There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

2342 - Knock knock
You're at home and you do a google search. Someone else in the house does another search. The NSA being ever vigilant puts the two searches together and decides a terrorist might live at your house. The Joint Terrorist Task Force comes for an unannounced visit.
Can't happen? Well don't do a search for a pressure cooker and then a search for backpacks. No matter how legitimate the reasons. You could be getting that visit as Michele Catalano found out. (now comes the point in the post where I decide to do a lot more typing or just give you a link to go to. I think I've piqued your interest enough to...) Here's a LINK!
Knock knock. Who's there? Land shark. WHO? Land shark.
I have a way to create jobs and get this investigating done: Just hire one goon per family and install each of them in every household. That would create millions of jobs, since there are millions of households in the USA. In return for tolerating being spied on, each household would have the privilege of making the goon cook and clean.
ReplyDeleteClaudia - I don't know if there would be enough smart goons to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteJust call Goons R Us. Smart goons go into the government.
ReplyDeleteAngel - Hopefully goons-r-us won't be calling on you unannounced.
ReplyDeleteYes, that sort of thing can happen. And lolts of people do buy pressure cookers.
ReplyDeleteElvis - That's true. Otherwise companies wouldn't be selling them.
ReplyDeleteI think Claudia could be on to something. There are a lot of goons in my family named Joey, Anthony (antony) and Vinny and they need work. Smart? Not so much but they can cook. :-)
ReplyDeletePeg - I couldn't make it in your family. I don't like to cook.
