You remind me so much of my sister, a She Devil when protecting her family, but should anything with 4 legs or none (snake) enter the scene she'll kill you to get out of there first.

Guess whose was the only house that was breached by a bird? Yep...my sister...rest her soul.<br /><br />About the men in public office who can't behave: They blame it on the women. It's been that way for a very, very long time. Women are the temptress, men are tempted, men act on their thoughts, and women are responsible for dragging them down. When do you think those men will take full responsibility for their actions? and maybe not put themselves in that position in the first place? Always someone else to blame. This is why there are more derogatory words for women than men.<br /><br />The Duggars: Never watched it; never will. Somehow the mighty fall before the networks are done using them up. Reality shows? What's real about them? If I had a camera on me, I would certain behave differently. But, I'm not willing to expose my life for the hum drum reality it is...nor have I been asked. Another show I wouldn't watch is, what is it?, something like Teen Mothers? I wouldn't watch that other large family that seems to get larger by the year. I can't remember the name, but...who cares? Are they headed for the fall? More: The guy with a couple of wives — that's illegal, y'know. Now there's a singing family. Irish music. Don't care. Naked and Afraid. Ain't nobody gotta see THAT! Oh, there was this "reality" show about the swingin' life. Can't remember the name of it. There was a problem with one of the couples on the first show. Didn't see THAT coming. Katie and I are ready to turn off the TV and sit and twiddle our thumbs. It's more meaningful than the drivel that comes out of that tube! BTW The TV in the living room died. It won't be replaced.<br /><br />About lifting the skirt to get a screw... Where we lived a little further up north, the field behind us was planted with tobacco one time. The way they take care of that crop is funny. At one point, the leaves on the bottom are removed by a strange-looking piece of machinery. We referred to it as lifting the skirts. Ha ha...you had to be there! Another part of the process was deflowering. The flower was actually plucked from the top...with a machine. So, the whole process of caring for tobacco is a strangely "sexual" process. At least in our sick minds!<br /><br />Enjoyed our chat. Time to go twiddle my thumbs or do something equally as exciting.<br /><br />rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384758362254647340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-23457893942798503482015-05-30T11:56:51.272-07:002015-05-30T11:56:51.272-07:00LOL - he pulls some doozies Rick - I don't kno...LOL - he pulls some doozies Rick - I don't know what I find funnier - the fact that he said that - or the fact that he didn't realize what it sounded like LMHO !<br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867123594514649770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-54747070901244536082015-05-30T11:54:21.837-07:002015-05-30T11:54:21.837-07:00I'm in love with that lady - and would mostly ...I'm in love with that lady - and would mostly definitely have joined her LOL<br />I can deal with nincompoopery - it's my middle name after all - but all these sex scandals make me sick !<br />XOXOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867123594514649770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-785976812192561012015-05-30T11:13:41.925-07:002015-05-30T11:13:41.925-07:00What a terrible phobia to have - I mean there'...What a terrible phobia to have - I mean there's no escaping them LOL<br />XOXOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867123594514649770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-573689806658845422015-05-29T21:36:12.936-07:002015-05-29T21:36:12.936-07:00Thanks for the laughs!!

Grackles: Got 'em, don't like 'em. They are mean birds, and they have scared away all my finches, I think. But, they are pretty. A window without a screen would freak me the heck out. I'm picturing you both walking to one side -snort! The skirt/screw story is too funny! The story about the lake house was like watching a scary movie - you are a good storyteller, Suzan!

He must be used to living in what is probably a very fun house to live in!<br />As for the Duggard's I don't watch them at all, nor Honey BooBoo! Just watching the characters in my own family and those hanging from our "family tree", we could probably do an episode or two ourselves but who would want to watch! I do notice that Seventh Heaven is still on, despite the accusations recently hurled at the lead actor. (Our family antics do not include any of this nonsense, just plain old fashioned nincompoopery!) I find this all very sad at a time when our young people desperately need heroes, and there seem to be so very few around. AArrgguuhhhh!

All of it, from the missing screen to the slanting house, had me rolling on the floor.

I can picture it my head. When I was young and the family went out it was a trip when we came home. I'd walk in the house and yell, if anyone is in here you better run. We have many guns. My parents thought I was nuts<br /><br />Personally I was just getting over the grakles in the beginning of this post. I despise those birds. They freak me out. <br /><br />We were Mad Men people. For me, most times the episode would end and I would ask John to explain what the heck? I couldn't believe Don would just turn the corner and BAM the women would sleep with him. I'd say are they kidding me with this.<br /><br />Try to survive the weekend safely from the birds<br /><br />CindyCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110661139781107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-23206767828323008832015-05-29T09:23:23.936-07:002015-05-29T09:23:23.936-07:00O.M.G.!!!

It was so bad years ago that she would scream if she spotted a pigeon walking across the street. We used to go out walking over our lunch hour and, working downtown, there are always lots of pigeons about, and sparrows too (they are so remarkably resilient). Well, she was seeing a fellow at the time and he took her to an outdoor restaurant out in the country for what he thought would be a lovely evening out, and the place had a couple of peacocks roving about the premises. My friend totally lost it when she saw one, screamed and screamed. End of promising romance. She finally had enough of her fear and went to a counsellor who taught her some mental tricks to help her control her fear. It definitely helped. Now we could walk down a street without her screaming in fear at a bird across the street, and she got good enough at managing her fear that we could even walk past birds if we were going fast enough (and she could really move back in the day, whew!) I don't know where the fear of birds comes from, but it is real to those who suffer from it, and to me it's no different than being afraid of being near a body of water or being afraid of heights, or like me, afraid of creepy-crawlers! Mice, nope, they don't bother me. A thousand legger - run screaming for the hills! Except, I live alone, so I've learned how to kill them over the years. It's horrible and a terrible ordeal to do so and involves being armed with bug spray and a large bat of rolled-up newspaper, but I do it because the only thing worse than killing a thousand legger is to think about it creeping about the house in the dark, under the bed, coming up on the covers... okay, enough of that!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-25781941139915411592015-05-29T06:36:50.893-07:002015-05-29T06:36:50.893-07:00"do a little River Dance"..... one more ..."do a little River Dance"..... one more line that I'm definitely stealing from you.<br />About a decade ago, at a friend's cabin in Way Up North Wisconsin, there were about 7 of us sitting out by the lake at the campfire around midnight, a table full of munchies not far from us, when I heard what was most definitely a bear coming through the brush behind me. My lawn chair busted from the force of my launch and I hightailed it past my friends and up the hill to the cabin faster than Usain Bolt, my friends were bewildered but followed my lead - and later told me that they now know who I'd take care of first in case of emergency.Cheryl in Wisconsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598141617188887473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-75753501438840147662015-05-29T06:18:51.859-07:002015-05-29T06:18:51.859-07:00Laughed through this, of course.
