melanie again

Posted on October 30, 2022 by | 2 comments

I was enjoying some dear Melanie this morning. When I was a young’un, the school bus driver used to bring a radio, which was prohibited, but happened anyway. Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) was getting good airplay and would come on many mornings as we children were riding to school. Sometimes the entire bus would sing along. It was a great feeling when facing what was sometimes an unpleasant school day.

Melanie Safka is still living, age 75, and is sometimes on social media.

Song lyrics and poetry regularly pop into my head as I go about my days.

café americano and some melanie

Posted on October 30, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Starting Sunday with a delicious giant café americano (espresso shots diluted a little with hot water) and a string of songs by Melanie.

Very nice.

special t-shirts in which to go voting

Posted on October 27, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I’m mail ordering a special t-shirt to wear to the next national election that will make me happy. It’s cryptic enough to where I should be able to get in OK.

It is shipping out of China but is not particularly to do with China.

I ordered a second shirt that is more direct, but I’ll save it for special occasions. 😁

restaurant reviews

Posted on October 27, 2022 by | Leave a comment

You know you’ve seen it.

How to know when a customer is amping up a negative restaurant review for dramatic effect:

“All I did was mention to the manager that I usually get four chicken tenders instead of three with my biscuit. He called me a GD asshole, punched me, and then dragged me to the bathroom and held my head in the toilet. I almost drowned! I’m sorry, one star.” ⭐

take-out chinese food reviewers

Posted on October 27, 2022 by | Leave a comment

The usual song of the one-star take-out Chinese restaurant reviewer is the word “undercooked.”

“My rice was undercooked and there was NO COMPENSATION! One star.”

Poor little Karen’s $4 chow mein was ruined. lol.

When traveling, I read a lot of restaurant reviews to decide where to go and I see this all the time.

famous olive garden salad

Posted on October 26, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Wonder where this could be?

World’s greatest salad, and has been for decades.

I’m not having any today, but Olive Garden has a cheap sweet Italian wine called Confetti. Very refreshing. I could turn up the bottle and chug the whole thing without stopping.

hillary and biden

Posted on October 23, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I was joking around at work one day with a fairly right-wing Republican guy, and it got quite funny.

It got down to, if you had to choose between Hillary and Biden, which one would you prefer?

He said, “Hillary in a heartbeat over that thing we have now. At least when Hillary says something, I can understand what she’s talking about.”

I thought it was funny to hear him say it. I can see it.
