Bingo and the pool

This Bingo at Lake Ashton  should be for the residents only, not the people on the outside!  Why are they charging so much to buy the bingo cards?  Where are all this money going?  Why is Bingo not paying state taxes on the concession stand?  Why are they in much trouble with the state?  You people will never know because you just don't give a damn and you can't read it in the L A Times.   More employee's must be hired at the gate because of all the Bingo players driving in.  Bingo should be for residents only not for outside residents.  Now you  have a security guard in the pool area, you are now enjoying your time at the pool and this security guy comes up and ask for ID.  What a community this is.  It's for all the people in the area.  This is a  Public community, not a private one.  Sorry folks, I don't make the rules.  Because you bought your home here doesn't mean it's a great community.  You can't walk freely in Lake Wales without getting mug. Even living in this community you home is a target for robbery.

This new community

We can place a for sale sign in front of our house in our new community.  Try doing that at Lake Ashton.  Larry Maxwell wants 3 ½ % of the sale.  He gets more than the person  that sells the home.  That is why you can’t place a for sale sign in front of your house.  Its money in his pocket and he does not give a damn about you selling your home.  No side walks at Lake Ashton.  We have two wide side walks 7 ft. wide on each side of the road.  Plus we have a standard wide roadway with a white line on each side of the main road for bicycles.  We even have a walking trial with sidewalks.  Not at Lake Ashton, you have nothing.   Lake Ashton is a “Walk in the road community“.   At Lake Ashton there are approx 75 homes for sale in a community of 1200 homes.  Here in this community you have less than 10 homes for sale out of approx 1200 homes.  This alone tells you something.  People love it here and made a very wise choice.    The  driveways in front of each home are over 45-60ft long.  Larry Maxwell tries to cut corners just to save money in his pocket.  I had to park my truck in the arc of the garage door to make it fit in the driveway.

one little word up

Read until the end ... You'll laugh.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].


It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?


At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officersUP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. 


At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.


To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. 


And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixedUP about UP!


To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. 


If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. 


When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . My time is UP!


Oh . . . One more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

A picture is worth a thousand words

"Note: Stacked here are every page of Obamacare regulations published through last week. The newest ones are the stack at the bottom. On the chair, next to the stack is the original 2,700 page Obamacare legislation. This stack is 7 feet 3 inches high." 

No Sidewalks

Walking in the road is like walking in a bowling alley lane, you never know when your going ton get hit.  You got to keep an eye in front of you and in back of you.  This is a 60 Plus community with NO sidewalks?  How dumb can you get.  Anything to save a buck Mr Developer.

Bingo Paul Pontious

Where is Bingo Pontious?  Did he get sick from all that food he bought with all that Bingo Money?  He spend well over $50,000 for dinners for himself and all his dear crooked friends.  He couldn't get enough of his friends in his car so he hired a bus.  No, he didn't take them to McDonald's but to the finest Brazilian restaurant in the state.    Anything to get their vote.  That is why, they control the community, the CDD and the HOA.  Yes Paul is very sick.  I guess I won't hear him call me a idiot in front and in back and at the clubhouse.  I have not gotten any more nasty letters from Paul!  What the matter Paul, you writing hand is getting weak?  BINGO

June Young and the HOA

If you should forget to pay your HOA bill for $60.00 you will be fined $50.00 by the HOA.  If you have a question about the fined you must call JUNE YOUNG.  The bill is only $60.00 but the outrages fined is $50.00.  What a hell of a place  Lake Ashton is.

Margo Steavens

I wonder what she is doing now?  Having fireside  meetings why she lost?  She had to be one of the dumbest person ever to run on the CDD.  I hope I never see that woman again.  I see that her husband is not taken any more pictures!  I wonder what he is doing now?  Maybe someone stole his camera.

F15

There I was, just flying along, enjoying the flight at 20,000 ft, minding my own business

And what's so cool is they actually pay me to do this!

When……Hmmm... What's that strange sound? Something feels different!

Hey, why am I looking up?

Whoa there. What the hell?? Controls aren't working.

Time for a mirror check... Hey, where's the rest of my F-15?

Uh oh, it's over there... I think I've got a definite'………………. Aw, sh*t' What the hell is going on here.

I gotta wonder, am I the first guy to ever experience a 'cockpit-airframe separation anxiety attack'??

OK, enough is enough!... I'm outta' here! But first, the canopy has to go.

Phew…………. At least that’s now out of the way…… OK, now it's my turn. I'm gonna be gone as soon as I find that frickin' lower handle.

Got it…… I’m gone !!!!!!

This 'incident' caused the USAF to ground its fleet of F-15's.

How about the guy who took these pictures? Just when it looks like it's going to be just another 'average day at the office'..What caused a mid-air break up?
The main "longeron" (stringer) behind the cockpit failed due to corrosion. Talk about being in the right place at the right time (the photographer)...or the wrong place at the wrong time (the pilot)..... AMAZING PICTURES.
