You're right though, sleepin in on a day off is amazing. Ive been getting a few too many of those latelly though. Time to look for more foreclosed houses!
I have to be at the imaging place at 330 and start the scans at 4. I am sure I won't hear anything until late next week about the results.

I have often wondered how stupid I look with a 400.00 fluke, and the 15.00 non contact voltage pen, 4 empties, 2 full ones left.. and only one strand completed..
Troy knows I get crazy when I have strands that don't work, he just stays out of my way and doesn't say a word......

That's my time, so my scans start at 6 your time. I am sure I will be in there for around 2 hours, then have to go to my daughters holiday choir concert. It will be a busy night.

The surgeon I talked to had just got out of school and graduated "top of her class"...I dont see how because she told me that there was nothing wrong with my ankle after 2 doctors looked at it and sent me to her..

Yea its no fun, I have a list but its mainly for the truck too. Either that or its just to expensive to ask for.

This Can't Be Called Political??

The following is a funny and true story from KC Williams, who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School . In one of KC's classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States . It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating ...."What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by c-section". And someday she'll vote!

......
I have this down to a science,when wife needs a gift I send her out with my debit card then I don't get bad mouthed for gifts she don't like
In 39 years I think she has bought one gift that I liked and I use it daily and bout can't survive without it
As far as the truck if it needs something I go get it,no questions asked,so its gifts are easy if the dam jeep don't eat the money up first

Sure if you are a RAT....... The same thing can be said for the IBEW and probably a lot of the other trades. It is very rare to find a true tradesman anymore that went thought the 5year apprenticeship to become a journeyman plumber/fitter or electrican like my grandfather, dad and husband.

Very few tradesman left in any 'profession' these days. People get jobs off politics more than skills it seems, and then get bigger bonuses for doing less work! Very frustrating!!!

I got some very bad news at the Pulmonary clinic. I was not expecting good news, but I have Emphysema. He says he can make my life better without using oxygen. I am not going to be a crybaby about this at all because like all of my other mistakes in life I am getting just what I deserve. I have a laundry list of meds that I have to go pick up about 6:00. I tried catching up on this thread, but gave up.

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.'

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, 'Wait just a moment!'

She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, 'Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband.'

The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.'

You mean to tell m e you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?'
'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'

Send this to every clever female you know, and to every man who thinks they are smarter than women.
