I Want to Leave the City Behind

I want to leave,Leave the hustle and bustle of the city,Move to the hills where it's quiet,To the hills where its clear and pretty.I want to retreat,Hide away from the horns, the shouting, the constant chattering,Give it all up for the birds chirping, the rustling of the trees as they caress the trees,A place I can relax and have no part of the city's beat.I want to go above the light grey smog and the haze,I want a view, the breath-taking scenery...

Dutty Landlord!

Once again Stunner is on the hunt for a new place to rest my head...among other things. The painstaking tasks of: buying The Sunday Gleaner at 12:00 midnight, waking up early on a Sunday morning, making endless futile phone calls, driving to all kinda areas across the corporate area, only to be disappointed by ridiculous prices and substandard places of dwelling are to be repeated once again! It seems I just keep moving, never settled; every year...

Extortion is what it is! Poor decent people who strive to pay their utility bills are now being asked to pay...no, sorry, forced to pay fee to pay their bills! What kind a &#^#%ry is that? Let me set the plot for you.Once upon a time, not so long ago, honest hardworking, bill paying, customers of the utility companies would queue up is almost never ending lines to pay their exorbitantly high bills at the utility company's branch offices.

Little Old Lady

A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic garbage bags with her, one in each hand. There's a hole in one of the bags, and every once in a while a $20 bill is flying out of it onto the pavement.

Thanks for the warning!" "Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all that money? Did you steal it?" "Oh, no", says the little old...

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."The director's...

Well as you can see today is not Thursday, so the Thursday post didn't work out. I am still under the influence of the time consuming, school work.
