grit and glory

“well then. We certainly plan on that…Say a T-bone, eh? Let’s go for the full.”

Sheesh.
Craziest….I don’t know. I just really wanted to add my own commentary.

Gee in a world full of crazy where do i start….??

How about Burmese Military Junta Generals handing out a single package of food to a ’starving’ citizen of Rangoon in a carefully orchestrated photo-op to show on local TV how caring they are while refusing World Aid and assistance those who do actually care are offering by the million?

People die in misery and agony AFTER the cyclone has ended it’s wrath so a powerful yet paranoid and fearful group can continue to live in luxury.

Now That’s Crazy - and not in a fun way.

Sorry - but you did ask? ::shrug::

<B

So did you go the full? … or not? ::wink::

(and the basic is for what, exactly? Peace of mind while ensuring an emptiness of wallet?)

<B

Thats America for ya! Not like here, where most people don’t even have insurance…hehehehe

Gotta love it!

The airlines that our friend came down on waited until he was in Miami to tell him that he needed the yellow fever shot. (This is a new thing.) So he had to go into town to get a shot that cost him almost 300 buckaroos that takes 10 days to be effective so that he could get on a plane to come to Bolivia for 9 days. So by the time he is back in Texas he will be immune from yellow fever. Crazy!

Your insurance gal needs to get a new line. :-)

It was a month ago in Egypt. I was taking a camel ride and an Egyptian man comes up to me and asks…having fun? Then he proceeds to say that when I get off the camel I “will walk like an egyptian”. Of course, the old song came to mind….

Well you know there are people who would say “No thanks. I don’t plan on getting in an accident so I’ll just take the basic.”

That’s just silly.

I think it’s too early in the morning to remember things. I’ll come back if I think of anything. :)

Niel’s reply was something along the lines of:

“Well, with our busy schedule, we won’t have time for an accident… so go ahead and just give us the basic.”

Seriously.

I’m just shaking my head…

and SNOW in May?! My oh my…

Nice.

Not sure what the craziest thing is. There are so many that I hear regularly, you know, with two boys and all.

rrrrrriiiiiight!

that’s why she gets paid the big bucks i’m sure.

WOW. Did she get employee of the month too?

wow, she’s a winner…looks like someone’s not getting her commission check this month.

look for this girl next week at the McD’s window…
“Would you like to supersize that? Supersize is only necessary if you plan on having a coronary for dinner…so, what’ll it be?”

The car rental agent was being honest… I know we all think different but she was being brutally honest.

Yeah take the full insurance and pay the extra $5 and not get in the accident and it’s your lost of $5 a day.

Take the basic and hope not get in an accident.. because if you do………oh my!!

hey at least you didn’t have to pay the extra $5… right??

Got this the other day on a form that needed to be filled out:

“If you can not read English, return this form to the your local office and we will assist you in filling out the form.”

Duh! :o| !!

Indian Lake Papa’s made me laugh out loud! That is rich!

I can’t think of anything funnier than what your car rental sales lady told you.

A funny (sort of) thing that has been happening to me is the types of advertisements I have been getting in the mail since I passed 65. I expected all the AARP notices, and wasn’t too put off by the “Assisted Living Home” people. However yesterday I got two adverts from different furneral homes. Nothing like be told you must be old, crippled and with one foot in the grave to lift your spirits. :)

lol….
to the post.
AND to niel’s reply!

Hey, loved that comic link you gave me! HAHA!!

Also, I feel bad, but no hair pics today. Didn’t get ready. *sigh* Life of a SAHM. ;-) haha!

Promise though, next time I’m decent…. a pic is goin’ up! HAHA!!

Wow! Was she blond?

brandy — we nominated her for “employee of the month” on our customer feedback form.

papa — that made me laugh out loud!

ed — SHAME!

bran — glad you liked it! i thought of you the instant i saw it. and i can’t wait to see that picture of yours!

I sent you an email. ;-)

Hope you took the insurance! We were sure glad we took full coverage before we even got out of the parking lot while we were in SA!

Funniest thing I’ve heard all week…?

Boy, that’s a tough one because I’ve had a busy week. So…something I saw that was funny recently…

“Do not turn upside down” — a label ON THE BOTTOM of a frozen ice cream cake!

Haha. Employee of the month.

Award Night:

“Wow. Really…This is an honor. All I know is that I tell it to my customer’s straight. I don’t deserve this.” ::tear, tear::

rhonda — oh yeah! i forgot about THAT story! ha ha! :-)

NE — ha ha! i would love an ice cream cake right now… mmmm….

becca — niiiiice.

I hear crazy things all the time but I can’t really think of any of them right now! AHHHHHH! That’s what 6 hours of class will do to ya!

I promise I will come up with something in the next, oh let’s say, 24 hours or so :-D

i’ll be waitin’ for it!

lol, everyone plans on getting in an accident. ;)

(aspaf — your avatar face rocks!)

so. there was a nap that i took at the early part of the vacation. and i was dreaming about your blog.
and then i kept thinking of andrew ronzino. andrew ronzino. andrew ronzino.
wondering who he is.
then i think i remembered he’s your brother.
then that would make your maiden name ronzino?
yes?
no?
or was it all a dream?

Oh my goodness, I get so many crazy comments all the time at work.

My table (on viewing a table set up for 20 people - really LONG table): “Do you usually set up tables like this, or are you expecting some people?

Another table: “Umm, I’m thinking about the pepperoni pizza. Can you tell me what that’s like?” (Keeping in mind that the menu says, “homemade thin-crust.” What else is there to say?!)

I’m sure there’s so many more. They are a near-daily occurrence. You would not believe the kinds of things people seriously ask us.

“Is there chicken in this Chicken Florentine?”
“No, nothing to drink for me. Just water.”
“I’ll have an unsweetened iced tea.” (Tea is brought.) “Can I have some sweetener?”

One lady I remember listed off about 5 carbonated beverages I had never heard of before, and after each one made an expression of disbelief that we didn’t have it.

People are crazy.

annie — man… people are so strange, eh?! :-) i’d imagine in your line of work you see and hear an awful lot of bloggable moments!

mandy — ok. crazy. yes. my maiden name is ronzino. you had a dream about that?! what’s up with that?!?!?!

seriously, its something that has been in the subconscious back of my mind. i was scrolling through all your comments (probably after our beloved Tammy texted me that y’all had busted 1,000)… anyway, kept seeing the name “andrew ronzino” trying to figure out who he was - then realized/remembered it was your brother.
then realized that was your maiden name.
:)
brilliant - i know. i could’ve figured it out when i was awake, but the catnap got my mind to spinning.

that’s incredible.

i very rarely remember my dreams. so nothing like that has ever happened to me!

i remember ‘em a lot.
don’t you get bored when you sleep?

um. i think “i remember a lot of them” was a more accurate statement.
i’m getting really sleepy.
why am i still on the internet?
goodnight alece!!!

for as much as i love and cherish my sleep, it’s never been one of my strong suits… i have a really hard time falling asleep. have to take a melatonin everysinglenight or else i lie awake for hours. my brain just doesn’t stop going. once i’m asleep, i can usually go for hours and i don’t wake up too easily…

and… uh…. isn’t the point kinda that you’re supposed to be bored when you sleep? otherwise… it’s not really sleep… is it???

you need a vacation.
:)
NOW. i’m FOR REAL going to bed.
see.
dang it.
i just miss you.

I wish I could say I chose that face, but I didn’t… it is so funny to me! I haven’t figured out how to upload a pic of myself yet. I keep trying and everytime I do, I just don’t get how to get that box on my picture??? to edit it???? Confusing!

aspaf — click on one of the corners, and with it still clicked, drag it out. then do the same for the others… did that work?
