Whacky's Corner

Ahhh...I love a nice green lawn. The problem is there are always one or two patches that are not really green. They are, well brown or yellow, in some cases dirt colored. The brown/yellow patches can be explained by the fact that there is sometimes a little dog in the yard. Yeah, and when Bo catches it the problem will be solved--Yeah right. (He IS the little dog) Until then I have found a product to spray on those patches that will turn them green. No it's not special fertilizer, it's an... Sign in to see full entry.

Does anyone remember the "Veg-O-Matic? You know, It slices! It dices! It chops! It mops! It even does the dishes! (Well, not really) I have five of them. One is brand new the other four are completely or partly broken. Now you might think that sounds a bit strange. You might be right. I know the story of the "Veg-O-Matics" So I know it's not so strange. You see my dad bought the first Veg-O-Matic to make his own hash brown potatoes. He would have me wash the potatoes, Mom peeled them, then he... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah, that is what Bo is doing, watching a bird. This one likes to swoop through the yard and tease Bo. Then it perches on a tree limb or the fence, leaving Bo barking and gazing up at it. I'm not sure but I think I could hear the bird laughing at Bo. Thanks for stopping by. Bo thinks he is gonna catch that bird some day. What do you think? A rose and a smile from me! =^..^= Bo too!

There is a step stool sitting in my front hallway right by my front door. What does that have to do with looking tor a teapot? Well, I was using the step stool to look in the high cabinets that are all around the kitchen. Then when I finally did find a teapot I just left the stool in the hallway by the front door. I really should move it. I don't know how it happened but the stool has piles of mail and several weeks worth of newspapers on it. How? It's only been there since last night. You see...

I was sitting on my front porch step waiting while the water filled the planter where I have some of my roses. It was going to be a while because I was letting the water soak the roses real good. I was also looking around for a good excuse not to sweep the front porch. - Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move. It was a butterfly flitting from flower to flower. As I watched it I also saw a couple of bees going from flower to flower too! I never got a good look at the bees. They never... Sign in to see full entry.

My mom always told me, "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." --Translation-- "Don't lie cause I can always tell!" (She could too!) Since then I have also discovered that if you weave a web of lies you can't keep track of them, then you will trip over your own lies and no one will ever believe you again, at least for a while. But what about spiders? They can weave huge webs, webs that are really works of art. Not only that but I think spiders can keep track of every... Sign in to see full entry.

I got this in an e-mail and thought it was too good not to share. ____________________ A Bottle of Wine A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one.Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers. The woman says, "So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing... Sign in to see full entry.

OK, I think I stole a tennis ball. There it was right outside the tennis court at the park. Bo saw it first and grabbed it! There was no one else in the park. The wind was blowing and it was starting to rain. I let Bo keep the ball until we got back to the car. He finally dropped it as he jumped into the back seat of the- OK - 'his' car, and I opened the trunk to get the towels I keep in case we get caught in the rain or if I get a free car wash and need to dry the car off. I dried Bo and myself... Sign in to see full entry.

That means fake wood. Martha Stewart calls it faux bois or bauhawh! She likes everything in faux bois. Fake wood tiles, candles, rugs, plates, place mats. She even likes fake wood floors. So I guess she even likes her real wood to be fake. Isn't that just odd? It make me wonder if she puts plastic fake wood logs in her fireplace. No she couldn't be that crazy. She probably has fake wood flames in her fireplace. She pokes it with her faux bois poker and removes the faux bois ashes with a faux... Sign in to see full entry.

I was walking through the grocery store the other day. I knew what I wanted and about where it was in the store. So I cut through the frozen food section on my way to the toothpaste isle. I just happened to look up at a shelf as I passed, I saw a box marked "Chicken Fat" "Sheesh!" I thought to myself. "Even chickens are having liposuction!" As I thought that, I laughed out loud. This caused a nearby stock boy to look at me like I was a little bit--um insane. I thought about explaining why I was... Sign in to see full entry.
