It's downright cold in my house! May 19?

The morning show was just coaching us on how to manage our inboxes and if we are too overwhelmed and can't respond, then you should respond to the sender claiming bankruptcy and you will be better in the future. Hmmmm, sounds like the same amount of energy expended. :funn:

I am loving randomer thoughts! But, let's combine the two and make it More Randomer Thoughts! ;-)

Every once in a while it hits me - I'm in a foul mood.

Why is Wednesday the new Monday?

Why is it already Wednesday????

Oh, and the clouds are rolling in for the holiday weekend.

P.S. I really really need a cheeseburger and rings.

Cowboy is all excited 'cause I just brought home some fresh catnip! But, he knows to not get on the counter or he gets a swift kick in the rumpous.

He's going to the cow pasture with me this weekend so I need the catnip to keep him close! This is going to be interesting......think I should take my wellies?

WTF is up with the Old Navy ads? Are they really building an ad campaign around a possibly preggers mannequin?

I have fund another use for poo poo bags. They make excellent ice packs.

You're using virgin bags or removing the poo first right?

YouTube - Ring around the Collar! 70's commercial
I mean, what is it with ring around the collar? I remembered these commercials this morning while in the shower, remembering that moms used to tell us to scrub our neck or else " you'll grow potatoes in there!"... and then I remembered "ring around the collar". I have NEVER had a dirty neck, at least not visibly! what can one's neck do to even get dirty? what was it with dirty man collars in the 70's?

and what's more... why does MK need to use a ice poop bag?

my mother called 'em granny beads. wth is a granny bead!?!

i guess this is why because i too played with matchbox cars and bulldozers in the dirt when i was a child.

Granny Beads

If you’ve never been in a wet sauna nor done a tour of duty in a tropical jungle, you have nothing in your memory banks to make an adequate comparison to July and August in South Carolina. The word is humidity. Yes, it gets over one hundred degrees out in the Southwest, but it is bone dry. You sweat, the sweat evaporates the way God intended for it to and you feel a tiny bit cooler. In the South? Not so much. It is not at all unusual for the relative humidity to exceed the temperature such as 83 degrees with 85 percent humidity. Sure, you may not think that’s possible, but that’s summertime in the Southland.
Now, growing up in the country like I did meant playing outside in the dirt during those humid summer days. Let me clearly state for the record that I do not feel we were any morally better or more fit than today’s generation of video game jockeys, internet surfers, and couch potatoes. Trust me, if we’d have had the internet or video games and could have talked our Baby Boomer parents into it, we would have been sitting inside under the A/C killing aliens and scoping out Facebook just as fervently as today’s bunch. Unfortunately, instead of electronics, we had Tonka trucks. So, we played outside.
Now, if you play in the dirt you get dirt on you. If you play in the dirt in ungodly high humidity, you get MUD on you. That mud, over the course of the day, would tend to gravitate to the area of your neck between your chin (or chins as was the case with my chunky little self) and the top of your tee shirt. Gradually, the crease in your neck would get clogged with the sweat and humidity created muck until you had a line of dirt all the way around your neck.
Now, every line of dirt I ever saw was mostly thin. A really Pigpenesque kid might have a dirt line as wide as a fingernail, but not much more than that. In any event, some one, probably an adult, thought this ring of dirt resembled a dark version of the tight fitting “choker” pearl necklaces that elderly well-heeled Southern ladies liked to wear. Since the common folk (like us) would mistake the pearls for beads and we often called any woman older than our parents “Granny” the rings around our necks became Granny Beads. They were the mark of a day spent in raucous adventures and real physical play. Strange, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a child with granny beads around his neck, but then, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen many children playing with Tonka trucks in the red clay either.

There was an altercation with a yellow lab dragging the WC bench it was tied to, and chasing MK holding Molly. She's sporting some pretty colorful evidence in the form of bruises. From the story she told us, she is lucky she didn't break any bones or worse.
