> [@swampbear](#): > > The Eye-talian/Mexican Infusion Enchilada casserole is a hit! Plus leftovers for both or N.O.L.es tomorrow. Win-Win! That would be Fusion. I did not steep enchiladas in any kind of liquid. That would be ick. In other news I forgot to mention, OYKW is in a semi-pout at me because I told him we need until after June 15th to buy another watermelon cause that’s when we start gettin’ the local watermelons. I reminded him that Ned, our watermelon and peanut farmer friend said that’s when we can get locally grown melons which I prefer. I reminded that furthermore Ned said he’d let us know when the watermelons are ready and we can ride over to large and in charge [Scooterville](http://georgia.hometownlocator.com/ga/worth/scooterville.cfm) and pick watermelon right out of the field anytime we want. Ripe juicy south Jawja watermelon fresh out of the field. YUM! ---

I lurves me some watermelon! Unfortunately, this far north, melon season is later in the summer. I shall try to be patient. Oh, and the local cantaloupe is yummerrific!!! Can’t wait! The corned beef and veggies was very much yummerrific also. I’ll never make corned beef boiled on the stove ever again. We have happy tummies. ---

I invoked Complicated Friend by posting his name on another website. He called me and we talked for an hour. I need to find out when he and his folks are coming up here in August because that’s when I need to take my vacation. Much shenanigans will be had. ---

Speaking of watermelon, I found a tutorial online on how to make watermelon earrings, but I have to figure out how to attach everything (how to open metal rings, specifically.) Maybe I can figure something out. I’m working on crafts for a craft fair next week. ---

[quote=“ddsun, post:142, topic:721318”] So, a funny thing happened to me this week… Monday night, I got all ready for bed, stepped out of the bathroom and… right onto a dog toy. My foot went that-a-way, and my leg went this-a-way. There was a “snap” and my ankle sort of did a flop thing. Pretty much an NFL highlight reel moment. One ambulance ride and several hours later the ER doc confirmed that I had a broken ankle. So surgery tomorrow, 12 weeks in a cast, metal plate, screws, up to a year to recover, cats and dogs living together (oh wait, that’s how this started). And somehow, according to my pre-surgical ECG, I’ve had a massive heart attack in the last 2 months without noticing. I’m hoping that was an error in the test. Just wahhhhhhh! QUOTE] I would have someone else buy my lottery tickets for a while. But hugs and healing vibes your way. > [@Spiderman](#): > > **Bobbio** , can I, uhhh, borrow, yeah, yeah, borrow your [del]coasters[/del] CD’s when you leave?

Right now, it’s at the point of being long enough to snag on a tshirt. Try rubbing in some talc. Always worked for me after one of those pre-surgical shave-jobs. ---

I had a terrific time [del]bludgeoning[/del] **Bobbio**. He was [del]the late[/del] a little late due to the notorious PA construction and poor signage but he eventually made it to [del]the scene of the crime[/del] Bob Evans. Great guy - not much of a [del]bleeder[/del] talker but then again around me who can get a word in edgewise. He told me to relay [del]his pleas for mercy[/del] best wishes on to everyone and to warn you that he may not have internet to join back in until [del]when the seas give up their dead[/del] next week sometime. And from there is was just off to work and [del]hiding the evidence[/del] helping all those fine Amazon customers get their perfect packages. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ---

At one point I thought you were a man of taste and culture. Then I remembered you are in Arkansas where horrible things like watermelon are celebrated.
