Welcome to the family! By now you will have figured out that Old John is my brother and that he mistakenly took you for his eldest sister. After all "Cath" does look a lot like "Cory". Well actually it doesn't look like it at all but it does at least start with the same letter.
For those of you who don't know, Cathy is my "other" older sister, my sister from another mother, the one that came along with Roo. The relevant word there is of course older! Sorry Kate!
I'm not sure with John whether it is indeed just his old age that resulted in this little faux pas (that's French for fuck-up), or if he is subtle enough to act old and senile, just to see if anyone gets it...nah...not freakin likely!
Anyway Cathy, you did get a reasonable explanation about the "old" stuff. It is just to distinguish one Rooyakkers from another. There's even more of them than there are Regniers so of course you don't have this same problem as us. lol
Cathy's grandfathers name is Leon, as is her dads, as is her brothers, as is her nephews! So they ended up with Leon, then Junior, then Leon again, and finally, little Leon. What a bunch of idiots! (lets see if anyone cares to explain that one to you)
You know what's really hilarious? I happen to know that Cory has not been able to get the bugs out of her system, preventing her from even posting, and as such I would bet she's just getting frantic at being unable to publicly ridicule all of us. Particularly Old John for his mistake, and Old Roo for taunting her. I love it!
Also thanks Cath for your words of encouragement. That's the first time I've ever been compared to Oprah, or at least in a positive manner. Some one did once tell me that I should be on television but I think they meant on the cartoon network!
Anyway Old John Whether it was on purpose or not you sure gave me a chuckle today and I appreciate it. You started out my day right and it stayed that way. I got lots of work done and I got 3 little workouts in. Life is good!

Age is just a number. I believe it is what you feel inside. Some days l feel ancient and others l feel like l am 30 going on 10. Then there is time when l am with my 4 year old grandaughter, l can be 4 years old playing with her....no problem.
ReplyDeleteI now understand clearly and am so happy I finally asked the question as I thought I would have been able to figure it out on my own ..NOT!!! Lol I was so confused with the response to Cory. Lol. I was so happy to know that she could post comments but yet I couldn't see them. So I became confused again after clarification on the old john question. You guys keep me on my toes. I so feel part of your warm family.
