I have learned over the years --- ahhhh aging is beneficial for some things---that careful, controlled, verbations (my own made up word) always pack the knock down punch.

When you throw out the swears and blatant insults, everyone only hears that and no matter the situation, you become the bad guy.

If only this site had sound!! YOU would hear THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!! Wooohoooo!!

I was at my Petsmart that I totally love! The people are so nice and helpful. A customer came up to me and asked what kind of dog I had. I told his that he is a Yorkie. She says to me, he can't be a Yorkie, he is too big. Are you sure he isn't a mix???? I was hot! I told her in my snooty, don't pick on my baby, voice that Yorkies come in all different sizes! She says well mine is under 5 pounds. I just walked away and complained about it all night, lol. Now keep in mind that my Gizmo is 7 pounds!!! I was ready to throw punches, lol. I didn't realize how protective I was over him!!!!

Well, I no longer have to wonder.

Saturday we drove to MA/Ct border to pick my DS's GF and went into the Petco in Enfield,CT to pick up Kitty Litter while the gang was getting our lunch at Quiznos.

Milo and I of course can't resist a little walk around the store and encountered a very friendly Scottie--OMG so cute, and a couple other lovely pups and owners.

While waiting in the check out line, the woman behind me drops her bucket of Kitty litter to the floor and scares the crap out of Milo who was on a leash.

I hear her say, none to quietly, "Sorry spaz!" In that sarcastic tone we all know.

Mind you, Thursday/Friday I had been in a complete PMS frenzy and had settled a bit by Saturday, but STILL>

I turned slowly around and can only imagine the look on my face. I looked up into the face of a woman who was 6', (I'm 5'4') about 250lbs and watched as her face quickly went from smug amusement falling and into nervous chuckles.

I held her eyes with mine and slowly said with determination,

"His name is Milo. (take a breathe and add) Spaz."

And turn back around.

I barely heard her breathe behind me as I checked out.

She's just lucky it wasn't a day or two earlier.

That's all I'm saying.

You go girl!!

It's short for "spastic"

1. Of, relating to, or characterized by spasms: a spastic colon; a spastic form of cerebral palsy.
2. Affected by spastic paralysis.
3. Offensive Slang Clumsy or inept.

Most people use the word spastic in a derogatory way instead of in a medical condition way. When I think of spastic I think of out of control behavior, crazy, uncoordinated, etc.
