SOMETHING that can make him stop.. lol Tonight,we went out to eat with
a bunch of friends. I got the salad,he got the grouper. He didn't like
it so,when I wasn't looking, he switched our plates. I said,"HEY! Don't
make me sit on you in here. Put it back!" He just calmly ate my salad!
He finally moved to another chair...with my salad. I grabbed his plate
and said,"You have 2 choices. You can eat it or wear it"! He never said
a thing to me,just ate and smirked.
I said,"AL! Give me my plate!" So,he puts the salad on another plate
and hands me the empty plate. People was laughing so hard.
Finally,after a slight wrestling match, I got my salad and told him he
could not sit by me anymorre. lol So,what's he do? He grabs Karen's
plate and gives her his grouper. He goes,"OUCH"! She kept pinching his
leg til her her plate back. I looked up and everyone was protecting
THEIR plates frm the bully. hahahahaha

of these last few years. Al is incredibly funny and has always been
there for me for 35 years. All our friends know we are like this and
love to get together wih us because Al is like this.
I have to remind myself that Al took David's illness just as hard as I
did. He was a mountain of strength through the whole thing.
He also likes to put a rubberband around the kitchen sprayer and
position it so,when we turn on the water we get squirted in the
face.lol When David had really bad days,it was his Dad who did all he
could to help him and take his mind off his brain surgeries. He'd make
David laugh, took tapes down to the hospital,joke with him and sat with
him when they immobilized his head for 3 days. He was just wonderful
but I know,inside,he was really upset.
But,he's also the man I saw in an empty room,crying when the second
surgery didn't work. I just left him alone.

Not that I can recall, although we do joke with the waiter or waitress
occasionally. And one time in a crowded elevator in a rather upscale hotel
we suggested a group hug.
I can understand where you wouldn't want to make a spectacle of yourself in
a restaurant Joan. I know that each relationship is different with couples,

Yes it is my opinion. I do believe that correct public and actions in

I do not understand either your aggression or your conclusions as to her
remarks.
Sinclair
Janie
then me. Our fun in a restaurant does not include pillow fights,
running around the table or standing on chairs. Other diners don't even
look our way.
Putting my actions on public display is my perogative. No one should
tell me how to act. We have a lot of fun. We don't constantly play
practical jokes on each other. If we didn't laugh,we'd cry because our
lives have been hell.
At any rate,I'm not changing. I know many people here don't like me.
Nothing I can do about that. But I also have a lot of friends who think
I am nice and funny. That's because I am.
Anyone is going to be aggressive if they feel they are being attacked.
I just can't understand why people who don't like me read my posts.

I like you, Janie. Among other things, you remind me of what an unhappy
life my mother led. I grew up hearing her "What will people say?". She
was a school teacher hired by the community capable of also firing her, and
knew we lived under a microscope. A trustee of the local school board once
threatened me with loss of my mother's job because he thought *I* set a bad
example to the community. I don't make it a habit of flying in the face of
all I see in public, nor do I sit quietly with my folded hands in my lap. I
occasionally draw looks when I laugh too loud, or when I make others laugh,
but those who don't like it can kiss my ask my wife if she doesn't agree....

disrespectful for my son to wear his hat in a restaurant. I told her
she knew why he did. She said,"Oh,you can't even see those scars". My
reply was that I hoped she never had to have some really bad happen to
her because only then would she realize how unimportant a hat is. It
doesn't matter that others don't see the scars. It only matters he
knows they are there. With a shaved head,his poor skull looks like a
map of the United States. He can hardly wait for his hair to grow back
in after a brain surgery.
So,I wish all had to do was worry about a hat or the fact that my
family has fun,even in a restaurant. I know the importnt things in
life. If David had not gotten sick, I may not be the way I am. But I no
longer care what people think of me. And whats always amazing is how
they react if I really come back at them.
I have a picture I think is so pretty. It's old and been bumped around
a lot but I love it. A friend of mine kept trying to get me to take it
down because it was "so ugly she could not believe I would buy
something like that". I told her,"Look,I don't particularly like your
dead tree pic but if you like it,that's all that matters. WELL,she took
great offense at me putting that pic down. I said,"Felicia,IT DOES NOT
MATTER IF I DON'T LIKE YOUR PIC. IT ONLY MATTERS IF YOU DO".
She still doesn't get it.
I even had a new neighbor say to me when she was introduced to me,"You
know, they sell things to clean ceiling fans". I was astounded that
someone would be so rude and she has never been in my house since.

don't have to bother with me. It's that simple. Nothing was done to
irritate other diners and no one complained. We all had a good time and
we will have our yearly Christmas dinner again next year,God willing.
My friendship with my best friend has cooled because she says I don't
act Christian. Huh? She even wrote down the part of the bible I was
supposed to read so I would know what a Christian is. I now see
very,very little of her and that's just fine with me. If I have to walk
on eggs around people,I won't be around them. If I have to change who I
am to make a person accept me, they aren't worth being my friend.

bad form. If the place allows you to carry on I would probably not choose
to dine there again. If however as you said in a later post no one not at

I am well aware people have gone through worse. But that does not

I spent four days without sleep watching a loved one die. One as close to me

is a drama. In the seven years since I cannot forget it.
Do you think any person on this NG, at our age where we have watched
children, parents and husbands and wives die are the same person they were
before?
Does the milk of human kindness flow only one way in you? How can you be so
hard to others? Is no one else capable of a personal drama but you?
Of course you will not reply any more some one else may have pain, someone
else may watch a loved one die. There are those on this NG who have had
grandchildren with major operations. Our prayers and thoughts for your son
are not exclusive. They include many of our personal as well as cyber

something I would ever say about you....I lost sympathy for you a long
time ago....but sine you neither care what people say, and are entirely
happy with your self. then that is hardly likely to bother you....
Merry Christmas.

Marsha may I say I have nothing but the most sincere admiration for you
and your attitude to life, you are an example to us all.
You have absolutely nothing to be sorry about and I agree with Sinclair.
Thank you for being one of the nicest people on the group...
Merry Christmas
Bobbie..
