I downgrade any song that refers to a grown up person by a childish term.

The sun is out today and it’s in the 50’s.

Proud of that, are you? Finally you get off your tuchas and do something instead of watch TV, Mr. Couch Potato!

Going to download some piano sheet music today.

I hope your ability to construct frames is better than your ability to make a work of art.

I went to a tea tasting class at my local library.

Sounds like your weird obsessions are getting very specific. Window deflectors are your be all and end all?

My dog needed to stay overnight at the vet’s, for dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea, hopefully just a stomach bug.

I really hope your dog’s ok. Honestly, I’ve got nothing for that one, keep us posted.

I’m going to be very disappointed when I wake up and tomorrow’s only Thursday. I’ve been a day ahead of myself all week.

Early-onset dementia is a booger.

My knee is less swollen, I hope it’ll be healed in time for my race on Sunday.

Why didn’t you post an innocuous comment? Are you trying to spoil everybody’s fun by ending the thread? Putz.

Yiddish is a good language for insults.

Bet you just had coffee and donuts 15 minutes ago too! Calm down! Next it’ll be obesity, high blood pressure, then heart attack or stroke, stuffing your face isn’t worth that.

My dog’s OK now, thanks. If I post a comment and no one can post an insult or snarky comment, is that “winning” the game?

Olympic athletes are fast! And turtles are slow! Any other genius observations, Captain Obvious?

My dog had fun running at the dog park today.
