I don't hear what I don't want to hear.
I don't see that unwanted hair unless I put my reading glasses on to look in the mirror.
 
I don't see young couples in the restaurant looking into one another's eyes. They are looking into their phones.
Look into her eyes! That's where the magic is!

I was in Trinity Bellwoods Park on Satuday, and amid the blossoming trees, countless clueless millennials, proudly took pictures of their own faces, to preserve digitally what they used to look like. Why don't they just look in a mirror, I pondered. Then it occurred to me: They're ashamed to do that, because they are so selfish, and so self-centered. To paraphrase John Donne, 'each one is an island, unto themselves'. It's sad.

Parents teaching their kids how to shoot....


They still teach kids that down here. They also make them say Yes sir/ma'am No sir/ma'am. If they are permitted to call a grown woman by her first name, her name is preceded by Miss.

Now if they would only start making them stay at their own damn table and not cause chaos in a restaurant!

Politeness is a dying art in children.

As for tying them to chairs in restaurants.........We can call it the polite child seatbelt.

There's a restaurant out near Charlotte that recently banned children under 12. I'd pay extra to eat there.

Oh here's another thing you don't hear anymore -- Smoking or NonSmoking?

Ma'am Can I have smoking but no drinking
 
There's a "private" club here in town where they allow smoking inside. I hate going there, it's a haze.

Even as a smoker I like restaurants being non smoking.

Bacon and pork references by the kindergarten recess crowd, who know who they are.

The word 'sammich'

Emogie posts, following a quote. If one does not have the stones to say something, they should say nothing.

A picture is worth a thousand words. An emogie post is a selfie that says 'I just wanted to say that I have nothing to say'. Someone's current emotional status should not be of any interest to anyone else, unless one is reading Instagram comments made by people who don't speak English.
