Tree rat wars revisited
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Devil squirrels! Tree Rats!!! They’ve chewed through the cords for my tree lights. Not just one string of lights have they ruined but they have taken out one extension cord and the cord to my Bethlehem star light. This means war…again.
When I see them in my yard, I take the dogs out. They love to bark at the tree rats and chase them away. If the dogs are down for their naps I go out and chase the danged fuzzy tailed bandits. I vow to give them no peace in my yard. Maybe they’ll decide that other yards are more to their liking.

It’s not mine…

The Curmudgeon had his doctor’s appointment yesterday. He was gone and back before I got out of bed. When I came downstairs my first question to him was, “Well, how did the appointment go?”
He replied, “I’m pregnant!”
After I finished giggling and caught my breath, which took quite a while, I said, “Oh? And what makes you say that?”
The doctor put him on prenatal vitamins for his anemia.
You all have a good one!
When to be tactful

“Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.” — Isaac Newton
Southern Belles will pat you on the head and say, “Bless your heart.” What they mean is, “Holy crap you REALLY are a moron aren’t you?” They smile and nod and let it pass…much like a silent fart in an elevator.
Yankee gals will tell you what a moron you are. Make no mistake, we know all about being tactful, we just prefer not to use it. Why waste the energy? If you are an idiot and you haven’t learned by now, then it’s time we told you.
If by chance you are a nice moron and have no inkling that you are one, we Yankee gals might cut you a break and go easy on you. …..Giggle. Snort, okay I was fooling with you there.
I pity you if you catch a Yankee gal on a playful day for then she could tell you to go to hell with such diplomacy that you’d be looking forward to the trip. Now that’s tact!
You all have a good one!
