In my travels around the internet, I find some interesting things. I came across this site and thought “What a cool idea!” Of course, my back porch would have to be screened in, because anything with six legs seems to see me as lunch. Just looking at the beds relaxed me.
It got me thinking about swinging, so I exercised a search on “swinging”. Once I got past all the scuzzy sites, I found interesting ones:
Competitve swinging (and no, it doesn’t involve married couples): I never thought of swinging as a competitive thing, but okay. Different strokes, and all that.
Then there’s the awesome video of the handbag swinging granny foiling a robbery. Get her a nice cup of tea, folks!
And then there’s those crazy, swinging animals!
And corgis!
And pugs, too!
And for all you cat lovers – or haters – here’s one for you as well:
So, even though it’s hump day, why don’t you go swinging instead? Reduce your stress! Stick your feet out and kick someone (that always reduces my stress, anyway.) Laugh a little. Laugh a lot! Lean back and make yourself dizzy!

As usual, we’re right on the edge of the good stuff and missed the real rain as it passed slightly to the west. What a light show most of the evening after 8 though, and the thunder. Now we have some very light rain that wets the exposed areas free of tree leaves and softly taps on the garden room… Read more »
We used to have a pound mutt that was guesstimated to be part Rottweiler, part Blue Heeler. Rock was a great dog, but scared to death of lightning. Hubby called me one morning and told me I’d need to pick up Rock and take him to the vet, as he had damaged himself during the night. We’d had a big… Read more »
Sure.
She’s not a cat. 😉
Chihuahuas can be very timid, or outrageously bold for their tiny size. Can you say something nice about her?
I had a golden retriever that would try to hide under a water bed. That was some years ago. My border collie can fit into some tight spaces if the lightning is really bad.
Stopped here for now.
out
It’s a tall weasel. 4lb of chihuahua fury we somehow got stuck with from the MiL.
Being afraid is one thing, but this “dog” will burrow into the back of a closet at the first hint of thunder.
#70 Pyro Gotta ask: What type of “dog” do you have? Are real dogs not expected to be afraid of thunder? We have a scaredy cat who was rescued from a strip center parking lot about 6 yrs ago with a severely injured tail. She is afraid of almost any noise. Been known to run and hide when she hears… Read more »
We are turning into a Gaia cult…
Been getting light but steady rain for over 30 mins. No thunder heard or lightning visible out my front window as I was watching TV.
We got a little soaking and light show also. What is it with the power this summer, any hint of a storm it goes out.
Power back on for now.
Raining again, I don’t know how long it’s been doing it, but it’s doing it.
🙂
Hey, the wind is picking up and I hear thunder boomers coming from the north! Clear Lake my get a few drops. 😀
Rain tapering off.
Power is out.
Lots of really cool and close lightning.
I went out to do the rest of my allowed watering after 8 pm but not only is it dark, there is a ferocious wind whipping up the trees. I didn’t want to stay out under stressed trees that are being whipped around, so left some sprinklers going and came back inside. There is some rain chance for me visible… Read more »
We lost power here in Copperfield lost of Lightning but no rain yet. First drops.starting now
Texanadian #7;
Indeed. And don’t forget “The Forgotten Man”.
In the suburbs of Cypress, the skies are black and the power can’t decide if it wants to stay on. Lots of lightning & thunder.
Our “dog” is trying to find a place where she can hide.
Pretty much stopped now, the trees will drip for some time creating the illusion of falling rain. Just enough that now I will have to cut the grass for the second time this summer.
Work, work, work…
Still raining, but starting to taper off. 🙁
Texanadian has won the lottery today. 🙂
Thunder and lightning in deep Waller county. The rain has just started. My trophy dog is trying to get under the soles of my feet. 🙂
#51 ST People, if you’re going to blow your brains out, please do it outside. Someone has to clean that crap up. It took CSI 8 days to determine suicide. Duuuuuh. Dang Dammit Sugar, was it someone that you knew? A buddy of mine did that twice, first time, back in the late 60’s the guy that lived next door… Read more »

I watched the Chabot thing on the approved channel (thanks, Katfishy!). That POS Chabot needs to be GONE ASAP. I don’t think Texans would have surrendered their cameras.
#61 mh42
They’re all already dead, so what difference does it make?
#58 katfish
Obviously The Man has gotten to hammie & the sarge to turn them away from the formidable Mr Jones. Jones has told us many times of how the govt has sent its agents out to suppress the rights of us citizens.
It’s a conspiracy dude!
#51 ST
New job? How does a terrorist pass the background check for a job like that? 🙂
The guy is a deranged, evil, douche bag bastard. Well, since Hammie sed it……pretty much my, opinion. And the evil deranged douche bag bastard will make money off the hits—which it why he posts most of the bat shizzle stuff. Yeppers. Pretty much what broke me’an Daniels James’ lovefest up. I still lubs him and all, and we share a… Read more »

Michael Bloomberg needs to have his striped pants shoved down his throat.
#57 – once more in Engrish?
I see that The Man has gotten to you two.
Katfish – I’m not disputing the validity of the story or standing up for the idiot congressman. I simply do not want links to anything Alex Jones-related.

Hammy……………apparently Fox has picked up the same story – watch em here:

#52 – Hammy there were TWO television station cameras visibly in operation (and I “think” some other private citizen caught this w/o their camera being noticed)…………………I say watch it – it’s a pretty serious violation of the constituent’s rights for my 2 centavos…………
#40 Hammie: Did you watch the videos in the linkie? I won’t watch anything on Jones’ sites unless it is in preparation to ridicule. My curiosity about a story cannot override the absolute bat-$h!t craziness of anyone associated with him. Like I said the other day, if it’s legit then someone who isn’t foaming at the mouth will have covered… Read more »
#50 BigTex: That ain’t nuttin’. I believe that they are not reading out the names of the victims, nor letting their families attend. They’ll be having a special service later in the week or two. Anyhoo, Pyro, I’ll probably have some horse lard available. Rocket has been lonely and spends all day, trying to figger out how to get to… Read more »

Gotta LOVE this Gent’s sense of humor!!!
The Donkey Whisperer
I think now I know how this chick felt (in a metaphorical sense).
#45: We are speechless after your previous post.
😉
I feel like I’m talking to myself; I guess I killeded the blog again. . . . . . . . . . .At least I don’t answer in a different voice.
This is enough to make you wanna puke! The Obamas’ summer break in Martha’s Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers’… Read more »

#39 TEXCAN: That really wisses me off big time. I can not believe that the sheep folded like lawn chairs with barely a whimper. I would have shouted so loud they could hear me in the next zip code “you can not take my camera in this public meeting”. I would have told the cop to go and read the… Read more »

#28 TT My husband bought the Acer soon after Hurricane Ike. It is his disaster portable. We had no electricity for 13 days. As soon as power was restored to the office building where my group works, I simply went to the office every day for a week, since I could not work from home. David has an ebay store… Read more »
