I took off Monday and drove up to Lake Carolina to go sailing with my bitter brother-in-law Ryan who clings to his guns and my bitter sister, Sherry who clings to her religion. I'm bitter and I cling to my cars. Drove the new BMW.
I realized after I got there that I had neglected to pack one of my meds and I was pretty bitter about that.
They did have Stoli and olives so that helped with some of the bitterness.
Sherry cooked some chili and we had wine with the meal. That helped with the bitterness as well.
I didn't sleep well Monday night and I was pretty bitter about that.
We drove over to Lake Murray to go sailing and it turned out that it was too windy too sail. Ryan and Sherry have a Flying Scot, named Single Malt, and it's an open cockpit boat. If I weren't a crip, we could have managed it, but in those conditions, I would have needed to have been a lot more mobile that I am.
I learned how to sail X boats on the Mississippi and they're similar to the Flying Scot. The crew has to be able to move fast to get on the high side when tacking. In the wind conditions on Tuesday, it would have been easy to dump me off the boat, so we bagged it.
Sherry wanted me to stay another day, but since I didn't have one of my pain meds (and I was pretty bitter about that), I drove home today.
My cleaning lady was there when I arrived, so I've got a nice clean house. Can't be bitter about that.
Her vacuum cleaner was broken. She was pretty bitter about that, but mine works so she was able to vacuum.
Geez! Jug Hussein Ears was right. Everyone is bitter!
Posted by denny at April 16, 2008 05:47 PMDon't forget free trade and open borders and hating people who aren't like you ...:) That's a lot to cover in one vacation, I know!
Posted by: Peggy U on April 16, 2008 06:10 PMI don't mind a little bitterness. I'll have some in my bloody mary, or other vodka concoctions. And what's a good pale ale without some bitterness?
It can be a good thing.
Posted by: Schmidty on April 16, 2008 06:17 PMI'm bitter that a punk like Obama can consume so much of our nation's attention.
Posted by: Paul on April 16, 2008 06:26 PMOh Paul...I am sorry he is not getting ENOUGH attention...don't be bitter...the more he gets, the closer we are to President McCain...and that only means Not prez Clinton!!!!!
Posted by: ty guy on April 16, 2008 06:41 PMGot a laugh out of Sean Hannity today. He kept asking people if they were clinging to their religion and believed in their 2nd amendment rights, then telling them they were too bitter to be on his show.
The only thing I am bitter about is the total lack of real presidential candidates and a government who thinks confiscating my hard earned bucks is their sole purpose in life. Other than that, I'm a pretty un-bitter guy.
Posted by: John C. on April 16, 2008 06:48 PMI feel left out. I don't feel particularly bitter about anything lately . . .
Posted by: Shamrock on April 16, 2008 07:02 PMI'm really bitter about all of these moron candidates not closing off the southern border with Meh-i-co, so I guess I will continue to cling to my firearms and wait for the target practice to commence...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 16, 2008 07:08 PMI live in new York I am always bitter
Posted by: mark on April 16, 2008 07:18 PMShit, I am bitter and hugging my Colt Python.
My daughter just had me google "Urban Archipelago".
I'm getting me some more speed loaders.
Can I get a pint of Bitter please?
Posted by: Rurik on April 16, 2008 07:55 PM My wife took a nap and I cooked my own supper. Trouble is, I like my cooking. I can't even be bitter about that.
I'll just go cling to a gun.
Man, all of it leave a sour taste in one's mouth, doesn't it?
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on April 16, 2008 09:31 PMBMW, family, sailing, good food...sounds like a bitter pill to swallow.
Glad you got away and had a nice visit.
((anyone notice the "bitter" comment has had more backlash than Reverend Wrong?))

I'm really not bitter about "Rev." Wrong's anti-American, anti-white 'sermon'. Sure I know he's a hypocritical racist anti-american asshole, but that doesn't make me bitter.
What I'm really bitter about is that I'm going to have to drop one of these many guns that I'm clinging to so I can clutch my Bible. As soon as I release one, Obama and goons will be there to snatch it up and do away with it...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 16, 2008 10:31 PMBitter late than never.
That was a great post!
Joan - That's what Monica said.

Damn, I didn't know this word was so encompassing.
That and the fact that with one sentence Obama was able to shred the crap out of the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Then again, that fits right in with the Nazi episode being played out with the religious persecution against poor Christens (Mormons) in Texas.
All government employees should be required to pass an extensive test regarding the origins and meanings of our Constitution instead of just swearing to uphold it. You can not uphold what you know little about.
For Obama, as a Presidential candidate to make such an anti-Constitutional statement as he did shows how really pathetic and dangerous our educational standards are.
