Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - Epilogue

The football team??!

Haven't checked this thread in a while... I haven't been full of nonsense to the point of overflowing lately. I know that's hard to believe.

JD, good to see you here. You so full of nonsense you had to go cross-country?

I'm up to my ears in seeds. If they get any higher, no telling what will grow.

Louise, just add your 2 time zones together and divide by 2. If you have an 'a' and a 'b' I don't know what you get, though. 'a.1'?

Victor, now you're just being silly. I'm so surprised.

Silly Victor!
Gee, thanks, Carrie!!! (smile)

But, there's something special about their harmony that still rings as true today as it did almost 30 years ago.

They're a great group.

Agreed about the Eagles, and Candyce, I meant that as a compliment!

(sorry)

My favorite quote Theodore Roosevelt. We as gardners can relate to this.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Did you do that from memory? I like it. Can I use it?

Although I don't think it is nonsensical enough for this thread. Too relevant and too accurate.

Yes you can use it. You just have to keep it as Theodore Roosevelt as it is his quote.

Of course. But back to stuff that doesn't make sense, LOL.

fat-free butter

Gotcha. Jumbo shrimp.

Go here if you like farmers that are mean to a cow. Then again the cow get the best of him in the end. Let it load and turn your speakers up.

Makes me think of DD#1, who got a part in Oklahoma; she sings "The Farmer and the Cowman Should Be Friends"!

I really like that quotation!! It applies to so many things!

Great quote!

I also like this one, pertaining to gardening, by Kipling:

“Gardens are not made by singing "Oh, how beautiful," and sitting in the shade.”

How about Jefferson: 'Though an old man, I am but a young gardener.'

In this cold weather I feel like and old gardener and an old/cold woman.

well if you just moved off that barren iceberg, you wouldn't feel like that! I'm still wearing shorts to work every day...

I need the cold weather, it gives my back and my hands a break from gardening & just plain upkeep!

I like all of those quotes.......including Jasper quoting himself. LOL

Believe it or not, it actually got cool enough last night to make even me cold! But the fact that I had all the windows wide open, the overhead fan on and a sleeveless nightie on may have had something to do with it! At one point I noticed that my DH had his outerwear fleece jacket on and the covers pulled all the way up over his mouth. LOL Men married to menopausal women deserve some major credits!! And he never complains!! Oh My!

menopausal women...be afraid...be very afraid.... I call my 3 older sisters the Menopause Madames

And what do they call you, Jasper???????? LOL My only claim to fame is that I never went through that temporary insanity or Super Cranky symptom......just lots of hot flashes and some weight gain........neither of which is great!

Just you wait. My claim to fame is that I was in my late thirties and only had a few weeks of hot flashes/other symptoms. But I fear we're again straying into the realm of too much information.

JD - You have it all wrong! Here it's the "frozen tundra". How often do I have to tell you?

Time for a blubber break and then I can let the sled dogs out.

Well my wife is always cold so I look forward to it. The moods and insanity are already there.

V, we think you're funny because we don't have to live with you. I can't imagine how your poor wife puts up with you LOL bet she has a great sense of humor

JD, unfair!! you're welcome here, but that's just plain mean. you'll have to keep your shorts to yourself ;0) I have a huge case of CA envy coming on...gets a little worse with every frozen rose bud

great quotes, everyone! pirl, I especially like the Kipling.

maybe we should all try kipling (verb). it sounds like fun. something to do over the winter.

Night sweats could have melted the frozen tundra here! So glad to be comfortable in pajamas after 15 years of hormonal heat.

Alternative energy source we haven't tapped yet??

Now there's an idea.

A few is considered to be 3-5. Several is 7 and up. Where does that leave 6 ?

afraid of 7

many

And off we go!!!

And awayyyyyy we go..........Jackie Gleason!

Yesterday: on the way to a doctor's appointment, gas was $2.96 / gallon ~
On the way back home, gas was $3.00 / gallon!!!
Discouraging!

Yesterday 305.9 a gallon. Haven't been out today yet.

Ugh!!!

$2.95 last I saw.

Environmentalism is becoming a disease in this country. We can't drill anywhere for fear of offending some group or some elite people.
