Are You A Genius?

I so want a new blog.
I attempted to do the thing that everyone said would work - just change this name and those you don't want coming around won't. That does not work!! 

I have tried and tried. 

Then I was told to just make a new blog.
Google just keeps telling me it's me and sends me back here even after entering and setting up a new email address. 
I do not wish to go to WordPress. I hate WordPress. So now what? I either get to a new blog or I quit blogging I guess. 

I can't say what I want all the time. When I do enter a blog post about my feelings, God forbid, I am met with snarky bitchy comments. And then there is the family shit that should not be coming here. 
So there you have it. I am not yet certain what I will do but something has to change before summer.

I had a friend (we will call M.) who loves to be snarky and I think she's sometimes mean. 

She thinks she is the smartest person in the room. 

She must always be the smartest person in the room so we let her think that. Rick thinks she's dumb and lacks common sense. But if sense were common wouldn't more people have it?

Rick will point out why he thinks this every chance he gets and she gives him plenty. I just laugh. She annoys the hell out of him. 

Who the hell cares is my thought. Let them think that. 

Let them have all that control. They look the fools not the rest of us.  

To me, it's all petty.

I say, 'had' a friend because over the years we have drifted apart and I see her more as an acquaintance than a friend. It's so important to her that everyone knows she has a genius IQ. She will tell you when you never even asked. I find it funny as hell. 

I read a lot of blogs and many are like her and I do find it amusing. 

It does not bother me as it does my husband and what he calls M's arrogance.

I do not claim to be the smartest in the room or the most dumb but it is fun to torment her. Rick and I now call it a sport.

She texted me something the other day asking me a question. 

I answered immediately and she said she didn't think I was correct.  

I suggest googling it if you think I'm wrong and then why ask me? It was a business question and she thought I MAY know.

She came back later and said you were right, did you google this, it wasn't even easy to find on Google?  No, I just knew. 

I could see the steam off her head from several states away.  

Once we played a trivia game many years ago. 

I chose the category geography. 

She flippantly said, "Are you sure Margaret that's gonna be a tough one?"  

I said I was most certain. I aced the full category.

She asked how I knew this. 

I said, "What do you mean how do I know all this? I went to school just like you did" 

She was furious and then my wonderful husband said, "You're not the only person who can think M."  

.Now to be fair, I worked in all facets of the travel industry

At the beginning of my career, I had to be a travel agent, it was a stepping stone. You need to know where countries, states, and cities are if sending people there. Yes, I can fill in the 50 states on a blank map, big flippin' deal. It's more of a sideshow than it is something to be impressed by if you ask me. But it fried her ass which made my husband happy as shit

Why she is at the forefront of my mind is because she called the other day asking about a friend of ours. That got us talking on the phone and she said, "Hey, Jeopardy's coming on I have to go."

I said, "Yep it's on here too, okay talk to you later." (exact words she did not fully understand or get) 

Now we get Jeopardy 30 minutes before they do up there. So when the final jeopardy answer was on up there in PA I text her the answer. She flipped out and called me. How did YOU know this? I said I'm not just a pretty face I guess M. I never told her. I know she thought when I said it was on here too that it was coming on as it was up there, not that it was on.

Rick and I had such a good laugh. 

We are going to hell in a handbasket as my grandmother would say.

I know this about Jeopardy's time because my mom watches it religiously. 

It comes on here at 7pm. It comes on up there at 7:30pm as I stated. 

So we figured out the time it would be when the final jeopardy is played and I told her the answer that I saw 30 minutes prior. 

Mean? You betcha, but the fact that she thinks she's so above everyone else she needs to be taken down a notch just for the helluva it.

I know it wasn't nice but boy it was fun. Now who's petty? LOL
