Dyed Easter eggs for the first time in what seems like forever tonight.  Maddie had fun with it and Papa Boo has figured out that using a tarp like a drop clothe makes cleaning up after a toddler art

Uncle Ray the family mechanic says can't go wrong with Mazda or Toyota for a little car. 

 

Sugar Britches drives a Toyota Avalon.  The car is four years-old and the only repair job needed was replacing an O2 sensor that went bad.  Toyota builds good, dependable cars and trucks.

 

That's as close as I can come to providing information on "small" cars.  Some people, including the aforementioned Sugar Britches, think this is a really weird fact about me: I've never owned a car.  I've owned trucks, SUVs, and a couple of Jeeps but never a car.

Right now, trying to use the force to cook dinner while I sit on my arse with my feet on the proof trying to recover from public transport hell...failing at both.

 

40min train trip with a screaming 4yo throwing a tantrum because some random other kid wouldn't give her his toy...followed by a bus trip with 2 stinky fishermen, a dead shark (for real) and 12 drunken, yelling teens.

First of all, I'm a hillbilly not a redneck.

 

Secondly, I suppose the surprise comes from the fact that I never had a sports car or muscle car phase.  I was always content to watch fast cars from a distance.  A buddy of mine back in the day had a souped-up Chevelle.  I drove it a couple of times.  Admittedly it was fun to drive a car like that, but I couldn't get around the fact that strapping a canoe to the roof and loading it up with gear didn't seem like a feasible option.  Not to mention the fact that the lack of ground clearance on a sporty car like that would end up with me stuck in a rut on some forest service road miles from nowhere.

 

Some guys buy a sports car as part of a "mid-life crisis."  Seeing as how I waited until my mid-forties to settle down and finally live like an adult, that's not an option either.  Can't imagine myself strapping a car seat in the back of a muscle car...Hang on Baby Boo, I'm gonna drive this thing like I stole it.

Breathing a sigh of relief.  The high winds and torrential downpours have passed.  With the exception of a few downed tree limbs, we didn't experience any damage here at the house.  A little bit of flash flooding in low-lying areas of the county, but the water levels are ceding quickly.

 

I guess I'm entertained by weird things, but I'm kinda looking forward to firing up the chainsaw tomorrow morning.

Just spent 35 minutes watching the first part of a video that was recommended for me by YouTube.  A vegan and an advocate of the paleo diet were debating one another.  Well, actually, they were nitpicking over semantics and treating cherry-picked findings by nutritional "scientists" like some kind of holy writ.

 

Might as well have spent that time stacking ping-pong balls or trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.  Abject waste of everybody's time.

Well I was coming in to say "Looking for a volunteer to go to the dunny and do a wiz for me because I really need to go but have a little kidney infection so was hoping someone else could go for me and save me the pain"  BUT then I read this

Nursing my kitties. They were neutered and spayed last week, and now they have a sickness and diarrhoea bug.  Lady Kizzy has a buster collar on and feeling sorry for herself. They have just been to the vets again, and had an anti sickness injection. All is calm now they are sleeping.....for a bit.......

Oh, I hope your kitties feel better soon.  My one golden retriever has been throwing up.  I hope I don't have to take her into the vet.

I've just roasted an entire buffalo for Oliver but if he's still hungry after that can he have any scraps your kitties leave?

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
