I don't mind being my age, I know more and can do more things than when I was younger. No regrets.
CHOCOLATE BASIL 2012
Well, I guess that's what I meant....I don't feel old...although I think sometimes my family wishes I'd "act my age" LOL..I just tell them to work harder at keeping up.
LOL I like that answer!!
I think age is one of those Einsteinian relativity things. Kay's always telling me to "grow up," but I've been christened Grandpa by fellow players on my online game where the average age is probably about 25. I only turned 50 a couple months ago! As Sansai is always saying. "I'm soooo confused!
VORT, you and Squatch really should have taken out a patent on dirt. Everyone I know has some. The two of you might want to avoid the cleaning and organizing threads here. Don't think your invention is very popular there. (Jim)
Hey! Hey! Hey! I got you all beat. I'm a proud 72. I prefer to be called a sweet lil ole lady. One that is a perfect lady at all times.One that does nothing but bake cookies and other goodies.Where did I PUT THAT ARSENIC? I love for people to help me across the street(even when I don't want to go.Cause there is always someone to help me back across,and I need my exersize.)
There are some people who think they can take advantage of lil ole ladies.It is always so much fun to look someone in the eye and say "Sucker! Just who are you trying to kid?!!"
Unfortunately, I’m not able to pull off “sweet lil ole lady.” The "ole lady" part has come naturally and if I try REAL hard I can do “sweet.” I can't squeeze myself into "lil" though, no matter how much weight I lose. (I'm 6' tall. Well, closer to 5'11" these days. I think I'm shrinking. But, I don't foresee myself ever shrinking enough to qualify as "lil.") The “witchy old crone” role appears to be the only stereotype open to tall, hawk-face women. I still have a couple of years to go before the government officially classifies me as old. That’s good. It gives me time to work on my cackle. k*
I see myself as “the crazy old cat lady” 40 years down the line.
Little Travis is a big fan of dirt. One of his favorite books is “The Dirt on Dirt” and he is always hoping to dig up one of those 4+ foot earthworms mentioned in the book. None of us have the heart to tell him those only live in Australia. ~N~
I am very proud those 4ft worms live in OZ. I dig worms for flowerbeds and fishing.Anything 4ft says snake and I'm out of there.
Kay, don't put yourself down(pun intended) You are classified as regal. Anyway after 5 minutes, no one classifies me as a lady. LOL
I am a birthday-cake-hat short of being an old cat lady, lol.
At Squatch's last birthday party he drank a barrel of Tequila that had 4 1/2 foot worm in the bottom.
They both had fun.
"Regal." I like that. It is usually paired with 'dignified" as in "a regal and dignified older woman." The dignified thing could give me trouble, but itt can't be any harder than "sweet" to pull off convincingly.
Nadine has dogs, not cats, but she has plenty of time to change that.
What I am curious about is what eats those giant Aussie worms. They can't all end up in barrels of Tequila. k*
To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.
Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home.
I started to cry when I thought of you.
Then it dawned on me ... oh, crap ...
I'll see you on the bus!
ROFLOL
Ditto. :D
Vort...you and Squatch will be sitting on the front seat...Save me a spot...
Don't leave me guys!!! My generation REALLY ain't ready to be in charge yet. Gardening is one pursuit where being old is an asset. All gardeners...off the bus. ~N~
Yes m'am
Your probably right, Celene. Squatch’s homemade blue agave hooch with Texas diamond-back rattler in place of the worms sounds more likely. America does have its very own giant earthworm but he lives in Washington and Idaho. Not what I think of as tequila country. Driloleirus americanus sightings are even more rare than Sasquatch sightings. Hm-m-m, you don’t suppose Squatch is the REASON giant Palouse earthworms are so rare? He did live in that part of the country. (Jim)
Jim------shhhhhhhhhh---Can Squatch have no secrets?
Well--it never ceases to amaze me why it is that no one wants Chocolate Basil Plants.

Not one single application has been received.
Seems words gotten out that this "offer" is from some shady character known for is scams.......
mjs--you should be ashamed--I saw Squatch reading your message and he actually had a tear running down his cheek.
That tear was probably from laughing to hard..........
Well--come to think of it he was eating a raw onion at the time.

Hypothetacally speaking, how many CB plants do you think Vort would part with if someone kidnapped Squatch and demanded a ransom?
He'd give you the whole stash if you promised to keep him.
Gotta warn you though--he smells kinda rough.
mjs is still fumigating her 'Ol Dodge after that Christmas encounter.
Really, poor OL Dodge came home and chased down a skunk, wallered in the mud, then it took a whole bottle of Dawn to wash her down and still smells a bit peculiar. Refused to go to one of those fancy dancey car wash places tho, no way was she coming home with her rims painted pink, ribbons on her antennae and bows on her "Ram" tail light covers.
AND!!!!!!!!
Ol Dodge previously smelled like a new Corvette???????
Squatch told me it smelled more like a swamp buggy--Loch Nestle backed him up.
HA..the swamp smell came from Squatch too...he's been tromping around out there hiding the Chocolate Basil..
Ol Dodge previously smelled like Citrus Tree's...with a hint of Chocolate...ya know Oranges and Chocolate go well together.
Hm-m-m,orange chocolate basil biscotti?
The bellowing of bull gators, the screams of swamp cats, the smell of damp rotting vegetation, the shy splashes of manatee, the deafening roar of air boats, the pretty blinking lights of smugglers going about their nighttime business . You guys have done gone and made me homesick. You know Squatch should get the "worms" for his homemade hootch from the Everglades. He would be doing us all a favor. But, I guess he is afraid of being in The Ole Dodge's backyard. k*

Great description kudzu--have experienced all of that except "in my day" there were no smugglers.
Squatch has Loch Nestle "down there" on patrol.
Ain't no Swatch or Lochie ever been sceered of no Ol Dodge. Just look at the teeth marks in the Ol Dodge.
Have to admit though that Ol Dodge is almost as tough as mjs.
I think those hunters claims that they are looking for invasive pythons is a cover story. They are really looking for where Squatch hid the CB. ~N~
I think Squatch would eat pythons. In tequila. With a chiffonade of CB.
Squatch might enjoy a pickled python, but I wouldn’t advise that renowned wetland delicacy, Gator Tails. K talked me into ordering deep fried gator tails at a restaurant in Everglade City. It looked like chicken nuggets. No problem there. It tasted okay. No problem there. But, I chewed it and I chewed it and I chewed it some more. After chewing for about 5 minutes, it could be swallowed. With only the one tooth, it is something I would suggest Squatch pass on. Skip the reptile aft appendages and go for that Key Lime Pie! (Jim)
I'm with you on the key lime pie ;) CB or no, I think Squatch would love that!
Key Lime pie is the best !!! But can you imagine...topped with Shaved Chocolate Basil Chips....ummm yum, I may actually have to break out the pie pans.
Squatch Sez:
Never, ever, ever, ever--underestimate what 1 single Squatch tooth can can do to a pickled python.
Or an "Ol Dodge.
Or a CB smothered habanero pepper.
General Squatch's quote of the day:
"Do the best you can with what you've got."
Even if it's 1 tooth.
A Key Lime Pie has no chance of survival.
