My local McDonald's was missing you this morning.  Next time you're there, make sure you ask for your SENIOR coffee.
:lol:

Old people are so out of control with their 'senior' this and 'senior' that. :mad:

Yesterday I was in the oral hygiene aisle at the supermarket buying mouthwash, and I turned around and almost bumped into my dentist.  Freaky. :hmm:

My dentist has many of my family, cousins and extended family as patients and sees them more often, so the running joke is that I ask him what's new with my relatives and he fills me in on things.   :D

:D

That would make a nice plot point in an ongoing situation comedy.

I had considered Panera Bread, but I was simply not in the mood for wading into a crowd of obnoxious hipsters sucking up free WiFi with their Apple Products, as that can cause homicidal ideations. 

I live just far enough from downtown to be in a hipster-free zone.  You'd love my nearby Panera.  Nothing but soccer moms in yoga pants, with plenty of free time.

Mine only has business people.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Mrs B is feeling under the weather.  She asks if we have any NeoCitran (apparently sold in the US as Theraflu).  I say "I think so", and start digging deep in some cupboards.

Mrs B sayd "don't bother - it's probably expired a couple of years ago".

I find it, and start laughing.

Expiry date - September, 2007.

Mrs. B is still feeling under the weather, but is now fascinated by all the new colors.

Today in the subway I overheard a guy talking about God as if He were real. :wacko:
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

So I took a client to lunch today. Had a great steak each. By the time we got to the espresso and the dessert, we both realised it's Ash Wednesday (turns out he used to be an altar boy). Gotta love (being a) lapsed Catholic. :P

You enjoy life but you still get enough guilt to keep you alert.

Residual guilt is why lapsed Catholic girls enjoy sex so much.

God, you're such an American, DG.  What self-respecting Ukrainian/Russian is going to get out of his car to go investigate if some other driver is OK?

He was probably wondering if there was something illicit going on that he could report. Remember that above all else, DGuller is a snitch.  :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

At the supermarket yesterday I checked the wants/sales offers on their exit area blackboard.

Between the usual cards looking for work/apartments or selling old furniture: "For sale: engraved long sword, 150 cm."

Do you still write? This sounds like the beginning of a short story.  :cool:
