Whacky's Corner

I don't know about you, but every time I grab a flashlight to see something in the dark, like what that dopey dog is barking at, the flashlight either doesn't work at all, or the light come on only to fade out and go off! Recently I tried to illuminate whatever it was Bo was barking at. For once the light worked and I thought I saw two red glowing eyes looking back at me.Then the light went out. I shook it and it came back briefly. But whatever was out there was gone. Now I have at least half a... Sign in to see full entry.

Was it Mark Twain who said "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it"? I'm not sure. I do know that if I could do something about the weather I would! First I would make a rule that when spring comes there would be no more bitter cold days!! Of course I can't do that...So one day the grass is turning green, the birds are singing, flowers are blooming and it feels like summer. Yeah yesterday it hit 80 degrees. I washed the car and even got a bit of a sunburn on the back... Sign in to see full entry.

A little late but still good! When I was little I used to help mom and grandma decorate hard boiled eggs for Easter. Grandma boiled the eggs. Mom got the different containers of dye ready. i got to dip the eggs int the colors. Blue and green were my favorites. Orange red yellow and purple are nice too! Of course on Easter the Easter Bunny would come and hide the eggs all around the house. I remember one year that dumb bunny hid one in Mom's good gold chair. It would have been OK except, I didn't...

I like crossword puzzles. I don't usually do them in ink though. Using a pencil you can erase...But not really, it always smears and looks yucky. So using a pen isn't such a bad idea. That's cause you can kind of change the letters... if you have too. Jumble is fun to do..Sometimes I'll look at the letters and figure out the word right away. Then there are the times I can look at the letters and just can't figure it out. it gives me a headache. Then the next day I'll see the answer in the paper... Sign in to see full entry.

OK who knows what you would sound like if you were a broken record? Well if the record is completely broken into pieces it won't play at all, but if there is just a scratch or crack it doesn't play right. Back in the day of vinal records 45's 75's and LP's they were easily broken. If you dropped one on the floor it would break. Play it too often and sometimes it would get scratched. Now CD's and DVD's are the direct descendants of those old records. The big difference is in how they are played.... Sign in to see full entry.

I planted some grass seed in a bare patch in the backyard. I've been watering it every day. Guess what has sprouted so far? Yeah weeds. They are green and actually nicer than dust, so for now, I'm going to leave them there. - I was just looking at the sack of grass seed that I used. It says that the seeds are 99.9% weed free. So the other.01% weed seed is what grows. I'm thinking I should have played the lottery the same day I planted those seeds. - I recently read a story about a woman who... Sign in to see full entry.

Umm... I think it's kind of scary to realize that there are children actually growing up without the funny papers. When I was little, the funnies were the highlight of Sunday afternoon. We would go to church on Sunday morning. Then when we got home, and out of our good clothes, it was time for the funnies. I remember the KATZENJAMMER KIDS. I wanted to be like them. - I have a friend who has a nine year old daughter, and she has lived her whole life with no funnies at all! ( the daughter not the... Sign in to see full entry.

I was cleaning out the flower beds when I felt something on my hand. It was something sharp. Ouch! At the time I thought is was some leaves or twigs that got inside my gloves. I pulled the glove away from my wrist and a few pieces of stuff fell out. - I got two of the four flower beds all cleaned up, and decided to stop. I was tired and had run out of trash sacks. Thought I'd go in the house, have some coffee then run up to Wal-mart for more sacks and a few other things. - I left my gloves and... Sign in to see full entry.
