Ever experience a good? We had the good fortune of being the recipients of a restless good gracefully sliding into a stubborn bad and back. yes, I was fed hand over hand, the color of a good people! Our 27" Sanyo decided to go narrow minded. It produced about a 1/4" tall picture across our screen. Well, we're spoiled and so we expected a bit more picture than it offered.
"Yes. that's repairable for less than #100.00."
"I can't carry it so I'll get some help to load it and I'll bring it in."
"You bring it in and I'll unload it and fix it while you wait."
Called a relative:
"Me and my son are going to town anyhow. we'll stop and pick it up."
Repair took a bit longer than estimated so TV stayed in town.
"Your TV will be ready to pick up in about an hour."
"Thanks for calling, I'll pick it up tomorrow."
I made arrangements to once again call for help to unload at home.
Tomorrow:
"It's nasty out and I have to get out anyhow, Where do you live? I'll deliver your TV to your house and charge you only $8,000.00 dollars for delivery."
I was hoping that delivery charge was a joke, it was, he delivered it about 11 miles one way free of charge!
So, we experienced the color of a good and back, without lifting a finger past the telephone and we feel obligated to be grateful!

Do I look normal? I feel a bit upset and it's all my fault. I must have pestered Google and MSN to the point that they arbitrarily changed my home page and my email address without my consent. AND I CAN'T CHANGE THEM BACK! GRRRRRR!

Example:
"Hey, look Guys, he's in our lane and coming at us very fast, very fast!"

The only way this delemma could be smiled at was if it came from the mouth of a bowling pin, so remember, it depends on who's talking!

A news reporter, are you sure it is he?
What’s going on that we’re not able to see!
Snow’s been a meltin’ and is almost all gone
But, there’s nothing unusual ‘bout a few spots of lawn.

Sure enough, he’s shouldering gear
Aren’t you a wondering why he is here!
Wrong address you think? Now that’d be cute
That would put our house in his photo-shoot!

Now look what’s happening forevermore,
Ignoring all else, he’s at our front door.
Well now, how can I make this be a win, win?
He’s obviously waiting to be invited in!

A zillion pictures all taken of me
Whatever for on a Friday at three?
When all I had told them, to my recollection
Was that I had a neat cardboard calculator collection.

He’ll let me know when it’s gonna become news
And I have no idea what date they will choose.
But, I’ll send out the web link for you all to see
This reporter’s results of my collection and me!

For the most part, any animal that has to spend it’s life out in the cold, cold, cold of the winter strums our sympathy strings. Some of us will spend extra money to furnish it’s meals and provide the warmth of some shelter if possible. Well, I found myself caught in that trap. I even burned some of that precious expensive fuel to provide additional warmth. But I succeeded in furnishing a very cozy environment! As a matter of fact, I ended up with blue ribbon results including a self feeder with a very sufficient supply of succulent fare available any time and at all time. So, I’m convinced that my animal lived in comfort. And all for only $416.00!
After the mechanic removed half the engine parts including the intake manifold, He found the knocker sensor to be in good working condition. My tenant, which must have lived in ecstasy, had taken advantage of the engine heat generated from burning that precious expensive fuel and the self feeder sporting sugar free copper wire coated with no imitation flavor added insulation!
The mechanic happened to have some fresh mouse food refill in stock . He tied all the loose ends together before hanging the last loose end onto the nose of the knocker sensor. He puzzled all the engine parts back together so they’d fit under the hood, with instructions to those little curiosity dashboard lights to remain in the dark.
The only other perk I got, was that I ended up at home with his remote door opener on my front seat.
