Yesterday I wrote that since I'm sick I wouldn't be posting anymore. But I am going to leave the site up in case I someday can resume. After today, don't look for anything new here.
One last tale of yore:
When I was a kid (58 years ago) I worked on a road crew with a bunch of guys from Bulgaria or Romania or Vampire State University. Their language sounded kind of neat so I asked them to teach me some of it. So Ravil says he would teach me one phrase, and one phrase only. He says (this is phonetic): "Eide ostetsa ohna ogranac."
Horse: "What's it mean, oh wise one?"
Ravil: "It means 'Go get me some water.' That's all rookies need to know."
+ + + + + + + +
Okay, that's it. I'm worn out from all that sinning.
But I want to tell you one last thing I've learned about some people in The Old Folks' Home:
I don't have much patience with people who don't have any patience.

Admit it -- this was all a publicity stunt, wasn't it? (Glad you got it up for one more post). Stop that! A mature person would NOT snicker at that!
ReplyDeleteOh heavens, Hoss -- I know it wasn't a publicity stunt. Just my weird attempt at humor. Thanks for stopping by the OkeyDoke.
ReplyDeleteJust keep saying, "okay, one more." We'll all be happy, you'll have your creative outlet, it will help you feel better faster, and you won't have to give up your star status.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Hoss. You know what happens when you stop doing things you enjoy.
"Dw i eisiau dwr" (Doo-wee isho dure) means "I want water" in Welsh.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get better soon and can share some more of those great stories with everyone.
ReplyDeleteLater!
