Hey lady called me last week looking to get something done this weekend by something I mean one room in a closet that she's selling the house and the new people are moving in first thing Monday morning by the time I got back to her she said she found someone else then she's called four or five times today trying to get me to come out Saturday night or Sunday and I have plans on both days to go pedaling and ATV and I know she can't find anybody and that explain to her that it's the busy season and people need days off and she's now offering to have me clean the whole house to make it worth my wild when I'd really just like the charger 300 bucks and do the one room but she's still calling around and I know she's going to call me tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. begging me to come over to do this one bedroom and because I'm not Marty I'll probably end up doing it

I get talked into things like that too.
But I make them fit into my day not theirs.
Hopefully it's close to home.

Punctuation for the love of God...punctuation.

Your stuff always reminds me of Molly Bloom's monologue in "Ulysses"

the sun shines for you he said the day we were lying among the rhododendrons on Howth head in the grey tweed suit and his straw hat the day I got him to propose to me yes first I gave him the bit of seedcake out of my mouth and it was leapyear like now yes 16 years ago my God after that long kiss I near lost my breath yes he said I was a flower of the mountain yes so we are flowers all a womans body yes that was one true thing he said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I liked him because I saw he understood or felt what a woman is and I knew I could always get round him and I gave him all the pleasure I could leading him on till he asked me to say yes and I wouldnt answer first only looked out over the sea and the sky I was thinking of so many things he didnt know of Mulvey and Mr Stanhope and Hester and father and old captain Groves and the sailors playing all birds fly and I say stoop and washing up dishes they called it on the pier and the sentry in front of the governors house with the thing round his white helmet poor devil half roasted and the Spanish girls laughing in their shawls and their tall combs and the auctions in the morning the Greeks and the jews and the Arabs and the devil knows who else from all the ends of Europe and Duke street and the fowl market all clucking outside Larby Sharons and the poor donkeys slipping half asleep and the vague fellows in the cloaks asleep in the shade on the steps and the big wheels of the carts of the bulls and the old castle thousands of years old yes and those handsome Moors all in white and turbans like kings asking you to sit down in their little bit of a shop and Ronda with the old windows of the posadas glancing eyes a lattice hid for her lover to kiss the iron and the wineshops half open at night and the castanets and the night we missed the boat at Algeciras the watchman going about serene with his lamp and O that awful deepdown torrent O and the sea the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

I can't punctuate when I'm driving.

Perhaps you'll be safer and your posts easier to read if you could hold your stream of consciousness until you park.

Still, it does kind of give the post the feel of the desperation of said woman.

I am a bit worried she'll be the customer from hell. The demanding and desperate do not often the long term customer make.

I credit you that skill.

Still, to the young and inexperienced who might follow this thread and not have your perception, this could be a cautionary tale.

Let us know how it turns out.

I often think of great things to say while driving. Unfortunately I forget what I was thinking by the time I get where I'm going.

I've thought of recording the thought as I'm driving then rewrite it later but I never do. Maybe Mike should try that but I get the instant posting of thoughts too. Something gets lost when you wait too long. I think it's the emotion.

Testing my text to speech. It seems to be working very well. Iā€™m having no problems completing sentences.

I also like to say ā€œ

ā€œ

I like to eat food in the mall. I hate salad. It is yucky. I married a Valium. I was so ugly when I was a kid my Mom would tie a ham around my neck and told me to go outside to play with the dogs.

edit: if you say ā€œnew paragraph ā€œ it will do that also

Off to go clean a gym. I hope they don't shit when I pull out the Vibe and encap!
Ask them if they use a washclothe or just runse off in the shower. If they comment. I guarantee tgey will nod say something like that makes sense and then quietly walk away and leave you alone.
