Hey, Girly. Hey, Brd.

Brd, yes, a short trip. I took my mother to Canberra - our Nation's capital - to see an exhibition of Post-Impressionists on loan from the Musee D'Orsay. They sent their entire collection down, but only to the National Gallery Canberra. We also went the the Australian War Memorial to see the name of a relative on the WWI Roll of Honor and to place some Flanders Poppies by his name. As he is buried in France, a visit to Canberra is easier. It is all quite moving.

It will be when the Mercedes needs tending to . . .

Um, hire a mechanic?

[Q]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:09am

You really want to be the one who has to deal with that?

Feel free.

I'm more thankful that I have a car guy in the house

I hire well.

[D2]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:15am

Me too, Q! I call him Driver. Amongst other things.

I just realized I got a Mercedes in Q's prediction of my future. Ooooh.

Which will require work on your part, Shira. However you slice it.

[shira467]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:28am

Naturally. Think I can handle it?

[Q]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:32am

I would never question your intent, that's for sure.

But, I think maybe you don't realize what I'm referring to is the mundane task of monitoring all that nonsense.

Do not EVEN FOR A SECOND try and tell me that you wouldn't prefer to just have the car in pristine operating condition without any involvement on your part.

And THAT'S where boys and cars come in handy

From the First Wive's Club

DIANE KEATON, ACTRESS: Well, I gave Darren(ph) a home and I gave him a daughter. I washed his shorts. I ironed them and I starched them.

GOLDIE HAWN, ACTRESS: You did?

MIDLER: You did?

KEATON: Yes. Well, I mean, I supervised.

Shira, that's my line and you know it. You are too young to use it - I've earned it.

[Q]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:38am

Honey, as appealing as those grease monkies might seem, there's a HUGE difference between orchestrating a house staff and standing around in a garage making sure the tires are rotated.

Deet, it's my mantra. You should be proud.

Q - I'm goin' for the household stiff approach. I mean staff. Well, either work

[D2]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:41am

Oh Shira. Shut up.

[shira467]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:42am

Don't you miss my stressed-out speechlessness?

[D2]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:45am

Oh please, no one was buying that routine, darlin'.

[shira467]

Posted: 2/11/10 at 12:46am

I guess I need to practice.
