7-30-08 Not getting much help here

As many of you know, I was not the first gnome to join this family. Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. S welcomed into their home two gnomes who specialized at building decks. Mr. and Mrs. S were very excited to have these helpers since their deck project was daunting. Unfortunately the gnomes were not the hard workers that they appeared. Both of the gnomes claimed they were injured and refused to do any more work. For the past few years they have been “on strike” all the while watching hours upon hours of TV.

I had hoped that their strike would be over and I could start rebuilding the reputation of gnomes as having a good work ethic. Unfortunately they are just as stubborn as ever and refuse to work. I don't know how much more of this Mr. and Mrs. S can take.
