I am Just Saying!

Ok let me tell the story first to explain why it prompted me to even start thinking and writing about the famous phrase "I am just saying!"

This was a usual Saturday at the Jew Home at 8:30 am when one of the care taker came to the lobby with a care taker who will filling in for her for the next 24 hours.  In the conversation with the four of us ladies (there was me, the security guard on duty Sam, Brenda the regular care taker and her replacement who name we did not catch), as Sam and I were trying to get to know the replacement she came off a little hostile about being here.  So as asked if she will be here with the resident she replied "Yeap!" and the way she said it, it had a hint of "I don't want to be here!" And the first that came to my mind in which I said "Geçmiş olsun!" Though I did explain what it meant, her following response causing me and Sam to look at her with blank expressions. Yes people, it was a "I am just saying!" moment.

Y'all, there are times that when some people would say these "I am just saying!" with their initial comment, that we just want to either slap the shit out of that person or we will be make a comment back to them to pissed the hell off even farther.  Or we would even reply back with the phrase "You could have keep that comment to yourself!" in which you and them get pissed off and it is you wanting to slap the shit out of the person! And y'all know that feeling because you give that person the side eye and it give a though of "What the hell or what the fuck!"

So here is my thinking: most of us used the phrase "I am just saying!" with some of our comments to farther explain what we are already commenting or responding to.  I think that some of the most annoying "I am just saying!" comments come when there really should not be anything said when words should not be said, or to further insult someone just for the hell of it.

When it used in a business sense it is often done to prompt one to really consider the pros and cons or in reference. When it used between 2 or more good friends (I said good friends) it is done to help point out some things with the topic at hand unless you are watching one of the Real Housewives soap opera saga, then it is done out of pure freaking spite-full-ness!

But the most common used "I am just saying!" moments are when we (yes, all of you including me) want to give our personal opinion about something that we either know nothing about or we feel that we have to say say something.

"I am just saying!"

July - the Birthday Month!

Alright, we are in the second half of the year and I am already ready for winter. However I will not be spending it here Milwaukee.  But for the time being, I am going to have lots of fun in this month!

July 1st - National Postal Worker Day.  This is a day I think all postal workers should take revenge on those who have dogs and allow their dogs to run after them.  This is always a day I think that all postal workers national should have the day off.

July 3rd - National Eat Your Bean Day.  This would cause the world to deploy for sure! And we do not have enough air fresher to save us on this day and the day after.

July 4th is Independence Day but it also National Hillbilly Day.  Can we say "DAMN!"?

July 10th - National Pina Colada Day.  I hope this will come with 2 sots of rum.

July 11th - National Mojito Day. This is another excuse for drinking something good!  But then again who needs an excuse to have a drink?

July 12th - National Paper Bag Day.  Now most of women already carry too many bags making us the official bag ladies, but soon as more and more men are beginning to carry a more bags themselves to and from work, we are going to have to find a name for them fast.

July 14th - National Grand Marnier Day and National Nude Day.  For the nude part, some of us has already made everyday a National Nude Day.  Grand Marnier - Je suis si heureux que les Français ne gardait pas belle boisson un secret pour eux-mêmes. (I am so glad that the French did not keep beautiful drink a secret for themselves.)

July 15th - National Give Something Away Day.  Do you know how hard it is for a woman to give away a purse, some clothing, and a pair of shoes?

July 18th - National Get Out of the Dog House Day.  Okay, if men are smart, for those of you who are in trouble with your wife you should use this day as a negotiation piece to get back in your wife good grace.  For the wives, you should use this day as a day to get your husband to do just about any and everything to prove that he wants out of the dog house.

July 20th - National Moon Day.  Though Astronomers would look at the moon that is up in the sky/galaxy, there are those who would take this day as a day to shine others. (Sidebar: Let me get shined on this day, I got a rock for their asses!)

July 21st - National No Makeup Day. Ain't no way in hell I am stepin' outside with no makeup! Can I at least put on some BB Cream and fix my eye brow, so I can look half way human in the mornings?

July 24th - National Tequila Day.  I am beginning to understand that the month of July is dedicated to those who love to drink.  Like me (with a smile on my face!)

July 27th - National Scotch Day.  See what I mean! And please no scotch or whisky for me because y'all won't be having me dancing and stripping in the middle of the street again.

For those of you who are on summer vacation, you better make the most of it, because the time to go back to school with be here sooner than you think. And my diet is officially over because it is also bar-b-que season! Can I get an Amen?
