She called me about moving and picked my brain about it. She talked about many many things and had my brain going. I finally "fell down" and admitted that she was likely right about my staying here. I felt slightly sad, but relieved. I realized after all of the things she said that she was likely bloody right.


I nearly called her back and told her to pick up a job if you need money; to go to the local Ford dealership and ask to be car salesperson. I thought that, hey, I could be her reference and vouch for her being a saleslady for cars. She would sell likely 5-10 cars a DAY with her salesmanship.

So, I am NOT moving back home downtown like I thought I was. Some other things happened too that I thought would make the whole commotion "feel better". I worship her like a goddess. She is much less of a monster and more of a demi-god now. I can't believe that she sold me into staying here. WOW.
Just. wow.

If I sent her for a day job as car saleswoman, she would take home a huge as heck bundle of $$$ every month, more than enough to pay her bills and feed the kids.

    Some people are just born with the gift, Devon.

    I remember going for a sales position back in my salad days. The guy interviewing me on the opposite side of this huge desk said, "OK, you think you got what it takes to sell, well sell me this glass of water", pointing to a glass that stood in between us on his desk.

    I thought for a few seconds, then went across the room, got my lighter out and set fire to his waste basket.

    "Holy Moses what in the name of god are you doing fella?", he shouted.

    I grabbed the glass on the table and said to him, "Hey, you want to buy this glass of water?"

    I got the job.

    Stay happy Devon.

      I would NEVER have dreamed of doing that. Now that is COOL! Anyway, you could have burnt the place to a crisp!

        It was a crisp factory.

        Only joking.

        It was a joke to start with.

        Here's a better one about me and my wife, just to brighten your day, Devon . . .

        I left work one Friday afternoon, but instead of going straight home I met up with the boys at the local bar. We then went fishing and hunting, staying out the entire weekend, and I spent all my wages.

        When I finally got home on Sunday night I was confronted by my very angry wife. Eventually, after two hours, she stopped nagging and said, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?" I replied, "That would be fine with me".

        Monday went by and I didn't see my wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went by with the same results.

        Thursday, the swelling went down just enough for me to see her a little out of the corner of my left eye.

      That was funny. I'm going to use that myself.

        Odd, it's not nearly as funny when my wife tells that joke.

        Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

    One time I sold a used hubcap to a man on a donkey.

    Good jokes. I PRAY that the fire in the wastebasket wasn't true. That would be awful.
