tranquility

My Mother would get me by the arm and I would run in circles getting switched. Then she would put that red Murcurechrome on each stripe so I really stood out in shorts or a dress. It was like an added punishment because everyone knew you got a hickory switchin'. It didn't take long to fear the skinny switches they hurt the worse.

At the back of my Grandmothers backyard were woods and a huge hill that went up to the next street over. We would climb that hill and swing out over the cliff on the thick vines hanging from the trees. Never fell once. (thank goodness) We would sit down and jump (drop) off the roof of the garage onto the concrete driveway. We played in and around ivy covered natural springs on the side of her property. There were a couple caves we would go explore and then we would usually go back home and play "Speed Racer" running around like nuts pretending to be racing or go lay on the ground on opposi

I'm with you on the clackers. They were a serious source of pain that you just had to try one more time, I was quite the hardhead back then. We grew up on fresh air and imaginations.

Ouch.

We definately throw it away. Every time I looked at it hoping there would be something worth reading it was news we had already read in another paper or heard about on p.com.

I searched where to buy Dream Whip and it says Walmart. Not sure if that's correct but it may be worth a try.

- When I was a kid I loved the clacker things but can not believe I never broke a bone. Those things hurt ! - Then my Dad taught me to crack a whip (I can still do this one) That was fun but I did get smacked in the face a few times in the beginning. - I sucked on a Barbie doll shoe, sticking it to my tongue, and it stuck in my throat. I turned purple and my sister had to reach down my throat and get it out. - Can't count the scratches and gashes from falling out of trees, jumping off curbs on my bike and skateboard. I was a tomboy and lived through it. I really hate that the majo

You can have one of my Mayberries.

I know right ? I'm not that old (yet) but I would be crawling over the side and then I would need one of the "I've fallen and can't get up" things. Those do sound like a good idea.

These "walk in" tubs, for example. Ok, they sound like a good idea for older people afraid of falling when they step over into a tub or fall in the shower but........ Here's the problem I see. Older people tend to be more frail and they tend to get cold faster, so how is it a good idea to make them sit in the deep tub waiting for the water to drain out enough to open the door ? They will freeze !

It goes in the junk mail can. I haven't seen a story in there that we didn't know about already.

I bought a book of 20 a couple weeks ago. I can't keep up so I'm safer with the Forever stamps.

? I don't get this one.

Fruit doesn't damage cars, people damage cars. It's the danged people, if we would get rid of some of these people we wouldn't have so many issues. Next time I go to the store I'm stocking up on ammo. Grapefruit, lemons and limes ought to do it. That will blind them long enough to throw nuts in the shell at em'.

Careful, you might just end up with a lap goat.

Cool story.

That's sweet,they are buddies.

Sounds like he loves his family. That's sweet not broke. A little misguided maybe but not broke. Our dogs always thought they were people, maybe goats don't know they are goats. It may not know how a goat is supposed to act so it copies the dogs.

Off Hiram Sudie Road. I'll pm my phone #. Calling you. I'll give you extras you can hide so no one will know if you misplace another one.

This escutcheon is for a heart mounted gas line. I couldn't find a picture of the wall mount ones. The wall mount escutcheon has more of a dome shaped top where the hearth mount is flat to lay tight to the hearth. The key fits in the square area and attaches to the gas valve to turn on for a gas fireplace or in a woodburning fireplace if you have a gas starter. Sorry it took so long, we ran out for dinner.

I'm cleaning out the basement and found some I had for car stock when I worked in the building industry. Company went under and they didn't want them back to add to the kazillion they already had left. I have 3" keys in chrome and in polished brass and 2- 8" chrome keys. I have floor mount and wall mount escutcheons in both colors also. I looked them up to see if they added different colors and saw that they are about $19 - $20.00 a piece. That's just crazy !! If you need one you are welcome to have it and save yourself a little money. I don't need them.

Green Olives - They have them in the can without the heavy salt. They are delicious, I can eat a whole can in one sitting. The brand is Lindsay (if I spelled it right)and they are with the black olives in the can. I have bought them at Ingles and once before at Walmart. They look fresh picked but they are pitted.

Anytime I cook chicken I have to use Clorax cleanup on the counters, sink and anywhere else a possible drop of chicken juice (gross) may have splattered while I wash washing it off. Turkey - I can only touch a whole one around the holidays and it's only because my husband loves to smoke them. They stink and you have to reach inside to pull out the gross stuff. I hold that sucker every angle possible to wash out the inside. You should see that clean up (bleach) process. It makes me gag and I have a really hard time even eating it once when it's done.

Ewww. I can't eat those either. Or Deviled ham.
