How is it that I use the same gas and water pipes and the basic supplier is the same as that to Manwenb and British Gas, but most other suppliers of those services companies charge me less. "There be summat fuuny 'ere"

If you ignore the demand he shouts, "You pay attention when I talk to you!" The parents either are not around or ignore the whole thing.

I have a dry sharp and sometimes very dark sense of humour which sometimes takes a train of thought to work out what I have said. I find that this is not always "got" by people.(It does involve a element of sarcasm at times) I don't like the obvious,slapstick, or having to use foul language to get a laugh. What makes you laugh? Do you think humour differs in other countries? (I am English)

monthly payments and were going to increase them from £25 per month to £36 almost 50%. Since my account has never been in debit I rang them to tell them not to increase my direct debit payments.My question is how many of you have received similar letters and have you done anything about it.Why should they take what would amount to millions of pounds off us Senior citizens in advance for no good reason. It is common practice with all the utility companies.Help your elderly neighbours by contesting it if you can, if they are unable to do it themselves.

My Grandpa would send me for things like
"box of grid squares"
"a pucket of prop wash"
"a roll of flight line"
"a left handed monkey wrench"

When I would ask my dad to do something he would tell me," Sure I will do it as soon as I find out where I lost my box of 'Round 2 it's'"

and lets not forget the good old Snipe hunt!

treatment required by a "hospital-acquired complication"? In addition, it will no longer pay for falls, objects left in surgical patients and other problems that happen in hospitals that could have been prevented.

This rule change also blocks hospitals from billing patients for the cost of the treatment.

Do you think the hospitals will be more careful with the patients they receive now?

1. Australians look forward to freedom
2. Italians and Spanish are prone to do nothing
3. Britons and Americans most likely travel abroad for long periods.
4. Germans like to travel also, but prefer sporting activities
5. French go for gardening
6. Canadians do lots of charity work
7. Japanese have retirement allergies. Forty percent pursued paid work after retirement. That's 10 times more than France.

Isn't that interesting?

The international survey was taken by the French insurance group Axa.

Christmas Catalogs? I remember when I had to tell my son and nephew that Santa did not exist (we let them believe for a while because its fun). But they got over it when we told them to make a wish list and use the catalog to find what they wanted. I loved that they would put the page no., describe the item and then put the price. They would say its "only $59.99."

I got to level 4 so I colored my hair red, got extensions, went to a tanning salon, bought some cool sunglasses and changed my top.

I like to shop and pamper myself when I reach a new level or goal in my life.

I'd rather be off in the era of Star Trek or some futuristic place, but the days of Knights of the Round Table kind of appealed to me as well.

I overheard a conversation where a pleasant lady stated "On so and so you cut your hair. The response from the person was "I didn't cut my hair, the hairdresser did" in a not so nice tone. What makes people this way?

When I was young we visited Atlantic City well after its glory days. A hotel was recommended to us by a senior citizen and so we chose that one to stay.

When we got there the place was a dump but we had no other alternative. My mother, sister, and I shared one of these old beds where a light bulb hung above us. When we all got in the whole bed fell in. Plus it was not the cleanest place. Needless to say, no one got any sleep that night.

I think the senior who recommended it was thinking about how it use to be when they last visited this hotel.

Life experiences - gotta love it

My husband and I are considering moving into an active adult community once my mother passes away. We live out in the middle of nowhere right now to be near her, but we are very socialble. Plus, we have too much yardwork to do and are really tired of fighting a constant battle with it!
