BYC Café

At least this time she wasn't crying when I answered the phone!

This time?? This has happened before?

Good morning, Café - a fresh pot is brewed. Back from the LLWS last night, dinner with grandson who is heading back to California, dental appointment this morning, and now I am catching my breath.

My fragile ego was bruised at the little league playoffs. Twice within a couple hour period I was addressed as 'young man'. That's never happened before, and everyone knows it translates to 'old fart'.

Yes the last time she was hit in the front end by someone pulling out of a driveway in a construction zone after work. I was 200 miles away and when I answered the phone all I heard was crying. That makes your heart race and your stomach tighten in an instant.

Are you enjoying yourself? What are you doing up there with your time alone DL?

I don't remember how many times I've been Frenched by a dog.
Ben went as far as to remove a bite of pumpkin pie directly from my mother's mouth one Thanksgiving! She was mortified!
I was useless to her as I fell off the couch laughing so hard. I warn everyone that Ben is a kleptomaniac. I just didn't realize he'd take his thievery so far.



That sounds like a great mix! I hope none of your SFs turn out to be male...

Oh my gosh, I bet that was hilarious! I've been the victim of dog frenchies myself. It's amazing how quick they are

I've thought about ending up with my own little Fabio. Lordy, I hope not! I've already got Cheap Shot Charlie (Wyandotte), not sure I could handle two of them. Although, he seems to be coming round a bit. Haven't been flogged for a month, maybe? He's still giving me the eyeball, but...baby steps.

Dobie, I laughed so hard at your Ben story! Thanks, I needed that!


IM, that’s some scary stuff! I just went thru that last month with DH. He luckily wasn’t hurt either, but 3wks worth of dealing with the scam they call insurance & trying to figure out how to buy an unplanned for new car was incredibly stressful. I have 2 teens almost ready to learn to drive & I’m giving myself mini heart attack's over it.

I'm enjoying it but as I suspected, I miss him. His confusion seems to have really increased being placed in unfamiliar areas. He is having a really hard time talking to me on the phone and I end up talking to his daughter instead.
I'm puttering around, trying to get things done. I believe I may even hang the front windows on the coop today!!
The remaining windows still need paint and glaze on the exterior sides before they are ready but I'll certainly have them hung before it's so cold they need to be closed.

Happy to hear your daughter is okay, IM! Bummer about your husbands car, though. Are your temps still pretty outrageous?

When I was young, my Ma would get so pissed if someone called her ma'am. Then in more recent years, she'd get even more rabid when she would get carded. She would point to her crows feet and say "THIS is my ID!" Ha, a hoot, that one. I imagine that is pretty annoying, Sour. People think they are being complimentary instead of a bit boorish.
