Then tells me to sit down after I put the hot pads on the table.
ME: Would it be easier to ask me if you could sleep on the spare bed here?
Well, I brought the property (house/residential), the Owners wanted a quick sale because they brought an RV, loaded everything they wanted on it and was “Out spending their children’s inheritance”.

HIM: I love lobster but….
ME: “Would you like to join us? You can hear the tale of the busted window!”
SISTER: SHUT THE FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKK UPPPPPPPPPP you biiiiiiiiittttttttchhhh!
What is the rudest/meanest thing a family member has said to you?
HIM: Yeah, the new owner made me breakfast, I’m starving!
ME: Laughing
He then tells me that he’s going to take the blind dog out for a walk. But the dog kept taking him back home (next door). So much for the dog walking, he wound up carrying the dog back over here because he wouldn’t get up after lying down on his front porch!
Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?
ME: NO!
HIM: Yeah I did move, I’m on vacation, I came down to visit Mom and Dad….
HIM: HEY! That’s not nice! Apologize!
HIM: He then goes through a bunch of hotels and motels, trying to find a room - cheap and as early available entry hours. The earliest one he could find was 11 AM, about 5 miles away.
SISTER: OOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
I then said “Backyard”, so he took him to the back yard. Then I heard the dog howl-bark (he doesn’t make a sound, unless there’s absolutely something drastically wrong). I just ran into my own door, because he opened it while I was heading out to the door to find out why the dog was howling and howl-bark and then he grabbed me and said “Sorry! I was going to say they’re home! But I didn’t see (name of other dog)!”
ME: (Giving my full name and he just stood there)
HUSBAND: Sure, hell, let’s eat!
And I went to finish up the soup and the neighbors next door came over, and they were literally SHOCKED to see their old neighbor’s son next door answering my front door! Their dog was so happy they were home, and his tail was knocking everything off within its reach, almost toppling over the living room lamp!
2025 U.S. Nationals: Day 1 Finals Live Recap - SwimSwam
ME: (goes back and makes another order) Would you like to take a shower?
ME: Yeah, it’s over there in the top drawer.
ME: About another half hour before the meat goes back into the pot.
The Rest of the day was pretty quiet. Late in the afternoon, My mom calls, and said “He’s (my son) is going to spend the night, you can swing by in the morning to pick him up! We’re all beat! Heading to bed early tonight!” I then said “Fine, see ya’ll tomorrow.” I phoned the dispatcher to find out if they had any knowledge when he (my husband) would be heading home, and was advised he’s still heading out to Seattle, probably won’t be back around here any time soon, probably a good 2 weeks or so.
HIM: No dummy! You know I always have that window set, because of work? Remember? It was the only way I could come home from work around 11 at night was through the window.
ME: Well, I am sorry to report this, but again, your parents sold me the property. They no longer live here and I couldn’t give you any other information except they took off RV’ing and exploring the North America, as I did hear them remark “We’re heading off to Canada.”

I then said “Where’s your car or truck?”
WIFE: “FOR GOODNESS SAKES GET OUT OF HER KITCHEN NOW!”
ME: (smiles)

SISTER: WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???????
HIM: Please!
HIM: At our old home?
HIM: I’d probably shoot and ask questions later.
HIM: Opens the refrigerator door, spies the lobster meat, grabs a piece!
ME: Yessssssssssssssssssssss! (reminding him of his sister)
Can you share a picture of your favorite outfit and explain why you love it?
ME: (Gives him a thumbs up)
HIM: (puts $20.00 bill under the phone) - dials - gets his sister (who apparently just came home from work - a grouch).
HIM: (Yelling back) AWESOME DUDE! (Pauses) SORRY! AWESOME SOUTHIE!
Broadcom CEO On VMware Renewals, VCF Customers And Tomahawk 6 - CRN Magazine
HIM: (thanking me and tries to eat and with the headset propped up on his shoulder)
ME: Sure.
SISTER: FFFFFFF….
HIM: (laughing) Yeah, that’s about right!
(Gets up and grabs a jar and returns to the table with a fork)
ME: (Laughing) Yes, you’re old enough to be my son!
SISTER: Sooooooooooooooo where’s mom and daaaaaaaaaadddddd?
HUSBAND: Spoil sport!
WIFE: (smacks him)
ME: No your brother is not going to jail. I am not calling the police.
HIM: Oh sorry Ma’am Reverend, Priest, (stumbling for words)
I then told him to “sit down on my son’s chair.” He then said “in a minute, cleaning up…” I then realized he wasn’t a threat, so I went to the garage and got a plywood board and we made it fit (temporary cover).
SISTER: Yeah buttttttttttttttttttttt…. You moved!
HIM: He really doesn’t know my parents!
Then I saw my son’s bedroom nightstand light go on, and there was this, young guy, who looked like he was about 24–25 years old, picking up the glass (broke the window), and with my gun pointing right at him.
HIM: Lord, Father God, I ask you to bless this lovely dinner tonight and I am ever thankful that I was never shot! Lesson learned. I will appreciate tonight’s dinner forever! AMEN!
HIM: I did it!
NEIGHBOR (WOMAN): Well, xxxxx (his first name), it’s good to see you! But you know your mom and dad doesn’t live here anymore, right?
HUSBAND: What did your dad say about your profanities?
SISTER: What the ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkk? You’ve got the entire neighborhood in the houssssssssssssssssssssse?
HIM: Please don’t mimic my sister!
ME: (turns speaker phone on and sets the headset down)
HIM: You’re too old…. (then realizes what he just said) I mean, I mean…
ME: Why not? You’re both adults! They can do whatever they want, they don’t need your permission!
The former neighbor’s son then grabs a couple more soup bowls and sets the table. And he then pops bread in the broiler that’s been buttered and garlic.
He stood there, and said “This was busted from the outside in. Did you call the police?”
BOTH are talking, and apparently his sister is surprised that Mom and Dad had sold the house, they didn’t tell her either.
(I walk him to the hall linen closet, gives him some towels, and he went outside to his motorcycle and grabbed some clean clothes, his soap, shampoo, hairbrush, electric razor, Toothbrush and toothpaste, and other necessities. He pulls his shirt off and I saw him put into another side bag, and I realized that’s his dirty laundry and I tap on the window and “using my finger” - pointing to his dirty clothes and inside. So he lugs all his dirty clothes and brings it inside. Once he comes back inside, and he said “Washer in garage?” Which I nodded yes, so he put his dirty laundry in the garage and said “I will wash it once I get done with the shower.”)
He then assumed I was related to the dog’s parents, because he said “Please tell Mr and Mrs xxxx, that I will pay for the window, I was trying to go back home.”
HIM: Cool! Thanks Southie!
ME: Just ask.
To the fact he was picking up glass, he then said “So sorry, I was going into my bedroom and couldn’t figure out why my window wouldn’t open, so I forced it open and broke the glass.” (he was becoming teary eyed). I had a broom and dustpan right there in the hallway closet and pulled that out and kicked it over towards him while turning on the lights above (ceiling fan), and then told him “Garbage can is right there, beside my son’s desk.”
WHY?
He grabs the soup ladle and serves everyone.
WIFE: (FIRST NAME) Mind your manners! We have to say the grace here!
ME: Yeah I could have too but I didn’t!
I’m brewing coffee, and he then says “I hope that’s a full pot you’re brewing.”
GLASS MAN: (Eye rolls) and within 25 minutes, he got the glass repaired and it was all safe and sound.
I then asked, “Is your mom and dad’s names xxxx and xxxx (last name)?” He said “Yeah, I’m (xxxx) first name.”
HIM: _________!!!???__________
ME: Gee! Thanks a lot! I’ve spared you but you wouldn’t spare me?
HIM: Yeah, I supposed dad retired, that was their plans. Not surprised, but what I am surprised is, they never told me.
HIM: Yeah, and bad enough, she thinks she’s cool! If she talked like that to Mom - Mom would have slapped her brains to the other end of the street. And if she talked like that to Dad - well, she wouldn’t have any body parts left!
While this one here may cause many people’s eyes to open! No criminal charges were filed! In fact, a case and event like this is super-rare!
Then her husband begins to eat.
HIM: That’s why I am calling you to find out if you knew!
HIM: You’ve never met my parents have you?
SISTER: WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!!!!!
HIM: (in background) Yeah I know, I am at her house, at our old house.
ME: I know some parents who fits the bill of what you’ve described!
SISTER: YEAHHHHH But you bro…………….
I then said “Hold on, it’s possible the dog did not make it.”
SISTER: I would have shot him if he did that to me!
GLASS MAN: Well, why didn’t you knock on the door!
I gave her a gentle hug and offered my condolences. And the former neighbor’s son also gave her hugs. Then the wife said “You know, you should come over our house and spend the night, it’s somewhat intrusive that you’re over here. And deary? (Speaking to me) Thank you for not shooting him!”
HIM: But it’s so good! How much longer?
(He opens the other window curtains, and I could see his Honda Goldwing, 1100, parked right there. Apparently, he opened the double-gate and parked his bike there. Which that right there explained to me why there’s a small “concrete pad” (about 9′ x 7.5′) and the double awning was set high (which acted like a “Bike Port”).
HIM: ______________!!!!!!!!!
ME: No, that goes in the last 5–10 minutes before we eat.
ME: Just call me Southie, it’s my nickname
WIFE: Son (talking to former neighbor’s son), You have a lot of explaining to do here!
He then grabs another cup of coffee and sits there and observes me making Lobster Bisque. The aroma filled the house. He kept coming in with a soup spoon and “sampling”! Then he realizes there’s no Lobster meat in the pot!
HIM: ___________!!!!!!!!
Her husband takes the dog home, and the wife then tells me “We sent my beloved baby to rainbow bridge. Surgery was no longer an option or advisable. We had a taxidermist come out, as I am having my baby going through taxidermy. When it’s time for me to go, he’s going to be buried with me.”
WIFE: “(First name) GET OUT OF HER COOKING POT! IT’S NOT YOURS!”
SISTER: OOOOOO MMMMM GGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Mom and Dad disappeared! They’re being held hostage!
HIM: RIGHT ON!!! (opens the pickle jar eagerly and stabs himself a couple of pickles and offers me)
ME: It’s made with lobster shells!
For some reason, I was working in the office, and since my small couch is also a daybed, I went to lie there with the neighbor’s dog next to me. The dog nuzzled my arm, and I woke up, and I felt a very strong draft. (I knew I had all the windows closed.) So I pulled my Ruger Blackhawk (SuperHawk) 44 magnum, loaded it, and turned the safety off (ready to fire).
It was his sister (told me to put her on the speaker phone)
ME: Can’t have dill pickles, I am allergic to dill.
The poor guy just literally peed in his pants and his eyes were round as saucers, and he was trembling and frightened and begged “Don’t shoot! Don’t Shoot!”, I then drew back the firing pin, and raised the gun up.
NEIGHBOR (MAN): What’s he doing here?
ME: Oops, I forgot something!
ME: Have you ever had Lobster Bisque?
ME: Yeah, the shells. Yeah, not the meat! The meat’s in the pot!
HIM: What the hell was that?
ME: Is she always like that? Rolling out every single words?
WIFE: (First name) what am I going to do with you!?
HIM: (shrugs) And looks at the 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. (I knew what he was looking for that wasn’t there)
HIM: (he hung up on her)
HUSBAND: Grace here! (begins to eat)
FORMER NEIGHBOR’S SON: I will ask the blessing if I may? Southie?
HIM: Please! I’m starving! I drove 11 hours straight to home, well, used to be home!
SISTER: OOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGG! My brother’s going to jaaiiiiiillllllll!
HIM: Do you mind if I call my sister up? It will be long distance, she lives in Colorado.
HIM: You just pulverized the lobster?
ME: Please shout out when you’re out of the shower so I can start cooking.
ME: (being humorus) So you like to rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllll? Every word you saaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy?
SISTER: CHILLLLLLLLLL OUTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
ME: I’m married - taken - sorry!
HUSBAND: “But it’s so good! Try it!”
ME: No! They are not!
HIM: (Pulls out $300 handing it to me) For the food, shower, bed, and laundry and all. Can I leave my bike there, I’m going to head back home tomorrow. If my sister ever calls me back, give her my telephone number (writes it down and places it beside the phone). Thanks for everything!
ME: Thank you very much sir, you did a great job! Good bye!
SISTER: But they wouldn’t leaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvveeeeeeeeee ussssssssssss!
WIFE: Hello (calling her first name) How are you doing over in Colly-rad-O?
ME: Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
HIM: Please don’t tell me you’ve pulverized the Lobster meat?
SISTER: WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA DUH FFFFFuuuccccccckkkkkkkkkk?????!!!! You broke in?
ME: You’ve cleaned your plate up? Would you like me to make some more?
HIM: Well I found that out!
WIFE: (slaps him)
SISTER: You’re always talking with your mouthful! Where the hell are you?
(Pauses)
While he took a shower, he then shouted out, I noticed I was running low on eggs, so I shouted back “Grilled Cheese Sandwiches? I’m sort of hungry myself too.”
BROTHER: I wouldn’t know because you hung up on my phone call
HIM: Thanks so much Ma’am, and oh, What’s your name?
HIM: (goes to the drawer, spies a notepad and pen and stays at the dining room table) Dialing some 24 hour Window Repair, getting quotes. Found one guy who can come out in the morning to fix it. (Cost $250.00.)
HIM: Yeah, No, No, No. I was coming home! You know Mom and Dad always goes to bed around 8 every night…
I also handed him a Can of Sprite, and told him to “Sit down”, and he did. I then said, “Your mom and dad sold the property to me; they’re out per what their last words said and the bumper sticker on the back of the RV “Out spending their children’s inheritance”. I had been upgrading and remodeling the house if you noticed the wall there is wide open and unfinished (I had a huge blanket propped with clothespins against the wall that was opened), as you can see it’s now PVC piping, the sewer pipe below has completely rusted out so the new pipes going in tomorrow is propped here.
He then takes the Blind dog out in the backyard to do his business, and then brings him back inside - wiping his paws, and then has him to follow him to the spare bedroom (which is a queen sized), and had the dog on the bed and he tucked himself in. Was out cold in about 5 minutes or less.
ME: Oops! Sorry! I forgot you were here!
ME: (laughing)
WIFE: “ YOU ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY! You need to lose some pounds buster!”
SISTER: No shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt Sherloooooooooocckkkkkk You just now found that outttttttttttttt?
HIM: It’s alright, I cleaned it up, and we got a board up. Going to buy her a new window in the morning!
HIM: (sheepishly) Yeah, I broke into her house and busted the glass
HUSBAND: “So? I know good food when I see and smell it! I’m hungry!”
He then comes out, shaving with his battery operated electric razor (rechargeable) and then goes into the garage and runs the washer.
HIM: I didn’t come by car or truck, I came by motorcycle. It’s parked at my usual spot over there.
WIFE: Shot?
ME: (goes into the kitchen - makes Bacon, Eggs, and Grits with cheese for him - since he looked pretty hungry). Then I bring him a plate and set it down in front of him with a glass of milk, and small glass of orange juice.
ME: Want the short story or long story?
Then the phone rang, while the Wife and neighbor’s former son washed and dried the dishes.
HIM: Pays the glass man $250.00 cash
SISTER: (getting mad) Enough with that bulll-shittttttttttttttttttt!
BOTH NEIGHBORS goes into the dining room. Her husband goes into my kitchen and grabs a spoon, “Ohhhh, Lobster Bisque! My favorite!”
WIFE: “DID YOUR MAMA EVER TELL YOU HOW RUDE YOU ARE?”
HER BROTHER: Knock it off before I hang up on you again! I swear that’s the only good reason you moved over there because weed is legal!
He then said “Why is xxxx (dog’s name) here?” I then responded, “The neighbors next door had to take their other little dog over to the other side of the state for surgery. I am babysitting him. The reason why I pulled the gun back was to the fact the dog knew you and you called it by name.”
ME: Go ahead. (leading him to the open area - dining room, and the phone’s right there).
SISTER: Hey, I just realized you called me from someone else’s name? I was checking the caller idddddddddddddddd?
ME: (in background) Hey hon! I’m not so cold hearted that I shoot everyone that breaks into my house!
He invites them inside and they’re giving their dog lots of loves, while her husband is catching stuff or holding stuff!
SISTER: Fock youuuuuuuuuuu!
So after the 2nd 12 cup pot of Mr. Coffee brewing, the glass guy called early, and came around 7:30 in the morning!
ME: Yes, I can drink 12 pot myself!
WIFE: Yes she doooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss!
SISTER: WHAAAAAAAAAAAA?
HIM: But that’s already too much! I’ve busted your window, and you’ve spared me death, fed me, allowed me to do my laundry and shower.
ME: Pow, Bang, to the moon, Alice, to the moon!
ME: STAY OUT OF THE DANGNABIT STOVE AND REFRIGERATOR!
GLASS MAN: Here’s your receipt! Next time son, ask your Mom over there (He assumed I was his mother) for the house key, and hide it! If there’s squeaky doors, you can…
So the dinner goes on, with her husband having like 4 or 5 bowls of Lobster Bisque. Pretty much everyone ate their fill and I had enough for left over for lunch. And he tells them what happened.
I had a 3 pound Lobster in the freezer (neighbor gave it to me, because their son gave them too many). I decided to make Lobster Bisque. And I decided to go the Julia Child’s mode, putting the lobster and all with a pan underneath, and I began to pulverize the shells to a fine paste. Apparently, I had also forgotten that HE was still here!
ME: What if it were me? What would you have done?
HIM: Do you have a yellow pages?
One night, our son was sleeping over his grandparent’s house (they had a big event - going to Busch Gardens), my (ex) husband got called to work, so I was home alone. I was babysitting my neighbor’s next door’s almost “blind”, but elderly, dog (they had to take their other dog across the state for surgery). That dog was a Rottweiler Timber Wolf mix.
BROTHER: Last warning! I mean it!
HUSBAND: (clicks phone off and with a gruff) She hasn’t changed! Wondered what she called about?
He then said “I must had entered into the wrong property. And I really, really am sorry. I will pay for the glass I broke. Where am I?” And I noticed the neighbor’s dog walked up to him, and he called him by name, and told him “on bed”. As he didn’t want him cut up (glass on floor).
HIM: My kind of girl!
SISTER: WHUUUUUUUUUHHHHH?
HUSBAND: “I’ll seat myself! Serve it up!”
HIM: Oh mannnnnnnnnn! I love that!
HIM: Awwww!
HIM: They brought the dream RV, they’ve gone RV’ing!
We ate, and then he insisted on doing the dishes, and he did it all, and figured out where everything went after he dried it. I had the television on (early morning news).
HAHAHAHAHA! It definitely woke him up!
