Very few times have I been able to tell the difference in a $12 cut vs more expensive. My daughter has a friend who comes to my house and cuts mine. I give her $20. My husband gets a haircut monthly and he goes to the shop where a friends wife works. He also pays $20. The cuts are $12 and since he knows Margret he tips her well.
Am I just cheap or do you think it is a case of you get what you pay for...

In the Northern Highlands, an impatient fanner knocked at the door of neighboring farmhouse. The daughter of the house answered.
" Is your father in ? " asked the neighbor.
" No. " said the daughter. " He's at the Inverness farmers market. If it's the services of the red Ayrshire bull you want, the cost is $50.00" "
No it's not that" said the neighbor.
" Well. " said the daughter. " If it's the Galloway belted bull you want, it's $40." "
No, it's not that. " said the neighbor.
" How about the small Highland bull." said the daughter.
" The service of that bull is only $30."
The neighbor rudely interrupted the daughter. " That's not what I've come about. Your brother Sandy has made my daughter Fiona pregnant. My wife and I want to know what your father proposes to do about it."
" Oh, well." said the daughter. " You'll have to see my father yourself. I don't know what he charges for Sandy."

Husband took a phone message for his wife and taped it to the refrigerator. It read as follows:

Someone from the gyna colleges called. They said the Pabst beer was okay.
P.S. I didn't even know you liked beer.

( Does it ring a bell with anyone ? )

The Young Scottish Couple
A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, and just gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin'. . .perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed.

Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while the girl spoke again.

"Another penny for your thoughts, Angus".

The young man knit his brow. "Well, now," he said, "my thoughts are a bit more serious this time."

"Really?" said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

"Aye," said the lad. "Din'na ye think it's aboot time ye paid me that first penny?"

A dumb Blonde died and went to Heaven. When she got to the Pearly Gates, she met St. Peter who said, "Before you get to come into Heaven, you have to pass a test."

"Oh, No!" she said, but St. Peter said not to worry he'd make it easy.

"Who was God's son?" said St. Peter.

The dumb Blonde thought for a few minutes and said "Andy!"

"That's interesting... What made you say that?" asked St. Peter.

Then she started to sing "Andy walks with me! Andy talks with me! Andy tells me..."

I am only able to get on here for 1 to 2 hrs in the evening, Which is great! Only trouble is, there are about 50 Q's from the night before ( which just goes to show how popular SC's is) and I don't have time to read them all and only answer 1 or 2. No wonder I don't have many points.
Question is, should I start at the most recent and work back, or start where I left off and play catch up all the time?

One year on Christmas Eve, my husband and I delivered a Christmas meal to a needy family. We were so excited about giving them a turkey, dressing, all the trimmings for a nice dinner. When we got there, the recepient seemed disappointed. She said "But I told them I need a refrigerator."
It took a lot of the joy out of it. I'll admit I get a high from doing that type of thing but not that time. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Ornaments, scratch up the meal, presents if any at all, and muster up cheer and joy for everyones sake?
My children and I had several like this when they were young. We had love and each other and it was okay by us.
We made phonebook trees and spray painted them gold. Paper garlands, popcorn and cranberry garlands, cotton ball snowmen, a borrowed silver tree that was old even then (it even came with the colored light wheel), and Christmas eve enough of a pay day for a chicken. Luckily we had plenty of corn syrup and tons of pecans to shell for pies.
My older kids bought the youngest dollar store baby buggy. I think one child got a pair of sweat pants and the other a sweat shirt.
I was pregnant and working one of these times with a cord running to my neighbors for electricity. But it was all good.

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, "Dad, why are you doing that?" His father replied, "Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Johnny, looking worried, said, "Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy mom

Yesterday was memorable, the cat for some reason came down with diarhea and there is a mess all over the house, cleaning it off the hardwood floors is the easy part, the area rugs and furniture is going to be a challenge. :-(

He also messed all over himself so wrestling him to the floor and cleaning him was not pleasant. It makes me gag. It isnt even my cat, really, its my exe roommates so it really ticks me off. We have a real love/hate relationship because he is so badly behaved. Not that he did this on purpose but --

THEN to put the frosting on the cake my tooth broke off. I know you Americans pay as much for dental work as we do. This is just a nightmare.

Its very demoralizing, its bad enough being on social assistance but to have to start to look the part of what most people have a stereotypical image of: "people on welfare" is really hard to accept.

My nurse was late coming to change my dressing so the demerol had word off by the time she got here - not a good day

Recently, in my state, a 20 year old male beat his girlfriends 4 MONTH old baby in the head so badly that the baby's skull was mush. They also found older fractures that were starting to heal. His excuse was that the baby wouldn't stop crying. The infant may survive, but with severe disabilities. Though I know we aren't suppose to play God, I can't see wasting tax payer dollars to keep this (man) piece of garbage alive.

I got it for three dollars at the salvation army, it is in excellent condition, no rust, but a little sticky, I want to clean it up, but the ladies there, said no soap, no water. They said to just grease it. Will some stranger has used it and I first want to sterilize it before I cook in it. Someone said I could burn it, I guess heat it up until red hot and then put oil in it. Also I have a smooth top stove, afraid if I heat it to red hot, it will cause my stove top to break. I know some of you seniors have used iron sklllets to cook in. What do I do?

Remember what it was like to go to one? Do you know that they are still around? I took my grandson to one last summer and he loved it. He wants to keep going. He thought that it was such a great idea to be able to watch a movie on a big screen and that you could watch while sitting in your car, relaxed. I wasn't too fond of the 40 mile drive each way, but, we will be going again next summer.
