Lisa, I appologize if I participated in that, I didnt mean anything as well.. And I think you know that Patrick is always being sarcastic in his posts, I dont take him literally. If I did any of that, smack me, I was out of line..

lisa- You're one of the few people that could probably make some money at it. If my memory serves me correctly, you were one of the few on this thread to offer to mow lawns, naked to boot! Ah yes, those were the days.... ;-) -Neal

SassyMissy: OFF TOPIC and LONG so everyone is hereby notified ---- --------> if I had a man who was making a living on the market i would be asking what the heck was going on You gotta be kidding me ....... You'd be telling him what was going on and how to make the best of it and that he'd darn well better listen to you .......... ggggggg And speaking of making a living .....here's a story bout two good ol boys and a horse .... Rafe owned a sway backed, older than sin, gray mare with a terrible looking coat and ears which wouldn't stand up straight and had a horrible drooling problem --- named Sukey ..... he was considering what to do other than take the old gray mare to the glue factory..... and.....along down the road came a walking, JimBob, one of Rafe's neighbors.......and ..........JimBob asked what was agoin on and Rafe said he was fixing to do "something" with the old gray mare. and.........JB answered right up and said that he'd give 50 bucks for her.....and.....Rafe came back quick as a whistle -- pay me rat now... so.......home with Sukey the mare went JimBob and she got a bath and a currying just to give himself an idea of what was under the shag and the dirt......then.......as he went walking Sukey to kind of get acquainted with her , Rafe saw JB and his used to be mare and asked where did you get that hoss, ol son. well, JimBob, being an especially acute gentleman, said --- well, dummy, I just bought her from you for 50 bucks. and ......Rafe couldn't believe his eyes that it was the same mare, just washed clean, and immediately offered 60 bucks for her back which JB declined, but countered and said he'd take 75. so ....next day, Rafe couldn't stand it. Got his six bits large out of this sock under the bed and went to buy back his mare ....then ... after the purchase and on the way home with Sukey, Rafe got to thinking that he could put some tape on the ears along with a willow twig to make them stand up and really improve the looks of the mare. so....he did and it did and he combed ol Sukey out and she started perking up and feeling better herself ... and ...being so proud of his new old mare, he went walking ol Sukey down to JB to show off and .... JB had a conniption fit when he saw the spiffed up ol mare what with her ears perked up and stepping lively and ....just had to have her back but ....Rafe said --- no way old buddy, just look at Sukey, she looks 5 years younger than when you stole her from me for 50 bucks but iffen you're so of a mind to -- I'd take a hunnert for her. and ....the deal was done on the spot and....JB husteled home and got some dristan out of the medicine cabinet and pushed it down the throat of ol Sukey to get her to hopefully quit drooling from her nostrils and trimmed her mane and tail and brushed her up good. then Rafe got to worry and figgering that maybe he'd been a tad quit to take his profit and snuck up through the bushes to JimBobs barn just in time to see a stranger looking at and walking around ol Sukey and kinda talking to hisself well, lo and behold - the stranger pulled out two hunnert dollar bills and gave it to JB and loaded up ol Sukey into a trailer he had hitched onto his brand new pickup and drove off....... out of the bushes busted Rafe and grabbed aholt of JimBob and started giving him what for at the top of his voice..... JB yelled back that Rafe was just jealous cause he'd made a good profit and that neither one of em loved ol Sukey anyhoo....... and Rafe screamed at JimBob ----- YOU IDIOT, YOU JUST SOLD THE HORSE WE'VE BEEN MAKING A LIVING ON ...........TO A TOTAL STRANGER AND WE WON'T NEVER SEE HER AGAIN ... AND HOW IN TARNATION ARE WE EITHER ONE GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY ... AND WE BOTH MIGHT STARVE TO DEATH CAUSE YOU'RE SO GREEDY........ and it could be that this market retreat could well be reflected in this story............. but it's not directed to anyone on this thread --- it's just to ponder over and laugh at...... ggggggggg Regards ----- Nemer
