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.

5738 - Christmas post
Since Christmas is on Long joke Sunday I'll do a Christmas meme today.
I can ignore the contradictions so I can get food at my sisters'.
Ho, ho, ho, fellow curmudgeon! Remember the wise words of Samantha Bee: "Christmas is the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services, and everyone else can sit at home and reflect on the true meaning of the separation of church and state."
Susan - Very light snow but cold cold cold. I just check the temp. 7 degrees which is 10 degrees warmer than last night. But it's supposed to be back in the 50's a week from now. MC to you.
Enjoy your Christmas feast(s). Food at one sister's home or several sisters' homes?

ReplyDeleteSue - My one and only sister. She lives about 20 minutes away from me.
ReplyDeleteJohn - This is it! Merry Christmas back to you.

The Bishop of Myra in Lycia in Asia Minor would like to take issue with the German characterization.
ReplyDeleteKirk - I'm sure there are others also. But yesterday, that meme ruled.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good meme. Good for all other nationalities too.
ReplyDeleteClear eyed, Mike
