   ML>i know that feeling... i don't even know what a budget is any more...   
      
     Except for a nasty 6 letter word. :P   
      
   ML>ha! i don't seem to have that particular problem like other folks do... not   
   ML>even with green things like brussel sprouts...   
      
     There was a commercial several years ago...I think it was for Tractor   
   Supply Company. This family is gathered around the dinner table, and   
   first, thanking The Lord for the food He had provided, and for His   
   Blessing and Protection, etc. The family dog is under the table, as if   
   praying as well. As soon as the father says "Amen", and the folks begin   
   to graze, the dog bounds out from under the table, and heads upstairs.   
      
     He pulls open a chest of drawers, and starts digging around, looking   
   for an item. He does this several times, until he finds out what he   
   wants...a gas mask!! It turns out the family is consuming beans,   
   legumes, and other items that cause severe flatulence. :P   
      
     Having found his prize and putting it on, the dog rushes back to the   
   kitchen, and the family has been completely oblivious to the dog's   
   actions. Fido lays down, contentedly, under the table, with the gas mask   
   on.   
      
     The announcer comes on and says "We have what you need"...and then, it   
   shows the logo for Tractor Supply Company.    
      
   ML>my dad bought me a 42 inch Carhart belt for christmas one year... i was tryi   
   ML>to loose weight then... he said it was "future planning" which i understand    
   ML>we both got a laugh off of it... i've gotta see if i can find the leather pu   
   ML>and add two more holes to it... right now, i don't even have to unbutton or   
   ML>unzip my pants to put them on or get them off... somewhere i should have som   
   ML>of my older smaller waist jeans but the question is if they are in any shape   
   ML>be wearing...   
      
     I like the one, where after a meal, Daddy has to loosen his belt. One   
   of his kids, tells his friend (who had joined them for dinner), "Daddy   
   just moved his decimal point over a few places".
