To cry or laugh. I choose to laugh. We had a little drama during the remodeling of our home here on Kauai so we could sell it.\u00a0 Let me set the scene.\u00a0 We order a sink only later to find out it will not fit, leaving exposed edges.\u00a0 This obviously would have made us look like amateur hillbilly&#8217;s, and that&#8217;s a hard thing to accomplish. But here on Kauai there&#8217;s not a lot of inventory to select from, and the plumber, who is also the owner of a dive company, was already scheduled for diving classes.\u00a0 This meant we had to go a few days without a sink, which is also connected to the dishwasher.\u00a0 So this left only one alternative, wash our dishes while we shower, nothing glamorous like singing in the rain. I kid you not.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do?\u00a0 You can first curse &#8211; which I did, followed by drinking every Mai Tai, Blue Hawaiian, and assorted wines we had in the house &#8211; which I did.\u00a0 You can then cry over your hangover or the woes of the world.\u00a0 But, I choose to laugh and look at the funny and bright side of life.<\/p>\n<p>With all this in mind, let&#8217;s us return to the world of my now famous sing along songs, to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies for added effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Let me tell you about a story about a man named Ed,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Who moved to Hawaii so his dreams could be fed. <\/em><br \/>\n<em> Then one day while remodeling the sink the contractor said, \u201cthis model ain\u2019t going to fit.\u201d<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><br \/>\nSo poor ole Ed slumped and yelled out \u201cI can\u2019t believe this $#%&amp;\u201d. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Curse word that is, rather crude<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>The next thing you know Ed\u2019s wife is washing from the shower<\/em><br \/>\n<em> His wife said, \u201cEd get this fixed quick or I\u2019m going to get sour.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<em> He made the mistake of saying, \u201cHey babe you\u2019re still in paradise\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<em> That\u2019s when she clocked him upside the head with kitchen merchandise.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Lead skillet that is, hard and painful<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Well now it&#8217;s time to say<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Goodbye to Ed and all his remodeling fun,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> He told his wife no more homes with potential,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> or he\u2019s going to get a gun.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> You&#8217;re all invited here to share the insanity<\/em><br \/>\n<em> As long as you can wash dishes from the bathroom vanity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now surely my fellow readers you have some humorous tales of life gone sour.\u00a0 Shout out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have two choices in life.
