Emergence from MIA status
It’s nice to be missed…Thanks for writing, Tami. Things have just been a little busier around here the last two weeks or so and I’ve not taken time to write much of anything. I’ll try to do a little catching up.
Just a test
I am testing enjoying this cuneAform HTML editor extension in Firefox. Woooo! It’s a WYSIWYG HTML editor. It makes my coding SO much easier for my blog entries, and it runs right within Firefox.
Home remedies
Thanks to Angie for forwarding these fine Home remedies…
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.
4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for awhile, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer, then you will forget about the tooth ache.
AND….. Sometimes we just need to remember what The Rules of Life really are:
You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn’t, use the duct tape.
Voyeur du jour
Another fine example of a geek with a fetish. Too many electronics, probably too much time, too much testosterone, too many issues. It’s funny, yet not. Imagining this idiot running from a screaming mamma through Kroger is delightful, though. I’d love to have seen that.
More than just purple
The following photos are particularly for Tami.
Thinking about iris and lilies
Iris and lilies are almost the perfect garden plants; they come in a huge variety of colors, fill our eyes and noses with pleasure, bloom at all different times of the season, plus they’re virtually no maintenance except popping the mush mummies off them when they’re spent. What more could we ask for as gardeners? They give us the gift of time to pamper and cajole the high-maintenance plant divas in our gardens.
I give you one of my favorites, a bearded iris, whose name I do not know:
Lucky 13
WoOoOoOo! I’m thirteen pounds down since Howie and I started dieting April 30. We ARE going to do it this time. As of Howie’s last weigh-in, he’d lost 29 32 pounds. He weighs weighed again today.
