I went garage saling. Decided to take the long way home and spied a garage sale sign in the middle of nowhere. Followed for miles. FINALLY found it. Then when I got done looking {nothing good} the truck would NOT start. The Hubby was 2 hours away. I decided to have it towed way back to our mechanic. It's the dang fuel pump AGAIN! This is the 2nd time we've replaced it and twice before we owned it. They are IN the fuel tank and only last 2-3 years I'm finding. OMG!! I LOVE this truck. What to...

I often think of things from my distant past in the country. One of them was the town dump where the township trash was dumped. My, what a treasure trove. That's where I found my radios, toys, and household stuff that started my collecting, age about 10 yrs. They even pushed junked cars off the edge and watched them tumble down the slope. I know where that place is and if I had some way to do it, we could find bottles from 1930! So where did your trash go in the old days, or what...

I have had a hand sketched pencil pic of farrah fawcett and 2 michael jackson books here for a long time. I was getting ready to list them all when the tragedys happened. I need the money and need to get things out of here. TOO many things. I most likely will just go ahead and list them, but hate to think some may think bad of me for listing right now. But then.....What to do? Do I have to wear this?

We lost the elec. at 8:05 last night & I couldn't sleep til it came back at 12:20. I needed the AC so couldn't sleep. The Hubby sleeps in just about anything but I was HOT. Lol..I got up at one point, came downstairs and had a smoke. Then went back up and decided to try the AC remote. OMG it came on. I was praising the AC Gods for sure. Lol.. The Hubby just left to go back to y-town again. We were just there, but a friend of his father died and he's going to the funeral. I've had it with...

It just makes me sad that this has to happen. I've tried to think of alternatives but they have covered all of them, relocation, sterilization. It has passed the Shawnee Mission, Kansas board to go ahead and use baiting for sharpshooters to thin out the wild deer herd in their park (by 75%). I understand that there needs to be something done as the herd numbers 200 per sq mile while 50 psm is acceptable. They do a lot of damage to yards and gardens and are a constant threat on the roads. I...

The movie True Grit. The part where he's bragging and say "when they need something done they call the old rat killer". Well we've gotten to where we call Coco, the minipin, the old rat killer because of her tangling with the baby ground hog. Just had to share that cause it makes us laugh and she seems to like it. Nothing against pet rats people may have. Do I have to wear this?

Again! This is getting real old. At least this time, the unemployment is kinda temporary. No school over the summer, so no busses to drive. No paycheck. Bored. Too much time on my hands. School starts first week of August, but no paycheck till end of September. Limit all US politicians to two terms.One in officeOne in prisonFollow Illinois' lead!!

So, we found this moth at the bottom of one of our walnut trees. It wouldn't fly away even though we were mowing around it. Googled and found it appears to be a "Luna Moth". Very large! According to google they don't have mouths and (obviously) don't eat because they only live one week as adults for the sole purpose of mating! But we couldn't find anything to indicate if they are a good or bad bug. Does anyone know anything about these critters? A turkey pic off the Pennsylvania wildlife...

I was taking a nap and the Hubby got a call from the neighbor up the hill, not far from us. I guess coco {minipin} decided when he turned his back to go on alittle "walk about". The neighbor said to hurry up there and get her before she got hurt. She was fighting a good-sized baby ground hog. By the time he got up there she had killed it! Not a mark on her but the Hubby said she was wild eyed and tremling abit. She came in and is still sleeping in her bed. Guess it wore her out. I'm...

The Hubby saw Zuez {our meezer boy} do a funny thing yesterday. This is too funny, wish I coulda gotten a pic. He's an indoor/outdoor cat so one place he likes in down in the field. The Hubby said he saw Zuez down there and 2 deer were standing near him. They were all staring down eachother. Lol..I had to laugh thinking Zuez was sizing them up to eat. Like he could take'em down. Do I have to wear this?
