My own flight attendant run-in

As a comic on the road I had to fly every week to work the clubs.  One time we were still at the gate and I had my carry-on bag on the floor, getting ready to put it away. “That needs to go under the seat,” said the flight attendant.  I said okay as I was getting organized with my book, snack, etc., “I mean now!” he screamed at me.  Everyone looked up.  He scared me actually, and I shoved it under the seat right away, thinking with that attitude, how does he keep his “people” job.  I wondered what he’d say when he came by with the drink cart but to my surprise, he apologized!  He said he was having a rough day and was out of line.  I didn’t expect that but I also wondered if he meant it or he just didn’t want to be reported (which I would never do). I chose to believe he meant it because he seemed sincere, and everyone is entitled to a bad day.  Having worked in sales and as a waitress, I know it can be challenging to deal with people all day, especially people in the stressful situation of flying today.  I can understand a flight attendant having a meltdown.  I’m surprised that he may go to jail and even more surprised that he has an ex-wife!

Another earthquake

We had a 3.1 earthquake today but I didn’t know about it until I watched the news tonight.  I was in my car around mid afternoon so I never felt it. I can’t count the number of earthquakes I’ve experienced – quite a few in the middle of the night, some at my desk, one when I was going to the bathroom – that was around a magnitude five. I jumped up to get under a doorway but I wasn’t done making the wee wee’s.  (I know, TMI.)  I often wonder what I’ll be doing when the big one hits. Not cutting my own bangs, I hope.

Welcome to my Blog Buddies

I just wanted to say “welcome” to my blog buddies who have sent in their photos (and even those who haven’t). It was Rhonda’s idea to put a page together so we could put a face with certain names that keep popping up and I love the idea. Just so you know, BBs, this blog gets hundreds of visitors but they don’t always leave a comment. I receive emails through the site every week from fans saying how much they enjoy reading this blog. So thanks for participating!

Bozo?

It looks like we have a new look-a-like candidate: Bozo.

The hair color is right.

Sometimes Denis is afraid of me.

And I’ve been called a tramp.  This could work.

Sticks and Stones

I’m putting together a new “Fun Photos” page for the website. I have quite a few unique pictures that area screaming for a caption, especially this photo of me.  So I’m looking for ideas. And don’t worry about hurting my feelings.  

Sticks and Stones, baby!  Bring it!

The new section should be up in a week or two.

This is so annoying!

My newest pet peeve is when I’m watching a show on TV, focusing on the storyline, and just when it gets interesting all of a sudden some guy pops up at the bottom of the screen, walkin’ around down there waving his arms like he has an urgent message I need to know, and then here comes the name of the show, what time it’s on, and blah, blah, blah. Who cares? This is so annoying! I refuse to watch any show that I see promo’d like that. I’ll show them. I guess they’ve figured out that no one is watching commercials any more so now I am being forced to endure these rude interruptions to my favorite shows. And they’re not tiny – they take up half the screen! So now I’m forming a new coalition called B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S (Boycotting All Shows That Are Run Down-Screen). Who’s in?

It’s a mystery

Here’s one of three new Mystery Photos I just added to my “My Photography” page today.

It’s something you probably have at home.

Yours may look very different.
