No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?
It’s quit raining anything now. *\:-(
We’re in for some rain tomorrow, but we need it. Lawns are turning brown.
Actually, no, but he played one at the UT. Stag hasn't posted for over two years.
Perhaps I shouldn't have accused him of being an adolescent, but I was reluctant to research and document everything I was writing about. Mostly I went from memory.
We had a couple of hours of really stormy weather, and it looks as though another band of thunderstorms is about to roll in.
One of these days ...
What, "Pow, right in the cumulus?"
Thanks for the synopsis. I think the “short” version should be posted via ping with the move and maybe once or twice during the month. That would give newcomers an idea of what’s happening without having to read all the links.
Plus it would remind all of us why we’re here.
Good morning. Where’s that rain again?
Morning TC!
How are things in Teeceeville?
Okay. The lizard’s still alive, for now. Der Prinz has just left for a week in D.C.
How are you?
I’m here. A little tired today, but I’m going to do absolutely NUTHIN’!
OK...revise that: I’ll FReep and eat.
:o]
Tough little lizard! I’m glad he’s struggling to stay alive.
I don't know, maybe they're not supposed to eat! If he makes it another week, we'll have to take him on vacation with us :-).
LOL! What does he eat besides crickets? Flies? Ants?
Maybe one of the Boy Scouts will take him before your vacation.
That’s the problem. All the information we can find says he should eat crickets (as small as possible, or they’d eat him), but he doesn’t seem to be eating any. On the other hand, as tiny as he is, he could be nibbling bits so small that we can’t tell. The thing’s about as long as my little finger (mostly tail) and the thickness of a pencil lead.
If he’s still surviving after this long, he’s most likely eating some of the cricket.
You’d probably need as magnifying glass to notice any “bites.”
Rain is heading into Mass.
Why, you want some?
Grandparents and Grandchildren
She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!”
*****
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, “62.”
He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the 3-year-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?”
*****
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: “We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.”
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!”
*****
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?”
I mentally polished my halo while I asked, “No, how are we alike?”
“You’re both old,” he replied.
*****
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
“What’s it about?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” she replied. “I can’t read.”
*****
I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued.
At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, “Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!”

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, “It’s no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.”
*****
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not sure.”
“Look in your underwear, Grandpa,” he advised. “mines ays I’m four to six.”

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, guess what? We learned how to
make babies today.”
The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. “That’s interesting, “she said, “how do you make babies?”
“It’s simple,” replied the girl. “You just change ‘y’
to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.”

Children’s Logic: “Give me a sentence about a public servant,” said a Teacher.
The small boy wrote: “The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.”
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. “Don’t you know what pregnant means?” she asked.
“Sure,” said the young boy confidently. “It means carrying a child.”

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties.
“They use him to keep crowds back,” said one child.
“No,” said another, “he’s just for good luck.”
A third child brought the argument to a close. “They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire hydrants.
Those are cute!
Yah...I thought so, too! Something good for soon-to-be stormy Sunday.
Cute stuff!
