GETTING PINCHED BY A TOILET SEAT SEEMS TO BE MY LOT IN LIFE--  I HAVE NO IDEA HOW A FRACTURED MY TIOLET SEAT ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO..   AND HOW PAINFUL THAT WAS !!    IT WAS REMEDIED 84% BY SOME PURPLE DUCT TAPE-- BUT LAST WEEK  I DECIDED TIME HAD COME TO SPLURGE AND BUY A NEW ONE-  THERE WERE ONLY 2 KINDS  THAT I KNEW OF -- ROUND AND ELONGATED- BUT As  i studied teh selection, i found someone had invented a bangless toilet seat--just in case any of teh males in the household  had not graduated from  Lid Lowering 101....  this new seat does  not bang when dropped... but it also does not quite fit  -- if i am not very careful to approach it  while listing to starboard,  it pinches. i really don't want all you good people to start sending me toilet seats, like you did the 59 bird houses.  there is not a lot of uses for extra toilet seats...   i will  eventually go get another pinchless one....

actually i already have an extra --- it hANGS OVER LINDA"S HEAD IN THE OFFICE -  IT IS A NICE OAk with the carving of a great dane on it...   far too nice to be hidden away in the "water closet"  - so i hung it in the office.
When linda was new here, she commented on what a nice carving it was and did not believe me when i told her it was really a toilet seat....

it was the first of many learning experiences for LINDA around here.. from city life to ......  crazy acres. 
last night linda and bud  were closing up the guinnea hens when bud picked up a baby hen to raise it to the loft-- and momma hen did not approve attacking his head-  linda has ceased to be shocked at this kind of thing.  she hqs come a long way !!

i had several emails saying the 3.31 postage got teh calendars delivered....at least i have not heard of anyone being charged extra....
My calendar came today to Indiana postmarked from Groveland MA. Postage paid was $3.31 and I didn't owe anything for it. You were hoping nobody had to pay extra for it and as said, I didn't.
****
and then  teh cp fact check about hersheys...- an interesting read--- including teh ceo gettiNg $47 million to move out 6000 jobs,  a guy falling  into and being killed in a vat of choclolaTE KISSES  IN MEXICO-- ALSO A RECALL OF KISSES BECAUSE OF SALMONELLA  --HOW DID WE MISS ALL THAT NEWS????
That’s already happened in Hershey, which saw the jobs at Hershey East move to Mexico, 
FYI,  some still made in USA, but they continue cutting back production here.
