Welcome to my world

I wish I could say that stuff like this is not common. In fact, it is a somewhat common part of my world. What is "amusing" is when people call and criticize but do it couched in spiritual language or, almost as bad, in the midst of a complement (when you know that they called not to complement you but to criticize.)

As bad as this stuff is as a phone message (and yes, I have gotten several calls very similar to this), it's worse as an email. I think email is cowardly and should be outlawed as a means of serious communication.

But that is just me.

Does your partner even want to?

Is your breath fresh?

Then you lean in and just go for it!

Love Thy Neighbor

City councilman, Mark Easton, lives in a neighborhood in Utah surrounded by mountains. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains...until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built, thus obstucting Mark's view.

Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance. Mark and his new neighbor had some great arguments about this, as you can imagine — not great feelings. The new neighbor had to drop the roof line — no doubt at great expense.

Recently, Mark called the city and informed them that his new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate. When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they found...
