COME AND GET IT GUYS
















WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN I WOULD GO DOWN AND SMOKE A CIGARETTE I WOULD TAKE SOME PEANUTS WITH ME AND FEED THE SQUIRELS. THEY WERE SO KEWL. THEY WOULD TAKE THE PEANUTS RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HAND AND SOME OF THEM WERE SO BRAVE THEY WOULD CRAWL RIGHT UP YOUR PANT LEG AND TAKE THE PEANUTS OUT OF YOUR HAND. TODAY I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A CONSULTATION ON MY THYROID AND TO GET SOME XRAYS TAKEN AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. WELL IN BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS I BOUGHT SOME PEANUTS AND WENT OUT AND FED THE SQUIRRELS. I WORE SHORTS TODAY SO THERE WAS NO CRAWLING UP THE SIDE OF MY LEG LOL. IT WAS CUTE THEY WERE TAKING THE NUTS OUT OF MY HAND AND RUNNING TO THE BUSHES AND HIDING THEM OR GOING OUT IN THE GRASS AND BURYING THEM THERE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME PICTURES WITH MY PHONE I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM.

REUNITED WITH AN OLD FRIEND

IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER 18 YEARS SINCE I HAVE SEEN MY DEAR FRIEND LARRY. I WAS LIVING IN MARYLAND AT THE TIME WE MET. I MET HIM WHEN HE WAS DRIVING A CAB. HE PICKED UP A FRIEND OF MINE AND I ONE NIGHT. WE SOON BECAME VERY GOOD AND VERY CLOSE FRIENDS. HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND I FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT HIM. AFTER MY BREAK UP WITH MY PARTNER WHO WAS ALSO NAMED LARRY I MOVED IN WITH HIM AND HIS GIRLFRIEND. EVENTUALY I CAME BACK TO NEVADA TO BE WITH MY FAMILY AND LEFT MY LIFE BEHIND IN MARYLAND. WHEN I GOT TO NEVADA I KEPT IN CONTACT WITH LARRY AND THEN I LOST CONTACT. FOR YEARS I HAVE TRIED TO LOCATE HIM ON THE INTERNET BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT. THE OTHER NIGHT I GOT AN EMAIL SAYING HI ROB THIS IS LARRY. PLEASE CALL ME. HE TO HAD BEEN TRYING TO FIND ME FOR YEARS. AND FINALLY HE DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND STUMBLED ON TO MY BLOG. THIS IS HOW HE GOT MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND WAS ABLE TO CONTACT ME. LAST NIGHT I CALLED HIM AND WE TALKED FOR OVER 2 HOURS. IT WAS AWESOME. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD VERY DEEP FEELINGS FOR LARRY AND I AM GLAD WE HAVE BEEN REUNITED. HE GETS TO TRAVEL OFTEN AND GETS TO COME TO IDAHO SOMETIMES WITH HIS JOB. I HOPE IT IS SOON. I HAVE REALLY MISSED HIM AND AM EXCITED WITH ANTICAPATION FOR THE DAY THAT HE GETS TO COME TO IDAHO. HE LIKE KELLY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. I AM SO VERY THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE BEEN REUNITED LARRY AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.

A ROAD TRIP


ON FRIDAY I MADE A DECISION THAT IT WAS TIME TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP. THINGS HAVE BEEN VERY HECKTIC HERE AT WORK AND A LITTLE STRESSFUL SOMETIMES. SO YESTERDAY A FRIEND OF MINE AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GO TO SINCE I MOVED HERE. IT WAS ABOUT A 3 HOUR DRIVE. PLUS I WANTED TO SEE WHAT MY NEW TRUCK DID OUT ON THE OPEN ROAD. IT DID GREAT. WE DECIDED TO STOP AT A MOM AND POP DINER ON THE WAY FOR SOME BISCUITS AND GRAVY. SO WE STOPPED IN SNOWVILLE UTAH. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM IT WAS GREAT. WE WENT TO A PLACE CALLED LAGOON. I LOVE AMUSEMENT PARKS AND THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THIS ONE WAS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD. THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AMUSMENT PARKS IN THE COUNTRY. IT WAS BUILT IN 1858. MAN WHAT AN AWESOME DAY. I EVEN WON A COUPLE OF STUFFED ANIMALS LOL. SOME OF MY PICTURES DID NOT COME OUT SO SOME OF THE FOLLOWING POSTS HAVE PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE RIDES LOOKED LIKE. ENJOY ALL THE POSTS I HAD AN AWESOME DAY

THE END TO A PERFECT DAY




THE ULTIMATE END TO A PERFECT DAY WAS THE CATAPULT. IT WAS JUST WHAT IT SAYS. THEY PUT YOU IN A SPHERE ATTACHED TO CABLES AND A MAGNET RUN BY SPRINGS. WHEN THEY LET THIS SPHERE GO IT IS SHOT 250 FEET INTO THE AIR LIKE A BULLET. IT WAS AWESOME. IT IS KIND OF LIKE REVERSE BUNJI JUMPING. YOU GO WAY UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH BACK UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH. WELL YOU GET THE PICTURE. I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THIS RIDE BECAUSE LIKE THE SKY COASTER IT WAS AN EXTRA FEE BUT AS I WALKED BY IT WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SORRY THAT YOU DID NOT DO IT.I HAD A GREAT DAY.

A LETTER TO MUM AND DAD

THIS IS A LETTER FORM AN AUSTRALIAN SOILDER TO THEIR MUM AND DAD

Dear Mum & Dad,I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum's bum and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of piss!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer. I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.




Your loving daughter,Sheila

TOO FUNNY

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife.. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest.. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.. .? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dumbass,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and .. . HOLY COW . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE !!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.. A three second burst would be considered conservative? IT HURT !!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
P.S... My wife, who can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!
If you think education is difficult, try being stupid !!!
