The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions. Unfortunately, I must have been absent the day those genes were given out. I speak my mind. Most of the time it doesn't have the desired effect. So what's a girl to do? Call a few friends, have a few beers, and forgetabouit!!!!!

I'll have a grilled swiss cheese on rye please, please, please
Bobby: I'd like a plain omelet. No potatoes, tomatoes instead. A cup of coffee and wheat toast.
Waitress: No substitutions.
Bobby: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two — a plain omelet. It comes with cottage fries, and rolls.
Bobby: Yea, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.
Waitress: Well I'll come back when you make up your mind.
Bobby: Wait a minute, I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelet, no potatoes on the plate. A cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast. I'll give you a English muffin or a coffee roll.
Bobby: What do you mean "you don't make side orders of toast"? You make sandwiches, don't you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Bobby: You've got bread. And a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don't make the rules.
Bobby: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
Does this scene with Jack Nicholson from Five Easy Pieces remind anyone of something?
Docs, last Thursday:
Eileen: I want a grilled swiss cheese on Rye please, (OK, so I didn't say please)
Dumb Waitress: That's not on the menu.
Eileen: You have rye bread and swiss cheese don't you.
Dumb waitress: Yes
Eileen: So you can make a grilled swiss on rye.
Dumb Waitress: I don't know how I would write that on the check.
Eileen: How about this, You have Reuben's don't you.
Dumb waitress: Yes
Eileen: Just give me a Reuben sandwich and hold everything but the swiss cheese.
We all know what happened next.
After waiting for an hour and a half, no kidding. She brought out a grilled sauerkraut sandwich.(NO CHEESE ON IT)
I gave up.
Put Doc's on our list girls.
I have a tendency to be impatient with alot of people((I know, what a shocking revelation), waitresses and bartenders are usually not on that list. (I need their services too often) This girl couldn't possibly have been this stupid.
OK, I feel better now that I got that off my chest.
I didn't even feel the need to mention Joyce and the whole lost purse and car thing.
See you all tonight at Lot 17.
I will not be ordering grilled cheese.
