Don't Be a Grouch

Oh what fun to deal with work grouches . . . there was ALWAYS a grouchy co-worker or even boss. Maybe they even thought that of me . I grew up with Sesame Street, so I've always been a fan of Oscar the Grouch. Maybe I should take pics of some of the better pages and msg it to ya! Last week's rain was heavy - believe me the ground is still saturated. No more for now - it appears we will be quite warm the rest of the week. But who knows about next week . . . by Sunday it's supposed to get a little cooler anyway. I hope you get some rain (just not the super heavy kind!).

Yeah, they were fun, I was the bouncy happy morning person and drove all of em nuts, they'd see me coming and hide As long as it rains late at night and not for too long I'm ok with it but if it rains during the day it gets way too muddy which Roscoe tracks inside. It's not too cold during the day but from about 6pm til about 10am it's been cold ..... to me cold is anything below 55f. I really don't know much about Sesame except for kermit & miss piggy, by the time it started I was in my teens. I do remember Captain Kangaroo though, never saw a lot of his shows but I was still young enough to enjoy what few shows I saw. OMG, I'z olddddddddd.

@rebelann I would've loved to have you as a co-worker ! Anti-grouch . Does Roscoe enjoy the rain? I wonder if they have doggie rain boots. I wore my rain boots all last week . . . it rained day and night . . . for long stretches of time which of course is rare here. We have less "mud" out in back because we have those weeds again . . . we can step on all that green now . It's been mid 70s thus far . . . tonight I stepped out and it really wasn't all that cold. Weird how the weather switched like that. I don't know about next week though. I think below 60 is cold enough for me. Kermit is classic. Miss Piggy was part of The Muppets - which came after - but I loved all of Jim Hensen's creations. Captain Kangaroo - I used to watch him all the time though I don't remember any specific thing now. I remember his haircut and red jacket . Believe me, I'm feeling it too .

Hee hee - I could never see you as grumpy . How is your husband doing?

@much2say - This morning he was very grumpy, now he is calm again. Some days are better than others.

@LadyDuck What was his "excuse" to be grumpy?

I guess for some it's easier to remain grouchy rather than be proactive to make a change.

At least The Grinch changed his ways . . . maybe someday Oscar the Grouch can do the same. But I dunno about the human ones . . . some of them seem to stay in that mode .

@much2say I seriously doubt Oscar will change his ways, either.

@DaddyEvil Right. If Oscar changed, he wouldn't be as interesting, so he'd get booted out of Sesame Street .

We can admit to being grouches and at least be honest about it . I can be like that after a night of blah sleep (which is often ).

@noni1959 Ha - love it! We grouches, unite - well, after coffee .

@much2say I admit it, I can be a top grouch and win a grouch contest if any one talks to me before my morning coffee.

Yes, too many grouches around. I'm glad there are nicer folks like you in this world . . . there's got to be a balance!

@LindaOHio We did - thank you! Happy belated Thanksgiving to you!!

@much2say Thanks. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Right - there's no need to encourage any more grouchiness - there's too much of it as it is!!

I sure know this! No one messes with my OceanTiara Sistah! No grouches allowed!

@much2say

I can't tell you enough how fortunate you are! Plenty of grouches around here.

You seem to keep positive and go with the flow . . . for the most part not a grouchy Horse.

@TheHorse Ohhhh, do not mess with TheHorse !

@much2say But I don't forget. Don't stand three feet behind me if you done me wrong.

Art form - so true! I suppose being a true grouch requires some finesse .

Right. We should also try to avoid things that may cause grouchiness .
