Phones are a nuisance always unless I am making the call, or it's one I'm waiting for....I once worked in a place where I had to answer the phone for 120 English instructors. I came to hate the phone very, very much.

I live where they think half an inch of rain is a lot. This amuses me.

I grew up where 1/2 inch of rain was a light summer shower.

1/2 inch of rain isn't considered a lot here in the west of Ireland either, I remember when I was in hospital in Dublin - two Dublin women complaining about the rain, I thought "what rain??" ;)

My first golf lesson

 

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson.

"Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?'' she asked the instructor.

"P-u-t-t is correct,'' he replied.

"Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

Currently, it's 111 with 11% humidity, and some anvil clouds building up in the SE. I like it best when it's 112-116 and 3%...;o]

Ooooooohhhhhh!!!! Everything on sale, huh? I like bargains, but only if I was going to buy the item anyway, sooner or later. A digital camera will be later...MUCH later!

I was a telephone CSR, and after 5 years of that, I decided the phone is for MY convenience. If I want to answer it when it rings, I will. Otherwise, I'll let the answering machine pick it up.

I have a pre-paid cell phone...that way, when someone asks me for my cell number, I can tell them "it's a tool, not a toy."

;o]

Not sure how much rain you get,but a lot of places around here get less than 15 inches a year, and those are the wet places. Here in Ogden, because of the mountains, we can bump it up to about 17 inches.

I'm a serial thread killer. I know that now. Why doesn't someone invent Thread-Killers Anonymous?
