Time to Fish or cut bait (newsman)- talk about it in Sharing 4-3-8

[Lynx]

I have figured out the perfect gift to give for a wedding shower.  A box full of the little things you use in the house every day but never notice.  A spatula, salt and pepper shaker, can opener, toilet plunger (well hopefully not that one EVERY day,)  broom, dustpan, light bulbs, rubber bands, pens, pins, etc.  It would save a lot of trips to the store to get stuff when the happy couple is starting their own home, and if they already have one of something it's no great loss having an extra one.

In other news, howdy y'all!  Fairly hectic day at work today, but that made it go by faster.  We got a notice on the board that tomorrow is a normal work day, mandatory.  Eh... I didn't have any plans this Saturday anyway.

REASONS MY KIDS DO NOT NEED ANY MORE TOYS

By Tammy Rosenfeldt

~ They started off as babies who found my Tupperware drawer much more fascinating than their toy box.

~ The days I change the paper towel roll in the kitchen bring great excitement as they claim their new sword or telescope.

~ Their current toys are only exciting when I either reorganize them/put them neatly away or when I start my garage sale pile.

~ Who needs toys when jumping on my bed like the five little monkeys brings tears of laughter?

~ They are content to look at the clouds and find shapes - most recently Caleb claimed he saw Thomas the Engine. Really - just shouted it out while in the car.

~ To make one of them want to play with a toy, all I have to do is give it to the other one. Suddenly, that item becomes the best thing in the whole entire world.

~ The days I mop the kitchen floor and move the chairs into the living room are cause for adventure as they build tents and "dark, dark rooms."

~ A flashlight brings amusement to all for hours.

~ And my personal favorite - the other day they literally fought over who got to play with the fly swatter. I really wish I was kidding.

I have MISSED you!

[Chseeads]

Well, well, well.  If it isn't Shrewby....I actually was thinking of your earlier. 

Not in a good way of course.     


Been laying in the floor sleeping.  Woke up and eventually got unstiff and awake enough to get up...lol

Went out to survey for coons or critters.  Took the one gun with me, well, that thing has issues, keeps getting jammed....  Lo and behold, there was a coon out there on the fence....had to come back for the other gun....  Went back out there and couldn't get the stupid thing to chamber the bullet....it was Mr. Magoo Round #2.    Finally got that going, and blasted it...a time...or two...or...whatever....  Come to find out, dad had set a couple snares along the fence, I didn't know he had put any out up there, but it had got caught in one...yay.  And now it's old nasty tick-infested self is laying there dead....  Surveyed the compound for any other intruders or carnage, and thankfully found none....especially since the gun was out of bullets...lol 

But, these lightning bugs around here need to quit imitating coon eyes if they don't want to get shot.

Seth, to add a little spice to your militant adventures, you should use a boar-spear (OOPS, I said BOAR) or a sword!

Psssh, Lord.....

Did I recently mention the hatred of bugs?

Oh my lord.....there are, what I have learned to be - with some semblance of relief to know actually, grain mites all over the garage, particularly crawling around on all the feed bags and areas near....  Horrendous....yet a relief that it's not poultry mites....Thank God....poultry mites are nearly impossible to totally avoid when you have...poultry (imagine that)....but with some treatment for them and things on occasion, they stay at bay fairly well.... 

So these grain mites mortified me, but upon a bit of research and finding their identity, it's not so awful....I mean awful that these bugs are everywhere yes, but a relief to know they're just looking for and living on grain......

Lord.

Plus this nasty coon which is probably tick-ridden needs disposed of.

I think I'm just going to set everything on fire and burn the whole place to the ground. 

That'd also get rid of the roaches that live in the cages and buildings around that apparently also eat bird feed....


Good night, Irene.....

Alright now, don't everybody post at once! Man, it's dead in here. Echos almost as much as Mini's head. 


And Hi, Lady wooby!
I am nearly through another saturday. We've had a girl in the capitol having wedding pictures taken that looks like she's all of twelve years old. There's no way this kid is old enough to get married, yet she had her entire family gathered at the capitol while she was photo'd in a wedding gown. Perhaps I'm just getting old and everyone looks younger....

In the words of the great Confuse-Us, "When you have nothing to say, say nothing."

I have nothing to say except Grandma and I went out for breakfast and I'm still full.  Even supper might come a bit too soon for my appetite.

Keep your snide comments and your 12 year old brides in Arkansas...

And it's Arkansas after all.....I mean, c'mon.  12 is plenty old enough.

Spilled jet fuel on me...I smell like....jet fuel.
