Talk about a SENIOR moment!
Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car.
Frantically I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately call the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered. I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.” There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice, “Ken,” she barked, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”
Diane retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!”
That's funny Karen....
but this thread is not as it nears death.
Shall we mercy kill?
By the way, if anyone needs ice, come and get some. The trees in my lane are shedding their icy coats and my lane looks like a giant waiter dropped his ice bucket.
Could use some ice here Ruth as it's been in the 70-80's for 2 weeks....
We need rain, hardly any at all this winter and not much snow in the Sierras.
Will be done by Christmas. I have no doubt.
Right now my wife is at church being lectured to by my ex-wife....
I'm having a nice glass of Merlot.
I had a glass of Merlot too, Gary, while a friend programmed a remote for me. It was French though and I bet yours was California.
Hey! last day of January and good riddance!
I suppose a French Remote makes sense in Canada. But only if you had a bi-lingual TV.
Here, down south, we have a ton of Spainish speaking only TV and radio shows.
RUTH it was a Merlot from Paso Robles, California...
some nice lower middle shelf stuff!
Looking at the numbers here BILL...
I am afraid you and I are going to have to MAN UP!
otherwise, come GAME DAY...
we may be hovering over the computer...
knives and guns ready for the kill...
Don't know about you but I will look a little silly in my group of friends...
Just sayin'
operator, needs to come in and put this thing out of it's misery.
Hey! I'll try to help out a bit with this-- I'd hate for anybody to look "GOOFY" on game day!!!
I've already got a bigger problem. We have only one TV. Super Bowl starts at 6:30 pm ET. Downton Abbey starts at 9:00pm. NOTHING comes between my DW and Downton Abbey.
Anybody know how long the game goes?
It was French Merlot but we can get California and it's good. Maybe next time.
The remote can be programmed in either official language though. There is also a choice between ºC or ºF and the YY/MM/DD format or the ba$tardized ones used in the less civilized parts of the world. I really do love metric as I then weigh less than 100!
