Not able to uncover a replacement for this immediately ravaged piece of fluff, that would blend well with the remaining three year old undamaged bed spread, I was compelled to purchase a completely new bed set, which then required new sheets that looked less dingy. Imagine my chagrin, upon discovering the unacceptable hue of the green in my existing 70 inch round
table covers!
   If my memory serves me correctly, you can be out on a date with an absolutely charming individual, when you notice his hand resting on the sofa cushion next to yours. Eventually, his fingers move closer and you soon discover that holding his hand is quite pleasant. In no time at all, you are ……(My memory isn’t so bad after all—therefore, we’d better not go there!)
    Finally, there is the jeweler who calls me about custom watch faces for all of his chums down at the lodge. I supply him with complimentary colored artwork
showing what can be done and he sells about twenty watches.
    As he continues to enjoy his new found status at the lodge of “time consultant”, not to mention the reasonable profit for minimal effort, a few of the recipients begin to inquire about similar projects for their places of employment.
    Within a year, a couple more watch projects have evolved into requests for lapel pins, which quickly uncover a need for rings. Soon, these rings will require the addition of diamonds.
    Whether it is good or bad, one thing usually leads to another - or so it has often been said.

One Thing Leads To Another
   
Whether it is good or bad, one thing usually leads to another … or so it has often been said.
    Just one measly bite of that cookie, leads to the second. In what seems to be less than an instant, an entire sleeve of Nabisco Oreo’s can be devoured.
    One mile per hour over the speed limit doesn’t seem so blatant, and neither does three.  Actually, five puts one right up there with moving traffic, but seven miles per hour over the speed limit actually seems to relieve the congestion caused by only going six over. But ten miles per hour over the limit allows one to leave any bottle neck behind, while cutting a normally six hour trip down to five.
    My brand new vacuum cleaner guaranteed to suck paint off of a picket fence recently encountered barely a corner of the dust ruffle under my bed.
