I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD NOT SHARE MY CONCERN WITH YOU ALL SO YOU CAN LOOSE SLEEP TOO.. NEAL SEEMS TO BE A PERFECT LITELE GUY -- AND HE MAY BE...
MY CONCERN???? HE HAS ONE CLEARLY DEFINED.. WHERE THERE ARE USUALLY 2.. I KNOW THAT THEY DESCEND SEPARATELY-- BUT SOMETIMES THE SECOND ONE DOES NOT DESCENT-- RENDERING IT STERILE... BUT THE ONE IS NOT AND WILL WORK--SMALL PROBLEM IS THAT THE COST OF NEUTERING AN UNDESCENDED IS ESCALATING.. SO ALTHO -- AT THE MOMENT IT SEEMS I WOULD NTO BE NEUTERING HIM, IF HE HAS A LITTER OF10 MALE PUPS WITH ONYL ONE THE COST COULD BE PROHIBITIAVE.
AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE ONLY GLOBAL WARMING TO WORRY ABOUT.
JUST TO COMPLETE MY TOTAL EDUCATION ON THE TOPIC... CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG GEORGE.. BUT ISN'T THE LEFT ONE SLIGHTLY HIGHER EVEN WHEN FULLY DESCENDED?????
I SUPPOSE IT IS SACRELEGIOUS TO ASK SAINT FRANCIS TO FIND AND LOWER THIS?

OTHER THAN THAT.....
I HAD TO GO BUY A CAKE YESTERDAY BECAUSE I FORGOT ON THT 19TH.. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT EVERYBODY WAS VERY FORGIVING AND ATE NEARLY ALL OF IT IN ABOUT 2 HOURS... IT WASW LEMON.. AND THE GENERAL OPINION WAS THAT THE CAKE(S) FOR DOGFEST BE TEH STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE VARIETY... BECAUSE THE ICING IS THICKENED WHIPPED CREAM ( IF THERE IS SUCH A THING)
THICKEND WHIPPED CREAM WOULD BE BUTTER...???
I REMEMBER...WHEN THE KIDS WERE SMALL-- WE HAD A VERY SMALL COW THAT GAVE GALLONS OF EXTREMEY RICH MILK EVERY DAY.. SOME PATIENT OF MY HUSBAND'S GAVE HIM A COW INSTEAD OF PAYING A BILL...
(---ANOTEHR PATIENT GAVE HIM A COFFEE CAN OF GREAT BAKED BEANS EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR YEARS...
THE BEANS WERE LESS LABOR INTENSIVE THAN THE COW... ) WHICH WE-- THE KIDS AND I-- MILKED TWICE A DAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT STAYED OUT OF JANINE'S DOGS AND DONKEY BOOK-- EXCEPT MAYBE THE TIMING WAS BEOFRE TH E BOOK
I COULD DO AN ENTIRE DD ON THE COW PROJECT... BUT WHAT GOT ME GOING WAS "THICKENED WHIP CREAM"
THAT SMALL BROWN COW (?SWISS?) GAVE WHAT AMMOUNTED TO HEAVY CREAM---SO I WOULD PUT A FEW CUPS OF CREAM IN A BELL CANNING JAR AND MAKE THE KIDS SHAKE ITBACK AND FORTH WHILE WATCHING TV-- AND IN AN HOURU THEY WOUL D HAVE BUTTER-- SO I KNOW ABOUT THICKEND WHIPLLED CREAM... IT STARTS TO GET CHUNKS...
THUS ENDETH THE LESSON FOR TEH DAY.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF GETTING OLD--- ONE OF THE MANY... AND THE TECH AGE DOES NOT HELP---IS YOU BEGIN TO EXPECT TO FAIL-- THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM-- COUPLED WITH THE RATIONING OF EXPENDABLE ENERGY.. CASE IN POINT-- I WANTED TO DEFROST A PIECE OF BEEF FOR SUPPER-- SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIMPLE- TURN TH E OVEN ON LOW...--
WELL IT DID NOT GO ON-- USUALLY THAT MEANS SOMEONE TRIEED TO USE THE MICROWAVE AT THE SAME TIME AND TRIPPED THE SURGE CIRCUIT BREAKER- WHICH IS CLEARLY VISABLE BECAUSE IT IS NAILLED TO THE WALL EYE LEVEL.-- LIGHTS WERE RED-- SO I ASSUMED AND POKED IT TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF--AND ON -- AND OFF-- AND ON.-- BY NOW I AM INTO MY TERRIBLE BINARY PROBLEM OF CHOICE OF 2 THINGS ON -OFF . RIGHT- LEFT.. UP- DOWN-- OR NAMES JOE-STEVE-- I HAVE AN AWFUL TIME... ANYWAY-- LINDA K CAME ALONG- LOOKED AT THE MEAQT, SHUT THE DOOR AND POKED THE SURGE STRIP AND IT WORKED...I KNOW SHE HAD THE "POOR CONFUSED AGING SOUL-- DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT SURGE STRIPS ANYMORE." IN HER MIND.... I KNOW SHE DID... I CAN NOT BLAME HER.. BUT I HAD TO INVESTIGATE.
TURNS OUT SOME 18 YEAR OLD ENGINEER FIGURED THAT NO ONE SHOULD OPERATE THE OVEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN.. AND IT WAS THE OPEN DOOR THAT WAS TEH TRIGGER.
IT IS THE SAME GUY THAT CAUSES THE PASSENGER IN A CAR TO BE LOCKED IN TIL THE DRIVER DECIDES THEY SHOLD BE ALLOWED TO OPEN TEH CAR DOOR.
SAME GUY THAT DECIDES WHEN MY HEAD LIGHTS WILL BE ON OR OFF- THE ONLY WAY I AM SURE THEY ARE ON IS TO TURN ON THE WIPER BLADES
I DON'T OFTEN DRIVE AT NIGHT.

AND SO IT GOES-
TODAY I WILL WORK ON THE LONG ARMED BRANCH SAW-- I HAD TO GIVE UP YESTERDAY-- I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO SIGN IN TO MY ACCOUNT AT NORTHERN TOOL... YET...
