Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Fields Mountain Farm]

as a kid when traveling I had 3 pairs of socks and underwear... washed at night in the sink..... 2 pair of pants and maybe 3 shirts.

but for some insane reason that I do not understand. ....

this time I want to look good.. ......successful.

Maybe it is because I am old and unsuccessful. Being young and unsuccessful was fine. .. I had dreams... there was so much that was possible.



I am named after my great-whatever grandfather. He refused to go back to see the relatives until he had enough money to arrive in style. For that time period that meant tails, top hat, and a gold topped cane.

I don't wanna show up in tails... but I wanted to be swank.

What I was going to say, bobbi-j already said!

'Al', we need pictures of you in all of your 'swankness' .

X2

Can ya get a couple of nice shirts? A pair of dressy pants? How long will you be seeing the people you want to impress?

Also, would you please define "successful"? Because to me, being "successful" means more than rolling in money. I think a lot of successful people are truly miserable souls. You live in a beautiful place - I've seen the Homer area and it's one of the most beautiful places I can think of. You have great kids. You are a contributing member of society and have a roof over your head. What more do you need to be successful?

I quoted you so he'd read it again!

Well just stop and rent a tux when you get there . Watching our local weather man . He said he only owned three suits and a closet full of shirts and ties . SOOOOOOOO here's how . No eating in your cloths . So only eat in nude restaurants . Don't sit in your slacks for long periods of time so drive nude . When you get there if you get there your cloths will be neat and clean . And if you don't like nude dress for the beach . Alohas baggies and flops And maybe this won't sound as stupid in a post

You know its when people drive by your house and say what a gaudy display of wealth . And drool over the Rolls Royce in the drive . With the chaffer polishing it . While you enjoy champagne poured by your butler and caviar served by a French maid in one of those hot little costumes .And your on your third younger trophy wife . course this is a mans definition . I'm sure women have a different one .

That is a super cute baby. I love babies.

No eating in your cloths . So only eat in nude restaurants . Don't sit in your slacks for long periods of time so drive nude .

Brilliant! But..... will I get arrested for that? Will I freeze and die? (it is winter... around 36 to 42F)

Spouse says my brand new Carhatts look good on me... yeah... so those will be my every day... gonna go pack now. ... be back ... hopefully. .
