Re: You know you’re getting old when…
You know you are getting old when you posses wisdom such as this....
An Italian Mother -
Mrs. Ravioli comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Maria.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates.'
About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?' Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure.' So he sat down and wrote an email:
Dear Mama,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the sugar bowl from my house; I'm not saying that you 'did not' take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Anthony
Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his Mama which read:
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Maria, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her “OWN bed”, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.
Love, Mama

Re: SDA SRS Best place to market
I'm going to wait until this thread totally goes to $hit before I make a comment about "helping my elderly parents liquidate".
Are they hoarding anything good? 🤔

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Brings back a shuddering moment memory....I had a set of great grandparents that had a farm in Summerset TX, several hundred acres. My youngest uncle and I grew up out there with me being pre-school to bb guns to 22. rifles. Anyway, many stories. This one time, my uncle tied a rope around my waist (was 4 years his jr) and lowered me down this shallow cliff to tease a herd of javelina that gathered at the base of this cliff in a dried-up creek bed. They went crazy and I was scared to death!! In retrospect, I can hear the pigs now chanting.....it's the other white meat
