Popular Post AirwickWithCheese Posted April 10, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 10, 2018 I was running late. There was a cold rain beating down on the old aluminum window awnings outside MomCheese's kitchen. Grits, scrambled cheese eggs, buttermilk biscuits, and a large piece of pecan pie. This would be my last breakfast with Mother for almost two weeks. The yellow taxi honked its horn. Sam barked and begged to go with me. I kissed MomCheese on the cheek and grabbed a cold Mr. Pibb for the trip to the airport. The driver helped me load my Eitienne Aigner paisley tapestry suitcase in the trunk. The baggage claim number from my last flight was still attached to the handle, Alaska Airlines from Juneau 1999. Barry Manilow was singing on the radio. I signed in anonymously to the Cafe and played with the Member Away status. Do I share this trip? No. Do I send Wilbur a text? No, Wilbur was busy with his new job and had ignored my text from three days earlier. Screw you, Wilbur. I did get a text from SisCheese reminding me I owed $3,000 and some change for some disputed agreement. Whatever. I shutdown the phone, closed my eyes, and listened to the radio and the wiper blades struggling with heavy rain. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a better sister. I have one you can have. My brother and other sister will not put up a fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted April 10, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2018 Did you go somewhere sunny where you could work on your all over tan? Or was this work related and no fun was to be had? Or where you on a mission of mercy of some sort, mayhaps to rescue RO from her life of drudgery in the big city? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted April 10, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 10, 2018 Lydia, I am really sorry you had to go through this. And then to come back here, and not receive universal love just adds insult to injury. Screw them all, Lydia, screw them all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AirwickWithCheese Posted April 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Share #7 Posted April 10, 2018 The short flight to Atlanta was uneventful. The terminal is huge, filthy, and loud. One cannot hear the muzak over the constant hum of foreign languages and repair construction from the damage to the facility by the homeless and gypsies. My layover was six plus hours. No way I was going to spend six hours in this God-forsaken cesspool of international progress. I hailed a taxi driver and bridged the language barrier by pointing to a picture of Atlanta's wrens nest. The taxi smelled of cheap perfume and harlot type toiletries. I phoned Mom to let her know all was well. Sam was barking and I heard SisCheese in the background barking out orders to some poor tv. repairman. For his sake I hope he was out of there before Days of Our Lives time. The Wren's Nest is fabulous! Beautiful Queen Anne home immaculately restored representing a time when the city was in her glory days and not the hodgepodge of CNN diplomacy that destroyed Atlanta. I had a nice lunch and some sweet tea. My Delta flight was as bad as the terminal. No one spoke English including the captain or so it seemed. I saw one nice looking young lady wearing a cute skirt and blouse that looked like she might be from Greenville but there was a sea of Mexico between us. I put my asmr headphones on and said a prayer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted April 12, 2018 Share #23 Posted April 12, 2018 ...not to worry, @Lydia Cheesewaithe. I have just returned from a wildflower tour of the foothills, where I took some photos from near where i lived up there. I will post them in that April Garden Tour thread like an intermission break. Then you can resume your story with everyone rested and refreshed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
