Roll Eyes Last week I cleaned corn husks out of all the flower beds. Bah, I get so irritated with that mess. Just because I grew up on a farm doesn't mean I like all of it!
So.....after our 24 hours of 40mph winds guess what I get to do again!! Must be some way to make some cash off these things!!
"rustic butt-wipes" ??
" collectibles of 2003's crop"???
"a piece of the midwest" ???
OH! "midwest living LIVE!!" well, actually they are dead....hmmm
heh, this one's true "what the cat dragged in" I guess they think they are bringing me something pretty exciting.
I'm just a (patched up) Raggedy Ann in a Barbie doll world!

Yes! Well, as long as someone doesn't decide to send them back in. I sure hope not. I can't imagine being one of those soldiers. So excited to finally be getting out of that terrible place, and actually be on the way home. Then they tell you that you have to go back in. Terrible. They must be so angry and depressed. I don't think that will be a good army.
It will be another month at least proly. I'll just feel better when he's right here beside me! Smile

Uggg, I was up about 6 times and had to go look to see if water was coming up the basement drain again. Even tho the plumber said it was because the end of the drain tube froze up wayyyyy down at the ditch, I don't trust murphey!! I have drain-phobia!
Hubby was right , no water.....this time. I hope the plumber was right. He's supposed to be coming to put an overflow about 10feet back from the end of the tube. .....Maybe I should call and remind him. Heh, at 3am?!!!

I have carpal tunnel in my hands and a little arthritis in my knees ... I can usually tell when the weather is changing because my knees are stiff when I wake up Smile Aspirin works for me - I'm glad I don't have to go the prescription route yet.

Good ole Murph is getting me ... the weather is supposed to turn nice again, but by the time I have a day off it's supposed to rain! I swear, that's the only time the weather forecasts are right! I have a day off ... it rains Frown

Can't be as bad as butchering hogs! I remember in Arkansas when Great-Grandpa Smith and the great-uncles would do that, and thought we kids would enjoy the lesson. Instead, we all started crying and ran into the house, where my grandmothers turned up the radio, shut the curtains, and gave us sweet tea, chicken and dumplings, southern-style green beans, home canned peaches and fresh homemade pound to distract us from our distress.

I'm sure the men-folk got chewed out for poor judgement, but we kids had a party.

I wouldn't look forward to having to butcher an animal - I be city folk Smile Were it the difference between being a vegetarian or having steak on the plate I think I'd muster up the nerve to do it though! Actually, I think the only thing that would bother me is having to gut the animal. Carving it up into edible/usable pieces wouldn't be a problem (New York, Ribeye, Sirloin, Pot Roast,Porterhouse, Hamburger, jello makin's.....) Wink
