I'm Having Chest Pains And Here Comes An Eight-Top
And it's the "ten-tooer" people to boot - you know the kind - they come ten minutes before your shift is over and the kitchen WAS nice and clean. And dear sweet Amy is the bartender so I am never seeing this tip. Plus it was "Buc-A-Burger" day but that wasn't good enough for them - they wanted labor...

Is This As Good As It Gets?
It was just like a scene from that movie with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. I refused to wait on Charlie Burke Friday night. Charlie is 60-ish / had money / never been married and no kids / handsome for an older guy / but obnoxious and sexually disgusting. Charlie comes in every Friday night for...

The McClain Boys Peed On My Mother
As we sat down for Christmas Brunch, my mother shared the story of how the McClain boys would pee on her when she played numbers for her grandmother. I thought - what an odd way of bullying / no rocks / no sticks / she said they were poor / there still had to be a tree somewhere. And what made them...

I Am Getting A Tooth Pulled For Christmas
Tomorrow at 9:45am they are putting me under and taking out my wisdom teeth. I have already planned my demise / I will have a heart attack / possibly a stroke / maybe they will pull all of my teeth except the 2 front ones and I will look like a Beaver. The Christmas Beaver. I hadn't planned on this...

Just When You Thought It Was Over
It begins again. Been in love 3 times - they loved me back - pretty good odds it isn't happening again. I have known Dave for at least 10 years / very boyish good looks / works out / music teacher at several high schools / and attracted to younger women. He always prefer younger women because he...

The Grinch Is Giving Back Christmas
Funny thing about when your children grow up - they can become your best friends. My son (26) called me last night and was very concerned about the situation between myself and my daughters. Although he and his wife haven't started a family yet - he really put things into perspective for me. And...

I Feel Like Ebeneezer Scrooge
Not that I am cheap or anything - but as I lay awake in bed last night unable to sleep - I felt like I needed a visit from some ghosts. Nothing feels right this Christmas (in fact all year) and maybe that would shake me out of this funk I am in. The Christmas after my father died felt strange - but...

The Only One Who Cared Was Wilkie
Yesterday we had some major wind and rain all day. There is one window in the bar / in-between the kitchen and seating area / that is hinged with an old turny thing. I was standing there and a huge gust came swooping by / cast the window ajar / smacked me right in the face / and knocked off my...

Where Do I Go From Here?
The indifference that I feel toward my daughters right now is staggering. I have never felt this way in my entire life. It is just awful to not even want to speak to either of them. My son and I definitely had some pretty bad moments, but we have worked all of that out. I don't want to buy them any...

I Am Cancelling Christmas This Year
As I sit here writing this post - I am having chest pains. I had a huge argument with my 18 year old daughter this morning about her hair straightener - which then led to some added bantering about her moving out at my request. My child support was mistakenly canceled on her 18th birthday instead of...
