A Sober Thought

 

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

This week, we're stealing from Steph, aka Cry Baby. She loves Taco Bell and asking questions like these.

Cry Baby

1) Think about the last person you forgave. How long did it take you to forgive them? About a year. And to be clear, I'm talking about my most recent ex-wife, from over 6 years ago, she did nasty shit at the end, so we've never talked since. I don't miss that. But I did realize we never should have started, and that was my fault...

 

2) Steph's favorite fast food is Taco Bell. What's yours? I've yet to meet Steph. I'm sure she's great. As all Stealers are. I go back and forth from Micky D's and BK.

3) Who was the last friend you hung out with? What did you do?  I was out to dinner with the Singles group...

 

4) Did you do anything this past week that will still seem important a year from now? No, but I will. I moved to Phoenix 3 years, come May. I haven't seen any family besides my son & family who live here, and my sister. This Friday my daughter, who turned 50 in September, and her hubby join us for the weekend.

5) Will this coming week be better than last week? How so? At 73, I focus on how each day is great. I stopped drinking the night of the Super Bowl. That was because I had been told that I had a decease that might have had consequences on my life. So even though I don't drink a lot, I drank daily. I did a cat scan that showed I was okay, but then the doc ordered an MRI. So I abstained and waited. After six weeks, I hear: no damage. So as I raise me glass of Smirnoff. Cheers!

 

Have a relaxed week!

You're Not Serious

 

 Why does Donald Trump ...

1. want Greenland? I really don't think he does. But I think he has something else in mind. It is Trump negotiating. His objective, who could guess? But, I am willing to ride this out this time...

2. not drink? The Donald is a control freak. Drinking or drugs would make him lose control...

3. want the Panama Canal? He wanted the canal to lose Chinese control. That has happened, replaced by a US contractor, one we with questionable military  contractor experience...

4. like the song YMCA? Sorry, there is no fucking excuse for this disco relic...

5. look different? Sorry, there is no fucking excuse for the make-up at all...

6. fire people? Because he fucking can...

7. want to be President? Because he is a fucking control freak. Plus he fucking loves all the MAGA worshipers...

8. look orange? Sorry, there is no fucking excuse, but this is fake suntan lotion or simular makeup...

9. hate Taylor Swift? She is the most liberal and is a loud anti-Trumper...

10. wear diapers? You're fucking not serious...

11. lie so much? Sorry, he has no fucking excuse...

11. stand weird? He is 78. For a fat guy, he seems healthy. Biut the never smoked, never drank lifestyles has some benefits...

13. have a big ego? Sorry, there could never be an excuse for his fucking narcistic outlook, and his petty revengal actions...

Only Money And Sex

 

 

 

Saturday 9: Southside Irish

1. This week's song was chosen because it's something of an anthem in Chicagoland around St. Patrick's Day. Can you name another song that makes you think of St. Patrick's Day or Ireland? My very Irish mom used ting me "Wild Irish Rose", so I'll go with that...

 

2. The Irish Choir sings that the "craic" is always best among the Windy City Irish. "Craic" is Irish for "fun" and "high spirits." Are you planning anything fun this weekend? Friday, my granddaughter has a play. I'm free after that if anyone's interested.I am sure the invites will fucking be coming now.

3. They tell us that their fathers came over from Mayo, Cork and Donegal. Where did your ancestors hail from? My mom and her side are 100% Irish. My dad ancestry is Easter European Jewish. I never cared about ancestry. Only money or sex grab my humble attention...

 

4. The lyrics mention the rivalry between Chicago's two baseball teams. As Spring Training 2025 draws to a close, how do you feel about your baseball team's chances this season? I do not have to remind you that unless you sare a Dodger  fan the outlook is bleak. I was all in for the Yanks before Cole needed Tommy John and Stanton and DJ have injuries. Unless they hang in until the deadline and get reinforcement. That said I will watch every game, win or lose.

 

5. The Chicago River is dyed green in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Does your community do anything to special for the holiday? Nah, we keep it simple—just the usual. Here in Phoenix we start by placing all fire hydrants with kegs, letting the squirrels run the parade, and offering free citizenship to anyone who can perfectly recite an Irish limerick while holding a Guinness on their head. Nothing too crazy, We also dye the tap water green, replace all traffic lights with shamrocks, and make leprechauns the official law enforcement for the day. If you don’t wear green, you're legally required to river dance your way out of town. It’s a whole thing.

 

6. While this week's song focuses on the Irish population of Chicago, it's not the U.S. city with the highest percentage of citizens of Irish ancestry. According to the 2020 census, Boston is #1. Have you ever been to Boston? Boston is my favorite city. I lived on Beacon Street for 4 years, then years later i worked boston, but had a home in Framingham. Now in Phoenix.

7. On Monday, which is St. Patrick's Day, do you plan to wear green? If out my green blazer. If not, my green Hartford Whalers Jersey...

8. Clovers are a recognized symbol of St. Patrick's Day, and a four-leaf clover is believed to bring good luck. Have you ever seen a four-leaf clover? Yes. We had nothing to but look at fucking clover in search of the holy grail...

9. Black coffee with whiskey and whipped cream is Irish Coffee. What's your standard coffee order? Drinkwise, it's Grand Marnier & Baileys.

 

Hope you're well. If All goes right. I'll be back for Stealing...
