                    Oh JoeLove, that was sweet,
                
                even if he did ruin your candle. So you kept all four puppies? You are too funny!  Hey, I completely understand. I love going to Asheville. It's my favorite place to travel in the Southeast. I'd move there if Emil wasn't so attached to where we are.  Well, take care

                Too funny, Joe, as usual.
As a new fan of the country boy blog, Can I be really annoying and ask who Maudine is?  Is that your manfriend's mom?
btw -- I love that word "manfriend" It's how my mom refers to the partner's of gay men when she tries to be hip.  As in "Oh, this must be your little manfriend, Chuck." hee hee.

                    Awwwww, William.  Thank you so much.
                
                It's not some of my better stuff.  I've been in a slump I'm trying  to work through.  Got a great story that I'm working on now,  though.  
I figure if I can make ONE person be amused through one of my entries, then I'm worth something.

                    Joe, I read this post this morning...but my comment got eaten somehow
                
                Anyway, I had a good laugh about it and read it to my sister, one of Rachel's biggest fans. She got a laugh out of it too. Thank's for brightening up a blah Georgia winter day.

                when you tell a loved one not to do something because you KNOW it's not going to work out the way they want it to and they blatantly ignore you because you just can't possibly be right! UGH... well, there had better be some beautiful, pricey candles under your christmas tree!

                    So I take it the wine is still in the refrigerator? Maybe you should take Monster to Wal-Mart and buy him a couple 5 dollar wickless candles for his burning appetite..I think Monster had very good intentions and it was rather romantic eh Joe?

                    Joe,
                
                I don't think they sell those candle wamers here. I'm not much for candles anyway - not much of a romantic, only when I write stories. But I could be persuaded with a good bottle of wine. Did that one do the trick for you, too????

                    I saw a candle warmer while shopping for soft toys for new grandbabies
                
                at the local Hallmark store. And I grinned to myself, thinking of Joe_Love's Monster, and his unfortunate shopping decision. A clerk saw the grin and mistook it for holiday cheer, tried to sell me something off every little marketing island. But I diverted her attention to her personal life; she was so pleased to be involved in self-revelation she forgot her prime directive. In an amazing feat of magic, I left the store with only what I'd come for.

                    Wickless candle, what a horror, that's like reading an online book.

                    What a sad story!
                
                Bless his heart... Joe Love, I am sure my local candle store doesn't have such a thing as a candle warmer. I am in the dark LOL.

                    And just what is bel blogging?
                
                    have I mentioned I missed you this weekend?  Funny how the absence of certain people can make things less fun.
  Now, I am quite sure you are much better looking than Brad (UGH, ICK, YUCK, PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THAT BOY SOME SOAP AND SHAMPOO) Pitt.  As for the candle...The Monster should pay DEARLY!

                    Good for you for picking that out, Holy Grail.  (grin)
                
                I'm going to bel blogging about that next.  And, it's a MUCH better story than this one.

                you're actually supposed to use wickless candles for a  candlewarmer.  A wickless candle--I can't help but wonder if  someday we'll find wickless candles pictured in Memory Books next to  Lava Lamps.

                LOL! Now that I know what a candle warmer 
is, I can understand your fury! I still hope, though, that you didn't follow up on the threat you uttered during the first candle warmer episode...
