I always wanted one of these when I was a kid. Just ordered one for the kiddo.....

Radio Flyer with wooden sides! Big medicine for kids.

We got ours at the dumpster. Lasted for years, but they just recently left it behind the truck and I crushed it backing up.

T-Bone OK, I see - it was someone else straining the oil. But you got a wife that changes toilets.

I'm just so glad for how things are going. If your partner is missing that clinical personality disorder, there's no crises. It's a drama-free existence.

I'm having so much trouble picking just one Halloween costume from here http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/costumes-dress-up/?

The little one of course likes them all.

I bet I'd feel better if I could just take some damn anti-inflammatories. Tylenol is the sucks.

Are you permitted any herbal substitutes, such as turmeric, huh ma'am?

It's grass cuttin' time.

I hate grass.

You and I did the same thing, si man.

I have this vivid mind-movie of space aliens who, after observing us, have a good belly-laugh (presuming that they have bellies): "Stupid Earthlings! They grow grass just so they can CUT it, si man!"

Tiff just sucked the computer wire into the vacuum cleaner........

That sucks, sigh man.

You probably won't see grass after 2 months or so when the snow falls.

We see grass year-round, see grass man. Texas Many, Great White North Fewer, si man.

I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I have a house I can decorate this year too which is even better. I can hand out candy. SOO EXCITING!

Whee, ma'am!

That reminds me. I need to find my ghost.

That reminds me, si man. I need to find a rubia, whee man.

[TBoneTX 45,031]

and I'd like to thank Tarklar for baling the hay....

Hay man -- and get Many% off by paying bill net Many, $i man.

I know a guy who refuses to eat when he drinks. Food kills his buzz.

His motto: "I've got no self-control, no man, and I don't WANT any, no man!"

[TBoneTX 45,031]

we found last year for a dollar. T-bone would be sighing still as it wasn't less then that.

A dollar is good, $i ma'am. Speaking of which:

Saturday GS report, see man:

Awoke unwillingly at Many:Many a.m.; got on road by Many:Many a.m., to be precise man.

The take, see man:

-- Corelle dinner plate = $1

-- Large spoon + large fork = buck-&-a-half

-- 2 hand-towels = $1

-- Many plastic jars for Mrs. T-B. = $1

-- "First Many Spanish Words" book for Mini-B. = half of half of a buck

-- "Farmyard Animal Sounds" book for Mini-B. & stack scratchpad = $1

-- 2 shirts for Mini-B. = $1

-- Nordstrom long-sleeved dress shirt = $1

Total = $Many.Many, whee man.

(Moderator hat on)

One post removed, edited to remove TOS-violating slur, and returned to thread as follows:

well, couldn't the hill billy just drink more moonshine to offset the sobering effects of food?

Tark woulda talked (edited by VJ Moderation) them down to fiddy cent.......

(Moderator hat off)

(Moderator hat back on) Another post returned to thread verbatim but without quote of offensive removed material:

Well Hubby doesn't drink that much. This guy drinks way too much so any food kills it. He will go on a drinking binge and not eat or sleep for days.

Ya he probably would of tried, I found it at Toys R US and couldn't turn it down.

I can't even find a good one of those ones like the Board of Ed ones in the classrooms......

See if a school district has surplus or retired items, see man. Even better, call the procurement director at one or more school districts to ask where they get theirs, idea man.

[TBoneTX 45,031]

suggestions on electric oven ranges?

1. Don't buy retail if retail can be avoided, no and si ma'am.

2. Visit (in person) a few stores that sell various such appliances and ask a couple of salesmen which two brands/models they themselves would NOT buy, si and no buy man.

still life

If it's still, how can it have life, huh ma'am?

I must have one, si man. However, NOT at that price, NO man. Not even free shipping, no free man.

[TBoneTX 45,031]

1. We got ours at the dumpster.

2. T-Bone - you got a wife that changes toilets.

1. Say it now and say it loud, speak man: We dumpster-dive and we're proud, si man.

2. Not lately, no man, and there are many domestic wife-type activities that she eschews or does poorly, sigh man.

I think anything over what you'd normally consume in your diet is probably out because of the negative effects it can have. I might start icing my joints again to see if that will help.

[TBoneTX 45,031]

The little one of course likes them all.

Pick a selection, have her close her eyes and poke at one, and observe the reaction, see ma'am. If it's disappointment, repeat process until delight or satisfaction shows, see ma'am.

On Mini-B.'s first Hallowe'en (at age 1-&-a-half), we dressed him as Superman, super wee man. He initially had a difficult time grasping the concept of trick-or-treating, confused man. The first neighbors had a huge drum of candy that they offered him to pick from. He took one and offered it back to them. When it was explained that it was for him and that he should drop it into his little pumpkin bucket, he held it in his other hand and picked another. He then offered the second choice back to the neighbors, and then re-offered the first choice. When it was impressed upon him that he should keep one, he kept it in his hand and offered it to the neighbors at the next house, wee man.

That same year, the subdivision had a Christmas party for the kids, with a rent-a-Santa, ho ho ho man (otherwise known as a Ranta). Mini-B. took a candy cane and offered it to Ranta, then took a cookie and did the same.

Now, at Many years old, Mini-B. has become selfish, sigh man. We wonder what became of his previous little generous self, wee sigh man.

(Last Hallowe'en, Mrs. T-B. & I took Mini-B. on our anniversary dinner, she and we and wee man. Might do the same again, si man, because it's a great day to get reservations anywhere, whee man.)

1. It's really just glorified mustard, pretty sure ma'am. Will find a bottle and report, see man.

2. Ice = heaven's greatest gift to mankind, freeze man.

[TBoneTX 45,031]

OK -- this stuff is "turmeric (Curcuma longaj) (root)" and some of its extract, we see man.

However, it says "If you are pregnant... consult your doctor before use," warning ma'am.

Conclusion: Ice = nice, si ma'am.
