Coming from an English teacher from the UK it had to be intentional all along. I was waiting to see when the ice would break. Phew!

Okay I NEVER (well very seldom)go shopping for anything but food.  So I venture out tonight to buy some nice dress slacks at the Granada Mall.  Of course only one store that really carries anything like what I want, then the lights go out for 20 minutes.  Go figure.  In India one would expect the lights to go out but not here.  And the only pair of slacks even close doesn't fit and the lights go out when I'm in the dressing room.

and its not even 10/10/10 today?
it must have been an internal electric failure. the national grid is quite stable since it was implemented by GE and is probably still being maintained by some of their gurus...

Quit complaining!!! At least YOU have a dressing room !!!!!!!!!! 

(think of the story of the man complaining cause he had no shoes until he met the guy who had no feet!)

Point taken.  And I am beginning to get a better feel for what women have to deal with here.  My hardhard goes off to you.

ermmm.. hardhard ??   Dare I ask??

Back in the day, somewhere far away in the sunny isles of the Caribbean, in Jamaica; a man sat in his back yard reflecting on his life and dwelled on all his perceived failings and misfortunates.  At that time, he had no job and had a large family to feed and keep.  His deliberations were profound and he got up, walked to the edge of the Banana plantation and climbed up one of the largest trees there.

As he sat at the top of the tree, he grabbed himself a banana and proceeded to eat it as he continued to dwell on this situation.  He started crying to himself as he realised he had no choice but to end his life there and then.  With that, he finished the banana and threw down the skin and prepared himself to jump to end his life.

The skin fell to the ground, just at a time when a man was walking past.  The man walking, stopped and bent down, picked up the banana skin and eat it, walking on and when he finished, he started whistling.

The man in the tree witnessed the whole thing and promptly scrambled down the tree rebuking himself for being so faithless and weak.  He remembered a saying of his late Grandfather "no matter how poor, or hard done by you think you are, there is always someone worst off than you; so be grateful for the Lord's mercy and grace and make the most of what you have"

Here endth my tale that I chose to share with you today - Life if good

OOPS.  My bad, meant hardhat.  Better watch my typing.  I claim the 5th.

We do tend to go overboard at times and everybody just dives in.
