Woah!!! That did not go where I was expecting it to! Oh my god...and just seconds before I had been melting at the sweetness of the ice-cream sandwich gifts! Jeez, I'm glad you got out unbitten 😵
I hope you're finding your summer hours relaxing, my dear. Is the next Lamb instalment coming on the 9th? Not that I'm impatient or anything...💜
I know, right? I too was lulled by the ice cream sandwiches, but they were just bait for this little minnow... :D Yes, Lamb returns next Friday for more misadventures. Mwah! 🩷
"Then the family dog walked into the room and took a shit on the floor."
Great story, Troy! We will miss you in August and excited that my Mondays will be so fun. I've already discovered first period on Mondays are free, so I might just be caffeining with your stories :)
I know! Super freaky, but you know older people with a bit (or a lot) of dementia can become quite erratic (to say the least - did you see Kim's comment?) Thanks Michael!!
Omg. I just finished laughing with Dave about some quirky (to put it mildly) elderly I know. One ran over a person in her car and was charged with manslaughter. Another one’s husband shot himself after their meditation group, and a third was questioned for homicide when her husband died. I’ll add all these women are friends and are VERY spiritual, angel card altars and all. 😂
LOL. and WTF. Then again, when working in Customer Service you'll see (hear and read) things ... things better left in the past. Have a great August!
My acronyms exactly. Thanks A!
😂🥂 That was fun.

Talk about a (stylistic) drop:

Thanks Kate! What time's first period? ;)
Ha. That I don’t know!!
She bit him! How weird.
A wonderfully told tale, Troy. I always enjoy your non-fiction tone, you have a way of immediately getting me on your side. :)

Haha yeah I know, right.
It’s wild :)
Humans. What are you gonna do?
Amazing this is a real life story. Humans can be weird😆
Haha, oh my! Great read and wild story, Troy. Thanks for sharing. It's like a whole different world!
I laughed out loud at the dog taking a shit.
Definitely a different wavelength, definitely an education. ;) Thanks Nathan!
This was great fun, Troy, such an engaging narrative style.
Thanks Jeffrey!
Oh my holy fuck!!! Great piece. I howled (laughing) quite a few times. Brilliant.
Oh good, I was aiming for belly laughs. Thanks Sharon!
This post was… delicious. (Sorry.)
😂
Then the family dog walked into the room and took a shit on the floor. - That's like the number one rule....don't let your dog go on the floor!
This was hysterical, even more so cause it's all true! The adventures of a young Troy Ford!
Such a fruitful time - for writing, if not for designing. ;)
Bwahaha! I am hearing right now the scream-sing. “Fluff your pillows!”
Love these stories, the characters, the humor, the style. ;)
So glad you didn’t get a cheek bite. And yay for summer hours! Enjoy.
Thank you my dear - we took to screaming "Fluff your dirty pillows!" around the house to let off steam. *adjusts decolletage*
Perfect indulgence for a Friday when I should be working. Thanks for the laughs. I know this world well.
Thanks Julie! Don't miss it a bit. ;)
SHE DID NOT!!!!

Oh my! Talk about throwing the filters out the window as you get older! 😱😅
WOAH!
I know, right?! The makings of a new Netflix series. 😂
Design with a bite! What a gallery of crazy characters... fun read, Troy.
Thanks Martine!
