I agree with Brunhilda about giving your address to a stranger on Craig's list. I'm glad you survived the delivery.
That was an expensive three weeks of blending at forty dollars. Nearly two dollars a day.
Fun reading, Mary.
Loved the videos.

I know, I had a lapse in judgement 🙄 Thank you for the read and review, Ellen. Much appreciated!
Comment from alleewin
You are hilarious! I mean your stories are hilarious.
' offered a position I had recently interviewed.....' It might be okay. My grammar is far from what it should be so I really shouldn't make a comment.
I love Brunhilda's comment about T...horny Donald, and a situation that would not be contained in any secret emails.
I have the same problem with my phone and with computers. I tried to play your video of Leila and I got a video of a lady telling me how to organize my underwear drawer. I am always sending a text to the wrong person.
Your story is very funny and deserves six stars.
Win.

That video share supposedly of Jack LaLanne swimming netting you a panty organizer is further proof of my technical failings...i will look into that...last night it morphed into Rush Limbaugh spewing something, which I removed and resubmitted. Thanks for the heads up on that, and your wonderful review and SIX! Thank you so much, Win. Greatly appreciated, and did change the job sentence--you were right!

I don't think the video was your mistake.
I am definitely computer illiterate.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, it's not Monday, but here ya go, for what it's worth - my review. I have been arrested. No, I am not kidding. Please bring bail money. My neighbors called the cops. They reported strange choking sounds coming from my apartment, apparently - said they'd never heard anything quite so awful. I tried to explain to the nice officers that it was just me gasping and choking with laughter, my asthma and allergies acting up this time of year, but they wouldn't believe me.
They did go the distance and checked with my neighbors again to see if they could confirm my story. Said the neighbors (those Nosy Parkers) - they never, ever heard me laugh like THAT! So the coppers insisted I'd hidden my victim's body, and with enough time cooking my heels in the clinker, I'd confess.
Anyway, here's a six in pay-off. Bake a cake and put a file inside it just in case the judge doesn't set bail. At least Bruni and I will enjoy some dessert while we rot away incarcerated. You write 'funny' too well. You owe me.

Hahahahaha, I greatly needed your six on this to counter the three I was rudely awakened to early this morning. You can bet I dropped a few FOOOOOOK bombs. Your review could be a post in itself :) "Endowed" cake will arrive by homing pigeon on Christmas eve (my pidgies are old, slow but very reliable). They've promised not to nibble as they fly...Thank you for your RR&R and getting my sanity back this Tuesday afternoon. :) XO

Excuse me while I have a stroke, would you?!!! Mary, here is what I have to say about anyone who would rate that brilliant story with three stars - and I have not yet gone to find out who it was - it is an indication of that person's ability to tell someone how foooking 'cute' he or she is (the moron)!
-
p.s. I shall never again call you 'cute', even in jest.
-
You can call me anything you like as long as you don't assign me a three star review ;D
-
Geez, Mary, all joking aside, I'm sorry - your humor is just not something some people can understand, but it's their loss, truly. It's just a shame they ALSO don't get the absurdity of a rating system that allows unqualified reviewers. I mean, I do understand WHY the rating system exists--to stay in business, any business has to be profitable and this system works to that end (for those unable, for whatever convoluted reason, to achieve the required feedback) --nonetheless, there are ones like you who fall through the cracks. You SO deserve an exploding status!!!
But take heart--remember this is a vanity site. Make your writing work for you elsewhere (REAL $) and have the last laugh. Take what IS good from this site and forget the rest, though I do know (just as recently as yesterday - LOL) how impossible that is at times...
Comment from Dan Sparks
I got a kick out of this. Good structure, I could follow along very easily and enjoyed the lightheartedness of the post. If I have to say something that could be improved that would be nitpicky and that is the big gap that appears between the cookie diet back in full swing and the video links. It could just be formatting on this site however. Anyway I enjoyed it!

So good to hear, Spartan. I appreciate your review and time in reading a longer submission. I will scoot over to your site to do the same before the day is over. Have a great Tuesday, and I do believe the gapping is a site issue, as I've tried to delete blank lines to no avail.

Hi Debbie, thank you for the wonderful review and nit fixes. They have been corrected. I appreciate you taking the time to read and then review this story. It would seem in my experience, prose is the red-headed step child on this site, so always appreciative of my reviewers. I will visit your page before the day is over to return the favor. Have an awesome day!
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
LOL! At least you have a sense of humor about it. I must say the thought of you being horny for Donald's rump sent me straight to the cookie jar!
I buy and sell on Craigslist and always with satisfaction. Sorry you got a bum juicer. Mine is great. It blends up a cookie shake in no time! :)

Hahaha, to be very clear, Phyllis, Donald's rump does NOTHING for me, nor does any other part of his repulsive being, and find Hillary as equally repulsuve. I'm going to have to go back and see where you got that impression now, haha
Thank you for your hilarious RR&R, Phyllis! Much appreciated!

Where you removed T from Thorny and Trump!

Isn't it amazing that people chose THESE TWO AHOLES out of hundreds of million citizens? What were they thinking? Pence would be a good prez. Any of the other 17 republicans, but not Bernie. Sorry, Bernie, but you're living in a fantasy world. Where are all the good democrats? Why didn't more of them challenge Hillary? Afraid of repercussions? I wouldn't put it past her and her corrupt, dangerous, buddies.
-
Yes, it is amazing. I am sick to my stomach about it all. It has come to the decision of voting for the next in line as a plausible strategy in the event...
Comment from Halfree
It might be me, a relict from another age, but I found this hard to follow. The chit-chat and parenthetical asides were somewhat overdone and over used; I had difficulty keeping on the story. I noted that videos were added to the narrative, I didn't open them, could not think of a good reason why I should do so.
There is a lot of humor in this story but it is buried in a lava flow of words and asides. Then again as I noted, I might just be out of touch and stuck in a time long passed.
In summary,I think the story looses its punch with the many asides and hard to follow parenthetical statements.
But then again, it might just be a generational gap.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine this Tuesday morning, Halfree. Though your input has been thoughtfully considered, I beg to offer that instead of criticizing something you admit to not understanding due to either generational gap or a style of writing that is foreign to you, just pass on the piece rather than inflict a three star assessment.
Just a though for you to consider. Now go and make it a five star day, Hal.
Comment from Heidi M
I can SO relate to the mix up with messages! I read those Haribo sugarless gummi best reviews a while back and they are hysterical.
Thanks for sharing another funny day in your life.

Thank you so much, Heidi, for another great review. I remember the first time the Haribo reviews came to my attention, I was trying to read them aloud to my husband as he readied for work one morning. We were both laughing so hard, I could hardly finish each descriptive sentence before starting another. Hilarious!!
Comment from Gloria ....
What an entertaining trip through well the shortest distance between two cookies?
I got a charge out of viva-la-gloria making out with herself in the mirror. That was not me, Scouts honour. ;-)
Adding in the real messages really brings to story to full fledged brilliant comedy.
And you have got to be kidding me? Sugarless Gummy Bears? I am on my way.
Most entertaining and wonderfully written account, Mary.

An interesting piece. It is written both realistically and humoristically. I do not text so some parts are hard for me to understand. the piece flowed right along and I found it an enjoyable read.

Thank you, Winnona, for your RR&R. You are smart to stay away from texting...it is a worm hole! I appreciate your input and thank you for taking the time to review it.
