Fair enough, Squawk. Even though it’s 1 1/2 hrs. past my bedtime, I’d still like to give you a hurl alert…….
ST #149 Licken the toe jam from between my toes is a small price to pay for three hots and a cot. She has free run of the property, treats, fed on a regular schedule. BTW did I mention she took over our LEATHER love seat a week after it was delivered? Sheesh and they call it a dogs life.… Read more »
What about the family member who is forced to lick Squawkie-tooters toes? Doesn’t she get any credit? Hmmmmm? Does she?????? /tosses Ginger a piece of cheese

You truly are a blessed man. I’m very happy things are working out for you and BSue. Congradulations on your anniversary. May you two be blessed together for many years to come.
Planes collide on JFK airport runway
Figures the culprit airplane is from France.
/cracks beer upside the head of Pyro and crams the sammich up his……….nose???? 😈
Just remember the days when “yellow hair’……waxes…….

wrong vid?
I always ask for a beer with my sammich. It’s harder to adulterize.
mharper Sounds to me like it is YOU who need the prayers — that she stays with you this time for the long long haul. She did not leave me last time. We left each other. Heck our biggest down fall was selfishness, neither of us could get over ourselves. Seriously, we have NO secrets, nothing to hide. Do we… Read more »

This gentle gentile will be praying for your friend.
Oh, and the next time you want us to git in the kitchen and fix you a sammich? Remember this….. You might get an e-lax hot cocoa as well. 🙂
I tend to refrain from social issues, but:
Ouchie! /rubs head….. 🙂

Whatever afflicts your friend, I hope and pray he pulls through.

Had the gays not started pushing for same-sex marriage to be legalized, there would have been no need at all for the countervailing push to prevent that from happening.
That story about the VW “floating” in the mud reminded me of yet another Bug story: Back years ago when I worked for The Major Local Airline, I was only about a mile from the headquarters where I was officed. Waugh Drive was my usual route, and it has a few slight bends in it, one of which is near… Read more »

Boney, looking forward to thanking the good Lord, for answered prayers. Done, shuuug. And ((((HUGS)))).
Boney, about that player piano. What is the status on that?
bone
done.
I am going to sign off for the evening, 4:45 in the wissin am comes real early. Shalom Y’All and Lila Tov.
Boney, done and did.
Oh, my! I run errands for some hours and come back to find I cannot keep track of all the news! Trannies of all types, Bobo back on his confusing “I support this today because nobody else likes it” kinda thing, it seems that Hammy and Squawk are playing tag or something, Houston gets b-slapped by the administration (probably because… Read more »
Thanks Dave, he needs all the help he can get, This will be, if it is the big C, the 2nd metastasy.
#127 Bonecrusher, Prayers on the way.
ST I sure there’s plenty of folk in Houston County Lake area that would be happy to donate some of the foam/ship fragments from The Columbia disaster. Ya’ know, it’s kinda weird, I live in Webster, work at the Rocket Ranch and have a deer lease in east Texas that some of the debris fell on, seems a little strange… Read more »
Please pray fro my friend, Kevin. He is really a wonderful guy and the last few years he has been going through “JOB-like” trials. That wissin C word may have reappeared; please pray for complete DIVINE HEALING.
Thanks

In the flesh, babeh. In the flesh.
Yeppers. I say, “Leave it in the states hands.” The people of Texas have spoken. One small step for mankind. #111 SuperDave: Simmer down, sporty. Houston isn’t a world class city yet. In time, we’ll get a world class museum. Besides the 2 seats that we’re getting for the museum, I sure there’s plenty of folk in Houston County Lake… Read more »
That’s one a them MMA rastlers, right? 😉
Why? I think wagonburner looks good in blue, yellowgold, and red.

I’ll chip $3.50 to get it started. We can’t be living in a classless world city now can we?
‘I unzip the cushions and snack on the foam inside. And once I start I just can’t stop. ‘But now doctors have told me that if I carry on, my addiction will kill me.’ Pica is a disorder found most commonly in toddlers and pregnant women who lack certain nutrients, causing them to crave non-nutritive substances like chalk, coins, batteries… Read more »
#98 – Squawk – If we spent that $3.5 million would that make us world class. That’s a pretty cheap price for world class if it would work to achieve that lofty status.
bob #87 (and,well, just about all your posts today)
You do realize that you are advocating taking away the voice of the people, no? Weather from voting directly on issues (which I generally do not like) or through their elected representatives, you advocate their silence when establishing laws and policies.
First car, 1964 GTO with a Catalina 2+2 421 tri-power bored out to 428. Power was not a problem. Stopping on a single master manual four wheel drum brake system was. I went through a lot of stop signs, any paved surface was a 1/4 mile back then. Muncie four speed rock crusher, sounded just like this on the two… Read more »

It’s a blog. How do you know Super Dave is wearing oants when he comments?
Well I can’t be it. I already reached home base.
Well i think so
She understands what forgiveness is. She has learned that tolerating me does not work. We let each other be the person God created.
Oh yeah and prayers, lots and lots of prayers.
OK, This would be my unbiased opinion about the Shuttles, yes I said unbiased, based on facts. In the order of priority; #1 The Smithsonian, our country’s Museum, a no brainer. #2 Johnson Space Center, THE “Manned Space Center”, home to “Mission Control”, all the support engineers and technicians, not to mention all the astronauts and their families. #3 Kennedy… Read more »
Bunsonburner I had a girlfriend while in Germany in between marriages. We ummmm how you say were fruitful and multiplied. Much to my shame I lost touch with here for several years. She tracked me down after 25 years. Long story short God restored me to my wife, God restored my daughter to me, her Mom and BSue are best… Read more »
#104 squawk
BSue is a saint. How that poor woman tolerates you is beyond earthly knowing. She always has my prayers of only for that.
#105
How’d you come to have a daughter that wasn’t a US citizen already?
#104 I’m proud of you. Please relay my sympathies to Bsue. 😉
#61 At least we get to keep the Amusement Park that NASA has become.
Simple
Yes, I agree you are Simple,…
#65 Hambone If I’m going to spend the money I’d rather have a manual transmission.
You’re Dern Tootin’ a Sporty Car
needshas to have a manual tranny. 😉Overall, elections are a good thing, but they don’t substantiate the existence of any kind of monolithic “society” at all. Nor do they justify an omnipotent government at the will of a simple majority. An “aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community” will never agree on everything. That’s pretty much human nature. Hence the need,… Read more »
AND Number one daughter is finalizing paperwork for American citizenship. She is a Reagan Conservative.
BTW y’all BSue needs your prayers. We are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary today. Had she and I stayed married the first time we would be celebrating 36 years.
Whaddaya mean i am it? I am always it. Why can’t you or someone else be it? I was it a week ago. Someone must have skipped their turn being it. I don’t wanna be it.
squawk – tag. You’re it.
