When love ends

Annie Girardot was a great actress. In this segment, without saying a single word, she tells us everything...

Loudmouth

It happened again... A joke arrived from Mrsgunka, quickly followed by Grammy97 with the same joke. Synchronized sense of humour, that's what it is!

Thank you, ladies.

After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.


As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart, it’s Eric, I’m on the train – yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting .... – no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life – yes, I’m sure, cross my heart" etc., etc.

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by this interminable, loud, inane conversation, yelled at the top of her voice:

"Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!"

Eric no longer uses his cell phone in public.

Peace...

I've been a tad busy chasing my darling son, who's been giving us a bit too much to worry about lately. He seems to be on the right track to resolve his recent woes.

So I chose to post a calming picture. I would love to sit on those steps, basking in the sun, reading a good book and sipping a cool drink...

Feathered beauty

View_From_Here sent me some spectacular photos of birds a few days ago, but most of the pictures didn't download, so I tried to find them elsewhere on the internet, to no avail. Yesterday, Mrsgunka sent me the same photos, saying: "For View.... Our beautiful feathered friends!"

I thought it was wonderful, Mrsgunka unwittingly coming to the rescue and dedicating the photos to View.

A big thank you to both of them.

Too modern for me

Picture this: A guy is going out with a girl he disappointed three years ago but who still loved him enough to take him back and has supported and believed in him for the past six months.

Out of the blue, he refriends his latest ex on Facebook. It doesn't go down very well with the long suffering present girlfriend. Not content with the refriending, this guy goes on to post a comment on an old photo of himself lying with the ex on a beach like two lovebirds: "I would give the world to have this back."

Am I too old-fashioned to think that this is the behaviour of a cad? Am I out of step in thinking that Facebook is not the best place to break up with your present girlfriend in such a sneaky but very public way? Am I a lunatic to believe that a real man does it face-to-face, in a compassionate and considerate way, giving the girl a chance to say how she feels in order to achieve some closure?

I don't know if I'm finally getting too old for these newfangled social network interactions, but I'm very disappointed in somebody very near to me and I needed to vent!
