As everyone thought, she smashed her way to the side breathing heavily and worrying about the water dying her hair green!
Mr Man,, of course, arrived at just the right time and I think there might be a gentle hint from him that she really shouldn’t try to do anything - she hasn’t done before! Yolanda just snorts, hymmpth!
Three Good Things;
1. I hate to put this down in words but the phone went at teatime and it was an old publishing Company that won’t take no and keep on ringing me for several years! John answered and told them Margaret had died 3 days ago and he was so upset - his voice broke and you could hear the tears! Heck! They promised to remove my file. They promised to do this 2 years ago!
2. Fish chosen for Friday night was Terakihi. Not as expensive as Blue Cod but when fresh, just the best!
3. Got my Blood Pressure Monitor delivered! Read the manual, applied to ‘me’ and wondered if I should call an ambulance! haha! Honestly, I don’t feel any different!
yay! mr. man to the rescue. awww! that's so sweet! aces, maggiemae.
re your number 1. happened to me so many times when I still had my landline. I've been dead so many years and so many times but people still keep calling to offer insurance and all that stuff. :-D
Ah he's fished her out...I expect he just wanted to see her with her wet swimsuit on! Oh dear you have given me such a laugh tonight....long may you continue! It's enough to give anyone blood pressure!
@happypat says just what I was going to say...
#3 My Blood Pressure Monitor always knows better than our family doctor; she calls that 'the white coat's syndrome'
Oh i so love 365...! My blood pressure varies,don't take it too much,makes you paranoid if its a bit high..
Mr man should have dived in to the rescue..ready to give her the kiss of life
@grammyn It probably won't make any difference. The company seems to change staff like some people change their minds! New ones come in and take over the files then ring regardless!
Pleased to hear Yolanda survived her latest encounter. No wonder your blood pressure goes up. Surprised the BP is still a problem after you died though.
Awwww- hooray for Mr. Man! Time for a few swimming lessons Yolanda so that your hero doesn't worry too much. LOL I once read a humorous article on how to deal with unwanted telephone solicitors. If you answered a call and it turned out to be a live person you could 1) listen to their spiel for a few seconds and then shout with full force and much fear, "NO!!!!" and hang up. 2) after they ask how you are doing today say, "this has been a horrible day. my dog died, I just learned my sister has incurable cancer, my husband is out of work, we can't pay the mortgage and are about to be evicted, I have a migraine but can't get the medication because it's not listed on my insurance plan... and so on until they hang up on you. Obviously this takes some skill because you can't really take a breath or they will interrupt. 3) Tell them you'll buy what they're selling if they'll buy what you're selling and make up a company you represent. I have not done it justice, but I did use number 2 once and it worked!
@olivetreeann John doesn't like people like supermarket checkout people who say, 'how has your day been"? He generally replies, 'Awful'.. .. and they take absolutely no notice!
I loved reading all your humorus stories! Especially about the phone call and you passing away to get them from calling again! I just received a piece of mail last week addresses to my dad. He died over 13 years ago and I didn't like the reminder.
