Quote From: battlepaceWell I must thank you for Bluebird's heritage ... it answers more than I knew I didn't know:)
I've seen your friends call you Kathy now in comes VickI calling you Kak ... what is a boy to understand?
About Vicki yeah, I screwed up her name the first time I wrote it and was trying cover my ass;)
Before, we could correct all the little mistakes after posting and that is when I would spot most extra words, missing words, misspellings, wrong tense, improper punctuation ... but now there is no correction time ... anyway, mistakes make me feel like a moron because I see them ... just too late.
I have a couple more questions, if I may delve into your finely tuned mind ... usually I don't ask many questions, try always figure things out myself ... but ...
HITYL ... shortened form of; Hi to y'all? But I've seen it with variations and am no longer sure.
Figure it isn't the more common usage; Hugging Intensely Taps Yogistic Leanings or perhaps this board is more disturbed than I yet know and it means Horrifically Incinerated Troublesome Yodelling Leech ... really just shooting at shadows here ... so, little help?
Also the feather boa or "she of boa feathers" to quote my new Blue friend;) Small who? what? why? pop into my head ... could use a drawing ... pretty please-r;)
And Bluebird, I'm slowly learning your language and I adore your accent but lack practice the other parishioners have had with you sermons ... got any details on a spiff it describes you well:)
I first read, 120$ spliff ... figured that is a lot of marijuana for a little Bluebird ... and still it didn't explain alot ... or did it;)
Also Bluebird, any name preference? Seems you have a multitude ... trying to ditch former lovers? Huh, nudge, DETAILS girl ... I like Bluebird:) ... although Janetpoo is putting a huge smile on my face:) ... I'm just twittering now ... so, I'll continue with a story ...
I once had a boss who was a consummate liar. We'll call him Albert, any resemblance to real name is intentional:) He lied about everything and I really really mean everything. If it would have been easier to answer a question honestly he would still lie. He rode his employees hard and was a telephone tough guy.
I hadn't been working for him long when he took me aside and asks me to "do him a favor" by telling the client we were giving two coats of paint when reality, as per Albert's orders, was one.
I was offended by the request and turned on him instantly and rather viciously ... "LOOK" I said, as I put my entire five ten, hundred and fifty pound frame to war footing, towering and in his face launched into tirade, "If you want to f**k the client over, go for it, but there is no f**king way I will be your lying lackey. When the client will be dissatisified, and he will be, because of your decision to screw him, you will hang me out to dry, no F**KIN way! If the client asks me anything he will get the exact truth. That's it!"
(imagine more agitation, profanity and stunned look on pudgy Albert's face as he tries to back away from me)
Anyway, he never tried me again, he would do it to other painters, who would then come to see me and relay the message of what we were to say ... I would tell them they were morons, they had now proven to the boss they were liars, untrust worthy and would be checked up on. I wasn't playing that game.
They would then get all nervous ... but it served them right for believing the lie would put them in the good graces of the boss. Instead they got manipulated. While I got a lot of Independence and always was given work while many others sometimes went for weeks without working. Plus I also got sent to work on the higher quality projects.
Anyway, it's one of those things where I really don't care about rank or position and would quit on the spot rather than simply go along with something I disagree with. Keep you ear tuned your inner bluebird, for she knows the path;)
Sue, hi, your friends have been missing you and Bluebird has been waving her wings just about off. I'm bowing to their seeming decent judgement and saying hello:) I'm a friend of Tap's, from the current events board ... I'll try to be gentle, but am not quite house broken yet;)
Timer heaves us out after 20 minutes.
You seem to fit right in here with the rest of us at AH. And any friend of Taps is certainly a friend of mine....LOL
If I read your posts correctly, you are from Canada, I'm just down the eastern coast from you, perhaps you can tell that from my accent... oh, just a sec-, about, touque ,,there, did you pick up the accent now,,LOL
HITYL is "Have I told you lately", it gets used alot around here. There are a few others but my brain is still slow this morning so I am at a loss to give you any examples and well, I can be long winded and hate to have to re-write this post all over again.
I'm 49 next week, diagnosed in Jan with Lupus, currently not working, just got custody of my oldest grandson Jacob, living with my significat other Norm for 3yrs almost 4 now and that just sums up my life at current. Take care and keep posting, luv your sense of humour in your posts........~Sue
