Last night I received an email advising me of an amazing deal on an item (a pancake compressor, of course) which I hadn't here-to-fore known to be in existence, much less that I would be found "personally lacking" for not having one.

This morning on my Facebook page I received word of an important provider of Pool Ladder Escutcheons. I'm sure these are quite important to some people, mostly those who own and/or operate swimming pools. I'm not sure that this is something I need to receive notification about in such urgent fashion. Perhaps I'm wrong.

There you are! (I don't get it, either...)

If I had a pool I might need those but I think I can live without a pancake compressor!

Kerry might be on to something.

Actually, maybe an escutcheon is what you get after you have compressed your pancakes and removed their centers?

COULD THE LADDER AND COMPRESSOR INDUSTRIES BE IN CAHOOTS?

(What sizes do cahoots come in anyway?)

I don't know they look like something the guys use for target practice. It would safe a few AOL disc at any rate. Kind of expensive but hey as long as the guys are happy.

If you don't shave your escutcheon, you don't need one.

This is quite amusing. You have my kind of humor! I do little pieces like this on local news sometimes. Thanks again for the connection and commenting on my little disaster story.
