Important Stuff -- Or Not: Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be ea;opsnidfieo;nha 58. I have achieved some milestones. I have lived longer than the five years some idiot cardiologist said I would live. I have mourned the loss of a girlfriend longer than we were together. I'd like to maybe go out and have a good meal. The great thing about eating alone is that the entire kitchen staff won't come out with a birthday cupcake and sing Happy Birthday loudly enough to attract the attention of the patrons in the restaurant next door. The bad thing about eating alone is....eating alone. Often when I walk into an eatery, the hostess says, "Are you dining alone tonight?" My standard response is, "Yup, 13 years now." That brings on a laugh, depending on the age of the greeter. The people around here love to eat out. The restaurants are filled every night. And if you aren't there by six p.m., you are waiting out in the street. I think eating at an upscale restaurant that early is a little tacky. If you're going to eat that early, you might as well go to Denny's. Eight is the classy time to walk into a fancy restaurant. Anyway, happy birthday to me.

Happy Birthday. And the next time you take one of your road trips, schedule some time to make a stop or two along the way- Michael and I would love to take you out for a drink and dinner (the drink being milk...)

If you don't go to eat until eight, is the line shorter because everyone else was there at six?

Have an enjoyable meal. I rather like eating alone--just me, the food and book. :); 2:55 PM

Lone Ranger said...: I really can't say what my favorite meal would be. I have so many favorite foods and many of them aren't served anywhere or are served at different places, so I'd have to drive around to get a full meal.; 8:33 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
