MORNING FUNNY...

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I’d been ‘computering’,
And I had to answer ‘yes’

He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house
And so I started cleaning up…
The smudges off my mouse

I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick…
I was just admiring my work.
I didn’t mean to ‘click.’
But click, I did, and oops I found
A real absorbing site.
That I got SO way into.
I was into it all night.

Nothing’s changed except my mouse
It’s very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess…
While I sit here on my hiney.

pearllena — Haven't gone in to your sales to see the value of the item, but as a general rule of thumb, unless the value is greater than the shipping cost, it makes the most sense to "self-insure", meaning that you hold enough of your own funds in reserve to cover any losses.

What might work for you, and the buyer, is to insure the mailed item through DSI – there's a link to their website on our Big Red Post, last posted on 18-Nov-09 at 01:09:28 EST on this Board, They won't give you the tracking that you want, but they will cover any losses bu either you or the buyer for a fraction of the cost of insuring through USPS.

I just sold a necklace to a person in Canada. If I mail the necklace to her just regular mail it will only cost about $4 - but we want tracking/confirmation and that, we are shocked to discover, will cost $18.00 - any advice on how to send this cheaper?

MORNING FUNNY...

FEELING YOUR AGE

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turned to the other and said, “Slim, I’m 75 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?”

Photobucket

Slim said, “Heck, I feel just like a newborn baby.”

“Really? Like a baby?”

“Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.”

Hello to everyone when you do :)

vintage-memories Yes as usual you are right.
I can't put anything on ebay as Auctiva keeps coming through
I finally got a response from them today & they are going to try something on their end. The words are all over the page & I won't put anything on that way.

barkyd Are you going to take me up on my offer?

I only paid $2. for the box & got a lot more than that value. Items for myself like silve,brasso etc.
I didn't look through the box there.
If you read above; I am not on ebay untill I get rid of Activa.
You can just have it...free boy...free lol :)

MORNING FUNNY (ESPECIALLY FOR MARY)...

It takes an Italian man…

It takes an Italian Man to make a Woman feel like a Woman…

On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The
turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck
by lightning. One woman in particular loses it.

Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. “I’m too young to die,” she
wails. Then she yells, “Well, if I’m going to die, I want my last minutes on
earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like
a WOMAN?”

For a moment there is silence.. Everyone has forgotten their own peril. They all
stared, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.

Then an Italian man stands up in the rear of the plane. He is gorgeous : tall,
well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.

He starts to walk slowly up the aisle,unbuttoning his shirt…..one button at a
time. ……

No one moves. ……

He removes his shirt. …….

Muscles ripple across his chest. …..

She gasps………..

He whispers: …….

“Iron this, and get me something to eat….”

Just wondering if anyone from Canada has aquired "The Top Rated Seller" Badge. This is shown on listings if you are top rated in all categories. I can't see how anyone that ships out of country could possible attain this as shipping time is longer for out of country... although, I do ship Air only, but you never know if customs will slow things down. Also, I get lower ratings on shipping prices, even though I charge exact shipping and a $2 handling fee. Can't seem to win. I noticed that my sales have dropped significantly since they came out with the Badge.

RAY...the shop=aholic is not just for "girls"...it applies to the boys too. I've seen some garages and basements stocked to the rafters of "guy buying". Some places were sooooo full I don't think you could even shove a toothpick into any of the spaces. Unfortunately, in one case, the fellow passed away and it was a free-for-all in his place then everything left went to the dump. So sad...

Widdel Wabbits

A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbitth?"

As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?"

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice,


"I don't think my python weally givth a thit."

Hmmm, this "shop-aholic" thing sounds like a "Girl" trait ....
My DW spends 11½ months shopping at every available thrift store, visiting anything that even remotely looks like a garage sale, and snooping at all the local bazaars and charity sales ...
... then spends the other two weeks of the year cataloguing it all for a Garage Sale!

My question is:-
Is this a genetic trait, or does it have something to do with "gender" ...??

I will tell ya why I hate needles,in late 1988,I had a really bad throat infection,Dr gave me antibiotic shot and then meds for 2 weeks,I had just ,moved to aa new place Sofia my second was 10 month old

well for a whole yr I felt worn down,but thought it had to do with 2 kids J0ey just over 2 in between getting on to 3 Sofia getting bigger,and man was she the most active playful child

Well the following Sept,I thought I had a mild virus or flu
after 3 weeks of feeling like this,I finally went to the Doctors,he did blood work,the next week he did urine test,and I also had a mild sinus infection

all test came back,I had the worst urine infection he had even seen,I don't remember haing a fever and sinus problem,and then the big bang,I had Mono that I am sure i carried from 1989,I felt like death,not to mention I then got pregnant with Julia,lol

talk about too many things going on at once

any way,because of the Mono,I had to get 2 vitamin B shots a week for 8 weeks
and because my Docotr knew me since birth i would get the shot and he would lightly punch me where he just gave me the needle,well he bunched me twice when i finally punched him back on the arm and said next time i would punch his face,mind you this was all in joking,but I do think i would of knocked him out if he punched me again,lol

so thats why I hate needles,and omg,getting blood taken out,I usually have someone come with me,I have food in my purse to eat(I know they don't take out enough for me to need food,mind over matter)and my cafferine coffee in thermo mug,i just get so queaszy of the thought,and I bet you all guessed i don't look to see the blood coming out,I just ask after its done,how many viles they sucked out of me,lol..yesterday was only 3
I do have a B 12 deficiency,and I was suppose to go monthly for a shot,I never went,and as dumb as my doctor is,she even forgot,but mondays blood work,I saw she checked off B vitamins

Suppliments of B-12 is not enough,I need the shots,
she is also looking for cholesterol and thyroid
oh and they forgot to call me for an ultrasound for my goiter,I know I spelled that wrong,last thyroid came back ok,but she is doing it again,don't know why she isn't checking for hormon levels,unless I didn't read the sheet right
wow that was a mouthful

Yesterday morning when you posted the first time, I had already done, 9 listings (no not here) answered 3 questions, got one shipment ready and started another one, was halfway through making lunch and getting ready to make breakfast.

I'd probably done some other things too, just can't remember what, put it down to my seniorism.

Oh yeah, I was mortoring on 3 cups of coffee, my morning ritual and on to blueberry flavoured blue tea.

For some reason or other, my internal clock has changed and I can't seem to alter it *sigh*.

MORNING FUNNY...

HOW TO BATHE YOUR CAT

1) First …. dress for the occasion. A 4-ply rubber wet suit is suggested, along with a helmet, face mask and welders gloves.

2) A Bathtub with a glass enclosure is preferred to the one with a shower curtain. A frenzied cat can shred one of these in about 3.5 seconds.

3) Have the Kitty Bubbles and towel in the enclosed bathtub area beforehand. No… blow drying the cat after the bath is not suggested.

4) Draw the water, making it a little warmer than needed as you still need to find the cat. Position everything strategically in the shower, so you can reach it even if you are face down or prone in the tub.

5) Find your cat. Use the element of surprise. Pick the cat up, nonchalantly as if you were simply carrying him/her to the supper dish. No need to worry about the cat noticing your strange attire, the cat barely notices you anyway.

6) Once you and the cat are inside the bathroom speed is essential. In one single liquid motion shut the door to the bathroom, step into the shower, close the sliding doors, and drop the cat into the water. While the cat is still in a state of shock locate the Kitty Bubbles and squirt whatever part of him is above the water line. You have just begun the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Remember that cats have no handles and add the fact that he now has soapy fur. His state of shock has worn off and he’s madder than hell.

7) As best, you can, wearing welder’s gloves, try to field his body as he
catapults through the air toward the ceiling. If possible, give another
squirt of Kitty Bubbles with his body now fully exposed.

During the 5 seconds you are able to hold onto him, rub vigorously. No need to worry about rinsing. As he slides down the glass enclosure into the tub, he will fall back into the water, rinsing himself in the process.

9) Only attempt the lather and rinse process about 3 times. The cat will
realize the lack of traction on the glass by then and will use the next
attempt on the first available part of you.

10) Next, the cat must be dried. No, this is NOT the easiest part. By this stage, you are worn out and the cat has just become semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. We suggest here that you drain the tub and in full view of your cat, reach for the bottle of Kitty Bubbles.

11) If you have done step 10 correctly, the cat will be off your leg and
hanging precariously from your helmet. Although this view of the cat is most disgusting, he will be in a much better position for wrapping the towel around him.

12) Be sure cat is firmly wrapped in towel before opening tub enclosure.
Open bathroom door …. put towel-wrapped cat on floor and step back
quickly. Into tub, if possible, and do not open enclosure until all you can
see is the shredded towel.

13) In about 2 hours …. it will be safe to exit the bathroom. Your cat
will be sitting out there somewhere looking like a small hedgehog while
plotting revenge. But doesn’t he smell better?????

Thank Goodness for few loyal ones that were on :)

Remember I was using Auctiva (which I cancelled) for my ads & somehow it is still on my pc( can't get rid of it totally). I put on two ads & the words were so messed up; it looked terrible.
Over a week ago;I emailed them & ebay. Ebay did email saying it was my HTML (don't understand this;but trying)
Nothing from Auctiva
I won't put another ad on unless it's right.

The Saskatchewan Drunk

Recently, during a routine patrol, an RCMP patrolman parked down the street outside a Legion Hall just off the main Street in Estevan, Saskatchewan .

After last call, the officer observed a man leaving the Legion Hall. The gentleman was so intoxicated that he could barely walk. He then stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car, which he fell into.

He sat there for a few minutes and then threw a hook and line out the window and seemed to be trying to catch a fish.. A number of other patrons paid no attention to this crazy drunk as they left the bar and drove off.

Finally the drunk started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine, dry summer night) flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn, and switched on the headlights.

He then pulled in the hook and line and moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patron vehicles left. At last, when the parking lot was empty; he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road.

The officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over. He performed a breathalyzer test on the gentleman who co-operated fully, and to his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, 'I'll have to ask you to accompany me to Headquarters.This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the truly proud Saskie,"Tonight I'm the designated decoy!"

MORNING FUNNY...

The Flying Blonde

A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first class section. The
stewardess tells her she must move to economy because she doesn’t have a first
class ticket.

The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m smart, I have a good job and I’m staying in
first class until we reach Jamaica.”

The stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the woman to leave and she
says, “I’m blonde, I’m smart, I have a good job and I’m staying in first class
until we reach Jamaica.”

The stewardesses don’t know what to do because they have to get the rest of the
passengers seated to take off, so they get the co-pilot.

The co-pilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She immediately gets
up and goes to her seat in the economy section.

The head stewardess asks the co-pilot what he said to get her to move.

The co-pilot replies, “I told her the front half of the airplane wasn’t going to
Jamaica.”

The Parking Ticket

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.

So my wife called him a shit-head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus and the car had a Quebec license plate.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

MORNING FUNNY PART 2...

Traveling Salesman

There was a traveling salesman whose car became hopelessly stuck in a snow bank during a recent blizzard in North Dakota. It took him several hours to make it to the nearest farm house, but frozen half to death, he finally reached the front door and knocked on it. A grizzled old farmer answered, and the salesman pleaded for a place to spend the night.

“Why sure young fella, I can give ya a place to bunk.” said the hospitable old man. “But I ain’t got no daughter for ya to sleep with, like ya always hear about in them thar jokes.”

“Oh!” said the salesman. “Just how far is it to the next house?”

A traveling salesman is going through the country when his car breaks down. He goes to a nearby farmhouse and asks to use the phone.

The farmer tells him, “We ain’t got a phone, but I’m headin’ into town tomorrow an’ you kin spend the night here. O’ course you’ll have to sleep in the same bed as my three sons, here.”

And the salesman says, “Wait a minute. I’m in the wrong joke.”

Hello; I am a newbie to this chat group. I have some St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada trade tokens, 1 and 2 dollars. I would like to list them, but I cannot find any Canadian trade tokens on eBay. (Lots of US stuff, though.) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm down to writing the conclusion on my essay. The people above me picked this morning to do flooring. I put on my ipod and cranked the tunes. Fooled them.

Good morning folks. A bit over cast today but the day holds good promise. Going to a cocktail party tonight. Ears are getting better. I have 4 episodes of Desperate Housewives to catch up on so that I can watch the next one on Sunday. No garage sales for me this weekend. I think Ladner and surrounding areas have stopped their garage sales. Lots of bazzaars going on at churches and schools. Hope you all have a fabulous day. Breakfast time...BBL

CA's ditty this guy is looking to be praised for being successful not being satisfied with his achievements.

Read Psalm 71 and give me your take on it. It is the psalm of an old man wondering if God has always been with him throughout his life. I call it the bipolar psalm because first he's praising God for everything in his life then he questions if God will cast him out because he is old. He fears his enemies and thinks they are trying to kill him.

It just seems to from the praising on the harp to deep depression verse by verse.

Stock it nicely with beautiful antiques. Now I mean REAL antiques, not some people's interpretations of antiques which may, can include reproductions and new stuff :(

DAILY DITTY...

"My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success." Helen Hayes
