What else can go wrong?

Yesterday, my adding machine broke that was supposed to be heavy duty. Last week, I could not do any returns for two days since I had no electric or Heating due to an ice storm. About 3 weeks ago I had coronavirus, something powerful, that almost put me in the hospital and obviously couldn't work much. The good news is that bad things happen in threes, so I should be okay for a while. I hope that is true, because if I see an owl hooting on top of my roof, then I will be pondering....😉😄

Maybe we should keep our distance from you so none of that bad luck rubs off on us 😉

You should buy a lottery ticket cause you're due for some good luck.

I'm waiting one day to have a dream of the actual Powerball drawing and then I will play, I have a feeling it is coming.. I guess I'm a little superstitious huh?

I hope that dream comes to you soon so you can quit this crazy business and enjoy life.

No,  you guys will be okay, it's just me... When you take Southern European, and mix it with East European, German, Hungarian Nobility, and Ashkenazim, then you get unique superstitious me....

I am the result of a mixed marriage.  My mom clung to her Norwegian roots and my dad was proud of his Slovenian roots.  A few years back I spit in a bottle and sent it in to ancestry.com.  When they got done shaking up that bottle of spit I found out that I am actually 57% Scandinavian and 43% an Eastern European mix.  Sounds like a couple of those Vikings did a road trip to Eastern Europe and found true love.

By the way, the heavy duty adding machine that FedEx just brought, which model?

I have to replace mine - been using a spare.  My old one was a Sharp that I bought in 1989.  Finally broke down last year. 

Exactly what my grandpa said about his shoes: "They don't make things like the old days any more.  This pair lasted only 30 years...."  


Sounds like accountants talking.  Other people talk about cars, boats, airplanes, etc, and accountants get excited over talking about adding machines.
