Don't Tell me That.....

If you are like me people like to tell you things you don't want to know. The basic TMI (too much information for those of you wondered). So I decided to impart my thoughts so in the future please refrain from sharing stories that are related to the following things:

1) When and if you have been able to move your bowels. Since I was a child my grandma (love you) has had a fastination with whether or not I poop. She would ask this question during dinner or whenever it would have the greatest chance of being slightly inappropraite. So if you want to tell me about your latest experience with the great bowl, please don't. While I hope it was fulfilling for you I think it will be alright if I don't know.

2) Any kind of intimate experience with your special someone. I have had friends in the past who have for some reason felt the need to share their very private lives with me(Rodney you know the story). Let's make a promise to each other(uncross everything because I am going to hold you to it) that you and I will keep these stories to: So you got 7 kids you need a hobby. ENOUGH SAID!!!!!

3) I do not want to know what color just came out of your nose.(Unless you are my child then daddy needs to know for some sick reason). I don't know how many time since I have had people reporting to me that people feel the need to tell me that they have been blowing green/brownish green/blue/fuscia stuff from the nose. That ruins may ability to eat lunch and dinner. Just tell me your under the weather and tell someone else what color the rain from your nose is. And if puss is involved send me an e-mail no need to tell me in person.(no pictures please)

4) Finally, let's not discuss politics. While I enjoy a good debate I fear that it will ruin how we feel about each other. Because if we are all honest they are all the same. They all have their own agenda and at the end of the day would change their mind for the next person to hand them enough money to get re-elected. People start the conversation in my office I tell them I voted for myself because I really believe that I have all the answers and that if they really valued their jobs they would vote for me too. Then they leave. I am not sure why. Do you???

So that is that. I not sure what set this particular thought in motion. However I would love to hear your thoughts or stories on things you would not want to hear about. In case my cuz Kelley reads this I promised to provide an on going weather report Sunny and 80 today. We are getting a cold front tomorrow though and it will only be 71 tomorrow. We will try to muddle through. Next time I will right about my wonderful, smart, gorgeous wife and my kids(did I remember it all :)). I got a great joke from my brother it took me a second to get and tell me what you think. Here it is: Skeleton walks into a bar and orders a drink and mop.( It will take a minute!!!!)

Have a great day and remember what my mom always told me JohnTomKim(she never could remember my name) whatever you do know that I don't have money for bail.

Well that was an interesting dialog on most body functions. Your descriptions were priceless and only those of us who lived the experience can appreciate the comments. Ha ha

You are the king of comparisons and you crack me up and today I needed to have a chuckle.

I think that sometimes we think people really do want to know how you are feeling and what happened the night before. When in all reality they were just being polite.

Well, the CEO and I are e-mailing each other about program staff and issues about services. How strange. She said she enjoyed working with me and I told her I appreciated the opportunity. Now she wants my opinion. So I tried to be diplomatic and tell her and now she is letting me know she really wants to know so I just told her. OOOOPPS May pay for this later and she might not think I as fun as she thought!!!

Well, I am sure the next round will be just as interesting.

Keep up the writing and I will keep reading.

Don't forget to wear clean underwear, carry a quarter to call if you need help and always look both ways when crossing the street.

Love you

Big Carol (mom)

Well, I'm sorry to say John that Kelley won't be able to talk to you any more. She is doing this colon cleanse thing and is sure this will help her lose some weight. Supposedly you lose lots of nasty things. So, I guess she won't be sharing with you about these things. :) Too bad, you're going to miss out.

Oh Cousin John...You are going to be so sorry you brought this up. There is no such thing as TMI!! As you just read in Sue's comment, I'm doing a complete colon cleanse. All my conversations these days somehow lead back to a poop story. It's AMAZING what comes out of you. Things you never imagined. They say the average person can have 5-25 lbs. of excess fecal matter build up in their colon, and 97% of us have parasites and don't know it. Go to bed thinking about that tonight! I do agree with the personal bedroom stories though. I have a brother who doesn't seem to know where to draw that line! :) Well, time to drink my nightly tea. Helps keep things a moving! Ha!

Well...isn't it funny that we all begin our sentences with a "well" or a "so"). ANYWAY, as my husband always says, I really don't have anything to add to your blog you said it all so well except for the few grammar issues and spelling errors I noticed. You would think that after all of the years of college and working making hundreds of thousands of dollars you would find the spell checker. Keep writing...I will keep reading and remember say nothing about me, I know where you live (wait no I don't but I could find it, I think).
