Cantankerous and Ornery

cranky and bearish
cantankerous attitude
she spends days alone

ornery and waspish
rantankerous daily
she has her own ways

prickly and grouchy
she yells sat tv people
her only friends

Her tv may turn itself off one day if she keeps on yelling at it. Its a very sad situation, how did she become this way.

Wow, there is such a sadness in this little description of this woman. I love the synonymous adjectives you selected.

How sad, Caren -- TV people her only friends. She wouldn't be a stay-at-home-couch-potato by any chance, would she? Ouch... Happy Thanksgiving to the Krutsingers! ~ gw
