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

Lately, I have been so entertained by the two animals, (the 4-legged variety) watching their antics, their play and their pseudo-sibling rivalry play itself out, complete with high-speed chases, crashes, and a camouflage colored, rampant lioness towering over “ Baby, the designated prey animal,” threatening to slice him into lunch meat, and Baby attempting to snarl and bark Hitler to death, from a safe distance. Usually both antagonists emerge from these mock battles unscathed, but occasionally,... Sign in to see full entry.

DON’T MESS WITH THE OLD PEOPLE A simple lesson to learn The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney. The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.' I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration? ' The auditor thinks... Sign in to see full entry.

Sex in space! A dream come true! Well, at worst, it IS a fascinating dream! Have you ever wondered, what having weightless sex, would be like? Me too! Would a couple have to strap themselves into a harness of several linked bungee cords, attached to one’s ankles or knees, and wrists?, Would this be necessary to keep an enthusiastic couple from bouncing off walls, or a piece of life-sustaining equipment, at 35 mph? OUCH! That would probably spoil the magic of the moment! Even in a craft that... Sign in to see full entry.

If this is actually true, I fear that our world is doomed! I had hoped that since the world's oil supply is reportedly quickly running out, this would make renewable energy the only game in town. Knowing human nature, if an undiscovered ocean of oil exists anywhere on Earth, we WILL drill for it, and burn every last drop, before switching over to more sane ways to power our planet. My boss sent me this, probably thinking that it is good news. What do you think, fellow bloggers? Guy >>> Rose... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t really know to what I should attribute my first voluntary, extended break from writing, you know, what THAT was all about. Well, to begin with, I have been swept up in getting the outdoor wood-burning furnace bought, delivered, installed, the trenching done, ( 4 feet deep ) wiring and insulated plumbing laid into the trench, trench filled, plumbing fed through basement wall, hole patched, 55 gallons of environmentally friendly anti-freeze installed, (anti-freeze alone, $500 of my very...

Want to know what I hate? Being around complainers! There are some people that will compulsively, constantly, complain about ANYTHING and/or ANYONE! It’s a virulent form of verbal diarrhea, but it can’t kill you, like the kind that heads south, can. Examples: “Bleeping CAT! I’m going to KILL that little bleeper, while you are at work today! It’s FREEZIN’ COLD in here! YES, it IS! He is too STUPID to be allowed to live any longer! Who is that Bleeper? BLEEP, BLEEPING, BLEEPERS! I don’t get ANY... Sign in to see full entry.

Peace at Last My lifelong pal Dave Bradbury just sent me this. I think that he has stumbled onto an inexpensive answer to getting the terrorists to leave us alone, because those Americans are all just plain CRAZY! No way, can they beat us, when the rednecks get their panties in a wad! Maybe the terrorists should have declared a Jihad against North Korea, and Iran, instead of US! (Ooops, the Iranians & N. Koreans ARE many of the terrorists.) My personal contribution to the solution of the... Sign in to see full entry.

A bit of sibling banter about parts of a shared email, sent to my buddy Dave, said banter, between my bratty kid sister, and myself. I fear that like prophets, sages also are not honored in their own land. Or was it their own lifetime? Doesn't matter, BOTH choices suck 40 PSI! Being a sage nowadays, and about $4.00 will buy you a cup of fancy Starbucks coffee, I hear. Like Rodney Dangerfield always said, "I don't get no more respect than a SAGE!" Terry (the bratty kid sister) begins her reply to... Sign in to see full entry.

Why the hell DID the chicken cross the road? BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE! JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road. HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day...

The golfer's wife A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole, and a birdie on the second. On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang. It was an emergency room doctor, notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible traffic accident and she was critically injured and would be going into the intensive care unit, after being operated upon.. The man told the doctor to tell his... Sign in to see full entry.
