Of Course!

(Palmist) (Czech)

It was told her at a young age, by her gypsy mother, she had the strongest looking mount ball jointed dolls the moon near her alien any psychic ever had, meaning in terms of a palmist hand, her abilities could be quite developed, and at an early age, she could read hands and faces, and fingers, in an instant,

One dollar and five cents; that was all they had. All of it was in pennies. Pennies saved after paying the heat bill, the gas invoice, it sucked all the money up, that implied Mars Attacks was next to broke, he was going to go buy hot dogs with it; he had a wife and two kids, stuck in Erie, Pennsylvania after visiting his sister, and then he and his family thrown out of his sister’s house because they were tired of their company, yet they had invited the foursome from Minnesota to Pennsylvania to live with them, so Monica would have company. Roman had to find a job quick, and did, but this week’s check only left one-dollar and five cents, and tomorrow was Thanks Giving.

There was clearly not a thing he could do but lay back in his living room chair and wallow silently over his misery. So his wife, Delia got involved; which might tell the reader women when they are wronged seem to get their revenge in a subtle way, and often in the process can be deadly, in the world of human hearts, that is.

Her plan did not exactly beg for an elaborate description, but it certainly had that finger of doom attached to it.

Joy Li, was the landlady, who had in the summer told Roman and his wife, to pay an extra $20-dollars a month (it was 1972, twenty-dollars was a lot), so when the winter months come, the heat would be paid, and so they did willingly without signing an addendum to the rental agreement. And now winter was present, and Roman got his first heat bill, inexpediently, and after the rent, there was only that one-dollar and five cents left.

Roman now had finished his cry, and blew his nose thru a hanky, threw it at the cat, who ran out into the back kitchen, and out the door, which was slightly opened, he didn’t care for cats they were too sneaky, but his wife did so he put up with them, all fifteen of them.

Tomorrow was the holiday, ‘Thanks Giving,’ and Delia knew they had to pay the invoice today-their gas, or heat would have been turned off (in 1972, they were not required back then to provide heat, if indeed, the bill was not paid), and therefore, this left her family with only hotdog money for one day, and she knew this should have been a happy day preparing for tomorrow: and usually they had plans, but none were arranged this season.

In a nutshell, had Roman known this in advance, the gas bill was forth coming; he could have cumulated this into the expenses. Although I must add to his, he did his fair share of drinking, and smoking cigarettes that might have helped save some money, but again I emphasize, that would have been needed to have been carved out in advance, Joy had surprised them with the additional bill, and like many people, Roman and his family lived from pay check to pay check.

Oh yes, Joy was sterling with her cleverness, a little near worthy of being outright shrewd, especially at another’s expense. But by and by Delia who was of East European origins, from old Czechoslovakia (from a township called Visegrad), a palmist Gypsy, had married Roman in 1971, he was twenty-seven years old, she only nineteen, they had two boys, twins, now were a year and a half old moved from Minnesota to Erie, Delia had been visiting Minnesota and when they first met, they got acquainted, married and now were here. She had met Joy, outside her apartment, a redbrick building with four apartments in it. She insisted she should read her, palm Joy’s palm: Joy feeling, Delia already knew something was there, allowed it, for she was reading not only the palm, but the shape of her hands, fingers and nails, mounts, other formations in the palms, she had read within a moments glass, her enemies, her strong sex drive, her clear thinking ability, and that she liked to work alone, perhaps that is why she had apartments, and she had small hands, indicating she did things on big levels, or tried, and it was hard for her to forgive injustices, a high vitality, and energy level, and told her to call immediately a certain number, she had an inheritance waiting.

Joy feeling this gypsy had her peculiarities, but it would do no harm in investigating, and when she did, it was at a bank, and she had a large sum of money coming. So cheerful, and thankful, was Joy, she called Delia up on the phone, telling her of her good fortune, and asked if her and her family would come over for Thank’s Giving Dinner. Exactly what Delia was hoping for.

“Here is my humble home,” said Joy Li, with on Thank’s Giving Day smile, opening up the door to her home, as the Delia’s family entered one by one, she gave way and greeted each one with a kiss, and the greatest of hospitality and immediately gave out reasonable refreshment. The sum of her inheritance was so great, she had intentions later on to see if she could persuade Delia into giving her another reading to see what other riches were in store for her, and perhaps even a Tarot readings.

And so the dinner was set, and they were served with the greatest of care by Joy’s cook, and often time’s, comforter. She saw the Negress waving her hands as she walked by her side, she had two fate lines, two careers; from her mount of Jupiter, she was not generous, her thumb told her she had courage, and fighting spirit. Joy saw Delia reading her hands almost in detail, big hands, that done intricate things, that is what Delia thought, and she knew what they were up to. Here was a person who liked to lead, but was being lead, who could not, an injustice she would not forgive. Who had a heavy sex drive, like Joy, like to like; two lesbians, whispered Delia, two strong sex drives, two unforgiving persons-and now she knew, what her intuition told her before she even entered the house, she something, but not the whole of it, and now she put two and two together.

And so the dinner went forward, refreshments and some hosted ham, a bottle of wine.

“Eat, drink and be merry, I am indebted to you,” she told her guest, having inherited a fortune. One that she would not have known about had not Delia not told her, but Joy was wondering also if there was anything else, more money laying about that is.

Delia knew every foreign woman living in another country needed to be shrewder if they wanted to compete with those in their environment, and so not to spoil the dinner she did not tell Joy everything.

She had taken the future of Joy, in her hands-her personality was embedded into those fingers and palm, and she knew what was to happen should she respond a certain way, saw the money stored away in a bank vault, and had created a long conversation in-between, called a diversion to get her senses correct, and now the invitation, a bazaar situation, that she got a free meal out of.

The earth, solar system, even the universe seemed to flow through her palms, always feeding her, and now she and her family were finished at the dinner table, and she wanted to leave quickly. And Joy was a bit surprised, not quite putting two and two together, but sensing something was wrong.

And so Delia and her family left, and Joy sat back at the long dinner table doing a manicure on herself, her hands.

Now before I go on with this story, it is worth a sentence or two to say that, this incident about to take place this scene could not have been witnessed and perhaps for the better of the reader, and the characters, only Delia could see it, and it is best left that way, but it is not insolvable, I will piece this part together for you.

As I have said, the family, Delia’s family had left, and she, Joy started to give herself a manicure, her long dark hair glowed and reflected in the chandelier, lights duplicating it a hundred times over, she must had been thinking I would guess, of the great sum of money she had gotten, or would get, it was already verified it belonged to her, it was just a simply task now to go pick it up. She was, as we often all do-starting to spend the money inside her head before she got it within her grips. Her feet were even tapping a joyful tune on the floor nervously, automatically. And as she looked out the widow beyond the table, she noticed night had fallen upon the house in a deep dark hush.

Now everything quiet in the house-her maid cleaning up the kitchen, her thoughts started wandering into a different arena, not once did her maid come out after Delia had looked her in the eyes, read her swaying palms. She picked up the phone, her maid, whom she did not see, was watching from the crack of the door. Delia answered the phone, surprised to hear Joy’s voice,

“You left so quickly,” she began, “thought I’d give you a call, I never did get to ask you if there might be some bad news in my life, near or far?”

“Why yes, there was, but everybody has bad news, I try to avoid that area, people get so panicky, and don’t enjoy the moment,” said Delia.

“Oh, but you must tell me dear, it is most important to me, I will make it worth your while,” she commented.

Said Delia, with an apprehensive voice, “I’m not sure if that is possible.”

“Why, of course my dear that is,” said Joy, almost with a chuckle as if it was silly.

“Well, if you insist, please take a piece of paper now, and write down, you owe me $2000-dollars, and put it underneath the doily of the table, so no one can find it.”

“Oh, how silly that is, it must be great news, good or bad” commented Joy, but she did it, and then said, “OK, it is done,” and somehow, Delia knew it had been done, said, “Now sit back and listen and do not get too excited: between the red cabbage and the stuffed green peppers was the item, odorless and tasteless poison was injection into those foods, that is why your cook only brought out enough for you, and of course that is your favorite dish, and the cabbage that was left, I told the kids and my husband not to eat it before we came to the table, I told them it was too spicy for them, and they’d get sick stomachs.”

“Oh my gosh,” she screamed, “What can I do! Who did this?”

“Look in the crack of the kitchen door, you will see your maid’s eyeballs watching you (and she turned to see, and she was watching, and staring right at her), oh yes, yes she is…!”

“I see you dead in the next five or six minutes, she killed you, you know, and she is hoping the poison takes effect quick, so you can not retaliate, you have willed her everything you know. So I’m sorry to tell you the bad news, you will not be inheriting that money, but your maid will.”

“But why did you not tell me this before?” asked Joy.

“Simple things to some folks are major things to others, had you not billed the heat bill to us, we would not have needed your dinner, we would have had enough money to buy our own turkey. And you would have been poisoned anyhow, and I would not have known it, to tell you because I would not have found the need to read your palm, and feed my family…” and Delia went on explaining to her how she felt, but Joy never heard the all of it, she was already dead.

It was a week later, Delia received a phone call from the police, saying there was an IOU, under the doily, and that the maid, would be paying her the sum on the note, as soon as she collected the money from Joy’s will.

Have you ever tried to research outdoor swingsets, comparing all the prices, designs, and options on the market? A single search in Google reveals dozens of different brands, styles, and types of backyard play sets. After half an hour of researching, you’ll probably think there’s no end to the huge variety of playsets available.

With all these choices, it can be overwhelming to decide which playset is the best choice for your family. Here are 10 foundational points to help you make a good choice.

Structural Strength

Children have a seeming endless supply of energy. An outdoor swingset becomes a wholesome outlet for their energy. Therefore, it’s important to 1960 Fleer baseball cards a playset 1930’s baseball cards hang together under the daily rigor of energetic kids. Both the type of material used and the actual structure of the set is important to ensure that it will stand the test of time. Southern Yellow Pine, for example, has superior structural strength and a lasting exterior surface, which makes it an excellent choice for a strong and durable play set.

Value for Money

Really, who wants to pay extra for nothing? Do your homework and make sure you compare apples to apples. Some brands offer a bigger playset with more options for the same money. Give extra attention to the options and the size of the playsets you’re comparing.

A Scalable Design

Today there are more options available for outdoor playsets than ever before. Consider the ages and number of your children for starters. If you want more space later, pick a modular, option-friendly design, which lets you add more attachments and options as your family grows.

Attention to the Details

Little details, such as rounded corners and smooth surfaces, all contribute to a higher value. Your children’s little hands and arms are tender and can easily get slivers or skinned up playing around sharp corners and rough surfaces. Try to find a playset built of lumber that has been milled to a smooth surface free of sharp corners.

Unique and Innovative Designs

With many different styles and options available, you no longer have to go with the flow and buy a cookie cutter outdoor playset. Try a unique playset built by forward-thinking designers.

Delivery and Wonder Woman Installation

If you choose to purchase a wooden swing set kit and assemble it yourself, you may be able to get it delivered to you for a good price, rather than hauling it home yourself. Ask about the difficulty level of assembling your set and make sure there are clear plans included.

If you don’t want to set it up yourself, you can choose a company with trained installers who can deliver your backyard playset and install it professionally. Professional installers can often get your set up in a hurry, and you will have peace of mind knowing that it was set up right and you won’t need to work that into your own schedule.

Ready Changeability

Do you want a playset that can change colors? It’s easy to freshen up and change the color of a wooden swingset by giving it a fresh coat of paint or stain.

Renewable Resource

Think about the resources your outdoor playset will use. Are these materials renewable? Consider Southern Yellow Pine, which has a harvest cycle of only 25h40 years. Harvesters ensure future resources by Strange Tales thousands of acres each year as they harvest. This would be a good choice for a wooden swingset.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Choose a swingset brand that offers a warranty against defects. If you choose a wood swingset, make sure it’s protected against rotting or fungal decay.

Lasting Memories

Memories made with your children are priceless. Interacting with your children on an outdoor playset in the backyard is bound to create precious, fun-filled memories. Now is the time to seize those short-lived opportunities with your children. Soon it will be too late.

Buy a sturdy, high quality outdoor playset that will give you good service and help you make good memories for years to come.

Since 1992, the team at Play Mor Swing Sets has been working hard to design and build a unique line of playmorswingsetsbackyard playsets for children that encourage families to spend quality time together in their own backyard. They firmly believe that “children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

Fools rush in should have been 1981 Fleer baseball cards title of this post. Everything I put down Doom Patrol probably not going Dragon’s Lair happen but let’s go ahead and speculate about the future of the U.S. mortgage industry. It’s kind of connect the dots and see where things might lead.

The premise I’m starting with is that we really don’t have a private mortgage industry anymore. Sure, semi-private institutions like banks originate the loans and essentially collect a fee for doing so but they only do so in order to sell the loans to either Fannie, Freddie or FHA. There is no meaningful intent to make a loan and hold it in portfolio or hold, pool and sell a mortgage backed security on the private market.

FHA, Fannie and Freddie are all owned and supported via guarantees and other mechanisms by the federal government. Yes, Fannie and Freddie are nominally private corporations, but they remain so in order for the government not to have to consolidate them on its balance sheet. Whatever accounting fiction is employed, the existence of the three is wholly dependent upon the support of the federal government. So, the extension of residential mortgage credit is currently controlled by the government of the U.S.

The incoming Obama administration and members of the new Congress have made it manifestly clear that they intend to “solve” the current foreclosure crisis. Their preferred methods are loan modifications and a rewrite of the federal bankruptcy code to empower judges to modify residential mortgages. In both cases, massive write-downs of principal balances will be necessary to achieve the desired solution.

A consequence of the methods employed to avoid further foreclosures is going to be a significant reappraisal on the part of private investors as to the risk premium that should attach to American mortgages. In all likelihood, that risk premium is going to be substantially increased assuming that private purchasers can be induced to buy at all.

Coincident to their plan to rework the framework of the current mortgage finance system, the new political order is committing to two additional housing initiatives. One is the continuing promise of a house for just about everyone-the American Dream as they like to say. And two is a promise of incredibly low mortgage interest rates. Voices from Washington continue to talk about mortgage rates of 4.5% or lower.

To deliver on all of this, the government has only two choices. One is to become a mortgage bank. In other words buy the loans originated by the private sector and hold them or two to buy them, package them as mortgage backed securities and sell them off. The second alternative can only succeed if the government attaches its guarantee to the securities as the return demanded by the private sector would surely far exceed the rates that have been promised to the individual borrowers. There may be a smoke and mirrors way in which to keep the liability off of the federal balance sheet but in reality, the obligation to make good on losses will rest with the taxpayer.

Assuming that things developed in this manner, what might be the ramifications? In the short-term probably not much. Fiscal discipline is not even subject to lip service right now so that support for the mortgage market will simply disappear into the “stimulus package”. The long-term may hold some different outcomes.

Once low mortgage rates take their place as an entitlement any reversion to a private market in which the risk is market priced will be impossible. A stream will have been crossed and there will be no turning back.

It will take some time but eventually the 1915 Cracker Jack baseball cards of banks as originators of mortgages will come to be questioned. Constraints on the profitability of mortgage origination will likely be imposed and it is probably not a stretch to imagine that the federal government might take over the business. After all, Fannie Mae has always lusted after the retail side of the business.

Once things do return to whatever normal might be then mortgages are going to become just one more line item on the federal budget. It may be hard to believe now, but eventually the country will have to pay attention to its expenditures. At that time the residential mortgage business will find itself competing with defense, health, education and whatever other initiatives that the federal government may elect to assume. One of the immutable laws of budgeting is that any program’s share of the pie tends to be relatively static and expenditures on that program only increase in line with overall budget increases. In other words, the availability of residential mortgages will not be flexible and could well fall short of the demand at some future point. In that case, rationing based on political calculus would probably be the order of the day.

As I said at the beginning, all of this probably won’t happen. But just in case, I’m going to be sure and save this post.

Since I’ve just started doing stand-up and am intrigued by what to expect in beginning a stand-up career, I’m very interested in finding out how other people began their careers, and to see what established comics can teach me. Comic Insights is exactly that book for me.

Comic Insights was edited by Franklyn Ajaye, a veteran comedian who has gotten to know many of the big names during his 20+ year career on stage. While I’ve never personally heard of him, he’s written books before and released some comedy albums as well. Jerry Seinfeld, one of the many comics interviewed, says that Ajaye was one of his influences when he was beginning, and he writes well in this book. I’ll keep an eye out for his material.

The first section of the book is Ajaye’s advice for beginners, speaking on such topics as writing material, getting over stage fright, and what to do the first time you get dejected and want to give up. This was interesting, but I was much more interested in the second section, which is where the interviews are.

And what terrific interviewees they are! Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Chris Rock, Bill Maher, Garry Shandling, and Richard Lewis are some of the bigger names in the book, but I had heard of all of the comics interviewed, and they all have succeeded where many others have failed. Some of them interviewed during the height of their careers, like Leno. Ellen DeGeneres, on the other hand, was interviewed just before she got her show deal, and so speaks of how much she would enjoy getting the chance to put together a sitcom. Hearing her write with an obvious yearning was insightful.

I think the biggest reason I enjoyed this book so much was because I am a fan of learning by doing. I don’t want a lot of theory on what makes something funny. That stuff is interesting, but I feel it is vital to practice as well as theorize, and so with anything I want to learn I focus quite a bit on practical advice and application. This book is solidly in that category, and I highly recommend it for anybody who is interested in starting a stand-up career, or is just thinking about doing so.
