I laughed way to hard at that
I like your priorities.
I like the way you think...
Which reminds me of a little Johnny joke...
An elementary school math teacher asked her class one day, "If there are three birds on a wire, and a farmer shot one, how many are left?"
One little boy said two.
Little Johnny, however, disagreed. He said, "None, 'cause everyone knows that if you shoot at birds they all fly away."
The teacher replied, "No, Johnny, you're wrong, but I like the way you think."
"OK, teacher, I have a riddle for you," boasted Johnny. "Let's say three women are at an ice cream shop and they each order a single scoop ice cream cone. The first one eats it by gently licking it around the edges, the second slowly sucks the ice cream off the cone from the top, and the third gobbles the top and then sucks the rest out of the cone. Which one is married?"
After a few seconds of contemplation, the teacher replied, "Well, I think it must be the third, the one that gobbles the top and sucks out the inside."
Johnny responded, "No, teacher, you're wrong -- it's the one with the wedding ring. But I like the way you think."

On our cruise, a group went fishing. They had the salmon packed and shipped home. $200 for excursion and $300 to ship fish.
Furious, the teacher sends little Johnny to the principal. When he enters the reception area he notices the lady at the front desk is not around. With no one to report to, he takes a seat on the bench outside Mr. Morris’ office. Suddenly, the door opens and out walks the receptionist. She pauses, after closing the door, to smooth a wrinkle in her skirt and notices Little Johnny grinning at her.
Surprised, she snaps ‟What are you looking at you little brat?” Little Johnny’s grin widens as he points to the corner of his mouth
‟You have got some ice cream on your face.”

One day in class the teacher brought a bag. "Now class, I'm going to reach into the bag and describe something, and you tell what I'm talking about. Okay, first: it's round, plump and red."
Of course, Johnny raised his hand high, but the teacher, wisely ignored him and picked Deborah, who promptly answered "An apple." The teacher replied, "No Deborah, it's a beet, but I like your thinking." Now for the second. It's soft, fuzzy, and colored red and brownish."
Well, Johnny is hopping up and down in his seat trying to get the teacher to call on him. But she skips him again and calls on Billy."Is it a peach?"Billy asks."No, Billy, I'm afraid it's a potato. But I like your thinking,"the teacher replies. Here's another: it's long, yellow, and fairly hard."
By now Johnny is about to explode as he waves his hand frantically. The teacher skips him again and calls on Sally. "A banana," she says. "No," the teacher replies, "it's a squash, but I like your thinking."
Johnny is kind of irritated now, so he speaks up loudly. "Hey, I've got one for you teacher; let me put my hand in my pocket. Okay, I've got it: it's round, hard, and it's got a head on it." "Johnny!" she cries. "That's disgusting!" "Nope," answers Johnny, "it's a quarter, but I like your thinking!"

Xfinity is seriously pissing me of right now. Sent us a new box. Supposed to be a swap for one having problems. It wouldn't turn on. Call them and they want $150 to activate.But... If we pay bill NOW they will not charge that AND give a discount. Huh? Ok, now we need to watch that they don't pull a double payment that is on autopay.
Waiting for new box to activate now. This is. Time to look at other services again...
Don't trust Comcast for autopay...
I had them on autopay when I lived in Detroit... When I moved back here to Chicago, I cancelled the service andf they charged me for three months after that...
When I brought it to their attention, they only refunded me one month...
One of the reasons I don't do autopay for anybody now...
Alright crew I’m signing off …
Adios'

I have Astound broadband right now... They bought out WOW...
I have a few issues with them once in a while, but not near what I went through with Comcast...
You may want to look into it to see if they have service in your area...
If they do, let me know before you sign up, I can get a referral bonus from them, and I think you would also get a sign up bonus for getting referred...

The wife just called. Having a bad day. Her credit card has been compromised and has been shut off. She will have to drive 2 hours to a bank with 2 forms of ID just to cancel the card. The phone number she attached to the card is our old land line that we don't use any more.
If someone steals your identity and you kill them, technically that would be suicide, not murder...
Your honor...
I tried to commit suicide once...
Almost succeeded, killed the guy next to me...

My credit is so bad if someone stole my identity, they would be worse off than sticking with their own...

My son told me he was in the mood for some ham last week because we haven't had some in a while... I bought a spiral cut ham at the store last Friday on sale for $0.99/lb...
I cooked it yesterday and have plenty of leftover....
I made grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch today with some of the smoked cheddar cheese that I bought a couple weeks ago when I took a run for the border and hit up my favorite cheese outlet in Kenosha, WI (home of the cheese heads/America's Dairyland)...
Then chopped up some peppers... One green and one red... The red one is HUGE!!! On sale for $1... I got it at the store that I bought the ham at, check it out in the picture below...
Then mixed the chopped peppers with some onions and can make scrambled eggs tomorrow with the peppers, onions, and ham... Like a western omlette, but scrambled...
The store had a box of 60 eggs on sale for less than $6 sale ends tomorrow.... I told my son to go heavy on eating eggs since they are so affordable now... I may pick up another box tomorrow before the sale ends...
So eating cheap this week so far... $13 for the ham, $1 each for the peppers, $6 for 60 eggs, and $ for the cheese... Will get us through 3+ meals...
I may get another ham tomorrow before the sale ends, hopefully find another 12+ pounder...
I STILL have a Case of 75w rough service bulbs for Automotive drop lights......
They offer a LED 'bulb pack' that you can put in the trouble lights now that gives off good light and doesn't get so hot....
