My Halloween Story....


A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears:


BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.


BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER...
FASTER..
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.


clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...

On his heels, as the terrified man runs......Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.....Bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...


(and hopefully you are ready for this)


The coffin stops!!!!

Tonight I am going to climb into my claw foot tub and take a nice hot bubble bath....much like the above picture....the only thing that will be missing will be the little cat.....

My poor body is aching and I am hoping a nice hot soak will ease my pain. My arthritis is increasingly becoming a problem.......I refuse to see a doctor and have been trying my best to address the issue on my own. Tylenol is my choice a pain relief....that or a glass of wine!!

I believe my issues date way back to the day I was struck by that car going 60-65mph....but maybe its because I am getting old!! Add that to the fact that it seems my choice of work is nothing but physical....lots of lifting and moving things around. Well, at any rate...it is what it is and I know I can get through all of this annoying pain just by relaxing in a nice hot tub!!

Today I cleaned house and I am smelling like Pine-sol. I clean a friend's 6000 square foot house every two weeks and I can not tell you how tired I am by the end of the day!

Nothing smells cleaner than Pine-sol. Not the flowery fragrance....the original, good ole smell....it's the best.

A few weeks ago my neighbor, Nimia, was cleaning her big house and she was using Pine-sol for her cleaning chore. Her house is HUGE and she was tossing out buckets of used Pine-sol water between our houses. My windows were open and all that cleaning smell filtrated into my little bunglow. My house smelled as if I had spent all day cleaning. Needless to say I thanked Nimia for making my house smell so clean. It smelled like I cleaned and I didn't lift a hand!!
