Phrases

When Theresa was alive, she'd use certain phrases and words when she talked. Because she was born and raised in Nova Scotia, she had all the cute mannerisms of the Maritimes, including a slight accent.  Here are some of the phrases she'd use. I'll use a few from her mother too. This is NSFW stuff. I'll put some other of her family in there too.

"Tell me where your'e too and I'll come where you're at"
--- usually a newfoundland saying. I always laughed at hearing that one. (Theresa)

"I know it sounds gross, but it has to come up"

-- Theresa coughed so much, she had to bring up the congestion and fluids every morning. It took her a good hour to do that, hacking, spitting, but after hearing it for years I had become desensitized to it. I always said "Hey, I don't care - it really doesn't bother me". The only time I was really concerned was when she spit up blood. That's how bad her coughing was.

"Bub", "Bubbins", "Little Bub", "Kitty", "Bear", "Little Bear" -- All nicknames she gave to the cat. His name is Kitty. Extremely lovey. Super-bonded to me. Stays extremely close.

"It's a hard cock, but it has to be sucked"
- Marion (my mother-in-law) when she was alive. I almost spit out my drink when she said it. Hilarious.

"Hello, Beloved"
I would say that to Theresa to tease her. But I always loved her deeply. She would laugh. I would always over-emphasize the beloved part too.

"He always has to be touching you, being close, or having us both in his view at all times"
- Theresa. The cat would lounge around, watch us both... or hang with either of us. He always got attention. Super spoiled, but a sweet cat really.

"I used to think Paul was the best at getting me angry, but now you've topped it"
-Theresa, we were talking about something, can't remember... wasn't serious though.

"You know, for a smart guy you are a fucking horrible teacher"
-Theresa. I was trying to teach her how to drive, fill out resumes/apply online via e-mail, etc...  Yeah, I really have shit for patience.


"If The Lord spares us another day"
-Marion

"Can we get some Kentucky?"
-Marion and Theresa. Short for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

"Welllll, you know........."
- Bernice - Theresa's Aunt would say this all the time. Loved her. Would always talk forever and ever on the phone with Marion. They would talk each night at 6 until 8 or 9PM usually. She was also legendary cheap, God love her.

"If there's one thing you should know about me, if you tell me not to do it, I'll do it just to spite you."
- Theresa, usually if I was bugging her about something.

Near the end I felt guilty for being on the computer at night. I did spend more time with her in July /  August, which made us very close. I apologized to her for wasting time playing a game here or there. Honestly, I would go for an hour then watch some twitch streamers. That's it.

There is no sense in analyzing past actions. For what?  We had some tough times too. I remember many hospital visits, arguments, family crisis situations.... you name it.

5 days until Christmas. Just another day, really now.

But finally, here is my "attempt" at baking croissants from those pre-made rolls you buy in the store. They never cut the fucking dough, so when I broke them apart, it became a mess.
