Which Reminds Me

Yes, it might be helpful to know whose idea was that, for me to go there to work at Angie's orphanage.because anyway,  I am barely aware that I at one time did have an acquaintance by that name, many years ago, but I have not seen them all these many years, except maybe once, so much water under the bridge, and we never worked for them. We are not connected in that way so there would be no reason for that. I am sure they have plenty of volunteer help there at the orphanage already, so we would not want to be meddling in their private project of which they are rightly called the founders. They were Bethany people and they lived in the Santa Cruz hemisphere, so who knows where those Bay people all went now that there is no longer a Bethany. I was really not that interested in continuing this conversation, but you would not stop talking. We were self-employed, so the Thomsons would have no place to be barking orders at me. I will make my own work decisions whenever I figure out what I am going to do eventually, but I really see no reason to have to discuss that with upi. They have their own thing going already and whatever I would want to do, most probably it would not be that.  

So I sort of get that you jsut could not resist the temptation to throw out a boatload of Mother Theresa jokes, but that was no concern of mine. After all, wasn't Teresa Glowacz your ex-girlfriend, before you married Faith? Bit whatever. here I digress. Someone must have accidentally put me on your online mailing list. 

And what was that you were saying about the Spanish-American War? But you don't spell your name cthe way great-grandmother does in her diaries, so who are you anyway? From what planet did you land?  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it would be hard for me to imagine a more miserable and horrifying existence for my future self than to be stuck at Angie's Orphanage for an indefinite time and dependent on the largesse of strangers. What part of "No" do they not understand? 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, so typical of those guys to respin every little thing into a story all about them, when I am barely aware of the existence of Tim and the Gardners. But we already have lawn service that we pay for. We are not lacking pest control people who are very good at what they do and they have no problem finding our house and reappearing like clockwork. It would be premature to say when I would ever need to look to hire another gardener. Thanks anyway.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember during high school, in maybe 10th or else 11th grade,Miss Marken during oen of her ad lib commentaries, saying something outrageous about Gloria Steinem, and although that was a bit shocking, also I read something about that in Time magazine, whether before or after that I cannot quite recall, so obviously that was the 1970s, and also that was Miss Marken's snarky sense of humor, and I would not want to have to vomit all over myself trying to explain what she meant by that. I read Time magazine regularly every week during high school so I was current with the basic news contained therein.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, that was weird, I heard a bunch of people talking about me in a weird way that made no sense, as if I were somehow an employee or doomed to perpetual slavery as their financial dependent. Not at all. I would never want to be financially dependent on them. That was so wrong. They were demanding to see our money, but it was not their place to say and they obviously did not have any idea what they were talking about. Our money does not come from them at all. But it is complicated. It would take forever to explain and I should not have to explain stuff to them unless maybe they put a gun to my head. In that case, maybe I could try to think of something to say, even though they are not really listening. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember during high school, there were some persons who had dual citizenship due to having been born in another country than their parental home turf. That may be true of Ronnie, although I never really asked. I would be able to remember that he was born there even though his parents are U.S. citizens. So does he get a special passport there for that reason? That could be convenient for him and his organization, but not really a concern of mine. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, if you are so clever, maybe you could figure something out, because as for me, I seem to be another calamity waiting to happen. If only I had a fortune to hide, not really. They exaggerate and there is not really that much money to be had, only in my dreams. I vaguely remember years ago, living in El Salvador, a few times we went to the cuartel marketplace downtown, where you have to bargain for the price, and our theory was that they will want to charge a higher starting price for white people due to their prejudicial thinking about white people, but we were not really that rich. That was just all in their heads. Not real. Who knows? Maybe they will go broke trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip.
