Boys and Their Toys - A Visual

I am having a really hard time getting my pictures uploaded to the blog. I had originally wanted to show the progression of boys and their toys.

This arrived in the mail two days ago and Jim immediately took it out of the box, before reading any directions and flew the helicopter. It crashed. (He is a man... so the directions were not required).

No noticeable damage was noted.

He hasn't been able to get it to fly again, yet. So he is tinkering and checking out what went wrong.

Well, since I wasn't able to upload anymore pictures I just have to cut to the chase.

Gratuitous buns shot.

I Have Yet Another Post That Will Not Load

Staying with my other Gal Pal, Waki Jaki, I am experiencing, yet more intermittent web access.

My wonderfully, awesome post of the night will not load and you really need the visuals to appreciate what I wanted to say.

Think, cute male buns.

I will continue trying to load the pictures for the post and will post later tonight, if successful.

Sweetness, Waki's husband does have cute buns, just not as cute as yours.

I Love You Too, Hon. Go Back to Sleep

I called Son # 2 today. My anger has dissipated.

Being the loving and giving person that I am, I woke him up from a dead sleep.

I started the conversation with, "Morning Hon. Did I wake you up?"

Sleepy Boy said, "Yeah, what time is it?"

I replied, "9:00am."

Still Sleepy Boy replied "What's up?"

The loving and caring Mom who is trying to let go and still has some apron strings attached said, "I got to thinking. I am going to give you a 'one time good deal.' You did a stupid thing and you need to learn a lesson. That said, I will pay half of the bill. I am not going to make you pay all of the cell phone charges. You'll have to pay half, but I don't want to drain all your resources, especially with me leaving. Oh, by the way, next time you think about doing something that may or may not be a possible stupid, call me and ask."

"Thanks Mom, I really appreciate the help. I love you."

"I love you too, Hon. Go back to sleep."

When Is This All Going to End???

Sweetness,

The cell phone telephone bill is really large this month. It seems that Son # 2 has been calling his girlfriend internationally for the past several weeks. I learned of this tonight when I got a call from AT&T on your cell phone. I think it is wonderful that they called after the fact that the monthly statement has been closed.


Calling on Spousal Unit's phone they say "Mrs. 'She Who,' there has been some unusual activity on your account, and we are just verifying that you know about this international calling, because this type of calling is so unusual for your calling activity."

"No, I did not know of any activity for international calling, just what are we talking about?" I think it is rather strange that just a day or two after the closing of the bill they decide to call me.

Anyway, I was able to have them adjust 700.00 dollars off the bill and we, I guess, have to eat the rest of it.

Even so, the bill is $1010.00. I pulled the money out of Son # 2's savings account and informed him that he will have to pay for his mistake. He is not happy about this, but acknowledges responsibility.

When is this STUFF going to end???


She Who

I Have Usually Lived in a Semi-rural Setting, Just Not This Rural

Living with the Waki Jaki is a little different than with my other friends. My other friends live in a subdivision with acreage, just outside of the town we lived. The amenities of country life are available to them, while the convenience of town life is only a moment away. Much like the life I lived, though on the other side of town.

I am out now out in the the real country surrounded by corn fields. Travel to work is thirty five minutes rather than the ten minutes I was used to having. Slight adjustments are going to be required for the morning routine.

It is very peaceful here and you can almost hear the corn growing in the fields. The majority of it is field corn for sale and the feeding of the livestock. There is a small patch of sweet corn nestled into the field corn, hidden so that passing by locals don't steal the corn. I understand that the stealing of sweet corn has occurred in the past and the reason why they need to hide the patch.

This family has young munchkins, so the house buzzes, at times with the voices of two little boys. They are sons of a farmer, and therefore have chores they do when they get up in the morning to help out their parents. They assist with the feeding of the livestock and horses.

The youngest boy helped his Mom pull weeds in the garden late this morning, while the older boy went with his Dad to help dig a trench for the water pipe to bring water from the well to help irrigate some of the fields.

This is going to be a totally new experience for me staying out here for the next several weeks. I have usually lived in a semi-rural setting, just not this rural.

I Am At A New Place

I moved today. I am out at my Waki Jaki's house.

I am out in the country. A new country. So far out, that many people carry their passports to go visit.

We have cows, steers, horses, and critters.

Gee, golly, whizz. I am on a new adventure. Pictures to follow.

Being the Ignorant,Non-thong Wearing Person, That I Am

I took a break with a coworker this morning. On the way out the door she said that she had a "funny" to share.

“You know how sometimes when you don’t do the laundry, the underwear gets really funky with the selection available?” Well she hadn't done laundry in awhile and had a limited selection of unmentionables left that were clean. The thought of going all Commando was not an option, so she wore a thong.

The conversation then turned to not having worn a thong in awhile and not having any normal underwear that was clean. She felt that she had a wedgie most of the morning because she wasn’t used to wearing a thong recently.

Being the ignorant, non-thong wearing person, that I am, I asked if a person gets a Heinie callus after wearing a thong for some time and if that the callus will ease thong wearability.

"No, silly you just get used to the dental floss up the butt." She then, further educated me about the different types of thongs available and the wearing of white pants... one really should wear beige colored thongs versus white to hide the unmentionables.

She said that "After awhile, the thicker versions really feel like a wedgie with all that fabric up the butt."

Yet another OMG. I got an education today.
