I saw this picture taped to top of the checkout counter at Clary's Restaurant in Savannah last sunday, and I thought it was a hoot. If you haven't eaten there, it's very good food and expect to wait in line if you are there during the regular lunch time.
Thanks, Two Auntees. If and when I'm in Savannah, I'll try to keep Clary's in mind and not go at regular lunch time.
MadPriest, the cartoon received a good many comments on Facebook, but few here. :-( Facebook is the place to be. Blog comments are mostly not where the action is.
My numbers haven't dropped. Quite the opposite. People read my blog posts and then comment on them over at Facebook. So, I try to post on both sites. In fact, I quite often post stuff just for Facebook nowadays.
But Facebook people don't like clicking "more" so if you want to be longwinded about something it is still best to do so on Blogger. Jokes go down well on Facebook as they are perfect for the attention span of the folk over there. As longas they are not long jokes, of course.
My numbers are not dropping, just the number of comments here. Numbers are quite good, in fact. I usually post in both venues, but I get a better response at Facebook, where I really would rather not be. But all the peoples are there, so what can you do?
They are there but they are also here. That is why our numbers have gone up slightly since we started posting on Facebook. It's just that they don't like all the rigmarole involved in posting a comment on Blogger. So they post their comments over on Facebook, even when they have read the whole post over here.
I don't want a perfect man; they are too hard to live with (or I suppose they would be, anyway). A good man would be just fine. I was blessed with one. Ready for another. Just saying.
Just as I thought, Mimi is running a gentleman's dating service. I wondered why her blog was so popular. It couldn't possibly be due to the jokes she posts.
MadPriest, I'm thinking a non-smoker for Paul, although he should speak for himself. I've known a few good men who smoked, but not many - especially now that we know the evils associated with killin' the cancer sticks.
Well, this is off topic, but I gotta say it: Mimi, your new profile pic is super! Yew gettin' younger or what?
"gettin younger is an 'in' joke here. My hair has been white for quite a while, but about 2 years ago it started growing in a black streak in the front. I asked the Dr. how that could happen and he sighed (like this is one more stupid question!!) and said "Maybe you're growing younger." Peace, nij
Yes, people do ask and no, I still don't know why it did that. When I was visiting my daughter in CA recently we took ourselves off to Sally's (hair products of all sorts) and bought some (ash blond)remedy :>). Was ever tired of looking like a 2 legged skunk in reverse!
Is it your birthday today?( Now Saturday)If it is, happy day! Even if it isn't, happy day anyhow! nij
Nij, today is not my birthday. I meant I was a year older since the previous profile photo. However, I will appropriate your wishes for a happy day even though it is not my birthday. :-)
78 already?! Doesn't time fly. It seems only a couple of weeks ago that we were celebrating your 77th. At this rate I might still be around for the shindig on your 100th.
Well, at the rate you are ageing at the moment we should be celebrating shortly before next Easter. Do you get presents and stiff every two weeks as well?

ReplyDeleteWell, they are never going to find the perfect man if they sit around gossiping like fishwives all day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Two Auntees. If and when I'm in Savannah, I'll try to keep Clary's in mind and not go at regular lunch time.

ReplyDeleteTry a little experiment. Announce to the world that you are a lesbian at Wounded Bird only and see how many comments you get over on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you try the experiment? Go ahead. Announce you're a lesbian on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI've already announced that I want to be a lesbian next time round.
ReplyDeleteI don't want a perfect man; they are too hard to live with (or I suppose they would be, anyway). A good man would be just fine. I was blessed with one. Ready for another. Just saying.

ReplyDeleteA good man is hard to find, but I'll do my best. Send in a picture, Paul. Oh, I see you did.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Paul's full resume, please.
ReplyDeleteSmoking or non-smoking?

Peace, nij
Nij, thank you! Actually, I'm a year older than in the previous picture. You made my night and my day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing about the black streak in your white hair. Do folks ask you if you dye the streak? Maybe that's a stupid question, too. :-)
Yes, people do ask and no, I still don't know why it did that. When I was visiting my daughter in CA recently we took ourselves off to Sally's (hair products of all sorts) and bought some (ash blond)remedy :>). Was ever tired of looking like a 2 legged skunk in reverse!

ReplyDeleteDoesn't time fly.
It seems only a couple of weeks ago that we were celebrating your 77th.
At this rate I might still be around for the shindig on your 100th.
Doesn't time fly.
ReplyDeleteIt do, MadPriest, it do. If we're both still around for the 100th, I hope you will pop over for the big shindig.
Well, at the rate you are ageing at the moment we should be celebrating shortly before next Easter. Do you get presents and stiff every two weeks as well?
ReplyDeletePresents and stuff!
ReplyDeleteAt your age you're probably already stiff :-)
Oh! I'd read another meaning into your 'mistake'.
