Why? That new truck will be here before you know it.

Then you'll have to figure out how to pay for it.

Yeah I know..

I was just saying it cause every time I try to get ahead it doesn't come through..

I don't know how many jobs I have applied for and hoped to get and it fell through...

I had the same problem back in the 90s. A guy couldn't buy a job.

In 2003 I retired and was relieved that I didn't have to find a job.

Yeah! I could always go out and fix some old woman's toilet for a few bucks.

I had one just the other day. A friend of Patty's had a bathroom sink fixture that the handle kept falling off and glue wouldn't work. LOL

So I cleaned it up and screwed it back together and all is good.LOL

In that case might as well buy a new fixture because you couldn't get enough glue off of it to fix it right.
