Any one of us could be the plumber. You only need to know two things: 1. Pay day is Friday. 2. Shit doesn’t run uphill. ~old electricion’s joke * * * New and Improved Enright3 ---

I work for a tile/wood floor company. I could draw out any tile design you wanted. Heck, I could even get niftly little tile patterns waterjet cut. Just don’t ask me to get away from my computer. ---

OK Since no one has volunteered and Dem is whistling: I can put on a miniskirt and heels, a lowcut T-shirt and a smile and strut on by. Nothing like a cat call to brighten a girls day. * * * Any similarity between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. ---

I have just the shirt to wear, too. \ * * * You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life. L.L. ---

Looks like he’s gonna have one hell of a roof! My hubby has been a roofer for five years, and I have known the people who own the company all my life. He works for the #1 roofing co. in the Ia.-Ill. area. Great job, but a hot one in the middle of the summer. No drinking on the job. Although we do have those fly-by nite peoples around here that I cannot vouch for. So I do see what Shirley was saying, I just wanted you to know that I am offering up one of the good guys here. Not just because he is my husband either, I would offer up any of the other guys in the company also. I myself can do ground crew for roofing clean up, dry-wall, painting, wall paper, my brother-in law does floors, and my husband can also do siding if nobody else comes forward. I am also available to be whistled at, or distracting nosey neighbors or meddling home-owners. Anybody have any nice stories about homeowners who like to tell you how to do your job? My SO has dozens! * * * ## Mistress Kricket Are you stuck on stupid? ---

I can be the pipefitter(duh, look at the name), I can screw my pipes into female connections real good. But seriously, I think all sparkies('tricians) need to touch some 480 outputs while standing in a puddle of water. OOps they already did that, that is why there brains are fried. 🙂 I am an expert at piping, so I guess I could help out! ---

And no, I don’t have a plummers ‘smile’. I actually use a belt on my pants ---
