Cajun Math
A construction site boss was interviewing men for a job, when along came Boudreaux. The boss thought to himself, "I'm not hiring that ole lazy cajun..."
He decided to set a test for Boudreaux, hoping he wouldn't be able to answer the questions, and he'd be able to refuse him the job without any problems.
The first question the boss asked was, "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." Boudreaux says, "Dat's easy," and draws three oak trees. The boss says, "What the hell's that?" Boudreaux says, "Tree 'n' tree 'n' tree makes nine."
The boss says, "Fair enough." "Second question, same rules, but this time represent 99."
Boudreaux stares into space for a while, then makes a smudge on each tree. "Dere ya go, sir," he says. The boss scratches his head and asks, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" Boudreaux says, "Each tree is dirty now! so it's dirty tree, 'n' dirty tree, 'n' dirty tree...dat's 99!"
The boss, now is getting worried he's going to have to hire him, so he says, "All right, question three. Same rules once again, but this time represent the number 100."
Boudreaux stares into space again, then shouts, "I got it!" He then makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and says "Dere ya go, sir. 100." The boss looks at Boudreaux's attempt and thinking that he's got him this time.
"Go on Boudreaux, you must be crazy if you think that represents a hundred." Boudreaux leans forward and points to the marks at the tree bases, and says, "A little dog comes along and craps by each tree, so now ya got, dirty tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a turd, an dirty tree an' a turd, which makes a hundred! So when can I start workin'?

Webster had his appt with the neurologist yesterday and it went well. We do LOVE the Dr..he is awesome. He increased his Keppra since he had the one breakthru seizure in April. Other than that he was pleased. I got home exhausted...and had to make tons of phone calls about my OWN meds. There was a mix up and I REALLY depend on the Cymbalta(which is my anti anxiety meds) When Bob first told me there was a problem and he couldn't pick it up I began to panic...I had 2 days worth left...and I recalled how scary the withdrawal was from the old meds, how Awful it was when first on the Cymbalta since it makes your brain chemicals go wild... and I know that with Cymbalta the withdrawal can be bad... so I started to get upset...but then the Cymbalta worked and made the panice go...lol... which made BOB Panic... thinking of me NOT on the meds... I called and called and have to say my insurance co. was amazingly helpful. We finally figured it out and Bob went for the meds today... BUT>.. phonecalls stress and tire me...so last night after I was done I watched a little tv with Bob and just went to sleep early....not coming on here. I hate to miss a weekday on here!
but ill get to see family I've never seen but talk with by phone and FB .. And family I haven't seen in many years ... Yay .. So it will be a great get together .. My great aunt was 94 I believe .. And lived a wonderful life .. She died peacefully in her sleep at her home ..with her son ... What a wonderful way to go !!
