So, do you ever watch some of the crap going down these days, be it Twitter rants, bad policy making, rude cashiers, trolls, school shootings...whatever...and wonder: just where are those nice young men in their clean white coats who should be coming to take them away, ha ha, coming to take them away, ho ho, to the funny farm?
I sure do.

Seriously, folks, they're rolling back EPA guidelines and opening up the whole country to policy that will take us back decades?! What about our kids? What about our grandchildren? Don't they deserve clean air and water?

I guess not. As long as someone rakes in the bucks, out future generations can just go to hell. Oh, wait. They won't have to. Hell is coming to them.

Hurray for the Almighty Dollar.

These people are making me grouchy. Grrr...

Have you ever held things that were bugging you back for, like years, until one day the person you've been all reluctant to confront finally says the wrong thing and you just explode all over them and tell them everything they've ever done to piss you off since the day you met them?

Yeah, that never ends well.

Old stuff, by the way, with no explanations forthcoming. I just seem to be in a "Have you ever?" frame of mind tonight.

Okay, here's one: Have you ever sat down with a whole pie with the intention to eat the whole thing by yourself? If your answer is yet, then 1. What kind of pie was it? And 2. Were you able to finish it off?

For those of you wondering: No, I never did that. But once, years ago, I baked a batch of brownies thinking I would take them in my lunch all week. But of course, I had to try one. It was so good, I had another. For the rest of the day, every time I came into the kitchen, I helped myself to a brownie, and at the end of the day...well, needless to say, I didn't get brownies in my lunch.

In my defense, it took me all day to eat them.

Yeah, never mind. That's not much of a defense, is it?

Um...have you ever washed a load of clothes and then forgotten about them for a couple of days? Ew!
What a waste of water and detergent, huh?

Sigh.

Have you ever hated the shoes you wore to work so much that you went to buy new ones on your lunch break?

Oh, what a relief!

Have you ever pretended to remember someone because they clearly do remember you?

God, I hate when that happens! I don't even have the option of running home to drag out a yearbook to try and figure it out, since I lost those things when my house burned down. And honestly, who's to say they remember me from school? Maybe I sold them a movie ticket in 1975.

Oh, here's a good one: Have you ever bothered to return the pen you stole from the bank or the store after signing something?

I'm going to leave you with that.

Come on, people, leave a comment. Answer one of my "Have you ever" questions.

Good night!
