I know, I know.

I'm in a real "I Hate Katie" mood today; because last night she was ALL OVER MSNBC and I nearly gave my self carpal tunnal from slamming the remote button every time I saw her perky mug.:(

[Miss Marple]

Oh, the funeral dream!

The one where there is a tiny notice on page 8 of the NYT which says WJC, disgraced former President, passed away.

Then, through the streets of Little Rock, a small caravan containing a hearse and 2 cars wends its way slowly through the back streets, unnoticed by most.

On a street corner stands an old woman in a Bush/Cheney t-shirt, holding an American flag. As the hearse passes, she stands erect, nods, and smiles.

Then her daughter leads her to the car and takes her home. I am that woman.

I love thinking about that! Howlin said she would go with me. We are in training to outlive him!

Because of our topsy-turvy schedule, we don't sit around on the deck in the evenings as I would like but we do find time to spend out there quite often, especially on weekends.

Btw, your solution to my plant problem was perfect. We had just put thingies under the plants to keep the pots up off of the new deck. Since we have started watching for accumulated water, the plants are much happier ...... and we killed off a bunch of mosquito larvae, too. In view of the presence of West Nile virus around here, that is a good thing.

Also, the azaleas we had planted out front were not doing well at all. We were blaming it on the drought, though that was the one place we were splurging and continuing to water regularly. Then one day a technician for the company we now have coming to spray our yard for weeds, etc. came by ..... he took one look at the plants and told us we had lace bugs. We've sprayed them several times and the plants are looking much better ..... and are beginning to show some color for their fall blooming ....... :-)

[Howlin]

Yeah, but my sign isn't going to be quite so nice. You may not want to stand close to me.

[kayak]

Well, Howlin can just stop by my house on the way and pick me up ....... I'd like to go, too ........ :-)

[Dog]

All we play at my store is country music........not even the modern stuff.....stuff from the 50's...LOL!

[MozartLover]

"A good caring woman? What's that???"

You do live dangerously, don't you???

[illstillbe]

Good. You're here. I have been wanting to ask you how your Mom is doing ... and I just did.

I
am
on
an
infliction
strike

HA!

[Dog]

Include me....walker and all.

[MozartLover]

Mom's doing better. She had cataract surgery on both eyes this summer and is happy to be seeing COLORS again. Her lung tests came back okay; not wonderful, but okay. Her depression is, for now, improved. And her basement hasn't flooded once all summer.

All in all, not too bad.:)

Did you get my freep-mail the other day???

[Howlin]

We'll just hire a handicapped van and toodle right on out there. We can stay at spectre's!

[kayak]

Trivia question of the day:

What is a pharologist?

I'll post the answer and a really neat link in a few minutes ......

[MozartLover]

I'll bring a portable keyboard and play "Happy Days Are Here Again".;^)

Or, "Ding Dong The ******* Is Dead". ;^)

[Bitwhacker]

You do live dangerously, don't you???

You can tell that she's not here yet, can't you????

[kayak]

ROFL!!!

The Ultimate FReep ..... and perhaps the most joyous of all!

[Dog]

For the Daily Double,Alex.....

Who is a person who studies the Pharoh's,

[kayak]

That would be great!!!!

[Miss Marple]

Hey, what will I care? I am going to be a MEAN old lady!

My daughter will probably wait in the car, though! Ha!

[Dog]

I was joking in my first answer....

Its a beacon keeper ....of lighthouses.

[Miss Marple]

LOL! I ought to spend some time and compose a thread about that, titled "The Ultimate Freep."
