Another two-fer day, including another cat cartoon, both from 2008. There were a lot of interesting comments yesterday; I regret I didn’t have time to contribute anything myself. In the much-heralded future, I’ll try to be better about that. I do read your comments most days. Not all, I admit! Speaking of changes, there is one significant change I plan to make and probably soon. I want to tell you about it, so when it happens you won’t hyperventilate. The retro cartoon, the cornerstone of our existence here, will consist of a visually arresting link to an old cartoon on the GoComics Web site. I will choose the cartoon personally and comment on it here, all as before. Ah, come on now! It just means one more little click from you. And I will get credit for your visit. The GoComics Web site is very dear to the Powers That Be these days. Well, we’ve been here, doing this, for 20 years now, and I think we should make our presence felt! The blog here, the overall appearance, all the familiar trappings will remain as they are, for now. And when the Big Changes do come, I’m going to look after you. Try not to fret.

Bought tiny daughter a Ford Explorer, the big one. She loves it. Is a pickup too redneck? I love that caribou brown one of mine which is the Ecoboost six. Very powerful engine. It towed that boat like nothing back there and if you don’t watch it you end up doing 90 and not knowing it.
Are you stuck on black? I think the extended cab in black with black leather seats and some extra chrome would be a classy ride. Incident ly I named my pickup Trigger.
Who mentioned marriage? We still haven’t been introduced.
Good morning Villagers…
…and a good day to you, Old Bear
Aww…the little darlings in public areas. When Mom had her bridal store, brides often brought in their children..arrggghh! My sister bought Mom a sign that said “Unattended children will be sold as slaves”. Loved that one.
Had one little boy stomping on the wooden platform that had big mirrors in front and back so the bride could see herself in panorama…I came out of my office, looked at the little boy who asked me “hey, what’s under here?”…I calmly and slowly said “other little boys.” He ran calling out for his mom…wicked, aren’t I 🙂
Steve, I’ve given that some thought too, car problems going to work in the winter. But we’re so isolated here from towers, the one area I drive with no housing, I would not get any signal on anything.
I think we’ve given up on the Isuzu….could be the fuel pump. My Farm Manager told me to start the car and have Ian thump real hard on the fuel tank, and if it stays running, it’s the fuel pump…which is in the fuel tank. I’m going to hold out and see what we get from selling the homestead and just go buy a new vehicle…which will be the last one I buy in my life.
Chicken entrails, GR? Not going there 🙂
ya’ll have a blessed day….
GR 😉 yes, there was a time when I…

Thanks. If they are approved, I’ll order at least a coffee mug.
Does anyone know if they are approved?
I have a nice email that I get every day that is a reflection of the Daily scriptures of the Catholic Church. When it first started out, they cut and pasted the scripture from the US Council of Bishops website(USCCB), but they wrote the church that did the reflections and asked that they link the scripture. Sometimes I click, often I can recognize the scripture from the reflection. Since there is no advertising on the USCCB site, I guess that they just want the reader to view the other material on the website.
Going back to bed. Despite my best efforts I still wake at 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Just wake up. It is an internal alarm and they are hardest to turn off and reboot.
Had complicated and highly detailed nightmares that just resumed after intermissions. All night. The dog does the best he can and is never more than a few inches away.
Opening Pandora’s box is seldom a good idea for me. More come out than exploding hearts and butterflies.
Did I mention I bought a small jade tail? It is either a whale or a mermaid. I would have like to have had a complete mermaid but I wanted the jade for strength.
When I think about replacing one of my current vehicles I realize I can’t get what I need in an American vehicle and that is sad. Because I live on a hill I need a small AWD sedan for winter. Not a gas guzzling SUV. I have a Subaru Outback which is waiting for the rack on the rack and pinion steering to be replaced, but it is a 2002 and I would like to replace the vehicle. No inexpensive US AWD drive sedans though, boo. More cost effective just to replace the rack and drive it a while longer. Wish I could get a Subaru Impreza though, that would solve the problem.
Jackie, if things do work out (if I could just get Debbe to read me some entrails…), and I get the Explorer, I’ll name it “Bullet”.
Dowry-wise, I’ll have you know I couldn’t be had for less than two goats, a duck, and six chickens.
Darn, I only have four chickens right now. Ducks and goat are easy. I wanted one to hang out with two dogs in back yard.
By the way, I thought dowry was what family paid to get rid of the daughters. Are you saying you want the Goat, , goat and chickens paid to you or to me?
