Those exercise machines are totally unnecessary You gadget tummy All you Theres nothing finer for the midrlf than stretching across a top bunk tucking in the far comer Struggling flat on your back on the bottom bunk shoving an overflow of blanket under the top mattress is excellent for the tipper arms Hopping up and down a step stool while changing sheets provides a first class workout for the cardio- vascular system and sense of balance The whole process is also guaranteed to add some interest ing words to your vocabulary a bonus Flip flop birds Recently we went through even more bunk bed fun when part of the weeklySaturday morning kids bedroomcleanout included flipping the beds Pats pet mouse had been complaining about his squeaky bed so we decided to put the top one on the bottom and the bottom one on lop hoping this would solve the problem Well it was worth the try anyway Now Pats room is 10 by 10 and contains bunks TV wall desk chair bureau several shelves of models and trophies several thousand pieces of hockey equipment and a white mouse with claustrophobia Juggling bunk beds was going to take a lot of finesse First we removed the mattresses successfully dragging them across Pat bare toes and stacking them in the corner where they kept getting pushed over by the mouse Then we did the same with the support boards while Pat examined the frames and grumbled that his dreams were being held up by a narrow strip of flimsy steel and one day he come crashing down Just wait and see We were led with eight inches of floor space for the removed top bunk Erica was pressed into reluctant action She and I pulled a muscle man feat and tossed the lower bunk high in the air The actual fact was a tumble of bodies shrieking about various trapped ringers and Iocs Erica walling that she was too young to be doing this sort of thing and Pat fussing about the lost connecting pins and the general stupidity or women must have a talk to that boy I No leg Orce the top bunk was in place underneath Erica and re linquished our load with a relieved crash Erica convinced that if she got through her childhood with her sibling she would automatically be in line for sainthood Unfortunately at this time we discovered the legs of the bunk now on top didnt have holes for the connecting pins It was obviously designed to be a lower bunk and only a lower bunk The whole process had to be reversed Well its one way to get the underside of the beds dusted Epilogue all the grumbling swearing and general indications of complete disapproval when the Job was finished in Pats room Erica decided she was going to move her beds too Shell be allowed to reach her next birthday Gas thieves guzzle loot A gas guzzling thief got away with gallons of loot from a parked vehicles near the

problem pending further hours with the Community inporvements to this rather Telephone company under the Bell system and had similar problems with Bell for many years Bell is not a perfect system she But it sure is better jumbled representation subscribers One of the real problems that is introduced by this list ing procedure is that outside parties even with operator assistance cannot find list ings for friends He then noted that after calling the operator to locate a number they are charged 25 cents per inquiry At least Bell gives you the first three calls Under the Community Telephone system there are no emergency pay phone assets Wright noted that in the Bell area if there is an emergency a person may contact the operator without a dime Under Community Telephone ten cents is needed If the person making the call docs not have the money he or she is stranded Because of the limited access of the telephone sub scribers of this area there is a noticeable disincentive for us in
