LIZ TAYLOR MARRIED RICHARD BURTON TWICE AND THEN DIVORCED HIM AGAIN. SHE SAID IF HE'D LIVED LONGER SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE MARRIED HIM AGAIN. INSTEAD HER FIFTH OR SIXTH HUSBAND WAS A PLUMBER LIZ MET IN REHAB. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BEFORE OR AFTER THE SENATOR.
IT WORKS IF YOU WORK IT . SO WORK IT. YOU'RE WORTH IT. WE BUY OLD CARS,SPEND MONEY FIXING THEM AND THEY BREAK DOWN. IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I USED TO BUY NEW AMERICAN CARS THAT ALWAYS BROIKE DOWN BEFORE THEY LOST THE NEW CAR SMELL. FINALLY I STARTED TO BUY JAPANESE CARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AGAIN. WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD GO ON AN AMERICAN CAR, THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT SERVICE MANAGER WOULD TELL ME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES TOO MUCH. PARATS FELL OFF MY NEW CHEVROLET INTERIOR. THE PLASTIC PARTS WERE NEVER REPAIRED CORRECTLY UNTIL I WORTE A LETTER TO THE NEWSPAPER HELP EDITOR. SURE ENOUGH ALL THE PLASTIC INSIDE THE CAR WAS GLUED IN PROPERLY LICKEDTY SPLIT.
SO ALL WAS WELL UNTIL WE DECIDED IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIVE ANCIENT CHEAP VEHICLES. WE DON'T OWN A CAR THAT'S WORTH MORE THAN $3000. ACTUALLY MY FIRST BRAND NEW AMERICAN CAR ONLY COST $2500. IT BARELY MADE IT TO 60,000 miles. IT USED TO STALL EVERY DAY AT THE STOP LIGHT IN THE MORNING AS I HEADED FOR WORK. ONCE I GOT A TICKET BECAUSE I DIDN'T STOP AT A FLASHING RED LIGHT. I DIDN'T WANT THE CAR TO STALL. IT WAS A 1967 YELOW CAMARO. I STILL MISS THAT CAR. I GAVE IT TO MY SISTER WHOSE BOYFRIEND FOR A YEAR OR TWO WITH BALD TIRES. THEN I GUESS IT WENT TO THE BIG JUNKYARD IN THE SKY. SOON AFTER I OWNED THAT CAMARO I CRASHED IT INTO A TELEPHONE COMPANY VAN CROSSING PARK AVENUE IN NEW YORK CITY. I WAS AT FAULT. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS SLIGHTLY INJURED. MY CAR HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND REPAINTED CAMARO YELLOW AGAIN. I GOT THE BACK OF MY HEAD STITCHED AT ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL AND WENT BACK TO TEACHERS COLLEGE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TO TAKE TWO FRENCH EXAMS AFTER I WASHED THE BLOOD OFF MY MINISKIRTED DRESS. MY FATHER CAME DOWN TO NYC BY TRAIN FROM WHITE PLAINS TO HELP ME DRIVE HOME. A MONTH LATER THE CAR WAS FIXED AND LOOKING GOOD AGAIN. I DIDN'T DRIVE MUCH IN NYC AFTER THAT FOR YEARS UNTIL I GOT OVER THAT TRAUMA. MAIS OUI.
I ALMOST BOUGHT AN OLD CORVETTE(1995) FOR $6000 A FEW MONTHS AGO AT MY NEIGHBOR'S ESTATE SAL.E I HESITATED SINCE I WAS JUST GOING TO BUY THE PAPER NOT A CAR. WE HAD NO ROOM TO PARK IT. WHEN I CAME BACK,MY NEW NEIGHBOR WAS BUYING IT. SO I DODGED THAT BULLET.
I BUY A LOT OF HOUSES LATELY TOO. THEN I DECIDE I WANT TO MOVE AND SELL THEM. WITH EASY CREDIT I NOW HAVE TWO THAT I'D LIKE TO BE RID OF. BUT AFTER THE 2008 ECONOMIC CRASH, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. THE ECONOMIC CRASH STOPPED THE REAL ESTATE GAME. WE MADE A LOT AT FIRST. NOW OUR PROFITS ARE DRYING UP IN MORTGAGE PAYMENTS ON UNDER WATER HOUSES.
A GAMBLER WANTS TO LOSE. THAT'S WHAT ALL THESE BUBBLES COUNT ON. A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY DAY. ONCE I ALMOST BOUGHT AN MG. THE MECHANIC LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND SAID: DO YOU WANT A LIFE OF PAIN?" I SAID,"NO." "THEN DON'T BUY AN MG," SAID THE MECHANIC IN A VERY OFFICIAL LOOKING GREEN REPAIRMAN'S JACKET LIKE YOU WOULD SEE AT EH DAYTONA 500 AT A PIT STOP. SO I DIDN'T.
SO WE NEED AN INTERVENTION BEFORE WE GET KILLED IN ONE OF THESE CLUNKERS OR LOSE ALL OUR MONEY IN REAL ESTATE. WARREN BUFFET SAYS NEVER PUT GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD TRYING TO RECOUP A LOSS. DON'T BUY,BUY.BUY. HE'S BEEN IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR 50 YEARS AND HIS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN ON EARTH.
IN ONE OF THESE CLUNKERS I TRIED TO JUMP OUT AT STOP SIGN IN NEW JERSEY 30 YEARS AGO. OUR 1985 MICHELIN TIRE BLEW INTO SHREDSLAST MONTH ON OUR 1985 MERCEDES A WEEK AFTER WE HAD THE WATER PUMP FIXED. FORTUNATELY IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. SO WAS THE EXPLODING TIRE. WE'D DRIVEN ACROSS FLORIDA AT 80MPH ON THAT TIRE. SO SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES US. BUT WE ARE PUSHING OUR LUCK.
