More Random Thoughts

I have never looked forward to going to sleep as much as I do now 😴
 
The 8 year old thinks the Parthenon is in Ohio.

He cannot be convinced otherwise.
 
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what to call it.
I don't know how to get rid of it.
I don't know why it lingers.
 
I really hope the boys don't show up to keep me company because they know I hate being alone. As much as I hate to be alone, I also like the quiet of the house to myself. If they show up, I wont get anything done.
 
I really need to find out how to keep the rabbits out of the yard. :rolleyes:

Cats or a big dog helps. My German Shepherd mixed with Husky never allowed anything but himself (and family) to exist in the backyard. Birds on the fence were good as dead too. He perfected claiming HIS territory.
 
My dog is a serial killer. She would be happy to assist with that. :eek:

That's the problem - the dog goes chasing off after them and I have to go haul him back in the house. Maybe the actual problem is the dog needs to be better trained. :rolleyes:

It depends...my dog thought of anything that moved as prey. He's even killed snakes before without a bite on him.

Mine does too. She catches birds and butterflies out of the air.
I still love her but I do look at her differently than I did before she started doing this.

Yep...I gots me one of those serial killers too! And then she likes to bring her "PRIZE" into the house to show us...headless birds in my house are not fun!

And thank GOD, no snakes around here because that would mean I have to move if she were to bring one in...

LOL, I had a cat like that once; he was actually kind of a community cat who everyone fed, but he slept on my front porch or on top of my car. If I went out of town, whenever he figured out I had come home, there would always be one of those "gifts" on the doormat. Lizards, birds, mice....*shudder*. :cattail:
 
I had a snake that escaped. My neighbor found it in his apartment. Scared the shit out of the guy. Literally. I never bothered to tell him that he killed my snake!

Rabbits are some GOOD eating!!!

If you live far enough out that you have rabbits, I might suggest a quiet 22. Long range accuracy. Quiet. Zero kick. Almost free to shoot.

All takes me back wistfully to a time when I was 16. We lived on the edge of town. Me and my buddy would take his mom's old Impala out. We would go out on the highway, with our 22's hanging out each window and he would slowly weave side to side training the headlights on the shoulder till we saw them. Then we would stop, shoot them and toss them in his mom's trunk (God love her for putting up with us!). Then we would stay up half the night cleaning them in his driveway (did I mention his mom was a saint?). And she would cook them the next day.

Ahhhhhh the joys of growing up a boy in Texas... *sigh*
