  • Bull

    <b>After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it ….up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep ….your mouth shut.–Will Rogers</b><br />n<br />nP.S. This deserved to stand on it's own.

  • Conflict

    I have this, let's say neighbor, who whenever he speaks I literally want to kill him. It has been a long time since I have been around someone who makes me feel this way. They act and speak like they are so superior to everybody around them that it just infuriates me. They look down…

  • Punky

    I wish I could say there was something going on around here exciting, but there isn't. Same old routine of feeding hay to the cows every day. It is always a guessing game if it's going to be muddy or not which means it a guessing game which hay we are using, beyond that the…

  • Life Rules

    I found a highly humourous listing of <a href="http://www.pntonline.com/engine.pl?station=portales&template=storyfull.html&id=6986">life rules</a> targeted for this New Years Day that I wanted to share. The author states "You can use them if you like. Just send cash," so I will try to scrounge up a penny or so and use them.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>

  • The Way It Is, Sometimes It’s Hard

  • Greeting

    Mike K. dropped this in my comments on the <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1423-Over-the-Edge.html">Over the Edge</a> post but it deserved to be up in the main section here. Thanks Mike for the Greeting and I pass it on to all of my readers.<br />n<br />nFrom: Me ("the wishor")<br />n<br />nTo: You ("hereinafter called the wishee") and those you…

  • Santa Tracker

Samuel Butler</b><br />n<br />n<b>UPDATE:</b> While pursuing the Norad tracker site a little more I came across…

  • Didgeridoo

    <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051223/hl_nm/didgeridoo_dc">Want to stop snoring? Try the didgeridoo</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Researchers in Switzerland examined 25 patients who suffered from snoring and moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, both common sleep disorders.<br />n<br />nHalf the group were given daily lessons in playing the didgeridoo, a wind instrument about 1.5 meters (yards) long which originated in northern Australia and…

  • Wondering

    I had an interesting conversation with someone while I was waiting in line to check out. She asked me what I did for a living. I told her I was a mom. She smiled and said no what do you <I>do</I>. I repeated myself and told her I was a mom. She gave me a…

  • Eight Gifts

THE GIFT OF LISTENING: But you really listen. Not interrupting, daydreaming…
