silliness time.

my dryer will not DRY CLOTHES unless I turn it on.  so crazy.......why doesn't it do it's job telepathically?  ......and we already know someday it will.  good news or thoughts of freaky things to come???


woke at 6 am uncertain.  get up?  shower?  try to sleep?  i heard a voice from deep within shouting GET UP YA LAZY BROAD......so up I got.  Showered, dressed, meds.....drug in the dirty laundry to laundry room central --- lots of it.  Spilled something purplish red on the comforter........pretty sure it was me & not the fake ghost guest.  having a fake ghost guest can come in handy for blaming of all manner of things.  adopt one today. (i call mine fake GiGi....dorky all the way)


----put the trash bags on an old broken office chair on wheels & got everything to the curb.  such an easy way to transport trash.......still tossing the chair regardless.  step one in the plan to tidy the garage.


before i forget i must place a notice to all birds of the air:


DEAR FREAKING BIRDS.......


normally we are friends, friends that i admire very much.  however, the last time i was out, someone, or several someones & YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE....POO POOPED ON MY CAR.  it is grossness personified.  truly nasty.  do i leave doo doo on your nests? 


large plops of poo poop....do i come to your trees, your bushes & do my business?  no....no I do not.  I expect better of you and yours. 


...and then i thought, perhaps i am being overly critical & judgemental?  when have i ever put a tiny roll of toilet paper out there on my car antennae for your personal use?  i mean you should probably bring your own like campers do......but maybe i should be more thoughtful and place a tiny roll of soft tissue for your use?  for all i know your bird council has met about the many long unjust issues facing the bird community........like the fact that you only have outdoor accomodations, like statues, park benches, cars, buildings, the backs of unfortunate people the world over........


i know this happens because it happened to me.  i was trying to impress a very gorgeous latin man named Ivan Coehlo when I was a lovely young girl of 19......and one of your own, a certain seagull dropped a load onto my beautiful previously clean skin.....whereupon it rolled down my back onto my pretty sundress.....which was all for Ivan's benefit.  This was the first and last time Ivan invited me to walk along the marina......and I knew it would be so (for who wants to marry & create a family with a girl who attracts poo poop la doo doo from the bird population.  Now he saw me as a bathroom station for winged ones everywhere ......so what could he do but begin to court Nancy Curran.  Tall, skinny not me Nancy Curran.  sigh........by now you'd think I'd have recuperated from this humiliation.  think shmink.....hah!  (and yes, they GOT MARRIED!,NOT THAT I'M STILL BITTTTTTTER!)


And yet...I still wanna press charges.......at a later date I discovered quite by accident after consuming a few libations around a campfire with friends & new acquaintances that I am not the only one to experience this.  Many among us have been dealt a blow by a winged creature from overhead.  One minute our days were carefree and happy ......unadorned by mighty nasty bird excrement and then WHAMMO!  Kuhblewy! ........our lives & reputations were never again the same.  Many of us suffer from PTBDD.  Post Traumatic Bird Doo Doo.


An unexpected diatribe, but it had to come out sooner or later.


......and yet, y'all know i am a bird lover....so please, if you can look up and see some of our winged friends please put in a good word for me....because how will fake Edward with the gorgeous eyes and silver hair find me? court me?  or woo me for life if the birds should this happen again now in my golden years?.........i think fake edward and i could be very happy......fall in love......share fake adventures......from ....well from a very low key perspective.  it occurs to me that if fake edward should date me it would have to be primarily bedside........and so not in a hot, sexy way.  (did i just type that out loud???) (please keep that between us) sigh...........darling fake edward, get me a fake bed jacket....blue i think.  something frilly & sweet......we'll hold hands & sing in the sunshine.


your silly bird loving friend despite the trauma of PTBDD.....have a wondrous day.

Oh, my dear Ruthie. I would love to meet Gigi someday. I think I have an imaginary friend too. She keeps bumping into me and making me spill my coffee.

What a sad story about Ivan! Those darned birds must pay for making your lose your Latin lover! How could he pick Nancy just because she didn't get crapped on? That's just cold!

Smiles to you, my silly friend.

Oh good grief, Ruthie! I shouldn't come read your journals when I have to pee. I'm laughing outloud, sitting here, all by myself. I'm sure my daughter can her me in her room. She knows I'm not on the phone......busted again! So, I shall go pee, smiling all the way to the Toidy!

I will surely look ( with a snarky glare) at my winged friends and plead your case about the PTBDD, and all the resulting drama and tragedy in your life! How kind of you to think about their plight of no toidy tissue!

Off to fix my bladder. I still have laughitis from reading this journal and the ensuing visuals!

Hahah! Your journal made me smile from ear to ear. You are a gifted storyteller. I too have been dumped on by our feathered friends - disgusting! Can't they wait until they are over an open field, or an empty parking lot????? I'm sorry Ivan couldn't handle nature's attraction to you. LOL

You crack me up Ruthie.I was lying here on my bed like a big.. oh woe is me misery bum. All down and blue.I took some valium last night to sleep, so that may be a good part of the story. Anyway I started reading your journal and realized there is a Mrs Chuckle living in here beside Mrs Misery Bum. I love Mrs Chuckle and she loves you so much. Now Ruthie. ? As for Ivan the terrible..well he certainly wasn't good enough for you and a man who can't take a bit of crap is not a strong man.So there. Time to give him the flick. I have an outdoor setting on the veranda and the birds seem to think that the tops of my red seats are their toilet. It drives me mental. They have a whole park at the back of my place and my back fence also.but they continue to use my chairs.
Smart thinking with the trash transportation. Have wheels will travel ! Remember when you dragged the table down that time and those people stopped to ask if you were ok and to make sure you weren't homeless. Ha ha ha. That was so funny.ha ha ha. Oh Ruthie darling, I just love you for making me laugh. You are the best. It feels so good to laugh . I'm so glad I popped over to your world today.
I do actually know someone who has a bird called Edward..Eddie for short. He is a white cockatoo...A bit bald..kinda old...never stops talking.He imitates everyone. Next time I see him, I will say Hello Ruthie and he will repeat it back. Better go. I have such a busy schedule today. That was a joke. I like yours much better. Bye bye Ruthie blue eyes from Georgia. You are nominated Queen of our funny farm.xoxoxoxo
