Unplug things and turn that breaker off and on a few times.

If it's damp stand on a sheep.

I once done just this. Ended up with first to second degree burns on left hand. (Do not believe others, when they say that everything is switched off, check yourself).

It's so cold inside my house, I'm learning to type on my keyboard with gloves on, not easy but possible

Until I can afford to get it fixed, I can use an extension cord to get heat for my bedroom and I used alternative plugs in my den to get a working light and my mini-heater working. The light in the bathroom I can do without for a while.

The problem wasn't my circuit breaker, it was my electric company. All my lights and wall sockets are working

When my power went out again in select rooms, I called Edison. Their tech found my problem and remedied it; it was a loose breaker.

See, I need to live next door to a Red "fix-it man" Nun.

Well, I guess blowing a breaker is better than "blowing a seal"

I love that old joke

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Monday is the day I fork out my dollars to pay my electricity, gas, cable, Internet and water bills.

I bet you're careful to get any ice cream out of that beard.

I think "Bear Hunting" is my favorite.

The one disadvantage to a long beard is that it serves both as a soup strainer and a food catcher. I also find the need now and then to pry whiskers out of what I'm eating. Need I say more

I wish I could afford a better attorney. My house guests are becoming unbearable.

• They keep late hours hence my front door is often unlocked.

• They invite people in my house without asking and often have them overnight in their front bedroom.

• They invite people in my house with whom I've had trouble with in the past.

• Since they've been here, I've lost a garage, had two broken windows, two bathroom doors which no longer lock, and a back door which is constantly broken into by Monty late at night.

Filing eviction papers could take months or so I've heard. Waiting for those months would mean undue mental hardship on me from them.

Is there an easier way out?
