I’ve had one of those weeks. You know the kind; where you just as soon run someone over as look at them. It seems at every turn I have encountered the foul mouthed, holier than thou, the rules don’t apply to me, individual. If there were pills for patience I would have overdosed. Let me […]
Rick Gualtieri - I’m not a big proponent of violence, but let’s face facts; there are some people in this world for whom a good solid a**kicking would probably do a world of good.
Christi - Sometimes you just gotta go FRIED GREEN TOMATOES?
[Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) is cut off in a parking lot]
Evelyn Couch: Hey! I was waiting for that spot!
Girl #1: Face it, lady, we’re younger and faster!
[Evelyn rear-ends the other car six times]
Girl #1: What are you *doing*?
Girl #2: Are you *crazy*?
Evelyn Couch: Face it, girls, I’m older and I have more insurance.
Lori - Pimple on the butt of goodness!! Lol!! Great article!
Tammy - Rick, I couldn’t agree more. I have a list; a long list. Thanks for the read and the post!
Tammy - Christi, I’m still laughing! I remember that movie oh so long ago. One of my favorites. Oh, if I just could have been Evelyn in that single moment in time. So good to hear form you, thanks for the post!
Tammy - Lori, I call ’em as I see ’em. Glad you got a kick out of it. Thanks for posting your approval. It means a lot!
Laura Lee Carter aka the Midlife Crisis Queen - Thank you Tammy, I needed that! I thought I was the only one noticing the end of civility in our culture.
The way I see it, the best explanation is those experiments way back that showed that overpopulation in ANY species leads to competition and conflict.
Did you see this lately:
Dear Karma: I have a list of people you missed!
Tammy - Laura Lee, no, you are not alone in that assessment. If only the strong survive then I better get my butt to the gym! Happy you enjoyed the read, thanks ever so for posting!
Mel Glenn - A needed column. Speaking of movies, I remember John Lithgow saying in “Terms of Endearment” “You’re rude; you must be from New York.” I think it is a national question. We have forgotten civility and manners. You are there
to remind us of our hopefully better natures.
Tammy - Hi Mel, we are all in this together, aren’t we? Your civility affects mine and vice-a-verse. Yes, it certainly does appear that manners have left the building. Unfortunately kindness went with them. Pity for all of us. So very glad you appreciated the read and came here to say so. Thanks for that!
Kellie - Tammy
I am with ya on losing it over rudeness. I think too many parents these days forgot to be a parent and teach manners to their kids. Too busy trying to be best friends to their children.
Maureen - So ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ – and we need more Evelyns in the world! Thank you Tammy, for the wisdom and smiles!
Tammy - Maureen, the pleasure is all mine. Never a dull moment! Thanks for being here!!
Tammy - Kellie, agreed! Discipline, boundaries and love make good parenting foundations. Add to that compromise, steadfast solidarity and knowing when to be either of those. It’s a tough job, I know. But when you don’t do it, society suffers and people get hurt. Cuz next time I’m likely to run someone over. Kidding….I think. Always a pleasure having you here!
