Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Just when I thought the heat was going to make me throw up & kill my quail, we got a brief reprieve in the form of big fat rain drops. I'm grateful... I feel like sticky tack... but I'm grateful.

I hate September.

I can't remember...does he speak Korean?

And... has he found a woman there? Is that why he wants to go back?

He's got a fairly good handle on the language - and yeah... there's a girl (and she's adorable and kind and smart...)

It's been unusually humid here - wish it'd rain. Supposed to cool off by the weekend and not go back to triple digit land.

Tonight DH was driving home behind a guy with a couple trees hanging out of his trunk. They were obviously going slow, no big, it was just a couple blocks. Anyway DH turned onto our road & got out to get the mail when the car with the trees stops dead in the middle of the street. Two 20-something guys jump out of the car & start screaming f bombs at DH & accusing him of tailgating them. It totally took DH off guard & he was like, “What? I wasn’t tailgating you. I saw you have plants & I’m in no hurry.” They kept yelling at him & so he says, “Hey, if you guys are wanting to pick a fight with me, ok I guess, but i gotta tell ya, I’m feeling pretty chill.” They said, “Look its just way uncool to tailgate someone who lives on your same block.” DH said, “Ya know what, this car won’t even let you tailgate. You get remotely close to someone & it starts screaming at you.” With that they finally went, “Oh, ok” gave him a ‘bro nod’ & got back in there car. The whole thing just pissed me off when he told me.

Here’s my questions;
1. Is it “cool” to tailgate someone who doesn’t live on your block?

2. What’s with people picking fights with my family on my own property? My temperament for this sort of thing is getting short, quick.

You seem to have a lot of fruitcakes where you live Roomy, or is that normal?

I'd have told them "If you want a piece of me, bring it on; just don't forget to bring a lunch" But I tend to get mouthy in those situations.

They have all covered the situation. You are indeed a 'crazy' magnet, and an exorcism is in order.

Good morning, Café.

Top of the morning Ponders!

@room onthebroom some people just don't have anything more positive to invest their energy in. Sorry you've gotta deal with thre crazies.

This is my wife and youngest boy having a chat the night before Dorian passed by.

Then there's this nut job hugging my oldest son.
