***********************************
It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus.
Ms. S and Mr. D, who live catty-corner from Carl's place, have me come there every other week.
They really do make each other laugh, and it's fun to watch.
Ms. S does the budgeting, and she makes sure they each get a certain amount each month of what she calls "sin money" to spend on whatever each wants.
She spends hers on card making supplies and other crafting things, but the majority goes to saving up to make a big trip each summer to visit Son/Grands/Great-Grands and some fun stuff for the littles.
Mr. D spends his on fine cigars and a once-a-week trip to the casino.
One day while i was there, Mr. D didn't want to go to the casino, he wanted to wait until the next day, but he wanted to smoke his cigars.
The conversation about it went like this:
Mr. D: Do you think it's too hot to sit out and smoke a cigar?
Ms. S: It's up to you.
Mr. D: (to me) What would you do?
mimi: I wouldn't smoke!
Ms. S: You go, mimi!
Mr. D: Do you want to go to Home Depot or should I go smoke?
Ms. S: Oh, just go smoke.
Mr. D: No! ... Well, since you insist.
Mr. D walks out, and ten seconds later Mr. D walks back in.
Mr. D: Never mind, it's too hot. Let's go to Home Depot.
Ms. S: I don't want to.
Mr. D: I thought you wanted something from there?
Ms. S: You can go get it!
I'm getting more in the habit of watching all my other clients for the funny things they do/say. It's working!
How about some funnies.
Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, everyone!
