Just put down new lawn in my backyard today... had to handwater the lawn I put in the front yesterday, but it has been overcast all day with showers promised. We have had no rain since I had the new guttering put in and the water tank installed three weeks ago, even though it threatened and rain was forecast... have been waiting to see if they are all going to work correctly, and to try out the pump on the tank, but nothing... thought for sure it was going to rain today, in fact rushed home to try and get the lawn laid out in time... waited a few hours... then finally decided it wasn't going to happen and put the sprinklers on. You can guess what happened about five minutes later (now I have turned the sprinkler off, so it will probably stop).

Anyway, long story short: You know it always rains after you wash the car... the price always drops the day after you make that big purchase etc. So what is your story that begins with "It NEVER fails!!!..."

It never fails to amaze me that you find something in the LAST place you look

spooky isnt it.

It NEVER fails....that every time time I decide to go on a diet, HERSHEY'S makes a newer, improved candy bar!

you could be in trouble there as there is always room for improvement with Hershey's :-)

on PMS week...the worst of Chocolate is delicious....:)

fair enough :-)

phil's poo-poo'ing of Hershey's is an anagram for cadbury's ... if you take certain letters out, namely the ones that aren't in Cadbury's

It never fails?...that your toast 'ALWAYS' lands Butter side down?...in among all those dog-hairs!

It never fails..you dont get stopped by a cop except the day you forget your wallet with your D.L. in it in your other pants!

It never fails when I am late for an appointment all the traffic lights are red and when I am early for an appointment they are all green.....

..and then the day your late you get stopped for running a red light & your D.L. is in your other pants..LOL :P

LOL....you crack my up Dan!

You need a cop in the family Dan.... ask my daughter, it really helps.

It never fails that whatever line I am in....it's the slow one!

It never fails...if I had a cop in the family it would be the one who wrote me the ticket!!

ROTFL......Dan you got ticket on the brain!

It never fails...I go buy a new blue helmet and walk out of the store and see another guy wearing the same helmet.

*kicks Phil* There is NOTHING wrong w/NYC plumbing tyvm!

it never fails… stay home sick and that's the one day the whole world decides to call you.

it never fails… go romping in the forbidden meadow and beat the troll to get there. *cues ominous organ music* 8•P

It never fails when I want something it never, I mean never, goes on sale!

I'm on sale baby.

LOL.....sorry, credit card is over the limit...

*sticks tongue in cheek*

but… she said… the things she WANTS 8•P

The Blue Man is Caedes Blue Light Special !!!

You girls have crushed me...torn me asunder...I am useless. *this always works...the sympathy thing*

It never fails....just when you think somebody's your friend...the knife gets ya right between the shoulder blades....

Ok....what's wrong....speak at me.

It never fails.. a day or two after you bought something it goes on sale somewhere else for much less!

It never fails...you have to do a big poddy and all the stalls are full.

It never fails...you find an empty one but the toilet won't flush.

and theres no toilet paper..of course you dont find that out til after the fact..

Then there is no soap or towels and you have to dry your wet hands on your pants!

It never fails..in the minute you sneak out of the movie to use the bathroom you missed a key part of it & it makes no sense after that..

there can be no traffic whatsoever... the minute i try to make a u-turn, or double park, there's a non-stop flow of cars...

... that the other person in the restroom takes offense to you using their pants to dry off your hands when there are no towels.

Huh, go figure. :oP

Ahh, what the hey ... one more for good measure ...

... the one time ... you were truly being more flattering than truthful, when it came to a dinner that was cooked ... that ... that is the time that gets marked for all of eternity and yep, you guessed it ... you ... my friend have been doomed to eat that wonderful meal of burned meat (at least I think it was) and beets (*shudders at the thought of beets*) with lumpy mashed potatoes (*shudders at the thought of beet juice merging with ... anything*) ... each and every time you visit 'Auntie's place.'

"Ohhh, I made your favourite ... come on in ... dinner will be ready soon!"

Those Jimmy Choo's you've been saving up a year to get, are discontinued as soon as you finally have enough money saved up!!

It never fails to amaze and exhaserbate me that the flag on the moon videos is moving in the wind........? (Waits for backlash and departs in his spaceship).

it never fails to amaze me that my new works aren't popular until at least one year after posting...seriously!

it doesnt really move - its supported by a cross beam and there is lots of 'wind' in space - we have the sun to thank for that :-)

There is no wind on the moon Phil. It has no atmosphere.

*kicks nikoli in balls* ok anyway... it's ok it's not like its the end of the world...but it has happened to me before to so yeah...

Whaaaa !?!?

We've been to the moon? No one told me. Hmmphh!
*storms off onto another thread*

... that I am the last to know. :o(

Anyone in the market for a slightly used Betamax?

(Raises hand high) Pick me!!! I want a slightly used Betamax!!!

It never fails that when I find a TV show I absolutely LOVE, the network cancels it!!
Megas XLR, Tru Calling, Firefly, etc...

OH...and now the have cancelled Stargate SG-1 (bastards!!)

i vote to create a new religeon next time the sensus comes round, caedesians or whatever :P

I vote that you have to take the sensus...all by yourself.

aww... the jedi's became a religeon and so did the star trek nerds! heck if we get caedes.net out to the whole world, we can all be crazy!

Did you say 'can be'?

I beleive that's a myth... you can't have something declared a religion just because a certain number of people write the same word on a census form, there has to be an actual beleif system behind it and it would have to be registered with the governement somehow... otherwise you could argue that "None" or "N/A" etc would have to be declared a religion too. Anyway, back on topic please...

It never fails that I get irritated by the insanity of a certain age on Caedes .... though I admit there are wonderful exceptions ...

I vote that a certain member who shall remain namesless but posted about 9 posts before me be voted off the island.

'Jeff' .. do your dirty work and snuff out that flame ... the tribe has spoken! :oP

I say we turn them into slaves.

It never fails when you dont buy something and then go back to get it, that it is gone!!

... just when you think things can't get any stranger ... they do.

*heavy sigh*

Uhm ... group grope anyone? I mean, I mean ... group hug ... hug.

Yeah Les, be careful of what you ask for. Offering a group grope like that.. you tease. :op

it never fails that Les will make some weird and disgustiong comment

Like you chewing through his socks isn't weird & disgusting?

Oi-veh, some peoples kids.. LoL

Why else do you think we keep him around??

Ahhh ... I can feel the love. *looks around to see who is still out and about*

Uhm ... group ... er ... group ... !! Spitball Fight !!

Whacks Sam with a real big wet one on the ... wait ... that isn't going to help my image problems on the site is it? *forlorn look*

That depends on exactly what the "big wet one" you are "whacking" me with is....

Oh god... someone hold me back... that is like... Soooo loaded for some nasty comeback.. LOL

(*sits on hands*)

ROFLMAO @ Sam.... ohhhh the things I could say about that remark... but I won't .. lmao.. i'll be good..

OMFG Sam...I'm not (for once) gonna go there!!! Oh the images in my minds eye...IT BURNS!!!
That was too funny!!!

It never fails that Sam will manage to say something that will amazingly, get us all to shut up (and try not to wet ourselves in the process)

hmm, was that in fact a sublte hint at solicitation?

OK Rob....errrrrr.....Bob.....errrr Madonna.....whoever you are.....ummmmm.....who are you anyway?

It never fails just when you want to go swimming in the ocean a bunch of shark attacks hit the headlines...

When's the last time you saw a shark eat a newspaper?

Well, they do it when they need that extra bit of fiber for when they eat those old disarded Liscence Plates.

I once ate some shark wrapped in newspaper, does that count?

a-la fish-n-chips?

It never fails....Curt kills a thread.

never fails… when you want a nice fun evening… DRAMA ensues. *hangs head in hands*

It never fails..the item your interested at the store doesnt have a tag on it or the shelf..AND It also never fails at that same moment there isnt a clerk anywhere around to check on the price!

in a related post, it never fails that when you have exactly what you want, have all of the money needed to pay for it, SOME knucklehead in front of you will have the ONE problem that'll take an hour to resolve.

Uhm ... ok Rob. I can understand and appreciate your frustration at having to ... nahhh, just foolin' ... !! Spitball Fight !!

Whacks Rob with a real big wet one on the ... wait ... that didn't quite work out as well as I had hoped last time ... pfffft! ... no matter ...

!! ~ Spitball Fight ~ !!

Whacks allll thread participants with a real big wet one on the ... :oP

GAACKKKK! ok, my canuckadian friend...you shall PERISH!!! *crumples up a whole page, chews it til it's good and sloppy...doesn't even bother to load it in anything, and just lobs it right at Les*

GAACKKKK! ok, my canuckadian friend...you shall PERISH!!! *crumples up a whole page, chews it til it's good and sloppy...doesn't even bother to load it in anything, and just lobs it right at Les*

Right here sucker!!! *blasts him with a bazooka*

*incoherent mumblings are ... once again ... heard emanating from a hole in on top of his shoulders*

^$&@^@***NNNSwwh_)!~~

You can say that again.

^$&@^@***NNNSwwh_)!~~

It never fails that no matter what topic you start on, in this forum it will end up incoherent gibberish (or mumblings, as the case may be).

I resemble that remark !

It never fails that the object on the floor, that you are to lazy to bend over and pick up, and you wonder if it will clog your vacuum cleaner .. DOES in fact clog your vacuum cleaner

and.... It never fails, that the next time you vacum and see such a thing on the floor, you always seem to forget the experience from that last time you vacumed, and make the same mistake yet once again.

Naw .. I think a little vindictive pride is in there somewhere ... a little .. "I'll Show YOU" ... and a dash of .. "TAKE THAT !!"

Jeez... you guys need a pet that will eat anything not moving !

I have a cat that pee's where my roomates 3 yr old grand daughter sits.

After she's moved on, I hope...

it never fails...to rain when you leave the umbrella at home, and NOT rain when you DO take it.

it never fails that as soon as you crack open the newspaper for a peek to pass the time while a long light stays red.... it changes the second you see seomething interesting..

it never fails that the parking spot you see across the street.... as soon as you get there...someone's gotten there first...

It never fails...when you're in a hurry and the light turns green...there's a doofus in the car in front of you reading a newspaper that makes you sit thru the light again....:)

it never fails.. some impatient road-rager just DYIN to zip all the way up to..the next red light ;-)

ooops, forgot i still had yesterday's gag avatar still up...

zzzzzzzzzzip.....HONK-HONK!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha

(sigh) the paper was just getting interesting :P

It never fails...when you want to solve a problem on your own then someone walks in and tells you the answer...

hello i want to find out myself =[

It never fails... that you do something as there is such a minute chance that it will go wrong, and then it does.

And...

It never fails... that you take the non-reckless route through life, and that you always wish you did at a later stage.
