Whacky's Corner

What was that? Gurgle. Was it me? Humm... I am just a little hungry. Gurgle! Glub! Blurp! Bo was that you? No wait he is outside. Glub! Glub! It's coming from the kitchen. I'll look.... Well, I know it's not the refrigerator. It hums and thumps but it doesn't gurgle. Is it coming from the sink? No. That's good. I hate clogged drains. Gurgle gurgle glub! There it is again! Gurgle gurgle! Ah! now I see. It's the dishwasher! That's odd. The dishwasher has indigestion. Wonder what gave it... Sign in to see full entry.

"O" That's what Oprah's magazine is called. I ran into a copy at my dentist's office. I started to pick it up to read. Whoa! That is one big magazine! I bet it weighs eight pounds! You really get your money's worth when you buy that magazine! On second thought if it's like every other magazine, more than half ads, then it's Oprah who is getting her money's worth. I'll have to look through it to see. Boy, it is heavy sitting on my lap. Though I do have to admit it is lighter than my doggie, Bo.... Sign in to see full entry.

I have had people tell me that I should get a life. I guess I really should, but it seems like I'm always too busy! I start one project and that leads to another and another and, well it just goes on and never seems to end. I guess after I finish pruning my roses, I can take some time out to get a life. No wait, first I have to spray the roses for fungus. It's only on one of them, but if I let it go it could spread and kill them all! I don't want that! Heck my grandpa planted some of them 40...

Seems like every time I write with a pen I end up with ink on my fingers! Sometimes I even find little drops on my hands and arms. Do I just unconsciously put the pen on my arm and hand where the ink can get on me or does the pen leak? I don't know. Now I thought I had solved this little problem by buying one of those expensive 'gel' pens that the astronauts use. It did the same thing as my el-cheapo pens. I have to wonder if astronauts get ink all over their space suits. Now that would be a... Sign in to see full entry.

I have dibs on that! What? That great parking spot! Yeah! A really good parking spot at the mall is a prize! Sometimes the space I get is so far away it's closer to walk from home. Too bad you can't put dibs or reserve a parking space before you leave home. I'd go to the mall a lot more if I could. Yesterday I bought a container of 'dibs.' These didn't reserve anything for me though. They are bite size ice cream snaks. When I first saw them advertised on TV I thought "Those are going to be... Sign in to see full entry.

Ahhhhhh! Wisteria vines! In Bloom! Beautiful isn't it? Whew! Spring is finally here! > I brought you a smile and a rose! <>=^..^=Bo says: Woof! Sign in to see full entry.

That sounds funny and even looks funny when you try to write it. I had to laugh. There ia a commercial for GEICO where "Little Richard" translates an ordinary insurance accident into--well I'm not quite sure what. I was trying to skip through the commercial. I turned it on just as "Little Richard" did that 'Whooo!' sound. It just so happened that Bo, my dog, was walking right in front of the TV when the 'Whooo!' went off. Bo sat down and gave the TV such a funny look, I had to laugh! Then Bo... Sign in to see full entry.

At least once a week, sometimes more I make a pilgrimage to the grocery store. It's not really far. I could walk if I had to. I'm not sure I could carry home a weeks worth of groceries, especially in those flimsy plastic sacks. The paper ones aren't any better. Those paper handles just rip right off! Oh, but this isn't about paper or plastic...(that's for another time and post) It's about the rocky landscaping on the side opposite from the grocery store. Seems like every time I drive up there I... Sign in to see full entry.

I was in the kitchen and the house was quiet, no TV or radio on. Suddenly, Knock Knock! "Come in the door is open!" Wait that knock knock came from inside the refrigerator! Yikes! The food has come to life and wants out! Guess that carton of chow mein from 1980 wants out! Wait. I threw that away last year, or did I eat it? Well, it would have caused hallucinations way before this, or I would remember being sick. So it's not the chow mein. You might think it was the ice maker dumping ice. Nope...

Oh No! I was bleeding like a stuck pig. I rushed into the house holding my finger up as it spurted and squirted blood everywhere. I got to the kitchen sink and put the finger under running water. It continued to bleed, but I could tell that I had only nicked it a little. Whew! That was a relief! I wouldn't have to go back out and hunt for part of my finger! I had been trimming one of my evergreen bushes and instead of climbing down and moving the ladder I reached as far as I could to get the... Sign in to see full entry.
