Don't threaten me with a good time

I heard this quote today on television. It was one of those reality shows full of the hunting of wild animals and it shall remain nameless because....well....it's embarrassing to admit it. 

Its usage would be something like this:

 "I'm never taking you to another employee softball game. Ever."

"Don't threaten me with a good time." 

I've spent many hours today trying to correct structural damage, not to mention sagging floors. 

What did Barbie do when she bought this house? Maybe it's like the way she's portrayed in those cartoon movies in a floaty pink peignoir singing "I'm Wishing" from the Snow White soundtrack. 

I've already dealt with reinforcing the floors because her subflooring was completely gone. I mean...who doesn't notice a thing like that? I've had to deal with foundation problems. I've been using shims and a small wedge and that works, or seems to work, however, when I examine it, it still seems to be sagging. It sags on one side and I insert a few shims. Then I look at it from another angle and it looks like it's sagging on the OTHER side. It's like the Sneetches with their Star Off machine.

I knew this wasn't going to be a quick project. I used to tell my students who hurried through writing projects announcing to me "I'm finished!" after 5 or 10 minutes. I always said, "When you think you're done, you've only just begun."

On a final note, I need some more real estate. I wanted to have a backyard but the house takes up the whole table. Perhaps I can employ a small telephone table or something similar where I can display my gazebo.
