THIS AND THAT AND ARE YOU A 7
Growing older and being such sage worthy, I have a few things on this little mind of mine. Over the days some things came to me and I jotted them down. Maybe you have some of your own.
1. Why is it when you buy packaged underwear, they all fit differently and when you do happen to go back and buy another package, they are made cheaper and don't fit at all.
2. How many ice cubes does it take for you to have that perfect glass of ice tea? I had no idea that it took me 7 cubes to make me delighted.
6 just doesn't make it and 8 is way too much to allow much tea in my glass.
3. How do all cats know to come to "kitty kitty," did you teach them, nope, they just come.
We have this little cat that was abandoned here when we moved in over a year ago. She was about half feral when she started coming and knocking politely on our door. The military guy two houses down has having the same experience with the cat. She is very quiet and not a screamer by any means. Not being a pet owner at this time, I had no kitty food ready for her and when she came aknocking, I would feed her a hot dog. The first time I gave her one, she looked at like I had a horn growing out of my forehead. I told her, she was being very picky since she was a vagabond. I started calling her moochie as that is what she is. Finally we broke down and bought a bag of Iams cat food. Well, miss kitty, moved in bag and baggage after that. The other day as I walked to the mailbox, I saw our military man with the military moving coming packing him up. He had been here two years and was a single guy. He came running down and said, have you seen "Lucy"? I looked kind of funny and he said you know the little black and white cat, I am afraid she has been picked up. I assured him all was well and she was getting fatter by the minute. So with great relief, our military man, who I found out is "Dan" was very happy. He has two years until retirement and is going to Texas. So Kathy, say hello to him when you see him.
So anyway, back to the story, after calling the cat a number of names and finding out she didn't come to Moochie or Lucy, I called kitty kitty and she was here in a nano.
Now this is a little kitty who hides during the day and sleeps somewhere, never to be seen. I called her the vampire cat as she only comes out at night. So now she has moved to a kitchen chair after dining off and on all evening until it is time to go prowl. We don't even know if it is a male or female as she still is a little wild and I value my hands.
So, I guess when all is said and done, cats just come to kitty kitty automatically.
When you come to visit, just pretend you don't see that cat that now owns us.
4. Why hasn't someone came up with a GPS to attach to our eyeglasses and car keys?
5. Why is it when you buy new clothes and take the new investment home and treat it with love and care and follow the cleaning directions totally buy washing and drying exactly how the directions say and the next thing you know, this new piece of garment would fit the 10 year child down the street. You would think in this day and age, they could make them right.
6. Why are they messing with the size of packaging nowadays,
you can no longer buy 10lbs of potatoes, 5 lbs. of onions or 5 lbs of sugar, or a can of soup can no longer make 4 bowls of soup.
I know they are raising prices at extreme speeds, but lowering the amount given to us at the same time...not fair I say.
7. Just exactly who are they making those bras for and how many do we have to try on to find one that doesn't choke us or collapse the chest?
8. Finally... Just what exactly is the short end of the stick??? You have a stick, it is long and straight, how in the heck do you tell the short end?
Gosh, I feel so much better.
