November

Someone once gave me a bonsai tree for a birthday gift. At home, I put the prized tree on the window sill. Within 2 minutes, a swarm of black ants were trailing to/from the tree into the electric socket! What the - - - !!! I didn't have the heart to return the tree to the gifter, so I asked around. People told me about a "Chinese Chalk" found in (where else?) Chinatown. They said draw a line around the bonsai. Lo and behold! No more ants! This was like a miracle chalk! Ever since then, when others have encountered ants, they have used the chalk and it is truly effective! Since the box has only Chinese characters on it, it's difficult to determine what the 'toxin'is - but hey, no more ants!

Every night on sports news, it's all about Manny these days. "The dreadlocks. The dew-rags. The baggy uniforms. The cocky smile. The laid-back, “let’s do a doobie” persona. All gone to the left coast now." - I guess this description of him fits the CA lifestyle now, eh?

Poor Bunj... but glad he's back w/a sparkle. Nice he's got a papa like you.

I must say that for all the work & resources (water), you might've considered xeriscaping w/indigenous, drought-tolerant plants. My friend, a landscape architect, says that if you want a simple, beautiful way to go w/o any maintenance and little to no requirement of water, there's a whole world of resources in this direction. Maybe something to consider if the sod doesn't 'take'.

It's an anomaly, ingenious, and somewhat gross.

“Five wives… boy. I give you a lot of credit. I don’t think I’d have the energy.” Guess that's why it's called, "BIG love".

this post was funny as hell. haven't laughed out loud for a l-o-n-g time. thx!

"like I'm going to Wal-Mart"...

Hey - you're simply AWESOME! Congratulations on your winnings! Mmm, what's in that Hungarian Chili Sauce?

Very interesting.

participated in 'swinger' activities w/another couple?

Hm. Grumps is in pretty good shape for a nude rock climber, wouldn't ya say?

Um. Hubs (as I blog) is taking a nap nekid on the couch. But he does that all the time. I keep wondering when our neighbor will one day knock on our door and he'll be sprinting to the bedroom to put on some shorts! Are you like that too?

#4 - I'd go w/you, but no thanks to freezing on a tatami mat nor eating cold brown rice. Heck, you can do that in Tiffin!
