I think one of my SIL’s has one of those things on her toilet. If you want, I could see if she’d be willing to part with it.
So, on Friday night, Brandine came up here to tell me she got an order of protection out against Cletus, pointed to her black eye and told me if I ever see him or his truck anywhere nearby I am to call the police . . . Just now, Cletus’ truck pulled up and Cletus and Brandine got out together and went into the house.
Someone explain these relationships to me?
Eve No. Then you’d have to move the fish from the wall in the living room into the bathroom and redecorate. If you want to add that certain something to your bathroom, I suggest either the Bates Motel shower curtain (white with a trim of Bates Motel in blue letters) or the Mad Mother shower curtain (white with a lifesize silhouette of Mrs Bates, knife raised for the kill).
Yes, they really did make these. I don’t know if they still do. I’ve been trying to find them since I got my own apartment.
Re Tiki
It’s not IMHO Tiki enough. It looks more like an Easter Island Moai than A standard tiki bar tiki. Where are the ornamental ridges? Where is the comically undersized body?
You know, she did ask you to call the police if you saw Cletus or his truck anywhere nearby…
It might make living near her utterly miserable, but you may not have to worry about her trying to be your friend anymore.
It really looks more like Jack Palance than a Tiki Head. And I really don’t want to pull my Kleenexes out of Jack Palance’s nose . . .
Well, if you’re serious, this is a pretty good place to start.
Eve, sometimes I feel like I know you. Not only because you post about your personal life so much, but because I think I’d respond the same way you generally do.
But what she really wants to do is direct.
This is another reason, Eve, since those words would probably crop up pretty early in most people’s descriptions of me.
Devilsknew, get real- nobody is nice to everybody all the damn time, and no matter who you are, some people will put you off and you’ll try to avoid them.
Oh, now that is PURE CLASS!!! I wonder if the Kennedys have one?
The laundrybasket/hamper thing though looks pretty practical. My sister could probably use that in college.
As for the book, Eve, just tell her you know next to nothing about fiction and getting it published, as you write non-fiction bios of interesting and semi-obscure Hollywood starlets.
That being said, one of my Barbies is Audrey from Breakfast at Tiffanys.
I told her that, pretty much in those exact words, but it didn’t make a dent in her enthusiasm for “picking my brain” (my brain is already picked to the white meat). But, now that she seems to be back in her hellish, self-destructive relationship with Cletus, I guess any self-improvement projects are down the cow-head-covered toilet.
Eve I don’t think I thanked you for making this all just a bit more interesting, even if you did try to blind me with that cow thing.
If Cletus is back, you might not get your teeshirt. 
By this, I meant life in general. Even when I preview, I don’t
Eve is under no obligation to be friends with all and sundry, let alone white trash neighbors who insinuate themselves into her life. She’s certainly been a great deal more gracious than I would be under the same circumstances.
Hell, I’m white trash, and she has been very kind to me. Eve is a well-bred lady, and none will traduce her as long I have breath (and able fingers to type with).
Anyone rising to the defense of Brandine must not have been around the Emotional Nosferatu type. They’re the sort of person you wouldn’t want to hang around more than once, though if they get their fangs in, you’ll be stuck with them. It’s like the cat that follows you home. Feed it even once and you’re stuck with it.
Ooooh, I feel just like a heroine in a Mrs. Henry Wood novel!
I’ve got good news and bad news: Alt+0151 will beautify your punctuation; however, I can’t help you with Brandine.
I have that Barbie! I think. Is yours the one in the black or the pink?
And, I’d like to remind everyone that, in addition to bonnets, Kountry Geese always wear frilly little half circle aprons.

The one in black.
Your’s?
The wonders of eBay: The Mad Mother Shower Curtain
You can get those at Kmart or WallyWorld, and there’s no shipping charge.
Truly, but the difference here is that Brandine has done nothing wrong other than to come from a different socio-economic and cultural background than Eve. She seems like someone who could use a friend. What strikes me as shameful, nefarious, and deceitful in what Eve has committed here is she’s taking advantage of someone who seems to genuinely respect her and trust her. She derides this girls aspirations and furniture while pretending to help her and befriend her. Petty and sad, Eve. Petty and sad.
She’s a freakin’ joke to you Eve!
You steal people’s dignity and soon you lose yours.
Indignant, Eve?
:mad:
