Gay Olympics Are Here in Cleveland
WIPPEE & WHOOPEE
A few
races are scheduled one is the Run
for Your
Life.
Participants line up on the
border of Cleveland and have to run a course through East Cleveland
and back after that is drag racing.
There is at least one event change, the
arm wrestling competition has been canceled due to limp wrist.
Breaking news in case you haven't
heard..... a cease fire has been declared in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians need to gather more rocks and Israel had to run to
Walmart for more bullets.
Latest breaking news.... both sides
Israel and the Palestinians are now rearmed and ready to resume round
50.
License needed to sanitize?
Talk about a government that has lost
touch with reality and that would be the US's. I opened a booth at
the Painesville Antique Co Op. I brought in to sell an upholstered
chair. The manager saw it and said you need to get that sanitized
before you can place it here, for a chair that size it would be $25.
He handed me a price list for the cost of spraying everything from
stuffed toys to bedding.
I was only asking $25.00 for the chair
so why even bother. Needless to say I was not happy at all. He asked
how old is that chair? I said it has to go back to the early 60's. He
said in that case it is exempt because anything 50 years or older
doesn't need to be sprayed.
Think about this.... if I would have
brought this chair in last year it would have been only 49 years old
and would of needed to be sprayed but one year later it doesn't. If
that isn't bad enough in order to disinfect items you need to get
licensed to perform the service and it is quite expensive and needs
to be renewed periodically. I watched the co op spray a couch and the
sprayer used is no different that an average garden sprayer. The
person applying it had on regular clothes, no special gear.
Now you know why all those red tags at
second hand stores.
Another co op story.
People are so simple. I had a green
glass liquor decanter with three glasses, originally there were four
but one broke. I priced it accordingly but it sat for months. I
thought about it and said to myself I will remove one glass and see
what happens. The set sold within a week and I didn't even change the
price. In my thinking - a nice decanter with two glasses and an
extra one if one should break but in most people's minds its an odd
set with one missing.
No wholesale
A friend owns a
food trailer that he sets up at festivals and special events. He was
looking for a new sausage provider. He went to a local butcher
because he likes their product. The butcher told him I can not sell
large quantities, only retail not wholesale because of regulations, I
would have to comply with all sorts rules.
So the food vendor can't sell what he
likes and the butcher can't expand his business unless at a heavy
cost so he could comply to our governments rules.
No tellers
Fifth Third bank
in Wickliffe has got rid of all their tellers, all they have now is
ATM's.
Also underway is a
push to go paperless and do your banking online. When I was offered
that service I told my teller I won't do that I am protecting your
job.
I understand that
using online banking is a Godsend for the elderly and those who are
homebound but if the computers are hacked where is your paper trail
to prove your worth? Or is this exactly why they want us to go
paperless to get rid of currency and use strictly debits which so
many of us already use? Like John in Barberton said is this a way for
them to make us all equal, one press of the button all your records
are erased and everyone is worth the same, nothing.
Economic Rebound
The economy has
picked up. For those in the Cleveland area it is not because LeBron
is back. The reasons are the price of oil has fallen, there is
gridlock in Washington with both sides fighting each other and also
most of our elected criminals I mean politicians are on best behavior
because it is election year. Sorry to sound so boo hiss but I see
this as fools gold - I do hope I'm wrong.
Garbage Nonsense
I am so tired of the rules that keep
changing concerning trash pick up that I have been pushing more
things into the street that trash collectors refuse to pick up out of
frustration.
For instance a painted dresser will be
picked up but a can of paint won't. A large dresser will be picked
up but a large branch or pieces of wood won't. So I figured a way
around this. If I have a can of paint I no longer need I just open it
and pour it on top of paper cardboard or whatever then wrap it up and
toss it and the can away. If they say anything I will just say it is
an art project gone wrong.
As for the wood it has to be a certain
length but if I put the long pieces of wood in my yellow yard waste
container they will get picked up. It doesn't matter how much is
sticking out of the trash container they will pick it up. Maybe
someone can explain this nonsense.
Next posting I will share the epiphany
