Gum Snappin'

I made the mistake of snapping my gum in earshot of Lisa's step-mom.

She was not pleased.

"You know what Dennis [Lisa's Dad] did to a guy at work that snapped his gum? He grabbed him under the armpits, lifted him right up in the air, and told him he'd rip off his lips if he did it again."

Long pause.

"Sounds like a swell place to work," I said 

LOL

Some Great Whovian Quotes

I prefer the quotes from Eleven myself

Waiting

 Waiting at Hamilton for the kids to finish band and voice lessons. Only two hours left! Yay us!

On the walls of Hamilton High School

TJ's 5th Birthhday

Today, on the last sequential date of the century - 12/13/14  - we celebrated my Godson's 5th birthday.

Kourtney and Khloe add to our Christmas

We saw this on "Kourtney and Khloe take the Hamptons" and it's on Lisa's wish list. Don't tell me the #Kardashians aren't good for our society and our economy :)

A Nice Gift I Think

Just dropped Junie off at her First Communion class, along with 24 nativity scene snow globes, enough to give one to every kid in the religious education program. We picked them up for a song (90% off!) before Disney and thought they'd be perfect for this occasion. :)

Dumb and Dumber To

Late last night, with the funeral and the exam behind us, I took Lisa to a movie to try and cheer her up. We chose "Dumb and Dumber To", hoping to get in some laughs, but it was a dud. I laughed only a half dozen times and Lisa was bored senseless. I offered to leave halfway in but Lisa demurred, then fell asleep in the chair next to me and started snoring so loudly I thought she was f'ing with me - which would have been the funniest scene in the movie. Epic fail of a date.

Mary Ann Mobley

A sincere RIP to Mary Ann Mobley, former Miss America, wife of Gary Collins, and distinguished Match Game alumni. :(

Should've Knocked on Wood

Nothing ever happens at South Shore they said, it's the bestestest they raved- ten hours before two squad cars greeted our arrival at the theater lol 

Stop Labeling

Word. - Lisa

 

"once one person cries, everyone does"

 "once one person cries, everyone does"

Lisa: Because you have a good empathetic heart

YaYa: You cried so I cried then everyone else cried

Lisa: The gun salute gets me every time  

YaYa: Fr.

Torts

I'm at Marquette awaiting my three hour Torts final, after starting the day with my father-in-law's funeral. Quite the day.

update: Torts is done. 2,676 words written on six total problem sets over three hours. I had time to re-read my work before I submitted it, and while I can't say it's full of the greatest legal arguments of all time, I sure do write purty.

A Test

Attention FB friends and family. 

For the next week, the job of posting something comical, thought provoking, and such will be the responsibility of Dan. He claims that he can do a far better job than I can so I invite, nay, IMPLORE that you visit his page and see what funny quips my replacement has in store. Feel free to comment also.

 

Thanx,

           Harm

Context: my friend Carlos H. routinely posted very funny material under his own name, material clearly "borrowed" from  a website. I called him on it, and this "test" - in which I reposted lines from the very same website, was disastrous. Unable to think or reason on an adult level, many of his friends thought the quality of Carlo's page went down, called for my head, and were never able to put 2 and 2 together. 

The Funeral Luncheon

A Message that Meant a Lot

 Just got into work from my friend's father wake whose passing is eerily similar to my mother's passing. Days after a Thanksgiving get together, Packers playing on Monday night, realizing you are become the new adults of the family.

So, lost in my thoughts of what I went through those days 11 years ago and what Lisa nd her family are going through I went into work 1 hour early, not realizing my normal start time of 9pm.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with Team Slap -

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

Junie read this 173 page book on our trip (note the water damage from the beach!). It took a little reverse psychology, ala "You'll never finish such a big kid book" but she got there in the end! Nice job kid :)
