I am so ashamed.
We have deer heads on the wall, I get an obscure Gilligan’s Island joke, add in the fact that my husband drives an extended-cab pick-up truck, I own (and wear!) cowboy boots, my lab wears a red bandana and we listen to country music…
[Chandler Bing]Could we be more white trash?[/Chandler Bing]
*We’re not, really, we’re not, it’s just seems that way… *
Bib, you got a gun rack in that pick up?
I guess in addition to “getting it” (ha! that was a good one, Rue!) I’m going to have to get 3 more houseplants. And name them Bingo Bango and Bongo.
Or just get one plant and name it Honeybee. That sounds like less work, actually.
Im here! I’m late, I know, I know but I’m here. I got a real good excuse, though. I had to go get a birth certificate. How can getting a birth certificate possibly take all day you ask? Well, I’ll tell ya!
See, I had to go to my hometown to get my birth certificate. That’s a hunnert and thirty five miles one way. So, see, good excuse. Actually, I went up yesterday and spent the afternoon and night at mom’s. We had dinner at my sister’s house and I stayed at sis’s place for a while afterwards. Sis lives next door to mom, in case y’all are wondering. Then, this morning I went to get my birth certificate. It’s all certified and everything. I got proof I was born now. Why do I need that you ask? Doesn’t the mere fact that I can see myself in a mirror and do stuff like post to the MMP prove I exist you ask? Well, yes, I answer, I suppose so. However, I am going on a cruise in two weeks and I need a certified birth certificate to present at the ship so I can get on and go to the Bahamas, provided there still is a Bahamas to go to.
Kalley YAY! I’m glad thing’s are looking up for your mom. Like Rue says, I hope she keeps on gettin’ betterer and betterer.
Puggie y’all get much damage from Jeanne? Just rain and some wind here. Not bad stuff cause we were on the western side where stuff ain’t as bad.
Lissie cover your mouth when you cough! You want to make the whole MMP sick? :dubious: Hope you’re feeling better.
FCM y’all didn’t get the cabinets in? I was expecting to hear all about installing new cabinets. You got my hopes up and now I’m all disappointed.
vunderbob I’m impressed by the manliness of your weekend.
Rue roto-rootin’ the yard is hard work ain’t it?
Everybody else… howdy for now.
-swampbear (I have a piece of paper that proves it, therefore I am)
I did get the cabinets in. They’re in my garage! Sheesh, man, we did have to sleep… We’re just finishing up the grout - my floor looks gooooooood. I’ll upload a pic or two as soon as it’s all done - about 15 minutes or so, I’m guessing.
We’re taking the rest of the evening off… Ah, the bliss if idleness!
The wildebeest did a great job!
Which one of us is the wildebeest? This was a team effort!
I thought you guys were hiring an ordinary wildebeest to do your floor. Do I have to replay the pun?
My pun detector must be out of calibration…
A typical gnu and tiler, too… :rolleyes:
There is no way to convey the depth of the groan that welled from the core of my existence…
You should be flogged! 
I’m baack! Are we still talkin’ about our weekends? (Not that it matters, being a Senior MMPer[sup]TM[/sup] I’ll just talk about whatever comes into my head anyways.)
Saturday I forced my way into the garage and got out the big window that I took out of the bedroom’s south wall when I put in the sliding glass door. Missus wants me to put it in the west bedroom wall in place of the little window that’s there now. Now I coulda done it when I had the walls all torn out for the remodel this spring, but like Rue says “I’m not a smart man.” Anyway, I set it on sawhorses on the patio and scraped and primered it. Then I worked on setting the concrete pier blocks for the new shed I’m gonna build in the back yard. We found out that you can build a shed up to 200 square feet, ands less than 10 feet tall, without a permit. Guess how big the new shed is gonna be? I did other thing on Saturday too, but that’s the interesting stuff.
Sunday I painted the aforementioned window, and messed with the pier blocks some more.
I woulda took the little window out today and cut out the wall for the bigger window, 'cept I got a call and had to drive into town to fix something for my former employer, for which they pay me dearly. 
Rue we bought one of those little Mantis tillers a couple of years ago. They’re a lot easier to handle and they chew up some dirt right smart like. I’m just sayin’.
The whistle is for playing train, of course.
I’ll tell you what I know about microwave ovens, Lissla, they’ve got a thingie inside 'em called a magnetron that spits out the 1920s style death rays to cook the food. If it’s kaput, you’re outta luck. They’ve also got a power supply to power the magnetron and some timer circuitry stuff that you can’t fix either. That’s what I know about microwaves. I hope your cough is better.
Lightingtool, what you need to do is go register at Home Depot, or Lowes or someplace like that. You know, to get something usefu, like tools. Who needs 17 toasters anyway?
Yeah Rue I’ve been staying home from work because of Georgie for the last two and a half years. :rolleyes:
Is a yew bush like a boxwood, 'cause I really hate boxwoods.
Kallessa best wishes to Mom.
FCM nice pics. What kinda tile is it?
Just in case anybody is interested, here’s some pics from our bedroom remodel this spring. This is during demolition:
a, b, (that’s the little window I’m gonna replace) c, d
And this is how it looks now:e, f, g.
If you whip vunderbob and threw him down the well, would he be waterflogged?
gotta run, cat is stealing my tortilla chips.
Only if you talk dirty when you do it…
No, of course, not!
Nice floor, BTW.
Thanks for the tiller tip Bumba. We have a little tiller, but it doesn’t have the “patented serpentine tines” (Did you see the Peter Falk version of The In-Laws? “Serpentine! Serpentine!”), just regular old non-serpentine tines. (If it’s a patented tine, shouldn’t they have named them “SerpenTines™”?) We also have a Garden Weasel (It’s not a weed-whacker, tiller or a garden hoe. Will these doe the trick? I tell you no, no, NO!) but with the shere acreage we had to break up and the high clay content on our soil (dirt), either of these options would have taken a good nine weeks to finish the job. Ha! What am I saying? If I tried to use our little tiller or, heaven forfend, the Weasel, I would have given up after about an hour and we wouldn’t have pretty flowers in our front yard next spring.
FCM bee-yoo-ti-ful floors! It almost makes up for my disappointment over the cabinets.
Bumba you have a pink wall and a pink ceiling? How precious! 
I have green stuff growing round the front of my house. Something that looks like cedar, some nandina bushes, some holly and some spidery lookin’ green stuff and some boxwoods. No flowers. Don’t want em. They cause pollen which makes me sneeze. I also got three some type of palm trees that I can’t think of the name of right now and some more of that spidery lookin’ green stuff growing around the pool. They look purty.
-swampbear (it’s stuff and it’s green and it’s happy just gettin’ rained on)
MY POWER’S BACK ON!!! MY POWER’S BACK ON!!! No real damage, swampy…just the usual debris all over Mr. Anachi’s beautiful yard. I freely confess that any survivor fantasies I may ever have had are truly and firmly quashed!!
kalley, belated continued best wishes for your mom.
fcm, great work!! That’s a beautiful floor! I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to seal the heck outta that grout. Three coats…nothing less will do!
bumba, that’s one heck of a remodel job! clapping emoticon Mr. Anachi built a shed at our old house. It was his summer project one year. Only he had to have a permit. The inspector gave him a good grade but told him he needed more hurricane straps. We should go by there and see how it held up to three hurricanes.
That’s all I got for now.

If you want your tines to be serpentines, just try to dig up some dirt with a lot of rocks in it sometime.
Of curse I saw the Peter Falk version, we are after all leading parallel lives. ('cept I don’t have a regular big dog and a small emergency backup dog and a cat named Zoe. An our kids are all growed up wiff kids of their own.) But other than that, we have an amazingly similar cultural background. If anything I have can be said to be cultural.
No Swampy, there’s obviously something wrong with your monitor. That wall is spicey curry and the ceiling is * bronze beauty* You’d think an over-the-top gay decorator would know that. Sheesh! :dubious:
At least Puggy liked it. Thanks Puggy.
