....now wait just a minute

Last April, my family threw me a 50th birthday party. A lot of my cousins, aunts and uncles were present. Most of my cousins I didn't even know cause that's how far removed I am at family gatherings. It all has something to do with my past. My family, they all have moved on from it, but I haven't. It shames me to even be around them, cause I know they know about my past. Even though that's behind me, it still bothers me. I had promised to be more into family gatherings, but I have yet kept my promises, its just me. At my party, my Uncle Lawrence was there, he was suffering from cancer. He is no longer with us. About 3 months ago he passed away and I didn't even go to the services. So now my conscious is bothering me, and this is why. My mother called me at work and told me that my Uncle left me 2 watches. I said okay, but I don't know when I will be able to come to her house, cause my work is tight right now, working on my days off, vacation too. Sh...

Just had a convo with a customer. She has a 18 month old child, and she said she left the baby's father cause she said she was in a dead end relationship. Now, I don't understand that. Is it because I dontr have any children, nor a girlfriend? I asked her, what did she expect from him once she told him that she wqas with his child. She said during the months that lead up to the birth, she knew that he wasn't going to be around once the child was born. This conversation we had, she told me, was a release for her. Even though the attitude that I got from her was that 'all' men aren't shit, I listened and gave some advice. First thing I asked her was why did she think that having a bay by him would keep him around. She, like many others answered, cause she thought it would bring them closer together. No, he drew the both of you further apart. Since you weren't living together, he found many of wxcuses to stay away from you, and you found many ways to try to ge...

So today is the first day of school, the rest of the week, noschool. Wht type of madness is that? When I was coming up, school, first day was the whole week. Guess times have changed. I was wondering also, do these parents look at what their daughters are wearing to school these days. Like today, she couldn't have been older than 15 years old, but she dressed as if she was going to a club. I guess again the parents bought the clothes for her, but then again. Kids nowadays have a source of income which you wouldn't believe. It may have come from that guy who was selling drugs during the summer and giving her some of the money to carry packages for him. So she saved it up and bought her own clothes. I don't know. Some of the teachers came into the store yesterday. Most of them I didn't recognize, because, I hate to say this, they gained weight. Some even told me that they gained weight, but they all looked good. So what you eat, you gain weight, what's the problem ? ...
