You just missed an early lunch of liverwurst, swiss, cheddar horseradish cheese, onions, tomatos, pickles and mustard sandridge, with peach tea....yuuuummmm! 

When's the last time any of youse youtes had a ROOTBEER FLOAT????  Get A&W rootbeer, and some manila ice cream, and put em together and what've you got? bibbidy bobidy boo...nah, just a small glass of heaven...my almost retired beloved and I fixed a c ouple of em last week end, and then again last night....nothin better than a rootbeer float, cept maybe two of em! ! !

Wellllllllll, guess who's up?  No, really, guess ! ! !   Me of course...My back said "get up", so I did. I do try to obey the voices in my head !   Well, I had to get up anyway, because aa catchy little tune was and is aabout to drive me krazy..."you don't have to be lonely, at farmersonly.com"....do yall get that commercial in the big city???
When I first sawr that, I thought, "man, now I can get someone to talk to", or woids to that defect.  I asked my beloved if it was ok, and she said sure, as long as they will cook and clean...then I let my mouth run away with, "well hells bells, I got one now, but she doesnt cook or clean"....

I'm still alive...but, got an early frost...man, did I have to do some backpeddleing and shuckin and jivin..."oh dear, you know I was just foolin about..."...gonna have to buy my beloved a new gun or fishin rod, or maybe some camo undies...now there's some foolish stuff !  If your beloved has camo undies, and falls in the leaves, you wont be able to find her, or him....whichever the case may be ! ! !

Case in point, I had some swell camo spyglasses, with camo lens covers...the first to be lost in the forest, was what?  Yup, one of the spyglass lens covers, and then  the spyglasses...then I just had 3 swell camo lens covers...never could lose them, still have em...and they are where?  Somewhere round here...bout the onliest (east texaas for only) thing I can find, my 3 swell ol camo spyglass lens covers...

You remember when I last left you, my back was hurting as bad as it did when I broke it last christmas???? Well sirs or ma'ams, I was just gonna lounge around in me pjs and sip this, or nibble on that etc ! ! !
As luck would have it, and she pretty well get's to have it her way,  the concrete folks called up and said "your two 14 yard truck load of crushed concrete is on the way ! ! !  I could hardly refuse, cause we've been trying to get some for about 3 or 4 months...

So, I get my tractor clothes on, and steel toe boots, fire up the tractor and waiit...yonder they come ! ! !
Now, my back, and the voices in my punkin haid are both screamin at me, "you are NOT going out there in 900 degree weather with a broke back and sprread out the crushed concrete..."  Well, sirs or ma'ams, dont have much choice...so I worked for about 5 hours spreading the crushed DUST out, cause that's about what the most of it was, DUST ! ! !  Not much I can do about that now, just go with the flow...of dust! ! !

Been crampin up all night something fierce...and I drank a hunert (east texas for hundred) gallons of water, and several bottles of Gatorade, and still cramped up! My fine bod sure could have used an excorsist or two...Even one of my quadraceps (sp) was seizing up....I was trying to remember what Lynn Prewit was saying to drink if you got cramps...and for the life of me, I just cant recollect...so I had some potato salad and cole slaw and peach tea...for an early breakfast....that oughta do er   ! ! !

Guess what else ! ! ! No, go on and guess ! ! ! Nope, not that...ok, Jack, mah dawg, broke the desk lamp this fine early morn...yup, he was on the love seat, and his tail was hooked into the lamp cord, and when he sawr me, his tail fired up and whupped that ol lamp offin the desk, and it hit the floor and brokee...they sure dont make lamps like they use to, do they ! ! !  I didnt like that stupid ol lamp in the foist place. It was one of those "bankers lamps", but not with a green shade...it had an opaque glass  cover, so when you turned it on, it blinded you...we hardly ever used it anyway, so ah guess Jack, mah dawg, did us a favor ! ! !

aaaahhhhhrrrrrgggggg...that's mah back a hollerin ! ! !  I think I will lay down in the freezer...maybe duct tape a frozen pizza to my back....yeah yeah yeah, we eat frozen pizza...cant get pizza delivery up here on sam mount wanninski.....cant get phone service, or the newspaper either...have to go to one of three places to get stuff...the Exxon station, the Valero Station, or Rattlers, (shell station and Burger King)...

I will say, Valeros has the best fried catfish, fried shrimp, and fried chicken, all for about 5 bucks each....The catfish is really good...The Exxon station has good kolaches....and the shell station has great fudge...see, we want for nothing up here, er or out here...cant get it delivered though...

ok, guess I'll repair to the fridge...keep the sun at your six, when it comes out, and ride boldly ride...in the freezer, old geezer, with tweezer, dont sneezer....a mind is a terrible think....

Oh, hey, me, Mr Magoo, is getting gnu glasses...at Brenham Eye Associates...the eye doctors name is...Dr. Deborah A. Thomas...formaly from Oak Forest. Her office was on 43rd...she knows some of YOU PEOPLE...Anyway, she is great people, and so is her staff...and, they're on our vision insurance plan...

Say goodnight Gracie...."goodnight Gracie"...

Beau, its Tonic Water. Pat and I both use it. We use to keep a bottle on our night stand.


08/06/15 11:01 AM #7258    

 

Beau Wann, Jr.

TONIC ! ! ! !  Ok thanks Lynn...I thought it was soda,  quinine or milk of magnolia...Tonic, yeah that's the ticket...Gin and tonic ????  Maybe Scotch and soda? ? ?  Hey, hows the red rocket?   Ever now and again, my beloved and I see one of those fine veeehicles, and say, "maybe that's lynn or pat"  but generally they are going so fast and we are going so slow that we really cant see whom is driving....Saw a gnu vet advertised, and it has eight (8) speed transmission....now if it had a low and high range, it would qualify for a semi-tractor-double clutchin E-flat trailer truck.

Hey Pat, you dont like ballet???? Geez loueez, Swan Lake? I have a mirrored wall and ballet bar in the spare bedroom where I practize my moves...pirouette, high leap, the twist, the stroll, and the heimlech manuver....

I am not doing a blessed thing today, maybe ! ! ! Of course I've been NOT doing stuff since 2:30 this mornin.
Thanks again Lynn for the re-info...I've got a question, just what is tonic water?  Does it come from teu-tonic plates?  Can you make won-ton ics out of it?  Remember that song, "won tons at marys, oh oh oh won tons at marys..."?

I dont think wwe have any tonic water!  I wonder if ginger ale would work ! ! ! ok, time to go away...

Cephus, in my humble opinion tonic is best when diluted with an equal portion of Tanqueray, and over ice with a twist of lime. Sublime! Especially in the summertime, and of an evening.

My neurologist prescribed tonic water several years ago for leg/feet cramps.  I occasionally still get them and have to get up and walk the floor til they stop, but my primary care doctor as well as one other also prescribes tonic water because of the quinine in it (doctor says they don't sell quinine any longer).  Kroger has their own brand of diet tonic water and they sell it buy 3 get 1 free.  Also, if you haven't gotten your Kroger card programmed for Senior Discounts - do it.  You get 10% off any Kroger product.

I forgot to mention, the dog in Charles' arms - Molly - passed Friday night (7 years old).  Had a stone lodged in a bone blocking her uretha which caused her bladder to perforate and surgery couldn't help because her bladder was dead.  Said it was caused by her diet and it's genetic.  Luckily Taffy (dog in my arms) is not from the same litter and has completely different metabolism.  But they warned - NO MILK BONES (like a double cheeseburger for humans) and to give Gerber's chicken sausages and green beans as treats (yuk).  But Taffy seems happy with them, so I'll keep giving those as treats.  Molly was Charles' dog, so as my son said, "PopC got lonely for her in Heaven, so she decided to join him."

Beauregard I love ballet.  I'm just too weak through my core to do it any longer.  I can't believe you got out there and spread that concrete dust.  

Tonic water mixed with Italian pomegranate soda and fresh orange juice is out of this world.  I like tonic water plain, but I love it mixed with Italian soda.  Maybe if I remember to play the lottery and Win I will live in Italy for two or three months each year.  What a dream.  

Jimmie Lee, my daughter always has golden retrievers and one of her dogs found a piece of rawhide and ate it.  Dog had to undergo emergency surgery because her small intestine couldn't handle it.  The vet said it is common in goldrens.  Amazing that our animals are as unique as we are.  My new cat, Samantha Jane, has a very delicate stomach.  I want her to live a long time so I am trying to find a treat that she likes and her digestion can handle.  My next door neighbor is a dog show judge, but she is a cat expert so she is helping me spoil this baby to death.  Silly cat was supposed to be mine and she prefers ron.  I am the servant and he is the boyfriend.

Jimmie Lee, so sorry to hear of the passing of Molly...(love that name)  methinks the child is right, She's sitting in Charles lap as we speak...I sure hope I can reconnect with all my babies when it's time for me to go to the other side...what wonderful little friends they were ! ! !

Guess we're going to have to cut out the milkbones...never have fed them rawhide though. We heard it was bad for them long time ago...also too we heard bones were bad for dogs...but a person we know at church, rescues or does something with wolves, and she says that as long as the bone has not been cooked, it's ok to give to dogs...

We've been giving greenbeans to our boys for a long time...has no calories, plus it adds roughage (hoity toity for ruffage)...check the gerbers chicken sausage, does it have onion?  If so, oinion is very bad for ccritters! Causes hemoglobin problems!  

I sawr on "As Time Goes By" (a british sitcom), that if you put your bare nekid feet on the floor, that will stop cramps...in that area I presume...kinda hard to put a quadracep on the nekid floor...

TJ, come to the front...TJ...Never had tanqueray, heard of it, but never sampled it...I think i'd rather have a rootbeer float, or a malt of any flavor...

Pat, I was just funnin ya...I'm not much of a ballet person, but am amazed at the athleticism of the dancers...if the goils have to dance on their toes, why doesnt the guy?  Hmmmmmm???? If you ax me, thats gendercism...or dancercism...or discriminationism...film at eleven !

WE ARE OUT OF LEMOADE ! ! ! !  Oh the humanity ! ! ! We dont have a Krogers up hear, boo !  But, they are building one about 32 miles from here just on the Houston side of 99!  I be so glad, I dont like HEB...they dont carry half the stuff as Kroger does...ALSO, THEY ARE BUILDING AN ACADEMY in the same spot, yeaaaaaaaaa!

Hey TJ, did I mention that the hog hunters got all the hogs? Yup, sure did. Now the little doey eyed deah are back at the feeder.. I checked my files from last spring, and we had no fawns at least here on our place.  I've seen lots of fawns and does though on OCH (old chappell hill road), just a few miles from here!

Ok, remember now, you and I are friends forever....

Jimmie Lee, sorry for your loss of Molly, but comforted as you and your kids are that she is with Charles again. I too believe that we will be greeted by our four legged family along with our other loved ones at Heaven's doors. I just had a conversation with a friend today about losing our beloved pets and how only animal lovers understand the real sense of loss we feel. I truly believe that our pets are among God's greatest gifts to us. In the case of dogs they teach us how to love unconditionally, and in cats how to fake indifference.

Susan Howard (Bowman)

So sorry for your loss of Molly, Jimmie. You are comforted in knowing she is keeping Charles company. I am a true believer in the Rainbow Bridge. Animals are too special and add too much to our lives not to be waiting for us to join them.

I learn so much from you all. Didn't know about tonic water.. thought it was just for gin or vodka and lime! Thanks for sharing the medicinal purposes as well as some tasty- sounding drinks. I didn't know about Milk bones, either. Won't be giving them to our dog anymore. My cat loves kitty treats, but they always cause problems. Haven't found a brand yet that doesn't.

Beau, I can't believe you've been shovelling crushed cement. NOT GOOD! Get some help to do that kind of hard work. My motto these days is it's better to shell out a few bucks than suffer the consequences. Love to read your posts. You always bring a smile or a laugh to my face.

We will be leaving God's country a few days early. Got to allow a few more days for back surgery preparation for my husband. We'll be leaving for hot Texas on Tuesday.

Heard a really good performer last night, Chris Austin Martinez. He was a serendipity as we had no idea there would be live entertainment at the Lake City Cafe. Played and sang alot of oldies as well as original songs. Bet he's on You Tube.
