BS: My Life On The Up-swing

From: Clinton Hammond

So... here I sit... with a mitt-full of new keys... keys to our new pad... This place rocks!

Big main floor of a big house split into 3 appts. in an historic area of town... Big living room... a kitchen I could host a square dance in... gas stove top... FIREPLACE in the kitchen... 1 huge bedroom, 1 smaller what will be office space (ya right... computer room!!! LOL!! a walk in closet at the back of the house that is bigger than my current dining room! But my favourite part is the bathroom... shower stall, jacuzzi tub, and get this... a bidet!!! LOL!!

I wanna move NOW!!!

LOL!!!!

Thanks fer all yer support and well wishes while my life has been a shambles... And while having this new place isn't gonna cure all my woes, it sure goes a long way to making the ones that are left seem a lot less insurmountable...

Oh ya... the new place... is also so close to a Guinness tap that it'll take me longer to put on my boots, coat and hat than it will to walk to the Nisbit Inn... Dangerous... very dangerous indeed... but maybe my dart game will improve...

Ah, those old places have the best rooms, don't they? I love the spaciousness and the little nooks and crannies. Really good to hear things are looking up for you, Clinton. Thanks for telling us. I hope to report something similar in a month or two.

Good for you! You deserve it! Now remember - I was the one who offered you free use of the guest room. So when is the party?

Forget the party - does it have a spare room? (hint, hint)

Seriously: Thanks for letting us know about this. That is so cool!

Note to self: dream home will have a bidet AND a urinal!

Will you still know us, Clinton, now that you've gone upscale on us? Jacuzzi and bidet indeed.

Congratulations and best wishes.

Happy to hear that things are looking up, Clinton. See, it's karma! Because you've brought joy to so many Mudcatters through your Secret Santa idea you have now been rewarded. *g*

In your third line you distinctly said '...a kitchen I could host a square dance in'.

No argument about the party, then, is there?

Good luck, - Ian B

best thing about moving is, it lets you assemble all the 'stuff' ya' shoulda thrown out long ago!...have fun, Clinton...you have a music/guitar room?..or does the office have to go double duty?

(A Guiness tap within walking crawling distance will sure make life a bit safer...;>0)

evidently this is some definition of the word 'safe' that I was perviously unware of...

LOL!!!!!!

Way to go Clinton. Guinness on tap and within walking distance, you're right, dangerous. Can I crash on your sofa? And a bidet, cool a water fountain in your john...

reminds me of the Welshman who on hearing his best friends new appartment had a jaccusi a bidet and a urinal said " surely it should have an arsenal as well as a urinal for the money you paid"....

Hey, Clinton: I have no idea who you are, anymore than you have any idea who I am, but I am happy for you! Thanks for sharing your happiness with all of us. I hear so much carping about life, so many cynical comments, so much depressing news that I thank YOU for posting such joyful news.

A few years ago I did a Christmas card with a simple message:

Joy cannot be contained.

Thanks for letting it burst out!

I might have to learn a happy song for you now... don't think I know any!

Very happy for you though. I'll send you an invite to my housewarming if you send me an invite to yours... :0)
