Re: My rental house.
Mrs. Cohen,
My prospective renter appeared to be very interested but I will not learn if he is my renter until I show it to his wife on next wednesday. Now that I know that he is married, I don't think that i will be able to post what I had been thinking of posting. I intended to say that Mr. Hussein must be planning on planting a HUGE garden, because he asked me if the Bean&Grain elevator just down the street from the house, would deliver a metric ton of amonium nitrate. Sigh!

Re: Good luck on the renter
Do you also remember the wired pharmacist from "Saturday night live?" He would duck an imaginary dive bombing SOMETHING, and ask "DID YOU SEE THAT?" Then he shook it off and muttered, "I can handle it! I can handle it!" He would read a prescription and tell the customer, "OH! You are gonna LOVE these!" This guy, wouldn't be described by anyone as mild mannered. Maybe your particular pharmasists were into downers! Marilyn is prescribed both uppers (ritalin) and downers, (morphine!) and I am proud to say that I have never tried any of them.
I don't wish to learn HOW good they are, because I don't want to become one of those people that I hate.

Guy, I am with you, a spade called. People need to get comfortable in their own skin before they can ruffle the skin of others. The point is that there have been troubles with this couple that have affected you and Marilyn dramatically. Respect is earned, not given. The girlfriend needs help. Don't change your writing, you are entertaining in the midst of your despair. Any luck on the rental? Shelly

Re: Writing about Thug-boy's girlfriend
Shelly,
Today I got a complaint from a meal client (female) about having written about Donnie's girlfriend, the slut/ crack whore. I had stupidly called a spade a spade. The complainer, (A senior citizen blue-nose) also mentioned another posting that offended her, and I admit that, assuming that she was referring to the "come in your mouth" quote, that I was over the top to have even written that. Bad judgement, Guy. I really thought that I had completely inked it out of every paper that got handed to any people who might be aghast (!) at how men talk with each other. I am pretty sure that she probably spent an hour and several erasers seeing if I had originally written what she guessed that I had. Having called the slut a slut, I do not feel bad about. She told Donnie with her own repulsive lips (shudder!) that in the year,maybe two, they have been together, she has spent the night with five different men including her ex-husband and it is safe to assume that none of them were playing checkers all night! He has caught her smoking crack cocaine, in his house with a couple different men, at different times, while his kids were in their room, probably sleeping! She wasn't paying for the crack with cash, I guarantee!
Blue-nose probably thought that I was slandering slut girl unfairly, just because I do not like her. Sisters stick up for each other. Sorry Lady,there was no slander involved. The fact is, that I was being as kind to her as is possible, by NOT writing about the specifics or even a first name. This made no difference to Blue-nose. WAIT! Maybe Blue-nose is Step-grandma, and knows the identity of the unnamed Slut-girl! I don't see how this could have been avoided because I don't know the family name of Step-grandma. She could figure out who is who, because she is the one who paid to bail Donnie out of jail!
Now I will have to refrain from handing out copies of my compositions to all possible women who might be Granny Blue-nose, until I am asked to resume giving them out, to grown up people, because they are missed. Privacy concerns make it necessary to learn Blue-nose's identity by the process of elimination. Until I can figure who has the thin skin, most female meal recipients will be lumped in with one cranky old woman. Too bad, really.

Good luck on the renter
Pharmacists are generally mild-mannered. And they can get you some good drugs, too.

O, Guy, you so crack me up. This is so wonderful. I saw it all. There are so many things I wanted to highlight but I would end up re-posting this in the comment area. I have my fingers crossed! sam

In your previous post you asked “Do you want to trade lives”. Is it rude of me to answer – “No, thanks”. 
You make mine sound like a cake walk. Good luck with the son, the girlfriend, and renting!!!
