Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

People who are waiting… but there is no available appointment as the media says go and apply… It was through the grace of God that my life is serving… Pottz when praising God as I did- to label it as a comparison to politics?

My arm is still sore from yesterdays fiasco / inferno. Took it easy, did some planning for finishing room projects. Wife's Uncle hit me with proposal last week to bring family here instead. So we agreed to add another 12 months to my original plan while we explore this new option. So now 29 months and a maybe.. LOL. No telling where he might want to settle. I did insist that no where that has cold winters. Pins in my arm and wrist hate cold weather.

I believe you have mistaken my desire to go to Ukraine to be based on current events. My plan has been in motion since 2011. Our reason for returning to Ukraine is for way of life / semi retirement / be with family issues. Nothing to do with politics or where I think the USA is headed. I have remained this long to watch the kids grow up and go off to college my youngest graduates next year. No mortgage, good job plus I get disability from here, and above all a much more relaxed work environment (3 day weeks at my job) 8 weeks paid vacation plus about 22 holidays as well as some sick time. We work way much here, I want to enjoy time with my wife and family.

Speaking of the Beach Boys - any of you see the movie Love and Mercy, with John Cusack as Brian Wilson? Really good movie, Cusack nails that role. Alot of "issues" explored/explained in that movie, like the rivalry with the Beatles, Brian´s genius, his mental downfall.

Highly recommend it.

Side note, if you go back and see many of Cusack´s early films, you may notice that he is always wearing a Clash shirt in at least one scene, and in one movie - for like the whole movie. Not only was he a Clash-head, he later became very good friends with Joe Strummer up until Joe´s death.

Have a great day

Old joke attributed to Mark Twain:

The wife said we need new curtains.
I said the old curtains are perfectly fine.
So we comprimised and went out to buy new curtains.

An oldie but a goodie:
Rick Derringer and Johnny Winter - Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo

- wildwoodbybrianjohns
You can substitute rug for curtains and you have my wife and me.

Drawer box building in shop today. 37 and done. Glad, pretty boring after about 10.

Did you guys watch the 22 yr old poet at the inauguration? Geez, I remember when I was 22. All I could think about was where my next beer was. Brilliance is the only thing That comes to mind.

I feel ya, did these couple weeks ago, talk about mind numbing and eating time. Think my batch came out to 60 total. Made a few extra as this size is what I use in all the other drawers. Finished the insides before glue up, then painted each box individually.
