Oh no It's Happened in Florida!!!!
Mass Casualties in Florida
Huge Storm Hits Florida today!!!! Storm wipes out whole flock!!!!
Indoor Grilling gone a muck
Well this is turning out to be a bad start to a long weekend.... I was telling Val from Yarni Gras that I needed to get off the net and go fix me some dinner. So I started fixing my dinner.. I heated up my little ol George Forman... as I was cooking myself a KC Strip for dinner... I had the potato in the micro oven. I Threw the Steak on George and came back to send out some more emails.... I Smelled the steak cooking... oh my tummy started growling and my mouth started to drool.. and lo and behold when I went to take it off the grill... the George Forman had went Kapo-tooooot.
So there I was with a less than half cooked steak.... now mind you if it had been half cooked I would have suffered through it. But we are talking raw here. So I tossed that very expensive steak into the micro... Yep your right its tough as shoe leather now... At least I can say the potato came out yummy. I think I will eat the Potato and chop the steak up and make burritos out of it for tomorrow. Boy I hate to waste a good steak like that. The only thing I could think of as a worse faith for that steak was for the cat and dog to get it off the counter.... Agggggggggggggg Charlie Brown
I had a small flickering of lights as a storm is rolling in... I hope when the George cools down it will reset and start working again.. If that is a possibility.. who knows maybe its wishful thinking. Most likely wishful thinking. Well if it doesn't heat up tomorrow or later tonite when I try it again... I have to go buy a new one tomorrow.. "I " as a single can't live with out my George.. It is way handy for cooking that just one little lone some piece of meat :).jpg)

WHEN I'M 100, IF I LEAN A LITTLE, LET ME!
The family wheeled old George out on the lawn, in his wheelchair, where the activities for his 100th birthday were taking place. Old George had a mild stroke, couldn't speak very well, but he could write notes when he needed to communicate.
After a short time out on the lawn, old George started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed him, straightened him up, and stuffed pillows on his right.
A short time later, he started leaning off to his left, so again the family grabbed him and stuffed pillows on his left. Soon he started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed him and then tied a pillowcase around his waist to hold him up.
His grandson, who arrived late, came up to old George and said, 'Hi, Poppaw, you're looking good! How are they treating you?
Old George took out his little notepad and slowly wrote a note to him...
'They won't let me fart.'
More about my house :)
I purchased this old farm house and the porch was about to cave in. As if I hadn't spent enough money on the house all ready ... Now these were unexpected repairs...(New plumbing, new heating and air, insulation, and some electrical work ... all done with in 3 months of moving in.) (My money pit!!!!) LOL I call my little place:
The Oleo Ranch:
One of the cheaper spreads...
LMBO....
(not really cheap with the needed repairs right off the get go)
Ok back to the story I had to have a new porch. The old one would not do.
So when I decided how I wanted the porch done... I got estimates of the work to be done. So here is what they came up with first.
25 X 8 porch with two sets of steps. The cost from these guys were higher than Giraffe ears. I told them no thank you. I ended up talking to some guys out of the blue that said hey I can do that for you for X amount of money and here is what we can do for you.
They made me a huge porch 25 X 10, 16 X 20 extension off to the side, 3 sets of steps. The huge set on the front of the house was going to be straight up and down. I told them to angle them they said ok. It looks more inviting that way.

( There was to be a sidewalk leading from Drive way to porch. But as we all know things happen to detour our dreams a bit)
Ok Side tracked again on the story... let me see where was I???.. Ok you can't see the third set of steps from the picture. This set of steps leads to a huge concrete pad that I put my above ground pool on :) Now now people..don't get green with envy over my swanky pool.. it's ...A K-Mart blue light special .. at $49.00 at the end of the year sale. It's one of those you blow up the top rubber ring and fill it with water and there you go instant pool. The BBQ -er is on it too.

Next to that is my little (I mean little pond) " I had fish in it until this year I think the cranes ate them :-@ poor little fish!!!!!, although I had those fish for years... they had lots of babies (that I gave away) they were big fish really about a foot in length"
Humm Humm I keep getting side tracked.. on with the story...The guys also did a sidewalk all the way around my house and with the left over built a badly needed set of steps for my shed. And I got a set of steps thrown in too boot :) ( They did the steps as a surprise to me)
It had been an extremely hot June and July when they were putting the porch on. They asked me did I want the old cinder blocks removed ... where the old porch was. I told them heck no... I figured that would keep the creatures out from under the porch. (What a lame idea...the creatures still get under there) the guys were so thankful.. as the days were over 100 at the time.
So with it being that hot... I of course took them out cold drinks, fed them once in a while and told them to knock off in the afternoons if they wanted too. So I think that is why they surprised me with the steps to the shed.
If I had to work with anyone again building something at my house in the hot summer.. I would do the same thing again. People don't need to kill themselves doing a job. I don't like the heat of the day... and no one working outside should have to work that part of the day either.
I think that is why they invented naps :) We didn't have Air conditioning back when I was a kid and we always took a nap :)

Real Bloggy stuff :)
Hello everyone.. I have been reading a lot of blogs on the net for a while now. I think I just might have the hang of this blogging stuff. Or at least the concept of it. I think... I just might once in a while post a small or large blirp about me :) I think mostly the reason I haven't written anything personal in the past is....
1. I think I'm boring. I hear I am funny..but I just don't see it :)
2. I am a recluse... not a shut in... I just choose not to go out much. The reason for this is I love love love my home and I also love to sew. Can't do either one of those if you are gone ;)(I do work... so I have to go out for that) (DAnG DiRtY word!!!!)
3. I really didn't have the hang of what people say in their blogs until reading a million of them. Ok you got me there maybe not a million. But it sure seemed like a million ;) And I must say all of them had interesting and clever ideas and thoughts on them ;) I still don't have the hang of it yet .... but I am going to give this a try. I have read some blogs that look like they are written by Einstein and others that are... well you know the ones I am talking about. I am not here to point fingers or hurt feelings. If I say or do something that hurts your feelings... (Bite me!!) No not really....Just remember these words... You can't please everyone all the time..but some of the people some of the time. :) I am very opinionated and sassy. I sometimes stick my nose where it doesn't belong.. then I spend days looking to find where I left it ;) I don't want my little spot in the neck of the woods to be a big whine and cheese festival either. I want happy happy happy. But once in a while I might not be so happy. Like when the drunk driver hit me. That was not happy.
4. Up until now... I didn't really know what to say on here. Now I have made some very very very wonderful Internet friends. We share sewing ideas and tips. I even do apron swaps with them.
5. Its hard for a person who lives alone to come up with clever and wonderful ideas without having that daily interaction of others living in your home. So.... I guess you are going to hear about all the antics of my creatures that live at home with me.
6. So I say " Live live live ... life is a party" just like Auntie Mame says:)

God Is So Good!!
After starting a new diet I altered my drive to work to avoid passing my favorite bakery. I accidentally drove by the bakery this morning and as I approached, there in the window were a host of goodies. I felt this was no accident, so I prayed . "Lord, it's up to you, if you want me to have any of those delicious goodies, create a parking place for me directly in front of the bakery." And sure enough, on the eighth time around the block, there it was! God is so Good!"
Item talks about sex!!! Don't read if it offends you!!!
An Irish woman of advancing years talked to her physician to solicit his help in reviving her husband's flagging libido. 'What about trying Viagra?' asks the doctor. 'Not a chance,' she said. 'He won't even take an aspirin!'' Not to fret,'replied the doctor. 'Give him an Irish Viagra. ''What's an Irish Viagra, Doctor? ''That's where you just drop the Viagra into his morning coffee. 
He won't even taste it,' replied the doctor. 'Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.' Not even a week had gone by before she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to the progress of the experiment. The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, be jaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid, just too terrible, doc!''Really? What happened?' asked the doctor. 'Well, I did as you advised. I slipped the Viagra into his morning coffee and it took effect almost immediately. He jumped hisself straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging proudly! With one swoop of his arm, he sent the cups and tablecloth a flying , ripped me clothes totatters and took me then and there, making wild, mad, passionate love to me right on the tabletop! T'was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare! ''Why so terrible?' asked the doctor. 'Do you mean to say the sex your husband gave you wasn't any good?'' Oh, no, no, no, doctor, the sex was fine indeed! T'was the best sex I've had in twenty-five years! But sure as I'm sittin' here before you, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again!
