Well-to add insult to injury this post is about the old "dummy". OH, Ya'll don't know who the old "dummy" is? Why Calvin the cat-that's who. I could've called "it" the old "scummy dummy" but refrain from doin so. Lil Dumplin had her laptop online now and I'd get into deep trouble for injurin the pride of "it". Well anyhow-it does get kinda dull around these here parts when Lil Dumplin is gone. Ole Calvin has larned to eat onions tho. Actually the ones that I peel and some of'm falls on the floor. "It" don't much care for'm but they's about as good as that cheepo catgrub I buy for "it".

Noticed that Verizon is already "doin the dew" thing to it's customers in these parts. They have changed bunches of things lately and it's sure not to benefit us, the customer. I'm sure I'm now payin for each minute I'm usin the phone on LOCAL calls! If so--then the crooks can get ready for some BIG changes at the "house of hoot". Can they say "WIRELESS" and "UNLLIMITED CELL PHONE"! If they can't then it's a good time for'm to learn some new words--!

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm glad. Maddie "big gurl" will be spendin the night tomorrow, with us. Seems she just can't live without seein Lil Dumplin about every week. Can't figger it out either--just because "Gam ma" buys'r bunches of stuff, lets'r watch the tv as long as she wants, doesn't have to pik up'r toys!

Been figgerin about puttin a garden out again this summer. Since I no longer eat red meat I suppose hambones and beef steak bones are out of the question. Oh, I know--I'll plant bunches of chicken breast bones. Naw-that won't work either. All that crow'n will wake up those 6000 head of feeder hogs down the road a piece. Sure wouldnt want to upset those dainty little piggies that smell like lilacs and roses!

As ya'll can see---I'm gettin slap happy. Time for the old hillbilly to "hit the hay" and start all over tomorrow mornin! G'nite mates. old hoot, the "plum tukkered out, gibson. Matt.24:44

I know what you mean, Hoot. A couple months ago when we received our telephone bill, dh opened it and then made one of those exasperated "AARG!" type noises that let me know he wasn't too happy. I looked at him and quickly said, "I didn't do it!" as I've been carefully limiting my long distance calls lately. He just shook his head and said it wasn't the long distance at all, but most of the standard charges had all either taken a huge jump or nearly doubled. So our phone bill had almost doubled, without any long distance!

Hey, if you figure out a way to get those bones to sprouting in your garden, let me know. I'll buy some starts from you.

I have a cat that will eat garbanzo beans. The dog will eat anything and everything.

I'm almost to the point of only using my 'land lines' for computer and fax service. If I could get my long standing business phone numbers converted to cellular, I'd give it a try.
