That is FANTASTIC!!! Congrats grandpa

I've got boarding passes! I think I'm packed, I'm sure I'll forget something vital. Starting to freak out just a little bit. Driving to Atlanta tonight, 8 am whoosh off to hawaii.

CHICKEN! you’ve got 2 hips you only gotta break 1. Seriously, what are you even doing with your bones? Break a few.

Damn that’s a shame. But you went out like a rockstar.

Did you survive?

I literally have better chances of winning the lottery than finding my rich hawaiian. I do not know if I should be flattered or offeneded, someone yesterday told me "congratulations" and I'm all "on what?" she said "the baby" THIS WOMAN THOUGHT I WAS PREGNANT. I laughed and said "I am 800 years old" she laughed and said "you really not pregnant?" I said "No just old and fat" flattered she thinks I could still get pregnant. offended shes calling me fat.

me neither. I think I'll sue, that was my destiny. Now how will I buy my own hawaiian island?

this is very true. I try to be a halfway decent tipper but I'm poor I did leave some poor girl a bunch of quarters because I was scraping the bottom of the barrell money wise but I did make a smiley face out of them. :D On one hand you could just NOT tip, quite frankly as a "foreigner" we expect you to be a jerk therefore our expectations can't be lower. Hee! Hawaiians are like Canadians, just infallibly polite. Jason used to joke that even criminals in hawaii if they robbed you they'd say please and thank you. Hawaii is most def a bucket list for me. I did retrieve my credit card which is a Phew! Now I'm down to my packing list, get my car serviced, get my hair cut (gotta look fabulous to land me a rich hawaiian dude) of course the week I'm going to be gone is our sign up for health care week at work. So I have to do it tonight. Usually I thought they gave us a whole month, usually from mid November to Mid December but it just opened yesterday and closes the 18th and I'm gone. I voted early so I don't have to do that today. Just collect my $1.9 billion dollars when they finally declare me as the winner.

Next Tuesday I'm headed to hawaii. I'm freaking out. I have so much to do. This weekend I was cat/house sitting for my friend and her cat hates me. Won't come out when I'm there so I took myself out of the house so the poor thing can eat or poop in peace. Went to this barbecue place which was great. When I gave my credit card to the waitress I stacked my "to go" box on top of my phone/wallet and took 2 steps to go wash my hands and was gone less than a minute. When I got back my box and phone were gone and I started freaking out. The girl was back very quickly, she essentially thought I forgot my stuff and had gone to look for me outside. So panic over I signed my receipt and went on my way. Back at home it wasn't until 7 pm ish that I looked and couldn't find my credit card. In my panic I had forgotten to take it out of the sleevey thing they give you to pay with. Called them, yes they have it I can fetch it after work when I go back up to see if the cat has pooped or eaten. I had just made my reservation for the rental car in Hawaii, says I need to present the credit card and my ID to claim the card so I sure didn't want to have to cancel the card. Can I make my life any more complicated?

dang you're good. I know Jean Shepherd is not around to narrate but also I think the director of the original movie also directed Porkys (also amongst my favorites) and he and his son were killed when a drunk driver hit them. I know the dad from the movie died but the mom is alive (84) but they've recast Julie Hagerty

I never quoted that but "you'll shoot your eye out kid" and "fra-jee-lay" are big in my house. I even have a little night light leg lamp. You plug it into a wall socket so mom doesn't have to break it in a tragic vacumming accident. FUUUUUUDDDDDGGGEEE

They've got original Ralphie AND his brother. Original Scut Farkis. I think original buddies as well. I always find it odd how much "wizard of Oz" stuff is background to themovie. In the mall visiting santa there are winged monkeys and I think in the parade. Which I always figured the original was somewhere post WW2 and wizard of oz was 1939 so it existed but seems random. Maybe it's more of a 1939 timeline and it was advertising to get you to see the movie. My mother was the dolt that got her tongue stuck to a flagpole. Grew up in Iowa and somebody told her to do it and she did.

Oddly enthused about the new "christmas Story" coming out. And saw a preview for yet another John Wicke.

Movies in the south are always interesting. They talk back to the screen.

I NEED THIS! Ordinarily I hate a music montage but damned if I didn't love the crap out of Orla having her own little dance number with some weans. It's just something Orla would do and not a weird fantasy thing.

I have no meaning in my life any more without the Derry Girls. I want to dress as Sister George Michael and drive around Northern Ireland in a Delorean. Fuck a doodle I have no idea what to do with my time now. I think James telling Erin to write that down was the hint that Erin is Lisa McGee and she will be a writer and I really did hope that present day flash forward was going to tell us where they all ended up. It's been like 5 hours and I'm seriously sad and lonely without these girls.

Can't begin to tell you how obsessed I am with Derry Girls right now. Told my friend Becky we gotta go to Ireland

I think I got grave shamed. This lady who is not a relative of mine but who is kind of a niece in law? anywho grew up with my niece and apparently always thought of my mom as her grandma. She sends me a picture of my mom's headstone and says one of the vases looks like it got smooshed so she'll replace it. I've been to my mom's grave 3 times in 32 years. I live 2200 miles away. I did actually see it last year (on my mom's birthday!) and wasn't going to replace the vase. My mother isnt in the hole. The hole has no meaning for me. Eventually I will put my sister there (ashes/urn) but can't do that until everybody is out of prison/rehab. Don't I always make everybody super happy to not be me? mission accomplished. Got a house sitting gig the week before christmas hopefully offset some of the hawaii debt. wheeeeeeee! Can't even make this up...my niece writes me "you know whose in here? I recognized her, she's got an accent and she was the one who trafficked those kids for the guy who killed himself" Ghislaine Maxwell?????? I thought she must be mistaken. Googled her, she is indeed in tallahassee. I said stay away. Far far away.

Friend of mine was making plans for thanksgiving. Going home to Iowa because her parents are 82 and daddy broke a hip this year and she hasn't been in a few years so in case she has no chance next year might as well go this year. So I texted my friend Marcy in New Mexico saying we should plan a trip...bam she says "hey we are going to hawaii for my sisters birthday, you should come". Now I do not invite myself on other people's trips. I do know her sister, she is 1 year younger than us and if you know anything about navajo people, they have no concept of "permission". They're rather utopian in the sense that your cousin is your sister and nobody owns anything, everything is kind of share and share alike. Much of this comes from being trapped on a reservation for such a long time that if your neighbor had food they shared, if your neighbor is going to town and they have a truck you are automatically invited to go. Things are changing somewhat but it was not uncommon to see a truck going down the road with 3-4 in the cab and then the back just full of kids and people. Obviously not so much legal anymore but basically if someone was going to town anybody could just jump in for the ride. no questions asked. but I did clear who was going (adults only, how many people) because I wanna make sure it's not 27 people going, trust me they do travel in large packs...so for the moment it's under 6 people, no kids so that can be 1 rental car and a condo/house rental that's doable. IT's really dumb dates but I dont get to choose that. Her birthday is in November and I think logic would dictate just choose it around thanksgiving because you already have built in days off...not so much Nov 15-22 which means I get home 1 day before taking 4 days off. Actually, for me, it becomes the 23rd because of times zones so I get home just in time for actual thanksgiving holidays. Which in my brain is stupid but I'm gonna be tired so just stfu and go and be tired and do your damn bucket list thing. I have purchased a ticket with insurance so if anything changes I can get my money back.

I had assumed you were in line already.

I think I’m going to Hawaii! EEEEEEEEEK cobbling a plan together now. Holy cow holy cow holy cow I booked it. Now I gotta breathe.

Those are good survival skills too! I'm amazed I made it anywhere on the subway sober in the middle of the day. I think by day 3 my legs locked up because we had been climbing the stairs in and out of the subway. I do not know where we were going but we went down like 7 sets of stairs. I took a cab over the brooklyn bridge.

I wish I was a member of the KISS army! Kids in Satan's Service.

Slapped by my mama's shoe branch.

Do we get to follow his casket through the streets? Are we allowed to wear our military uniforms?
