A Night At the Stomach Saloon

It's dark and clammy in the Saloon. Trouble is brewing.

Prime Rib: (approaching the bar) Ah don't like the look of ya. (Sniffs) And Ah shore don't like the way y'all smell, neither.

Tequila: Hey, hombre, we ain't looking to make trouble. We are just trying to relax, eh?

Prime Rib: This here stomach just ain't big enough fur the two of us. Ah'm fixin' ta be the first one in that there ol' small intestine.

Tequila: Look, hermano, we were here first. Well, technically one half of us was here first, but us depressants got to stick together, si? I am sorry to tell you that it will be us into the small intestine first. First come, first served, comprende?

Prime Rib: Not if Ah've got somptin' ta say about it!

A brawl breaks out. It's a nasty one. Halfway through, Prime Rib calls out to Mashed Potatoes and Bread.

Prime Rib: Hey, y'all wanta help me out here? Y'all are just sittin' there like a bunch o' mush.

Mashed Potato: Well, what else did you expect?

Bread: Yeah, I mean, since when do we have any backbone? We're just guys who like to hang loose.

Lettuce: I'm afraid of the spinner, so don't look for bravery from me.

The fight continues long into the night, and at 1:30am, it finally looks as if Tequila is going to win.

Prime Rib: If Ah ain't goin' down, then ain't nobody goin' down!

Tequila: You are loco, hombre!

Prime Rib: Here we go!

And much to Gina's surprise, nobody did go down. In fact, everybody came right back up.

**And, for the record, I had exactly one and a half drinks. They weren't shots. I was in no way, shape, or form, drunk. Just something about the contents of my stomach, as you can see, did not get along.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
