It is a warm Saturday afternoon just after noon and I am on deployment catching speeders. I am parked by the sign that says "Burger Boy <-- One Block East. We deliver". Feeling hungry, I say to my self "Wonder if they would deliver to my vehicle". Nothing ventured nothing gained, so I call the number on the sign and explain to the person on the phone who, what, why and where I am. "Will you deliver to where I am?". "Give me your number, I will talk to the manager and call you back".
Well, imagine my surprise when this car pulls up behind me on the boulevard and a man hops out with a brown paper bag in his hand, comes up and knocks on my window. I lower it a crack and asked what he wants, and he says "I have your burger order here". Cool! I go to give him the money and he says "No charge". So I explained why I have to pay. We talked for a moment, I gave him a tip, and he hopped back into his car and left.
I thought it only happened in movies, but man that burger was good.

Yesterday we were heading into the big city of Red Deer and turned up the radio to listen to the news. One of the reports was about a young man who had a domestic fight with his partner. To get back at her, he threw a 4 month old German Shepherd puppy against the wall, severely breaking it's leg.
The RCMP were asking for the public's help in saving the puppy's life. The vet said there were only three choices for the puppy.
1. The break was so severe that the puppy may have to be put down unless
2. It has it's leg amputated at a cost of $300, or
3. Reconstructive bone surgery, which would save the leg and give the puppy a normal life, at a cost of $3,000.
The Police asked the public to contact the Cedar Wood Veterinary Clinic if they could help with donations. Having 3 dogs of our own, we decided to donate. In 4 hours, the clinic had well over $3,000. They even had an adoption of the puppy where the people who are going to adopt the pup are going to pay the bill themselves. The money that has been donated will go to giving treatment to stray pets and where low income owners can not afford the cost of treatment for their pets.
People who love and care for their pets have kind hearts.
Oh, and I think that each person who donated, should be allowed to line up and throw the Jerk against the wall or hit him in the leg with a 2x4.

Yesterday a man was given a parking ticket. When he found it he became mad and decided he did not like being given a ticket, so he decided to call the number on said ticket to complain.
The lady in the bylaw office answered the phone and the man began to swear at her using obscene and profane language. The lady hung up on him.
This man called right back and said, "You stupid c..., you had better call the cops because I am going to come over there with a baseball bat" he continued the verbal assault.
She hung up on him again and called the RCMP. She informed the officer what had happened, then she gave him the number that was on the caller ID pad. The officer told her they would take it from there.
Hello, caller ID. All the phones in the bylaw office, like 911, have caller ID of even the unlisted . Yes, they caught him, now we are waiting to hear what the outcome will be.
I am sure even you know of caller ID on modern phones. Anger just makes you stupid.

A store manager overheard a clerk saying to a customer, "No ma'am, we haven't had any for some weeks now and it dosen't look as if we'll be getting any soon"
Alarmed the manager rushed over to the customer who was walking out the door and said, "That isn't true ma'am. Of course, we'll have some soon in fact, we placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago."
The manager then drew the clerk aside and growled, "Never, never, never, never say we don't have something. If we don't have it, say we ordered it and it's on the way."
"Now, what was it she wanted?" continued the manager.
The clerk answered, "Snow"

Ann and Alfie were sitting in the living room and Alfie said to Ann, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
With that, Ann got up, gave Alfie a smile, then unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.
Happy St Patric's Day folks.

The phone bill

The husband going over the bills freaked out when he saw the high charges on the phone bill. He called a family meeting and explained to the family, "The phone bill is way to high, you have to limit the time on the phone." I don't use this phone as I use the phone at work.
His wife replied, "Same here, I hardly use the phone at home, as I use my work phone."
The added, "Me too, I never use the home phone, I always use my company cell phone."
All their gazes moved over to the maid, dusting in the corner.
The maid rolled her eyes and said "So? What's the problem? We all use our work phones!"

Her new adventure begins.

I just saw the Mrs off to her last day of work. Today she retires and her new adventure begins. We talked about it at length over the past few months and she has things and projects arranged. No, it is not going to be all housewife things, but more of what she can enjoy herself with time at hand. I just know I am going to be tired helping her with this yard work and garden stuff that is planed. With the projects she wants me to make, who needs a job jar. I am now armed with plans for planters, bricking around the fruit trees, small(in height)garden fence to keep the dogs out, a gardening cart, and the list goes on. With the big dump of snow we had this past weekend, she still wanted to go to the local green house and get supplies to start her plants. Thank gosh the roads were not recommended to travel on. And now I will tell you why.
The plan today is see her off to work(one down) and get the house straightened around(in progress, just having coffee and doing this blog). The dogs and I will wrap her presents. Cheap me got her a gift certificate to Parkland Nurseries and Garden Center. K.C. got her a temperature controlled self watering plant tray, peat pots, window stand and a "How to Garden" book. Chuppie(short for Chupacabra) got her garden gloves, kneeling pad, set of garden tools, sun hat, and a good pair of garden shears. Chloe got her a portable green house with a zipper door six or eight shelves, a hand held garden sprayer(it pumps up and you pull a trigger to spray) sun glasses, sunscreen, insect repellent and a box of mixed band-aids.
I plan to meet her at the door of Costco with a big bunch of Carnations(her favorite) and balloons when she gets off work, then take her out to supper. Leanne will get the gifts and cards when she gets home. No I did not forget the seeds, she wants to get all that stuff herself. Tomorrow or Sunday we are going to the garden center.

Wow, just read about Andrew Breitbart and thought there would be a lot to look into here in blog land from my American friends. Have not found any yet. Think there is any truth he was silenced?

A tasty tip for wings

Buffalo flavour wings come in various degrees of heat so when you buy them at the deli, they may be a little to hot for you. So make your own to the heat you like.
I spoke to the deli dept at our local store and was given their recipe. Find the hot sauce you like, mild, medium, hot, or OMG.
I am not to fond of OMG this is hot, so I use mild hot sauce.
I digress, any way, take equal parts of Ranch salad dressing and your hot sauce(they use a cup of sauce and a cup of dressing), mix togeather and put in a plastic bag. Add wings(or anything you want to coat in Buffalo sauce) and shake. Remove wings from bag and serve. Easy Peasy.
I still found it a little to hot for my tummy, so I went a step further. 1/4 cup mild hot sauce, 1/4 cup Ranch dressing and 1/4 cup of sour cream. I liked it.
There you go!
