Last week I was at DQ with the kids, and I took note of a big concrete post behind where I had parked and told myself to be sure not to back into it when we left. Fast forward to us leaving and I’m focused on that post, and my parking assistance is beeping and I’m like, don’t worry, parking assistance, I’ve got my eye on that nasty old post. Fear not! And then I ever-so-gently back into a parked car I didn’t see at all. A lovely green convertible with two older folks in it. I step out and apologize. We assess the damage, of which I see none. But the old guy thinks he sees a little dent. We compare to the other side of the car, and he realized it was just the normal contour of his car’s body, no dent or scratch. A miracle with today’s cars. So he says, I guess we’re fine, and I walk away. Then I notice he has a Washington plate, and I say, “Hey, do you live on the Point?” (local name for our exclave). He says yes, we get to talking and it turns out he and his wife live on my street, four houses away and I’ve seen him and his cute dog many times from afar. We chat for a bit and I say if he changes his mind and sees a scratch, he now knows where to find me! And then I got in the car and drive away feeling rather lucky.

This reminds me that 30-some years ago I’m in school in Athens, GA, driving too close behind a co-ed on Baxter Street. She slams the brakes of her CRX at a light. I do the same, but hit her bumper. This time, I def did damage. I get out while she walks back to look. I’ll never forget, she scans the damage and goes, “Hmm. Well, my dad’s just about to buy me a new car, so we don’t have to worry about this.” Gets back in her CRX, and takes off without a care in the world.

Everyone seems to be doing such interesting things these days.

The most interesting thing that has happened to me since last Thursday's play experience was the Mother's Day lunch at the club.

It was a great lunch, featuring all the same menu items, but some prepared differently. There was beef, fried/baked chicken and chicken strips for meats.  We had green beans, lima beans, corn, sweet potatoes and macaroni-and-cheese.  It was a buffet line and we told servers what we wanted.  I had veggies and a piece of fried chicken.

Dessert was a slim slice of pecan pie.

Sitting directly behind me was a local celebrity: Jane Jenkins Herlong, a former Miss South Carolina in 1979 and now a published author and motivational speaker.  She and her husband Thomas are "acquaintances" (i.e. I have met them both) and they live on a peach farm in Edgefield.  She was raised on a tomato farm and had many rural experiences that add to her natural wit and charms.

That's all I know about her other than my mom had a book she wrote called "Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops".

I truly live an extraordinary non-life, do I not!!

It is time to get a cup of coffee and begin my day.

I am up much earlier than usual because of my "phantom" doorbell.

Actually, I have three doorbells, and I am not sure which one it is I hear.   I think it must be an electrical issue in that I occasionally hear the doorbell ring one time.

I think I've heard it during the day when I am awake, but don't really recall.  Most often, I  am either in bed or napping when awakened by the bell.  It only rings once. 

This morning, I could not go back to sleep, so here I am.
Title: Re: THE TALE OF THE DALE
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 17, 2023, 05:53:10 AM
One last thought on the doorbell:

Until I moved into this house, I had never had a doorbell awaken me unless there was someone there to ring it.

What I hope to accomplish with this thought is to rule out a psychosomatic symptom.

Then again, it may be a ghost.

Yesterday, in a local FB group I belong to, a person asked if anyone would give her advice on dealing with life.

I suggested:  Never seek advice from strangers on Facebook.

For some odd reason, the post, which had quite a lot of responses, disappeared completely.

Last week I was at DQ with the kids, and I took note of a big concrete post behind where I had parked and told myself to be sure not to back into it when we left. Fast forward to us leaving and I’m focused on that post, and my parking assistance is beeping and I’m like, don’t worry, parking assistance, I’ve got my eye on that nasty old post. Fear not! And then I ever-so-gently back into a parked car I didn’t see at all. A lovely green convertible with two older folks in it. I step out and apologize. We assess the damage, of which I see none. But the old guy thinks he sees a little dent. We compare to the other side of the car, and he realized it was just the normal contour of his car’s body, no dent or scratch. A miracle with today’s cars. So he says, I guess we’re fine, and I walk away. Then I notice he has a Washington plate, and I say, “Hey, do you live on the Point?” (local name for our exclave). He says yes, we get to talking and it turns out he and his wife live on my street, four houses away and I’ve seen him and his cute dog many times from afar. We chat for a bit and I say if he changes his mind and sees a scratch, he now knows where to find me! And then I got in the car and drive away feeling rather lucky.

Lucky and with a great story.

This reminds me that 30-some years ago I’m in school in Athens, GA, driving too close behind a co-ed on Baxter Street. She slams the brakes of her CRX at a light. I do the same, but hit her bumper. This time, I def did damage. I get out while she walks back to look. I’ll never forget, she scans the damage and goes, “Hmm. Well, my dad’s just about to buy me a new car, so we don’t have to worry about this.” Gets back in her CRX, and takes off without a care in the world.

I suggested:  Never seek advice from strangers on Facebook.

For some odd reason, the post, which had quite a lot of responses, disappeared completely.

I was maybe 19 when I backed into a car in the parking lot.  I only tapped it, still I wasn't sure what to do.  While trying to determine if I did any damage to the other car, the parking lot attendant walked up and  inspected the car with me.  He then looked at me and said no way did I put all those dents into the car, said don't worry about it and go ahead and leave.  I thanked him and left.

Yet, time and again I hear it pronounced with four when folks add an "i" between the "v" and "o" and change the pronunciation from

MISS-chuh-vuss to Miss-CHEE-vee-us.

It is not an an alternative pronunciation.  It's a regionalism

And it gets my goat every time I hear it.

There's a tab on the Firefox home page "What the heck is Crab Rangoon Anyway?"

Kind of not a new thing. Any Crab Rangoon fans here on HHW?

I like it but never order it anymore as it's a bit rich.

Poor sleepy Jane. I wish a quick recovery to you. It may indeed be pollen-inflicted, as I've heard that is quite heavy this year.

It was lower than I expected yesterday.  I should look again.

I just have to have it done on Friday or my doctor will cancel my appointment on Tuesday.  Insurance wouldn't cover the test before Friday.

I am going to make the doctor's appointment a few days later next year to allow a bit of leeway with this test.

I haven't ordered Chinese takeout in a long while, but it used to be that they were throwing free crab rangoon into most of my orders back in the day. I always found them a bit rich.

The eulogy went well....I did have to hold my papers because the podium was a bit low to read with or without my glasses....

The signing of the song was a big success - I had to do most of the signing and at about shoulder level instead of chest level so everyone could see.

There were very few dry eyes left in the house....and many nice comments from the family followed.

Thanks.  There are several reasons that I'm driving her:  she only lives about five minutes away from me; the transmission on her car is going out; and she has some problem walking, so she'll be using a cane in the show.

Then, I went into rehearsal at my appointed call time and instead of working the Mr. and Mrs. scenes, the director felt that it was more important to work "Putting it Together" and "Sunday," the act one finale version...which was fine.
