Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

With a number of new bloggers joining blogit, each month, I try to check out the new talent, whenever I come across an unfamiliar name. Unless they are really, really inept, bitterly angry, ultra- religious zealots, closed-minded, or they write about things that don't interest me AT ALL, I try to check them again, to determine if my initial impression was correct. NOBODY can please everyone, but like many others, I need all the friends that I can get! Just the other day, I left a comment on a... Sign in to see full entry.

Last week, I was a victim of home-invasion! I have always envisioned myself standing, looking down at the slowly cooling body of any intruder of my home space, but it didn’t happen, this time. As I can only work on my house, (patching holes in the walls, drywall paste filling of gouges and nail and screw holes, leveling and sanding, priming & painting, etc.) in my meager dribs and drabs of “ spare time,” this is taking a long time to get everything done, before next summer. Kidding, I hope!... Sign in to see full entry.

This is something written during the spring of '08, and if you are anything like me, you are already eagerly anticipating springtime. This will either make you pine for spring even more ardently, or make you a bit happier with winter. You're welcome, Grasshoppers! Guy A survival lesson! The Sage of the North, has just saved THREE lives! It's no big deal. I do stuff like this every day, when I should have been doing other stuff. Two days ago, I saw this year’s first snake. Since Marilyn’s... Sign in to see full entry.

----- Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams, and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request before they were beheaded and dragged naked through the streets. Katie Couric said, 'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.' The leader nodded to an underling who left and returnedwith the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.' Charlie... Sign in to see full entry.

MY BOSS JUST SENT ME THIS. Obviously, she thinks that I remember the sixties! If you remember the sixties, you weren't doing it right! Anyway, this is meant for all of you " old farts " out there, and not us youngsters, right? Guy PS. Wish I could have sent the cartoon illustrations too, they were hilarious. Some of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers who can remember doing the "Limbo" as if it were yesterday. They include: Bobby...

BLONDE LOGIC Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking, and one blonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away... Florida or the moon?" The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida?????" CAR TROUBLE A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor" She asks, "How often do I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Things to think about, when you are bored, on a cold, dreary wednesday, like today for instance. Hope this little piece of whimsical, mental fluff, makes you smile and brightens your day. Guy PONDERISMS * I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. * There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. * Life is sexually transmitted. * Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. * The only difference between a rut and...

My friend " Larry the computer guy," checked this out. It's an example of how our own money is used against us, and our own best interests, by those who hate us. Maybe there is good reason,to hate the US government, but there is no good reason for us to keep financing this. Guy Verified with SNOPES IN ORLANDO LAST WEEK, AT A CITGO STATION, REGULAR GAS WAS PRICED AT $2.82 PER GALLON, AND NO CUSTOMERS... HOWEVER, ACROSS THE STREET FUEL WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND ALL PUMPS THERE HAD CARS... Sign in to see full entry.

My best bud Dave, just sent me this. I thought that he had lost my address! Then, just out of the blue, he comes up with gems like this. I scored a perfect (or perfectly AWFUL!) 25. I'm not really older than God is supposed to be, but I think that he was two years ahead of me, in school. Didn't you just hate those upper classmen? Guy I... THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS...

Only OTHER people die, right? I hate to break it to you, but... Bernie Mack, Isaac Hayes, Tony Snow, Tim Russert, and Heath Ledger, comparatively young men, have all died recently. If we ever needed to be reminded how tenuous our hold on life really is, these deaths should tell us again, how fortunate we are just to wake up each morning. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow, regardless of wealth, age, health, physical conditioning, diet, or habits. I am always frustrated when some newsreader or print... Sign in to see full entry.
