I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

So you fill in the blanks, Lost Creek - is that how it works?

"I don't want to know how to take out the trash - that's a MAN'S job (ducking for cover )."

'Morning everyone. Horribly humid in this swamp, though less hot, so I can breathe. I have to do some work today, surprise surprise! 

That's it Athena. Just fill in whatever, then use Society membership as your reason not to whatever.

So far I haven't had to learn to work on the car, take out the compost, or scrub the man's toilet... among other things.

You don't want to know about our weather (it's a well-kept secret)  You're the one who likes G. Shepherds?

ETA: Rosemary, that's another whole  sub-section.  My DH is like that, only he keeps things running with bubble gum and baling wire, then expects me to know all the quirks.  So, I don't.

German Shepherds are one of the loves of my life.  Two wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge, and one 3 1/2 yr old at home - we have 2.5 fenced acres. He is "Gus", and is 135# of smart, and funny. There's a breeder/trainer nearby, who goes to Europe for his dogs, mostly working dogs.  truehaus kennels has a website for fun pix.  One of these days I'll bite the bullet and learn to post pix (see what I mean about selective incompetency?).

Morning folks. Today will be a pool day followed by going to see DD's band at the local beach bar. Should be fun.

I don't want to know how to cook.  That's why God made restaurants.

My sisters and mom and I kidnapped another sister for her birthday.  We told her we were going to watch the Ravens practice but instead ended up in NYC.  We saw "Hair" on Broadway then went to dinner.  Great fun, though exhausting!

Horrible news about our Navy SEALs.  We need to stop being the self-appointed World Policemen and get the heck out of there.

It was a day trip only, lewing.  Hence the exhaustion!

Did y'all know that "Hair" has full frontal nudity in it?  I mean.....jeez.  I thought my 85 yr old mom would be horrified, but she wanted to get up on stage and dance with them.  If she'd been sitting on the aisle, she would have!

TMI!!!  Hahahaha!  Moms are so funny.

Barb - I got the grape seed extract capsules and I've been taking them.  They must be doing something since my hot flashes have doubled.  :-D

We're off to the lake in a little bit.  It's hot and humid, but lots of clouds to cool things a bit.

I never want to be competent on the weedwacker.  I don't even want to know how to turn it on.  It's big, heavy and gas powered, and if I ever learned to work it, I would have even more chores outside!  I can cook, but would rather not ... so I plead ignorance!

Enjoyful, sounds like a fun packed day.  I can't remember the name of the show I saw, but it had full frontal nudity too.  What a hoot, a bunch of guys dancing at the end!  It was about a bunch of working class men in England who were trying to find job.  Can anyone remember the name of the show?

Ewww .. I don't want to hear about my mom's sex life.  I guess she was in her mid 50's when divorced from my dad.  She later met a sheriff and started dating him.  I'll never forget the time she told me he was very "virile."  ughh. 

Hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday,

Bren

I don't want to know how to start a push lawnmower. The John Deere is fine, though.

Thanks Cindy ... I don't know why the name escaped me .. it's so obvious!  The show was great, but at the end they had heavy duty backlights so you couldn't see any weiners. 

We had a nice time at the lake, also visited the local dam and an area called the Reserve, which is all log cabins for sale.  Some really cute cabins like the one I owned in Utah .. but just not enough property to go with them.  I guess they were on about 1/16 of an acre lots in the woods.  Nice place, just not my cup of tea stuck in the middle of the woods.  I need more space than that!

We're having burgers for dinner and a salad.  Good thing, too, I'm starting to get hungry.

hugs to everyone,

Bren

I don't think so Rosemary ... I'm pretty sure I was immaculate conception versus the standard method!  ha!

I can't even think about parent sex, even three times for my folks.  eww.

Bren

Knowing my mother, I'm sure it was only twice.

O.M.G. Sue how much luggage are you taking with you?  I don't have an ironing board, so I can't help you with the ironing.  When I was little I ironed for the neighbors to make some extra money.  Five cents per pillow case!

Thanks funny that your DH waited until the last minute to do his shopping!

hugs,

Bren

I usually only iron something when I need it, although I do DH's work shirts. I only iron when we are going away as it fits in better. How much am I taking? I don't know - 6 weeks is a long time - help!!

DH decided to go and buy a book to take on the plane yesterday - came home with 2 books - one for me which I already own. Plus he went to an expensive book shop when our BigW (Walmart type store) is so much cheaper. Now I'll have to try and get a refund on one of them - he is SO naive. I didn't stop him going as I thought he wanted something non fiction. If I'd known he'd end up with fiction, I would have stopped him going there. Lucky I don't let him do the shopping - we'd be broke

Susieq - can I still call you that? I admire your discipline with ironing - never my strong suit.

As for our esteemed OP, (((blue))) you are still blue to me, with all the positives the name conveys.

E - what a wonderful outing.

My mother is a virgin. Maybe she participated in some sort of immaculate conception three times (three girls) but that's it - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Once, when we were all in our thirties, my mother apparently though we were old enough to hear her say that she and my father had a good sex life. One of my sisters and I turned on her and said, "That is TMI!!!" She was so offended. Funny how mothers come out of the closet as non virgins so late in life, isn't it?
