The Fence Test

Which side of the fence? 
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! 

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. 
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. 

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. 
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. 

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. 
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. 

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. 
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him. 

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. 
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down. 

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. 
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. 

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his. 

If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. 
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

Don't ya just love this time of year -- okay, nobody is ready to see summer end or cold weather return but cool temps are certainly welcomed and hey, low to no humidity is delightful...not to mention, cool temps usually means the mosquitoes have decided to go to a warmer climate.

But the fun, at least for those of us not having to do this work, is witnessing everyone hauling things back into garages, storage sheds or in some cases, homes because such items are no longer practical now that the leaves are changing and within a few months, the white stuff will return.  As for me, hubby has declared October will see us cleaning the patio off -- oh goodies, by then I shan't be able to help at all -- good plan.  However, I have emptied, dried, deflated and put away the pool, rolled up the carpet under the pool and put away various pots and garden tools.  However, I also know that I need to buy some "tubs" or "storage containers" to replace the ones that are falling apart in the shed at the moment and causing major concern.  Yet I also know, once I get these tubs/storage cans, I need to sort thru shit and toss stuff out.  Always a fun process and if Hubby is around, my pack-rat will think we should keep certain things a big longer (his stuff for damn sure, not mine).

Here's a photo of us 44 years ago, yup we just celebrated 44 years of marriage.  Hey, come on, we got married while in Vietnam, and we have managed to stay together, have two kids and see four grandchildren entertain  us and become the joy of our lives.

This month hold some challenges for me but I shall meet them head on and do whatever is necessary to insure I am here, on this side of the dirt, for quite a few more years.

Take care everyone, slow down and remember school is back in session, kids are crossing roads, school buses demand our attention and for crying out loud, keep smiling.
