Are you getting ton's of rain?
Is it from the hurricanes?
*showing ignorance*
"Late cat mess"?
I don't know if I want to know. ;-)
PS. Sorry about your cat.
We have been getting rain in the form of "monsoons" which are usually caused by tropical "disturbances" off the Pacific Mexican coast.
It's supposed to be dry next week (the monsoons only last about six weeks, but that's when Tucson gets most of the 12" a year it brags about) and I'm looking forward to the dryer weather.
Other than that, we get a few showers during the rest of the year, but not enough to measure, for the most part.
(well, right about that time people
A fur-trapper (who was strictly from commercial)
Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo
(peekaboo) )
And he started into whippin' on my favorite baby seal
With a lead-filled snowshoe)
I said, with a
Lead-
Filled
With a lead filled snowshoe
He said, peekaboo
I said, with a
Lead-
Filled
With a lead filled snowshoe
He said, peekaboo
He went right upside the head of my favorite baby seal
He went whap with a lead-filled snowshoe, and
He hit him on the nose and hit him on the fin, and he
That got me just about as evil as an eskimo boy can be. so I bent down
And I reached down, and I scooped down and I gathered up a generous
Mitten-ful of the deadly yellow snow
The deadly yellow snow, from right there where the huskies go!
Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow
Crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous
Circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
To take the place of the mudshark in your mythology
Here it goes,the circular motion, now rub it!
(here fido)
And then
In a fit of anger
I pounced
And I pounced again
Great googly moogly!
I jumped up and down on the chest of the him
I injured
The fur trapper
Well he was very upset, as you can understand
And rightly so, because the
Deadly yellow snow crystals had
Deprived him of his
Sight
And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said
I can't see
I can't see
Oh, woe is me
I can't see
Well.....you know
I can't see
Nothin'
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye
And the husky wee-wee
I mean the doggie wee-wee
Has blinded me
And I can't see
Temporarily
Well, the fur-trapper stood there, with his arms outstretched across the
Frozen white wasteland, trying to figure out what he was going to do about
His deflicted eyes. and it was at that precise moment that he remembered
And ancient eskimo legend, wherein it is written (on whatever it is that
They write it on up there) that if anything bad ever happens to your eyes
As the result of some sort of conflict with anyone named Nanook,
The only way you can get it fixed up is to go
Trudging across the tundra
Mile after mile
Trudging across the tundra
Right down to the parish of st. alphonzo...
Thanks, fanfan. We are, of course, saddened by the death (a couple of weeks ago) of our very elderly cat, but after scrubbing the garage floor on my hands and knees all morning ...
She was not in control of her digestion the last couple of years. At least, that's the charitable excuse for all the "deposits"; I suspect she was also getting even with us for moving again! The cleaning isn't done, but it's much better.
However, she never drove the van, to the best of my knowledge ... although many years ago, she squeezed through a barely-open window into one of the cars, and turned on the windshield wipers and the lights, and drained the battery!
Hiya, HKMk3...
(I really need to find a shorter way to address you...)
What's up?
She was obviously sick for a lot longer than you thought, then. Bless her kitty heart. I'm glad you're not still have "morning sickness" or whatever it is that makes you want to eat ice cream and...cheese puffs?
I would also think that by turning on the wipers and lights, she scared her little self! She probably just wanted a shortcut to the dashboard...LOL!
KEWL! Is that the jist of the statement you couldn't make yesterday?
I actually like Frank Zappa's early works...but where I was living, they were "underground," if you can believe it...;o]
Like LOTR...you couldn't get it through the normal sources.
Ice cream and onion rings. The best are at Dairy Queens in Texas :-).
We still have to move all my husband's Stuff off a couple sets of shelves, move the shelves out, and clean under them, but that can wait for a cooler day. It was almost 100 by the time we finished up this morning, and *humid*.
Got a boy going camping this weekend - I expect he'll have thunderstorms.
Well, thousands might not believe you, but I do. :-)
Thank you. It's nice to be believed.
Naw... that woulda been more like Ice-T's Bodycount lyrics.
Mixed together? Hmmm.
Wow. I like onion rings at Burger King (?) but I haven't tried them with ice cream...maybe I should...just to see how the other half lives. *snort*
Once the humidity sets in, it's hard to do anything that even looks like work. Don't over-do it, OK?
Camping with T-storms, huh? Dang. I used to just LOVE it! I even put out a tree fire during one! Thankfully, the strike was low enough to reach...
Not in the same dish, but at the same time. And Diet Coke.
LOL!
Yah...that works. I can't even go back to that thread...it's too upsetting for me, so I can only think it must be 1000 times worse for you.
It used to rain buckets every time my Dad, brother, and I camped out. After my brother left home, it still rained when it was just Dad and me. They loved us in West Texas!
I lived in West Texas for three years, and all it did the entire time I was there was rain. I think we had maybe three weeks of sun and of those three, on two weeks had low (40%) humidity.
Here, I think 20% is high, and I hate it.
