I'm definitely working on a Part 3, and truly would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Don't be shy, flop it all out there and show me what you got.<br /><br /> Wait, maybe that didn't come out right. Anyway, keep the suggestions coming!<br /><br />B.Brian Lageosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340054761529754036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673579400115514211.post-75566897681015757972013-03-12T00:18:13.894-05:002013-03-12T00:18:13.894-05:00Hi Rescue,

I'm already picturing a whacked out paragraph or two I can do with that one.

And about that middlin' thing, it always makes me think of Midland, TX, and I'm pretty sure that's not what people mean, because who would want to feel like they were in a place where sand blows around all the time and gets in your crevices, right?

On a side note, I spent a lot of time as a child in situations where animals were lubricated at social events. It was a very confusing childhood... ;)<br /><br />B.Brian Lageosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340054761529754036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673579400115514211.post-58457908745977162552012-05-18T22:43:53.297-05:002012-05-18T22:43:53.297-05:00Hi Susiet,

I had a lovely school chum who would hurl that epithet from time to time, and it took me a while to understand that her misgivings had something to do with a social snafu of some kind. And I'll counter your "you might should do this" with a "I reckon you oughta"...<br /><br />B.Brian Lageosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340054761529754036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673579400115514211.post-36588732410743513562012-05-18T22:25:41.370-05:002012-05-18T22:25:41.370-05:00Hi Anon,

As for your little idiot co-worker, well, once the dumb-ass has started snacking on somebody, there's really not much you can do to prevent the downward spiral.

Sadly, when I took this literally as a child and grabbed a stick of oleo and attempted to perform the requested operation, there were harsh words and I ended up sitting in a corner.

My roommate used to say, "I am just ILL!" It took me a while to understand that she didn't have the flu or a headache, but was just angry. Then the whole "you might should do this." thing always stopped me in my tracks. :-)Lisa Wineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924029943550959553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673579400115514211.post-64915535685639315882012-05-18T02:18:27.674-05:002012-05-18T02:18:27.674-05:00Absolutely LOVED this post!
