Yeah, I'm familiar with that problem!! LOL
On the other hand....seeing those furballs roll across the floor triggers the "critical mess" signal quicker so I vacuum more often.
Our furballs are being trapped by the 50 million files I have stacked on the floor. I really hate tax time!
Oh yeah, Kermit had those 'happy feet'! ;o)
Rose, later, as she wrenches his frozen hand from her own: "Goodbye, Jack".
Ain't gonna be nuthin genteel about the de-crapping at MY house!
So...are the flames for the garbage, or for them what wants me to take theirs for 'em?
WooHoo!
Found the spackling compound!
In among the furballs?
Hehehe....
*blow, blow. wipe, wipe*
That fur really sticks!
I'm learning where the popular out-of-the-way kitty places are as I'm going here.
I never realized quite how much they must like the back corner of my bedroom closet.
I could almost build my own cat...
Robocat!
As an aside, we have plaster walls. We had to take a couple of walls down and discovered that one of the ingredients used in the plaster was horsehair. Don't know why, maybe it helped the plaster stick together.
Had a neighbor, "Crazy Bob", who plastered his walls and used his two labrador's fur sheddings in the plaster. The new owners, after he died, came in and took all those walls down!!
I have crap in a bundance...
That makes it easier...just throw out the whole bundance!
Well, I'm back. A truly wonderful experience. I'm guessing bout 500 tables; all filled with wonderous delights. Just about anything you could want or need was there. Didn't find anything that tripped my trigger, so to speak, enough to dig out the dinero. There was much visiting and the occasional oooh, ahhhh. Dang, when did that get so 'spensive. Now for some restful contemplation.
Not too dang much melting going on. Branches and blades of grass all still encased in their icy sheaths. Neighbor is maintaining his typical attitude of "I didn't put it there" as his reason for not picking up a dang twig or branch, even to the point of parking in front of our house since he has branches where he normally parks in front of his house.
when I was stationed at 29 Palms, used to go down tuh the Pomona Fair grounds twice a year fer the big gun and knife show... 5 miles of tables... everything from the latest gear and guns, reloading, to militaria, to antiquities... if'n it t'weren't there, it didn't exist... events like this had the SoCal gungrabbers screamin' blue murder... heh heh heh...
yuh know, a valve stem remover comes in mighty handy from time tuh time... and if'n yuh don't want tuh be subtle, bury an axe in between his runnin' lights...
Sounds like the Tulsa Show - if you don't pick it up when you first see it, you'll never find the right table again.
One display I think you'd liked. Military Winchesters including our favorite the '97 Trench, and several 6mm Navy Lee's. USMC apparently used 'em for a while. One photo of some Marines with them in China circa 1900.
Some fine Kentucky's were to be had. There was also great leather work on holsters. A few of these guys are really getting good.
Afternoon Sam, been spending some quality time with the bow making?
