Why ask why?

Hello Call,

I know the exact feeling. There is nothing too pleasant about it. Stay healthy!

Thanks Call

RE: "RAMBLIN MAN"("RAMBLE ON")(13)

Hello Nam,

Enjoyed reading them all. Thanks for sharing.

Why ask why?

Hello Ed...


4 fridges????

Thanks for reading and for posting. I feel a little better now.

Why ask why?

Hello Avias...

Thanks for reading. Yes....leave it up to Robert. With all that aftershave he has been promoting lately, he should have a brand named after him.

Why ask why?

DC...

Thank you for checking it out and I am happy you enjoyed it. Yes, my Sunday wasn't all that great. I worked most of it...then took a nap...then worked the rest of it. Hope yours was better.

Why ask why?

LM....hmmmm, after reading what you said...you are right. Looks like there will be no modern day Robin Hood. But, that does not stop me from giving. Thank you for the clarification on that.

Why ask why?

In fact....to this day, I am still dealing with that guy. :)

Why ask why?

Seriously Pepps....in this business, you never know where your next dollar is going to come from.


True story....I was talking with my post master last year about a particular item I specialize in. As I was walking out, a guy in line stopped me and said he had some of what I was looking for. I made several thousands of dollars off of that deal. You just never know.

Why ask why?

Okay Ms. P. Corn, time for me to pop in a VHS tape. Take care and have a lovely night.


Thank you all who shared your thoughts/opinions/fun. :)

Why ask why?

Also....who knows. If you just happen to talk to the right person, you might actually stumble across the next "big one." :)

Why ask why?

Indeed Pepps. I keep all of my receipts. :)

Why ask why?

To add a little cream to the top of this....I could even hand out one business card to a person on this advertising trip.

Why ask why?

Yeah/No Pepps?

Why ask why?

Okay Pepps....

If you are self-employed, it will be very possible to do this.

On my last walk, I gave away like $10 to people panhandling.

Round trip, I drive 20 miles to get to where I enjoy walking.

For a tax right-off, I get around .50 cents a mile.


Now, since I buy and sell junk, I could easily say that I drive those same 20 miles to attempt to procure junk I am trying to sell. You know, advertising is an expense. As long as I ask one person if they have junk for sale...."technically" I am doing advertising.

So what if I happen to get my walk out of the deal...that just happens to be the case....very convenient if you ask me.

Now, with my 20 miles tax write off for mileage, I get a $10 credit.
So, I could give the needy $10 at "technically" no expense to me. Kinda like a modern day Robin Hood.

I do not see why that would not be legal...as long as I am "legitimately" looking to do advertising.

Why ask why?

SA...you are still with us....that is testament in and of itself. But....indeed....be safe. :)

Why ask why?

Thanks Robert for your insight. BTW, I am very envious of your lifestyle. The part with the fish-head soup that is.


Good night my friend.

Why ask why?

Hey....Robert is back.

Why ask why?

Pepps...can I run an idea by you.....an idea that actually has the government giving to the needy....by your own control.

Why ask why?

Pepps.....I remember her user name was Smart a**. With a name like that, she has to be smart? But, with all fairness, at least she knows she should not be using it while driving. She is probably being as careful as she possibly can be.

Why ask why?

Thank you for stopping by Robert. There is nothing wrong with those 120 ounce slurpies. Somebody needs to keep the fructose companies in business.

Make sure you do not find any hairs on those dogs though. After hearing what you seen, I now carry a 25x loop with me...."buyer beware"....so I inspect closely now.


Take care Robert. :)

Good luck to your Raiders....hopefully my Lions can get a miracle win on Monday...but, I doubt it.

I drank 5 cups of coffee tonight..so I am all wired up right now. What a great way for me to get to sleep easily tonight.

Why ask why?

I agree Pepps.....playing with a smart phone (even if it is smart a**) is not really the best thing to do while driving.

Why ask why?

Robert....since the cat is sneaking out of the bag...little by little here. You discovered me. The black curlies that were on your maple bars...could have been mine. My night job is a baker. Hey, you can't waste good protein you know.

Why ask why?

Dedo.....sure. That makes sense. You gotta have a hairdryer collection. Just don't tell any women that... ...for some reason, they think it is "not natural."

Why ask why?

Hey Robert,

Thank you so much for having my best interest in mind. I can see, you are a true Saint here.

I am going to try the shaving with the after shave. I do have matches. Everyone knows that heat does dry.

Why ask why?

LM,

I thought about that. But, I would not feel right being with her if it was only to find somebody better. Don't get me wrong, she is not bad looking. She is a tiny little thing...with a seemingly fun personality. I would not mind finding a doctor. Not that I am too fussy or anything. I want somebody to enrich my life....not bring it down.

Why ask why?

South China sounds like a place were you need to keep a good stock of baby powder. ?? Maybe??

Why ask why?

LM,

This waitress in particular wanted to go out drinking with me. So, I think there is some attraction there. If I asked her out, I am sure she would accept.

But...maybe I am being too fussy?

Why ask why?

Pepps,

I have another funny story too. But, I am sure if I share that one, I will have the padded trucks showing up at my front door in a matter of minutes.


Until then, you might be on to something.

Why ask why?

Hello LM,

Thank you for your input here.

One....I think you are right. As I read more and learn more about women...I am starting to get that exact impression about entertaining them. After all, don't every bore your woman....or, embarrass them in public.

Two.....Yes....sometimes...in that much of a hurry.


and

Three....well, I lived with her for 13 years. So, there are a lot of memories and life experiences that I had during that time. But, you might be right. It might be time for me to just wipe that stuff out. I just recently read. When you break up with somebody. In order to get over them, you need to eliminate them from your life all together. Otherwise, it takes longer to get over them....if at all.

Thanks LM.



Maybe instead of saying ex....I will use the woman I lived with for 13 years.

Why ask why?

A side note...if somebody blew me...perhaps I could dry that way.
