I WANNA QUIT THE GYM!

Does anyone remember the Friends* episode where Chandler wants to quit the gym but can’t?

Well, substitute “gym” for one of Auntie Nettie’s jobs. There’s nothing particularly wrong with the “gym.” If Auntie Nettie wasn’t in hawk to the “bank,” she probably would have quit the “gym” a while ago.

Going to the “gym” is like going to the dentist sometimes. Not particularly enjoyable, but necessary. At the end of a session (whether long or short), she sometimes has a pounding headache along with a scolding from the trainer.

Then there’s “Maria.” If she wasn’t loyal to “Maria,” she probably would have quit already.

Plus there’s the financial toll. Unlike Chandler, who was supposed to get money back from his gym fees, how will Auntie Nettie replace the steady loss of income from the “gym?” Rent is going up, as is everything else, plus there are these pesky other outstanding debts.

Darn it.

“I want to quit the gym. I WANNA QUIT THE GYM!”


Does anyone know the going rate for a pristine kidney these days?
Could I BE anymore whiney?
UPDATE: Stay tuned ... Announcements to follow

*Season Four, Episode 77, “The One with the Ballroom Dancing.”
