Whacky's Corner

for my picture! That's what I imagined that this butterfly was saying when it landed at my feet this morning while I was watering the grass. So I ran into the house and got the camera just in time to snap a picture before he/she fluttered off to brighten someone else's day. Thanks for dropping in! Hope this picture brightens your day! Why else would a butterfly drop by? Sign in to see full entry.

For the first time in well over a year I had myself a nice fresh powdered sugar raspberry filled donut. I hadn't had one since the local Krispy Kreme shop closed last year. I have to admit I didn't buy the donut, I got a bunch of the leftovers the night before when I was helping out at the local PBS pledge drive. They were going to get another two dozen the next morning so they told us lowly volunteers to take the leftovers. No one was more surprised than me to find the 1/2 dozen fresh raspberry...

I have here a paper plate with several blobs of peanut butter on it. Now I wonder where that came from? Could it be that I just finished lunch? Well, sort of. I seem to find myself sitting here at my desk about the same time each day. I find I usually have my lunch on a paper plate with me. Along with a glass of ice tea. The plate with the peanut butter on it is from yesterday. Today I have a plate with half a turkey sandwich and some potato salad on it. So I just put the new plate with the...

...Please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and dial your operator." How many times have you heard that? I used to wonder if that lady didn't get tired repeating herself like that every time I picked up the phone before I was sure of the number I was going to dial. After all I didn't want to dial a number only to hear the same woman tell me that the # I dialed was not in service. I should check the number and try again, or hang up and dial my operator. You know that woman is kind... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah, I like carrot sticks and I like green beans. The problem is: Bo doesn't. Oh he'll eat them if I'm eating them and I give him some. But if I tried giving him a carrot stick instead of his milk bone I would be left holding the carrot stick. I know this because I tried it. I was eating carrot sticks, Bo was begging for one. I offered one to him. He sniffed it, bit into it a little, then trotted off with it. At first I really thought he had eaten it. That is until I was walking through the... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you think I will get a stern warning for posting that shocking picture on my Movie blog? I didn't think about it until after I posted it. Guess I'll just wait and see. If you have a minute pop over there and let me know what you think. Thanks for dropping in and have a great day or night as the case may be. =^..^= Bo says Wuff. Also he thinks the picture looks better upside down. Well, he watches TV that way, I may have to try it sometime. Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes people say one thing but really mean something else, usually the exact opposite? Like when someone repeatly tells you they are not going to lie to you. That means the next thing out of their mouth is going to be a whopper! Not the kind you might get from "Burger King." but a big old lie that you really want to believe. Then there is the person who tells you "You know it takes a lot to make me angry. I just don't have a temper." This in spite of the fact that... Sign in to see full entry.

You guessed it, I'm the dummy. I am gonna buy a computer. But I am scared and confused. What kind should I get? Will it get a virus? Will it give it to me? Or worse yet sweet little Bo. I'm just joking about the virus, I hope. But I would really like your advice. What kind of computer do you have? Do you like it? Was it expensive? Would you get a different kind? Was it easy to set up? (I'd like easy.) Please leave your thoughts, ideas, advice. I've seen the TV ads. Now I want to know what people... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, yeah. Bo's, my little doggie's, smile sounds like panting. That's because he will sit looking up at me and panting. He looks like he is smiling, and I believe he's smiling. So when I hear, "Pant, pant pant huff huff pant," I can bet he is smiling. I hear it now. There he is! Yeah, he is smiling! That's proof that you can hear a smile. But can you hear a person smile? Well, they don't pant, and huff, but you can hear them smile if you listen. If they tell you, "Hey, I'm smiling!" Then you... Sign in to see full entry.

I just sliced it right open. I didn't even need a knife. I was just reaching for some aluminum foil, to wrap up a slice of piazza for later. I have the aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper all in the same drawer. Darn, the drawer wouldn't open. One of the packages had wedged itself up just enough to keep the drawer from opening more that a few inches. So I stuck my fingers into the drawer to try and push the package down enough to get the drawer to open. When I pushed down is when I... Sign in to see full entry.
