Paraprosdokian Of the Week

A Friend sent me a list of these. I thought it would be fun to share them

Paraprosdokians are phrases or sentences that lead us down the garden path to an unexpected ending.

Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good Evening,’ and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.

Busy day today

Dropping the car off to have the front end repainted AGAIN!

Then off to EDD to stand in line so that I can actually speak with a human being instead of playing in their  telephone system and never getting anywhere.

I still can’t believe that after 5 hours of dialing, the best I could get was into their automated system only far enough for them to say they couldn’t talk to my right now and then they hung up.

It’s an effective system if you don’t want to deal with the public.

I’m planning to have the laptop with me so If there’s any time I’ll be trying to write. that is as long as the hives keep clearing and I’m not being driven mad by the itching.

Yesterday, there was a “Come to Jesus” meeting with the godbrat. He’s been doing shit like starting a load of clothing then saying that he’s going on an errand, Only to be gone all night leaving wet clothes sitting in the washer. It’s gotten under the other halfs skin because it’s just plan rude. 

I don’t like the saying “I’m going on an errand” which leaves the expectation that he’ll be back in an hour or two only to have him show up the next day. To me that’s on the raggedy edge of lying. It’s not fair, not acceptable, and honestly… if he was doing stuff like this at home I totally get why his step-mom was getting pissed off about it.

I honestly don’t think it’s malicious, the kid has all the attention span of a gnat. I can see how it would piss someone off because it’s essentially a cock block situation.

SO we’ll see if the “Come to Jesus” meeting has any effect.

Frankly I didn’t feel up to having the talk… I was itchy and irritated. That would have been a bad combination especially since I already have trouble knowing when to stop.

Hope everyones day is a good one.

Off to the races…

It Sucks getting old…

The Doc decided to add a medication to my regimen.

I took the first dose Friday morning and have discovered something that I never knew about before.

Hives!

Within 10 hours I’d broken out all over and I’m so itchy I’m loosing my mind. 

I will never ever tease my dog about having to wear the “Cone Of Shame” again.

All I want to do is scrub myself with steel wool, or just peel my skin off completely

My wrists, hands, feet were swollen and my hands hurt in a way I never knew was possible.

Forget water boarding give me one of these little pills and I’ll tell you ANYTHING.

The large welts on my arms are starting to go away but the itching on my legs is driving me crazy. I am frankly amazed that only little pill could cause this kind of annoyance for going on 3 days.

The itching has messed up my concentration so bad that I haven’t been able to read, write, or much of anything since Friday. I spent yesterday dozing with the assistance of Benadryl every 6 hours.

Problem is, there’s a lot of stuff I needed to get done this weekend.

So guys, before your Doc gives you some drug… as him if he’s ever taken it and what it did to him.
