unclej's money saving tip #1

[unclej]

this was so easy to come up with that i may do a weekly column sorta thing on saving money. i just got back from the grocery store and along with food items i had to buy a lot of household cleaning items. you know, i was out of laundry detergent, dishwashing soap and scouring powder. i also needed some windex and got some oven cleaner to spruce up my barbecue grill. i purchased a new package of sponges and some brillo pads.

money saving tip? quit cleaning house. probably save you twenty to thirty dollars a month.

stay tuned for more great ideas. if you know anybody that would be interested in syndicating this please let me know.

Cause walking into a kitchen with a glass in your hand with a woodbe dryer sheet lurking and just waiting for me to slip on it and the glass breaking in your hand will cause a trip to the ER and give you 13 stitches in your right palm....ouch....did I clear that up for ya?

I thought we were just commenting on your "tips", but yes, BB made it home late Friday night. I think he posted to you somewhere recently about how it went. The weather kind of messed up the plans a bit, but he had a productive time. He's napping at the moment. Seems kissing his tummy after he got out of the shower turned into something that's made him very tired. Ohhhh did I just say that?

You can have your thread back now unclej. Sorry.....

[someplace]

Oh NO NO NO! It's a money-saving tip -- Stay on topic MG! Cuts down on sleeping pills!

[unclej]

You can't. Nothing goes away on cue. Best you can hope for is explaining to him that somebody said that a person from the rainforest arrived here recently and has just declared they like chicken because it tastes just like squirrel.

 

[someplace]

You always have my best interests at heart. Thanks for the advice, LK.

Maybe a joke with a Texas overtone would help?

Young Dave was courting Mabel, who lived on an adjoining farm out west in cattle country.

One evening, as they were sitting on Dave's porch watching the sun go down over the hills, Dave spied his prize bull doing the business on one of his cows. He sighed in contentment at this idyllic rural scene and figured the omens were right for him to put the hard word on Mabel.

He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Mabel, I'd sure like to be doing what that bull is doing."

"Well then, why don't you?" Mabel whispered back. "It's YOUR cow."

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and a
redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to
study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word
they were given was "Timbuktu."

First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the
microphone...

The Yale grad's offering:

Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu.

The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they
thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone...

What the Texan rendered:

Me and Tim a huntin' went.
Met three whores in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
