I need one. I think the cobwebs are finally taking over in my gray matter. I can’t seem to get busy on writing or anything else for that matter.
There were 19 big-ass turkeys in my front field this morning. You think that I could come up with something to write about them. Maybe, later.
So, I’m taking the wuss way out again and posting something that I got in my email.
| A Woman’s Poem
He didn’t like the casserole I didn’t perk the coffee right
Like his mother used to do.

Monday was TPKen’s birthday. Every year, it gets harder and harder to come up with a birthday gift for him. He’s one of those guys that goes out and buys whatever he needs or WANTS for himself. I’ve always thought that this was a selfish thing for people to do. When they know that their birthday, Christmas, etc. is fast approaching and they already have bought themselves what they want when they want it. It leaves family and friends out in the cold scratching their heads to come up with a gift idea.
So, this year, I decided that I was just not going to worry about it. He has done this for our entire marriage.
Monday evening I ran out and bought him some Levi’s, a book, and some candy.
He needed new jeans.
He didn’t like the book. How convenient it was for me that it was one that I had been wanting to read. “snicker”
He didn’t like the candy. Can you believe it that it just happened to be one of my favorites. “snicker snicker”
I’m on to something here. I can’t wait for Christmas!!!!
Love the poem. As for the drain brain, I hear lobotomies work. Though I’ve also heard people say I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. You could give both a try I suppose.
Keep up the good work!

Monkey….thanks! I needed that…laugh not a lobotmy. Or, maybe, a lobotomy is in order. Do you happen to know how to do a do-it-yourself lobotomy. I have no insurance.
On second thought, some heavy drinking might work. Think I’ll go try it!

If I had a cure for Brain Drain I would use it myself. Must be that time of the year. A good bottle of wine might help or at least give others something funny to write about. Hang in there! Oh, I loved the poem. Haven’t we all felt like that at one time in our marriage?

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy (sorry Dorothy)

Tis true! But, I wonder how it would be to have both?
Here’s a story just for YOU….the other day, I was fixing a dish of chicken. The recepie calls for wine. I had not drank any wine in a long time due to the fact that I have to eat pills (more than I care to mention) for my bipolar disorder. BUT, on this particular day, that wine beckoned me and I just could not resist it. So, I used 1 cup for the chicken and ending up drinking the rest of the damn bottle. Gosh, it was good. I’m beginning to believe that all those “pills, pills, pills for my ills” can be replaced with a few stout drinks. I may experiment a tad. Got any suggestions for beverages?

Gin, gin and more gin…wine just screws up my head (more than normal) and beer is just bubbly piss (excuse the French). If not gin, then vodka and lime cordial. Have you tried peppermint schnapps on ice cream…yum!

steppingthru…..everything you said is soooo true!
Maybe, I will drink a bottle of wine and do some drunk posting. Then, you can post about my post!

I’m assuming that with being married to the great (I’m guessing) white hunter that you are now ready for Thanksgiving at least.
Turkey and Goat…..good eating.

rubbertaster….I’ll have to believe that you know which ones are the best since apparently you have tasted rubber. Anyone who will taste rubber has to be pretty much of an expert on drink/food.
ANd,I LOVE gin. And vodka is a fav cause it has no smell. “wink wink” Too much wine or beer gives me a puking headache.
Never a truer statement made…”beer is just bubbly piss”.
In TPSkipper’s neighborhood, there are an unusual number of beer conisours (mispelled?). On Halloween nite, I ended up sitting around with a group of BORING people who were comparing the taste and “ambiance” of types of beer. I excused myself very early from that gathering.
In college, I met every challenge put at me by frat boys for drinking contest. My drink of choice then was GRAIN ALCOHOL becuase it was cheap and odorless. Boy, I can tell ya some stories ’bout those days…….

This is why I buy things that he wouldn’t normally buy for himself that I WANT him to have. Like new underwear…

Yes, I do that, too, for Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Nothing says “I care” like brand new undies!
Good to see you, MJ!
