Why is it that you prep the area by loosening the soil, spread the seed and water with religion and it doesn't grow, but the stray seeds that land in places that you don't want grass (like in the flower beds, or cracks in the sidewalk) grow just fine w/out any attention at all?
I also think that we need to start a program for helping/teaching squirrels how to cross the street. You ever really watch them? They run to the middle, stop, turn back half way, stop, turn around and go the way they started, stop then continue. It all starts in the home...
How unlucky do you have to be to be the State Trooper that draws the keys to the trooper mini-van? I saw three troopers driving (in a row) first and third one in a regular car, the guy in the middle in the van. I mean I've seen trooper cars parked in some driveways around here... how'd you like to be the guy with the trooper mini-van parked in your drive? What's the mini-van gonna chase down... mopeds?
I've decided that most of my children would perish if they were prey in the wild as they seemingly can't walk let alone flee a predator. They fall at random for no apparent reason.
When did fiber, or as it used to be called back in the day (at least in my house) roughage, become one of the basic food groups?
And to wrap all this pointlessness with something meaningful...
Not cool, but hot!
Jake had a hankerin' for some jell-o with dinner and volunteered to make it, but in the end had to settle for being made a salad.
We have a water cooler, have had it for years... we just like to hang around it and talk... anyhow, this cooler also heats water. For many years we used it mostly for making tea and jell-o... and more recently warm-hot cocoa - don't ask.
As mentioned, Jake wanted to make some jell-o. He got the measuring cup and proceeded to fill it with hot water, then somehow proceeded to pour about two cups all over himself... his left hand/wrist taking the brunt of the burnt. He's got a ring of blisters around his wrist.
So after running it under cold water and then having him soak it in a bowl of cold water until you could wring out his hand... to help soothe the burning we read that cucumber gel (or aloe gel) would ease the pain. Not having any cucumber gel (nor aloe gel) on hand, Julie sliced up some cucumber and we placed slices on his wrist and arm... thus making Jake a "salad". He's doing fine.
And lastly (and certainly not leastly) congratulations to Lynn Pettus for her Boston Marathon accomplishment. If you don't know who she is, then you're not reading "113 for Emmah"... for shame!
