Hi y'all im skip yous donts be strangers now ya hears

Irish, since you know that your "joking" is often taken seriously by mistake, it might be a good idea if you would try to indicate in some way that what you've said IS a joke. Like adding "LOL" or a "smiley" after your comment.
I have too often made the mistake of taking you seriously and would really like to know when you're kidding so I don't do it again. Thanks, dear!;)

welcome to Pixies everyone :)

Yeah. Welcome everyone! ;)

Yesterday;was not a good day for me!Starting;with a phone call;
from my daughter;at 9:00AM;To inform me that her fiances;oldest
son;had been killed;in a car accident.I was already overtired;from getting a call;at 2:15AM;the morning before;saying that;my 89yr
old mother;had fallen;in the rest home and was taken;to the
emergency room.I went there.I am the only one here.My wife is;
on vacation;in Salt Lake;Las Vegas;and Yellowstone.Yesterday;
I went to a meeting;at the rest home.As of Oct !st;my mothers
rent is being increased;by approx.$1300/1400 a mo.It seems that;the residents;miserably;failed;the last fire drill.Because of
improvments;mandated;by the state;the owner;is FORCED to
increase;the residents rent.When;I had;my motorcycle business;
the state mandated;that I had to install;a customers bathroom.
I didn't;pass;my cost;on to the customers;because that was my
problem;not theirs!If;I said anything that people;took wrong;I'm
sorry!Yesterday was more than I'm used to handleing! Irish
P.S.My mother;already pays $1000s a mo;I don't think that it is
right for the owner;to pass;his increases on!Every business;has it's;unexpected;costs.

Irish dear,
I certainly understand having a bad day...and I apologize if I was short with you.

But you know as well as I do that quite often your jokes are misunderstood. I'm probably one of the more guilty of taking your comments the wrong way. I really would help prevent such misunderstandings if you could try to be a bit more "obvious" by adding a smiley or a "LOL". After all without being able to hear the inflection in your voice or see the expression on your face it's hard to know if you're kidding or not.:) :heart: I'm only trying to help, hon.

I don't know about the States rules and regulations but in Canada event the privately owned senior residences have to answer to the goverment to justify such a large increase.....isn't there a "watchdog" agency or organization that you could contact to see if such a huge increase is allowed.

I would investigate this.......sounds like a money grab to me. If nothing else write to the editorial page of the newspaper with your thoughts and get the old pot stirred.....

Bad publicity can work wonders sometimes!!!

:eek:
Now that’s a scary thought.;)


But I like the way BIBI thinks:). This may be a very good thing to look into Irish.:cool:

BIBI---I know nothing of the rules or finances.My wife and I;decided long ago;that Two hands;in the pot;Screw things up!
She handles the finances.We have been married for 37yrs;and have things worked out fairly well.We each have our;designated;
responsiblities.Thank You;but believe me;I don't take any shit;
from anyone!An old saying is that you can't fight City Hall.I have
and won.My motto has always been that the squeaky hinge;gets
the oil. Irish

Been here for a while.............My name is actually Nicole and I'm studying at University here in Western Australia. I'm into sport and shopping.......hehehe.......amongst other things.....
