But if you win the car, you can deduct the cost of the ticket(s) to purchase the car when you get the bill for taxes due on your winnings! Our neighbor was astonished to learn that the state of Texas wanted her tax id so that she could be issued a 1099 and pay her income tax at the end of the year. She was on Medicaid and had not planned on declaring it....oops.

Got to share this letter in today's paper. Apparently there's been discussion about 'wandering hands' on crowded trains going on...

"Sir - ... I remember, as a young woman, being groped on London Underground trains back in the Sixties and Seventies.

I remember, too, the problem of being unsure who the perpetrator might be, due to being packed into a crowded carriage. On one occasion I worked out who I thought was to blame and gave him a hefty shove out of the door and on to the platform at the next station.

I still wonder if I got the right man."

- Monica Whitaker, Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire.

Oh I hope she didn't...

CM My late MIL used to carry one of those very long hat pins when she was a young woman traveling to work on the Tube. Heaven help any man that groped MIL! She'd keep it in her pocket and just stick them through the fabric

When my mom and her BF used to ride the street cars as teens they quickly learned not to sit in the row with a space behind it
Seems the backrest was the perfect resting spot for men to lay their wienie between their shoulders

"If you truly want to do that, just make a straightforward donation" said CWillie.
Good idea!

If playing the lottery is gambling, and you truly want to gamble, just lay your money
straightforward on the tables in Vegas, stay in a four star hotel like the MGM Grand, retire to your comped suite with a jacuzzi, have breakfast by room service or go down to the restaurant and have a great breakfast while playing Keno from your table. I guarantee you 'friends and family' who will make the trip with you because you are paying. The business trip and gambling losses are tax deductible. imo. lol. You can also buy a lotto ticket there....

Send,
Nothing like a big Vegas breakfast and keno -
mom and I would play the 4-spot ticket - month, day, year of birth and current age - we won $360 several times on a $2 bet
of course she had to hold her age at 80 since that was the highest number on the board - lol

msmadge, what a terrible image! surely other people noticed such a thing happening? i saw a video recently of a woman slapping a man and publically shaming him on a crowded bus as when it suddenly stopped sharply, he uncontrolably brushed against her, just like the person behind him and so on in the crush. He then calmly moved infront of her, and sure enough when the bus stopped sharply again she uncontrolably brushed against him, so he gave her a slap! not that im saying its ok for anyone to slap anyone, it was just good to see some equal standards shown!

For the Christmas lunch story - I think the son has extenuating circumstances. There are times - one more "that's not how you do it!......" and I have to run outside and scream.

The best recess of my life was in the fifth grade when 3 of us were kept inside ,missing our recess because we had acted up in class and we got into more trouble.We broke the teacher's plant and gave a boy a tootsie roll to take down his pants....it was great~

Gosh you were bad Luckily. I dread to think what would happen to you these days. They would probably expel you.
When I was about three the district nurse/midwife came to check on us. She was basically the only medical help we had in the days before the NHS. I picked up a hoe and hit her on the forehead. She was very nice about it but soon retired!

My next one was a boy who put his hand over my mouth probably about kindergarten age.
I bit him so hard I broke the skin and drew blood. That finger tasted nasty.

The next victim as the school dentist. I refused to open my mouth for a filling and I bit his finger. I did not get my filling! In those days you sat in a regular high backed wood chair with your head pushed back over the back. There was no local anesthetic and his drill was foot powered. I think I was about 7. Did not get punished. I guess the teachers sympathized with refusing such torture

It would have been so much fun playing with you Veronica and SharynMarie...Did you ever have to stand on your toes with your nose pressed to the blackboard in a circle the teacher had drawn? or have your desk moved next to the teacher's desk for talking or laughing in class?

Lol!! Luckylu, in 3rd grade I spent a lot of time being sent out to stand in the hall for talking. In 6 th grade a friend and I were paddled for cursing in Spanish. Crazy times!! You remember those pull string poppers they use to sell. Pull the string, it pops with streamers and confetti coming out? I would tape them under the lid to the classroom piano keys so during music period, when the teacher opened the lid to play, pop!!

Post war teachers were all older women and you were too afraid to cross those Amazons. There was a rather well endowed cafeteria worker. I remember telling my whole table that the things on Mrs X chest were called Boosoms.

Never had my desk moved, they were doubles and bolted to the floor. We used pens and had inkwells built into the desk. If you had long hair and were unfortunate enough to have a boy in the desk behind you he would try and dip your braids in the ink well. We all pulled our braids to the front as soon as we sat down, The classrooms were heated with big potbellied coal stoves. No guards around them but I never remember anyone getting burned.
When I started my general nursing training the hospital was in a cruciform shape and so were the 25 bed wards. There was big structure in the center and on three sides there were separate coal fires and on the third side lived the drug cupboard.
Drugs were supplied in large bottles and the nurses just removed them to a bed table and pushed it round the ward dispensing whatever was listed on the chart at the end of the patient's bed. The only records kept were of the narcotics which were all in glass vials and given by injection. The top of the vial had to be broken off to draw the drug into the syringe. The syringes and needles were used multiple times and sterilized by boiling. The needles got pretty blunt by the end of the week when new ones were issued. Those were the days.

Veronica, I wouldn't want that injection by the end of the week. Was this before they knew about hepatitis and needles?!

Sounds like I was in good company. I was always getting into trouble in elementary school for laughing too much and making others laugh. I had my desk pulled away from the other desks all the time and I had to stand in the hall too.

One time I had to stay after class for chasing boys and also for standing on the toilet seat in the girl's washroom. LOL.

I even got into trouble at a job when I was in my twenties. It was a hoity toity place and the boss pulled me into the boardroom one time and said one of the clients had complained cause all he could hear was me laughing all the time.

Not exactly caregivers behaving badly but good for a laugh!
Two old ladies were out for a drive in a big old car and could hardly see over the dash board
They came to a red and the driver drove straight through as she did with the second one.The passenger noticed it and thought she might be loosing it so decided to pay close attention at the next set of lights. Sure enough they were red and her friend again did not stop. "Mildred" the passenger said "did you realize you just drove through three red lights?" "Oh" Mildred replied. "Am I driving?"

Good reason to take away those keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should hold off until everyone else has let their bad out?
I know if you don't let some stuff out along the way, the bad that could happen intensifies.

Be back after checking out when the next full moon occurs.

Ms.Madge mentioned chiro rebound, not sure what that is. But after feeling so much better, I awake to feeling like my ankle is broken again! They did not touch my ankle.
But I was walking without limping for 3 days now, pain is better!
