As for the...Paco, thankfully Mrs. Paco chews gum. <br /><br />As for the site "manager". He needs to brush up on his colloquial Spanish. OR was "free electricity" and living on-site one of the perks of working there. Who is paying for the electric across the street? I'm not sure I'd leave any accoutrements at the new place. By-the-way, why did you get a place in a subdivision on an island? Traded snow for hurricanes. I know Mrs. Paco needs the ocean and shore, but....<br /><br />Luckily, my brother-in-law helped us move. One of the neighbors offered to help drive since we had two trucks, but we managed without him. We got everything in one trip. Hope you're done soon.<br /><br />So you thought you'd have a leisurely retirement, did you.<br /><br /> Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-2692107237288088092018-02-28T17:53:28.086-05:002018-02-28T17:53:28.086-05:00I saw that chewing gum trick in The Rocketeer.

So totally missing from 'debates' is this level of skill and self-control. Well I'm one foreigner who understands, even if most don't (they talk about understanding other cultures, but some more than others, weird world of selective outrage). brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-87256098546598721232018-02-28T14:17:31.288-05:002018-02-28T14:17:31.288-05:00Jeff: Tell me about it!

I had to help him load a big wooden box of accoutrements, that must have weighed 250 pounds. I asked him what he had in it - "A little bit of everything". The bigger your collection, the more accoutrements you need.<br /><br />Some Chicago Dim is wanting to greatly raise the taxes on figurines and accoutrements in Illinois, so I guess I need to stock up on my favorite accoutrements before they do that.<br /><br />I hope you thought to shut off the power to the outside outlets, Paco. Otherwise, they probably plugged in again as soon as you left.rinardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084346073021788172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-16575187122175711452018-02-28T04:27:03.704-05:002018-02-28T04:27:03.704-05:00I think they're the kind of 'Hummel figuri...I think they're the kind of 'Hummel figurines' which John Howard banned here 20 years ago, Mike W.
