Elmo for Belmo
My husband sent me a text the other day: "Lmo died". What does Lmo mean? Who died? Elmo? Was this a typo? I pondered for a few moments before I concluded that Lmo must be his abbreviation for LAWN MOWER, which had recently been sputtering and gasping for breath with each use. I called him to express my sympathies, and he already had a new one scoped out. We were so excited! This would be our first real NEW lawn mower! And to top it off, Lowe's gave my husband a military veteran discount of 10%. We are now the proud owners of a brand new Troy-Bilt pushmower that starts on the first pull and runs wonderfully. It's name is Elmo... my husband wrote it on the mower with a Sharpie. Lmo lives!

Hi, that is too cute. I used to work at Lowe's here where I live and I remember giving those military discounts. They used to not give them unless it was a holiday, or a customer threw a fit about it during any other time. I enjoyed reading your posts, made me laugh. See you in class.
