Well, here it is, mid- August already. My how the time flies! Not to mention, mosquitoes! Those little bastards have sent me scurrying for cover, after succumbing to their aerial barrages on my side porch, for the last few days. See, my porch faces due west, and I get the intense afternoon sun which, lower in the sky as nightfall approaches, slants ( Read more... )

Been up since 6:30, or thereabouts, after staying up until 2 A.M. nerding. Don't feel half bad, either! I have a lot of things on my "To Do" list for today, and have accomplished quite a bit already ( Read more... )

Not having transportation, when you live i the country, sucketh. Majorly. I asked my landlord, Artie, who has a truck repair shop, to look out for a new, old car for me. Where I will get the money from, I have no idea. My old car has been disabled for almost three years, and while it is fixable, it is a '94, and has a lot of miles on it. Also, I ( Read more... )

Men! What the hell is it about them, some defective gene? Like they're all about overkill, and destructive tendencies,( in general), and women are more about subtlety, trying to work with rather than against, and less invasive actions ( Read more... )

We just had a surprise visit from my long lost neighbor dog Cooter. He was a regular visitor here at Casa Guavmom, and Poco's homie, almost every day for weeks and weeks, earlier this Spring. Then, nada. No sign of the dear boy for an eternity. I figured that Sherry, the nice lady whom he calls Mom, must have received complaints about him, and ( Read more... )

So I was just talking to my landlord, Artie, and I described The Sound to him. As I thought originally, ( I was close when I said "moose"), it was the mating call of a buck deer, marking his territory. That was actually one of my thoughts. Artie said that I was a good imitator. He was able to identify the sound at my very first, "BUAAHHH!" Hahaha ( Read more... )

Remember me telling you about this new health regime I'm on? No? Well, this came to me through Guav's Mother In Law, Venus. A lovely lady as ever was. it is a common practice in Japan.

Okaysies. SO what you do, is drink four, 8 oz. glasses of water immediately upon waking in the morning, before even brushing your toofies, and definitely prior ( Read more... )

This is a tale of two noises. The first, a mystery noise, occurred in the wee, small hours of the morning. I had woken up from a few hour's worth of sleep, and was online, with the front door wide open to let in the cool night air ( Read more... )
