Possible Coffee Withdrawl...

Normally my gripe hole is clogged with fear of getting hit by lightning for bitching, but right now some bitchiness is spurtin' out.

I went to the Natural Foods Co-op on my lunch break to get a sandwich. I pay $12 a year to be a member so I can get 5% off my purchases. Well today, the chick rings me up and asks, "Would you like to donate your 5% member savings back to the Co-op?"
I was thinking, "Um, NO, that's why I am member in the first place, to save money!" But the whole place got really quiet and it seemed like everyone was looking at me, waiting for my response, wondering, "Is she a tight-fisted, cold-hearted capitalist, or is she a charitable soul who freely gives from the bubbling abundance of her hippy heart?"

So I felt pressured into saying yes, (grrrr)! Hey, I'm always up for donating to charities or children's hospitals, but making donations to food co-ops is not even on my white, liberal guilt list. I hope you're happy Chico Natural Foods! That's 49 less cents for the orphaned children of Nepal!!!!!!!!!

Also, what the hell is up with bell peppers? I'll tell you what's up, they suck, that's what! "Oh we're green or red or yellow and we're crunchy and people like us on pizzas and salads and crap." Well, let me tell you something you asinine little freaks of nature, you SUCK donkey balls so get the hell away from me and go back to the alien monkey butt you came from!

Hey, those hippies look happy! Is that you dancing in a skirt as an androgynous love child?

No, not me.

Here is me as a hippy kid.

Actually, my parent's were not hippys. My dad was in Vietnam when this picture was taken, I think. This was here in northern california someplace. My aunt lived in Paradise and we where visiting and out camping. I'm the one in the middle.


This must have been 69. My sister (on the dog) was born in Feb of 69. Doesn't my mom look fuckin groovy? This was in Germany. The dog's name was Barino.

Oh my God! You're adorable!

Your mom does look groovy. I take it you get your tallness from your dad?

I suppose I do. The men on my mom's side of the family are decent sized too. I seem to recall my UrOpa (greatgrandpa) was pretty tall. I was a little kid though, so everybody was tall.

I'm bigger than my dad but he's over 6 ft.

I noticed that you call you grandma "Oma" and now your great grandpa "UrOpa."
Where does that come from?

That's German. When I say that I'm referring to my mom's side of the family. Oma is gramma and opa is grampa.

My mom's side of the family is German too, my dad's, French.

I thought Mom's side was English. Dad's side was Acadian...which I guess is French twice removed.
But you were adopted when we found you left on our front porch in a basket full of Howler monkeys, so I guess that makes you South American. Ha!

You're the one who is an alien.
