FROST ON THE GYPSIES, Hello Fall

Iknow what you mean. I would have to hibernate like an old bear until spring.

YOU DONT MEAN YOU HAVE REPLACED THE LOPPERS AND SHEARS TO BE A GUN TOTEN MAMMA? We are going to have to check you for fever.

see the dork came over and said they were getting ready for deer hunting, and he had to get ammo, I asked what kind of gun he had and what ammo he was getting, He said he had a Carcano 6.5 and he was gonna go get some plain old 22 shells, I said plain old 22 shells won't work in that you have to have 22 long rifle shells, and here in illinois you can't hunt deer with that gun, only turkey...I use to own one and hunt all the time...so I had to show him he was being an idiot

gotta post something or I'll lose track of you all! momma's here, it's Saturday. Going for those Turner Classic Movies on demand!

See you later!

Angela cooked 3 cakes and brownies last night. I should have taken a picture... she cleaned up, but it's not the same. Still have flour on my pants!

LOL Julie I posted on your passie by the way

Am Iall alone again?

You tell him Trina. Hey Smiley.

What was the weapons fact Trina?

Good to stick to your guns; I like the silent type.

Every one must be doing some thing. Guess I'm forced to go clean house. Not that I want to. See yall in a while.

oooh very nice Dave! I have a very nice blow dart gun, But the carcano is a bolt action rifle, I like going target practice with it and giving it to the guys who think a little gal like me can't fire it just to watch the recoil nock em on thier butts cause they aren't expecting it, my step dad has mine right now cause the stock is broken, he's makingme a new stock for it, that and he doesn't trust my step son....however I do have my little throw away 22 so I can take a pic of it and the blow dart gun if ya wanna see em

My ex broke the arms off and I still don't know how he did it

Amazing how many posts can go by while I try to load just one photo!

Trina is it not allowed to use a 22 for deer because the 22 may leave the deer wounded rather than take 'em down?

No, Dave. We haven't started the leaf change cycle yet...should start seeing some change in the next few days. Temp has to drop below 55 at night to start getting the color here.

Yeah pretty much, some states do allow it, but some 22's just aren't allowed, in this case this particular brand of rifle has some bad history with malfunctions, mainly cause some people don't know how to clean thier guns, but some are also mechanical issues, and since most new hunters (meaning ages 6 to 13) use the smaller weapons, they banned this particular rifle from being used for deer

see here's my hunting weapon of choice, but I wouldn't suggest it for amatuer use

ok mander is done gotta go get here BRB

I had a friend on Maui that used to make blow-guns. They can sink a dart into a hunk of wood, amazingly deep!

The Cobra (cross-bow) is for short distances as it isn't very accurate, but it does have 80 lbs behind it.

This Tom-Kat is for long distance accuracy.

Hey Moon! Trina are you and Dave comparing arsenals? I would at least keep one of them handy. Trina didn't you say the 15 year old was like a Jr.Hannibal Lecter.

Yes we are Dixie...LOL

here is the one I keep on hand at all times....definately for close up only

Jr. Hannibal Lector? Sounds like a job for Military School; a good source of discipline for the daily diet.

Should do the trick.

YEP. A boot camp from hell.

yeah Dave he has some serious issues....I would LOVE to send him to military school, personally I think they all need to go, especially since (now Keep in mind Amanda, Kenny and Austin are all in Jr. High) 5 kids got busted for drugs at school on friday, and the serious lack of education in this school district ( I spent my summer teaching his 2 youngest to read even though they are in 6th & 8th) but we just can't afford 4 grand a month for one let alone 4

and Dave is this the same as the other Orchid I got?

Well I'm off again, Going over to my daughter's. So she and son in law can go to dinner with a few of their friends.Daughter's husband is an EMT, and fire fighter. They don't get a lot of time together. So I volunteered to keep the little ones. Hope the forums not shot full of holes by the time I get back. LOL

but Dixie I like my weapons, and trust me that little thing is pretty effective when unwanted people show up at 3 am pounding on your door....they tend to get the point real fast, and sober up real quick! LOL

man yall are missing it! Watching animal planet. Girraffs fightin, a neglected dog had 60 rocks in his stomach, aman fell overboard right in the middle of a schooll of sharks, a dog went over a snow cliff and survived Whew I'm pumped lol Break is up gonna go watch raging bulls in rodeo. Oh and horses got caught in mountain fire. And a leopard jumped in the
rangers truck window and tried to mall him Cool

flowers your as twisted as I am but I mostly watch HGTV or sports

Hi everyone!!! Some very interesting talk!

JJ, is your GS going to be a devil this year? You have to take a photo of that costume! He really wasn't scuba diving in the dog's water, was he? You must have a very big dog!

Moon, have you selected a photo to put in the contest? The one above is nice.

Dave, talking about leafmould (and they spell it a zillion ways!), I had coffee grounds from Starbucks that I hadn't used in about a month or more. When I opened the bag, there was a light greenish-aqua color of mold! I threw it out. But if that happens again, should I use it or not???

Since your are a vegetarian and don't hunt for animals, how do you use your weapons?
Also, cool thin man!!! Was his right arm over on his left side?

Trina, when you get back, take a photo of your wonderful seed file. By the way, what grade did Austin get on his homework that you did?

What did the school do when they found all 5 of the kids with drugs? Are they able to read now?

That is an amazing orchid!! I don't recall you showing us one like that before. Are those the ones you got from Walmart?

You sure know how to stand your ground both verbally and literally!!!

I repotted moonshine. Everytime I repot it I loose some leaves. I read that only non-varigated leaves can be propagated. But I don't recall being successful in rooting just a leaf.

I think that makes me about caught up with you all!!

Hello everyone. Gosh Trina, you know your weapon's gal.

Flower's, is it cold in your part of the world? It is here........ugg

Have a good evening Dixie.

Can you show the whole plant Trina, with fully opened flowers?

Hey Dave, what kind of tips do you use on your arrows?

and in case anyone was wondering (but I don't think you were) My little pea shooter there is always loaded and under my pillow, 22 hollow points, cause if you have to pull it out then your life is in jeopardy and you better be able to live with decision to shoot to kill.....

I was always taught never to point at a human, unless your life or family are in danger, and you better be ready to use it.

and you only use them on animals for food, never take more than you can eat, period!

Hey Rachel, what's the temperature there?

Not a vegetarian Carol, but I don't eat meat too often; mostly fish.

The weapons are for varmints, wild pigs & dogs, and protection from bad people. There are quite a number of drug addicts in the area that like to steal things.

ok whole plant

I have nothing against hunting, but am proud to say these hands have never held a gun.

Thanks for the info on the passy Trina. Oh! .. and Mr. Mailman brought me a present right in the middle of 'The Time Machine'. Gotta go see what it is......

all 5 students were arrested and expelled, being sent to a special school, unfortunately the same "special" school they sent Blake to for harrassing the girls at school

Venice My seed file is an antique Postmasters table all those little drawers work perfectly, I have tried to take pictures 5 times today but I can't get them to turn out, the room and the desk are too dark all I Keep getting is the brass handles...I'm not a good picture taker!

this is as open as any of the blooms get Dave.

Hiya Rachel! Didn't see ya come in!

Sorry Rachael was watching killer bees. Snowball effect one sting and they all attacked. Weather is cold here,have the logs kicking You stay warm gonna go watch the elephants run wild in a restaurant.

like my lamp? Mom made it about 30 years ago.

I sure hope they survived the trip!

I got my new book on Cacti, so maybe I won't kill my seedlings, or have to bug dave so much about them

And Venice Austin got an A, he's the only student who actually baked something instead of going to the store and purchasing something premade

Dave these roots are all dried up and flat should I trim them off or repot this Orchid and make sure they get down in the bark stuff too?

In England they used to put all the troublemakers in art school. That's where a lot of rock n' roll musicians came from.

Beautiful lamp smileymom. Hi Venice. 45F here right now Dave.

Your lamp is beautiful Julie!
