The boar don't jive in Sharing 445

[Chseeads]

Well, I cooked my eggs in olive oil because it appeared we're out of fake butter, and it's a bit much...bleh...  Maybe just used a tad much....have used it before but it seems like I can taste it this time.

Oh well....Guess I can pray over it and anoint my innerds while I'm at it. 

[Lynx]

Howdy y'all.  Gonna be a big ole day for me.  I have a laptop, a spare hard drive I swapped out, and a copy of Windows XP to install.  Spare hard drives are great, you can install whole different operating systems without having to worry about messing up the bootloader.  Then install drivers, programs, then make a backup image of the whole thing so I'll never have to do it again. 

The "I'll never have to do it again" part is the major draw here.

[Chseeads]

Went out to sell guineas...and something flew into the back of my neck and stung me minorly....

I hope I'm alright.  I'm not allergic to stings.  But, being the hypochondriac that I am, anytime I get stung I spend the next several hours waiting to die. 

So I feel like my throat is swelling shut...especially since it was on the back of my neck....

When in actually, my throat looks just fine and is wide open. 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Take a benedryl and a nap.

[Chseeads]

OH MY LORD, now you ARE trying to kill me. 

I won't take Benedryl anymore.  They make me feel like I am dying.  They make me feel like the systems in my body are just slowly grinding to a halt and like my heart might just stop beating at any given moment.

No thanks.

[Roscoe]

Poor Cheese. I actually worked a call one time where a young man of 19 had an allergic reaction to something and died. His throat had swelled shut and he was gone before we could get medical help there. Sad.


And in sharing- I've been out cleaning up the yard of the remains of my late dogwood tree.  I REALLY loved that tree, but apparently life was too much for it. We cut it down yesterday- or most of it. The top branches were dry and dead, but the lower one third appeared to still be alive. I spoke with a neighbor who enjoys gardening, and he said that it *might* recover if we simply topped it and left a stump around four feet tall.... I don't have much hope for it, but it's worth a try, as it was showing some green shoots from the lower part of it.

And I also went to town and got a tire on the truck. I had to argue with Walmart- they told me when I brought the truck in that they had the tire I needed for $61. I tell them to put it on and I go shopping. Thay called me back to the tire area to tell me they didn't have the tire after all, but had one for $71. They asked me if I wanted it. I said yes- for $61. I told them that they had sold me a tire for that amount and that's what I was going to pay. Had to talk with a manager, but he agreed with me and gave me the higher priced tire for $61.

Then, Chey and I went to the library where I turned in some over due books. Don't know why they were so annoyed- I just borrowed them in June.....of 2006. Hey, I brought 'em back.

Fixing to start making dinner preparations and finish the yard.....

[Chseeads]

Well thanks for telling me that uplifting story, Officer.





So you cut your dogwood tree down to where it's just a little higher than your head, huh?

[Roscoe]

You're quite welcome. You sounded as though you could use the cheering.

And on the tree height comment- Come help me haul away the branches you lazy oaf. I'm doing that AND cooking dinner- chicken breast in  alabama "white bbq sauce".... I'd never heard of such a thing until Taco, Mini and I were conversing of bbq. Taco told mini about it, mini got curious and found a receipe online and sent it to me and I'm trying it. Sauce is done- think of a thinner tanger ranch dressing, kinda. Might be a keeper. Think I'll add garlic mashed tators to the menu, and maybe some ranch beans.....

Sounds good.

One of my favorite bbq places is having a special tonight.  Every dinner is 1/2 price.  So we are meeting friends over there and gonna chow down!

Today turned out to be a crazy day.  Was fixing to leave out and head to the church to do some work, when my phone rang.  A jet had a problem and "flamed out", ie, the engine died.  That was 20 miles east of the airport, and at 11,000 feet.  He made it to the airport fine, but had no brakes when he landed.  They operated off of hydraulic pressure, so, no engine, no hydraulic pressure.  Oh, and and his gear collapsed when he landed.  Again, they operated off hydraulic pressure...so...no engine, no gear.  This is what I found:



No one was hurt, thank goodness.  And the pilot did a perfect landing, given the situation.  He wasnt to worried about the jet either.  It was only $30,000 (very very cheap).  So hes gonna go buy another one...LOL

[Lynx]

That's um... cheap, yes.  I know of a lot of cars that cost more. 

[Roscoe]

Sounds good.

He didn't have any kind of manual crank or lock down device for the gear? I thought they all had some sort of device like that for emergencies. And "only $30k"?!? Man, I wish I had his money and he had a feather in his ear. We'd both be tickled pink.

[Chseeads]

Fixing to go to church.


Just so you all know, I didn't die.  I think the danger has passed.  *cough*

[iridiscente]

You should start a thread with just all of your cool colloquialisms!

Colloquialisms?!? Lawd, I almost had to look that up. Sadly- I'm country enough, that's just the way I talk.  I don't even notice when I say some of these things- I thought everybody said 'em.  I grew up around more old folks than I did people my own age. Guess I get some of the sayings from them.

[Lynx]

"Yep that looks as pretty as a little red wagon going up a hill."

"What does that mean?"

"Ah that's just something you city folk expect us country folk to say." 


All joking aside, colloquialisms are prevalent in this area.  She's as mad as an ole wet hen, he looks like a cat who just ate all the cream (smug), this place is a pigsty (messy) or this place is so clean you could eat off the floor.  Or if it is really messy, it's so clean you could eat off the floor - and get a good five or six meals.

[Chseeads]

Weirdos. 


You're all like a fluttermill on a goose's butt.





I am TIREEEEEEDDDDD...and I have to go tend the fowl still...lord....

[Chseeads]

Or maybe you're not all like that, since you all shut upped..... 

[Babs]

* Babs kicks Seth in the shin really hard then goes to

[Chseeads]

Speaking of fluttermills....

[Babs]

* Babs wakes up, punches Seth and goes back to sleep

[Melody]

Babs is a violent sleep walker, pass it on...

Missions conference tomorrow...err today.

We are moved in but not all unpacked.  The kids love the yard, so does little Ollie dog.   We've ate too much fast food this week. I feel gross.

I can't remember if I've ever heard Bro.Bernard speak in person.  He's preaching tomorrow & Bro. Markham is doing the SS hour.  Sherry missionaries are also having their munchkin dedicated in there.  What a lucky kid!

Ok, so the booths are built, painted, tables & center pieces done, foodware prepared for 300 ppl, clothes layed out, 99% of   ;)delegation done, menus & tickets printed out...

And I realize @ 1am, I spelled dessert wrong. I am not reprinting & curing out 300 more by 6 am. Every body's just going to know I'm practically illiterate.   

Now to figure out how to secure a pretty scarf to my head/ hair. I'm dressing Moraccan. It's basically like wearing a choir robe. 

God Bless you alls. Happy Sunday!

[Chseeads]

Hot glue. 

[Lynx]

Braid it into your hair.  Takes more time but it would look pretty.

But then I'm a guy, what do I know about pretty?  I'm not even wearing a tie today, just a pullover shirt, pants and shoes.

[Chseeads]

Thanks for wearing pants today.  Everyone appreciates that.
