I thought it would last forever...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236) 3 years ago

but now...











everything seems to be falling out of place.
We met at Target and were friends at first sight.

I knew of him from a friend of a friend at a summer
party and I was glad to finally meet him where I
knew he'd be. He was so cool, a great listener, and
a super fun entertainer. I felt so lucky. It was too
good to be true and all of the other girls were jealous.

My friends LOVED him. He always showed us a good time.
And before I knew it, he was meeting my parents
and making delicious fruit drinks for us.

Boy, did he know how to blend. He could replace a
Blendtec Smootherâ„¢ Bar Blender any day. That was
just a goofy compliment we were always giving him.
Who needed a bartender when we had him around?

He encouraged my family to drink healthier beverages
and even got us to try Kiwis and mangos, which we had
never touched before. I was in love. My family was in love.

With the Kiwis and mangos. Oh, and I loved him too. He
got me interested in a new hobby and I couldn't be happier.
My friends and family have even been introduced to this new
hobby. He certainly changed our lives and made life so sweet.

It's been a few years since then and he isn't the same anymore.
He's much different than when I first met him at Target and
brought him home to meet my parents and relatives. Even my
Grandmother liked him, but he seems distant from everyone now.

He just can't grind at parties like he used to. He seems so sad that
he can't entertain anyone anymore. I told him to take things slow
and not try to impress everyone with his talents, but he just won't
listen to me. He's burning himself up and it's hard for my family
and I to watch. He's getting louder and angrier and it upsets me.
I love him and I will always love him, but yesterday I made the decision
and told him that it's just time for him to move out and go his own
separate way.


Now I am free and I've never felt better. I think I'm going to go to
Williams-Sonoma tomorrow. I saw one of their own in there and
he looks so fine. I think he could be the one...he looks like he can
blend and mix delicious smoothies for a long, long time. Ahh....
Hello, new blender.

thumbup very cool...i totally wasn't expecting it to be about a blender.

i think i have a blender, somewhere, maybe in a cupboard with all the other stuff i don't use.


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

My mother has this book called, The Big Book of Juices and it could be the best book I've ever read. lol. The book got us hooked on fruit drinks, so we are constantly buying fruit, freezing it, and plopping it in the blender on hot summer days. I made some pineapple-strawberry-banana smoothies yesterday. They were sooo good. wubhappy I want some more...

Now that was some creative writing there..and a good read. I love my food processor named Oscar But my blender moved out last year..and so far we haven't replaced him..I love blending stuff..And that there lies the problem with my hips....to many milkshakes..lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

I looove my blender. Any blender for that matter...lol. My family buys loads of fruit, chops it up, puts 'em in separate bags, and freezes the bags. I've been mixing all kinds of fruit combinations, but my fav so far has been approx. 2 handfuls of chopped strawberries-2 or 3 pineapple chunks-1/2 banana - little bit of apple juice and plain yogurt. It is so good. And the smoothie is only made with fruit and natural yogurt, so it's healthy. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (11320)   ranked 504 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

That sounds really good and healthy I will check that out since it has everythign I like in it..can't go wrong with it. My sunbeam Oscar is just like a Blender.Food processor..I use it for just about everything..

Great twist there Stef! thumbup Personally I thought it was going to end up being a pie maker, so havong a blender kick in at the end instead was a pleasant surprise! Word of advice if I could? Don't ever expect a long lasting relationship to be borne from any chain of events that commences with a Target. whistle


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

Advice taken...



















































And thrown into nearest garbage can...

7. myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (1076)   3 years ago

At times like this I like to draw on the great bard, William Shakespeare, for inspiration :)

In the words of Polonius: "Neither a borrower nor a blender be!"


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  3 years ago

;taps stef on shoulder, points up to Dogg; Hey...does this guy REMIND you of someone? whistle


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

Do I know you? I think I know you. happy

I like to draw on this great quote to express my sadness for a friend who cancelled his account some time ago.


"I don't cry over spilt milk, but a fallen scoop of ice cream is enough to ruin my whole day." ~The Quote Garden


Just my day.

Not week or anything...whistlerasp


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (1076)  3 years ago

Just your day, eh?

Well I suppose how grateful I am depends on how long your day is. Is it a full 24 hours, which equates to 1440 minutes or 86400 seconds? That sounds great. :)

Or is your day somewhat less?

8 or 10 hours maybe. Hmmm then I am already cutting deep into it and my does time fly when you are under pressure like this.

Of course we also have this time zone difference going on which may reduce it even further. Or does it increase it? I suppose it depends on whether you are starting the clock or I am.

I wonder if I could change Polonius' quote to "Neither a worrier nor a blender be"

Do you think Shakespeare would mind? /..\


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

Nah, I don't think Shakespeare would mind...

"Neither a borrower nor a blender be!"

I have no idea what that means. You probably noticed that I completely ignored your response. lol. I have NEVER been able to understand Shakespeare. cry Do you think he would mind? blush


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (1076)  3 years ago

I did noticed, but I put it down to the intervention by Irish possibly putting you off your stride.

If you are unfamiliar with Shakespeare then I have a confession to make. The actual quotation taken from Hamlet is:

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be"

That of course makes sense as you can lose friends or money if you don't follow the advice. I just added a b to lender to fit in with your discussion. As usual I have failed miserably to raise even the slightest titter. :(

Ah well, back to the drawing bored :P


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

lol Honestly, the only play I've read from Shakespeare was "Romeo and Juliet" and I HAD to read it in 9th grade. I had to make a diary of myself as Juliet. Oooooo! Let me see if I can find it! I wrote some strange stuff in there...


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (1076)  3 years ago

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?

Of course of all Shakespeare's plays, if you had to pick one to read. That is the best for young romantics :)

I have been to Juliet's balcony in Verona and the entrance is far from romantic. Full of graffiti and chewing gum stuck to the walls. Old Willie sure had a way with words.

I'd love to hear your personal experience of 'being' Juliet. Forsooth! haha

Sweet?

I think he is far from flattering in his comparison between his mistress and the natural world. haha

Hair like wire, annoying voice, breath that stinks? :o

The Brothers Grimm's description of Snow White is far sweeter :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. steflane (1236)  3 years ago

but he loves her for who she is anyway and refuses to make false comparisons...(last two lines) happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (1076)  3 years ago

Thanks for the BR, steflane!

Unlike Shakespeare's mistress, I certainly can't view it as a back-handed compliment.

A BR by any other name is still a BR.

Have a nice day :)
