I definitely identify with “one minute at a time,” as I would use that phrase to describe how I would choose to live life; you don’t miss anything that way

Remember the cow-flinging episode in Northern Exposure?

BTw, are you doing NaNoWriMo this year? I’m finally giving it a shot, but it’s an uphill battle.

Wile E Coyote was my favorite, but Pete Puma was a close second. “how many lumps would you like.” ” Ohhh, a lot of lumps, a whole lot of lumps… Never mind, I’ll help myself…” Then of course, there was Daffy Duck and Porky Pig too. They don’t even show those cartoons on t.v. anymore… they are too… violent !?!?!?!?

Thank you for information. Here’s another couple for you.

A few years ago we put out a leaf scarecrow ( a series of plastic bags that are filled with leaves or newspapers ) and placed it in a resin patio chair in front of the house. Over several nights we learned just how many ways we needed to anchor his various parts to the chair and house so he wouldn’t slump, slouch, or blow away…

Also don’t use the light-up ghost foot-prints if they are predicting snow…

They say one should learn from their mistakes… I find it easier to learn from those of others…

You as a Brownie Leader… If someone would have told you that you be doing something like this back in high school, you would have laughed it off. Personally, I think even back then, I might have envisioned it… You’ve always been that kind of person… Why I’ve always liked being your friend.

Comment on Wasps by dadman81415

Learned along time ago, that sometimes a pre-emptive strike is necessary for the protection of ones self and others. Had a large wasp nest in the eaves of our garage when we lived in Hobart. Buzzed Kassi a few times, so I sprayed the nest down (it was basketball sized), waited a few days then took the garden hose and a broom to it. 2 weeks later they tried to rebuild, but I repeated the procedure, and viola, they gave up. Worked for the gophers living under my garage slab too. But remember, I was merciful to the bird on my patio BBQ cabinet.

I can relate to the writing experience. Just keep reminding yourself that you’ve done several NaNoWriMos!

Comment on Pay Your Own Taxes! by dadman81415

dadman81415 — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:03:20 +0000

The only people I might have sympathy for, would be those who cannot file their own taxes, either because they don’t understand the forms, or it’s too complicated (small businesses), and they fall prey to an incompetent, or crooked accountant. But, if they owe taxes because they didn’t file, or ‘forgot’ to make their quarterly payments (businesses). then its shame on them, and they should pay full penalties. No mercy for those who try to cheat the system and therefore cheat the rest of us, because they CHOSE not to pay their fair share.

We’ve had a dry spell for the past week or so, we could use some rain. The rest of the summer has been pretty wet, though.

When were the pictures taken?? Looks a lot like some of the the pics from the hurricane that moved through a couple years ago.
