Hi Michael

That was a great post - and a keeper.

That is a wonderful retort.

me and at the fuel gauge, and said "Don't ever run her that low, Mike.
She'll quit on you." No kidding.

LOL - I have seen a few like that!

ihave been thinking a lot about shopping lately

I don't even get why people need new stuff. I mean they seem to be
functioning just fine with the furniture they have.

OOOOHHHHH look this desk is 50 years old. It's a lovely antique. It
has had at least 40 prior loving owners. Those cracks and splinters
gives it character.

This goes over my head. Why is desk 2 not old and stinky???

I am perfectly happy to sit on the floor as always
(unless i am in a plane)


at work they just filled orders for furniture because have funds in the
budget that they must expend before the end of the fiscal year. Except
the stuff you orderd is always out of service.
SOOOO...I have to pick out all new stuff.
Pelikan and Pomegranate.

My trying to understand the little 3d drawings of the furniture -- no
one would sympathize. My ability to see in 3d is nonexistent. They
all looked like pictures of ducks and chickens rather than credenzas
and desks. The chairs were sort of like tulips.
Nothing looked right
And after two days of trying to see that and the tiny print on the
websites to do the ordering, I had bad white outs in both eyes
