By the joy you feel.
Please PM me the address information where you would like your Sprinkler Buddy Pack sent. I'll send them anywhere in the USA, if you don't have a need for them yourself.

I should have gave the quote and asked what movie it came from. lol

Movie was "Papadopoulos & Sons"
It's on Netflix, the quote taken is towards the very end of the movie.

"Success is the joy you feel! Only when you lose everything, do you find it all."

Wait! Does that losing everything include my hat?

I remind myself of when I asked an old guy what gambling was like in Idaho when he moved to the state in the 40's. There was a lot of controversy about the government allowing a lottery and Indian casinos. What had things been like before '48 when the citizens shut it down.

He said, "Oh, I had a good time the first time I went out gambling. But, by the end of my night I realized I had won $4 & lost my hat."

Idaho must now have its share of state lottery and Indian gambling. Wikipedia says they are a combined $50 industry, nationally. Joy must be easier to get to around here. But, I'm holding onto my hat.

edit: combined $50 billion industry . . .

Success. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Then give up. There's no need to get ridiculous about it.

Sentiments if not the exact words attributed to W. C. Fields.
