But rain produces nice results.

Without rain, our wells would run dry, and the term “dry” is not well-liked around here, is it??

Just remember, if you do get drenched in cold, hard rain, you should run a hot bath and soak immediately.

It’s for your own good

Good times!!

Personally, I don’t have any major superstitions. I avoid walking under ladders because I have hit my forehead a few too many times doing so. I think black cats are beautiful. I like lavender not for luck, but because deer hate it and stay away. I have opened many umbrellas in the house, and as far as horseshoes go, they look rather pretty in decor, but not my style. Shamrocks are for the Irish, and the thought of carrying a rabbit’s foot in my pocket is rather revolting, mostly because I used to watch my uncle make keychains from the paws.

All that being said, I do have one tiny superstition. I don’t wear my team colors when the Aggies play. Every time I’ve done so, they have lost. So I guess I do have one, even though it’s rather weak.

What little superstitious quirks do y’all have?

At least you won’t suffer very long

A new priest, born and raised in Texas, comes to serve in a city parish and is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions.

The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.

The old priest suggests, “Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand and try saying things like ‘yes, I see,’ and ‘yes, go on,’ and ‘I understand.’”

The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all the suggested remarks to the old priest.

The old priest says, “Now, don’t you think that’s a little better than slapping your knee
and saying, ‘No shit, what happened next?’”

Now that y’all had a laugh, get going on your chores, and don’t forget to get your car washed!!

Have a great Saturday!!

I miss good TV. Even Disney and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network have their drawbacks. Kids shows are not as wholesome as they used to be. And even commercials are sending the wrong messages. I recall one for a cereal, where an older lady is watering her lawn, and a kid is kinking up the gardenhose, only to let it go when she is looking at the head. That is not something I want any kid learning. And reality shows only show the stupidity of people.

So, what shows do you miss? What shows helped to form your view of the world? And more importantly, did anyone else watch Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom all the time??

Seriously, doesn’t this make you feel good??

If I smoked, I would soooo need a cigarette right about now

I hope this helps to make your Monday a bit more cheerful

I like my revenge to be more subtle. There was a young woman that worked in the same store I did, who obviously did not like me. She always requested to be on the same shifts I worked, which never made sense, until I was called in for a review. Turned out she was *ahem* taking credit for my work. Seeing as how disputing it would make me look defensive, I suggested that I work under the manager, during her shift instead. That way she could keep a better eye on what I was doing. Needless to say, the other gal was left to work with the MIT, and the numbers soon showed her to be a slacker, and a liar. To say I was pleased when she was let go would be harsh. True, but harsh.

So, my interwebby friends, how do you like to serve it up? Hot like a five alarm chili? Or cold, like the sweetest champagne?

And don’t forget to regale us with details!

Before you think otherwise, I don’t mean to imply that the earworms are the worst songs ever. I just mean these are songs that get stuck in my head, good or bad. Also, these are done in no particular order, with the exception of the pets. And the inventions. A flushing toilet beats a machete by a hair.

*Y’all know I mean the other one!

A few years ago, Hubby, his Twin and a mutual friend were out for beers and pool. The friend went to the restroom when it was Hubby’s turn to break. When he returned, Hubby explained the break, resulting in one of the greatest comebacks ever:

Hubby: I got the small balls.

Friend: That’s what I heard.

Hubby: Damn, your girlfriend does tell you everything!

Friend: ……

Friend: There is no comeback to that….

So, what is the best comeback y’all ever said? What is the best one ever said to you?

And Aggies better not be involved
