Why does women’s underwear have lace and flowers all over it? You never see men’s underwear with a big wrench in the middle of it.

Landlord Letters
1. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.
2. I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.
3. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.
4. The toilet seat is cracked: where do I stand?
5. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.
6. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
7. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.
8. The person next door has a large erection in his back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.
9. Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.
10. Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it.
11. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny color and not fit to drink.

15. When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.

Some things I've learned from my children over the years...
1. There is no such thing as child-proofing your house.

3. A 3 year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing batman underwear and a superman cape.
5. It is strong enough however to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

7. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
8. When using the ceiling fan as a bat you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit.
9. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

11. When you hear the toilet flush and the words Uh-oh, it's already too late.

13. A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
14. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
15. If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoe it does not leak-it explodes.

Good morning girls and boys.
Welcome to the day after I didn't mow the lawn.
Guess what. I'm not mowing it today either.
Well, I might.......
.....but I probably won't.
It's not quite knee high yet.
Yesterday......
..Monday I was at the sod farm by 7:30. It was extremely humid, and there was absolutely no breeze. It was dead calm, and I was sweating buckets. I normally would be taking a cooler with 3 bottles of water to drink. Yesterday I took a cooler with 6 bottles of water, and I had to drink every one of them by 12:30. After that I quit and came home.
I shoveled a ton of dirt, and was a little disheartened to only find 2 points. Not surprisingly though, that was 2 more points than I went out there with.
There will be cooler day a plenty soon. We're supposed to break into the 70s but Sept. 17.
Have a happy day everyone.
