In reply to Upon my soul! You detest Barry?! :( » Gabbi, posted by Dinah on July 30, 2002, at 5:47:17
I must clarify I do not detest Barry Manilow, no, I am sure he's a kind lovely man,
But I think it was Denis Leary who said "I want to drink beer out of his skull"NO Not that extrememe either but I certainly am somewhat ashamed of having the dubious gift of knowing the words to his songs without being an "appreciator"
I love what you wrote about the football game,your husband sounds really funny, and like he likes you for your quirkiness. True?
I dated a guy for two years, TWO YEARS, and he knew I worked with the mentally challenged, was a vegetarian, a conscientious consumer blah blah,
and We were watching T.V on the anniversary of Martin Luther Kings death, and there was a commercial advertising an upcoming biography of him, and of course it had a clip from his "I have a dream" speech.So I said " Oh big deal you have a dream we all have bloody dreams, I hate that, there is nothing worse than waking up and having someone give you all the details of the dream they had the night before"
Ahem, Dinah, would I need to explain that I was dripping with sarcasm and pretend "shallowness" to you? and you've maybe "known" me for a month. Well, I had Martin Luther King and his principles explained to me by this man ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHAND THEN
A while later he was tut tutting about the horrors in Bosnia, and I shrugged and said "well its not like we were planning on going there for holidays or anything" Once again... the explanation..
Well lets say I haven't found my soul mate yet.
And the deflating,and not directed to you disclaimer. Its the P.C stuff I hate having to defend..Other than that I would hate to think anyone took what I said as a personal slight and don't mind making sure they don't
When I find things particularly horrifying and indescribable I make comments like that, but only to people I know, I'm not trying to make light of anything, its the only way I can "deal" if I can't actively help.
Super Doc... Not much to say about this visit, but I see him again in two weeks
