Hey Rusty ... dig up a nice thick blanket and a few ropes for those critters - the top o' the car is available: it may be a bit tough getting into the car when the ropes are in place: maybe they can tie 'em after entering the car, but the mattress may not be sufficiently secure. Memo to the silver-haired lady ... ... tell that flake from next door to go home! liira, until I saw the caption at the bottom, on my phone, I thought that the lady must have been cutting onions ... and needed a cut-up. o j

I would have loved to have had this when I taught middle school!

Oh the horrors! I still remember in 4th grade I had a class with a teacher who was known for being mean. She always struck terror in my heart. Well, we were supposed to have our school book covered by the next day, and I completely forgot and had left it at school. I was in tears! So my folks gave me a large brown paper bag cut open and showed me how to fold it to cover it without tape. I did that as soon as I got to class. Of course only about half the class had their book covered. Wouldn't you know it, she came over to my desk and picked up my well-covered book to show the class how it should be done!! Phew!! Permanent record saved!!

9/21/24 My 72 year-old DH, aka Prince Charming (truly),went to the grocery store this morning to pick up a few things I needed for dinner tonight. He got in line at quick check (limit 15 items) and waited for his turn. An older woman, DH guessed at least 80, told him he was in the wrong line because he had 18 items in his cart. He said, "No Mam, I have 14 items." She said she counted 18. He told her she was mistaken. She just wouldn't let it go. An employee heard her ranting and asked if there was a problem. She told him. The man counted the items and told her there were only 14 items in the cart. She didn't believe him, so she counted again. She still said she counted 18. He apologized but said there was nothing he could do. She only had 4 items in her cart. DH told her if it bothered her so much, he would happily let her in front of him, but he wouldn't go to another checkout. The employee told her she should take the offer and quit ranting or he would have to remove her from the store. She quickly moved in front of DH and made sure to bang his cart several times. The woman (close to his age) who now moved to the spot behind DH told him he was a good man. He said, "No, I'm not. My wife says I'm Prince Charming." That's my laugh for the day.
