TEETERING ON MY TOADSTOOL OF PRIDE--- SDP BEING ONE OF THE TOP 25 WEB CAMS IN THE WORLD...
per Earthcam! http://www.earthcam.com/top25/...
SHELIA HAS TO POINT OUT WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH SOME ROACHES AND A GRAVESTONE.
IT IS REALLY HARD TO TRY AND TURN 3 ROACHES AND A GRAVESTONE IN TO A POSITIVE THOUGHT- MAYBE IT IS BETTER THAN NOT HAVING BEEN NOTICED AT ALL- BUT I AM NOT SURE OF THAT EITHER... I WENT BACK TO LOOK OVER THE ROACHES...
IT IS CREATIVE.... AND I WAS 4th OUT OF 444,341 PEOPLE WATCHING THE ROACHES ON CHRISTMAS MORNING-- WHERE OUR CAM I WAS 1 OF 212 OUT OF 6,244,510-- THAT IS NOT BAD FOR A CHRISTMAS MORNING.
I HOPE SOMEONE WITH EXTRA TIME GOES THRU THE OTHER 24 TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS BETTER NUMBERS... MAYBE THAT COULD BE A MATTER OF PRIDE..
. AT LEAST OUR NUMBERS BEAT THE ROACHS...

BACK TO BUSINESS
THESE PUPS ARE SMALLER THAN SCARLOTT'S PUPS -
THAT OTHR BUNCH DOUBLED THEIR WEIGHT IN 9 DAYS-- THESE DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE... WONDERING WHY-- LUCKILY WE HAD THEM ON GOATS MILK-- AND NOW ON GRUEL SO THEY ARE PACKING IT ON NOW... WE EVEN SENT CHAOS HOME FOR AN OVERNIGHT WITH PAUL AND EARLENE WITH HOPES OF DRYIG HER UP-- SHE DOES HAV E ONE SMAL L LUMP WHICH WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR MASTITIS--
AT ANY RATE I MADE THE DECISION TO GO FOR THE GRUEL/VITAMINS/WORMING ETC AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THEM GOING BETTER.--- WE WILL WEIGH THEM TODAY AND I BET THEY HAVE GAINED ALMOST A POUND IN 48 HOURS... STAY TUNED...
***********
EVEN IF WE HAD TO COMPETE WITH THE ROACHES FOR THE TOP 25, I BET WE HAVE RECIEVED MORE FATTENING HOLIDAY FOOD THAT ANY OF THE OTHER 24 WEB CAMS..
I THINK TODAY WE WILL FREEZE SOME OF THE GREAT FF ( FATTENING FOODS) SO WE CAN SPEAD OUT THE CONSUMPTION... AND CONCENTRATE ON FINISHING UP THE 5000 M&M'S
*************
LAST NIGHT'S TUESDAY MAILCALL HAS TO BE RIGHT UP THERE -- WITH THE TORSO OF A FEMALE MANNEQUIN ON SHELA'S LAP AS THE VANNA WHITE PERSON WITH SHEIA'S ARMS PROVIDING MOVEMENT ---THE PUTTING ON OF MAKEUP --- AND NOSE PICKING... . IT WAS THE HUMOR OF THE UNEXPECTED
THE 2 PACKAGES OF WICKED WHOOPIS ARE GONE.--- WHAT DID NOT GET EATEN GOT DONATED TO THE VOLUNTEERS WITH KIDS... HAD TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE... WE STILL HAVE TH E 10 POUND WHOOPIE IN THE FREEZER IN THE CELLAR.
*******
AS FOR NEW YERS RESOLUTIONS.... I AM STILL DEALING WITH LAST YEAR'S RESOLUTION TO LOOSE WEIGHT THIS YEAR-- AND I HAVE ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
**********
WE DID GET AN EDIBLE ARRAINGEMENT-- WHICH-- FOR ONCE-- WE FINISHED IN A DAY
THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WANDERING THRU YESTERDAY
THAT CAUSED THE TUESDAY TRIVIA TO BE HOW MANY COFFEE CUPS DIID WE USE UP LAST MONTH... FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF COFFEE CUPS PURCHASED LAST MONTH --- SO SUBTRACTING WHAT'S LEFT GIVE S US A PRETTY REAL NUMBER.
***********
ASPEN ARRIVES TODAY-- ASPEN BEING THE RESCUED WHITE MULE... THIS COULD BE A GOOD ONE-- I AM TOLD SHE WAS SOMEONE'S PET-- SHE LOOKS LIKE SHJE IS A DRAFT CROSS...PROBABLY PERCHERON--TO GET THE WHITE... MAYBE 1500 POUNDS FROM THE LOOK OF HER PICTURE-- THAT IS AS BIG- OR BIGGER THAN JANINE'S HORSE.
BEFORE TOO MUCH WRONG INFO GETS OUT THERE... THIS I S A PERFECT TIME TO EXPLAIN THE REPRODUCTIVE LIFE OF A MULE..
MULES DO NOT COME FROM, PUTTING A BOY MULE WITH A GIRL MULE-- ALL YOU GET IS ACTION AND NO BABY MULE..
YOU NEED A BOY HORSE AND A GIRL DONKEY ( OR THE OTHER WAY ROUND) AS FOR SIZE YOU CAN HAVE A SMALL BOY PONY AND A MINI DONKEY AND YOU GET MINI MULE... THEY ARE NOT ALL HUGE... THESE HUGE WORK MULES ARE VERY PRIZED POSSESSIONS IN PLACES LIKE AFGHANISTAN - I AM NOT SURE YET IF THE WILL BE A PRIZED POSSESSION HERE... BUT WE CAN HAVE A GO AT IT.
SHE DOES COME WITH WORK HARNESS-- BUT I AM NOT SURE IF SHE HAS ACTUALLY EVER BEEN "WORKED" i.e. DRAGGED ANYTHING BEHIND HER.
THAT IS ANOTHER THING WE CAN FIGURE OUT. ALSO ... HOPEFULLY SHE WILL RENAME HERSELF-- BECAUSE ASPEN IS HER LAST NAME.
AND THE PERSON WHO RESCED HER APOLOGIZED FOR NOT CLEANING THE HARNESS BEFORE GIVING IT TO US-- BUT HSE HURT HER BACK-- APPARENTLY WE NOW NEED TO CLEAN THAT..
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE JOY OF RUBBING LEATHER CLEAN.. WELL---- STAND UP TO THE PLATE... WE APPARENTLY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME.
MARY'S OLD PACK SADDLE WILL PROBABLY FIT HER TOO.--- AND BEING WHITE THERE WILL BE SOME STRANGE PHOTO-'OPS-
KEEP THINKING NEXT YEARS CALENDAR-- THIS YEAR'S WILL BE EXTREMELY HARD TO BEAT.

ANNIE HAD A LOVELY OVERNIGHT WITH CHAOS GONE WITH EARLENE---
SHE NOTED THAT BOO IS QUITE THE SECURITY BEAST... SHE WOULD NOT STOP BARKING TIL ANNIE FIGURED OUT THE FRONT DOOR WAS NOT QUITE SHUT-- SO SHE SHUT IT AND BOO CURLED UP AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP. THEY DO TALK.... SO LISTEN...
HMMMM FOOD FOR THOUGHT...
I EXPECT EARLENE AND PAUL TO BE BACK WITH CHAOS EARLY TO DRAIN HER INTO THE PUPS...BEFORE THEY GO FOR BREAKFAST-- THEY WILL THEN BE BACK AFTER BREAKJFAST FOR THE AFTERNOON
KRISTIN-- THE VEGITARIAN --IS GOING TO ROAST A CHICKEN FOR DINNER... NOT THAT SHE EATS CHICKEN-- BUT SHE LIKES THE SMELL OF ROASTING CHICKEN-- HOW LUCKY CAN WE GET??
I AM TOLD JACKIE WILL BE HERE EITHER TODAY OR TOMORROW-- I FORGET. ------ THIS IS ..JACKIE-- AKA INDIANNA CHILI- MAKER--
*****
ON WE GO - WITH ONE FOOT FIRMLY PLANTED IN MID AIR-
