I'm at home finally getting a chance to relax but my Red Phone (For Clients Emergency's Only) Rings. The phone is actuality Green and not Red. look at the caller ID and decide to pick it up anyways. It's an "old' client with a leaking faucet. Laundry Basin Hot side is a steady stream into the sink. Not what I'd consider a true emergency, and I tell the client my thoughts -- can I come tomorrow instead?

The guys says at his age, 90 Something, He's wouldn't get a moments sleep knowing he's wasting water! I then ask him to take a picture of the running faucet and text message it to me. He then says, "NFW"! I'm going to charged extra fee's for texting and sending an attached picture, NO he's not going to do that!

I then tried to explain that if I come over and a late Sunday Evening, I'm going to have to charge him TRIPLE TIME! He then ScreMs in my ear, that I'm a real "A" hole. He then asked how much. I said my normal house call for senors, times three.

Again he asked, "What is the exact amount so I can have a check ready". I said I was told NOT TO DO MONEY with him, instead, consult with his Daughter.

He agrees and I head out to his house, in Sherwood Forest, a upscale pricey part of the San Fernando Valley. He can afford a house with a pool, spa, tennis court, Stable, horse and an extended RV.

I go to his home and complete the job. He offers to pay me but I remind him that I'm going to deal with his daughter. So I leave and using the intercom system in the 6000 square foot home I call out asking where I can meet up with her. She was busy in the Study, which means the TV room with DVD's with movies not yet released to the general public.

Then all of a sudden the owner walks in an catches me hitting on his daughter. Now he's going to call the cops. I wasn't too worried. I can finish up, take a shower and be gone even before the police show up! I WAS SO WRONG! I forgot that this clients owns many food eateries, including some Donuts shops in the area. The police are there super pronto. I never got this kids of service even when I owned a Jewelry store getting robbed!

The police show up and read me my rights. I asked what's the charge? They said I was making inappropriate advances to the owners only daughter! STOP! This is not true! The police state, we caught you with your pants down, and your married man. I said let me explain. This woman is not his only daughter, only daughter by with third marriage.He has other daughters and sons by other wives.

The police as the daughter does she want to lodge a complaint? Affirmative, then starts with her list. The owner of the house starts to fell sorry and elects not to press charges. He then asked a most important question. When he's not home and I come over to do work, have I hit on his daughter before. The daughter protest and says, "Dad, that's none of your business"! Then one of the policeman ask me, "How many times before have to made out with the daughter"? I pull out my cellphone and the police asked me, "Are you keeping a diary" No, I just need a calculator. Now the daughter is horrified, my insinuation that she's maybe a slut!.

To explain, my father-in-law is a Witty Jokesster! But he play the bad memory game all of the time. Like he doesn't remember hiring me so he's not going to pay. I then said I will sue and take one of your cars for payment. BTW, I never ever charged him for anything I've ever done to his house. His rentals, another story.

And the police! They opened up a sub-station and he likes to call them over every month for free custom donuts from his doughnut factory.

The last time i was going to a family dinner, I was asked to bring some Bagels and Lox. I showed up with 3 dozen assorted bagels and some heavy duty warehouse locks. I hope you get my joke. I the pulled out my rolling refrigerator/freeze with a real compressor a/c and D/C. HAVING a fine assortment of three types of wild lox smoked to perfection.

Glad to see the grief from local government and friends who don't realize how lucky they are to have your help, is not preventing you from being able to enjoy your life.

Keep it up!!! You've earned it.
