She went back to the heard saying, "but Dad, I love him!".

Dad says, "you're not seeing any hunters!"

I've been there before, and they have pretty good food.

I was like sure what time and anything in particular you guys want me to make... Nope we owe you a dinner since you have cooked several times .. Ok what time do you want me to come up .. We thought we would take you out where would you like to go .. Hey you guys are buying so where ever you want.. Ok see you Wed yep.

I did page through the book and it has some funny stuff in :

Grandpa's Words of Wisdom
What Grandpa Has Learned About Success
At age 4, success is not peeing in your pants.
At age 12, success is having friends.
At age 17, success is having a driver's license.
At age 35, success is having money.
At age 50, success is having money.
At age 70, success is having a driver's license.
At age 75, success is having friends.
At age 80, success is not peeing in your pants.

What Grandpa has learned about growing old .
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
Forget health food . As you get older you need all the preservatives you can get .
When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
Time is a great healer but it's a lousy beautician.
Wisdom comes with age , but sometimes age comes alone ....

Just a few tidbits from the book lol

good morning and have a great day!!

 

Morning

 

That explanation would've saved a "crapper" pic

 

Well congrats to you my friend maybe someday I'll have such joyous news but no real hurry I guess

 

Dude, you should write redneck Harlequin books!

 

I still don't understand dr saying wait till I'm "older" for shingles shot. I swear I heard the girl say 70?
I may not live to see 70!
I go back to eye dr later. So far pain free even after cabinet replacement.

 

Congratulations!
I won't have the pleasure.
Guess it explains all the dogs?

 

Morning all. Cat is a good alarm clock but lousy at reading time.

It's been raining steady here, realize the pump isn't on, I hope the trench is doing its job.

That is one of those 'too bad' moments

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Congrats Gramps

 

I don't always pour a "two fingers" drink, but when I do, I use these:

 

Good morning, we all made it to Thursday. I know that I'm alive even the hairs on my head hurt this morning. Going to take a vacation and wait a few more hours before go out and hammer down on more ice today. Almost at the home stretch. Going to rain tonight hope don't get to start over.

That triggered a memory from long ago. I have a gap between 2 of my teeth that works perfectly for stripping phone and Ethernet wire strands. One day I was stripping a phone wire and had the hot wire in my mouth and someone dialed in just as my tongue hit the end. POTS may be low voltage but that was about enough to make me piss my pants, last time I ever did it to a phone wire.
