Nicely done Mrs. SFTLC!
To: All
Okay, before I funkle. Heading out in a few to Jr's football "banquet" to get his trophy and pictures (I still don't understand why
every kid on
every team has to get a trophy).
But here is Chapter Seven.

What a cutie!
Well, everyone in the Hobbit-hole has either cats, kids, dogs or other living things to show off....I just have a new truck. My first NEW vehicle ever, I just have to show it off...
Sorry for the off-topic, I just couldn't help myself. ;)

I thought about you during Mass today, Corin. The Gospel reading was the Parable of the Five Wise and Five Foolish Virgins!!
Did you get YOUR oil yet? We've had a warm spell the last few days. It is 63 degress today and I'm fixing to go out in short sleeves to put down the lime and fertilizer, thus finishing the yard work for 2002!
To: Penny1
Hullo Penny!
Pretty new truck! Glad you finally got down to pick it up!
My friend wimped out about coming down to shop for cloak fabric... something about still being sick ;~\ But hope still remains for tomorrow.

This P.O.'d my wife supremely and she yelled out at the top of her lungs to the crowd: "Jim McDermott is an Asshole!"Scott, you tell your wife I said "YOU GO GIRL"!!! She must have made those cops' day! They'll be talking about her for a long time, and enjoying it with every telling!
To: Penny1
Congrats on your new ride, Penny! I love that color. We got our very first brand new car the year of our 25th anniversary. Isn't it fun having new wheels?
To: Overtaxed
Shelob huh! - Cool!
To: SuziQ
It is 63 degress today It's warm and muggy here. Too warm for November. It feels like that day we had before the F4/F5 trashed North Raleigh.

To: SuziQ
Yes, I saw it! It's supposed to start raining here this evening. Don't know if we'll be getting the storms, though.
To: SuziQ
The forecast is for thunderstorms here on Monday and Monday night.

There are very few natural things that I am absolutely terrified of and spiders are one of them. Now you know the immense courage it took for me to hose off the front of the house. Spiders were dropping down all over the place and my skin crawled till I could get in and shower off! I just knew one was in my hair or something...
I am really dreading Shelob.

My wife was encouraged by your responses to the story...as if she needs any encouragement. She's got a bit of a temper to her if riled, and the "peace protesters" really rile her up! (Her dad was retired Navy frogman from WWII, her brother was a Navy pilot and our nephew is a Junior at the Air Force Academy -- so there's a lot of military background there).
She wanted to wade into the crowd and have it out with them 1 on 300. She'd have probably won. I convinced her that her quick, punchy retort was the best possible response and it could only go downhill from there!
Funny thing, a bunch of the crowd turned and looked at us, but no one said anything in response to her. Maybe they were nonplussed by all the laughing cops?
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Maybe they were nonplussed by all the laughing cops? Perhaps they were just nonplussed!
It is shocking for them to hear real people. This was probably their first trip to town (first trip off the Evergreen campus) in awhile, and they become a little culture-shocked when they re-enter the real world. We should invade them once in awhile and shout back. At least they weren't naked this time (unless you skipped that part of the story! ;~D)
To: HairOfTheDog
We should invade them once in awhile and shout back. LOL! Now that would be a switch, a Patriots Rally held on a college campus! You'd probably be joined by a LOT of students who may not venture to a downtown area to Freep a peacenik gathering.
To: SuziQ
Did you get YOUR oil yet? Not yet. It's warm here too. Probably in the 70s today. We had the football lunch outside this afternoon. I've got the doors open because it's actually colder inside than out!
I called the oil company and asked them to come tomorrow a.m. I didn't want to pay an emergency fee. If it was in the 30s, I'd pay it. But this isn't bad at all.
To: HairOfTheDog; Scott from the Left Coast
At least they weren't naked this time (unless you skipped that part of the story! ;~D) This time? Is there another story we've missed?
To: SuziQ; Scott from the Left Coast
You'd probably be joined by a LOT of students who may not venture to a downtown area to Freep a peacenik gathering. Not at Evergreen, dear. This is no ordinary college campus!

This is where all the anarchist WTO protesters get their training. It is the Al Quada elite training camp for peaceniks! Right her in my home town. I am so proud.
