Dear Husband:
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.
These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.
Last week, you came home and didn't notice that I had gotten my
hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game.
You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or anything.Either you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, whatever the case is, I'm gone.
P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are
moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!
Your EX Wife
Dear Ex Wife
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been.
I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn't work.
I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!"
My mother raised me to not say nothing, if you can't say anything nice.
When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.
I went to sleep when you had on that new negligee, because the
price tag was still on it.
I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99.
After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone.
Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the
fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said, that with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.
P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born Carla. I hope that's not a problem.
Signed, Rich As Hell
Got a letter from Grandma today. She writes...
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk If You Love Jesus " bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting; so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience that followed! I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is...and I didn't notice that the light had changed. That's when I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! Everyone started honking! Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! JESUS CHRIST, GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
I leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"...
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii; but I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing... why even he was enjoying this religious experience!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers, grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared; so I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
Love, Grandma
That is interesting but I'm not interested.

I thought we advertised for a pool boy with great biceps....
Uh oh, gotta go...LOL!!!
Only if she doesn't learn how to read...
Oh you silly Lapdog.
The things you won't do for a bone...Lol!

If so, it was a brilliant move to grow the company without incurring debt.

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua.
As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend,
"Let's go over to that bar for a drink."
The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."
The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do."
They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.
The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."
The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Doberman?"
The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."
The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."
The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought, "what the heck", so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.
Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."
The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?" The woman with the Chihuahua said, "A Chihuahua? The bastards gave me a Chihuahua?"
LOL!!
(Oops, didn't mean to laugh so loud at the Confessional.)
Would love to join you but my Lear's in the shop..lol.
Time will tell for us all.
You better watchout your wife doesn't turn into a snapdog..lol.
Darn, and I thought it was to say Hi to me....lol.
Everyone has a different investment strategy and hopefully we all learn lessons from our mistakes. I have made my share of them as well.

Happy Birthday ASUS!!!
I confess, you don't look a day over twenty five:)

Excuse me for chiming in Mr. Mthead though I will venture to say that there are more than a few of us, (myself included) that are looking at this company as an "growth investment" where the focus of the shareprice is a few years down the road.
The short term has no bearing on why we bought shares. As you have stated you live close by so you must be seeing construction and repair going on at an enormous rate. PBLS is making ALOT of money. I also believe many of us are content to purchase more shares if the price does decline and add them to our long term holdings.
Good luck in your particular investment strategy.
Have a good day sir.

Thanks Paul Alonzo!
Lots of info. It will take some time to go through it. That'll keep us busy..lol.

They said there are 300 truck loads/day, 7 days a week moving out of this location. They also stated that they had to travel 40-50 miles away from the levees to acquire the materials needed. They are focusing on St Bernards Parish where they are attempting to remove one of the barges blown onto the levee.
I'm watching the Discovery Channel which is showing the rebuilding of the levees.

Perhaps in another life.
You're not my husband in disguise..are you?...LOL!
Yes but how deep is she going to take those "special people?"
No it is not there.
Makes the decision to take the .03 floor or hold on to their shares tough for some.
So will I.
Wonder Woman has impeccable taste in posters.
Beer,

You don't need body guards when you got Wonder Woman.
She'll kick butts and take names for sure.
My bad, wrong punctuation, bad, bad.
Better not let my kids see this..lol.. hic!

Happy Forth er, I mean Fourth of July!
Wheeeee!!!!

By the way, you don't hold erhe do you?
Nevermind...lol.
Will do.
I confess, though I'm not typing to good tonight...lol.
Now I know where to find you.
I need to find a picture.
Love the bunny!
Well...I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
By the way, you are the most organized poster I've ever run across. Is there any link you don't have?..lol.

Makes you wonder.
LOL...You two crack me up!
Hope all are getting ready to watch fireworks. Be safe if you are launching them. Had a roman candle backfire in my hand when I was a kid. (That was before they became illegal in certain states.)
From another board:
NEW LAW COMING FROM CONGRESS -- AMERICANS WITH NO ABILITIES ACT
WASHINGTON, DC - Congress is considering sweeping legislation, which provides new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislation by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
"Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they do a better job, or have some idea of what they are doing."
The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job skills, making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of Inability.
Private sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%),and home improvement "warehouse" stores (65%) The DMV also has a great record of hiring Persons of Inability. (63%)
Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million "middle man" positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given, to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations which maintain a significant level of Persons of Inability in middle positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the AWNA ACT contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the Nonabled, banning discriminatory interview questions such as "Do you have any goals for the future?" or "Do you have any skills or experience which relate to this job?"
"As a Nonabled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint , MI due to her lack of notable job skills. "This new law should really help people like me." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other
untalented citizens can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Senator Ted Kennedy, "It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation."
Rgds,
