The hobo who lives in your garage!!!! How many more do you have hidden about the place? --FLO--

Remember when Mac had a mouse problem?

Now he has a rat problem, the two legged kind.

I do know something about opening up my house to others, my son and his wife, dog and now new baby moved in just over a year ago. They are moving to another trailer in the part next week, I get my house back. I am soooooooo excited. It will just be me, Rupert and Nelly.

That's only in question because you haven't seen Uncle Mackie's place. The first time I visited him, his second comment (after saying "hello") was "Don't worry, there hasn't been a drive-by shooting on this block, yet."

I didn't worry about then, nor on any subsequent visit. If you're ever in the neighborhood, give him a visit....

Ok, those batteries died but Monty found two more. Hopefully I have enough too September 1

There was a time during the Great Depression when hobos were more common and were somewhat respected for their free living lifestyle. If I recall, the hobos of that era had their own language of a sorts and symbols were used to mark streets and houses that were either friendly to them or dangerous.

I need to do a lil research on them.

My grandmother's house was marked. She fed a lot of hobos and as a nurse she would dress wounds. I remember her saying many would do small jobs as thanks.

Yes a "true" hobo is not a bum or a crook he expects to work in exchange for either a meal or a place to stay the night and then he moves on. Dave

When I awoke at 8:00am this morning I thought, "hooray, all my money is in and I can pay bills." It appears only my $300 Social Security check came in. I went to buy basic groceries before paying all my utilities and the ATM bounced.

I called Wells Fargo who informed me my check was devoured by $400 in overdraft fees????. I pleaded for mercy based upon my senility and the fees were cancelled. In addition, the wonderful lady banker said she would redeposit $140 in my account tomorrow.

It seems my SSI comes in on Wednesday. I had told my creditors I'd pay them on Sept 2. Now it looks most will have to wait till September 3.

All's well that ends well.
