    Trick or treat

    TRICK OR TREAT
    Here is what I did...............
    My friends and neighbors are Republicians. He is a retired Dr. his wife a sweet, dear friend. Every time I go there he tries to change my mind on whom to vote for. He of course thinks McCain is the way to go. The Dems are all fools, the Rep are all Gods.
    He has a McCain sign on his lawn.
    Two doors down another couple have two Obama signs.
    See where this is going? LOL Oh yea.
    The Dr now has two Obama signs on his lawn and the other couple has his McCain sign.
    I wish I could see his face in the morning when he gets his paper.
    TRICK OR TREAT MAN.................

    And how is this any different from signs being vandalized?

    Sorry, I fail to see the humor. I don't, and will never have, campaign signs in my yard, but I'd be pissed.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    1) These two retired couples will meet and perhaps become friends.
    2) No one was hurt.
    3) Nothing was destroyed, just moved two lawns down.
    4) You need a sense of humor to appreciate this. It is after all Halloween, trick or treat.
    5) A bit of harmless adult fun with cloths on, no drugs or firearms were used.
    6) No pets were used.
    7) It's damn funny.
    8) I needed to take a walk
    9) It was dark and no one saw me
    10) Best reason of all, it pi$$ed you off.

    LOL no I am 49 and full of harmless fun, adventure, daring and bull.
    I am a free soul who enjoys a practical joke or two.
    Believe me my friends give it to me all the time. I can either laugh or lose one of the most precious God given gifts. A sense of humor and the obsurd.

    Technically... that's against the law. it is theft. A lot of people purchase those signs. so it may have been harmless fun... but never the less it WAS illegal of you to do so.

    So... it may be funny to you but hope you don't get caught and hope if you do that they aren't too mad.

    Sadly enough.. at my husbands work a child approx 6 years old and his friend came onto their property and took their sign... the boss caught them (he didn't call the cops or anything) but this CHILD proceeded to tell him to "F off... McCain is an F'ing A hole and to go F himself" Sad isn't it?




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Returning to the original topic:

    For the nothing it's worth, I think your trick was cute. You might find this article interesting re: how times have changed for pranks. http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2...0182008/417679 I have to say that some of the ones he describes, especially the cow in school, SHOULD have been criminalized!!

    Ah thanks. I can't wait for April Fools Day

    There was a segment on either 20/20 or 60 minutes on how people, including dentists are going to Mexico
    yes Mexico for good, cheap dental care.

    Also I lived in Germany for two years back in 1977-1979 and we had socialized medicine. My oldest son was born there.
    The differences were amazing. Average hospital stay for mom was 9 days.
    No phone in room.
    No bath or toliet.
    No choice of menu
    4 moms to a room
    Cost billed to me for a 9 day stay, 9 months of OB visits and one week of ICU for my son who was sent to a childrens hospital........ $00.0000000000000
    Nada, nix, nothing.
    Care wonderful.
    Food ok.
    Company of 3 other woman, lovely.
    Having to walk down the hall to the loo, cold.
    If the USA ran their health care the same way this country would be in great shape.
    But we Americans are so spoiled. We have to have private room decked out in frilly fabrics, and pretty colors, birthing rooms that look like a bedroom.
    All of us pay for this. Lets cut the pork. Heck lets cut out the whole fat pig.
    People who are on Caresource, Welfare and Medicaid having babies that we the tax payor have to support don't need private rooms with TV, phone, pink curtains, choice of menu, and private bath. Actually none of us do. I for one would love to see health care cut the pork but not the care and save us all bucka bucks.
    Good care doesn't have to be wrapped in luxury, good care is enough. Everyone American citizen should have that right. If you want extra's you should have to pay for them. Like a hotel. This way the people who want the luxury have it and add to the hospital money and those that don't get simple, decent, first rate medicial care.
    Oh and Puck you have been on my ignore list for a year so don't bother.

    Marigold, a hospital stay in Denmark is pretty much the same as you descibed in Germany. I have been to a few different hospitals in Copenhagen and have visited friends and family there too. Depending how ill/sick? you are, you get to share a room with 3 or even 5 people, but you also get a room on your own, or share with one other person. These days, each room has a bathroom (like in a hotel) and if you want a TV in your room, that is possible too in most places, I believe. Also a cell phone. And there's a library who comes round with books you can borrow.

    In recent years, it has been possible for rich people to go to private hospitals ... to cut the waiting list, but if you suffer from certain decieces?, your doctor can admit you to one of those free of cost, and you can also choose to go to a hospital in another European country to get treated there (if the waiting list is long).

    I'll say it again, I'm happy to pay a bit more tax for everyone to be able to go to hospital (and your doctor) for free!

    Your description of a regular hospital room doesn't sound that bad to me.
    The only bad part might be being stuck in a room with a obnoxious, loud
    roommate.
