Hopefully, she also has someone much more competent than you to also help, the poor woman. We have a big watermelon to slice, I hope it’s good, I love watermelon. ---

So it the cops find the murder weapon knife, you are hoping they will confuse traces of blood for watermelon. Expect a knock on your door. My grandson and I made art with sidewalk chalk. ---

Stop polluting our sidewalks with your so-called “art.” I don’t have to work today or tomorrow. Happy New Year! ---

We are all certain you will just lay around the house and do nothing worthwhile those two days. What time is the whiskey bottle coming out? I haven’t had a shot of whiskey in ages. ---

Wow, that’s some decision making going on there, are you sure you didn’t strain yourself? Do you need to lie down and rest from all the brain power you put into that choice? It’s still been very humid, I wish the weather would change. ---

So, you’re one of the millions complaining about the weather but not doing anything about it? Thanks to Cardigan, I have the Kimba the White Lion theme as an earworm. Kimba–Kimba—Kimba–Kimba… ---

Just when I thought some of the posting on here couldn’t get anymore trivial, along comes you. My neighbor just punched his roommate in front of a bunch of neighbors and I live in a very quiet laid back community. ---

Just stop. Whatever it is you did that compelled your neighbor to slug his roommate, and how your actions caused a chain of events negatively impacting your formerly quiet neighborhood, is not really something we want to hear about. Parrots are so cute the way they can talk - I sure wish my dog could talk the way parrots do. ---

Parrots do not talk, the mimic. Get your facts straight. Finally, the busy season at work. More hours and more money! ---

Ugh! You are so materialistic, why don’t you spend some time volunteering? I’ll tell you why you won’t because that won’t pay for the booze will it? I’m very happy it’s Friday and I’m going to have a beer soon. ---

I see you forgot to post your comment, Annie. Do you get these memory lapses often? Maybe you should lay off the weed for a while. I might go visit my sister tomorrow. It’s been a couple of months, but she does live five miles away. ---

I could tell you’re a newbie from your lazy, unimaginative, slack-ass response. After a few chilly, rainy days, it’s wonderful to have a sunny and warm day here on the plains.
