I Seriously Don't Even Know Anymore

[Food Lady]

I would like to respectfully disagree. I have had times when I had to be very persistent about something, but I have been able to do it without being annoying. I chalk that up to my mother's example from her years of working in corporate administration as a secretary and executive assistant. I learned from her, and have had to deal with some situations that required a calm, firm, diplomatic persistence. That does not always or automatically translate to annoyance.

I assume we're talking about your dating life?

I assume we're talking about your dating life?

As much as I enjoy having my dating life be fodder for the entertainment of others, in this case you assume wrongly.

I have applied my mother's teachings to many situations I have had in life, where I had to be persistent without being annoying to get something accomplished, whether that was getting a job, getting a job interview, dealing with an incorrect bill or a billing error, dealing with a bad roommate, etc., etc., etc.

Were we talking about my dating life, well, generally when I am persistent in that, I AM annoying, so no. Not quite.

You forgot Barry, Derry, Jerry, Ferry, Merry, and Yari. But yeah, I'd say you had that particular rhyme scheme pretty well covered anyways.

Well, accounting for spellings we did have Jerry/Gerry and Merry/Mary. I've never heard of Derry or Ferry as names, but I did forget Barry and Yari. Wonder if I could convince my husband to name a future kid one of those to keep it going...

Use the names for a pet. Remember, children grow up and choose your nursing home!


... I'm expecting a doggie crate, since I named my first son Llewellyn... consistently mispronounced at school as "Lou Ellen"...

He's 36 today.
