Thought for Today

[supersparky]

Oh, I get it now.

Carol uses the stick ("supervision", eh Bernie.) and Bernie uses the roller. Dave same for you?

Nup, I flat out refuse to do ceilings anymore. I have already had one shoulder done.

Kids today don’t know how easy they have it.
When I was young I had to walk nine feet through shagpile carpet to change channels.

[Shirley]

Ray, I walked a mile to school no school buses in our day.

[Newcastle George]

I walked to school in bare feet and had to stand on 2 sticks on the asphalt during assembly.

Probably the same two sticks that Dave uses for painting ceilings. You lot were a frugal bunch in the day.

George I'll bet that you chose not to wear shoes.
Jon, I'll also bet that George's stocks were flat. Not those round pole things like broomstick that you screw the roller onto.

Fair point Dave, I think these are them.

I wonder if George was training to be a Geisha.

It's those little steps he takes and smiles. Never an opinion; just a nod of acknowledgement with a flutter of his fan.

[supersparky]

Jon, you are going to be in lots of trouble when George sees that.

[Newcastle George]

Dave, I'm guessing you meant to say sticks not stocks and yes I did choose to go barefoot. Jon, nothing that fancy.

Hah! You lot had it easy!
There were fourteen of us kids living in a pothole in the middle of the road.
We had to lick the hole clean before going to work in t’factory where we worked 26 hours a day for no pay.
