Barking dogs are probably the reason you should let sleeping dogs lie. Because if you wake a sleeping dog he will probably start barking, and you'll get a headache. - I am thinking of this subject because of two things. A real barking dog named Zeke, and a little problem that has been bothering me. I think it would be best to leave it alone, and if it comes up again deal with it then. In other words let the dog wake by himself. - Now Zeke isn't a big problem. He belongs to the people down the... Sign in to see full entry.

You know, my idea of a serving of vegetables is a couple of stalks of celery. Now my dad used to think that a bag of potato chips is a serving of vegetables. I knew better, a bag of chips is several servings of vegetables. - Wait, I think something is wrong with me. I am craving... gulp... carrot sticks! Whew! I was wrong. I am actually craving cheese puffs. - Same difference, I count cheese puffs as vegetables too. Did you know there is actually corn in them and protein too? If you eat enough...

Have you ever noticed how things try to hide from you? Just the other day I was at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and doing the crossword puzzle. I got up for more coffee. Just then the answer to twelve across popped into my head. I reached for the pencil and the it was gone! - So I took everything off the table in a wild hunt to find the pencil before I forgot the answer. I lost. As a matter of fact this time the pencil wasn't on the table and it hadn't rolled under it. No, it wasn't on the... Sign in to see full entry.

You might say that I'm a few coins short of a jackpot...a few pickles short of a jar...not the brightest knife in the drawer or even the sharpest bulb in the chandelier. _ Oh, well...l am one of the few who would might notice a few missing coins in a jackpot. I can't help it. It is genetic (dad was Scotch, not the booze, the country) As you know, the Scotch are thrifty... OK cheap) My Dad would spend a dollar to save a dime. I'm not that bad, Mom's blood I guess. - This also explains why I was... Sign in to see full entry.

I have some very nosy neighbors. But then I am nosy myself. That 's because my kitchen faces the driveway so I can't help but see them come and go when I'm in the kitchen, doing dishes or getting a drink of water. - Our neighbors recently got a garage door opener. It is a neat little device when used right. But they (the neighbors that is) open the door, back out and drive off. This leaves the garage door wide open for anyone to walk in. The other day I was at the kitchen sink and saw two... Sign in to see full entry.

Now it is the time to put on your cowboy boots and go clomping around. Of course if you are really going to the Fair you might want to put on something besides just cowboy boots. Like jeans, a western shirt, a vest, a jacket, and maybe even a cowboy hat. Yea! Haw! - Well, now that we are dressed let's go to the Fair! Whee! The first thing you do is drive toward the fair grounds. You don't have to know where it is, just follow your nose. ( The smell of livestock permeates the city.) Of course...

Have you noticed? Everywhere you go there is someone saying "Sorry about that." At K-Mart I was looking for a replacement bulb for my flashlight. I found a clerk to help look, you can sometimes flush them out with the cry "The store is closing!" They start rushing for the door. - The clerk couldn't find the bulb, so he said, "Sorry about that." Then as he tried to escape he was stopped by another customer. I decided to hang around; so I lurked in the next isle. This is lucky because I found the... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in grade school they used to always tell us that neatness counted. I guess it still does. Except now there is no one who will give me a gold star if I keep things neat. My little word processor keeps my writing legible. But you should see my desk! - Each day I get a pile of mail. I put the important looking things on my desk for immediate perusal, and the rest goes into a file beside my desk that looks suspiciously like a trash can. Magazines, letters, bills and catalogues are stacked on my... Sign in to see full entry.

OK. The time has come. I am running for president. I am throwing my hat in the ring! OW! I guess I should have taken it off first. - It's time for just a regular person to become the president. Just so you know I am NOT affiliated with either party. I am running for the Surprise Party....I just love surprise parties! - As president I will make everyone happy just like the people in all those commercials on TV. I'll stop all hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Under my administration gas... Sign in to see full entry.
