Faiqa on Faye
Did you know the difference between a flood watch and a flood advisory? An advisory means that we might have floods. A watch means that we are either having floods or that they are imminent. Does anyone else wish that they would just say, "It's going to flood, go buy sandbags."
This whole Faye thing reminds me of this guy I knew in high school that told me I should change my name to Faye because it was way easier to pronounce than Faiqa. His name was Muhammad and he had started telling people to call him "Mo." I told him that he could shove it and if people thought my name was too hard to pronounce they didn't have to talk to me. True story.
Anyway, I cannot believe they've been interrupting Young and the Restless for this crap. I don't watch Y&R, per se, but if I did, I'd be damned upset. (On a different note, is it strange that the opportunity to use the phrase "per se" literally makes my day?)
Interesting to note that Florida's weather has the ability to turn the most easygoing individuals into anxiety ridden neurotics. When I met my husband ten years ago, he told me that the most significant difference between America and the other places that he had lived was that Americans worried too much, even though they had the least amount of things to worry about.
Yesterday, he went outside in the middle of a torrential downpour to drain the pool two inches because he was afraid our lanai might flood and bought 50 gallons of water for two and a half people after hearing that we might have a tropical storm warning in effect. My contribution? I pretended not to watch reruns of Oprah.
I'm just saying, whose the anxiety neurotic, now?

Whoa Faiqa, "shove it" was a bit harsh, wasn't it? :-O You could have just said, "thanks Mo, but I like my name, just as it is." Coming from a dude who calls himself "Mo," as in Mo, Curley, Larry, etc., well, it's kind of a lame suggestion in the first place. You didn't literally tell him to shove it did you?
I didn't actually say "shove it," but I think whatever I said embodied the spirit of "shove it." Gimme a break, I was in high school, my interpersonal skills have improved substantially since then. I think. Btw, karmi, how old *is* older than dirt?
It was so funny watching everyone run around like crazy people buying water and boarding up their windows.
Of course, I barely had any employees all week because of the damn school system overreacting too.
I've always liked the name Faiqa. And now that you have a kid, you're a mother Faiqa. Heh.
Mother Faiqa. Very clever. I would be laughing except that J.J. in the sixth grade beat you to that joke by about twenty years. :)
Oldie but a goodie!
Faiqa ... you firmly intend to strip me of all human dignity by forcing me to reveal my age. oh the humanity! lol. Let's just put it this way: I've needed Viagra for years now. heh heh. :-D I may be a kurmudgeon (sic) but I'm a karmic kurmudgeon. ;-)
Curmudgeonly hugs,
karmi
OMG, OMG, Karmy, I've uncovered your true identity. You're Bob Dole, aren't you?!!
It was the curmudgeon part that gave you away. And the mention of Viagra, for which I'm sure you are being compensated this very moment. :) Lots of love to ya, karmy, er, Bob.
