Romance and weather in Scotland. Just got off the phone
with
a friend who lives in Scotland.. She said that since early this morning
the
snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling.
The temperature is dropping far below zero and the north wind is
increasing
to near gale force. Her husband has done nothing but look through the
kitchen
window and just stare.
She says that if it gets much worse, she may have to let the drunken
bastard
in.
Mother's letter to a son
My dear John, I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well
there.
I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast. We
don't
live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper
that
most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles. I won't
be
able to send the address as the last people who stayed here took the
house
numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change
their
address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier
address
plate here, and that our address will remain same too. This place is
really
nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet
but
I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the
chain
and haven't seen them since. The weather here isn't too bad. It rained
only
twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time
for
4 days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be
a
little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we
cut
them off and put them in the pocket. Your father has another job. He
has
500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery. Your sister
had
a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy,
so
I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle. Your uncle fell in the
vat
at the distillery. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them
off
bravely and drowned. When he was cremated he burned for three days.
There
isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened. Love - Mom.
P.S.
I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had
already
sealed this letter.

I had amnesia once — or was it twice.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.

GOLDY LOGS AND THE THREE PEARS.
Once upon a time, there was a little curl his name was goldy logs.
One day she went for a wart in the woods and this covered a little house.
As she was tied she not on the door and weighted.
Nobody asked her, associated a whale longer and then not the game.
Still nobody asked her, so she opened a door and wedding.
In the livid room there was a cable and three shares, - a little share and to pictures.
On the cable there were three blades of polish, two pig blades and once more played.
As she was angry, she sat down on the small share and tasted one of the pig blades.
It wasn’t swede enough, so she tried the other pig blade.
That was too swede, so she tried the small blade.
That was just right, associated all up.
Then she felt tied, so she went up stares to have a looker33 round.
There was a bird room with two big birds and one small bird.
She lay down on the big bird but that was too hard.
Then she laid down on the other big bird, but that was all so hard.
So she laid down on the small bird and that was just right, and she fell past a sleep.
While she was a sleep, in two the house came three pears –
A dandy pear a money pear and baby pear.
They sat down at the table to eat their polish.
The dandy pear said, hose bean eating my polish?
The money pear said, hose the meeting might orange?
The baby their said hose bin eating might orange, it saw gone!
Then they all went up to bet.
Dandy pear said sun bodies bean slipping in my bet.
Money pear said sun bodies bean slipping in my bet.
Baby pear dried out, look, a little curls father sleep in my bet.
Southerly, Goldy logs woke up, saw the three pears, and screened!
Then she jumped out of the bet, random the stairs and utter the house.
And she never wet in the woods again!

These were sent from Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests'
complaints.
"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
"On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."
A tourist at an African game lodge spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
"The beach was too sandy."
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."
"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
"I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."
"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?" (Blondes?)
"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."
"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."
"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

I wrote a poem dedicated to all shopping addicts everywhere
I Must Go Down to the Shops Again
I must go down to the shops again, to the lovely shops in the mall,
And all I ask is a Visa card so I can spend my all.
At the fashion shops and the jewelery store you'll find me if you try,
With a grey mist across my face as I see the latest buy.
I must go down to the shops again; for the call of the closing SALE
Is a wild call and a clear call that makes me go all pale;
I don't care if it's a windy day with the white clouds a-flying,
And I don't care if I'm soaked to the skin as long as I don't end up
crying.
I must go down to the shops again, though my overdraft is mounting,
It's a girl's way and a woman's way, after all "Who's counting?"
And all I ask is I get there before the sale is done,
And I get that dress that I'm dreaming of, Oh! great! Isn't this fun!

This is how it goes... I decide to wash the car, start down the

BUT
FIRST I'm going to read the newspaper. After that, I notice the mail on
the
table. OK, I'll just put the newspaper in the recycle stack .... BUT
FIRST
I'll look through the pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be
paid.
Yes, Now where is the checkbook? Oops.. there's the empty glass from
yesterday
on the coffee table. I'm going to look for that checkbook... BUT FIRST
I
need to put the glass in the sink. I head for the kitchen, look out the
window,
notice my poor flowers need a drink of water, I put the glass in the
sink
and there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen counter. What's it
doing
here? I'll just put it away... BUT FIRST I need to water those plants.
I
head for the door and...Aaaagh! stepped on the cat. Cat needs to be
