"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

Losers Weepers

June 10, 2012 by Ryan's Rally LLC 14 Comments

I bet, by the title of today’s post, you were expecting me to talk about Ryan’s attackers. Not so. It’s something else entirely, but I’ll need to set it up first.

We were without a nurse again last night for the second Saturday in three weeks, so a family friend came over to help out for a good bit of the night. Despite all her help, she made one critical mistake that will cost her dearly. I know you’re anxious to hear what it was and I won’t keep you waiting.

She left her gourmet specialty coffee. Now, I don’t know about you but I believe this qualifies under the “finders keepers, losers weepers” clause we all learned as children. It’s practically common law, is it not? I’m telling you right here and now that this will be my defense when I brew myself a steaming cupful.

Coffee is my vice. Anyone who knows me even a little is aware of this. By her leaving it here, in plain sight and next to the coffee maker, is either an invitation to drink some or is plain cruel. Either way, the outcome will be the same. Her motives mean nothing to me when it comes to a piping hot cup of joe. I will not deny my fix!

I’m already planning my morning around drinking it. First, I must do this before Sue is awake. She’ll just make me feel bad about it, even if it goes a long way toward curing my beady-eyedness (I know, I’m making up my own words again). So, I’ll probably sneak into the bathroom and lock the door to drink it. I’ll turn on the shower to deaden the sipping noise. I keep creamer and sugar hidden in the toilet tank for emergencies such as these.
On another note, the responses continue on my post Commenter: Can’t Believe Commotion. I love it! One thing I really don’t do is moderate comments. Even those that are insensitive or flat-out nasty. Freedom of speech, baby! In fact, I usually feature those types of input. It drives up readership and participation. Both are important to keeping Ryan relevant.

One thing that many of you already know, but some might not, is you can opt to receive an email alert to tell you of follow-up comments (to your comment). So after typing in a comment, it’s as easy as putting a check mark in the box  labeled “Notify me of follow-up comments by email” and providing your email address. An example of what you’re looking for is pictured on the left.

Update: 9:15 AM. I gave into my addiction and brewed a cup of her coffee. It’s delicious. Made even better by the thrill of getting away with something. Don’t judge me! Here might be a good time to remind people about glass houses and stone throwing.

        Coo coo? Sounds intriguing. Yes, it sure does. I’ll need a definition before I commit my coo coo to anything!

        Only referring to myself as a mite “coo coo,” but only sometimes. 🙂 coo coo over gourmet coffee, but “Chock Full O Nuts” is my everyday favorite due to budget constraints, and I don’t have to pay for shipping. Just sign me “Coffeehound, too.”

    What kind of coffee is it? I think a lot of people would be thrilled to be able to provide you some joy in your cup-a-joe…

      Katie, thank you. I’d rather people give to Ryan when they can. I really do appreciate you looking out for me though.

    Ken, Enjoy the gourmet coffee :), it was probably left purposely knowing how much you love all coffee! Hoping the day goes smoothly, and I always enjoy your bits of humor. You are one remarkable man and Sue is one remarkable woman. Please give Ryan a big hug from me Love gail

    My OCB has my mind stuck on storing the cream and sugar in the toilet tank. LMAO!

    Go for it! (The gourmet coffee, that is.) So sorry about the gap in nursing coverage — that would certainly drive me to drink something. Ugh!
