Yard Sales and Dogs

Well Howdy-Do Folks,

I’ve been having a most interesting weekend, starting on Friday night.

Well Friday night me and my Hunka, Hunka Burnin’ Love were settling down in bed to watch T.V. and no I don’t mean Jay Leno.

With my bum knee it’s much easier for me to sit in bed upright and watch T.V. and be comfortable. So Hunka to not feel lonely joined me, and so did Beaucephus the dog.

Did you know that dogs have a way of making a person move out of the bed without out them moving a muscle? That’s a fact. Our dog Beaucephus is a wizard at that trick. Old Beau will just lie there not twitch a hair and the next thing I know either me or Hunka is out of the bed and the dog has taken over. How do they do that??!! They don’t move a muscle and yet they manage to take over the whole dang bed!! I have never seen a cat do that maneuver.

Cats just give you the evil eye if you move. But dogs, they just spread themselves out like unwanted in-laws that drop by without telephoning. Science should study that, there maybe a secret weapon in that maneuver.

Anyway we all are getting comfy, cozy going to watch “Smackdown” wrestling, although I’ve been grumbling because the Undertaker was forced to leave the show although Triple H ain’t a bad substitute but he’s no Undertaker.

So the show comes on and Vickie and Edge are having their little talk and Vickie (cause she found out that Edge was fooling around before the wedding) plays a real good trick on Edge. She announces that the Undertaker is returning to Smackdown and at “Summer Slam” will compete against Edge in a “hell in a cell” match!

Well I just screamed “YYYYEEESSSSSS!!!” and I’m sure that the neighbors were thinking that Hunka and I were doing something naughty but who cares, all though the young guys on the block were looking at Hunka the next day with smiles on their faces and saying “way ta go man” and Hunka didn’t have a clue, until an hour later then his face turned 10 shades of red and it wasn’t a Sunburn.

Anyway, Hunka was happy too about the Undertakers return and said “that is righteous!”

So now all is right in a section of my world.

So on the weekend I’m doing a Yard sale.

Yard sales are a great way to get rid of things you no longer need, but is of some use to other people and you can get some extra money.

But I take it a step further, what doesn’t sell that I don’t want to hang on to, I box up and donate to a charity. So I may not get cash, but I do get a tax-write off which works just as good and is like cash in the bank later.

And it just so happens that a charity is doing their pick up drive the week after I do the yard sale, so I don’t even have to drop it off someplace, and that works for me and saves gas and time.

Now some people will take a yard sale even one more step, especially if the weather is fine. What they will do is have a bunch of their friends come over with things to sell and have a bar-b-que as well. And if that is not having fun with friends and making money then I don’t know what is.

Oh and how did I do on my yard sale? Got rid of 2/3’s of the stuff I didn’t want to keep, am donating almost half of what is left and the rest, well that’s no problem since I’m having another yard sale next month and I know that will all go.

Now that is Recycling!!

Now if I can just figure out how Beaucephus can take over the whole bed without moving I’ll have it made.

A Joke For Y'all

A friend of mine told me this joke and I thought it describes the government pretty well, so I'm going to tell it to all of you.


Seems there was this young feller' by the name of Chuck,

Now Chuck moved to Texas to get started in life, and so he bought for $100.00 a donkey from a Farmer.

Now the Farmer agrees to deliver the donkey to Chuck the next day.

Well the next day the Farmer drives up but without the donkey and Chuck asks him "Where's the donkey" the Farmer replied "Sorry Chuck but the donkey died".

So Chuck says "Well give me back my money" but the Farmer says "I can't do that I spent it"

So Chuck says "Well then give me the dead donkey" and the Farmer asks "What are you going to do with a dead donkey?"

Now Chucks says "I'm going to raffle it off" and the Farmer says "You can't raffle off a dead donkey" and Chuck says "Well we'll just see".

About a month later the Farmer runs into Chuck and asks him "Did you every raffle off that Dead Donkey?"

And Chuck says "Yep, I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 each and made a profit of $998.00."

So the Farmer asks "Well was anyone mad?" and Chuck replied "Only the guy who won the donkey, he complained so I gave him back his $2.00"

Chuck grew up and now works for the government.


And that's your joke for the day. Enjoy!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!!

Well Folks it's the 4th of JULY!!!

O.k. so I know some of you are going to say "So what" Here's what and the 411----

If if wasn't for those guys getting together on a hot, humid, muggy, fly infested room in Philadelphia to take that flying leap into independence-----

If it wasn't for the courage of men like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the Lee's of Virginia knowing that if captured they would hang.

If it wasn't for the courage of men dealing being the scourge of hate, Nazism, and dictators laying down their lives 60 odd years ago....

And if it wasn't for the courage of men going into wars they didn't understand in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq and yes dying....

This nation would not exist with all it's freedoms to be who we are, we can criticize, we can complain, we can worship the way we want, we have laws to just prevent chaos, we can protest, we can have petitions and HAVE OUR VOICES BE HEARD!!!!

Even if you don't agree with me on a lot of things, I am free to state them, and you are free to state your opinion, I don't have to listen to it, just as you don't have to listen to mine---

And you know what that is called FREEDOM!!!!

You don't have that in a state in which you either are of one religion or you will be killed like certain countries that we know about....

YOU ARE FREE TO BE WHO YOU ARE-----Just obey the laws of decency, morality, and to prevent you from getting into an accident, keep your clothes on and your pants pulled up and stay off the cell phone while driving so ya don't get yourself and others killed.

Now is that too much to ask for??

So that is what the 4th of July means to me, FREEDOM!!! But Freedom with the responsibility of (now this is a big word) Solviernity.

So have those bar-b-ques, those parades, those beer kegs, and fly the RED, White and Blue, and celebrate this nation of Freedom and diversity-----and don't complain too much, 'cause you could be living in Iran.

Just keep your oversize pants pulled up and stay off the cellphone while driving and don't play with the bottle rockets.
