The Ghost stories of followers have yet again proved more interesting than my original post. I’ve read most at lunchtime at work and shared some with my workmates who found them highly entertaining .
I finished work at 8 pm
When I’m on day shifts I don’t get home much before a quarter to nine. By the time I’ve collected the dogs from Trendy Carol, fed and walked them, fuelled Albert and lit the fire, I don’t get to sit down until 9.30pm or so.
It was a bit after that tonight because Dorothy didn’t want to leave the warmth of Trendy Carol’s trendy sofa.
That upset me
As I sat down my phone beeped cheerfully
It was a co worker from today
She is my age
The message simply read
“ I’ve found my first bunion, I’ve ran out of Bacardi and my bra is now a dirty grey...I’m too old for this shit!”
I would lay a bet that your bra is definitely grubbier 🤪
ReplyDeleteCruel but true
DeleteHopefully a while before-leakage during a sneeze,cough,laugh or startled x
ReplyDeleteIt must be one of those weeks, I to had the thought a couple of times this week, that I am too old for this shit,
ReplyDeleteYeah it is one of those weeks all right.
ReplyDeleteSame here! As I approach 70 (another YIKES!), I've come to realize I have to give up my plan for getting taller. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found the ghost comments interesting and some worth sharing with your co-workers. I enjoyed reading all of the comments, too.
Hugs!
Some weeks are harder than others. Don't let it get the best of you! Always remember, this too will pass.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that what the urologist said to the patient with the kidney stone? Okay, bad medical humor. :)
DeleteHugs!
get that co-worker some bacardi STAT! the bunion can wait and the bra can be thrown away. but run outta booze? NEVER!
ReplyDeleteSainsburys soft cotton, grey bras...comfortable, cheap, stay grey. Win, win, win!
ReplyDeleteDo they sell online.. :-)
DeleteWell, they did...I just looked at their site to send you a link, and they don't seem to do them now. Sorry, Cherie!
DeleteWhat bra?
ReplyDeleteBut yeah- the Bacardis situation could be dire. Also the bunion which I wish desperately I could say I did not understand.

Featured snippet from the web
Image result for bunion
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. This causes the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.2
What is a bra?
ReplyDeleteA fat vest
DeleteGood thing she can share.
ReplyDeleteI dropped my phone and cracked it, the curtains and curtain rail fell off the wall just as I was going to bed and the cat woke me up 5 times last night.
ReplyDeleteIt's so charming how you inspire people to share.
ReplyDeleteYou really bring out the best in people John.
ReplyDeleteLove your co worker's message - good to have that sort of inteaction in your kind of job - lessens the tensions.
ReplyDeleteWell Covid lockdown has allowed for many of us to be able to rethink our upper body scaffolding and the purchase of a couple of bra top thingys which are stretchy and come in a variety of sizes instead of a brassier might be the way forward for your friend
ReplyDeleteBacardi shop is open now
Bunion is more difficult though

ReplyDeleteI think you are only as old as you feel..well maybe not not if you feel young it should take a few years off.
ReplyDeleteNice alliteration in that text message! LOL
