Late

One thing that I really do hate Is when people are constantly late For it isn’t a crime To arrive right on time - Even early, so no one must wait. Yet some folks have a glitch in their genes; Thus, they’re tardy in all their routines. I have learned to prepare So when I arrive where We’re to meet, I won’t make any scenes.

One of the first things I learnt in Germany is that a noon date means noon, not one minute before nor one minute after but precisely at noon! Now that Americans have iPhones, there is NO excuse for being tardy! If Germans can arrive on time, so can everyone else! Nicely put, Ilene! Aloha! Rico

I used to get really PO'd when people were late but as I aged I have come to understand that some people actually do march to their own drum. Asi es la vida!

I have an identical twin sister who likes to always "make an entrance" so we tell her it starts at 1:30 when it starts at 3:30. Smile. Chuckle. I had forgotten how irritating it used to be.

oh it irks me too Ilene - my 'ex' boyfriend was constantly late it used to drive me demented - guess that's one reason we split lol:-) My hubby on the other hand always ensures we are early - sometimes to a crazy degree and that drives me nuts too lol:-) But I still love him to bits:-) hugs jan xx
