I'm really news-ignorant this a.m. Tried not to pay attention over the weekend...
Anyway, It may be a little later before I can post some links...
I discovered over the weekend that I am illegal.
At least as far as driving my car is concerned.
I drove up to Benning in plenty of time, got the car registered, checked where building #4 is, and then pulled up to the gate to enter. But then the guard said, “did you know your license is expired?” My heart totally fell. I had no idea, but apparently it expired in February. Furthermore, the guard would not at all let me on base.
There was no bargaining with him either.
The end of the story is that JemiansTerror looks really good.
Thanks, Molly, for this week's thread and to lysie for last week's.
The Raven has just gotten the news that his Stud Muffinship crown has now been passed on to a NEW ATRW Stud Muffin by the name of TOBY! (Your present marital bliss status should ease the pain of being a once-upon-a-time (aka has-been) stud muffin, Rave. LOL)
Good to hear, Jemian, that you DID get to see your JT in spite of the problem....did he verify that you really are his mother, not an illegal immigrant?
I am constantly amazed, lysie, at the number and variety of the pictures you post. Where do you find so many appropriate ones?
More coffee........
This weekend I finally had the chance to get out and do some weeding between rainstorms. It is very soothing. But I do have some conclusions about the process.
Alwaysconservative’s Weeding Maxims
1. If it is difficult to pull out, it is a weed. If, on the other hand, it jumps into your hand to be pulled, it is probably a flower.
COROLLARY: The more expensive the flower, the easier it is to pull by mistake.
2. Grass will grow anywhere. . . that you don’t want it.
COROLLARY: The really healthy grass you pull from your flower beds will not take well to being transplanted into one of the bare spots in your lawn.
3. Nature abhors a vacuum and will fill that sucker with all kinds of weeds.
COROLLARY: The weeds that fill in a vacuum will bear a striking resemblance to the plants you want to grow there, and only when they choke out your intended plants will you be able to tell the difference between them.
4. A patch you just weeded will fill up with more weeds in the 15 minutes you spent going into the house for a cold drink and to wash your hands to answer the phone.
COROLLARY: In that same time frame, any plants you have in six-packs waiting to be put in the ground will wilt and die.
5. Weeding is a solitary activity.
EXAMPLE: It is better to be alone when you name all the weeds after your “favorite” Democrats and gleefully yank them from the grounds, saying: “Take THAT, Nancy”, or “See if you can swim in that garbage bag, Teddy”.
