Thanks Billie! You should see how it looks on my monitor...all shades of green. I won’t be doing any tables until I get my new one. The match-ups would be really crazy!

[Billie]

:) Thank you, jaycee. That is a cutie. :)

[Billie]

You will love your new monitor and seeing colors as they’re supposed to look again! I’ve been there. :)

Time for me to get in the kitchen and zap some leftovers for dinner (what did anyone ever do without a microwave?!)

Final Two American Idol and Dancing With The Stars Finals both on tonight - will TTYL!

[jaycee]

Looks like piece by piece, I will get a new computer...Barry gave me a wireless keyboard and mouse for my birthday! Wasn’t that wonderful? I was shocked!! Now, I will be buying a new monitor and will be on my way! Barry says he likes to build them that way....don’t ask me why!

[jaycee]

Thanks for the reminder!!!!

Love those little smilies and hearts....:)

[tiapam]

Hope you feel better tomorrow!

[jaycee]

Our neighbor has an orange cat (which visits us frequently... daily?) who likes baby quail almost as much as you do... LOL. I have to keep running it off, or we don't get to see the little ones.

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

...We got a deal on some 8-ft polypropylene ‘deer fence’ a while back - I think it was $99 for 100 feet...shipped, so Dear Wife now has a gated 20x30 ‘sanctuary’ for her ‘special plants’.     ...The deer get to ‘freely sample’ the rest.

[jaycee]

LOL~~~so funny!

...covered with cayenne pepper.

I’ll have to TRY that!

Animal Control took a diamondback off my front porch several years ago. The man had a long tong type instrument, clamped the thing by the head, and held it way up over his head, trying to get it into a bucket - and it was STILL dragging its tail on the ground. (So, it was at least six or seven feet long!)

You should’a heard those rattles going!!!! I WISH I had gotten a picture of the whole thing - but I was shaking too badly to even hold a camera. Almost couldn’t even hold the phone to dial 9-1-1. LOL!

I probably would have gone into the house and peeped out the window. Snakes scare me to death! I can’t imagine seeing a snake that big and especially a diamondback.

Sounds like me day.
