So Maybe Yesterday Wasn't the Limit After All

So Maybe Yesterday Wasn't the Limit After All

I thought I was annoyed yesterday when I wrote, “Ok, That’s The Limit!” but they are coming at me fast and furious and today I find myself annoyed yet again.
A retired teacher friend told me this just happened to her. She lives in a 100 year old farm house which is surrounded by those $1 million castlettes that are becoming all too familiar. By the way, they are built on land which was sold to them by her parents. Nonetheless, one day she was working in her garden and one of her posh neighbors came over to say that her old house was running down the property value of her house and why couldn’t she tear down her house and build a new one or sell it to someone who could.
Well, I was once again flummoxed by such unfathomable gall but if I had been the one on the receiving end of this insult I would have been a lot more than just flummoxed.
I don’t belong here anymore. Scotty, please beam me up now!

I always like your writing Dr. Andy, but your cave is starting to look a little worse for wear. www.joesnare.com

Lady I like the smell of manure

Hey lady, I didn't ask you to move out here where I grew up, that old farm house holds a lot of memories for me, I grew up here. So did mu dad and his dad before him. By the way I just LOVE the smell of manure and cows don't you. And yesterday out back by the wooded area. I saw that old tom cougar that has been around the last 15 years. LOL bet that would have made the posh lady's eyes bug out. She probably would have run home to pack up and high tail it back to the inner city. Hee hee. Can I go with you to that cave? Abominable snowmen sound more appealing than some folks do around this neighborhood.
