Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for June 21, 2024

“Now is time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin”……..

Most visitors bring joy when they arrive, but a few when they finally leave. Thankfully applies rarely.

The door mat says “Welcomish, depends on who you are and how long you stay” or “Welcome, please leave by 9”

Fish and visitors smell in three days – Ben Franklin. Given the hygiene standards of the times, it was probably more literal then.

Sometimes one can see and hear friends too frequently. Appreciation lags.

After the visitors drive away, then you can jump up and down and shout with joy.

I don’t know if this is a Spanish thing or not, but whenever we go to Spain to visit my in-laws, when guests come to visit and they say they have to go now, they are still there standing in the doorway talking for another half hour before they actually leave. Really weird. Why say you have to go if you are going to stay a while longer anyhow.

“Hate to see you go, bye.”

Yes.

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Time moves slower the longer the relatives are in the house.

Now that you mention it, bye, have a nice day.

Especially if they leave a tip.

.. as long as it’s not that “looong Minnesota goodbye”… (ring a bell with anyone? Lol!)
