When I first met Alan 49 years ago, he had a friend who was always having scrapes. But he had a very clever son who wanted to write. He turned to comedy, and became one of the most famous comic writers of many years. He based his most famous character, Mr Bean, on his father! I can't think of his first name ATM, but his surname is Driscoll. I would love to think that Matthew will do as well in whatever he wants to write.
Thankyou my Saxy....things have a way of working out. We shall see.

Often real life is funnier than written comedy.
I know that when I went to classes, most stories and scripts were based on real life. I did enjoy those classes

Wonderful to have a daughter as a best friend. I am avoiding contact with my daughter right now. She has irritated me so much this week and I bet she does not even know it. I think it is best to avoid contact until I can keep my mouth shut.

When I’m in that frustration now I tell myself the things he did that were good and praiseworthy. It eases my mood.

Glad you got an appointment. Wonder why appointments always fall on the same day when the other days of the week are appointment free.
Good Saxon Lady got an appointment tho bad on that date. I tried 6 or 7 veterinarians before I got one who could see my dog that day. She was bleeding and urinating tho she has never done anything on the floor before.always house broken. Turns out she has a urinary infection. Most vets wouldn’t take new patients or had no available openings. This one was pleasant and reasonably priced. I’ll go to her again but she only has 5 years experience. Son says it doesn’t matter because she’s up on latest information. She even called to ask how my dog is doing on the meds. If anyone is near Price Chopper they sold me her meds for $8 and other places asked for $28 or $25.

I agree with your son. She is up on the latest information and medications. I think the same about a human doctor. Although I often get a second opinion from an older more experience doctor.
Glad it was just an urinary infection. Hopefully will clear in a few days.

Once I had a white couple come to parent night for her black child asking him to celebrate Christmas. Then the black couple came and asked he not celebrate Christmas. The first pair had me scratching my head. I didn’t ask. I told them to instruct him as they chose and I would not have any say in it. I think he accepted treats and then went to the computer to have his fun time while they had Christmas story. Long time ago so I think I’m remembering
right.
I was not sure who was who when another time I was speaking to a couple and the lady referred to the child’s mom looking at the husband. Turned out the husband was a gay woman dressed masculine and the child was her biological son by someone else.
My funniest memory is when I was teaching a small reading group maybe 3 children and the boy said his mom said he couldn’t read the bad word in the book. I didn’t see a bad word so I asked him to point to it. The character in the story was “Dick”. I didn’t know how it was a bad word so the boy explain it was what made little boys different from little girls. I went across the hall and asked my coworker. And she said he was right. We both went to religious schools and homes where we were never taught that word. She learned it from her hub.

I shifted the iPad and lost my longer comment so I will be brief now. I’m happy to read how you all are getting to be with family and friend compared with how we all were kept apart a few months ago. I found yarn which is similar to the expensive one suggested for the jeans jacket. since I knit slow I think I should do the 10/11 directions for the 8 year old. The other says it’s for 8/9 year old. I don’t know if the dad will send me the 3 measurements I wanted...neck to waist, chest, sleeve length. Better bigger than smaller???

I saw a beautiful book of shawl patterns. When I saw it was $30 I talked myself out of it because I have many very nice patterns but this one was enticing. If I’m still craving it I might go back and get it. By then it might be sold. I didn’t get the name.
I’m working my way back from last posts I missed so trying to limit my posts. Trying ...not succeeding.
