Great one! And Eddie let you get away with the f word?
When I was teaching, with every first year's snow, the kids would get so excited they'd pee their pants. Of course, I did too, hoping for a possible snow day. Eventually, with new rules, we had to make them up.
So sorry for your loss.
I like your reply to Jeri. Mencken is one of my "heroes", too. I read a biography on him last year. The king of curmudgeons (and I do know the meaning of that word)!!
I had a few ice pellets hit me while I was gathering wood, but nothing like what you got. An amazing storm. It's always fun to see a photo of somewhere you've been!
Even if it's only occasionally, it's nice to hear from you. Good post.
The very thought of my bones cracking prevent me from going to a chiropractor--or, as they call it around here, choirpracter. In any case, I'm glad it's working for you.
For the life of me, I'll never figure out the rationale of Republican thought. I don't care what the subject!
Putative! Again, thank you for a new word. And thanks for indirectly supporting my feelings against cell phones (and all phones). The ONLY reason I can think of for a need is if I am bleeding to death from a chain saw accident (or perhaps stranded on an island).
As a rule, not every house/home is perfect--at least not for all those concerned. Little wonder the average moving time is only 5 years!
I guess Craigslist served more than one purpose! A sofa-bed and a friend! My kids have found many items there.
With bad food plus an earthquake, I think I'll avoid your neck of the woods. I was thinking about visiting my nephew in Blaine, Washington. Hmmm.
Whew! I'm just on the western edge! Windy, however. No golf.
The boiling water thing--don't you just hate when that happens? I've been known to microwave a potato for five minutes, but forgot to put the potato in!
I learned a new word--farrago! Thanks. As for the Republicans taking over the White House, I try not to think about it. It gives me the willies. But, both sides say the same thing.
