Kinda like when we told campfire stories and one person would start, say a few sentences, then the next would take over, and it would take off from there. I guess we've solved the problems of the world, and now we can quietly return to fixing things around the house. If only they would listen to us .......................... sigh ............................ Steve ;-) |

At least the plugged toilet can be solved in the next few
minutes, and won't cost billions of dollars. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Cheri" wrote in message ...

He is either under the age where one acquires a sense of humor and participates with others to play games, or he's just a crusty old fart who has lost (or never had) his sense of humor, and is unable to play well with others (of any age). Salty is on my do not answer list. And, contrary to his own words, is a heavy participant in OT discussions. HTH |

Holy Crap, Batman! It's a story!
I used to love doing that when we were kids, course I loved a lot of things when I was a kid. I agree about the Pelosi thing, give me a plugged toilet any day. :-) Cheri- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - OK, I'll start. Nancy Pelosi is sitting on a plugged toilet, when suddenly... a minor staffer, a 15 year old page girl rushes into the bathroom. She knocks, timidly on the stall, and asks "Chairman Pelosi?" Nancy rumbles grunts, and lets out an explosive bodily function. She replies "That's the respect those damn military idiots should give me. Now, what do you want?" The page replies timidly "Chairman, m'aam, President Obama is on the red phone. He would like......" |

Looking at this morning's list of posts, EVERY ONE has to do with home repair. I think I need to lie down. This group is pretty good at ignoring things which are off topic. And that is the trick. They don't get attention, then they go away. I think a lot of people here are a bit older and more mature? |

If I were any happier, neither of us could stand to be around me. |

Probably thinking he got suckered into some watch with a fancy name that looks like it came from WalMart or something. Yep, the band broke once on my Wal Mart $6.73 and I put it back together. A year or so later it broke good so I just kept it in my pocket. Battery died and I just tossed it. Frikkin' economy...I tell ya. I had to get the WM-997 model this time. |

Just replaced the battery in my 10 year old 20-buck timex a couple months ago, for the first time. Not field-service-friendly. After the young lady at the jewelry counter at the local MegaLoMart looked like she was going to break down in tears after 20 minutes of trying, I convinced her to break policy and just sell me the damn battery UN-installed. She had to get her manager's permission. Took it home and had to take the guts out of the case and remove several tiny screws, to switch out the battery. They obviously assumed 95% of the owners would just ****can it and buy a new one. Maybe when this battery dies, I will. -- aem sends... |
