It happened at a New York Airport. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you........... A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14". With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too." Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

Good morning everyone and welcome to a new week. We paced ourselves and the painting is over. The cottage will be getting indoor/outdoor carpet in the enclosed porch and new carpet in the living/dining room. The cottage is only 800 sq. ft. upstairs so it wasn't too bad to paint it ourselves as long as we paced ourselves. Four new windows are coming mid-October. Two in the living/dining area and two in the kitchen. Today is a shopping/stitching day and hopefully uneventful. Enjoy your day everyone.

Today is ……………..

(Couldn't resist "borrowing" this one from another website. Spewed coffee because of a couple of them. Open it, it's easier to read. Hope you enjoy.) *As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. * *I’m responsible for what I say, not what you understand. * Common sense is like deodorant.* The people who need it the most never use it. * *My tolerance for idiots is extremely low these days. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there's a new strain out there. * *It’s not my age that bothers me, it’s the side effects. * *I’m not saying I’m old and worn out, but I make sure I’m nowhere near the curb on trash day. * As I watch this generation try and rewrite our history, one thing I'm sure of .. it will be misspelled and have no punctuation. Me, sobbing: "I can't see you anymore ... I'm not going to let you hurt me again." My Trainer: "It was one sit-up.” * As I’ve gotten older, people think I’ve become lazy.* The truth is I’m just being more energy efficient. I haven't gotten anything done today. I've been in the Produce Department trying to open this stupid plastic bag. * *If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. * Turns out that being a "senior" is mostly just googling how to do stuff. * I want to be 18 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas. * God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the world. Then he made the earth round...and laughed and laughed and laughed. * I'm on two diets. I wasn't getting enough food on one. * I put my scale in the bathroom corner and that's where the little liar will stay until it apologizes. * My mind is like an internet browser. At least 19 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no clue where the music is coming from. * Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall, and when it rang, I picked it up without knowing who was calling. * Apparently RSVPing to a wedding invitation "Maybe next time" isn't the correct response. * She says I keep pushing her buttons.* If that were true, I would have found mute by now. * *So you’ve been eating hot dogs and McChickens all your life, but you won’t take the vaccine because you don’t know what’s in it? ** Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass. * *There is no such thing as a grouchy old person.* The truth is, once you get old you stop being polite and start being honest.

A stitcher was asking about these recently. I just came across mine. Even though I’m only using 2 sides on the hoop I remembered that you couldn’t distribute the tightening evenly when 4 sides were on the hoop. I’ll use it because it’s just a little figure for a card and this type of Aida with the silver fleck is hard to obtain and the rectangle hoop is better for fabric saving than the round hoop.

This fruit is claimed to hold spiders away. Need I say more. I just got one in my delivery today and it goes on the window sill over my bed. I had one last year and saw no spiders in my bedroom.

I'm creating pictures from our last vacation photos before Virgil became ill. We traveled our great state of Colorado. I have 4 done and this is the 5th. The Royal Gorge.

Hi, I am working on a stocking and I don't know for sure how to stitch these stitches for the rug. Can anyone help with an explanation on how to stitch it. I have attached a picture. Thanks! Sheri

is today. She would have been 82. I miss her so much, she was a lady to the end. As I pick up my crochet and open her crochet case I miss her even more. She would love the Afghan I am making. Happy birthday mom. 🎂🎈 I love you.

It was when my mum took me to church for the first time. I must have been 4 or 5 and it must have been a High Mass. The sound of the organ absolutely terrified me. It sounded like thunder. I had to be taken out and wouldn’t come back in again. It all came back yesterday and I had to turn the sound nearly off. How odd that it has remained hidden so many years. I thought it was God coming to get me. I’ve never liked loud music and now I know why.😱

Today Is…………..

I use a large knitting pin to keep my hoops together. It looks messy but they’re kept in a box so you don’t see them and they’re all in one place.

You asked me to let you know what I thought about the book The Little Princesses by Marion Crawford and I can tell you that I’m finding it absolutely charming. I hope that you will also enjoy it.
