Are you giving your knives to Ethyl?

Of course not.


She has her own . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Why?

Outright Prejudice.


Brandicism.


Hate, loathing, disgust . . . .


Kinda don't like 'em to the level of Contempt Prior to Investigation.

If money doesn’t grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

How can you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

Could someone ever get addicted to counseling? If so, how could you treat them?

If Fed Ex and UPS merge, would they call it Fed UP?

Why do airlines call flights nonstop? Don’t they all stop eventually?

PPV?

Only if'n I had said "rassle."

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I haven't eaten processed cereals since I was a kid. I'm fairly certain the processing is MUCH different now than it was 50 or so years ago. If I eat grains now, it's things like brown rice amaranth, and quinoa.

I still eat some processed foods, but I try to be selective about it. Chocolate is my downfall!

I amuse myself that oats are still made the same ol' way.


They may not be.


I may start buying horse oats from the Amish and cooking those.

Poor Dr. Tyler!

She does manufacture a lot of what's not going right with her(self).

 

[Wat_Tyler]

That's the way to do it! I hate to pay, but after my (still unresolved) 2023 taxes, I think I'll start calculating how I can have a minimal amount to pay.

Yesterday, I got a missive from the IRS wanting a copy of my husband's death certificate in order to claim the refund from 2023. This is AFTER I have made monthly phone calls to them since December. They couldn't have asked the first time???

No, they can't


Or the second.


Or the third.


Or however many times after that . . . .

Two words, K:

Gardening gloves!

And miss all the fun of dirt under the nails?


What kind of weenie talk is that??!?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I changed the burned out lightbulb on my front porch yesterday. I had to climb onto a chair to reach it but I got it done! I'm ridiculously proud of myself!

You are here by officially instructed to get a 4' stepladder - a proper one, a good one - and to cease using chairs, inverted five gallon buckets, or a box of dog food - as a Vertical Enhancement Device. Please, desist forthwith and hereinafter.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

That's a good memory! I keep my lists on my phone now. I just need to remember to put things ON the lists!

Yeah, that too.


I suppose the day is coming where I put it all on the phone . . .


and leave the phone at home . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Leftover fries in the air fryer!

Don't have one.


Yet . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I love, love, LOVE draft horses! If I could have one, I'd have either a Clydesdale or a Belgian!

The landlady found a pair of Belgian girls for sale cheap last year.


Timing was off.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

How do they not take care of their horses?!?

They do, at a basic change-the-oil level. They also work them. Horses wear out. Those are the ones we see. Like Boxer on Animal Farm.

My mom was an SCAer. She didn't ride horses (that I know of) but was fully into the dressing, tents, and camping. She made her own tent. I was mostly glad she had something she liked to do to occupy her time. However, I was pretty mad at her when I found out she was camping during thunderstorms. She lived in Missouri. 🌪

Dr. Tyler is her own anachronism, creative or otherwise.

I get proud of myself when I do stuff too.... but climbing on a chair....scary!!!!
