I was talking to the Husband this afternoon about tattoos, specifically how he could be in two branches of the armed forces and never get any at all. I think that's weird.

 

There was a time that tattoos were taboo even among military men.  My dad didn't have one and thought they were super tacky and low class.  It is just a generational thing.

I didn't know either, teenage roosters need a good beating from time to time I guess.  I didn't plan on getting any roosters. But even professionals have only 90% accuracy so they slipped through. I was thinking they would be ok being raised together but  nope. They were going crazy with one of my poor hens last night.Not trying to mate but bullying her. They had her cornered picking on her she was crying when daughter went out to get them to bed. 

They were only 4 months old and by 6 months I hear it would have been so much worse and the hormones would have really been crazy then.

I already work Tuesday through Sunday, having Mondays off (and even the occasional appt on mondays)

trying to squeeze more people in will just make me cranky, exhausted and my work will suffer, been there, so nope.

I have a Many,000,000 things going on: Thai VISA, volunteering program, Japan, volunteering in Cozumel, clients in other cities, etc

 

I'm doing better considering i'll see my husband in two weeks, then a month after that visit, then Asia, then a month and my husband again.

Idle hands are the Devil's workshop, oj tak D2 ma'am.

Saturday GS report, see man:

 

Of Many GSs itineraried, fully Many (yes, Many) were phantom, grrrRRRR man.

We were not in a super-buying mood, anyway, tired we man.

 

The take, see man:

-- Tommy Hilfiger & Eddie Bauer dress-shirts* = $2, steal man

-- Merona dress-shirt* = $1, steal man

-- Many (2+1) shirts for Mini-B. = $Many ($2+2+1), too much but for an Indian church, oh well man

-- miscellaneous cosmetics/canned goods from an ES = $Many ($2x2x2+2+2+1+tax), too much man**

 

*straight from previous dry-cleaning and immediately wearable, expense saved man

**infernal ES lady left the most expensive item OUT of our bag, grrrRRRR man

 

Total = $Too Much, sigh man***

 

***this will not deter us from another intrepid round of GSs next week, oj nie

[TBoneTX 45,304]

Took dead-to-world nap, zzz we man.

Took Mini-B. to visit Uncle T-B., we and wee visit senior he for Father's Day man.

Went to Arby's with use of coupons, deal man.

Ate like pigs, thoroughly ingest we and wee and senior he man.

Left satisfied and stuffed, digest much we and wee and senior he man.

Nothing like a bachelor afternoon out, no ma'ams, no man.

[TBoneTX 45,304]

On way back from off-dropping Uncle T-B., gassed the T-B.-mobile, in dire need man.

Mini-B. got to push the octane button and later close the gas-tank door, helpful wee man.

Such a sweet boy, blessed we man.

 

Corpulent, purring feline on our lap is nuzzling us furiously, heavenly and typing affected man.

We see a wrapper on the floor, espy it we man.

However, we prefer to interpret this as "gracias for being our Cat-Daddy, miu man," si man.

 

We love both our children, love we wee and miu man.

[TBoneTX 45,304]

We desperately want & need sleep, zzz need we man.

However, we must wait for the bath towels, just began baking man.

We must also de-dish the warsher, Saturday night man.

 

Furthermore, Mrs. T-B., who initially set out to "organize for Ecuador," is loudly going through every apparel item that she owns, entire upstairs in "recent tornado condition" man.

 

Complicating matters is that our knees hurt worse than ever, and for unknown reason, ouch man.

 

We are consoling ourself by eating cheaps  bought this eve at Aldi, bought ourself cheap man.

Speaking of cute, we've never actually taken an inventory of how many rubias participate in this thread, unknown man.

We had chickens in the U.K....never again, love the fresh eggs but not the cleaning of their run or house or the dispatch of the old ones 

 

Took red neck to the ER against his very loud wishes as I couldn't let him carry n trying to live with the pain, he was given Valium to take along with his pain Ned's and its fantastic, he stoned off his face but not in agony 😁

 

MIL is pushing my buttons in her ever increasing attention seeking ways...I am the most easy going person until I hit that breaking point and then it'll be messy, I need a break, I've not had a day where someone hasn't needed looking after in 8 months

Not in agony is a good thing, and I'm inclined that stoned off his face is as well

 

MILs....they must have gone  to some school and got a PHD in Total Miserable Cowness before we turned up. I hear you on the break too. We took three trips last  year, and left her behind, but of course I had to take my other patient with me. He's good on the whole, unless his BP crashes, and that's not hard to deal with, but I have to do it. So even on holiday, I am watching all the time. Would be great to just take off without a care in the world, wouldn't it.

She's been unwell for 6 years and he has been for 5, and sometimes it's just a litany of complaint from get up till lay down.
