Talking Something to think about when negative people try to rain on your parade LOL

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to
rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who
knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable..

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip
to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

"Rome?
Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.. You're crazy to go
to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser."
That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are
ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's
Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be
something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to
see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours.
You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked
her about her trip to Rome .

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of
Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us
up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome
28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and
now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so
they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't
get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard
tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some
of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room
and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my
hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What'd he say?" asked the hairdresser.

He said: "Who f***ed up your hair?"

Welcome back Texas...hope you had a fun and relaxing time in Austin. Stoy, everything crossed for your second showing. Dogmom, sounds like flying might be a good thing, if your son can handle the dogs on his own.

So, I just steam cleaned the carpets last night and I added lavendar fabric softener into the cleaning solution to help make the house smell clean. It smells very nice, kinda like fresh laundry. Worked out well, because we have a showing tomorrow from 2:45 to 3:15. I'll be at work, so Bob will have to take the dogs out by himself. We have an in-house broker's tour next Thursday, and he'll be alone for that one too. I feel kinda guilty, but if I don't work, I don't get paid.

Hey NJ, any word yet from the Florida buyers' agent? My twins are 24 today!

Oh gals I have to share a laugh with you all, this just happened here. I was sitting in my office just working away when my boy come running in, I turned to see what he was so excited about when all I could see was his head and I swear he was grinnin' ear to ear. He had pulled down the drape in the den and brought it to me!! So I carried it back into the den and climbed up on a chair to put it back while he sat there looking at me, when I hopped down he sat there just so still starring at it and then barked and ran off. didn't think to grab my camera which was sitting right here on my desk dang it..............

Good luck Stoy and FLY DM! Your son can handle things just fine and if you can avoid that long drive, then do it so you'll feel better when you get to your new house.

So, I just steam cleaned the carpets last night and I added lavendar fabric softener into the cleaning solution to help make the house smell clean. It smells very nice, kinda like fresh laundry.

Ummm lavendar just love that smell. Good luck on your showing tomorrow and fingers crossed that it will go well and broker tour won't be necessary!

Hey NJ, any word yet from the Florida buyers' agent? Same here, NJ. Any word yet?

My twins are 24 today!
Ah - wish them happy B-day from us. Where does the time go!
