Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 Hi Nils, Just wanted to let you know how hard I laughed reading your paint story.....I needed that laugh today. The other day my husband painted the railing that leads down our basement stairs, he carefully hung wet paint signs at the top and bottom of the stairs, and even on the basement door.....he cleaned his brushes put them away, started up the stairs, and grabbed the rail as he was climbing up! Out came the brushes and paint again and he had to do it over.....that gave me a good chuckle too, but your story is much better. Your writing reminds me of a columnist we have here in the states, his name is Dave Barry....do a websearch on him and read some of his work and let me know if you agree. By the way, what breed of dog is your African dog? Here in the Eastern part of the US we are experiencing a terrible heat wave, temperatures over 100 degrees, breaking records, heat index (whatever that is?) registering 115 degrees, I don't know what that equates to in centigrade....but believe me, we are HOT! Power companies are cutting back their services as they cannot handle the increased electrical usage....I am starting to wonder if there is really something to that " Global Warming theory. " Hope you are well, thanks so much for your humor. Hugs, Marta in NJ (Some call it the armpit of the U.S., but not me) --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at a map of Massachusetts, you'll see the " arm " that is refered to as Cape Cod. If you look for the " armpit " of the " arm " , you'll find New Bedford. We refer to ourselves as the " armpit of the country " , LOLOL. Guess there are lots more armpits out there than I thouhgt!!!!

Nils Stalbrand F 78410 Aubergenville France it's raining, hot and sticky and my very very old african dog does not like it at all. >> My God, Nils. That was one of the best readings I've seen. I own a construction company and you described events, not only in proper chronoligical order, LOL, but also the results we have seen when " artist " call us to help repair their " artistic results " . What a great change from all the pain and suffering. Thanks Nils, for taking me away from reality for quite a bit. Let me know if you need help constructing the new home. PS. The cost goes up if we have to repair home owners artistic attempts, LOLOL. New Bedford, MA www.rehabpainting.com I told you we owned a construction company, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
