Even if I could be totally honest and tell you my odd hidden secrets so far from your vision, the outcome would be the same. I am west and you are east. I have tried to figure you out, see and accept your views as my own, but it is a useless endeavor. As much as I would like there to be, there is no middle ground.

Your three words today are:
FUNNY
LAUGH
AMUSE

It’s not very funny and I’m not amused.

You might even say it’s a type of abuse

People who answer phones these days

Have never been taught the proper ways

To answer a call when it’s their job

They should talk politely, not act the snob.

They may think they’re smart and give a laugh

But that isn’t judicious, it’s only a gaffe.

Apparently the board of directors of the company that owns the complex I’m living in now has decided there is no need for an on-site manager or maintenance person and if I try to call for any information, the phone rings about ten times before a clueless offsite employee answers.

Is this type of efficiency a result of at home work during the pandemic? Are you having these same problems? Every business is hiring and no one’s applying? This facility is for people age fifty and older and it’s teeming with old people, some disabled and some mentally deficient. So whoyagonnacall??

Fandango’s Flashback Friday – August 26, 2017

Good afternoon guys! I want to take this opportunity to share an important video. You already know I live in a windy, dry environment, but the video below shows the dangers of campfires here. I have a grandson, cousins, and friends who are firefighters. Even with their safety equipment there are many cases of esophageal and lung cancer in this profession. House fires with unknown containments are especially dangerous. When you see an ambulance or fire/rescue truck, move out of the way, they may be on their way to save someone you love!

Grampa Speaks

“Your lyrics pathetic, your melody worthless and the presentation shoddy. Do you even think before you compose such a ballad? The only positive response will be from juvenile teenyboppers who don’t care what you’re saying and just want to hang on each other dancing to it. This whole generation of music is a casualty.”

RDP: Kelp Day

***

I generously topped my toothbrush

The minty paste always a must.

Donned makeup smoothing cream

That softly adheres like a dream.

Dressed in latest fashion strong

Algiknit clothes is “coming along”.

After lunch, a taste of ice cream

Maple flavor, indeed a dream

On my further research found it was so deemed—

And realized these products begin in a stream!

These smooth products use kelp to make them so.

With a few new startups, the industry will grow.

I read kelp is healthy and even thrives abundantly

But each time I eat ice cream, I shiver unconsciously.
