I wonder what she would say about today’s schedule. It’s a 4 game day with the Patriots/Jaguars having a 9:30 EDT start. Nice of the NFL to support the beer industry.
As Erma also said “If life is like a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits”. Erma was a great comic .. unlike some things posing as comics these days.
Calgary v Hamilton on Friday, Ottawa v Toronto & BC v Montreal on Saturday. Results of all made me happy. Three more games today and Monday Night Football tomorrow. A most excellent weekend.
Bombeck was a treasure of wonderful quotes. Namely: “Anyone who can neatly fold a fitted sheet needs psychiatric help.” That’s the gist from my memory.
Husband hates sports. When the Superbowl was on during the afternoon before they moved it to night game (talking East Coast time) he enjoyed going to department stores and changing the channel from the game on the TVs on display in between other people coming over to watch the game.

If a women shows up at three different stores in one day, she should be declared legally insane!

I always take a nap between football games to be sure I don’t expire early.

I haven’t heard anyone mention Erma Bombeck in decades—except in puzzle answers. I miss her columns a lot.

As I learned years ago before I gave up the habit, no better way to ruin a beautiful Sunday!

My college team won yesterday. Then watched #1 in the nation lose at home. Matthew Mcconahay did not look very happy about it.

Never before heard of Erma Bombeck, but she seems to be full of wisdom.

If a woman doesn’t complain about something during the course of three football games, she should be declared legally dead… ㋛

She didn’t mince words, but brain death is more likely. Get a life and get off the couch!

I’d die of boredom if I had to sit through one football game, let alone three.

I have not seen a single game so far this year. I’m also not sure if I will watch any at all. Just don’t care about it anymore.
