Snails

People don't eat "snails" they call them escargot. I say a snail by any other name would still leave a slime trail on the back patio. I found a bunch of snails out in the yard the other day. Actually I caught my dog, Bo, chasing one. Well, he wasn't really chasing it, he was sniffing it. The snail was pretending it wasn't home. - I checked behind the bush were the dog found the snail. There was a whole convention of them!! I could open a restaurant with what was hiding behind that bush. Only I... Sign in to see full entry.

HEALTH FADS!

I guess you know by now: You can eat right and exercise and get eight hours of sleep a night, (I try to get at least twenty myself) and well.... Well, I guess I will just say it. You will die anyway. - The good news is; that you will probably live up to three whole months longer than someone who doesn't eat right and exercise, maybe even four. Of course, I don't know what you will do in those three months. You can't have a cheeseburger, or candy, or veg out in front of the TV with buttered... Sign in to see full entry.

Un-Breakable

I just broke an un-breakable dish. How did I do this seemingly impossible thing you may ask? Well, I'll tell you -- later. that way you will keep reading to the end. Don't rush to the end. I'll tell you somewhere near the middle...maybe. I also broke one of my new year's resolutions. - I know, we all make and break new year's resolutions. Mostly I break the one to loose weight. That usually happens around lunchtime on the second of January. Then the resolution is repeated again on the third and... Sign in to see full entry.

Bo In College

I haven't figured out how Bo got enrolled in college, or how they got my cell number. (Bo is my sheltie mix dog) - I have however been investigating. I got the number that called me from my phone's "call log." Then I sat and wondered how could I find out who's number it was? _ Then it came to me -Duh- call the number. But how could I keep them from knowing it was me calling if they have caller ID? - I remembered reading how to block your number in the phone book. I got it, and sure enough, it...

Talking On The Phone

It never fails. Every time I start to talk on the phone all heck breaks loose. Here's what happens: - I am thinking of making a phone call when the phone rings. It is the person I was thinking about calling. Mental telepathy I guess. - "I was just thinking about you," I said. - "That's strange," she says, "I just called you." - "Really? That's amazing." We both laugh. - "Hey! Stop that!" She said. - "Stop What?" - "Oh, I'm taking to Tony, one of the kids I'm taking care of." - "What'd he do?" -... Sign in to see full entry.

Hummers?

I think it's really weird that a great big (ugly) vehicle and a cute little bird share the same nickname. It figures that a humming bird is sometimes called a hummer and I know the vehicle is really a Hum-vee, but what does that stand for? - My first guess would be humongous vehicle. But the humongous part is probably wrong. I just wonder why anyone needs a car that is almost as big as their house and only gets one inch per gallon. (that is only a guess, your mileage/inchage? may vary) - Now I... Sign in to see full entry.

Chew Chew!!

Untill I figure out how Bo got enrolled in college here is something else he taught me. _ Quite a few things can be chewed on and still work. I have discovered this since adopting Bo, who will chew on anything. The first day he was here, he got a hold of an old slipper. As soon as I could, I took it away from him and gave him a chew toy. A slipper is one thing that still works with teeth marks. Socks can survive a little chewing. Pencils can also be rescued. Chairs, antique furniture, walls,... Sign in to see full entry.

Attack of the Killer Robin!

Every summer our big Mulberry tree fills up with all kinds of birds. This year we had blue jays, robins, sparrows and even humming birds. - Anyway the baby birds that fall out of the nests can be a problem. As a rule I watch to see if there is a mother bird taking care of the one that has fallen. There usually is, but you have to watch for her. - These little birds are a problem because my dog, Bo, likes to chase them. I don't think he really wants to hurt them, but they run, so he chases. Then... Sign in to see full entry.
