Wonderful, thoughtful friends willing to spend the time guiding you around a foreign city. :biggrin:
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I have someone coming to quote on the driveway today. It wasn't included.

We ran water from out neighbour to our 5th wheel so we could shower in it. I carried buckets of water into the house to flush and pots of water on the stove for dishes. PIA!

You don't realize how much you use till you don't have it.

Insurance would have paid for a hotel but we preferred to sleep at home.

:130: I needed that Ferri.

What made me smile today was after a very rough morning, almost traumatic, we finally got all the electrical work finished in the condo. And HH took back a bathroom fan as promised "if it didn't fit" which is $$ back on my CC. Thank you Home Hardware!
Regardless of who "wins" an election, they always are up against a Silent Elite. Do you believe the extreme poor who voted for Trump ever thought their non-profit support would be slashed right out from under them?

What made me smile? The fact that some dealer obviously lost their goods? No, the way the "Found" ad is written.

This makes me smile every single time I think about it. :)

8 years ago a grandma accidentally texted a young man she didn't know about Thanksgiving. They've gone from strangers to family to business partners

A dentist needed in an emergency situation came to my rescue. A shout out to Dr Dunphy, Vernon.

Aka as the ‘humming dentist’. [icon_lol2.gif]

Humming one thing, whistling another.

I was captive by choice and even though mouth wide open, i kept it shut.

It's impossible for a Woman to keep her mouth closed! :runforlife:

Imagine a patrol officer stopping a Woman for breaking the law and saying "You have the right to remain silent"...
Just doesn't work.
