You bollix" <br /><br />SBW<br /><br />PS I have more magazines for youThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1739165937859822298.post-31734639913372137912014-02-07T08:49:30.282-08:002014-02-07T08:49:30.282-08:00Nice to see you posting again Josh!
Having a gun ...Nice to see you posting again Josh!<br /><br />Having a gun go click instead of bang when you expect the bang, seems like a not very good thing. <br /><br />And as always, eager to help as long as the wives and kids can get together and play.

Thanks for stopping by, and especially for encouraging me to write again. <br /><br />No river bottoms for me, yet. <br /><br />We have access to laundry facilities (public and private), but the trips with bags full of laundry have been daunting these many years. <br /><br />You are quite amiable about our butchering of your language, for sure.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1739165937859822298.post-72578078742288626332014-02-07T07:51:06.541-08:002014-02-07T07:51:06.541-08:00Hi, Dad!

I had given up all hope and thought you were probably on the bottom of a river sipping sewage.<br /><br />I urge you to buy yourself a washing machine and learn how to use it. My wife was thrilled that hers was fully automatic. I took the clothes out of the laundry basket, sorted them into loads, stuffed the washing machine etc. A woman is never happier when she has clean crisp undies.<br /><br />Regarding the chores, tackle the biggest one first. After that they're all easy.<br /><br />I do love the way you colonials, speaking only a form of pidgin English mock those of us with a thorough command of our native tongue but, as you have observed at first hand, we take it all in our stride and tend to be rather nice about it.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1739165937859822298.post-4231671927254233282014-02-03T07:23:27.762-08:002014-02-03T07:23:27.762-08:00the gun story was great.

I no longer make 'em.<br />Start with the smallest chore first. Don't think about the others until that one is done. If you are like me, by the time you give up on that one you will have forgotten what the others were, and that small project that you never got around to won't seem so important after all.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651923580699187105noreply@blogger.com
