My pleasure, ginnie.  BrightIrish starts my day off with a smile.

Wow!  You have a good memory, original.  That was the neighbour we saw again at the stores.  She was kinda moved out of the neighbourhood when she took a heavy hammer to her boyfriends truck.  The police came that night and took her away and we didn't see her come back.  The boyfriend moved out a week later. All the guys in the street were soooo sad.  And, unfortunately a man has moved in to the house now, and he seems normal - still we can live in hope.

Didn't you write a post way back when about the
neighbor's ass and washing her car or something???

Thanks Mac...
...and thanks for pointing over to blogs I hadn't read!  Just popped her into my favourties folder!  And ya....putting that piece I mentioned online could be a bit slanderous...though I'd love to!

You write well

You may not believe this, word, but in real life it was Ell who said to me "Now do you recognize her?"  There could have been a subtle undercurrent of derision in her tone.

ginnie
Mmm?   Am I going to get the blame if you get caught in the act?  Sorry, ginnie, I didn't realise it was someone in your town; I assumed it was someone you met on your world travels.  Paranoia is good thing, ginnie.  Did you read BrightIrish's thoughts on paranoia for today?

I bet Ell wasn't amused at the 'end' you managed to recognize.

Hmm Mac...
..I think I'll try.  This is a very small town and the company head, in question, would recognize himself as would any of the employees, if what I wrote was put on for all to see.  Perhaps it's a bit of paranoia on my part cuz it's not as if I'm putting it in a local paper!  Not that there is a local paper!  I'm gonna try to 'fix' it!

Taps
That was funny - 'in the neighbourhood,' - Tapsel.  You don't use your own name anyway do you?   And if he just logs on without joining all he will see is the first couple of paragraphs.  There's a great idea, Taps.  Write a blog with nothing but his name for two paras - that'll freak him out - it might make his name end up on Google???

You know, gypsy, I had a premonition that you would laugh at the neighbour's ass.  You have good taste.

Johnmcnab, I made a booboo yesterday.   My ex- dropped by yesterday--you know, "just in the neighborhood".   HAHA   He lives in FL and I live in MO.    During our strained conversation I just happened to mention Blogit and he latched on to that wanting to know about it.   I hope that his short-term memory loss kicks in and that by the time he gets back to his computer he will have forgotten about it.   He's the kind that would join just to see if I have written anything about him.  LOL

BrightIrish
Thanks BrightIrish.  What I was thinking of doing was making the second part of the blog a romantic story which would make readers cry with emotion - but I ran out of time.  Thanks for the information about the Rice Krispies.

ginnie
Sorry about that, ginnie (he writes as he quietly giggles to himself).  The story almost made me throw up at the mere thought of putting one near my lips.  Couldn't you transpose your story and alter it enough to make it impossible for the greedy guest to recognise himself/herself?   What's with this 'exposing' business?  Tell me more.

Hi.. I don't worry if someone that I know reads me because I haven't talked about anyone, yet.  Your story about the marshmellows was really funny, I could see it happening to the poor man. Those little squares are ' rice krispie treats'. As always, I enjoyed the entire post and for what its worth, I beleive you write well enough to have someone wipe away the tears.. if that was your desired effect.

Mac!!!! You man you!!
I was drooling over rice krispie squares before I read that the guy lost his crowns...nothing worse than stale marshmallows!  (That nothing worse phrase can be used for so many things!)  I wrote a post about happenings at the place where Steve works and I ran it by him as I was concerned I might be exposing too much about a certain greedy guest.  He said I was....dammit...it was a good story too!
