Not if I have to share my clothes with your daughter, forget it.
I have a daughter and know what she dresses like. Uh-uh. :0)

Got a son? Nephew will work, too. Just so the next time your DW shops for you, she says the same thing to the clerk. Turnabout's fair play. ;0)

JJ I probably should have deleted that last one but I do enjoy some humor. I was never that quick on the draw and probably too bashful to come up with answers like those.

I hope this don’t cross the infamous line of no return but I thought it was funny at the time…

At a dept store the has high end women’s clothing, I saw some shorts that had been marked down several times, and a sign that said 50% off lowest marked price…

I bought 4 pair for the DW, then though I should get some for the DD to…

So here I go to pay In my T-shirt jean shorts and sandals and the lady gives me a really funny look and said like I was stupid or something, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIFFERENT SIZES HERE!!! I said yes I knew, some where for the wife and some for my girlfriend…

She really got mad at me and angrily said you should be hung… I replied, I am and is why I needed the two sizes… she stormed away and wouldn’t wait on me…

Timing is everything…

I know... I know.. REPENT YE...
OMG now that's funny! You made my day. Thank's

I was a teenager in the early 70s and one summer my babysitting job was at a local campground: 2 single mothers, both working and living in tents to save for a place when school started. I never babysat for a happier bunch of kids!
The moms were pretty content too. I remember them telling me that as long as they had jobs and a plan, everything would work out. They were right.

If a few of them could get together and buy a piece of land, they could put up some decent sized tipis, complete with liners and be a lot more comfortable, both in the summer and winter. Some of them are surprisingly huge inside, and once you learn how best to hang the liner, you can maintain a pretty decent temperature range.

Of course, a good tipi can range from $230.00 to $9000.00, depending on the size and what it is made of (buffalo and elk run 9K, most others are canvas or cotton and under 1K), whether poles come with it, and if any extras are included...But it dang sure beats a pup tent.

I compiled a list of tipi makers in 2002 for the Iron Indian Riders when we were in the market to get a couple for our PowWows and as gathering places for the biker rallies we attend. If anyone is interested, send me a message with your e-mail and I'll send you the spreadsheet.

Being recently laid off myself and not to far from living in RV I can relate to those people. Thank god unemployment and my DW still employed. What really makes me mad living in New York is the senators didnt work for a full month and expected to get paid for doing nothing
now here is the real kicker. They all got raises of 50,000 dollars can you imagine. The jobs that have left NY not to mention all the homeless and you get a 50,000 dollar raise give me a break. IM glad to be part of the Tea Party. Time to take back goverment.

Hoseman, I agree with you and then again, I don't.

You know that old song What have you Done for me Lately?
They haven't done much for us. Plenty to us, though.

It's time to ignore the government.
