Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 18, 2017 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 18, 2017 #!@$!~@~@@#$!!! Okay, getting over and around some things. Today, we're back on the junk mail. This time it's American Express and State Farm Insurance. I'm not a member of either, and I've previously declined multiple offers from both. I put a board on the side of the bird stand for the squirrels to sit. Told teh wife keep ONE car. Decide teh one you like best, sell the other. We aint a car lot. I have socks. They're all white. And no colored strip at the top, causing them not to match. They ALL match. Now, to send that State Farm guy some interesting offers from American Express... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Best hope she don't sell the new one at a big discount to the feller down the road... Knew a story of a soon to be divorced wife that sold her hubbie's Porsche for $1 while it was still community property... Better hide th' stitcher if n ya fine j-ya-sef in a sim'lar sit-che-ation.

Back in teh 70's when I was a kid, I saw my Uncle Tom sell 6 of his 7 Cadillacs for $1 plus a glass of beer each. Getting divorced, didn't like her one bit. So he went to the saloon with the titles -- told everybody you could buy a car for a dollar. One guy said 'yer drunk', and Thomas told him yes i am, but I DO have a title and you CAN buy one for $1 (and one bottle). He had one for each day of the week, and sold 6 of them in a day. When I asked why, he said he didn't want that #$!@#!$%!@ to end up with ''em! Uncle Thomas had some money - didn't really need them --- but apparently had some issues as well REALLY REALLY didn't like people telling him what he can or can't do with his money.

Well who DOES?! Exactly why I am single, I got tired of someone else spending my money because he couldn't handle his own, and then wanting to pick a fight in the middle of the night wondering what happens to HIS money. Man, I just don't miss those days at all! Quote

He was to buy some spare parts kept in the trunk. By the time I got home and told police guy was across the border Junk mail - dunno if this would work for you; I pack up the junk mail, with old newspapers and stuff and mail it to the company. Only I don't pay the postage. I mark it 'Urgent papers inside' so the company feels compelled to receive it, thus having to pay the mailing charges. [return address is that of the company] I include a note; 'you stop sending me your carp and I'll stop sending you mine'. Works every time sock; yup, all black socks for me Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Man, I just don't miss those days at all! I've got one of those, took years to train him out of those bad habits, but going back to the wonderful single life was very tempting. As to divorce, the first hubby was welcome to the lot, which wasn't much, just happy to leave him to it. Junk mail? Tedious waste of a tree. Unsolicited phone calls selling me stuff? Old ARP whistle kept by phone if they get too persistant, or immediate 'go to' if they are trying to sell double glazing/insulation. One question though. Even if all the socks are black, how come there is still an odd sock when emptying the washing machine? Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!!

But better you just find unknown socks you probably can associate with someone living in your house instead of finding other parts of underwear that you cannot associate with someone living in your house Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

As to the possibility of cross dressing, this is Scotland, the land of good, sensible, industrial grade underwear. Cumfy knickers, de regour. Quote “Equality?
