The Tipping Point
This is how I will be lazy from this point forth:
See, now I don't have to be writer when I'm feeling uninspired. I can put my lack of creativity into poll format. So much easier.
Apropos of nothing ... who the hell says that anyway? If you are going to say this, you might as well say what you really mean which is, "I'm tired of talking about your boring subject, so I am going to take command of the conversation and talk about what I want to talk about."
Anyway, interesting dilemma happened to me 2 weekends ago. It was about 7:00 am on Saturday I think when I heard the unmistakable noise of someone falling down stairs just outside my window. As it was very icy out, this was not completely unexpected, but I did not know what the proper protocol was for such a situation. Am I supposed to
1) go outside and see if she needs help?
2) chuckle and go back to sleep?
3) wait til she screams for help then repeat choosing between 1) and 2)? or,
4) Poke E, tell her somebody outside needs help, go back to sleep?
The problem I had was, if I had fallen down the icy stairs, I think I would prefer that no one come look(laugh) at me until I asked for help. So needless to say I chose option 2.
