NO idea, i thought it was a male Biblical name. but she’s pretty and manages to carry it off.
would be tougher if she was a mannish looking bull dyke.
Nicely done...however I think that is a Texans joke
Of course not.....which is the other part of why I refrained ;-)
You mean as in quoting Streisand songs?
How funny!
it certainly does. you would want to be firm with the guy but worried that he would go off and do something horrible.
We had a strange situation yesterday. My husband called the limo service that we generally use for the airport. He had been calling several limo services until he found our regular ride. A lady answered and he said he’d call back, once he located tham because he wanted to get his tickets to the phone.
When he called back, a man answered who had the gravelly voice of our regular driver. My husband, startled, so “I was just talking to your wife...” and the man blew up on the phone babbling about “How do you know my wife, why were you talking to her, my wife doesn’t work for the company, oh, the dispatcher, why do you think my wife is the disipatcher, are you stalking her, I’m going to report this number to the police and you can talk to them.”
My husband finally said forget it and hung up. This morning he made the reservation, and I sure hope we don’t get this driver. I’ve only had 2 from this company, and I hope they send the other one.
OMG that is weird!
Yes it is. I’m a little worried about riding with this guy, or having him pick us up late at the airport in 2 weeks.
well hopefully you won’t have to deal with him, but certainly i hope that he would respond to calm and reason ie; proclaming no interest in him or his wife and only wanting a ride to the airport, for starters!
Dana is a ditz. Cannot stomach her at all. Quit watching the show long ago. Unfollowed her on twitter.
He wouldn’t let my husband get a word in edgewise. He just went on this aggressive, threatening rant. I suppose he never called the police, because we never heard from them.
I agree. At first I liked her — mostly because of her association with Bush. But, I’ve found her to be self centered and tiresome.
I started disliking her when she said one day that she didn’t like children. The end of it, hoever, came when she told some stupid story about herself trailing toilet paper down the street that was caught in the waistband of her pants.
TMI!
Well have the police on speed dial and you call them if he starts acting loony, should you get him!
LOL, that happened to us once..we were in a Sears, and there was a guy in a Red Shirt and Khakis and we said, “excuse me, can we ask” and the guy wigged, screaming I do not effing work here” and stormed off....
Hardly Ribald...lol. Ghey maybe..but it was my moms preferred music, lol
