    Andy Deadbeat would be a good name to write down.

    Andy should remember the old line: “Tell the truth, it puts less strain on your memory.”

    Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray said, about 16 hours ago

    “New” things pop out of old songs too. -You can say that again, sister ! Actually, ‘first come first served’ ! -Glad that you do. “Puppy Dog” doesn’t like that I have been busy and me not so much either. She came out this morning at one degree below freezing. I brought her the sweetish squash style with the semi hard garbanzo beans Quinoa keen – wa salad and she strained her head through the fence. I set the bowl down on her side. We started some luvin after and then she had to go down to the corner of the yard to bark at something I couldn’t see. As it was cold, I took that as a cue to exit stage left back to my warm home.-The “task” of finally going through this place is not quite enjoyable but has moments when I know exactly what to do and get on with it.-We used to have that “work experience” thing here. It was called apprenticeship; you worked with experienced pros and learned the craft over some years. You were taught all the ‘ins and outs’ and it wasn’t a rush course. As an apprentice you are paid, just not highly, as you are learning and making mistakes and not as efficient as a more experienced hand. -I keep solvents for the sticky stuff and wear the mechanics gloves for tasks that don’t require the sensitive dexterity that bare fingers afford.-Never guess who I ran into today !….Was at Hazardous Waste and on my way in the door I come face to face with Bob. He is currently making these little wooden boxes from beetle killed pine trees. He had one with him and it looked real spiffy. Tammy forgot to ask him what they are selling for. He said the Hippie Bucks will be at Cannon Mine coffee shop Dec. 6. He will call me with the exact time. I will ask about the pricing as I may get one for my brother Ron to give to Mary Ann and another for Aunt Eileen to give to her grandson Dan, the Recordist and part time musician, for his bride to be. Dad gave Dan Mom’s engagement ring a few years back and now this girl has it, after a little resizing to a bigger finger.-The online stuff can be entertaining as well as helpful too.-I looked and looked and waited and didn’t see you !I have some of the super size band-aids and wrap around non sticky wrap and peroxide you are welcome to. Be happy to help apply it at the moment you need a “third hand”. It pains me to see you suffer. -Sure did !May Finally… find you in good spirits with pleasant things to do.__________________________________________________

    I can’t say I’ve noticed that new things pop out of old songs but maybe I will one day.-Love your sumo wrestler!-I wish I could meet Puppy Dog. It sounds like I’m missing out big time! I nearly got bitten by two little dogs before which I told you about. I could feel them nipping at the back of my legs. The owner apologised. Did Puppy Dog kiss you? I’ve had plenty of dogs trying to kiss me! I’ve had my face licked before. It always makes my day.-I am well aware of what apprenticeships are. I applied for one earlier this year for the Admin Offices at my college and I got an email after a while saying I wasn’t selected after attending the panel interview. The interview went well but there were some points where I wish I could have done better, I was pretty disheartened when I didn’t get it but life goes on. Apparently I met the criteria for the role so that’s something… I think. I want to go into Administration, if not that then Retail or a Receptionist job.-That’s good to know! Nothing worse than dirty, sticky hands.-Was it nice to see Bob again? I can imagine so. How is Eileen doing? Is she still continuing with her dialysis? My neighbour Chris has to be on diaylsis for the rest of his life sadly. The hospital actually has a kidney there which is a match but they are not risking him with another transplant because his body keeps rejecting new kidneys for some reason.-Oh you’re a good un’! Thanks for the plasters. I found out a few years ago that I’m allergic to a certain type of plaster. I had one on my heel after getting a blister and when the plaster was removed it left a big rectangle imprint on my heel which didn’t go away for days,-Well… Here we go…. Happy Finally Friday!

    Don’t forget Pat Keysell who signed for the deaf people..Tony Hart was brilliant..There was another programme with a cartoonist, I can’t remember his name but it looked liked he worked out a lot between drawing strips. He was always shown sat behind a drawing board.

    (Andy Capp comment)Andy would probably have better luck if he went directly to the market and approached a non-professional………………
