Odd food concoctions

Somehow recently the conversation turned to strange food combinations. I think this was about the time I was watching Daughter Number Three put ketchup on her broccoli and cauliflower while making a macaroni and cheese sandwich. I was reminded of my father, who liked to open a can of split pea with ham soup and, […]

Obituary

Today I’m mourning the passing of a truly great individual.
I knew he was in poor health and not long for this Earth, but I only learned of his death when I Stumbled Upon this page:

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us […]

I read it on the internet

The other day I happened upon a list of 30 random facts that was posted at PurpleSlinky.com and found a couple of these “facts” a little hard to believe.
I’m not going to reprint the whole list here. You can click the link above for the list.
“Fact” number one on their list says,

Another joke for you

I found this and thought I’d share:
Mr. Smith goes to see his manager in his Wilmington NC real estate office.
“Boss,” he says, “we’re doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”
“We’re shorthanded, Smith,” the boss replies. “I can’t […]

Random joke

Since I can’t actually think of anything else at the moment… here’s a joke you may have already heard:
A man goes to Frederick’s of Hollywood.
He wants to buy his wife the most sheer lingerie he can find.
The woman behind the counter goes and gets an outfit.
“This is $200,” she says.
“I want one that’s more sheer,” […]

Now I’m hungry

Yesterday afternoon or so I got an email from my little sister (I’ll bet now that she’s a grandmother she must love it when I use that phrase!) that I thought I’d share here instead of forwarding it to 26,547 people.
I would normally give credit to either the photographer, or the website where the pictures […]

How do they do that

After posting the picture of the poor kitten under the faucet, I had to spend a while looking around at other pictures on www.icanhascheezburger.com. I really want to know how people come up with some of the pictures there. Take this one, for example:

Do you have any clue how long I would have to stand […]

Leave it to her

Daughter Number Three is our resident cat nut expert. She walks around carrying The Encyclopedia Of Cats most of the time. Last night, while watching a movie on television, she was lying on the floor and fell asleep using that encyclopedia as a pillow!
Given how obsessed with interested in cats she is, I really shouldn’t […]

Busy Weekend

I didn’t put this post up yesterday because the one that I did put up had been nagging at my brain and insisted on being done first. Here’s a quick summary of what else happened in the last few days:
Thursday, March 20th, I’m sure you’ve heard, was the first day of Spring. I still haven’t […]

A guy walks into a bar…

A friend of mine handed me a printout of these jokes a while back. I’ve lost the printout, but I thought I’d share what I could remember of the jokes. Are you ready?
A man walked into a bar. “Ouch!” he said.
A guy walks into a bar wearing a pair of jumper cables around his neck. […]
