In perusing my Facebook profile today, I found a conversation that took place about two weeks before I started the blog. And here it is, directly copy/pasted.
December 11, 2009-
I was in the shower. I was nearly done in the shower. I should point out that I'm also hard of hearing, so add the shower noise to enhance my non-hearing-ness.
Disabled guy: "*mumble-mumble* ...battery for my truck?"
Me: "You want me to get the battery for your truck?"
DG: "Well, do you want to go with me?"
Me: "Do you need me to go? I have to go to Woodman's (grocery store) today." and I listed the few things I had to pick up. "Are you going to go with me to Woodman's?"
DG: *pause* "Well, you'll need to *mumble-something-truck-mu
Me: "I see... I'll have to go with you to get your battery, come home, get my truck and go to Woodman's alone?"
DG: *pause* "Kinda."
Me: "Can I finish my shower first?"
DG: "I suppose so."
I wouldn't go if he didn't actually need me to go. He's been worn out this week from the cold and all the activity, so his speech is slurred and he can't remember the year of his truck. But I digress. I'm showered, blow-dried, and dressed... even though that wasn't part of the agreement in the conversation.

Upon reading this earlier today, I realized there are many, many conversations that I've forgotten. I need to shake the cobwebs from my brain and remember more. We had some terrific video footage of DG arguing with my Magic 8 Ball, but when I played it back on the computer, the TV was too loud and the loud, smashy, robotic sounds of the second Transformers movie drowned out most of the human conversation. But, I can tell you that according to DG, the Magic 8 Ball is a "lying shithead" and "it lies so bad".
And he still doesn't trust HDTV.

My daughter loves the Magic 8 Ball. Before we got her one, she was making them on sheets of paper. Both sides said "Ask again"
