Don’t you know this town needs every possible person in it for the Census in two years? Thanks for helping lose us some Federal funding and maybe a member of Congress. I voted in a primary election on Tuesday. ---

That’s just wonderful! Did you even look into your choice? Or like the rest of the sheeple you just pushed any lever? Both of my cats are purring. It sounds like a kitty-cat duet! ---

I guess you didn’t notice the feral cat just outside on your windowsill, looking in wistfully and feeling awful and lonely and excluded. Nice. Somebody ripped off my credit card number and now I have to get a new one. ---

That’ll teach you to be so damn careless with your credit cards. I just found out here on the dope that a show I really like is being cancelled. ---

Do something productive. Instead loafing around looking at the idiot box, you could go to the gym. God knows you need to! Got a good report from my dentist. ---

I told that to my grandmother, who wept openly as she thought of the only three rotten teeth that remain in her head. I’m listening to Bach violin concertos. Wonderful! ---

Not so keen on being supportive of modern day composers, are you? Contemporary composers are making a living washing dishes while you relish in the past. I’m going to serve pancakes, bacon, and orange juice on Mother’s Day morning. ---

Carbs, fat, sodium and sugar. Just the thing to hustle dear ol’ Mom into an early grave. Nice going. I just picked out a really nice card for my Mom. ---

Your mom will probably be thrilled you actually gave her a thought this year. It’s very pleasant in here with the sliding door cracked open. ---

Do you even read the thread before posting in it? The post office schtick has been taken already (post #247). But you’re so self-centered you just assumed you were the first person to think of it. Tomorrow I am taking my e-waste to the recycling center. ---

Will someone call the elder protection services? Someone will have to take her to the hospital to remove ants from places she forgot she had. She’s going to remember this for a long long time. You can forget about her will. I sure do enjoy this thread. ---

It doesn’t say much for your character that you like to read mean and nasty things said about other people. I have to go to the eye doctor Wednesday and I’m not looking forward to it. ---

If you’re going to the eye doctor, how can you be looking forward, backward or sideways? And stop it with the straight lines! Big Bang and young Sheldon both have at least one more season to go. Nerdvana! ---

Why, because you were too lazy to put a nice, home cooked meal on the table for your family? Try making an effort next time. I enjoyed a doughnut yesterday.
