Oh yep that Mar-a-Lago.........Toured it before...emmmhummmm. When the other Mrs was living there.......Marla Trump. On the tube of course.......What a place, and its history.......Wow.
Now I thought you might have some real, genuine, cottages around.......
As I sit here looking like a lobster because yesterday I got too much sun. Today I was amuck with number 50 lotion. Of which, I have never in my life used. But, I was bound for the beach and this 80 degree day........Good gosh, that stuff is quite yucky.
I didn't dare get more sunburn on my face so I was with hat, lotion, and a towel to hide in.....
Oh well, sunburn or not........It was a gorgeous day. I loved it..........give me more........please

LOL!! I'm gonna call ya "Red"!!! I'm so used to the sun, I don't burn...just getting a deeper shade of brown....

I don't know of any actual "cottages" for sale, but I thought one of those 11 hovels might interest some folks!! They're just a vulgar display of wealth to me....even if I was a billionaire, I wouldn't want anything like those. My little piece of paradise suits me just fine!! (hold on a second while I instruct the butler, the cook & the maids on their daily chores...)

Isn't it nice now that it's warmed up!!?? JG's in Heaven!! I've been working like a dog in the jungle & it's looking wonderful!! Home Depot had a special on #15 palms, so I got 4 clumping ones to block out instantly my %$#hole neighbor!! Now I'm waiting on my friend the arborist to give me an estimate on taking down the ylang ylang tree that's overhanging the house!!

It's sad...the tree has flowers almost all year & they use the flowers to make Chanel #5...the yard's always perfumed!! But it's looming 50 feet over the house, it's brittle, & if we get a hurricane it'll come through the roof!! I think I'll buy a seedling at the next plant show & put it in the "back 40" so if it ever gets blown apart, it won't harm any structure....

WHOO-HOO!!!!!!! $200.00 to cut down a 50-foot tree, cart it away & grind down the stump!!!!

Pays to know people!!!

[lialleycat]

^^^^WOW! That's a good price to remove the tree!

And I agree with your assessment of those 'cottages' being a vulgar display of wealth. When I become a millionaire or billionaire (power of positive thinking, right - when not if) I just want a small horse farm with a little country house, maybe 5-6 acres and 1400 sq feet on the house. The rest of my money would go towards a foundation in my grandmother's name that would fund environmental education projects.

I am seeing 5 gentlemen every day.
As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

Then I go to see the John.

Then Charlie Horse comes along, & when he is here, he takes
a lot of my time & attention.

When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up & stays the rest of the day.
He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from
joint to joint.

After such a busy day, I'm really tired & glad to go to bed with
Ben Gay. What a life. Oh, yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer!

I am thinking of calling JACK DANIELS or JOHNNY WALKER to come and keep me company.

Now remember:
Life is like a roll of toilet paper...
the closer it gets to the end,
the faster it goes...so have fun,
think good thoughts only,
learn to laugh at yourself,
& count your blessings!!!

Mick, from Dublin, appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds.

"You've done very well so far," said, Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, "but for a million pounds you've only got one lifeline left - phone a friend.

Everything is riding on this question......will you go for it?"

'Sure,' said Mick. 'I'll have a go!'

'Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?'

A: Sparrow

B: Thrush

C: Magpie

D: Cuckoo

I haven't got a clue,' said Mick, 'so I'll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin'. Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.

'Fookin hell, Mick!' cried Paddy. 'Dat's simple......it's a cuckoo.'

'Are you sure?'

'I'm fookin sure.'

Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, ' I'll go wit Cuckoo as me answer.'

'Is that your final answer?' asked Chris 'Dat it is, Sir.'

There was a long - long pause, then the presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won 1 million pounds!'

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.

'Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build it's own nest?

'Because he lives in a Fookin clock'.

We just watched the space shuttle take off from the front street. Thought y'all would like to see.... The "cloud" towards the end is the moon shining on the smoke in the air from the shuttle's exhaust...

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.... .PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking..

I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote..
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember=2 0what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
- the car isn't washed
- the hose is still running
- the bills aren't paid
- there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
- the flowers don't have enough water,
- there is still only 1 check in my check book,
- I can't find the remote,
- I can't find my glasses,
- and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check city-data forums....

Too Funny........ But if its true you'll be in SWBarres corner.....
