Whacky's Corner

Around here you know it's gonna be silly. I have to wonder why they call a satellite radio station/contraption/whatever, 'sirius' and pronounce it serious. As far as I can tell there is nothing serious about it, except that they are making people pay for radio waves bounced off of a satellite that--well, we the taxpayers, paid to shoot into orbit. To me that seems like they have finally figured out a way to get people to pay for air. I knew they would find a way sooner or later. I'm only really... Sign in to see full entry.

 I was checking out at Wal-Mart the other day and while I was waiting I noticed the little guy helping the checker--Well, I think he is actually the greeter--You see I was checking out through the garden center. I like to park out there and use that entrance/exit when I am in a hurry. Unfortunately since everyone seems to use my brain when I think of these things there was a fairly long line at the checkout. Anyway, the greeter was more interested in playing with his new I-phone then he was in... Sign in to see full entry.

And boy am I tuckered out! Exhausted, pooped, really tired. I started this little project about three years ago, maybe four. Well, anyway the shoplite in my garage has been flickering on and off for quite some time now. Today the last one flickered for the last time went off and wouldn't come back no matter how many times I flicked the switch. Now a few years ago I got up on a ladder and took one of the dead bulbs out. Then I wrote down the length and size so I could buy a new one the next time... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, it all started when I decided to soak my feet in Epsom salts. Turns out I should have just soaked my head and called it a day. Maybe not. Anyway I got a basin of hot water with two tablespoons of Epson salts in...OK I didn't measure. I eyeballed it. Well, the Epson salts were a tad old and kind of clumped up. So I put in two clumps. Two clumps = two tablespoons more or less. I put the basin of water at the foot of my chair and proceeded to take off my socks. Humm...that may be why my feet... Sign in to see full entry.

Believe it or not that is the name of a TV show on Public TV. If you didn't know anything about "This Old House" you might think that it is a show about a talking house. As a matter of fact a show about a talking house might not be a bad idea. If this old house could talk...ahh what stories it could tell. Then again if it could talk we might just want it to shut up! After all we really would rather hear good stories and not all stories are good. Most stories are long, boring, or pointless. Of... Sign in to see full entry.

Ummm No, Bo is a little bit. I had some blue paint on my hands. Bo came trotting up to me with his tennis ball. I knew I had to take it from him and throw it before he dropped in into the can of paint. You see I knew if I tried to ignore Bo he wold keep pestering me. Poking me on the leg with the ball. Well, with his nose which pretty much had the ball attached. The ball was actually in his mouth which, as you know is right under his nose. So I reached down, grabbed the ball and threw it. The I...

Have you ever tried walking up an escalator that was going down? Or down an escalator that is going up. If so you know it is a good way to get nowhere fast. Well, you can get up or down but it takes a lot of effort. I have always wondered about the expression, "Up the Down Staircase." To me a stair case is made to go both ways. If you are at the bottom you use it to go up. But if you are at the top then you have to go down. Either way it still works. Now, I guess they could be referring to... Sign in to see full entry.

That's what they had advertised in the newspaper. They were on sale at the grocery store for a dollar apiece. Made me wonder what a wedge is and do they have lettuce and tomatoes on the sandwich as well as a piece of wedge...? It wasn't until I saw the sandwiches in the store that I realized they were called wedge sandwiches because of the way they were packaged. They were just regular sandwiches packaged like the ones you use to see in vending machines at the bus stop. I can only hope that the... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever seen a dancing tree? Well, except maybe for the ones in the Christmas pageant? (OK I'll admit it. I was supposed to be a dancing tree in the show. But I didn't dance. I kept tripping and falling down. So I was the tree that just stood there.) --- ----Now wait a minute! The dancing tree I was thinking of when I first wrote those words "Dancing Trees" is one well several trees I saw while driving down to the post office to mail some bills. Bill payments, actually.

What is this? Can you tell? I am not sure. Tell me what you think. Thanks! A rose and a smile from me! =^..^= Bo too! A rose and a smile from me! =^..^= Bo too! Sign in to see full entry.
