I'm listening to the 6pm news...
and suddenly hear that awful, awful sound.
That childish voice.
That monotone whine that could only belong to one person.
I grabbed the remote and muted him.
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
It took me seconds, but I guessed correctly I think.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteOh, boy, he is plain awful. Tom has another good one on him here ...
ReplyDeleteIris; that whiny voice! I'd expect that from a five year old being sent to his room.
DeleteI NEVER expected him coming back at all!!! Any 5 year old is more mature, I think... How could that have happened... Tom has a great series of many countries making fun of him using his voice, but maybe you´d get very aggressive, LOL.
DeleteHow I wish he could be muted permanently.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I wish the same.
DeleteI avoid that sound always. Can't imagine working with it going.
ReplyDeleteBoud; I couldn't possibly work with that, I'd have to quit.
DeleteHe's a gift to mimics, though.
ReplyDeletejabblog; he is for sure.
DeleteHow can any authority figure use thuggish, utterly threatening speech for half the time or more, and the monotonous whine the rest of the time??
ReplyDeleteHels; it's incomprehensible.
DeleteGood you muted the childish whiner.
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; I worry that my "mute" button will wear out.
DeleteIf you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed; yes, that's the one.
DeleteI grieve for our world.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I do too.
DeleteOh my R. lol. I just switch off, not the TV, myself.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; If I switch off I fall asleep.
Delete.... and Clive Myrie speaks so HIGHLY of you!!
ReplyDeleteArcticFox; who is Clive Myrie?
