Borrowers you love to hate

Went to signing this morning; borrower had a Bowflex, treadmill, stair climber and weight bench in the family room. There wasn't any dust on any of them.

Spent an hour holding in my gut.

Bummer.

That's funny Hugh...I was also thinking of posting something similar.

I had a signing at a real working Ranch, like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Horses, cattle, Llama, chickens, pigs, ranch hands with straw in their teeth instead of toothpicks, the whole nine yards. They all looked happy like they didn't even know about war or SS's.

I went to the address they gave me, and it was the barn, LOL...I went up to a cowboy....on a horse and asked for Mr. and he pointed at this huge house on top of a hill across the road.....then to told "Lassie" to take me to the boss. I was in another world, 30 minutes from OAKLAND!

Sure you weren't in Perry County TN? If they had electricity and indoor toilets, you were not.

Its a lovely way of life--oh and my son is a cowboy.

heh heh heh. They have it so easy. You brought back a favorite memory of my late husband (in '81: a smart, strong, tall, brown-eyed handsome man) who had a favorite joke: He'd ask,

"Girls here yet?" -looking around to see if we were (I caught the wink through his Buddy Holly Glasses,) while sucking it in; chest all full and his best Pencil-thin Mustache pose. He ironed his own longsleeved shirts, always rolled up twice because he worked with his hands. Never wore any more than a watch for the same reason. Always had clean hands, used his pocket-knife to get the motor gunk out of his fingernails. He could fix anything. Anyway, there he is all puffed up and lookin' so fine.

"Nope? Good." letting the joke back out, looking down fondly at his little pooch belly and grinning knowing everyone could relate, because about that time, the grub on the grill was ready, and we'd all have a dinner that couldn't be beat, and a great campfire evening.

I have a Total Gym, cardio bike, and treadmill. Dust is thick on all. Unfortunately, the couch is more conveniently located.

I've finally come to understand liposuction. When you can't suck it in you have to suck it out.
LOL
