Which Reminds Me

Yes, I understand that some people are just too rich for my blood. I don't need them to explain that to me about blood types. After all, did not they shove their negativity in my face every day of high school? I can think of no reason to further dialogue on these points.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I have no memory of ever having discussed my personal beliefs with Miss Caylee Canard. There is nothing to say to this irrelevant person. If she wants to sit there popping out babies without benefit of marriage, that is her stupid decision to make.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, after some digging around, I dredged up the name of Kari Kynard. So that may be who you are, and I can easily imagine you would be irritated to hear yourself called "Miss Canard," although actually no one did that, no one is thinking about you at all, no one can remember what was that trick you were trying to pull of that got yourself fired, or how did it go for you later at the Tampa Tribune. Just because you are a graduate of FSU, was that supposed to guarantee you something special? They have a building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, how can we compete with that?

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I know, they put on such airs of having some fascinating secret they are hiding, and really they are nothing but useless trivia. I don't really want to hear more about that, am not really so easily fooled as you seem to imagine by their little tricks, but anyway I am stuck in this loop and can't seem to find a way out of that, so I just have to wait for "THE END" script appears on screen so that I can finally log out.  I have some other future awaiting in the U.S. whenever I can find my way back home.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that there was something about the Bible book of Esther, because my Grandma Calkins' name was coincidentally Esther, which also was the name of her mother's half-sister, and also Grandma Calkins had an LP recording of the book of Esther narrated with many special sound effects, very well done, I remember being allowed to listen to that. So the story of Esther can be heard in recordings or read in the book, either way.

Incidentally, I remember that someone was wanting to make some interesting points about that book, especially the latter part of it, that are not much discussed, such as the point of Esther being given dominion over the house of Haman, who was hanged on the gallows that he had built for Mordecai, and his ten sons also executed.

Haman had plotted one day of persecution for the Jews, whereas Esther countered that with two days of revenge over the enemies of the Jewish people, a double portion.

So the revenge of the Jews over those who hated them was authorized by the King Ahasuerus, who lived in his royal palace at Susa (now in Iran), and this he granted to his beloved Queen Esther, to block or effectively nullify the violence previously requested by Agagite Haman. 

It says that Haman had bet or cast his lot (Pur) in favor of the Jews' destruction, but he lost, so that is what you mean by playing games, and "Purim," because Esther cast her lot by daring to enter the throne room uninvited, and she won. 

In celebration of this event, which could not have happened without the King of Persia himself to authorize everything, the Feast of Purim was instituted, on which day people exchanged gifts and feasted.

And then the story ends in a cloud of historical and timeline uncertainties. 

Who was Vashti, the previous queen, and why should we are about what happened to her later? 

What happened to any other descendant, daughters, or relative of Haman the Agagite? Where are they now? 

If the house of Haman was the house of a hater, what does that say about the house of Christ? about the house of Nebuchadnezzar and Darius and Cyrus? Where are they now? 

I am confused. I don't know much about that beyond the text of the Bible story. 

It makes an entertaining narrative and LP recording.

Yes, that was a bit awkward during high school, this pack of FBI (or CIA?) agents masquerading outwardly as friends of mine, but actually behaving the opposite of that. But whatever. I am an upstanding citizen so they could not possibly have anything to say about me. Far be it from me to interfere with their investigations of wicked witch Martha and the Puerto Rican mafia. Certainly, that would not any of my business in any way. That much was clear to me.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember the existence of Kim & Tony, don't they look so cute together. And what is he, Malaysian/ Didn't she at one time live on the second floor, down the hall from Lynda Botsford? So like, whatever. However, while I would be willing to pay my debts, I don't think for a moment that I owe them even a dime now. Where is the paperwork to prove something about them? I don't see why I have to drag them around me wherever I go. Enough of that.
