No Tinfoil needed

[Silentgypsy]

Good evening, Mr. moose! (Is the time correct?)

Some of the full-time road warriors do launder their clothing that way. We have an excess of easily-available rough roads around here, but they rattle the daylights out of some of the components. (The inverter really gave us a scare last week—or was it the week before?) I’ll do the plunger thing if necessary. “That which does not kill you....” I appreciate the suggestions! You are a constant source of enlightenment.

For short stories I was thinking of checking out “The Writer’s Market” and looking for a periodical. That may be too old school.

*********************************

It's worth a try. Amazon also publishes quite a few short stories and novellas.

Some of those unpublished authors on Amazon have some real gifts for constructing stories. Barnes & Noble does that as well, and I’ve read some very good stories on both of them.

Yes, some are surprisingly good, and it's an exciting development in publishing.

That which does not kill you

Sometimes I want to find the authors of those aphorisms and give them a swift kick in the patootie. In my experience, that which does not kill you often makes you wish it had.

Great. How did I get post 666? Now I’m gonna have Kafka dreams all night.

We have a metal washtub, a glass scrubby board like my mom used to use, a rain barrel, but no wringer. However, you can put a vise grip thingy up on a good, stable stud, secure the laundered articles in the grip, and twist the article from bottom to top. I worked out with a body builder who used to twist the moisture out of her pool towel every day. Her forearms were awesome.

That’s a nice pattern for a Jeep camo application.

I think TOL is the soap expert here. I don’t know how to do the lye and ash thing. I just learned this A.M. how to substitute instant yeast for dry and versy vicey.

[Silentgypsy]

I have instructions somewhere for making a bow out of PVC tubing. The arrows sound too difficult.

You can make a marshmallow blowgun!

If that’s a heart, it’s missing a few vital components. If it’s an artery, it needs some structural support. Sometimes your pix mystify me.

[ArGee]

Is THAT what it was supposed to be. I thought it was a nettie pot so you could pour the coffee directly into your brain.

[Silentgypsy]

That was Nietzsche, I think. His patootie is in no condition to be kicked. I did adopt the “trial by fire” philosophy until I retired.

[Silentgypsy]

Metamorphosis=groaty.

[Silentgypsy]

I already have a blowgun. What kind of target do you use for marshmallow ammo?

Gotta get going. For some reason, I can’t shut up. Calls for nic change.

S’mores? Those little chocolate squares and graham crackers would require superior accuracy. There is someone either on the UT or accessible to a UTer who can expound on the aerodynamic properties of marshmallows. SYL
