I tend to use Quick Parts in Outlook--what a timesaver!

I wish I had never let that one into my mind.  Still ranks as one of the hardest movies I have ever watched.

My grandmother always told me that the worst breech of etiquette is pointing out someone else’s breech of etiquette but I did it, anyway. I’m at a beach house we rented with a bunch of friends when one of them calls me out for not putting the lid down on the toilet after I used it...she’s decided it must have been…

That Yosemite State Park was pronounced like Yosemite Sam says his name. Not Yoz.a.mite. I’d only ever read it, never connected it with the cartoon. Wondered, dying inside, if I’d ever said it aloud.

I give kids THE EYE!  Down face-to-face and very softly and slowly say, "Go find your parent.". No more play dates at my house as my kids are grown, but I was a teacher for many years.

I never got a flu shot until the year I died of the flu. Obviously, I came back but after 2 weeks on full life support, in a coma, on the heart transplant list (got to keep my own!), and another 3 weeks in rehab learning to walk and care for myself. I just can’t imagine ever getting the flu again and having someone…

Seven years ago, I spent 2 weeks on full life support for the flu, followed by another 3 weeks in rehab to learn to walk again. It was 2 years before I didn’t cry on my way home from work every day. Even now, if I can’t recall a detail or spell a word, I’m convinced it’s brain damage. Good to know it’s a real thing.

I waited for two hours at Dulles Airport—and there were three more planeloads of people behind me!

my work people use “around”--as in discussions around, let’s talk around.  

I have always thought of my ability as a superpower! Since I am an early to bed and late to rise kind of girl, I don’t think I’m sleep deprived, just gifted! :-)

When I was a kid, the fad was eating birdseed. And dog biscuits.  God only knows what was in those back in the day.

We are on the same wavelength!! Panda express!!!

No, no, no...the soup thingies as a topper

Food court: some kind of panda cafe thing? I’m thinking egg rolls and orange chicken. Won Ton dumplings as a crispy base, or a topping over orange chicken egg rolls? Um...noodles baked into a crust, layered with eggs rolls and orange chicken and the wontons as a topper. You’ll be hungry again in a half hour.

Not sure why, but deciding to buy restaurant food, when it’s just me, always makes me feel adult. I want a salad at Panera? I’m an adult, I can do that!

Is it wrong of me to wish the man would drop dead of a massive stroke/heart attack/hemorrhoid?

Get the flu shot! I did not until 5 years ago. That year I spent 2 weeks in a medically induce coma, on total life support, and then a month in a rehab hospital, regaining my strength to walk. I had multiple blood transfusions, all kinds of biopsies, and medications. A shot seems like a no brainer.

Zombies. No lie. In college, we watched the trilogy and I slept with the lights on for several years thereafter. Still have nightmares. I’m 57.

I remember complaining to my little sister about my workday. My boss wanted a letter typed (real typewriter, back in the day) and every time I brought it to him, thinking it was done, he’d want a change. I spent my whole day, typingand retyping this letter. In mid-rant, my sister stopped me with a single sentence.…

The panties in a box bother me. Who has panties that small? And the bootie pool noodles—ever notice that when your boots come out to play, summer is over and there are no pool noodles to be had and vice versa? Those two things don’t exist in the same universe.
