Re: "PPP Estates Pro Shop"
    As you can tell, I am back from the "Puddle Seminar" in
Las Vegas. Now I know why they say, "What happens in Las
Vegas stays in Las Vegas"! Nobody wants to talk about this
kind of experience!!!! You know those "Beautiful Phemales"
in that "Phabulous Puddle" that I told you about? They
weren’t "Beautiful Phemales", they were "Phonies"!!! I tell
you, I got myself out of that puddle and headed straight for
home. BOY! No wonder nobody talks!! 
    As regards the "PPP Estates Pro Shop", I have just about
finished the list of inventory which you will want to sell, 
and should have it available for you tomorrow..

Re: "Stump Puddle"
    Geezzz Gary, Seems like I stepped on some ones toes! 
Boy, Jan Bollinger Persons ('60) your personal "Puddle Pal"
really gets testy when ever I try to help my friend. Has she
always been this way? My stump, My puddle, My this, My that,
what about you Gary, what about your feelings? I am going
to do something that rarely do Gary, but because you are
such a good friend, I am going to get you out of this "STUMP
PUDDLE"' STUMP PUDDLE" (Jan) thing at no charge!! Here's
what you have to do. First, cut the stump off level with the
lawn, then go to Home Depot (Casa DePoo in Mexico) and buy
an stump extender (three and one half foot 4X4), buy one
six inch piece of one inch dowel, and one small container of
wood glue, and go home. Drill a 1" diameter hole, 3" deep 
in the stump, and also the stump extender, apply glue and
attach stump extender to stump. While allowing to dry,
decorate around stump base with flowers and mulch. When dry,
find a large green plastic garbage can lid, turn it upside
down and attach to stump extender. (If you attach it right
side up, it looks like an ugly umbrella or a giant toad
stool). Fill with water and "Waa-Laa", you have what is
known in our industry as a "Bird Butt Puddle'... I know Jan
will probably not pleased because it wasn't "HER" idea, but
I'm just trying to help you out!! It's what being "Friends"
is all about!!! I think some of the others out there who 
are reading the Sandstorm should drop Gary a line of
encouragement to show much deserved support for our
Befuddled Puddle Brother!!!

Re: Chauvinistic Boloney or Bologna
    "STUMP PUDDLE", "STUMP PUDDLE", sounds very nice if you
say it with a good heart and open mind!!! And, I do not 
whisper things to your husband, (there you go again,"My" 
Husband) I am "not" that kind of guy, and neither is Gary!!!
And further more, what I say to Gary is not "BOLOGNA"!!!
