MAY 24, 2013

THINGS THAT GO THUMP IN THE NIGHT IS THE BIG CONCERN TODAY.. AT 3 AM BECKY HEARD IT--I HEARD ( AND FELT) ----IT WAS A BIG NOISE-- THE KIND YOU ALSO FEEL.
SHE THOUGHT I FELL OUT OF BED-- BUT THEN HEARD ME COUGH SO FIGURED I WAS OK..
ACTUALLY 2 IT WAS THUMPS 5 SECONDS APART
I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE JUSTIFIED IT BEING ME BECAUSE OF THE SECOND THUMP.. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING... I'D BOUNCE???
***********
WE PUT ON THE NEWS TO SEE WHAT BLEW UP- AND WERE RELIEVED TO FIND IT WASN'T BOSTON.
ONLY NEWS WAS A BRIDGE FAILING IN WASHINGTON -- STATE OF.
***********
WAAAAAAAY BACK-- PRESIDENT CARTER-- WHO IS A PHYSISIST WARNED OF THE PERILOUS STATE OF THE BRIDGES AND LEVYS IN THIS COUNTRY.. AMONG OTHER THINGS..
AT ANY RATE-- WHEN WE GO TO BUY DRY DOG FOOD AT SAM'S STORE -- THERE ARE TWO BRIDGES ACROSS THE MERRIMAC RIVER-- ON ON RT 95-- AND A TINY ONE TO AN ISLAND AND THEN ACROSS ON A TWO LANE ROAD.
A BEAM-- AKA LARGE CHUNK OF METAL--- FELL OUT OF THE RT 95 BRIDGE- IT WAS QUICKLY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE BRIDGE- SO WHATEVER GODS THERE BE SAW FIT TO START REPAIR ON THE TINY BRIDGE.
I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GO BUY DOG FOOD.
THERE IS ALSO THE ASPECT... IF IT WAS NOT A STRUCTURAL PART OF THE BRIDGE... WHERE THE BUILDERS PADDING THE BILL BY WELDING ON ODD BITS OF METAL??
I ALWAYS OPEN MY WINDOW.. PER THE MYTHBUSTERS SUGGESTION..
********
KAREN AND DIDI ARRIVED LAST NIGHT FOR AN OVERNIGHT IN THE CABIN.. DIDI LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND KAREN SAYS SHE IS JUST THE PERFECT DOG. HAS FLOWN MANY TIMES WITH HER.. AND THINGS LIKE THAT...
I SAID A QUICK GOODNIGHT AND FIGURED WE COULD CATCH UP ON DETAILS IN THE MORNING.. I HAD A LONG DAY..
**********
ONE REAQSON THE DAY WAS LONG WAS INSOMNIA-- APPARENTLY MARIA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE WE BOTH SAW THE SAME "INFOMERCIAL" ABOUT COOKING WITHOUT A HEATERD SURFACE-- YOU KNOW- ONE OF THOSE "AND WAIT-- WE WILL DOUBLE THE OFFER FOR JUST HANDLING AND SHIPPING"
WE WORKED THAT OVER A BIT... MARIA IS SOME KIND OF ENGINEER AND HAD SOME WILD IDEA ABOUT MOLECULAR ENERGY AND ANNOYING MOLECULES. I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN BOILING SPAGETTI FAST.
THE INFO MERCIAL WAS FULL OF PEOPLE IN CHEF'S HATS.
****
WHICH REMINDED ME ---- WE DECIDED THE 2 PUZZLE PICTURES WILL BE -- ME INTHE CHEF'S HAT FEEDING 3 DOGS ( IF I CAN FIND THE JPEG)... AND THE SECOND WILL BE BAILEY IN THE TREE.
***
MARIA IS WORKING ON THE DOGGIE BAG " STORE" FOR OUR WEB. I WILL DEFINITELY NEED HELP RUNNING THT BECAUSE I ALREADY FORGOT AN ORDER FOR 5 MONKEY FISTS-- AND I KNOW I HAVE A N ORDER FOR 2 FOR THE LUGGAGE AND IT WILL TAKE ME A WHILE TO FIND THE ADDRESSES..
WE ARE A WORK IN PROCESS-
THOSE MONKEY FISTS CAN HAVE A PLAIN TAIL ( DOG TOY TYPE)  --A LOOP-- TO FASTEN IT TO SOMETHING-- OR A SNAP ..SO WE H AVE TO GET THAT INFO FROM WEB TO ME IN THE T TENT
( WHICH IS OUR MANUFACTURING FACILITY
**************
TENTS..
THE PINK ENVELOPE BRIGADE HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL THAT WITH HE MONEY OF MINE WHCH I HAD PLANNED ON USING.. WE HAVE ORDERED A 20 FOOT TIPI WHICH I AM TOLD SLEEPS 8 PEOPLE.
... THEY WI\OULD HAVE TO BE DARN FRIENDLY PEOPLE... BUT THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK SAYS.
MAYBE SOME OF THESE OCTOBER FEST PEOPLE WILL WANT TO TRY AND SLEEP IN IT.... BE MY GUEST.
***********
TEAL AND JOCELYN AKA "57" MADE THE NEWS


 AND THE CHANEL 9 NEWS SHOULD AIR THIS WEEK.-- UNLESS THERE IS SOME OTHER LOCAL DISASTER-- LIKE THE BRIDGE OVER THE MERRIMAC FALLING DOWN... BECAUSE OF AN OVER WEIGHTED VAN WITH TOO MUCH DOG FOOD IN IT.

************

WE HAVE ALMOST MADE IT THRU THE WEEK WITH NO MEGAN-- AND NOW EARLENE IS GONG SOUTH TO HELP HER SISTER AND HER KNEES/ HIPS... OR SOME OTHER JOINT..

EARLENE WILL BE GONE A WEEK.

***

THEN THERE IS THE CHICKEN BOARD--- I AM HAPPY TO SEE EVERYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE SHATUPON SOCIETY'S FUNDRAISER.. I WAS CONCERNED THE PINK ENVELOPES AND TIPI WOULD UPSET THE CHICKEN BOARD.... ON WHICH WE HAVE COME TO DEPEND...

I WILL MAKE A DEAL-- SELL THAT OUT AND I WILL ACTUALLY PAY TO HAVE AN ULTRASOUND TO SEE IF MERLOW IS PREGNANT-- SHE IS FAR ENOUGH ALONG WHERE IT SHOULD SHOW....

 ************

WINSTON REPORT-

IF I HAD NOT SEEN THAT XTAY I WOULD SWEAR THER WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM.. HE HAD A HALF PILL OF DURAMAX AT NOON-- WE MISSED THE NIGHTIME PILL AND HE STILL IS BOUNCING NOT A SINGLE YELP.

 I KNOWS HIS NAME -- BIG TIME-- WHICH WILL HELP BECAUSE HE IS DESTINED NEVER TO WEAR A COLLAR AT ALL.

I WILL BACK OFF ON PILLS TO SEE WHERE THE PILL WORKS AND NOT WORK-- AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE 1/2 PILL IS TOO MUCH--

A WORK IN PROGRESS.

HE IS ON CAMERA-- I WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE PLAYING HE DOES WITH THE HANGING ROPE IF HE HAS THAT NECKJ INJURY..

 WATCH HIM...

**********

ONE LAST ABSOLUTELY RIDICOULOUS TOPIC

 SHELIA HEARD OF MY PROBLEM OF INADVERTANTLY SMEARING VASOLINE IN MY HAIR-- AND BOUGHT ME A JAR OF ORGANIC-VIRGIN COCONUT OIL--.. I DIDN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS---- IF THERE WERE ANY.. SHE TOLD ME TO SCOOP A GLOB INTO MY BATH.. WHICH I DID.

THAT STUFF IS STRANGE -- IT MADE EVERYTHING SMOOTH AND SILKY.. INCLUDING THE BATHTUB- THANK HEAVENS I HAVE A ROPE OVER THE TUB OR I WOULD BE SLIDING AROUND IN IT STILL

SO I THEN READ THE DIRECTIONS AND IT TALKED OF NUTRITION AND CALLORIES . SO NOW I GAIN WEIGHT BY BATHING??

REMEMBER MOST GREAT INVENTIONS WERE THE RESULT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY

GOTTA WATCH HER --- NEXT SHE MAY SUGGEST PEANUT BUTTER...

 
I AM NOT YELLING-
