Yeah, we had to put pontoons on the mowers today - I am NOT working Saturday. The kids start their swim lessons Saturday, and we have to hammer out with Todd when to look at more houses....this house hunting thing is interesting, but difficult.
To: The Coopster
I know about the househunting. I think we looked at 40 houses when we moved here in 1980, and it is SO frustrating! You keep thinking "Maybe this will be the one" and then you go in and the entire house is purple, or needs massive re-plastering, or smells like goats, etc. etc.
Glad I don't have to do it, let me tell you.
I am getting ready to go to the grocery. Got to stock up for tomorrow's visit by your genius children. Your dad is going with me, so we will probably spend WAY more than I want. He thinks it is fun, however. (Rolling eyes and shaking my head.)
To: Miss Marple
or smells like goats,LOL! I never had that experience while house hunting.
T-storms here and Trill's dog is going nuts with the thunder. I'll be glad when they get back.

...and then you go in and the entire house is purple, or needs massive re-plastering, or smells like goats, etc. etc. Man, you hit the nail on the head. I now have a shag carpet story to rival your orchid wallpaper story.....
And I've also discovered that if the listing report says "cellar", it means just that. Dirt floor and all....
To: Miss Marple
And for a preview of your weather tomorrow.......we are getting another down-pour here, at the moment. Buckets and buckets of water. We've been trying to go to an outdoor Shakespeare festival all week, but I'm imagining that Forest Park would be nothing but a muddy mess. It's a picnic type thing, bring your supper and camping chairs.
Shoot, and they were doing Macbeth this year!
To: A Citizen Reporter
Back from the grocery. A new record of $245!! We just HAD to buy those ingredients for an anti-pasto, those filets, and the Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Don't get me started.
I did pick up a Chutes and Ladder game at half price, which I think is going to come in handy tomorrow, based on your weather report!
To: Neets
I need someone to cook for besides me. I'm afraid that Trill is going to notice that the dogs have gained weight. ;>)

I've eaten pretty well on the $9.78 that I spent on Tuesday. Of course, I'm only feeding one, and the meat was of undetermined origin. I should be able to eat on what I bought through the weekend. Beans, rice, tamales, tortillas, lots of the cheap carbohydrates.
I did run out of lard last night. And there won't be a meat fabrication class until next month, so I won't have fat to render until then. Lipids are expensive. ;>)

To: JRandomFreeper
To put this in perspective, I try to hold the grocery bill to $100 a week...and that includes pet food and cleaning supplies.
When Mr. Marple is allowed in the store, the sky's the limit. He is the original impulse buyer. My choice is blowing the food budget or getting into a shouting match in the store. I opted for the former, it being Father's Day weekend and all.
To: Miss Marple
I remember having food budgets that large. Back when I was employed. ;>)
Now that I'm broke, the dogs are nervous and the cats don't stand still in any one place for very long. Protein being protein and all..... ;>)

Hey, Dick Morris was on H & C and he has a new book coming out on Thursday. It is about X42 and the Pantsuit, and it is called (ta-da):
Off With Their Heads!!!
This as a stealth publishing coup, coming right after Hillary's tome. I am most pleased.
It details all the screw-ups he observed, including the terrorism fiascos.
To: Miss Marple
On a serious note, I have determined that the food-stamp payment (I don't qualify, I'm conservative) is adequate to really feed a family well if someone has a clue about cooking. A 5 pound bag of masa harina de maize and beans is cheap and filling. Add a little mystery meat into the mix.. (I've got my y2k Spam to use up anyway) and some peppers and a few fresh veggies, and you can actually feed a family pretty well. Gardens help.
I think boxed and canned foods are a hold-over from the cold war and not economical in any sense. Macaronni and cheese is way over-priced when you consider the ingredients.

I've never been pleased with Richard, and won't buy his book either. But I hope it does better than the Junior Senator from New York's book.

HEHEHE!!!!!
On a totally unrelated subject, here is a FANTASTIC letter that Gov. Jeb Bush wrote .... he really told it like it is to one of Florida's Senators .....
ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE -- LETTER FROM GOV BUSH TO SENATOR NELSON (MUST READ -- GREAT LETTER)
An excerpt:
Thank you for your letter of June 5, detailing your views on how best our state can use the federal funds recently approved by Congress as part of the economic stimulus package championed by the President. I must confess that I was disappointed that you voted against this package in the United States Senate. Had your view prevailed, Florida would not be receiving the fiscal relief about which you write. Even more importantly, Floridians would not now be receiving the very significant tax relief which will help spur our economy.

Is that REALLY Morris's book jacket.
To: Iowa Granny
YES! I pulled it right off of Amazon!

Senator Graham is really taking a beating here in Iowa. Here's a blurb from today's Iowa Presidential Watch litany.
Campaign insanity continues as Florida media finds yet another reason to ridicule Graham. The Miami Heralds Peter Wallsten won the latest round in the on-going competition by Grahams home state reporters to expose his Don Quixote approach to Dem presidential politics. (The Orlando Sentinel prevailed in the last round by exposing Grahams campaign song and calling it corny.) Under the headline Graham seeking votes and dollars with CD, Wallsten wrote yesterday in the Heralds online edition: Bob Grahams presidential tour now comes with a CD. The Bob Graham Charisma Tour 2004, dedicated to promoting the upstart White House bid of Floridas senior U. S. senator and occasional amateur a cappella performer, is due out within days. Those who might question the title Graham, known for his earnest delivery, is not one to throw rhetorical red meat to the crowds can ponder their nay-saying to the tune of Weve Got a Friend in Bob Graham, or tap their toes to the Latin-beat, Spanish version, Arriba Bob! The candidate himself has already debuted some lines to decidedly mixed reviews. A crowd of about 300 cheering Iowans fell to a momentary stunned silence Sunday when Graham informed them he was about to sing. Capping an otherwise-cerebral speech about the Iraq war, weapons of mass destruction and education, Graham told the audience that there was one final but critical reason they should consider voting for him: Weve got a song. Youve got a friend in Bob Gra-ham thats what everybodys say-in-
All across the good ol USA. At first, from the crowd, awkward silence. Then a few claps. Then all-out laughter, hooting and hollering. Undeterred and unfazed, the 66-year-old grandfather chanted on: From the Atlantic to the Pacific, we all say hes terrific. Thats why America need Bob Gra-ham to-day. The performance was carried live nationally on C-SPAN and repeated throughout the day. The early returns on Grahams campaign song were not good. The initial reaction (300 voters) this morning to a Herald online poll responding to the question, What do you think of Bob Grahams campaign song? was not impressive or favorable: Love it 28%, Hate it 72%.

The cartoon of Graham is GREAT. Press the Daily Report icon on the left side of the page for all the goodies we've come to expect from this site.

I've found a cute graphic for you to use on LIVE threads ......
