First World Problems .6

Canadian $100 bills are plastic now, so I have to use 20s to light my cigars.

I'm cold but I don't like eating with a jacket on.

My toilet paper does not contain aloe.

Some poor person asked me for the time before I could put my headphones in.

I put money in the Salvation Army bucket when the person wasn't looking.

Ugh, I just watched a bunch of commercials because I forgot that the show I was watching was DVR'd.

And, for the pièce de résistance…

My keyless entry stopped working, so now I have to open my car with a key like some sort of grimy medieval dungeon master.

However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer. We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster. This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah. We're "those people" now. Who knows? Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen. And she will still look like that. YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today. She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working. I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face, looking putrid fr...
