Home!!! I got a nice brisket at WalMart, and tomorrow, smokeage shall ensue! There’s a 40% chance of rain, and if it does, I’ll park the smoker just inside the garage and aim a fan at it to keep the smoke outside.
First thing in the morning, tho, I hope to get the ditch mowed - before excess heat and potential rain. We’ll see how it goes.
Meanwhile, waiting for my sweetie to get home…
Dindin has been ingested. I didn’t attempt the cubed steak but the veggies, rice ‘n gravy and a bizkit went down good. I appear to have re-assumed normal eatin’ patterns. As long as I don’t get confused as to where my shirt is when I go to take it off this evenin’ all is good. 
BigKitty yay for good job interview!
Sari somehow I cannot imagine a 19/20 year old male agreein’ to share pizza with anybody.
**FCD **wasn’t terribly late, and we just finished a supper of steak, instant smashed N.O.T.s, and Amish 'maters. The dishwasher is doing a rinse load and I’m about to assume the recline position. Not sure if I’m going to sleep with Mel or not. But I’s tahred!
MOOOOOOM I say sleep with Mel. Who knows, you might even loll about the bed until seven a.m.! I think I shall sleep with Ty as I am still a little achy. OYKW’s sinuses are buggin’ him so it may be a four way with Ty, Ben, and us.
So what about the above dog to help you find stuff, and remind you to take your pills? That is a very nice looking collar!
Maybe if someone throws in the bat costume. That’s pretty funny!
Moooom, skritches to Buttons and may his time left be joyful.
sunny, here in middle Tennessee, the local meat and three cafes classify macaroni and cheese and cottage cheese among other things as vegetables.
I mailed birthday cards to two of my nieces today. They were born on the same day 21 years apart. Tonight was breakfast for supper. I cleaned up the vegetation in an omelet and salad and made Japanese sweet potato hash browns that were almost sweet enough for dessert. We’ve been getting Cindy’s leftovers all day (and I’ve been picking on my sister of that name the same way she did me a couple of years ago during a hurricane with my name 
). It’s chill time.
To paraphrase: You’ll know them when you see them.
BTW, $12.00/hr? Even the school bus drivers around here get $16.00/hr. (I think there’s hazard pay in there, however.) Your director is a piker.
Before I forget, {{{Taters}}}!!!
The kids have invited me for a cook-out tonight. I suspect they think I’m lonely without Wifey here. They don’t take into account the two small dogs constantly needing my attention. Nevertheless, I’m happy for the invite. We will be having gourmet sausages (whatever they mean by that), corn and watermelon, I’m told. It’ll be good.
Tomorrow I will cook a pork loin using one of Alton Brown’s recipes. I’ve had pork every night this week. Wifey doesn’t like to eat a lot of pork so while she’s been gone I’ve been pigging out! Hee! I kill me!
Our Yorkie is supposed to be 1/4 Chinese crested. Fortunately, he doesn’t show it at all. He looks more like he’s 1/4 pig.
I feel sorry for that poor little doggie. She was most likely thrown away by her family, and she’s ugly. 
I don’t like people right now. The neighbors didn’t feel like talking to 'Beamer when he went over to see his friend, so they didn’t answer the door. He could hear them in the house. He called them too, and they didn’t answer the phone. I stopped his further efforts at that point. He doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t at least tell him they were busy or whatever.
Cool!
Swampy could have a flashlight with the Batman signal on it to summon the dog for help.
I’ve still had no luck in finding a dachshund. Not in the paper, by word of mouth, or at the shelter. There IS an adorable puppy at Petland, but that’s more than a tough expensive for my bank account.
I even have a name ready, if it’s a male dog I can find. A certain author I enjoy often has dachshunds figure, however briefly, in his works, and the latest book had a dog named Mauser.
If only there was a dog to go with the name.
Broomstick [Mauser.](potrei disturbanrti per il sale)
How much will you give me for Penny? :dubious:
That link doesn’t work for me.
And you surely aren’t serious about selling your dog.
Bumba, that means you need to eat the snausages wif your pinky extended.
Just got home, later than I wanted to - a beer held me down & forced it’s way down my throat. Hell hath frozen over because the girl who swore she’d never talk to me again approached me for a [del]Sybil[/del] civil conversation. (Butters, will your hubby go to Hell & fix their heater for me?)
I wanted to get home earlier & dial in to the call about the charity event where you raise some astronomical amount & then go & climb Mt. Kilimanjaro; I wonder how much one has to raise for them to foot that bill??? My guess is into 5-figures. :eek:
Knee is not good enough to head out to the Curve this weekend :mad:, which means no Spider-Duck either. Instead I’ll spend all weekend at the festival being a true knight in shining armor (Tugig’s seen me that way before.) However; tomorrow eve looks to get weathered out. Gotta go & make sure everything is/start charging all of the various electronic devices going w/ me.
I found some near me. These are 2 of a litter of 5.

This one is at a rescue in Portland. I am meeting them on Saturday about a dog for my son. If you want, I can meet her too…
This guy is with Oregon Dachshund Rescue. I would guess they have others.
PM if you are interested in any of these guys/gals and we’ll talk. I know a pet transport person and we’ll work something out. I can share more details offline.
Also, to do a search of your own, nationwide if you like, go to: www.petfinder.com. You can pick your breed and set search parameters (25 miles up to the whole country).
We’ll find your buddy!
So my computer kept rebooting, and it erased all cookies. Then at work I"m checking out one of my regulars, and when I pick up her money off the counter, she starts screaming “NO! NO! NO!” and then looks at me funny when I jump back. I have to reboot the registers, so I get out 20min late. And get stuck in construction traffic. Thank God for beer.
Anything is inappropriate with the mindset. “Kinky is using a feather, perverted is using the whole chicken.”:D;)
I’ll have to pick up some Parrot Bay on Saturday.
I would.
Good luck on the interview, BigKitty! And the new title.
Howdy all and this is a serious question. Do girl dogs squat and pee all at one time unlike my boy dog that must pee on multiple things
and even lift his leg when he has no more peepee? Because if so my next dog with be female. Normally it’s not a problem but with my
sore knee ain’t nobody got time for all that. Poor Louie.
Just got home from work; volunteered to stay somewhat late. Prime Day is coming and the river frows deeper than usual.
Butters usually, yes, female dogs will mark fewer places. It can vary dog to dog though. If you don’t have time for it, don’t wait. I just brace the leash across my hips and keep walking. If they can mark before the leash catches them, good for them. If not, too bad. You can also ask him to heel and really not let him have any fun. He’s your little buddy, but you don’t need to wait for him to mark every blade of grass. You’re the boss.
Ruble - are they better behaved now or is it still looking like a good place to quit? (I’m still all irked with them.)
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 76 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 90 and mostly N.O.S. this afternoon. We shall see. I did not sleep with Ty last night which was probably a mistake as I did not sleep well. Matter of fact I woke up but went back to bed for almost two more hours. The big plan today is to get my do did. It is in dire need. I shall be there when they open at nine-thirty and hopefully get right in and out. Steak and sallit shall be dindin tonight.
[HRH Lucky Louie]Sez who![/HRH Lucky Louie] 
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I must purtify so as to be presentable to the public.
Happy Firday Y’all!
