Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is.

`````````````````

Jany was reading a story from a book to her daughter. The daughter interrupted: “Mom, why does every story start with ‘Once upon a time’? Isn’t there any other line?”

Mom: “Sure there is. There's another line which begins like ‘Dear, there is a meeting in the office and I will be late.....’”

`````````````

The town's bank manager called the police station to report a robbery.

'You'll never believe what happened, Sergeant. A truck backed up to my bank, the doors opened. Out comes these robbers and they lead an elephant out of the truck. The elephant then breaks through my plate glass window, sticks his trunk in, sucks up all the money. Then the gang lead the elephant back into the truck. The robbers close the truck doors and the truck pulled away.'

The desk sergeant said, 'Could you tell me, for identification purposes, whether it was an African elephant or an Indian elephant?'

'How can you tell the difference?' asked the bank manager.

'Well,' said the sergeant, 'The African elephant has great big ears whereas the Indian elephant has little ears. So which kind of elephant was used in the robbery?'

'How should I know? I couldn't see his ears,' said the bank manager. 'He had a stocking over his head.'

````````````

Husband returned from office and wife drew a breath of relief: “Thank lord. Good that you are safe and sound.”

Husband: “Why, what’s wrong?”

Wife: “A few persons were talking near our window that a dumb looking man got crushed under a car.”

Rita noticed that her friend, Julie, who was standing at a distance, was having a conversation with another friend. Judging by their gestures, Rita suspected that the conversation involved a secret.

When the other woman left, Rita walked up to Julie ans asked "What did she tell you?"

"Now you know I never repeat gossip," said Julie.

"All right," Rita sighed.

Immediately, Julie whispered, "So listen carefully the first time!"

All my life, I have struggled to break free from each of the four food groups:

the chocolate group,
the fried snack group,
the caffeine group,
and the whatever-the-thing-in-the-tinfoil-in-the-back-of-the-fridge-is group.

Lisa checked in at the Gates of Heaven and requested to join her former husband, Watson Woods.

Saint Peter said, "We have a million Watson Woods. Give us a little hint."

Lisa said, "My Watson is handsome, has a mole on his cheek, and he said that if I ever slept with another man he would turn over in his grave."

Saint Peter instructed an angel, "Take her to Whirling Watson!"

``````````````````

Minister Reeves was waiting in line at the gas station to have his car filled. There were several cars ahead of him and though the attendant hurried with his job, it took quite some time before it was minister's turn to get his car refueled.

The attendant, while motioning him toward a vacant pump, said, "Reverend, sorry for the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."

Minister Reeves laughed, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."

````````````

Robert had invited his friend Sam for dinner. When Sam arrived, he was shivering from the cold.

The winter being treacherous, Sam commented, "It is really cold outside today."

Robert asked, "How cold is it?"

Sam replied, "It is colder than my mother-in-law's kiss!"

```````````````

John seemed to be upset, so his colleague Aaron asked what was bugging him.

John replied, "It's about my mother-in-law."

Aaron asked, "What is the problem?"

John said, "My wife has asked me to buy a present for my mother-in-law's birthday. Come on, it's her mother after all, why can't she buy it? Why does she always have to pass on the responsibility to me?"

"What did you buy her last year?" Aaron asked.

John said, "Last year I bought her a very costly cemetery plot."

"Ohh....hard to top that one," said Aaron.

John thought and thought but could not come up with anything. So, nothing was bought for his mother-in-law's birthday.

When the big day arrived, she was a little upset. At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud to everyone, "Thank you all for coming and for the wonderful gifts. It's a shame my daughter and son-in-law weren't so thoughtful!"

John, retorted, "Well, the gift we gave you last year is still unused!"

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


I'm having the strangest feeling of Déjà Vu. think


Since 3:00 this morning, I've been up 16 hours. Any more and it'll be 17, wait a minute my calculator may be dead. razz


Work was work, but don't tell my feet. They're already about to fall off. shocked


I did manage to talk my manager into managing to give me Saturday off. I told her if I didn't get Saturday off, I was getting in my wheel chair and leaving. taz


After stopping off at Walmart for my bi-weekly deposit, I came home to find two little mutts ready to climb all over me. THAT made the whole day worth it. puppy


Now Missy is up to her her usual antics wanting to go outside, then in, then out, then in. I'm thinking of renaming her Mar's Curiosity Rover. cool


Baby, on the other hand......and won't get off of it. She's suffering from separation anxiety. rolleyes


Tomorrow morning early I'm going to hit the sod farm links, and see how many points I can drive home with. smile


Have a happy day everyone.


Welcome to the weekend!

Good morning Joe Ana SQF Gail Connie Gerry and the rest of the diner gang!

It's good to see you Gail laugh

The morning has kept me moving...walked the dogs and grand boys, cooked omelets for the gang, vacuumed the house (WOM gets back tonight) and time now for some gardening then off on out-of-house errands and take grand boys to the park to run down their batteries and then back home to clean bathrooms, make beds...there's got to be something I'm missing think

Have a Super Saturday everyone wave2

Hello all you happy people!

I'm recovering from yesterday's fun. Seems now that my 'temporary' tenant is gone (Wednesday) that I figured it would be calm down there. Nope. 3:00 pm up comes the resident son to tell me cryptically that the 'water is not working'. Now it's up to me to figure out what that means and after a game of 10 questions, I finally figure that 'water' means sewage and 'tank' means the septic/sewer pump tank. Aha!

So I get down there (had to change to stinky shoes since I hate the smell after the tank overflows and it gets into everything I wear. HE admits that it's been THREE DAYS since this started malfunctioning and he has been using the 'bypass' pump plug to empty the tank manually. I taught him how to do that last year and I guess he learned well.

Unfortunately, it's not a FIX. Tank had filled up to almost ground level, so I pumped it out once more and played with the 'float' that triggers the pump to work. Usually it's just clogged with grease/paper mixture and it sinks. So after fishing around we got the pump to work, BUT it wasn't right. Then it stopped. Yikes!

My fault partially because by dislodging the paper stuff, I'd made some larger chunks and they clogged the out going pump hole. Darn darn darn! So I call my goooood plumber guy. Now it's 3:15 pm on a Friday and he only works weekdays and takes off early on Fridays. Got the answering machine. Called back, begged, cried, etc. He called me back in 15 min and was here in 15 more.

So he's not an expert, but with my coaching (I know exactly how the stupid sump pump works, how to take it all apart, etc. he managed to figure out that the 'float' was damaged. Yeah, the top seal was broken. Maybe I did it, but ya never know.

After 2 1/2 hours and a new float (I had one on hand) it's all back together and working fine for now. Scary, stinky stuff and I had to stand there for the whole time and almost fell in the pit, and got splashed with a tiny bit of 'stuff' when he forgot to tighten one of the connections. Wasn't bad, but I was about to call in Hazmat.

Pump still working today, so I think we are good for awhile and my plumber is now an expert on sump pumps.

So the fun part is while the plumber was here, the tenant admitted it 'might' have been 4 days of not working! Dunno why I can't get them to alert me IMMEDIATELY when problems occur. Easier to get a plumber or anyone else early on a weekday rather than the 11th hour when things are crashing. Oh yeah.

Usually I have to pay the plumbers (had several) about 600-800 for this type of cleanout/repair. My guy (his second time for me but once for the tenant's and once for my neighbor) only charged me $120. for all that work! felt like hugging him, but he was covered in sewer water and I figured it wouldn't be advisable. rotfl

And if that wasn't enough fun, my laundry room light wouldn't go ON today. Ugh! Finally wiggled the switch on the wall and it went on, BUT there was an audible HUMMMMMM from the switch. Off switch, off circuit breaker to entire house, got a new switch from the shed (I keep tons of them on hand) and after waiting for the sun to come out (really dark in there) managed to install the new one and everything is working fine. So happy things are back to normal for now.

Waiting for the next shoe to drop.


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.
