Mellow Musings

Oh man... that's funny -- but I can imagine it'd be very frustrating. With all the time n' energy he invests trying to get away with *not* washing his hands, why can't he just do what he's told and wash his darn hands.

What an uplifting story!

How cute!

Yikes... two in one day!! I suppose the summer sales jobs have begun! I really don't care for solicitors either... and while I can appreciate that it's not an easy job, I figure if I want a magazine or some cleaning products, I'll go out and buy them myself!

A couple years ago my next door neighbours' little boy came to my door (I really didn't care for the parents too much -- they were very rough around the edges, I guess you could say -- but their little guy was SUCH a doll!) He asked if I wanted to buy a comic book, so of course I couldn't resist his cute little face and said, "Sure!" I figured the little comic book shouldn't cost any more than a couple of dollars. That's when the father put out his hand and said, "That'll be 30 bucks." I nearly choked -- but felt like an idiot and didn't want to turn the little guy down after saying yes. Turns out it was one of those city-wide coupon books -- not a comic book -- and yes, while it did end up coming in very handy for exploring new restaurants n' whatever, these were back in the days when I was living alone and $30 meant a whole lot more than it does now. Jeez... I'm so glad I now live in an apartment and don't get door to door solicitors anymore.

She is TOO precious!!

Hope you have an awesome rest-of-your vacation!!

Sounds like you certainly kept yourself busy. That's quite a full week!

That's too funny... I hope your friends enjoy your totally random text! And of course my face is red -- Of course I can't tell if it's because I just came in from the hot sun outside or because my name was mentioned so close to the word vagina!

Oh, some of these had me laughing... like 10 and 44. I can't believe that you buy Mary a rose every week! Wow! Well, actually given the way you speak of her, I suppose I can believe it. Lucky lady!

Wow... fantastic article!

Again, great answers!!! Number 15 is too funny!

Awesome answers!You had me laughing from number one!

Good post. I've heard that a part of the reason it's hard to find anyone with work ethic anymore (at least in my neck of the woods) is that there is a serious labour shortage. Kids know that they can quit one job and go across the street and be hired later that afternoon -- and get paid well for it too. Employers are in such deperate need, that it's impossible to keep staff, let alone find good staff. I had a friend who was an electrician, and apparently it was not unusual for half his team to simply not show up at a job site... The sad things is they were never fired for it either.

Actually, it seems to let you send them no matter where you're from. They have Canadian provinces listed in the drop down menu. I think they'll take whoever's support they can get.
