Lady?


Lady
Not Really by Tina~in_ut


Do you ever get an email or joke that is just so funny that you have to share with everyone? Sometimes you get ones that are so well written, you are proud to know the person who wrote it! I received an email that was so hilarious, that I immediately forwarded it to my co-workers and best friend! They all loved it. THEN, I told the writer I was putting it on the blog. I could not deprive others of her superb writing. So here is Zona's email. Enjoy~

"I was sitting here at the computer this morning, and I heard a young boy's voice calling "Lady....Lady..." and then whistling. I looked out the window and there was the new neighbor's son..standing in the driveway, with a boxer puppy next to him.

He was looking down the street and shouting now, "Lady...LADY!!" For all I knew it could have been a Jerry Lewis impersonation, and there was some woman he was calling to come back. I watched and saw a Dobie pup run up to him..ok..it was a real honest to goodness dog that was loose, and had now come home. I started to turn away, but saw that Lady was playing with his sense of relief by turning and running back down the street!

In the meantime he was still trying to keep track of the boxer pup. I went into full helpful neighbor mode and slapped my feet into my flip flops..ran into the kitchen and got some of Nikki's milk bones..which she then tried desperatley to grab back from me..and while pushing her off me, ran out of the front door. I only forgot one thing..it had been raining.

My flip-flop clad foot hit the wet cement, and my leg went straight up in the air, I thought, what a nice tree we have just before my ass and back hit the concrete. I laid there trying to see and catch my breath, weakly holding up the dog biscuits in the direction of the boy.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a trotting Dobie puppy run up to him...and without so much as a smirk in my direction, the trio went into their backyard..leaving me sprawled on the front walkway. I took a deep breath, and hauled myself first to my knees, biscuits still in hand. I knelt, butt to the street in defiance to anyone who might have a problem with the view, and then slowly stood up. I limped to the front door, where Nikki was waiting for her treats. I opened the security door and threw the damn biscuits across the entrance hall. Nikki ran after them and crunched happily away, as I stepped first out of one flip..than the flop...walked to the sofa and fell into it. Truly Tina...that Lady was a tramp!"

I have always wished I could write like this. Thank you Zona for making me laugh and always entertaining me with your stories! I really wish you would submit you work!

scirish said...

Wow! I haven't been first in a while!

Zona...I hope your back and butt are no worse for the wear...and thanks for the am chuckle!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Scrishy got First!

Tina thank you for submitting that!

Zona LOL funny! What a great story and so well written! I agree that was no Lady.

But Hey Nikki was happy! LOL

Bono: Left you a message in Area 51!

I will be back in a bit.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Scirish and Lynn

Congratulations on being first Scirish. I haven't seen you for a long time. Hope you are fine.

Good Morning Lynn. I will be back in a few minutes.

Tinkatia said...

I love the picture. That is one of my favourite movies. I will read the blog and be back in ten minutes.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!!
Congrats on 1st scirish

Zona- that was a fantastic story. What a great way to start my day at work. I had a complete visual of the entire episode. And I was wincing for you while laughing!

Good morning lynn and Tink!

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

What a fun story to read first thing in the morning! Thanx so much for sharing Tina!

And Zona, very good!

Congrats Scirish!

Hi to Lynn, Tinka, Goldie!

That was me who deleted, my post appeared twice!?!?

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Goldie.

Zona-my-baby - You are a fantastic short story writer. Tina is right. You should submit more of your stories. As Goldie said the visuals were perfect. If it had been someone I didn't know I would have laughed my head off. Since you are my daughter I am more concerned for the bruises you may have on your bottom. You didn't tell me that story. Probably because I would have called that boy's mom and told her what a rude kid she had for not helping you up. Your last line is hilarious. It pulled the story together so perfectly. I am very proud of this morning. Next time ignore the calls for help and stay at the computer writing your stories.

Tinkatia said...

My comment was #10.

Good Morning East Bay J - That happens to be every once in a while. I click "publish" and it shows up twice. Can anyone explain why?

goldie said...

MEK- I need to comment on your blog from yesterday. I left town (and my beloved computer) on Friday and just read it this morning.

I have a nephew serving in the Air Force right now, I so understand what you talked about. I also appreciate so much more then I ever did before the sacrifices tha your father made and all those who have served- regardless if they peeled potatoes or where on the front lines-made for me and my family.

I too have had the honor of being at Arlington and watching the changing of the guard. It is the most incredible, proud, sad, honored feeling I have probably ever had. I never knew it was possible for a group of people to be so silent and so respectful as we watched and marveled.

Hope all you hooters had a great weekend and that this nice short work week is a pleasant one!

Tinkatia said...

Tina - I forgot to say "Good Morning" and to thank you for submitting Zona's post. It was a great one and she would never have submitted it. I am glad you did.

Lynn D said...

Good Morning Goldie, Tinka, and EBJ!

I will be checking in off and on this week as it is going to be a crazy one for me.

Today is food pick up and then going late this afternoon with a friend to a Doc consultation.

Tomorrow is food bank and I need to get the rest of my Tweedle Dee costume ready.

The rest of the week is helping to get everything ready for our fundraiser on Saturday for the foodbank.

Lord 2 months of planning for a 4 hour Mad Hatter Tea and Garden tour. I now know why I would never be an event planner.

Crazy need to get my hair done in their somewhere too! Maybe not I do have the propeller beanie to cover the roots! LOL

Amicus said...

Good Morning Owls!

Zona: Funny story! I hope you weren't hurt during the fall, and I'm glad Lady and the boxer pup made it home safely.

Tina: Thanks for sharing!

Waving HI to everyone!

Have a great day!

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lynn and Amicus-

Lynn - Did I miss something? Why do you need a Tweedle Dee costume and what event are you talking about?

VIG - Have fun at work today. I will be thinking about you.

Tinkatia said...

I guess everyone has either gone to work or back to bed so I guess I will go and have my breakfast.

The nest has emptied out.

Tinkatia said...

Scirish - We haven't seen you for so long. Where did you disappear to this time?

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

come out, come out where ever you are!

Tinkatia said...

I tried but I can't wake anyone up. I will be back later when the crowd arrives.

Lynn D said...

Tinka: It is for a fundraiser for the foodbank. We are having the Mad Hatter Tea party and garden tour. All of the volunteers are wearing costumes and we have a tent for the tea. We will be serving cake and finger sandwiches.

Hidden throughout the garden are decorated cards and event goers that find them win prizes that have been generously donated by merchants.

We ask that they either give a cash donation or bring non perishable food item to the event to get in.

One of our ladies that volunteers is letting us use her garden well actually 1 acre of yard that she and her husband have beautifully landscaped over the years.


Oh and I got to the costume sign up late and so I am Tweedle Dee. If I had been any later I would have been Tweedle Dum! LOL

Good morning!!!

Tina - thank you for submitting Zona's story!!

Zona - OH - I feel your pain - the visual you have given us is right on - I hope you are okay!!

Scirish - congrats on First!! are the renovations done yet?

Lynn - Tweedle Dee - have fun!! How's your head today??

Tinka - you are getting really good at marching!!

Goldie - Hope you had a good weekend - and thank you!!
:-)

Good Morning, EBJ and Amicus..

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

We had a nice "cool" weekend - temps are headed back to the 100's!

Tinkatia said...

Lynn - Good Morning. Thanks for explaining. It sounds wonderful. I wish I could be part of it. I could have been Tweedle Dum and we could have been partners.

Mek - Yes I am getting a little better at marching. It is easier when you are sitting all alone in the nest and you know no-one is going to suddenly land on you. Send us some heat. It's cool here this morning and I refuse to put on the furnace in May. I feel like getting back into bed.

Lynn D said...

MEK: My head is fine. But my stomach is still giving me problems!

Tinka: I wish you were here too! We would have made a great duo! LOL

Off to check the rest of my email and then I need to fly out the door. Everyone have a wonderful day!

RonnieGirl said...

Good morning/afternoon,

Just swooping in for a minute to ask for thoughts and prayers for Moweenie this afternoon at 3:00.

The supervisors at the hospital will be having a meeting with her and probably be offering her a permanent position, with medical benefits and a pay raise. Oh, I hope so.

We all love and care about Mo, and she is really needing our support today, as this 'tedious' process has had her somewhat on pins and needles for a few weeks.

Waving a wing to Zona (glad you weren't hurt), Scirish, Lynn, Tink, Goldie, EBJ, Amicus, and MEK.
Hope you all have a great day.

Leaving all of you *smiles* for your day, and holding Moweenie in my thoughts.

Want2Sleep said...

Someone knock on the car window and wake Bear up !

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Ronniegirl - My prayers and positive energy will be directed at Maureen today.

Maureen - Thinking of you and Good Luck.

Want2sleep - Good Morning to you too. It's hard to wake Bear up when he has had a busy night.

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

I just got home from buying groceries and I remembered to disinfectant my purse. See this is an educational blog, it really teaches people lots of things.

Zona - As I was driving away I remembered you telling me about your fall. I just didn't get the "calling Lady" short story so I didn't recognize it. I still think the kid needs a kick in the pants for not helping you.

Maureen - My fingers are still crossed for you.

Time for Slim Fast and a nap. Boy the days fly by.

Lynn D said...

Just checking in real quickly before I have to take off again.

Sending Mo all of my positives thoughts today!

MEK: Just hoping tummy is not related to the female probs from before or I will be back on progesterone! Yuck!

Hodi: So glad I could entertain you!:) I needed that comic relief yesterday too!

Zona: Great story I just re-read it and laughed again!

Ok I have to get some stuff done before I leave! Good afternoon all!

Anonymous said...

Hello my dear neighbour Tinka...hope your day is going well! Not the nicest day today in Victoria is it?! Hope you are staying warm and dry!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

Bwaaaa haaa haaa Zona! Good one! Although I hope you didn't get hurt.

kahonugrl said...

Zona:

Just tell me that your pup was waiting at the door for you to make sure you we're allright, and not the treats...lol. Great story.

Weenie!!! Let us know that you got it!

Barb/wa: Has the glyoxide worked??

Jodi said...

TURTLE - Waving a wing at you from Wisconsin!!!

Tina~in_ut said...

Mo~ happy thoughts for my favorite crackwhore~

JoeyfromSC said...

goldie said...

Zona~ I saw the light was on! Thanks.

Jodi- we are on for Friday! Potato Salad? I can feel myself swooning already............... Was at Brennans yesterday, just had to pass it by and sigh.

I think I forgot to thank tina~ for submitting Zona's story. Thanks tina!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

for those of you who are my friends on myspace, check out the pic of my daughter and the THUNDER DOWN UNDER from this weekend!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

k-girl....
it still hurts a little but not as bad as yesterday. the stuff seems to be working!

whabbear said...

LOL@ Sleep! I did get into the nest a little late today; we were up past 1 in the morning last night dancing, cocktailing, and gambling.

Mary in MI: Have you ever stayed at the Mandalay Bay? OMG, this place is huge, and talk about bustling! Huz and I just got back from the big wave pool, and it really was kind of like being at the beach. Kind of.

As for the casino, Huz was appalled at the fact that the minimum bet is now 15 dollars at the blackjack tables... he remembers 2 dollar tables back in the 70s.

Zona: OMG, you have a great turn of phrase... I loved how you described the dog playing with his sense of relief by taking off again!

You and Randy have been dealing with too much weird stuff lately. Hopefully, you're due for a change in the karmic winds soon!

Hello, Tinkatia, Lynn D, scirish, Carol, East Bay, Jodi, Goldie, Amicus, MEK, Ronniegirl, VIG, Barb, Turtle, and Joey!

And hello to SacBarb, Just Lin, and all who will be in the nest later!

Goldie: The traditions and rituals used by the military to honor the lives and individuals who serve and die are very powerful, don't you think?

I think Taps is one of the most moving short pieces of music every written... there's just such a plaintive, sorrowful, even lonely feel to it.

No surprise that Taps has come to be so closely associated with the end of the day and the end of life.

Tina~in_ut said...

Barbara~ I think i need to go back down under~ :)~

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

well Tina...I have never "gone" down under. Thinking maybe I should!

Tinkatia said...

VIG - Thanks for the letter. I have had a busy day but then a nice nap. Tango is limping so I don't think I will go for a walk. I can always think of a good excuse.

Tinkatia said...

Whabbear - I am happy you checked in. I keep a motherly eye on you at all times. Glad you are having fun and still have money left for your old age (I know that is years from now but one can't be too careful).

Tina~in_ut said...

Tinkatia said...

Zona - I hope you are enjoying all the nice comments about your talent as a writer. You never believed me but then again who ever believes their mother?

Tina~in_ut said...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~

Tina~in_ut said...

Tinka~ i believe my mother! She has a gun! :)~

Tinkatia said...

Tina, You snuck in on me. I was going to get my first 69 because I thought I was alone in the nest. I was taking my time. "I will get you my pretty and your little dog too".

Tinkatia said...

Barbara - I am going to check on those pictures now.

Tinkatia said...

I guess I am not very wide awake or else I would have noticed by the time of the posts that the nest was occupied. Even if I had tried to rush I think I would have been stomped on. Don't you owls realize my little owl is delicate?

Tina~in_ut said...

Tinka~ i don't have a doggie~ :) And that pic of barbara's.....we can all use that for marching to 69~ :D

night.owls.sb said...

Scirish:
Congrats on First! Always good to see ya :O)

Zona:
So glad Tina decided to share your story, I cracked up when I first read it. Sorry..it was just so funny! At least you did try to help.

Thanks to you and Tina for Today's blog!

night.owls.sb said...

I am still exhausted from yesterday!
I did not sleep well, as my calf's and my feet were killing me!

I also drank beer (which I never do). My nephews play this card game "Fuck the Dealer" and you kinda have to drink when you don't guess the number. Its somewhat like "Beer Pong"

So I played! And had to drink....

I finally wised up and starting putting water in my beer bottle, my nephews/cousins had no clue I was doing this so it worked at well..

I did tell them after all the games were over tho! As they were giving me Kudos for keeping up with them and I just could not say I did with a straight face!

night.owls.sb said...

I will be back later when I get home.

Hope all had a good day!

Just_Lin said...

****ATTENTION WEST COASTERS***

David Cook is on Ellen.

Zona said...

VIG: I don't think I can survive another story like that one!!

BARB/WA: I was sure I only got bruised..but today my toenail fell off..so there was more damage than I thought. I wanted to save it so that Mr Z could have the DNA extracted and have me cloned in the future, but he said no. Hmmm

KGRL: I think with Nikki..as long as you're moving you're all right! She wanted those treats coming and going!

WHABBEAR: Oh I hope good things are on the way!

TINA: Goof!

CPGEM: My trying to help gets me in more trouble!!

JOEY: You're so sweet!

TINKA: I think I'm a little shell shocked.

Thanks again everyone and TINA..I am sending that package afterall!! ;P

Yeah -

Oh my - it's hotter than hell outside... BUT - I can't bitch yet - so forget I just said anything..

Went to my mom's to go thru those medicare papers - I was SO worried - BUT - as I read thru them - the doctor's office keeps submitting the WRONG date of service Operative report for the claim and that is why it keeps getting denied - and until they submit the correct stuff - everything that is related to it will be denied........ she has an appt there on Tuesday - so I'll visit the little billing gal!!

Glad it was as simple as that!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

Good Afternoon, Tinka!!

You are really getting good at this!!!

Tinkatia said...

Zona - Send the toe nail to me and I will have you cloned. Then I will have a new little daughter.I will teach her not to run on wet cement in thongs. Oh I will teach her a lot of things.

Tina~in_ut said...

my break it over~ back to getting yelled at~ :D

Tinkatia said...

Jus Lin - I think I missed Ellen. I will check. I did see him today on Regis and Kelly. He sang the winning song. I loved it.

MEK in AZ said...

Whabby - Isn't it the truth about that little "TAPS" song??

last time I went to "visit" my dad, it was in the middle of the week and there were several services going on - and it was almost like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" - one bugle would be ending and another would be in the middle and another one would start... I really did have to leave - it was WAY too much emotion for me... and as the bugle was blowing - the rifles were doing their salutes!!

At a National Cemetary like that - the service is not held at the actual grave site - you are in a pavillion type thing.......

SO - enough sadness...

Zona - at least it's not raining anymore!! LOL

Jodi said...

TINA!!!! Damn foad!! Congrats on 100!!! How's work?

Tinkatia said...

Mek - I may be getting better but I was 10 away from 100 when I posted that short comment and when it posted it was # 103. That magic I just don't get.

Tina~in_ut said...

work is yucky today~ but my mom got a new camera today.....did you hear? It comes with a 2gb card and she doesn't know what that is! I love it~ Think I'll buy her a 4gb and see what she does~ :)~

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - I taped Ellen since I was at my mom's - can't wait to watch it..

He's going out with Kimberly Calwell now.. they have had ONE date and he hopes to "hang out with her" somemore!!

MEK in AZ said...

Tina - congrats on 100!!

Aren't are mom's great??

We got a digital camera for my mom and she has NO clue - and it's just a point and shot thingy!!

Tinkatia said...

Barbara - That picture of your daughter with the Thunder Down Under guys is fantastic. Makes me want to visit there. Anyone want to go on a trip?

MEK in AZ said...

Tinka - I was typing a long post also - and Tina took the march!!

so - we both missed it!!

Jodi said...

TINA - I can't wait to see what your Mom takes pics of!!! Now, if we could just get her to take one of herself!!!

Jodi said...

Waving at MEK & PINK TINK!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi before I hunker down for the night!!! I will see all my late night HO's when I get up for work.

TINA - Laquisha says HI!!! Oh, make that HEY GIRL!!! :p

Jodi said...

Just on more thing.....WHABBY - I have to agree with you about Taps.....was especially tough to hear it being played at my 20 year old brother's funeral.....and the 21 gun salute still haunts me.

Tinkatia said...

Just Lin - Thanks for reminding us that David was on Ellen and thanks VIG - for the 'heads up' on the fact that I hadn't missed the show. He was great as always.

Mek - I guess we can't win them all especially when Tina has her running shoes on. And we all know how fast she is. LOL

MEK in AZ said...

Jodi - waving at you too!!

Lynn D- you made me hungry for pizza yesterday - SO, we are having a Digiorno - it's just like delivery!! LOL

cpgem - Kudos to you for fooling the boys!! Gotta love it..

Tina~in_ut said...

thanks mek~ yes, mom's are great....both of mine are in different ways~

Jodi~ lol....remind me to tell you something later.... :)~ oh...and hi to Laqueesha too~

Tinka~ I'm not fast....ask your daughter! She knows~ :)

Tinkatia said...

Jodi- Waving back at ya.

Tina - I will ask my Baby when she wakes up. Shhh. She's sleeping right now.

MEK in AZ said...

Tina, just reminding you that you have something to tell Jodi!!

LOL

Is there anything on TV tonight??!!

iteach said...

Zonababy- I loved your story!!!

I needed that laugh, because I'm really feeling under the weather.

I have been sleeping since I've been home from school, I think I have strep.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.

Tinkatia said...

125

iteach said...

Oh, Tinka, I didn't mean it, I took your 125 away.

Tinkatia said...

iteach - You slipped in on me too. I can't seem to get this right.

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

iteach said...

Yeah, you did it!

Tinkatia said...

I finally got it right. Now I must get some work done. I have paid my bills on line, watered my plants on my deck and now I must take out my recycling for the man tomorrow morning. What a hard life I lead. Nothing but work, work work. LOL
Retirement is such fun.

MEK in AZ said...

Iteach - I am sorry you are not feeling well -

Tinka - you are totally cracking me up!!

Tinkatia said...

Iteach - I shouldn't tease. I know how stressful things can get at the end of a school year. It never got any easier as the years flowed past. There is always so much paper work to do. Besides that you are trying to teach children who's minds have already been "geared up" for summer holidays because Little League has started and they aren't going to bed as early.

Tinkatia said...

Iteach - And I forgot you aren't feeling well at all. Hope it isn't strep throat.

iteach said...

I'm hoping relaxing is right around the corner.

I stayed up late to put the finishing touches on the report cards.

I hand those out tomorrow and I will give a retirement party to one of our fellow teachers.

I also have a doctor's appt. tomorrow to see why I have white sores in the back of my throat.

Tina~in_ut said...

dang mek....I don't remember what I was going to tell her now!

I had a schizophrenic passenger....wacko!!!!!

iteach...hope you feel better soon~

Lynn D said...

Just checking in and hoping everyone is having a nice evening.

Got home a little while ago. Went with my friend to her Doc appt in Downtown Tacoma.

Can I just say now I remember why we moved from there!

I am amazed at how many of those city slickers don't know how to use or what a cross walk is for. But here at home in our little cowtown we know what they are for and we use them correctly! LOL

Scary very Scary!

I am exhausted. I will see you all in the morning! (((Hugs)))

Tinkatia said...

Lynn - I am exhausted too. Good Night. I am heading to bed.

Iteach - Hope you feel better.

VIG and Zona - I would like to know where those messages I sent to you two ended up. Are they floating around in space?
Good Night my friends I am heading for a cozy bed and maybe watch Season two of the Walton's again. It's a while since I finished Season eight.

Good Night all Owls. God Bless.
Love, Tinka

Good evening everyone. This will be my only post for the night. We have been having terrible satellite connections for the past 4 days. Slower than molasses in the winter!!
We are expecting a service tech. tomorrow. We live out in the country with only dial-up so I purchased a satellite w/high speed. I think our trees may be blocking the dish and may have to be cut down. Hopefully he can just move the dish higher.

Scirish~ Way-to-go on being #1 today!

Tina, so glad you posted Zona's wonderful story!

Zona~ I loved your way with words. They flowed so eloquently! I am a terrible writer and admire anyone who can put words to paper like you did and have them come alive. You have got to write a blog! Pretty please!

MO~ Good luck and take deep breaths!

Barb~ I saw Thunder from Down Under in Vegas. My heart is pounding just thinking about it! LOL!!

Bear~ I didn't stay at Mandalay Bay, but I have been to a few shows there. One show was on stage surrounded by the wave pool. I sat on the waters edge while the waves were moving. Loved it! The table limits always go up on week ends and Holidays.

Tinka, goodnight, sorry I missed you.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully tomorrow service will be better. I'm not very patient with the slow downloads and refreshings
Good night all...

TINA & ZONA...GREAT blog! I felt a little giulty laughing at you dear Zona...but I got over thay guilt quickly!! You are quite the writer...I could actually picture you with you leg up! I hope you didn't have on a skirt!!!!!!!!

THANKS to all of you for your well wishes, etc... sadly, it didn't go my way. I am going to apply for a lesser position so I can at least get my insurance, since I now have none. It's not the job I wanted, nor will it allow me to quit the hell hole, but I guess I am resigned to it and will make the most of it. I just wish I vould have something go my way for a change.

good night

Just_Lin said...

Maureen Damn!!! I'm so sorry that didn't go that way you wanted it to. Something else will come your way that's even better. I just know it. (((HUGS)))

Tina~in_ut said...

Oh Mo~ I'm so sorry~ Isn't there another Hell Hole you could work at? I'd offer you my job, but the commute would just kill you~ I'm happy you at least will get insurance! And I'm confident that you will work your way up in the company! Did you tell them that you are the #2 crackwhore in the nest? Maybe that would help things along! :D xoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxo

Bear, tell Huz that $2 limits went out when saloons and stagecoaches did. You know, waaaay before porn on the internet.

Hint:Other casinos have lower limits, but not $2.

Hi gang !

Want2Sleep said...

Bear, please tell me weren't naked in the wavepool...

Want2Sleep said...

Okee dokee, I'll just chat with myself...

Zona said...

MARY/MI: Thanks for the kind words. Did you say..it's still winter there??

MO: I don't mind if you laugh, this time or the next dozen times I KNOW I'll do this same kind of thing. ;)

I am so sorry that things didn't work out the way you hoped they would. What fools they are for not giving you the position. {{HUGS}}

Good evening WANT!!
