used to be an ol rancher down the road from the home ranch, drove a beat to heck ol Chev truck, with a huge sticker in the rear window: "FUBAR" Never figured out whether he meant himself, the Chevy, or both...
Come to think of it, it was rumored his wife ran off with a sheep dip salesman (known as a veterinarian in other parts of the country), and he seemed so happy about that.

Perception...
Marymine is busy doing the moving thing... with which I have been almost no help. I have moved enough (29 times) for a while.
The other day I was over at her old place pestering her and asked where the college student was... "Oh she's gone snow skiing...Yuck!!!" "Good for her...she'll have fun", says I. Which produces the snake eye and a comment to the effect of "I hate being cold"... Well no surprise there, I remember all the pics of her...on the hot beaches at Cubi...among other places. Since we were on the subject of being cold, she produced her new winter coat and asked me if I liked it... ummm... "what is that collar pelt made from...road kill rabbit?" "Funny mom, I remember when you used to wear "the" fur coat to stay warm and to go skiing...and then would pick us up from school with it still on. We were so embarrassed...!"
That is not the way I remember it at all...

Been a while...
Well Yes, it has been a while since I posted anything... what can a granny with permanent BB (bleacher butt) from watching grands, have to say, that will be of import to others? Probably nothing...but that hasn't seemed to stop me so far... So I'll just tell it like it is for me...
Sky (the mini aussie) has gone to live with a young military family in Washington state...it was good karma, and he is were he was Meant to be...
I spent a while looking for another "Gus"Scottie...they are few and far between around here and way too pricey for a granny living on a fixed income and the grace of family. Then, I saw a picture of a little Jack RussellxDoxie that was up for adoption by the local pound. Willie has since come home to live with me. He is a sweet little guy and everyone in the family loves him, travels well, and is the first guy I've slept with since...well never mind that...
Ol Bessie, my ancient suv, was taken to the local mechanics for her smog test. She passed, but...needed $1,000 worth of repairs...some urgently...! Knowing she isn't even worth that much money resale... I contacted a good friend from home, whose sig other is a one man auto repair operation and asked if he would look at her. After he went over her with a fine sense of detail...he came in and said..."she's fine for her age, you've taken good care of her, and keep on doing what you've been doing... Those guys were just trying to sell you a lot of stuff she doesn't need..." This really makes me mad, as the local guys know me, and know I have little extra to spend, yet they try to pull this crap...
The Navy Corpsman and the College Student were home for Thanksgiving. Makes a granny happy to see them expanding their wings and going forth... A twinge, with the Navy man extending his stay in the Navy to save more money for college...as this means he will most likely be redeployed to the 'stan. The rest of the crew are fine and dandy! Where is the time going...we don't have any babies left...sigh...
This fall Marymine and I went to a craft fair and had a great time. She got some awesome metal letters and I got a necklace with a small bird charm & the words Old Soul punched on a flattened spoon. Marymine says it fits me... wasn't that sweet? Then, as I was telling a shopkeeper some tall tale... she stopped me with a laugh and said... "You have the sparkly..est eyes!" I think I heard Marymine in the background...say something along the lines of "OMG...don't be telling her that...she's trouble as it is..." but I could be mistaken...
