Good to the Last Drop

The Very Last Drop…of Toothpaste

One Friday I went to the store and forgot to get toothpaste. Oh well, there’s always enough toothpaste left in the tube to get several more brushings, so not to worry. We usually squeeze it to the very last drop anyway.

Monday morning found me procrastinating and not making the slightest effort to replace the toothpaste. Nobody else in the house seemed interested either as I didn’t see them going to get it.

Tuesday: Milk is out, eggs are almost gone, nothing but butt ends left in the bread bag, and there is only a swig of ice tea left in the jug. Orange juice is all gone. I have GOT to go to the store now. When the drinks run low, it’s time to do something. I made a list, headed for the store, and picked up everything we needed.

Wednesday morning I opened the new box of toothpaste and grabbed the old tube to toss it in the trash. The sight of the old squashed up tube laying (yes…laying) next to the brand new tube sent me scurrying for my camera. I’m a camera fanatic, you know.

Then, the thought crossed my mind…do I toss the old tube or should I keep it until it’s totally all the way empty? Don’t laugh, there was a time when I would have kept it and even cut it open with scissors to get the very last drop.

Not this time though, I tossed it!

There you have it, my nonsensical rant about squeezing toothpaste.

Do you squeeze your toothpaste tube to the last drop? Or do you replace it well before it gets near the end? What are your thoughts on squeezing the Last Drop of Toothpaste?

                                aka - The Best Way to Get Rid of Spam

The first thing most of us think about when we hear the word spam,  is all that junk and stuff that we get in our email inbox. Isn’t that what you thought when you saw my title? 

This is all about Spam, but it’s not what you think. This is about spam for real, the first real Spam, the kind that you eat. Tee-hee-hee, gotcha didn’t I?

This is how I get rid of Spam. First I get two slices of Spam lunch meat, two slices of bread, and some mustard and mayonnaise. 

Next, I spread the mustard and mayonnaise on the bread. I put one slice of Spam on each piece of bread and fold it over making a single sammich. 

Then I grab a couple of hands full of sea salt and vinegar chips and a nice ice cold bottle of something to drink to go along with my two Spam sammiches. Now I am good to go!

Finally, I prop up in my bed on my brown pillow and take a nice big bite of my first Spam sammich. I follow that with a couple of chips and chew it up really good. Now, a big Swig of this delicious ice cold lemonade and all is right in my world.

There you have it, my ideas on The Best Way to Get Rid of Spam!

REAL Political Spin

This is not your average political post, I'm not into politics. If you feel like reading further, you'll understand what I mean. 

Some things just depend on how you look at them...

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree.. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows  in Montana territory: 

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.' 


So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle. 


Senator Harry Reid: 

Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research: 


"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. 

Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. 

In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed." 

NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks...
  
That's real POLITICAL SPIN!


DISCLAIMER: This is an email I received from a friend several years ago with the ... pass this on to 800 people thing on it. Don't know if this is true or false. I just found it humorous in light of today's political climate and thought I'd pass it along for others to get a chuckle or two. 

A Love Story

This is the love story of Ralph and Edna who were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'

Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
