I could try to make you giggle yourself out of the goo.... I've mentioned this topic before but it never ceases to amaze me and I mean amaze. And also the reason I may never find out if my medication is working or not.
Due to my depression I'm not working, staying with my Dad in a town house complex for people over 60. Well last week we had the powdered laundry soap scandal which required 4 typewritten letters to the townhouse committee. You see some unwitting soul had sinned by using powdered not liquid laundry soap, and this you know has fillers in it and they could possibly congeal and clog the drains and SHOULD this tragedy occur and the plumber needed to be called JUST WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE for paying? ...
There is also a strict rule that everyone plant identical flowers on there identical porches, which overlook a cement parking lot with one aproximately 6 foot square of grass.
Last year when I was visiting I saw a wild rabbit on the 6 foot square of grass and incurred the wrath of the "committee" by encouraging the proliferation of rabbits by feeding it a celery stick because I was just overjoyed to see something animated in this horrible place.
A stern warning was put in my dad's mailbox. Had they been concerned that the rabbit may become used to being supplied food I would have forgiven them but no god forbid anything bouncy enter this tomb.
There are also many lovely signs decorating the parking lot with a red line crossing out a picture of a dog.
No pets ever anytime, even if you have a guest in for an hour they are strictly forbidden to bring any animal with them..and you are risking your tenancy. Thats a quote.I have to laugh at it I have to, its perverse a socially sanctioned way of being absolutely mad and very scary.
I hate the fact the one has to have money to be an idealist.Well there goes gabbi again it was however a sincere though undignified attempt to de-goo you.
