The Color Of Bilious - The End

As I said in the first paragraph of the previous post, " Actually, the incident is none of my business and I am going to stay totally out of it and pretend I never saw what I saw."

The Color Of Bilious

I got back from my outing yesterday to find that all was quiet, though the plumbing company truck was still parked in the lot. I was so worn out from my adventures, that the final part of the day was completely wasted for me and I have been very slow moving this morning also. I had a really good...

As Sam444 can tell you, it's not so easy to get a house these days, at least not the one you want. But wow, it's done and everything went along pretty smoothly.

Two Hours Into Twelve Hours Worth

Three inches of snow per hour seems a goodly amount to me. I'm having fun watching the snow blowers and shovelers out front bundled up like Eskimos while I nibble on my nice warm breakfast burrito in front of the fire. Sign in to see full entry.

Hent The Day

I'm always on a quest for the perfect mop. You would not believe how many different ones I have bought, and you would not believe how many of them have disgusted me, and have been trashed. In my lifetime of cleaning my kitchen and bathroom floors, I was most satisfied with the results when I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

Today for the very first time, in the presence of Kansas City Zoo goers, Berlin and Nikita came face to face with each other after spending days getting use to sharing the environment and getting used to each other's presence through the sense of smell and other animal sensations.

I Give Up

A person needs to realize when they are licked. I'm certain I can never top this: Sign in to see full entry.
