Burning Bridges Falling Down

I am through with Ray. Common sense prevailed, and I realized it could never work out with him as he is a smoker. Also, I feel humiliated after crying in front of Vinod. I can never go in that store again. I fear I may be burning my bridges downtown. In the future, I must be more careful not to wear my heart on my sleeve.

I remained in my apartment all day. I awoke with a raging headache and the only pain killers I had were a few percs left over from my top surgery. Wow.

The undertaker called many times to ask me out. It's a long story but the short version is that he is an admirer from the Acme parking lot who rescued my shopping cart as it rolled away and almost slammed into his car. He's a kind man but I cannot go out with him because he is bald.

I am so shallow as a woman. Damn.

Dolores, is your car fixed yet?

How about that ponytail guy downtown?
I heard him fight for two women and their issues with HUD at a council meeting. I thought he ROCKED!!

Dolores Haze said...

Who is that? Tell me more! Oh, and by the way, my lawyer said...those 2 women should sue the county housing authority for maintaining their apartments in substandard conditions--a landlord-tenant thing...

OMG!!! When he spoke of the brown liquid in the bag I was jumping off of my couch clapping! He so totally set the stage for the next item- HUD at Holy Ghost Church, without ever having to come out against it himself. I LOVED IT!!!! It was certainly one of the best council meetings I have ever seen! Now THERE is a man for you, but he isn't exactly your Ray from the Dollar Store.

Hmmm....what else do you know about him? Sounds like a maverick...definitely my type. Do you think he would go out with me?

I don't know a thing about him other than his name and the fact that he heads the CDC. He can be controversial, according to newspaper accounts, but look at the downtown today compared to the what we had for the last 30 years. You wouldn't know you were in the same town!

Intrigued by your suggestion, I called my lawyer,who is always a wellspring of info on everything downtown.When I asked her about the ponytail guy,her voice changed suddenly and she said, "Back off, Dolores!" Wow...what's going on? She's pretty hot,and if I was (still) a man, I'd go for her myself, but her attitude shift turned me off. Do you think something is going on with her and the ponytail guy?

Me-oooowwwww!
I don't know Dolores, but if you want him go to his office and volunteer for something. My friends tell me he has his own room at Molly's. Hang your picture on the wall in his room so you look familiar to him when you show up in his office. His first thoughts will be 'hmmmmmm...I know her face from somewhere'- and the rest will be history.
If your lawyer's name isn't Mrs Ponytail you have a chance. I don't know if the ponytail has a wife or not. You should check that out first. If he has an ex-wife, hope and pray you don't look like her or you can foggettaboutttit! LOL

According to my lawyer, he isn't married. She said he "has lots of issues"...and lots of personalities. In fact, you might be one of them...

LOL! I don't think so. I don't have any 'issues' these days, and I don't have long hair. LOL

"issues" ??????
and you don't think YOU have issues, dolores?

Dolores Haze said...

Issues, yes, that's what she said. I don't even know him. And yes, of course, I, too, have "issues"...I write about them frequently, as you know.

Well those of us with issues have to accept that others have issues too, otherwise I don't think any of us would ever find anyone. I've just come to that realization, LOL! At our age, Dolores, the pickens are slim and we night just have to compromise some things. What do you think?

Dolores Haze said...

Compromise shmompromise...I'm holding out for the real thing...or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. Why don't you come into town and meet me for a cup of decaf?
