No pigeon ... No Sandy Clause ... (That's where your mom issues written instructions to wash your feet off before getting in the car at the beach....)

But a gone chipmonk. Must of died sometime last night so the smell/bugs didn't get bad.

Gonna hafta replace the chimney cover and rainguard - both are in poor shape, but I don't see any specific place where the ex-munk got in.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm cuter than you....... ok, maybe not, but I get more sympathy........

[Conspiracy Guy]

Not bird nor plane or even frog, just little on me, Underdog.

[xsmommy]

Isabel adumbrates (def 1,2 & 3) all thoughts. Adumbrative (def 4) of what can happen to persons and property is information that is adumbratively handed out.

Adumbration while being adumbrated is adumbrating to the adumbrate.

[dixie sass]

I abhor poison ivy but adore pecans!

[Gabz]

Pre-emptive in order to get the state and national gaurd alerted.

[Gabz]

The rain you two are getting has NOTHING to do with the Hurricane.

It's just some showers/storms will be gone over night.

[Argh]

You mean pecans aren't just walnut wannabees?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thank you ........you should see him now - he got all slim and in shape in the spring while trying to get back into Reserves....... hubba hubba......

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Actually Gabz, it is from the previous Hurricane/Tropical Storm that was in the gulf..... can't recall the name....but you are right it has nothing to do with Isabel......

[Gabz]

TS Henri (the French strike again) is what is affecteng you.

It's an entirely different system coming from the west that is dumping on XS

[dixie sass]

No sweet Argh, they are a delicacy unto themselves.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is your right. I have no problems with poison ivy just the pecans. I guess I feel that the pecans lured me to climb the tree.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am dropping the pecan rant and focusing on the atheists that did not show up to flame me on my interview. But since I Declared that i would ignore them anyway, It is my fault. I feel like such a failure. Did you see my Farewell post to Johnny Cash Friday AM?
