Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 22, 2020

What game? Did the home team win?

TB 6 to 4 Dodgers

Tis hard to say good bye when one has so much to talk about !

old friends, old times, long goodbyes

I’ve learned when you say your goodbyes and do the departing protocol, immediately avert or walk away, because the slightest comment is another five minute conversation.

We called that Italian good byes in our family.

Don’t know which would be more involved—’Plugger goodbys or ’Plugger wives goodbys ???

At least!

I had a GF who did this. I’d just go out to the car and wait for her. Not something I miss.

Been there, done that. Usually because I haven’t that individual for awhile and there is a lot catching up to do, one remembered topic at a time.

As this one came in from Wisconsin, not much good to be talking about in the last Packers game.

Some folks leave and don’t say goodbye. Other folks say goodbye and don’t leave.

This reminds me of our son. When he visited, he would stand up and say that it was time to go and then spend at least 10 minutes chit-chatting before finally walking out the door.

I worked for an engineer who literally did not know how to end a conversation. At some point, I had to resort to “I think I hear my mother calling” or variations, just to get back to work.
