What good news! James is trying to finish the last dozen pages in his math book. I told him I would take him to Baskin Robins for a sundae if he does.

Looks like the Obamunist got skunked on every level.

Even the intel used to get Osama came out of Gitmo.

LOL!

Only helps prevent it. WD stands for “water displacing”. Quite a few “urban legend” uses for WD-40, but an even more surprising number of uses that aren’t.

Thanks! It is good news! I was awake most of the night with the pain, with an ice pack, with pain killers...slept about three hours all told.

Good for James!! {{{{James}}}}

I <3 James!

That James is a math maniac!

Frank has gone to bed. I need to go to Walmart: we’re out of sandwich bread.

GO JAMES!!

When I should have been learning how to do multiplication and division, I had rheumatic fever. If calculators had not been invented, fingers and toes would have had to suffice.

James doesn’t have to multiply and divide yet. And I’m not sure Pat can, either. He’d very evasive.

I think we learned multiplication and division in the middle of the 3rd grade. I would have been eight or nine. When I went back to school after a week or two of illness, I was lost, and never did catch up. Teacher’s fault.

Well, it’s a good thing you have plenty of fingers and toes!

I’m surveying the byos about meals for the next few days. Wednesday (May 4) is Star Wars Day, and Pat thinks hot dogs and macaroni and cheese are the correct festive supper.

Tell Pat I agree with his Festive Star Wars Day Supper. Excellent choice!

How many raised beds will you have? My two are full of garlic, so I need to build two more this month.

I wore my second new dress and my amber drop earrings and looked stuning,

Pictures?

Thanks folks. I got some today. I’ll start by spraying things that haven’t rusted yet. ;-)

Probably found your shoes occupied by a very amused looking Shan.

Kano Labs Aerokroil works well.
Works on some things that WD-40 won’t.
Both will kill wasps.
