Re: “Grouchiness”

Today I witnessed two separate phone screaming incidents.

Going into the subway, corner Clinton/Fulton, a Spanish speaking man was talking on the pay-phone, eye-bulging screaming at the top of his lungs – test for my Spanish – “So leave then, LEAVE with him, go ahead.”

Another on street screaming in a purple rage into cell phone, lunch-time, in English – “Listen to yourself, I am just talking to you and you come back to me so defensive like this, go F**k yourself.”

But the worst, this am walking to the subway, I met the the sweetest man in the world, an elderly oldtimer on my block, the unofficial mayor, who told me, brokenhearted, that two days ago, one of his grandsons killed his own brother over a girl.

Whoa. Kumbaya.

TextperV, that’s why the ice cream is so key – ie something for both of us to lick on (as you ponder the charts and I wait for you to get the “Oh, I see”)

oh that does it!!!!

first you say “maybe it’s that time of the month” and now “over ice cream”
What are you getting at M4L???

And presentaition charts??? Will they be PG-13?

Pete, you are ALWAYS cranky, and don’t need any special day of the week.
