So Tired

I slept even worse than usual. I drove to doctor’s appointment. There was a hospital emergency, so I had to wait quite a bit. It wasn’t the worst of news, but it could have been better. I drove to another crafts place. There seems to be about four different latch-hooks patterns in the whole county. So I purchased one that’s okay. I drove and made Tacos Adobada for the natives.

Monday, I think, Number Two Son and I will drive to his new job in Chicago.

I was tired that I accidently ordered an invasion, but I was so exhausted that I never started the darn thing.

Take care. You’re important to me.

How to Swear in French

 

Hi, gentle readers, people often ask me, “How I do I say, ‘Go feck yourself’ in French?

As always, I’m happy to address my readers’ concerns. Also, I’ve just come from an appointment for an MRI. Even though I’d booked the appointment a week ago online, the receptionists said they had no such appointment. I could, however, schedule an appointment for September 21. Unfortunately, my regularly scheduled appointment with my primary doctor is on September 16.

So this.

Just to remind you, just as Americans say, “Sleep with” instead of “I fecked,” the French use “Baiser,” or “to kiss” as their euphemism.

OK, tell the offending Frenchmen, “Allez baiser une vache.”

This is the polite way to tell him to feck a cow. However if you wish to be insulting,  substitute the formal conjugation of “go” or “allez” with the informal “vas.” Use of the informal conjugation is reserved for listeners who are young kids, married folks, or your palpable inferiors.

So, if you aim to insult the French clod, say, “Vas baiser une vache.”

I hope this helps enhance your French vactions.”

À toute à l’heure.
