Payback for an Irritant

Chris is an irritant, there’s no 2 ways around it. It’s a fact of life with him. Today he was being his normal self, but got caught.
I was sitting at my desk, playing a game that gets on his nerves. Oh well. So he finds some rubber bands on the filing cabinet, & starts shooting them [...]

Thank goodness it’s Friday

This week has sucked. I’m glad it’s over.
Even though I understand it, I hate dealing with insurance. Since the agent that got me to switch over to Country has quit, I felt no loyalty to stay with them. So when an agent for Farmers approached, & produced quotes for all of it, that were lower, [...]

It’s a “Man” thing

Dropping a cookie on the floor, then picking it up & eating it. That’s just disgusting. Then we have the leaving the seat up in the bathroom. Or putting the same spoon, without rinsing it off, in 3 different flavors of ice cream. What about not reloading the spool when the toilet tissue runs out? [...]

Sick dogs & speeding tickets

Joe got a speeding ticket on his motorcycle. A month ago. I get a letter to him in the mail, with a return address of City of Lakewood, & the word “summons” showing through the address window. Of course I opened it. That’s when I found out. If it was just him, I would tell [...]

Old school vs New school

Yesterday afternoon I was doing laundry, & here comes Joe, through the garage with a blue machine (the medium size one) & electric cables in his hand, & cussing all the while. Got my attention. Come to find out the washer line was gurgling as the washer would empty. Which meant the washer line was [...]

It’s a rainy spring day…..

And Chris’ ADD is manifesting itself already. He’s thought of about 15 different things to do, inside, & has started none of them.
My day is planned. Saturday is baking day. After that, since I’m having an issue with the tanks, today is housekeeping for the fish. I may have to send Chris to get something [...]

To make the almighty dollar

Menu Pet Foods bought wheat gluten from China, instead of buying it here. So what they bought has now killed 17 animals. Because they tried to save a buck, or two. Now it’s cost them a lot more than they saved.
I won’t feed my animals “wet” food. It’s bad for their teeth, because it causes [...]

No more “Scooter” Libby situations for him!

George Bush is ridiculous.
Now he wants to grant access to certain personnel, (“Bush said his White House counsel, Fred Fielding, told lawmakers Tuesday that they could interview Rove, Miers, deputy White House counsel William Kelley and J. Scott Jennings, a deputy to political director Sara Taylor — who in turn works for Rove.”) but not [...]

I have an idea

The muslims are feeling persecuted. Whole countries are “anti-muslim”. They want to be treated like everyone else. Free to practice their chosen religion. I have the answer.
Let them practice their prayers, where they have to get on the floor & bow, while facing east, AT HOME. Let them wear their total body coverings, AT HOME. [...]

Go to church Sunday morning, & get abused……

BY THE PREACHER!!!!!!
I sit in my normal spot, at the back of the auditorium by the doors, so when nature calls, I can answer easily, as well as get out ahead of everyone who wants to stop in the foyer & talk after the service. I always sit in the same general area. Jim, the preacher, [...]
