A woman decided to make some extra money by selling cosmetics. (I got this idea from a t v show I heard someone talk about.) She borrowed a thousand dollars to buy product to sell. She then decided to sell the cosmetics to herself and borrowed a thousand dollars to do it. She made a hundred dollars commission. She was so happy with her success, she decided to borrow twice as much to make twice as much. After that she decided to run for Congress.

Go With The Wind
The trouble with windmills is there isn't enough wind. In some places it doesn't always blow and in some places it doesn't blow at all. I came up with a solution. It's so simple, I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. Do what Hollywood does. Use wind machines. It's perfect. Don't question it. Just accept it. This is the answer.

2 x 2
I noticed that I had written about two different subjects twice. I thought I should delete
one of each pair, but couldn't decided which one. Then realized I should just leave them.
Someone might like one, but not the other. And someone might like both and will be
twice blessed. You're welcome.
Words
I started thinking about writing down every word I know. It's going to take a while. I'm
not going to do it all in one sitting. I thought about just doing it randomly, but decided to
start with the A's.
A, an, and, always, age, are, aardvark, aardwolf, ( Yeah. That one surprised me too.) alligator,
antler, abamp, (I'm going to have to stop learning new words.) ape, available, admitters, all,
arc, arch, archaeologist, (Maybe I ought to rethink this.) actor, ahead, That, is, all, for, now.

Hidden Treasure
Chuck and Josh went to Chuck's house after school to play video games. They wanted some snacks and made a search for where Chuck's mom stashed her Oreos. They were tearing the house apart looking for the cookies when Chuck's mom walked in. "Mom, you really hid your cookies good. We can't find them." "Neither can I," his mother said.

School Speed Zone
There are two types of school Speed Zones I know about. One is 20 miles per hour between the hours of 7 and 5. The other is, 20 miles per hour when children are present. I often wondered, what do they mean by children? Is that a child or short person? Is that child too old? Then I found out they meant when children are in the crosswalk.
Why couldn't they just say that? Why couldn't they just say, don't run over kids in a crosswalk. And why do they believe we are the kind of people that run down kids in crosswalks? I know that , unless I am really annoyed, I don't run down anyone I see in a crosswalk. And I am pretty sure my friends and family feel the same way.
The sign sould say, School zone. Watch out for kids. Have a nice day. I think that would make us more alert and we would slow down to read the sign. Kids would, blissfully, be unaware of the danger and the rest of us would be satisfied because we did a good deed. I see smiles all around. My job is finished. Good day.

Pineapple
I was watching a show where a kid just found out that a pineapple wasn't an apple. Then I remembered what I
had learned once. Apple was the English word for fruit. The pineapple looks like a pinecone. The pineapple is really a pinefruit. The world finally makes sense again. At least, for little while.
