That's the kind of stuff we forget so quickly, but it's so much a part of daily life. I have this theory that if we could record our everyday lives and put a soundtrack and laughtrack to it, we'd have ready-made sitcoms. Oh, I forgot, they've already done that - it's called REALITY TV.<BR/><BR/>Even so, I'm just sayin' - when I'm having a bad day or a stupid conversation with someone, I like to think to myself, "pretend it's a sitcom." It makes everything a lot funnier and life much easier to LIVE on some days!!!<BR/><BR/>And where is that "Father of This Lot," anyway? Every house needs two "Fixers." ;) Don't you agree?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141379598781628847.post-16886436780978378882008-03-05T03:17:00.000+00:002008-03-05T03:17:00.000+00:00Has the fixer considered the law?
