UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Well, I officially have caved in under extreme LSL and SS webcam pressure. I have survived a suicide watch, and I'm now about to suffer the most ultimate embarrassment of all, the planting of St. Joseph in the front yard, upside down facing the street. Yes I know his name looks backwards on the box but it is the infamous St. Joseph in all his splendor. Will he work? And so the saga begins! :dontknow:

Just remember where you buried him JohnnyM. Had a neighbor who kept on having to go back to discover where she had put him. :joke: Good luck.

Thanks Tal, I know where he is at all times.

Re: Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

That's good. She does have a very funny story to tell though.

Re: Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Good luck! Don't forget the prayer and is it blessed? Don't know if that makes a difference but it sure can't hurt, right?

And St. Joseph, do your stuff. Remember your feast day is coming up and it sure would be nice if you were above ground to enjoy it.

Honestly, Johnny, I think you might have better luck with the bottle of asprin that Fumar recommends. I guess I am not desparate enough yet to be superstitious...if it works though I am buying one immediately.

Be very careful, Johnny. I planted a St. Jude statue by mistake. The house sold okay, but I used half the money to buy Enron stock and bet the other half on the Patriots.

Muncle, St Jude was a saint for desperate causes, I believe. Maybe I should have planted him too!

MUNCLE
Now thats funny !!!!!!

broken up fumar ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

I agree: It can't hurt. But is this for real? I always consider anything possible, generally speaking, but I myself tend to be a bit skeptical....

SidneyL the lady in the Church office where they sell these by the gross says "oh yes, this works". She sold my wife on the idea and for $9.00 what is the harm. I will however keep track of the date: Officially buried March 1, at 11:00am.
The funny thing at about 3pm yesterday (Sat) our realtor called and said she was bringing a couple over this morning tween' 10 & 11am to show the house. Hmmmm I will keep you posted! Johnny ;)

Johnny and Barbara,

Oh, I will hope and pray that it works. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna plant one too even though I don't need to sell it in order to move to TV but it sure will help with the financial obligations.

Don't forget you need to dig the statue up and place it in a prominent location in the new home (I'd clean it off first).

Don't forget the prayers, here's the website I found (and I'm sure I'm not alone)

Good Luck!! God Bless!! Kathie

Boy thank God, and St. Joseph for you. I just said a few simple words over his upside down body. Too cold for a longer service. Thanks so much for the website, we just said the official prayer three times to make up for our blunder yesterday. As for the blessing by a priest, the lady at the church said they were all blessed when the shipment arrived there. Thanks for your good wishes, and we did purchase a CYV. We close March 31. This puts St. Joseph on real notice now. Johnny

Good luck Johnny. Our St. Joseph is ready to go in the ground the minute the
"For Sale" sign goes on.

Can't sell anything at the beach when it's cold outside.
