Um…Boy did I get quite a bit of email yesterday when I mentioned being naked with a bowl of Jell-O [grinning]. Someone who wrote in talked about taking a “Jell-O Bath“!!! I’d like to know more about this…I started thinking about it… And just how does one do this? I mean…In order to fill up a whole bath tub, you’d need about 3 full fridges of Jell-O. Wouldn’t this be like taking a cold shower? Perhaps Jell-O isn’t the way to go…Oh wait…It could be store bought and pre-made Jell-O. LOL! I can picture it now…Walking into the supermarket and stuffing 3 carts to the top with just Jell-O and checking out. Priceless!!!…This might be worth doing just to see the look on the check-out person’s face! This is also the sort of thing that should be captured on camera

Ok…:End of gelatin rant:

I looked at a Studio apartment yesterday with the hopes that it would be my future home. The two guys showing the place to me were very nice but the place itself…Well…It looked like a Motel 8 only not as nice. Their selling point was that someone from MTV’s Real World had once lived there. I just thought “poor guy“…And so…The hunt goes on.

Oh…Yesterday an email came from a friend to remind me that it was “Sweetest Day” and that I should call people and wish them a happy “Sweetest Day“….Well, this is a Michigan holiday. It’s made up and only celebrated in certain states…If I walked into a card store her in CA and asked “Where are the Sweetest Day cards?”…they would have me locked up. Other Michigan things we don’t have here are thing like “Fat Tuesday“…I think this is the day before Ash Wednesday where people give up sweets for Lent… And so on the Tuesday before they eat the most fattening doughnuts they can find… I could be wrong about this but I just know that I’ve asked people in CA about Sweetest Day and Fat Tuesday and they just look at me funny.

There’s actually quite a few sayings that will get me a strange look here if I say ‘em. Other than saying SODA instead of POP…A few other sayings like “party store” and “money machine” confuse folks. There’s more…But these are two that I recall getting teased over.

1. Party Store: n. This is a Michigan term than mean liquor store..Or a 7-11. Not a store that sells “happy birthday hats” or “Sweetest Day” cards

2. Money Machine:n. seemed obvious to me what this was…But for those scratching their heads..It’s an ATM machine.

Now…This works the other way around too. There was one saying that this Californian friend of mine used to say that just struck me as extremely ODD.

:drum roll up to the saying….:

1. “Flip a Bitch“ …This saying I STILL don’t get! One would think it means to give the middle finger to someone else maybe….Or make a female dog roll over….But what it means here is “to turn around“…Weird ay??? Here..I’ll say it in context…

[driving down the road] “hey Bob, Flip a Bitch at the next intersection“…The 1st time this was said to me…I was CLUELESS! I know what it means now..But I still don’t get it.

well…back to apartment hunting.
