Don't forget the medicine

I was reading what I wrote about Joan a couple days ago and found a complete false statement. I said that she and I had survived "Cathy"....that is so untrue.....Cathy survived us, as we had her number and took every possible chance to let her know. For some reason Cathy did like me much better than Joan......which made no sense what so ever. Joan held her tongue with her a great deal of the time, whereas I basically didn't care and said whatever popped in my head. With that cleared up....on to other things......

Ran into Robert & Michelle Hundley in Barnes & Noble tonight. Robert & I went to high school together and have a pact....what happened there stays there....... Robert works for a company that has had him traveling to China for the majority of the past 2 or 3 years....I find great humor in this but won't get into that....We started laughing about dumb things that we've done and I still think he has the winner......a couple years back he was going to give his dog her heart worm medicine, without thinking he pops the pill into his own mouth and swallowed. He calls poison control and tells them what he's done, the person on the phone asked him, "sir why did you take the dogs heart worm medicine." By this time he's convince that death is near and gives the phone to his wife. Michelle is laughing so much that she could hardly contain herself....the poison control person tells Michelle that he should be okay and free of heart worms for 30 days. Robert informed me today that he hasn't had heart worms yet.....

Robert has done a great deal of stupid things.......jumping off of a building at the high school and breaking his leg; pulling the fire alarm in the dorm at Elon (which he will still deny) and many drunken moments...including his most recent: He had arrived in China and was met by the customer who took him to dinner; between 3 people they downed 3 bottles of scotch. The next morning when he got up, he called his wife to let her know that he had arrived okay. She told him, "I'm glad to hear that because I was concerned about you after you called last night." He has no memory of making this call or the things he said. He was giving me this concerned look of "please don't say anything to her about that trip I made to Chicago 8 years ago." LOL....he should know that I'm still saving that tidbit for a rainy day.

This is long and boring so don't forget.....heart worm medicine will not hurt you!
