When The Router Fries
I didn't realize how attached I was to my computer and the internet UNTIL the router fried. The technical support lady was gracious enough to ship out another but not until two days later.
Both my daughter and I watch tv shows on our computers since we don't have cable. We have an antenna but only get some of the channels but not all. We also use Instant Netflix, which is also an internet goody....so...
Without anything else to do, I amused myself by thinking about the lyrics to You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. I am so impressed that Dr. Seuss got by with saying all sorts of mean things about the Grouchy Grinch without having to use a single curse word. Some of these, I think I may even use. I like, "stink, stank, stunk".
Which phrase do you like?
You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
You're a mean one, Mister Grinch
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mister Grinch,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mister Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul, Mister Grinch,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a vile one, Mister Grinch,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mister Grinch,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the ... seasick crocodile!
You nauseate me, Mister Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mister Grinch,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, with arsenic sauce!
You're a foul one, Mister Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mister Grinch,
The three words that describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, Stank, Stunk!"
You're a rotter, Mister Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mister Grinch,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

I like the phrase:
Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul!
Stink, stank, stunk is also good.
Glad you're back with us!!!
Perhaps eliminating cursing would require too much creativity and thought for some.
Some of those phrases would have come in handy when responding to a teen.
I am glad you're back!
How is your job going?
My internet went down this week too and I thought I'd die!!! I was soooo lost!
Peace, Love and Chocolate

Have a great week!!
Blessings,
Jill
Glad you're back!
"You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mister Grinch...." I know i NEVER said that :-)
Glad your system is back up and running.

It's actually a bit scary how much we've come to rely on our "connection."
I'm a huge Seuss fan and own all of his books. They did a great job with this movie, didn't they?
I like "nasty wasty skunk".
By the way....in my personal experience, a little salt and pepper with just a dash of ketchup will make the fried router all it can be. I'm helpful like that.

I'm so happy you found a job! I'm just getting all caught up.
Meanwhile...I'm makin' fudge! :o)
God bless you sweetie and have a wonderful day.
My kids love the "stink, stank, stunk" part too!!!
'You have termites in your smile.'
If someone said this to me I think I would take more offense than a swear word!
