I FORGET WHO SENT THIS PERFECTLY FOLDED 4 LEAF CLOVER OUT OF DOLLAR BILLS... I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW PERFECTLY IT IS FOLDED.. I LOOK AT IT CONSTANTLY AND WONDER WHO FIGURED THAT OUT---
WE HAVE A SMALL COLLECTION OF DOLLARS BEING OBJECTS OF ART..-- A CAREFULLY FOLDED SHIRT,, TO A TREE OF BLOSSOMS ,RINGS, AND NOW THIS 4 LEAF CLOVER..--- ANND WE ALSO HAVE AN ONGOING COLLECTION OF $2 BILLS... THAT SO FAR ARE DEFYING ANY OF OUR CREATIVE ATTMEPTS.
MAYBE THESE THINGS SHOULD BE COLLECTED TO DECORATE THE NEW BUILDING???? THE BLDG NEEDS A NAME---- THE MONEY MUSEAM ???
THERE ARE SEVRAL NAMES IT WILL NOT BE CALLED-- THE TANNINIG SALOON IS ONE OF THEM-
SHORTT IHISTORY ON THAT COMMETN FOR NEW PEOPLE---
THAT AWFUL IRS 990 FORM THAT I MUST FILL OUT YEARLY--- HAS A QUESTION #14 "DO YOU HAVE OR HAVE YOU EVER RUN A TANNING SALOON ..." I HAVE SEEN THAT FOR MANY YEARS AND WONDERED WHERE THAT CAME FROM... APPARENTLY--- THERE IS A 10% TAX ON TANNING SALOONS IN AN EFFORT TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM GETTING SKIN CANCER???? REALLY??? JEANNE MOOS HAD A SEGMENT ON IT...
THIS FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL...
Indoor tanning tax may be history
CNN
Tempest over a 10% tax on tanning. CNN's Jeanne Moos reports that the tan lines are drawn. Read the full story

SOUNDS LUDICROUS BUT THIE JEANNIE MOOS WENT ON ABOUT THE "ORANGE" SENATORS-- AND TRUMP AND AN ABSOLUTELY FRIED HUMAN FEMALE WHO WAS THE COLOR OF BURNT TOAST. MY ONLY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WIHT IT IS AN MD-- DERMOTOLOGIST --SUGGEWSED I HAVE A 45 SECOND EXPOSURE TO TREAT SOME SKIN DEAL YEARS AGO-- AND AFTER 45 SECONDS, MY SKIN WAS BRIGHT PINK AND NO LONGER BENT IN ANY NORMAL WAY TIL I SHED ONE LAYER LIKE SNAKES DO... IT WAS AWFUL.
I FELT THE NEED TO PASS ON MYT BAD EXPERIENCES TO SAVE ANYONE ELSE FROM HAVING TO TRY THAT
*****
I HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO SIT AND DO NOTHING EXCEPT THINK ABOUT ANNE'G GRANT --- WHILE I WAITED FOR JUDY TO GET HER ARM STITCHED IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT LAHEY--- SHE MISSED THE BOTTOM STEP ON THE SPIRAL STAIRS AND TOOK A CHUNK OUT OF HER UPPER ARM.
GRACE ( OUR RESIDENT RN) WAS ONTHE CASE IMMEDIATELY AND GAVE HER PROFESSIONAL OPINION "SHE HAS A PRETTY GOOD GOUGE" SHE COVERED IT WITH VET WRAP... "SO IT DIDN'T DRIP" -- THIS IS I THINK TEH FIRST THING FIRST RESPONDERS LEARN TO DO NOW....
I REMEMBER THE AMBULANCE CREW WHO SCOOPED ME FROMT EH SIDEWALK AFTER MY BIG ELECTRICAL ACCCIDENT--" DON'T EVEN RINSE OR WI[E IT OFF.. JUST GET IT COMVERED UP SO IT DOESN'T DRIP ALL OVER TEH AMBULNCE." ---- UNCONTAINED BLOOD IS A LETHAL THING NOW-A-DAYS-- NEVER USED TO BE THAT WAY- EITHER ALL THE BUGS ARE NEW, OR IT IS SOME WILD PROMOTIONAL SCHEME BY THE RUBBER GLOVE MNANUFACTURERS.
AT ANY RATE....IT WAS REUNION TIME IN THE ER... THE GUY WHO SEWED JUDY UP WAS THE SAME ODOCTOR WH O LAST SEWED ME UP, SO HE CAME OUT TO SAY HELLO,,, WE WERE JOINED BY A YOUNGER MAN -- AN EMT . WHO STOPPED BY TO SAY "WERENT YOU IN SOME ELECTRICAL ACCIDENT ABOTU A YEAR AGO WITH THESE DOGS?"
I HOPE SOME GOOD COMES OF IT... THE DOCTOR ?DEAGEN? HAS A WIFE WHO WORKS WITH PARKINSON PATIENTS- AND TEH
EMT GUY DOESNT LIVE TOO FAR AWAY AND WILL HOPEFULLY STOP BY TO GIVE THE DOGS MORE EXPERIENCE BEING AROUNFD MEN.... JUDY WILL SURVIVE...

APPARENTLY TOMORROWS STORM IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY... THE WAD OF GREEN I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS OUT TO SEA, BUT IT IS THAT BLUE BLOB OVER CHICAGO THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GATHERING A GREEN STRING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO THAT MUST BE WHAT EVERYON E IS TALKING ABOTU. A PILOT FRIEND GAVE ME ----http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx?location&weather=hdRadarSmoothPaletteA AND I HAVE COME TO RESPECT THI LITTLE BLUE BLOBS OVER OMAHA-- AND I DIDN'T EVEN GO TO WEATHERMENS SCHOOL.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT, THAT I CAN GUARENTEE NO STORE WILL HAVE ANY BREAD OR MILK LEFT.-
IN A DISASTER, WE HAVE 4 TONS OF DOG FOOD-- PROBABLY AS NURISHING FOR HUMANS AS CEREAL.
**
IN THE NEWS THE STARVATION OF PEOPLE IN AFRICA...IS BLAMED ON NOT ENOUGH FOOD... NO ONE TALKS ABOUT TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD POPULATION... AND THINGS LIKE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER..
****
BOTH THE NY TIMES AND WSJ EACH GIVE ME 10 PARAGRAPHS A DAY TO READ... AND THAT IS ABOUT MY MAXIMUM - I DISCONTINUED TEH PAPER VERSION-- THE NEWSPAPERS IN LITTLE BAGS WERE COLLECTIN G AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY- IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS AWAY ON VACATION SO THEIVES COULD COME AND ROB THIS JOINT...-- IT WAS ONCE SIAD "MAYBE THE PLACE HAS BEEN RANSACKED , AND WE JUST DIDN'T NOTICE" --
****
I AM TOLD WE ARE COLLETING STAINLESS STEEL TABLES AND THINGS IN THE MUSEAM? I LOVE STAINLESS STEEL- I EVEN GAVE MY DAUGHTER TEH BEAUTIFUL HUGE GORHAM STERLING SILVER FLATWEAR- AND BOUGHT THE SAME PATTERN FOR JANINIE AND I IN STAINLESS--- MUCH CHEAPER AND DOESN'T NEED POLISHIHNG.... THIS WAS A WISE MOVE.
I REMEMBER.... THE PRE THANKSGIVING RITUAL OF POLISHING AND TH EPOST T-DAY COUNTING THE FORKS BEFORE YOU DUMPED TEH TRASH...- STAINLESS LOOKS THE SAME -- SHINY...... THE MORE USEFUL, THE MORE VALUABLE.
***
SOMEWHERE- AFTER MUCH DIFFICULTY- I LEARNED THAT BUYING SEARS ROEBUCK GENERIC STUFF WAS FAR BETTER THAN OWNING SOME BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WHICH , WHEN IT BROKE, YOU HAD TO GET THE PARTS FROM GERMANY.
AND IF HUMANS MADE IT , GOD WILL BREAK IT.

NOW TO FILL UP THE TRACTOR WITH DIESEL, AND MAYBE WRITE TANNER A DOCTORS NOTE SO HE
