Friday Funnies

Hi,
Here we are at the end of another five days. But seven days makes a week, that's why I didn't say 'the end of another week' like I usually do. (Now watch, next week I'll revert)
The second-day clues seemed to have jarred your memories. "Don't Say It's Over" by Crowded, House must be playing in your mind. For the weekend, ponder this line. It's the first half of the chorus by a country artist with many hits:
"__ __ __ you've never let me down, you turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you..."
Well, we went to the bank today, and got incredible, embarrassing, first-class treatment. Hey, we're nice people with what appears to be a lot of money. (5) There were more forms to sign for on-line banking. We don't want to open a bank, we just want to check our balance at home. Oh well, different. When we left the desk of our 'friend', she noticed we were in the process of filing out a withdrawal slip. She jumped up, took the slip and went and got the money. Wow.
Then we rolled out to The Place. It looks totally different with all the dirt spread out and compact. There are still mounds in front of the area where they're working on the wall, but the space is apparent. I'll post some pics. This afternoon, Dee came over with the first computer renderings from the engineer/architect team. Most impressive, to see the transformation of our little pencil drawings. We spent some time going over everything, making changes, adding suggestions, and standing up for what we want in our house. "Oh they can't do that", "you don't want to do that" mean nothing. If they're good, they'll find a way to make it work. That's what I always say. (5) (feels good to say it though)
Boot told us it was time to start packing. She's right. Supat calls her 'Big Mama' because she looks out for everybody and makes sure you're alright. It's interesting, because she's much younger than us, but she is very protective. You won't find us complaining. She told us she wants to go to the airport when we leave. I think it's going to get emotional. She's been a part of our 'family' for almost three months and we've bonded. No one could have foreseen the events that have taken place in our lives.
It's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Warm WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny

A guy comes home completely drunk one night. He lurches through the
door and is met by his scowling wife, who is most definitely not
happy. "Where the hell have you been all night?" she demands.

"At this fantastic new bar," he says. "The Golden Saloon. Everything
there is golden. It's got huge golden doors, a golden floor, the works
- hell, even the urinal's gold!"

The wife still doesn't believe his story, and the next day checks the
phone book, finding a place across town called the Golden Saloon. She
calls up the place to check her husband's story.

"Is this the Golden Saloon?" she asks when the bartender answers the phone.
"Yes it is," bartender answers.
"Do you have huge golden doors?"
"Sure do." "Do you have golden floors?"
"Most certainly do."
"What about golden urinals?"
There's a long pause, then the woman hears the bartender yelling,
"Hey, Duke, I think I got a lead on the guy that pissed in your
saxophone last night!
