Didn't you mean St. Joseph? I think the St John statue is what you plant upside down in a flower pot and put on top of your toilet tank when your Citrucel isn't doing it's job!

Thanks, I meant St Joseph. Also, you must dig him up after the sale, or bad karma on you.

Thanks Skyguy, I needed this laugh tonight! St Joseph worked for us! The problem is i forgot to dig the little bugger up and bring him with us to TV! Not sure what dire fate that will bring upon us!

I recently emailed that little St Joseph trick to a friend in NC who is desperate to sell her home! She emailed me back and asked if she should get adult or children's!

The St. Joseph statue worked for us when we sold 3 homes ago in 2009. Afterward we went back and neither of us could find the statue where we buried it. However, mostly good has befallen us ever since then, but that might be because St. Joseph is my patron saint and he's looking out for me. If so, I thank him as he's done a good job of it.

BTW, they say that if you don't like your neighbor you can bury the statue facing their house and their house will sell. Before we sold in 2009, I was tempted to do that to my neighbor directly across the street. He was a butinsky and a general PIA!

Wendy, it must be past my bedtime. I missed the humor the first time around. Need to thank you back for the laugh!

At golf yesterday we were discussing it and wondering how she and St. Michael had a falling out. I am not sure what St. Michael does. I remember that prayer, St. Michael the archangel, defend us in this day of battle......

I bet there is an interesting back story, perhaps we'll read about it in the local newspaper?

Yes, baseball bats, and I'm so relieved we can now take small knives on board.

This is obviously off topic, but very interesting. If anyone hears any details about this landscaper, please let us know.
