Picture of
the day!
BUT for now:
There are
standard excuses/reasons for many humans for shortcomings. Example late on the
rent.
1.
I
have been very sick and missed work.
2.
Children have been sick and I missed work and the Dr. cost an arm and
leg. Etc
3.
Insurance was due this week. I will be ready next week
4. Etc
I once
thought I was a landlord, and tried handling two rentals. I learned I wasn’t good at it and decided to sell
and get out of the rental business. I notified the renters that they had 3 months notice. One told me that the other renter had told
her they could live in my places free for 6 months legally before they could be
evicted..
All went well
and They moved before the time was up.
Today I was
talking to the builder who will be building next door. WE had a great time just shooting the breeze,
it has been a long time since I just ‘talked’ to another general contractor.
In the
course of the conversation he mentioned a lady who owed him a lot of money for
a home he had built. She told him she did not have to pay him.
He said he
told her, “That will be ok, but I do want my nails back!”
“Are you crazy?”
she asked. “How in the he— do you expect me to give you the nails back?”
“Oh it will
only take a big magnet!”
“Bull sh--!”
“You know
mam, after a house burns I simply come over and go thru the ashes with my
magnet and a big bucket.”
He said I had
the check the next week.
I had never
heard that one…
In every
life, job, occupation there are a lot of good tales, some embellished, but they
make for a fun visit.
And those
excuses, blames or reason’s lists, Yes they exist because many humans (like our
politicians) MUST BLAME someone or thing for our failures. I am proud when I see some ‘man or woman-up’
and admit their failure is mostly their own fault.
I am sure I have
done my share, but mostly I do know it was MY fault (sometimes my wife LOL) when
I have made a big mistake.

PS. I HOPE you are a happy person and can just
laugh at me…
Of course we all know the USA
needs spiritual help. A couple years ago we met some missionaries from Indonesia
. They flew to the USA to evangelize. That was a first for me.
