That's me today because ordering curtains should be easy but has left me frazzled ! Hopefully its sorted now Hope its a good 'un for you all - just seen this, gave me a giggle Xx
Good Morning Everyone. Our humid tropical weather continues. If it was breezy I would feel better. So, it is supposed to be over by the weekend, with gradual improvement every day. I don't have the cash to go anywhere anyway, so I guess I should stop complaining, but I do work online, and I can't do it, if the internet is being knocked off all the time. Well I suppose I could..Gasp! Clean the house!!! I was supposed to meet someone today about buying one of my sale items..not sure if that is coming off or not, I will have to message her. I hope everyone has a good day, and stays dry!
A late good mornin'. our power company had the 'net shut down while they did maintenance work. But, back on the air once again. A pretty chilly mornin' here today. About 52 when I got up. I can't wait until we have a real bug killing frost. I hate bugs. Did I ever tell you about my bug hunting days? Don't try to answer with your mouth's full of eggs, toast and bacon. I'll just tell it again. At the old house I once owned, outside the back door, the grass was wore off a good sized patch of ground, about six feet away from the house. It was shady there, and out of eyesight by any nosy neighbors. I placed a wood chair against the house, dribbled a little bacon grease or some enticing morsels on the bare patch of dirt, and got comfortable on the chair. It wasn't long before insects were attracted to the bare dirt by the bait. Usually flies first, later ants and other bug life. I had an old Crosman Pneumatic air pistol. It was .22 caliber, and I always bought the flat nosed pellets. Two pumps of air was enough to quietly end a bugs miserable life. To a bug, I imagine getting hit with those flat nosed pellets was like a sledge hammer blow. And that's how I became the most feared sniper with the most bug kills during those brutal insect wars, waged in my back yard.
@Ike Willis - I'm with you Ike, don't like 'em, never have, never will I don't invite them into my home so I'm shocked to see a little blighter from time to time They should have the sense to know, this is a bug free zone, when I do all I can to make that message clear
It's not a matter of the gas. I used to drive up there for them, but my car isn't in good shape, and so I stick to very local driving for now. Hopefully at some point in the future I will be able to participate in those, and also in some of the medical trials, because I could sure use some free treatment and compensation for time and travel. I have participated in a few online diaries, product tests and online/telephone focus groups, but they're few and far between, and it seems the older I get, my opinion is less valued. Good Morning, Y'all. Happy Thursday. It's slightly cooler today, and the AC hasn't even been on all night/morning, which I love. I woke up to the squirrels bowling with pecans on the roof. I love Thursdays, because I still have time to wrap up whatever I need to do before the weekend, and I don't have to take out the trash. I still do pretty much the same thing on the weekends as on the week days, but the weekends are a little delicious time for me when I can slack off slightly, and the phone rings less. Have a great day, y'all!
Good morning, all! @Ike Willis You may want to get the Bug-A-Salt Bug and Fly Gun! Take 'em out with a grain of salt!
Yeah, I actually thought about getting one of those. Then I thought of all the nervous nellies living around me, should they happen to see it. I don't want to become another statistic or swat team victim.
Oh I know what you mean about the car @Diane Lane, my car is less than desirable too. It has these weird electrical problems that make it a challenge to drive, however, I had it inspected in March and got a lot of things fixed so I feel more comfortable driving it longer distances. However, I would not drive it over the mountains or anything that would put a big strain on it. One time we took a friend's car to go up North, and it broke down near Morgantown WV on a Sunday. It could not be fixed for like 3 days, and we had to stay in a motel, the car and the motel stay cost a bundle..No Thanks!! Not for me!
Mornin'. Another cool morning here in the land of corn and bacon. A heapin platter of corn bread and some eggs and bacon would go great with this coffee this mornin'. But, that's gotta wait until my groceries come later today, I hope. My ol' apartment seems cooler this morning. I didn't waste no time getting my pants on. Speakin of pants, that reminds me of a story. Yeah, I know, what doesn't remind me of a story. All the time I was going through grade school, I was on the receiving end of the unwanted attention of a school mate I'll call T H. He wasn't a big kid. Kind of stocky, curly hair, always wore western style shirts and boots. Me, I was only a bit bigger, and in grade school, I was kind of a wimp. I was bad at sports. Couldn't run fast enough, catch good enough, hit hard enough. I hated sports. Well, me and ol' T H had many a go round through the school years. seems T H was determined to beat the bejabbers out of me despite the fact I broke his nose in one set too. When I hit the high school scene, I was bigger, stronger and meaner. T H would seldom try me anymore. No one else did either. So, back to the pants. One night at a school basketball game, I left my seat to visit the rest room. The boy's rest room. We still knew which one to use then. I heard a voice from one of the stalls call out, "Ike. Hey, Ike". Me, "What". Voice, "Come here". Me, "Nope. I'm not into that kind of stuff". Voice, "It's T H. I need you to find my pants". Me, "What happened"? T H, "Don and Mel took 'em. My underpants too". Don and Mel were the only two black boys in our school then. Don and I were good friends. For some reason they both had a strong dislike for T H. Me, "I'll see if they're around out here", I lied. I went back to my seat and told my pals about it. Well, T H sat there in that stall until a janitor discovered him. His clothes were found in a trash can. So, never get caught with your pants, or panties down.
Ha ha ! You were a little tyke back then Ike (little devil) Reminded me of me first bra - I says to me sister, get me a bra while you're out today. I want a 'stand alone' bra I got it and it suited me just fine @Ike Willis
Good day to you all and YAY its a loverly day here, helps me a lot Hope all is fine and dandy for you all Xx
Good morning everyone! Only 90 today. I thought yesterday was Saturday, thought the same thing today....tomorrow I'm going to be right unless I think it's Sunday since today I thought was Saturday ... No plans today except to maybe do a SF Popsicle run. They're on sale at Safeway (called Von's only in Fresno for some reason) but it's Safeway. I should find out why and if it's called Vons elsewhere. Have a great day!
Good Morning and Howdy, I guess I am in a Western mode because I was just checking out the Bonanza Market. I think I am going to try listing my snowboard there. I have what I think is a very reasonable price on Cragislist and a local yardsale group..and not a nibble! I called Play it Again Sports too...It doesn't sound like that is going to work. Anyway, I need to find a home for this thing, and cash in my pocket. Rainy again, broken record here. We will have a few days of good weather coming up...and then guess what??? Hurricane again! maybe anyway. Please have a good day!!
Good Friday Morning, Y'all. It feels like a Saturday, but I know it's a Friday, because I put out the trash. A motor's droning, dogs are barking, and the sun's shining. I think I'll make another cup of tea before I switch to coffee for a bit. Hope everyone's having a nice day!
