[Conspiracy Guy]

Yes I'm proud and camp eat a bug will be a blast. I had survival training as a civilian (books and growing up in the dang woods). I can suvive in most environments. Have tested my skills in mountain and backwoods. Would like to try desert even at my advanced age.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Bye going to go home looks like another Tstorm or two. Slip put in zip 35126 and you'll see what Laura Earl and I would get if we hadn't moved to Bahamas.

[xsmommy]

whoa, good one , dubs! ; )

[xsmommy]

awwww, thanks, HD! : )

[xsmommy]

slippy are you still messing with Grimmy's hose?

[Slip18]

There is a book about a man who decided to walk through Death Valley, which is one of the hottest places on earth. He put air condition fluid in his space-type suit. Then he put a lever under his armpit, and when he wanted to cool off, he just raised and lowered his arm. He frozed to death in 125 degree heat.

You can survive the heat in the desert if you're careful. Cacti offer a lot of fluid that is perfectly safe.

i do remember that storm and i was sorry to miss you guys on your honeymoon. we went to dinner for anniversary and were going to go to a movie but xskids called in panic bc the power had gone out, so we just went home.

slippy are you still messing with Grimmy's hose?

Not only that she threatened to chill Cyber's.

[Slip18]

Grimmy has a lovely hose, but it won't reach to AZ. We've had a lively discussion in here about hoses.

[xsmommy]

yes i had multiple child related duties this afternoon. for one thing xsboy was missing at the country club when i went to retrieve him. i looked for 15 min. and could not find him, the woman offered me a golf cart to go and look for him. i gave her an icy stare and said, i have never been on a golf cart in my life i am not about to go in search of him on one. so i left him. his father had to leave work to go and retrieve him bc by that point, i had 3 other places i needed to be with the other two kids. i was fuming at xsboy!

[xsmommy]

i could have used a hose to calm down this afternoon when i was having my fit!

[Slip18]

Sheesh. You were busy today.

I did give Flurry a grade. I borrowed the grade book. He flunked today.

How's the new pup?

[xsmommy]

very sweet and well behaved, he has had fewer than a handful of accidents in the house in a week's time, which seems pretty remarkable for a 3 mo old babypup.

it is raining here, slippy, i hope you are not J of me. i am sure xs2pup will not want to go out in that!

[xsmommy]

slippy can be MUCH more ribald than i, in her postings! i don't know why grimmy thought i was tutoring YOU, slippy! you taught me all i know : )

[Slip18]

I am jealous of you! You have rain. We're getting alerts still, but haven't had any droplets. It's the only thing that cools this town down.

What kind of spaniel is xs2pup?

[Slip18]

Just spit out my wine cooler with that one, xs!

[xsmommy]

i have a big bucket outside and i am attempting to save some rain to fed ex you, slippy : )

he is a cavalier king charles spaniel. the kind that ronald reagan had in the WH back in the 80s, who was named Rex. he is a conservative pup and his fave channel is fox news : )

[xsmommy]

you KNOW it's true, my eyes bug out of my head with some of the stuff you say!! LOL!

[xsmommy]

the TX dems need beat with a rubber hose, grimmy!

[Slip18]

Danged storm passed right by us again. But there's another one behind it. Hopefully, we'll get that one. And, yes, I do need that bucket of water. Oh, well, bucket, if you get my gist.

He's a gorgeous doggie. I do so love spaniels. Can he jump really high yet? My old Brittany could jump over six foot fences in just a leap.
