I HAD MANY COMMENTS ON THE MEASUREMENT OF TOILET PAPER..... HERE'S ONE DIFFERENT SLANT...
CAROL & CO WRITES
IN REGARDS TO THE TOILET PAPER ROLLS. NOT ONLY ARE THEY NARROWER, THE PAPER TUBE ON THE INSIDE IS BIGGER. ARGGGH!

WHEN DOES DECEIVING THE PUBLIC BECOME A DEMONSTRABLE CRIME? WHEN DOES 14.4 OUNCES BECOME 16 OUNCES?
WHEN DOES 39% INTEREST ON A CREDIT CARD BALANCE =10,000 FREE MILES..? WHEN DOES THE PRINT BECOME SO SMALL THAT IT COULD BE CONCEIVED AS ILLEGAL????
OR MY FAVORITE... WHEN DOES "RATE OF INCREASE IS GOING DOWN" BE ALLOWED TO POINT OUT THAT THE STATEMENT MEANS WHATEVER THE TOPIC, THE STUFF IS STILL GOING UP..
THESE INDIVIDUAL WORDS FREE AND DOWN ARE IN THOSE CASES JUST USED TO DISTRACT FROM WHAT THE REAL TRUTH IS... ?LAZY MIND? OT TOO BUSY TREADING WATER TO BE ABLE TO DECIPHER WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING.... OR BY MY AGE.. JUST PLAIN PARANOID !!!
***
I DO FIGHT IT... ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE- ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE - LATCH ON TO THE AFFIRMATIVE ( AN OLD SONG ABOUT NOT MESSING WITH MR. IN-BETWEEN.)

LIKE.....HERE WE GO.... I HAVE BEEN CARRYING LIFE SAVERS IN MY CAR- FOR MAYBE A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE FOUND #1. THEY HAVE TO BE IN A TIN BOX BECAUSE TEH SQUIRRELS LOVE THEM AND #2.. WHEN I STICK MY HAND OUT THE WINDOW TO OFFER A ROLL OF THEM TO A COP STANDING DIRECTING TRAFFIC , HE TAKES IT.. AND IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR HIS GRIM FACIAL EXPRESSION HAS TURNED TO SMILING #3 EVERYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME HAS BEEN UPLIFTED AND IS SMILING TOO.
SOOOOOO.......THERE ARE PIECES TO THIS NEXT IDEA...---
THESE PEOPLE TO WHOM WE DONATE DOGS ... WE ALWAYS TRY AND GIVE THEM TO PEOPLE WHO ARE... OR COULD BE.. OUT IN THE COMMUNITY SOMEHOW...- IT IS A FACT THAT WALKING THRU A NURSING HOME WITH ONE OF OUR DOGS, PAST TEH NURSING STAFF (WHO ARE DEALING WITH DOWNERS SO MUCH OF THE TIME,) CAUSES THEM TO LOOK UP AT THE DOGS AND SMILE. IF .. NOT SAYING ANYTHING WE JUST HANDED OUT A ROLL OF LIFE SAVERS IT WOULD LIFT THAT ATMOSPHERE UP A NOTCH... PLUS... SO MANY OF "OUR" RECIPIENTS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING BACK INTO CIRCULATION-- CERTAINLY THE DOGS HELP BY DIRECTING ATTENTION TO THE DOGS AND NOT THE INFIRMITIES OF THE PERSON. SO LETS GO ONE STEP FURTHER... HOW ABOUT SUGGESTING ANYONE WITH OUR DOGS GIVE AWAY AT LEAST 5 ROLLS OF LIFE SAVERS A MONTH... CARRY ONE IN THOSE POUCHES ON THE HARNESS AND WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE DOING A DULL AND BORING JOB, JUST HAND ONE OUT... AND DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING..
99.7% OF THE PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT... I SUPPOSE THERE COULD BE 00.3% WHO MIGHT EXPLODE AND CALL YOU #$%^&*&^%$# IDIOT...
BUT THAT IS NEVER A CHANCE NOT TO DO GOOD.
***
NEVER... NOT... TWO NEGATIVES - A POSITIVE... I BET MOST NEVER THOUGHT ALGEBRA WOULD BE USEFUL IN NORMAL LIFE.. AS IN -2 X -13= +26
OK.... SO YOU ARE IN A COURTROOM AND A LAWYER IS CROSS EXAMINING YOU "TELL ME- DID YOU NOT SEE THERE WERE NO WARNING FLAGS TO LET YOU NOT BE ALARMED AT THE LACK OF AN ONCOMING TRAIN?" WHAAAAAT?
A QUESTION LIKE THAT WAS ASKED OF ME WHEN I WAS AN EXPERT WITNESS ABOUT AN ANIMAL CASE, AND I TURNED TO THE JUDGE AND SAID " TOO MANY NEGATIVES WOULD YOU ASK THE LAWYER TO REPHRASE TEH QUESTION WITH NO MORE THAN ONE NEGATIVE" AND HE DID...
I DO HEAR DOUBLE AND TRIPLE NEGATIVES USED DAILY IN POLITICAL STATEMENTS AND ... ADVERTISING... THEI MINUTE IT STARTS I SHUT DOWN AND FIGURE WHTEVER THEY ARE SELLING IS NOTHING I WANT. ( ONE NEGATIVE.)
****
FYI...HERE'S A GOOD ONE .. NEW TO ME...--- WE HAD AN OLD METAL OBJECT-- WHIC WE NEEDED TO GET CLEANED UP... SO I ASKED DONNA... WHO WENT AND GOT KETCHUP AND STARTED RUBBING AWAY-- TO MY AMAZEMENT ... IT DID LOOK BETTER-- I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHY-- THE ACID? AND IT DID NEED WASHING OFF AFTERWARDS-- BUT IT CLEANED THE MOLDDY GRUCKY THING
BET YOU NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE !!

THUS ENDETH THE LESSON OF THE DAY.
2018 DOG FEST- DECISIONS ---2017 WAS SAID TO BE THE BEST EVER -- WE--- A BUNCH OF OUR "DOGFEST STAFF" MET FOR DINNER.. DON'T LET ANYONE CONVINCE YOU THAT SDP( LIKE THE ARMY...) .DOESN'T MOVE ON IT'S BELLY-- OFFER TO FEED OUR BUNCH AND EVERYONE SHOWS UP...
THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT/ TOO MUCH FOOD ON SATURDAY ( THAT'S A COMPLAINT?)- THE FOOD WAS GREAT. ---PAM-- WHO OUTDOES HERSELF IN SO MANY WAYS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH FARM FRESH EGGS FOR BREAKFAST WHICH RAN INTO THE ARRRIVAOL OF THE LUNCH TRUCK.. WHICH WE JUST GOT OUT THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE LOBSTER TRUCK ARRIVED...NEXT YEAR WE MIGHT GO WITH JUST JIM AND HIS FOOD TRUCK..( AND PAM'S EGGS) --MAYBE ADD TEH FIREBUILDING/CORN COOKING POT CREW FOR ENTERTAINMENT ON SAT AFTERNOON....--- WE DECIDED TO INSTALL BLACK SHIRTS WITH "STAFF" FRONT ADN BACK... SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION ABOUT WHO IS IN CHARGE OF WHAT... OR WHO.--
THERE WAS MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT PUTTING OUT A SCHEDULE... AFTER MY "ABSOLUTELY NO" ... WE MIGHTBE ABLE TO HAVE A WHITE BOARD OF POSSIBLE HAPPENINGS...MY PROBLEM IS... THIS IS A DO IT YOURSELF WEEKEND.. AND IF YOU ARE UP AND AROUND YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING--- THERE IS A CONCEPT I FIGHT "I WILL JUST SIT IN MY CAR TIL 3:OO WHEN WE ARE SUPPPOSED TO GET PICTURES TAKEN" NO.. THIS WEEKEND IS TO EXPERIENCE THE THINGS WE DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS- AND HANGING AROUND IN GROUPS WHILE DOING SOMETHING IS WHAT IT SI ABOUT.. LIK TEH WAXING OF THE TRACTOR... GOOD EXAMPLE... I ALWAYS FIGHT THE TENT IDEA... BECAUSE IF THE WEATHER IS ALL THAT BAD.. WE ALREADY HAVE THE ARENA... AND WE HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO CAN MOVE CHAIRS ETC INTO IT. THIS IS NOT A SPA WHERE YOU GET WAITED ON... BOTH DOG FEST OR OTHER WEEKEND VISITS...
THE HOTEL... IN AN EFFORT TO CUT TH E PARKING - WHICH WAS "CREATIVE" WE DISCUSSED A SMALL SCHOOL BUS -- IT IS A SHAME FOR PEOPLE TO RENT CARS WHICH JUST SIT FOR 2 DAYS. THE LOGISTICS NEEDS WORK BUT WE NEED TO GET PAST CARPOOLING IF WE CAN.-AS FOR TEH MIRAID OF OTHER DETAILS REGARDING DOGFEST, WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND EASIER TO HAVE ALL THE DETAILS BE HANDLED BY OUR IPSWICH OFFICE. TINA HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN THE PAST, BUT TO HAVE ALOT OF THE STATISTICS I NEED TO KNOW IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE IS TOO STRESSFUL FOR ME AND TINA HAS NOT ONLY OUR HARNESS BUSINESS, BUT THE DONKEYS TO KEEP STRAIGHT- SO PLEASE- ALL DETAILS TO IPSWICH. AS FOR THE DATES... WE DECIDED OCTOBER 13 ,14 AND THE HOTEL HAS GIVEN US THE $145 RATE FOR FRIDAY THRU MONDAY NIGHTS.

NOW TO ASK LIFESAVORS FOR A PALLET -- OR A GRANT????
