My younger half sister has silver spoon syndrome, or spoiled rotten narcissist syndrome, she has a couple kids and a hubby that makes tons of money -- I don't talk to either of my Sisters...

If my Wife and I had kids I doubt they would have made it through year one -- I'm sure one of us would have dropped them (both of us freeze up if someone hands us a baby...).

Wife is going to clean blood off my head this morning and take a closer look -- she's real funny this morning: "well, at least you didn't bleed out over night..." (thanks, hon...)

Then there's this story of me working down at the farm removing about a 15 ft Holly tree. To move it to the back pile I lifted it with the FEL (before I had a grapple) high enough to clear the other growing trees. A wind gust blew in and took the tree right off the FEL, sliding down the arms and hit me in the forehead. Check, nope no bleeding. Finished up as I had to get home early so I could take Les to the airport.

As soon as she saw me walk in the door she asked what happened. I asked why. There was this real big lump on my forehead. Never looked. She was worried about me driving her to the airport.

Yeah, that comment about bleeding out overnight seems vaguely familiar. I think. I just can't remember .....

Jack I think you would and most of the people here would be good additions to the pool.
However Marty Simmons is not one of then.

That's a good one. Last one I had like that I was going hunting and getting out of the beater car I had I caught the edge of the door square between the eyes. Thought it felt funny but went about my business. Got back to the house and the wife asked me what had happened. Seemed every time I moved my nose the gash between my eyes smiled at her. Being to loving wife she is she took me to the er to get glued up.

We used to vacuum the dog. She would see the vacuum come out and if you did not
use it on her you would not be left alone.

I had no problem seeing it.
But I found that if I am posting a form letter into a PM the site doubles
the number of line returns in the copied text. Then the other day I posted
a paragraph of *** as a joke and the site added gaps into the text.

Damn. I delete a lot of things after I write them. I’ll have to keep this in mind.

I find the appropriate stance is one that mimics Sgt Plumley’s scowl along with a comment also appropriate for the situation, ie

“Don’t need no goddamn door held open”, “Ain’t no goddamn good day”, “Don’t need no goddamn senior discount”, etc.

My last garage cat was deaf as a door nail -- he loved to get vacuumed whenever I ran the shop vac. Just had to be careful as he was so old and skinny I would have broken something if I just used the straight hose end on him -- so I'd pit my fingers over the end to cut down on the vacuum. It was a crack-up

Any of you see the old Phillips light bulb commercial with the cat and the floor vac running near it, and then the lights go out? Next you hear the cat scream... The SPCA probably got it banned...

In Italy the traditional restaurants give the menu to the senior family or group member first. I get handed the first one too often lately, trouble is I told my family about it so they laugh every time 😡
