Winning the lottery is complicated!

I have attempted several times to win a lottery. I play keno, the lotto 649, super7 and a game called Bucko.  Trying to track what numbers will show up. But I am not very skilled at it. It is pretty frustrating.

 

Some people have a knack for numbers. They are lucky people.

 

Does anyone have luck with the lotteries? Are your instincts good or do you have a talent for numbers?

Job Hunting

I have tried a job at a store merchandising. But it is really monotonous work and much harder than it looks to customers . A nightmare job. So I am actively job hunting. Thought about a call centre but that seems to be no better. They want you to work shift work and basically they think that you are a slave to the company.

 

Hope to eventually work for myself. I can't stand working for other people.

Indian Prayer

Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind

    Hear me, for I am young,  small and weak

        I need your strength and wisdom

 

        I seek strength, oh Great One,

    not to be superior to my brothers,

but to conquer my greatest enemy, myself

 

  I seek wisdom, the lessons you have

      hidden in every leak and rock,

so that I may learn and carry those messages

      of life and hope to my people

 

    May my hands always respect

the many beautiful things you have made,

 my ears be sharp to hear your voice.

May I always walk in your beauty

  and let my eyes ever behold

  the red &  purple sunsets

 

 So when life fades, like the setting sun,

 my spirit will come to you without shame.

                  I have spoken.

Letting your plumber down Gently

Here are a couple ways to let your plumber go without hurting his feelings:

 

It's not you, it's me. Say- you recently let another plumber go  and you're just not ready to commit to a

new one.

I need some space. - Tell him you need some "me" time. That's why you're moving to Namibia.

You deserve better. - Tell him he's simply too good of a plumber for you. Try to do it without laughing.

Then call Mr. Rooter.

Should You Dump Your Plumber?

If this sounds like your plumber, then the answer is yes.

 

His idea of a "uniform' is the same sleeveless shirt he wore yesterday.

He shows up at your door at 11:30 a.m. on the dot. His appointment was for 8a.m.

He always remembers to wipe his feet, shortly after entering your home.

After an hour of work he hoists his pants and asks, "How long have those been like that?"

You can't tell what's more disgusting. Your stopped up toilet or the tools he's using to fix it.

Instead of offering you an explanation of the problem he simply tells you."It's big boy stuff."

He conducts a free home inspection, beginning with the contents of your fridge.

The only similarity between his estimate and your final bill is your name at the top.

You work  harder cleaning up the mess he left behind than he did making it.

He ends every job with the comment,"We'll see how long that holds ."

 

If even one of these sounds familiar to you it's time to show that plumber the door and call  Mr. Rooter.

All In A Day's Work

  Life Insurance

A man came to an office and nervously told the receptionist, that me made arrangements with one of the insurance agents to buy some life insurance."I know he's probably started working on it, but I want to cancel the policy," he stated. "May I ask why?" said the receptionist.

"Well to be honest, he replied,"I found another insurance company that sells this package cheaper - but you can tell the agent I died if it'll make him feel better."

Did You Know...

Green Cards:  The "green card" issued to folks who are legally living and working in the United States, but who aren't residents, is actually pink and blue. It went from green to light blue in 1964 and has been other colours since, but the name "green card" has stuck.

Flying Cow

 A five year old boy was sitting down to eat when his mother asked him to pray for his meal. He replied, "Mom we don't have to . We prayed over this last night." His mother had prepared leftovers from the day before.

 

Dear Pastor, I know God loves everybody but He never met my sister. Yours sincerely,  Arnold. Age 8.

Dear Pastor, Please say in your sermon that Peter Peterson has been a good boy all week. I am Peter Peterson. Sincerely, Pete. Age 9.

Dear Pastor, My father should be a minister. Every day he gives us a sermon about something. Robert. Age 11.

Poverty

'...Feeling ashamed when my dad can't get a job'

'...Pretending that you forgot your lunch'

'...Being teased for the way you are dressed'

'...Being afraid to tell your mom you need gym shoes'

'...Hiding your feet so the teacher won't get cross

When you don't have boots'
