Curtain Rods; from Heather another great goodie... too cute~~~!!! Revenge is sometimes... AWESOME!!
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates, and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third , she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to stink. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to m ove out for a few days.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local Realtors refused to return their calls.
Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.
The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea of how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had
been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including
......... the curtain rods.
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING. DON'T YOU??????

Today ...
Not a lot going on this week. I been building web sites... one for Music Industry University, one for Pickens Auctions, started one for Gregg Pickens Real Estate, and working on a new one for Flatland Entertainment, plus keeping up with my PCL. Long days sometimes, haha... I hear that Heather is really getting uncomfortable, with Madison Ann about to be born. Her and Paul checked in at Stilwater Medical Center and did all the paperwork. I hear that Paul bought Madison a couple of outfits to wear to the Fair this summer, haha... Tammy stopped by and borrowed the camera to take some more pics of her kiddos at school. She is working on a really neat thingy for presentation at school for her kiddos using powerpoint presentation with a really neat new song that just came out as the background music. Austyn was in Grandma's candy jar.. haha...
Our neighbor, our family mechanic, dropped by and picked up the pieces to the Case tractor at Phillips that has had the front end broken off of it since last October. Maybe we are a step closer to getting it fixed, we will see... haha..
Jake has been helping Fred Shultz on his ranch. They are AI'ing one group of cows next week so they been cycling them, getting them ready, selling show calves and bulls, and his boss had knee surgery so he has been extra busy there, plus they are getting another set of cows ready to put embroye another group. This is one of the highest tech ranches in OK. They, Fred and Jake, are eagerly awaiting their first clones, that are supposed to be here and ready to implant after the first of the year. This will make them the first in OK to implant cloned cattle.
Phil has been working hard at his new job. He said they are getting a new round of computers, and he is really excited, as the old ones were really dated and slow and hard to see. He is gardening, and making pottery, and ... a bunch of other things, too. I will share that I recieved the rest of my birthday gifts from him, but will wait till I get my camera and take pics to show you how really awesome the gift was!!
Ann is busy mowing our yard this am. Jake and I got her an early Mother's Day present, a new push mower for the yard.. and her.. haha!! I had a dentist appoinment this am, and if you know me, you know I dislike dentist. But I have a new crown, and go back for more work starting next week, yuck!!! I did wash Ann's car, and did some maintaince work on it. And that is something when I do that!!!
Grandma is getting a new Angus Bull from Alpha Angus south of Perkins. They raise AI Angus, registered, and raise them on grass, so what you see is what you get! No fancy hair cuts, or extra fat from feedlots here! I think we pick him up in the am, or MK and her, not sure who.
Jonathan and Randi, and Kaitlyn are coming up tomorrow to visit and bring up some of their Easter pictures for us, so I bet we try to get all the kiddos together for either lunch or dinner tomorrow, that will be so cool!!
Love my kiddos!!
Paul was chasing a "bad guy" who tried to stab another person, and the bad guy jumped over a bridge, and Paul chased after him, and hurt his knee... Paul won of course. You can not out run the Stillwater Police Officers!! He is also playing baseball for the first time ever on the Stillwater Police Dept. team. Heather and Andrew go and watch, and say they are having a ball. Andrew has made friends and all is well! They raise goats too, and have a round of babies due when Heather is due!!
Not sure what else to report, all is well and good, and if it would just rain, we'd have it made!
Have a great day... remember to stop and smell the roses!

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?

Lil' Sis wins BIG award ......
Lil' Sis, with Kaitlyn...
Posted by me. Please, click on image to enlarge.
Yelp, Marilyn won a BIG woodie last week from her place of employment for the last oh, 20, 30, plus years of work! The Center for Veterinary Sciences held their Annual Awards Banquet April 8, 2005. Marilyn Kay won the Stratton Staff Award which involves money and award. The award is named after Dr. Louie Stratton, one of the vets who were among the first to come to our dairy when we moved to Stillwater, and he was a life long friend. Just wanted all to know... and yelp, we are all proud of her and her many accomplishments!
