Got to get me one of those cell phones some day. Thought they were just another fad like pet rocks and lava lamps. Got one of each of those.

SM: I can relate to your wife's late parent's shocked reaction to gambling and not understanding...  faygo, Wanna define resemble, maybe resent? I think Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is now in my old library, it's out in paper back now. oej How many times do I have to tell you, marie does not need a moral for a story. However since ginxxx was so understandably down about her lost cell phone, I tried to encourage positive thoughts for the future. The book was probably depressing but tried for upbeat on the last page. rfonlymama - Too funny! Wherever do you get this stuff? Death March sounds about right - how about BEFORE we put $ into the machine. Seems like a slow news day for all of us! But do we consider stopping. No way!

Ed and oej, I do hear you and others about $700 and library book but usually prefer to ignore you. No offense! It really was my husband's fault that $700 of my winnings were returned to the library in his book. HE left the book in my "clean" car for an only hiding place. My first story was too long to include: as I juggled $1400 in casino wins, in my car, in a dimly lit grocery store parking lot, I realized a guy in the car facing mine was staring at me. Logic told me the odds were 99% he was waiting for someone to finish shopping. OR could he have followed me home from the casino? Did he see me retrieve the money and where I was putting it. FOCUS, I told myself, lock the car, walk behind the car, get into store where there were lights and people, pronto, and I would be safe. Fast forward. My priority was to put away the perishable groceries. I'll find the money first thing in the morning when it's light. It never happens but husband took my car the next morning with the $700 loaded library book. The rest is history. RIP

 M squared, understand that while J and I rant and rib back and forth, theres certainly no offense intended or none taken. You'd really have to cross Webmans lines to offend me so you need'nt worry there. As for the $700, I only remembered someone mentioning it and from my limited memory, I threw in a cheap 2 cents worth so sorry if you took offense from my post. You did the right thing as far as securing yourself from harm and $700 is a small price compared to ones life. I will continue my 2 cents worth as long as I'm not stepping on anyones toes, unfortunately, some things get misconstrued.(like Ginny losing her cell phone!) Sad occurence but good fodder for cheap shot-isms.

Marie (sounds like a fake name to me)
Are you a novel or short story author? You build charecter and life to your story. Just seems like you have a writers persona about you. I can see why you might ignore Ed but why OEJ? My feelings are hurt and I cannot concentrate now. See what you have caused. I might as well have that cold chicken leg that is left over from Sunday after church rivial. Chomp Chomp.

quote: Marie (sounds like a fake name to me)                                        oej: "sticks and stones" - WHO would name their kid "oej719"? I ask! Writing is a gift, I tell ye, may as well use it to amuse others. I've had $600 of laughs over that library book story and cannot seem to shake the last excruciatingly painful $100 out of my mind! MikeA, with his 1413 posts, but who's counting, once mentioned every story reminds him of others. Same here, to lesser extent. Clwn2, et al, can you relate? Thought so.                                                                                                                                                            So, on the loooong drive to my husband's family reunion, he asks me to NOT talk about gambling. This was rare because he knows I will talk about anything I please, values his life and I would never think of discussing gambling with his relatives. His beautiful relatives are wonderful, good souls, conservative, no vices, thrifty, God fearing, church-going, clean living, hard working, volunteer for charity, you get the idea! We really do like them, in spite of these preceding over-whelming faults! I have known all this for way too many years, so it was weird that he even felt it necessary to coach me. We WANT these unusual people to like us for whatever reason, why should I ever mention gambling? "How about I not attend the reunion, I might say the WRONG thing!" I suggested, oh so sincerely! I got the idea that he is the black sheep of his family, years ago, which says little for my tastes. Five minutes into the reunion, I hear my husband announcing "We just returned from a good trip to Vegas!" WTF!                                                                              (credit Boops for that last part!) You guys are all taking on personalities probably nowhere near reality!

Marie you could use a good editor it looks like. You got the prose part down nicely, but an editor would put you at the next level. OEJ is Joe spelled mixed up. Sort of shuffeled if you will.
Looks like you can ignore me no longer, almost as if you were flirting. I can see those eyes blinking now and your brow rising.
Got to finish that chicken leg before the cat beats me to it.
Who is WTF? They are not listed as a member that I can see.

Marie, "resemble" is a play on words. ( i.e. Old Book- I resemble OLD)

[marie meijer]

Thanks faygo, why did I not see that or oej transposed? When one eyed jacks fit, I looked no further. When we flew to Reno we felt young, rich and healthy. NOW, old, poor and very sick with colds of the century. Jean S. warned about something going around V that materialized when visitors returned home. Afraid we stepped in the same stuff. Husband pulled something in his back, related to income tax, bending over and picking up papers and cannot move. Afraid to ask what's next! How can I chirp and spread good cheer when I feel like DWO? (as in death warmed over) Good day.
