Has anyone heard from Fairychat? I’d like her opinion on the shark repellent. ---

Howdy Y’all! I’ve been somewhat productive today. Da cave is now all the way spiffed up. I also did two loads of laundry and _gasp_ took clothes out of the laundry room and hung them in the closets where they actually belong! Imagine that! 😃 I went to the burly butcher sto’ and got the \ butts! \ and \ boobs! \ along with some smoked chikin for tonight’s dindin which shall consist of said chikin, wild rice, **flytrap’s** favorite succotash, and rolls. Seems like quite enough to accomplish for one day. ---

Plus I hate getting the bits stuck in my teeth. I’m wondering if I can poke at Trumpie hard enough in Twitter to get added to the Honor Roll. Hmmm.

Y’all behave while I’m gone We’re already not using coasters, what more trouble could we find? 😃 So you got some T&A at the burly butcher’s, **swampy**? 😛 **rockin’** , try some aloe gel. I get mine at Walgreen’s (store brand) and it comes in plain or menthol. The menthol rocks for a sunburn. Still working on the punkin’ (and the bourbon). It’s going to be much better than my sober attempt last year. ---

Swampy, I don’t like corn on the cob either. It’s hard to eat and I hate the way it gets stuck between my teeth. ---

**Swampy** , if it makes you feel any better? I’m so southern that I’m related to myself, and I don’t like N.O.T. salad, or deviled eggs. Yes, I own half a dozen deviled egg trays, because that’s in the rule book if you’re a southern lady over the age of 25. But I won’t eat the damned things! (I do like corn on the cob, but I have a terrible underbite, so I’m too self-conscious to eat COTC in public.) Slept the day away. Left Littlest Miss and The Mister to their own devices. Didn’t really intend to do so, but I feel better now than I have in a month. I’ve always been a person who needs a lot of sleep to recuperate from illness. So maybe now I can tackle all of the crap I need to do around here! ---

**Peaches** may I have your deviled eggs? I am quite fond of them and no one makes them around here. ---

Yes, I own half a dozen deviled egg trays, because that’s in the rule book if you’re a southern lady over the age of 25. Mrs. Plant (v.2.0), a Yankee, (let that be Our Little Secret-I often had to explain, “She’s Not From Around Here”, but I digress) was told by her friends that if she did not own a deviled egg tray, we would be considered to be Living In Sin. ---

Up, sheveled, off to PT, then irk.

Both my father’s mother, who was a lady, and at least two of her cousins (who were ladies as well), and my father’s paternal aunt (very much a lady, so long as you don’t expect ladies to be intelligent as well as genteel) all owned deviled eggs trays. Does that mean I’m descended from a bunch of southern ladies and nobody had told me?
