We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in your community.
Your site provided us with valuable information to work on. You’ve done a formidable job and our whole community will be thankful to you.

 

I’m a little disturbed a group of volunteers named porn are starting anything in my community, no less a scheme.

But please, if they found valuable information on my site?

No thanks are necessary.

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

 

This one is interesting, as it’s spam…. about not wanting spam.

You don’t often find that kind of symmetry in life.

And on the 8th day, the government starts screwing with our vacation…

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

 

Thanks for sharing.

Not.

Even better than rocks…

Hello! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and terrific design and style.

 

Myspace?

Clearly this spammer is using a Tardis.

Jennette’s Pier Part 2…. and some fish whispering.

Hi Jennettes Pier Part 2…. and some fish whispering.

Article is well written and is very useful.
Have you heard about this new way to make your baby fall asleep
in minutes? – http://bit.ly/Gets-Your-Baby-to-Sleep
Your baby is wonderful!! Kiss you All!

 

I’ve had a lot of nicknames over the years, but fish whisperer wasn’t one of them.

And my baby is wonderful?

Damn. I don’t even remember being pregnant.

OMG…

Junior!!!

 

 

Well, you can’t blame him.

 

Our resident chucker was a bit ticked off the other day.

He was out back in the sun, enjoying a few apples…

Happily posing for pictures….

And an hour later?

Bam!

One cold woodchuck.

We had a squall move in from out of nowhere.

And I’m sure he was rethinking the decision to come out of hibernation.

No, he wasn’t happy.

With the snow…. or me.

Getting my geek on.

 

While I’m not a huge television person, I do tend to leave the husband to his own devices at night ( and by this I mean John Wayne and MSNBC, not self gratification )  and curl up in bed with a remote of my own on occasion.

More often than not? I’ll be watching some dry as toast documentary that no one else finds the least bit appealing.

Case in point?

 

IMG_3127

 

Yeah…. I loved it.

And if you’re wondering why the husband and I have to watch separate tv’s?

I once made him watch a 4 part series about Kublai and Genghis Khan called  “Mongol Horde… Storm From The East”.  He fell asleep 10 minutes into every episode and still never forgave me.

On my current DVR list?

 

 

Forbidden History is my jam.

Juicy secrets from the past….. what’s not to love?

I just discovered Unearthed.

And have been walking through the Valley of the Kings, marveling over ancient Thebes and reading hieroglyphs from the Temple of Karnak …. in my pajamas.

You can’t beat that with a stick.

I also record PBS’s Nature.

How could I not?

 

People can be so hateful.

 

I know tax time can be a stressful time of year, even now when the deadline has been rolled back.

And I know some people are still anxiously awaiting their stimulus checks.

But please, can we all just take a breath and have a little common decency?

The following is a recent FB post from the mother of a friend of mine. She’s a widow in her 70’s who works for H&R Block at tax time to supplement her fixed income.

The fact that she even has to say this saddens me.

 

 

 

So please, calm down.

We’re all in this together.

Even the tax accountants.

Because it’s my duty to share these things.

 

You can thank me later.

 

 

I was flipping through a magazine the other day and saw this little blurb of a review.

 

 

Needless to say, I was perplexed.

Buttne?

Exfoliating ass masks?

Excuse me while I crawl back under my rock where such things don’t exist.

 

 

Yes…. it’s a real thing.

And according to the description? Will get your behind ready for prime time.

 

 

Here’s a helpful product review.

 

 

So if you’re looking for a new beauty regime… or if your posterior just needs a little freshening up?

You know who to thank.

No soup for you!

 

I ventured out to the grocery store again this morning and was feeling a bit gangsta.

 

 

Although in retrospect, a pink butterflied gangsta probably wasn’t all that frightening.

Still no toilet paper or flour on the shelves…. and may I just say?

This is getting old.

It’s been what, almost 2 months since the virus started spreading? Come on people…. the supply chain is still moving, food is still available. Stop the panic buying FFS!

Today?

 

 

The soup Nazi made an appearance.

 

 

Apparently, the run on soup has begun.

 

 

Unless you want creamy cauliflower or butternut squash.

There was plenty of that.

 

 

Update…. You’re Never Too Old To Learn.

 

I ran across a catalog for continuing education the other day, and because I used to have a  totally ridiculous  blog series about this, I had to look.

The series started  here back in August of  ’18 with a class on Spoonbending.

Shows what you know Junior. There’s a whole class devoted to that spoon.

Yes. An actual college class, I’m not lying.

(Or drinking… go figure.)

 

 

So when I saw this current class being offered, it simply begged to be blogged about.

 

Spoon Carving Level 2
Up your spoon carving skills and build on what was learned
in your previous spoon-carving class. This time around you’ll
carve a deeper serving spoon, as well as practice additional
refining and finishing. Prerequisites: Previous woodworking
experience or Spoon Carving, Beginner. Material fee of $15
included in the price of the course.

Wednesday, beginning Oct. 16, from 6 to 9 p.m. for 3 weeks

Cost: $75

 

Clearly our college is still obsessed with spoons.

Well, that may be a different class entirely.

“Up your spoon carving skills?”

Who said I had any to begin with.

“Carve a deeper serving spoon?”

Hell, that’s totally worth $75.

And I’m sorry…

But you know there can only be one possible instructor for this class –

I knew that Flounder was watching me.

 

You just can’t make this stuff up.

 

Beware the Haddock.

 

If you know anything about DARPA, you’ll know that creating a James Bond mackerel is one of their least crazy ideas.

Recruiting fish and shrimp as espionage agents?

Why not. They’ve launched a brain computer interface and are engineering buildings that would grow and repair themselves.

After that, a Jason Bourne eel is child’s play.

Quality viewing.

 

I’m beginning to think Direct TV is screwing with me.

They know I’m stuck at home and subject to my husband’s absolute control over the remote during the quarantine.

The reason I know this?

 

 

All the quality programming they’re providing.

Last weekend?

 

 

It was Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet.

A classic the husband just had to watch.

Lucky me.

 

 

Have you hugged your robot today?
