My MIL leaves long, rambling, slowly spoken incoherent gibberish involving blessed nouns, adverbs, and adjectives. And she pronounces her Rs like Ws "Bwed" for bread.

I actually have no idea what her messages are about anymore, I just skip them and tell my wife.

This is pretty funny. We have a lot of people around here say it. I see it more at work than anywhere else. I think I am going to start to tell people "Shine on you crazy diamond" and see what happens. I could start a new movement, or maybe a new religion.

I've been hearing 'have a blessed day' a lot lately here, too. I thought it was the, uh, culture change.

I wish, just once, a student would end our conversation with "you've been very helpful. Have a great fucking day!"

"Shine on you crazy diamond" and see what happens. I could start a new movement, or maybe a new religion.

I'd join.

To get out of jury duty, I end all of my replies with "as it is written in the Prophecy."

day two:

oh, look at that. I missed her call again.

this time, the message gives some indication about the nature of her need. She wants to ask me about refinancing her loan to get a lower monthly payment.

.....time goes by.....

I called her back, and she answered on the first ring.
..answered her questions.....told her i can't re fi her...she has to go do that on her own....


oh well.....that's that then.

In French, "blesser" (BLESS-say) means "to wound".

"Vous me blessez" (Voo meh BLESS-say) = You hurt me

ironic, non?

no irony involved. just arrogance and stupidity trying to foist itself off as being intellectual.

so does it still qualify as a blessed day if she has to do it on her own? or does it now revert to a 'fuck-ed day' - ?

That's a great point. I mean you might presume that this saying is offered in a spirit of generosity. However, specifying that any one particular day should be blessed implies that at least some of the other days were NOT blessed. And, to my way of thinking, that kind of contradicts the concept of infinite grace and mercy. "Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God, except on those days that aren't blessed. Then you're just fucked all to hell."
