"Second Breakfast at Tiffany's",

I like that one a lot!
Well, I'm gonna be in and out today. The yard needs re-seeding in places. We're gonna try a drought tolerant, slow growing type mixture just so see how it holds up. Then I have to put some stain blocking primer on the den ceiling. The tank on the toilet in our bathroom started to leak last week and before we realized it and fixed it, a big water stain appeared above my head in the den.

I have the homeschool teen group coming over tomorrow for lunch, so I need to do some big time cleaning as well!!
Later folks! I'll check from time to time to see how close we are to the quadruple precious!

And you're not making that up are you? ;-)

No, strangely. The stories on TV were based on the journals of a guy who grew up near me. One of the family was actually my teacher then.

She taught second and third grade simultaneously in the same room, which was heated by a coal stove. She didn't have lavishly funded "programs," the NEA, or any of what modern education seems to require, but she got it done beautifully. She did have a paddle, with holes in it to make it sting more, or maybe the holes made it whistle when she whacked you with it or something.

I'm not known for my tact or sugar-coating the facts...

Dwarves don't sugar-coat.

Elves might. Frodo did say they will say "both yes and no"...

The origin of lawyers?

Kyle could be ours, huh?

Yup. We could use the rain. If only we could get it without the wind.

It ain't like that here in VA...but back in Iowa, you'd be hard pressed to find a boy in school or a man in town during the season...

Legolas would have made an EXCELLENT deer hunter.

I'll give yuh that... but I've been close enough to many deer to put 'em down with an axe... I've actually reached out and touched a deer on two occaisions during turkey season...you shoulda seen 'em jump outta their skins...

I see Hair found us another Florida hobbit.

Morning Sam. Yes she did. Pretty soon we'll have a majority and then we can begin implementing our agenda! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I still have the same dentist now that I had when I was a little kid. That means he has been my dentist thirty years! His hygenists have even been there since I was little!

He doesn't even look that old now. Is it possible he is some kinda alien droid, doing some kind of study, or planting some wicked device in everyone's mouth?

We're still beating 'em with regards to post numbers, right?

Yes, The Neverending Story is at 25,108 posts. I know we have more than our share of spam (right Corin?) but I don't think we have THAT much spam. ;^)

I think the Florida agenda would be to keep everyone so confused they could never figure out how to elect someone new. The ballots baffle 'em!

Same here...and same deal goes for him with regards to aging. Spoooooky! Maybe it IS an alien plot to study us, or take over the world!

You are right about that Hair. We are only beating out the current version of TNS. I don't remember the approximate number of posts that have been written during the past year and a half.

Maybe angelo can help.
