The internet (Facebook, Twitter, even the SDMB) doesn’t seem to be getting much action today. Maybe everyone else is away on vacation somewhere, or outside playing, or who knows what. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > they lied! they said the humid would be gone by this evening! they lied! They told a lie! They ought to be ashamed! My sister and I used to watch a cartoon where one character said to another, “You told a lie! You ought to be ashamed!” So we sometimes use this saying when we discover someone lying about something. ---

Laundry done. Pizza (and gyro) eaten. Sah-dog stopped being mad at me for cleaning his ear. I think the little lamb from the gyro helped him ot get over it. I gave him some baby aspirin too, his ear seems a little sore. So it’s irk time. And… I saw another mouse, this one ran across the living room floor. At least it had the decency to run, usually they stroll around like they own the place. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from another night of VBS. Tonight we dished up pizza, sallit and ‘nanner puddin’. Tomorrow is burgers, dawgs and brownies. YUM! There shall, of course, be sides but I say if’n you have burgers, dawgs and brownies what else could you want! 😃 I sipped upon a very nice Chardonay durin’ adult time tonight. Very pleasin’ it was. We are under a tstorm watch/apocalypse the rest of the night. If y’all don’t hear from me ever again this is why. Ok, and on that note I shall surf a bit and then go beddy bye cause I’m beginnin’ to feel sleepified. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

**dogbutler,** that’s my dad’s shirt. He has many Hawaiian shirts. I’m working on inputting a piece of music I wrote, into the computer. (Did I use all the words correctly in that sentence?) Maybe I’ll submit it for publication. ---
