Which Reminds Me

Yes, a few years ago I did my research on the family tree, and discovered the existence of that guy in Atlanta. Oh! All I can see is a mess of public records, not quite sure who those people are or why I should care about that. I am not even that fond of my first cousins, why should I care about some unknown guy in Atlanta who I never knew existed?  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, truly, I am not a dues-paying member of the Calkins Family Association. I came by the name in the normal way, by being born with my father's surname on my birth certificate. And then there are those other people who pay their Association dues so that they can pretend to be related to us, even though they did not get the name in the legitimate way. There is a collection of New Money corporate snobs and Old Money aristocrats who are hanging by a thread to the memory of old-time Calkins glories, but they do not really have the name, so what would they know? For what do I need sicko Bill? For what do I need Rockefeller's Haitian garbage dumpster? For what do I need that guy in Atlanta? Those people have no privileges for telling me what to do with my life. They are merely the dues-paying fringe, useful only insofar as they finance the Association projects and events, whatever the Association wants to do about that I have no idea, and that is as far as that gets. Maybe someday it would be interesting to sign up for that, but it is not necessary. It is also possible to be a Calkins and not pay dues to the Association. Either way, I am a Calkins and you are not.  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I remember reading in a book about the horrible thing that the Hindu religion does to single women. Despicable. That is why they are desperate for approval, because they get no respect for doing that. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, hopefully sicko Bill will just leave, show himself the door, without me having to explain stuff about why I do not want him in my life. Needless to say. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it is a bit confusing when you are mistaking me for Libby,who has a religious excuse for not swearing on the Bible whether that is true or not, becuase she belongs to the Jehovah's Witness people. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I too feel a little bit like Jonah. On the one hand, he really should care about those people in Nineveh who are going to be destroyed unless they repent of their sins. And on the other hand, there are some people who I would just as soon leave to their own destruction because, anyway, my involvement would only make everything worse. They do not want to "get" it from me, and I am fine with that. Let them "get" it somewhere else.  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, make you wonder, when did I ever say that I had the slightest interest in presidential campaigns? Never, actually. That was not my point. God will take care of me. Your presidential campaign is of no concern to me. There always will be a crop of those smarmy flattering baby-kissing politicians to fill the office of by virtue of being elected by the clueless majority blob of voting people, whatever that meant. So what about that? 

And have we forgotten having heard the story of how the assorted people of Haiti sold their souls to the Devil? So what about that?
