JLSleather Report post Posted June 28, 2017 There's a line forming for the bird feeder?@!@#$! Taken from the second floor deck over the back yard ... this guy waiting his turn while his buddy raids the bird seed. Two dogs at the patio door didn't worry him one bit ...

LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted July 17, 2017 Go on..... you can do it. The kitchen is the place where the smell of food comes from.............

RockyAussie Report post Posted July 18, 2017 Well I must say this is somewhat disconcerting. Most members I think come here to get some assistance and sometimes to help people with a problem. Invalid interjections aside and before the moderators can shut this down, JLS I have given this some serious thought and have come up with a few hopefully helpful suggestions. That little spoon used for getting into those tighter areas when ya moulding THEY call it a T spoon and is somewhat misnamed as its really a coffee and sugar spoon when not in the workshop. Now here's a tip worth noting - If after making up a cuppa n tasting you find that your eye is suddenly hurting, you have to remember to take the spoon out of the cup first. Oh and dont forget that it must be thoroughly stirred first. Ya coffee I mean. Now I must admit I have been getting a little inpatient of late and what I am trying to work out is how can I teach mine to match up my socks???? Over 30 years married now and I still cant work that out I already know not to say anything after 4 as its getting to close too dinner by then. Any help would be most appreciated. Seriously Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 Yeah, the sock thing is a mystery. When I get dressed in the dark, then around noon realize that one is brown and one is black, I think back to my sock matcher did it in the daylight. ??? Good thing I wear my pants a little long to cover an ankle holster. I don't mind the holster peeking out occasionally, but mis-matched socks?!?!? Never!

Constabulary Report post Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Build a feeder for the squirrels so they no longer raid the bird feeder - thats like buying a car for the wife so she no longer takes yours Regarding making coffee - buy some instant coffee - boil some water and combine these two things (but be care full don´t overdose it - meaning do not take too much instant coffee powder - when the mixture looks muddy you have not enough water) - but better check youtube - you may find some tutorial Videos of how to combine instant coffee and hot (boiled) water. But don´t hurt your self - better ask google first. If you already hurt your self - please don´t pull the water company to court because they did not tell you hat hot water is hot. regarding socks - buy just black socks in same size and same material - thats the secret. I have more life hacks but I don´t think thats probably the right place here. Oh - BTW - dogs often do what the leader of the pack thought them. Probably opening the door for the dogs could have solved the problem - though I´m not sure... Edited July 18, 2017 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 May I interject here. You can, if pushed, use an 'egg' spoon. These are specially designed for eating your runny egg and soldiers. But they can be used for coffee, just don't let the egg police see you. As to socks, my free time is too precious for sock matching. The husband's socks are also black, so that even he can manage to match them up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted July 18, 2017 #!@$!~@~@@#$!!! Okay, getting over and around some things. Today, we're back on the junk mail. This time it's American Express and State Farm Insurance. I'm not a member of either, and I've previously declined multiple offers from both. I put a board on the side of the bird stand for the squirrels to sit. Told teh wife keep ONE car. Decide teh one you like best, sell the other. We aint a car lot. I have socks. They're all white. And no colored strip at the top, causing them not to match. They ALL match. Now, to send that State Farm guy some interesting offers from American Express... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best hope she don't sell the new one at a big discount to the feller down the road... Knew a story of a soon to be divorced wife that sold her hubbie's Porsche for $1 while it was still community property... Better hide th' stitcher if n ya fine j-ya-sef in a sim'lar sit-che-ation.

Back in teh 70's when I was a kid, I saw my Uncle Tom sell 6 of his 7 Cadillacs for $1 plus a glass of beer each. Getting divorced, didn't like her one bit. So he went to the saloon with the titles -- told everybody you could buy a car for a dollar. One guy said 'yer drunk', and Thomas told him yes i am, but I DO have a title and you CAN buy one for $1 (and one bottle). He had one for each day of the week, and sold 6 of them in a day. When I asked why, he said he didn't want that #$!@#!$%!@ to end up with ''em! Uncle Thomas had some money - didn't really need them --- but apparently had some issues as well REALLY REALLY didn't like people telling him what he can or can't do with his money.

He was to buy some spare parts kept in the trunk. By the time I got home and told police guy was across the border Junk mail - dunno if this would work for you; I pack up the junk mail, with old newspapers and stuff and mail it to the company. Only I don't pay the postage. I mark it 'Urgent papers inside' so the company feels compelled to receive it, thus having to pay the mailing charges. [return address is that of the company] I include a note; 'you stop sending me your carp and I'll stop sending you mine'. Works every time sock; yup, all black socks for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man, I just don't miss those days at all! I've got one of those, took years to train him out of those bad habits, but going back to the wonderful single life was very tempting. As to divorce, the first hubby was welcome to the lot, which wasn't much, just happy to leave him to it. Junk mail? Tedious waste of a tree. Unsolicited phone calls selling me stuff? Old ARP whistle kept by phone if they get too persistant, or immediate 'go to' if they are trying to sell double glazing/insulation. One question though. Even if all the socks are black, how come there is still an odd sock when emptying the washing machine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But better you just find unknown socks you probably can associate with someone living in your house instead of finding other parts of underwear that you cannot associate with someone living in your house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
