So many of us women have been in abusive relationships with men who demean, hit, mock, control and in general do everything in their power to whittle us down to nothing. If you are in a relationship you're not comfortable with because of any of these behaviors, You Are Not Crazy is an excellent resource providing insight for understanding your situation, and encouragement to give yourself permission to leave.

Getting Down to Basics

Friday, November 13, 2009 at 8:36AM

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm in the mood for something humorous for a change. The following are real classified errors which were published in a small-town daily:

(Monday) FORE SALE -RD Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Phone 555-0707 after 7 pm and ask for Mrs Kelly who lives with him cheap.
(Tuesday) NOTICE-We regret having erred in RD Jones's ad yesterday. It should have read: One sewing machine for sale. Cheap. 555-0707 and ask for Mrs Kelly who lives with him after 7 pm.
(Wednesday) NOTICE-RD Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in his classified ad yesterday. His ad stands corrected as follows: FOR SALE-RD Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 555-0707 and ask forMrs Kelly who loves with him.
(Thursday) NOTICE-I, RD Jones, have NO sewing machine for sale. I SMASHED IT. Don't call 555-0707, as the telephone has been disconnected. I have NOT been carrying on with Mrs Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper, but she quit.

And here's some real news headlines which are bound to give you a chuckle or two:

Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim
Enraged Cow Injures Farmer With Axe
Plane Too Close to Ground, Crash Probe Told
Miners Refuse to Work After Death
Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant
Stolen Painting Found by Tree
Two Sisters Reunited After 18 Years in Checkout Counter

And last but not least, here are some funny signs and notices:

Sign in a Laundromat: Automatic washing machines: Please remove all your clothes when the light goes out.
Sign in a London department store: Bargain Basement Upstairs
In an office: After tea break staff should empty the teapot and stand upside down on the draining board.
On a church door: This is the gate of Heaven. Enter ye all by this door (this door is kept locked because of the draft. Please use side door.)
Outside a secondhand shop: We exchange anything---bicycles, washing machines, etc. Why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain?
Sign in a cafeteria: Shoes are required to eat in the cafeteria. In pencil beneath the sign: Socks can eat anyplace they want.
Sign on a music library's door: Bach in a minuet.
Sign in a restaurant window: T-bone steak, $1. Then, in fine print underneath: With meat, $12.
A hardware store in Oregon has a sign that reads: Today's special. Below it says, So's tomorrow.

I like the church door one and the Bach sign.

Poor Mr. RD Jones. He's so misunderstood. Those are too cute.
