I just LOVE my new cordless computer MOUSE! It works so quickly, dependably, and I can hide it from the grandkids who appear to believe that computer mice are impervious to spilled liquids, and when I am else where, they insist upon downloading and playing computer games, thereby infecting my computer with loads of really bad crap. They brought this action upon themselves, but they dragged me along for the frustrating ride. I think that Ivy is getting some kind of a computer laptop or electronic... Sign in to see full entry.

This holiday vacation has been a bit trying, for me. Someone who shall remain nameless misplaced or lost my precious copy of The Home Book of Smoke Cooking. I printed it while working at Cushing Malloy, a short run job shop (approx. 5,000 copies) printing company, about 1971. I am certain that this particular book has been out of print, for many years now, and is all but irreplaceable. This book was written by a professional caterer, who supplied exclusively hardwood-smoked food, including... Sign in to see full entry.

Please tell me that I am not the only one that can see what is going to happen to us all, due to delayed effects of our recent or current (pick your own adjective) national economic meltdown, and the subsequent governmental manipulation. This will be an attempt to assuage an extremely angry American population. Get ready for another lesson in governmental prevarication and theft of personal treasure, to keep us all calm and stupid. ALL governments lie to their own people. This is how they keep... Sign in to see full entry.

Baptist Up bringing A s I walked down the busy sidewalk with my wife, knowing I was late for church, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, ragged vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away As if the sight might somehow contaminate them.. R ecalling my old pastor, Brother Mike, who always admonished me to "Care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this...

SENIOR CITIZEN TIPS FOR 2010 Reporter interviewing a 104-year-old woman: 'And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?' the reporter asked. She simply replied, 'There's no peer pressure.' The nice thing about being senile, is you can hide your own Easter eggs. I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and d iabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, I take 40 different medications that Make... Sign in to see full entry.

Kabu, It is very gratifying and uplifting, to have been missed by you, while I have been scurrying around in a frantic attempt to simultaneously cut up firewood, try to find out why my wood-splitter has no spark, hunt deer, “ garden,” go to work, and take care of Marilyn’s needs and desires each day. (She thinks that these two things are exactly the same thing) I really expected that nobody would even notice my absence, for quite a long time, if EVER! I figure that if I am still blogging, when...

Saturday, February 23, 2008 Fun times at our house, last night. Kids are entertaining & SO much fun! Last night, just before bedtime, Ivy came out of the bedroom and announced that she was bleeding from the back of her neck! She had nicked it or scraped a scab loose, who knows how kids do these things? She did not know what happened, but was frightened because she couldn’t see the source of the blood, it being on the back of her neck. I happened to be feeling uncharacteristically mischievous, (...

As I have recently mentioned to a couple of my fellow bloggers, Marilyn has been shrinking or replacing MY jeans with smaller, similarly worn, aged and broken-in pants, outgrown by adolescents and then offered up for sale, at garage sales and front-yard markets, during the summer months. She has cunningly replaced the little "size tags," the ones that came with my pants, into those toothpick-thin jeans, formerly owned by anorexic or speed-freak 'tweens, young boys, actually. This strikes me as...

A blonde heard that milk baths would make her beautiful. She left a note for her milkman telling him to leave her 25 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought that she probably meant 2.5 gallons. So he knocked on the door to clarify the point. The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean that you wanted 2.5 gallons?" The blonde said, "I want 25 gallons. I'm going to fill... Sign in to see full entry.
