I don't know what to tell you, except it is most definitely NOT in my head. I've heard too much over the last year or so to contradict whatever might be said publicly. I know nobody wants to hear it, but that's too bad, I hear it plenty. The truth isn't always pretty, and having to own up to what's been said doesn't make some people look too good, but people should walk their talk and accept responsibility for their speech and actions, don't you think?
ReplyDeletebtw, I'm not referring to *everyone*. Also, I don't hate myself. But I'm not kidding myself either.
On the plus side, it's nice to know someone actually reads this blog once in a while.
