Ski, go on and open a couple of cans good ‘ole American Whoop @$$ on them, then come back safe and tell us about it. You, GO girl! 😉 Stay safe.

This whole Rocky Mountain Oysters thing is rather dependent on the fact that he actualy has something to fill the “sack lunch” with in the first place…..

Well…yeah. I was thinking of mentioning that but decided to be nice for a change. 😀 😉

😀 *sits back with a glass of bourbon to watch* Who’s got the popcorn?

So….who else has got cabin fever?? I am going out of my freakin’ skull here. I can’t get comfortable enough to sit for very long to read, and lying down with my leg in a splint, well……that’s not much better. *grumbles*
I go to the orthopedic doctor tomorrow morning; it’ll be only the third time since I broke the ankle that I’m getting out of the house. First time was to get the damn thing x-rayed, second was to take the dog to the vet…..

I just hope this ankle isn’t going to need surgery or anything. From what I saw on the x-rays, it looked like a simple break. They certainly didn’t see the need to try and mess with it at the hospital. 😕 I dunno…..what I DO know is that it still hurts like a mad b@st*rd if I move wrong. 🙄 🙄

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. 😀

The Disney Animal Kingdom is way cool–you’ll really enjoy it. 8)

Thanks, guys.
The house is just so empty and quiet right now. I keep thinking I hear the sound of her collar clinking against the water dish in the kitchen. And I miss her big, deep WOOF! when people come to the door……
We’ll get another dog, but probably not until I can get off these #*%$*W@!! crutches! :shout: :shout: 🙄

Rocky Mountain Oysters, huh? 😀
There’s a T-shirt out there with a cow standing on it’s hind legs, holding its…….ahem…own 😉 And the shirt says: “Rocky Mountain Oysters–The original Sack Lunch”

I want that shirt along with the one of the crusty old mustachioed farmer who’s got this scowl on his face and is pointing at you. That one says “Don’t mess with me; I castrated everything on this place!” 😆

What about in porcelain? Would that be a happy medium kind of thing?
And I can just see the poor fuzzy in a glass ornament…….. 🙂

[tasgrs]

Wow, talk about Karma! 🙂
Congrats, MG!
And hope you feel better, Melody!

Can you all stand another cry from me? I sure hope so…..

This afternoon, around 3:00 we said goodbye to Flurry, our Great Pyrenees dog.
I was with her to the very end, and it was peaceful.
My heart is completely broken right now.

Pyrless Blizzard of Odds, CGC, CD: Flurry–Beloved by all who met her. Sleep well in the Summerlands, Dear Heart. 😥 😥

The Stand is one of my favorites, but I like the “unabridged” version he released some time ago. Once I read that one, a lot of things in the first version that I had read and thought “Huh?” suddenly made a lot more sense. I liked the books of short stories, Night Shift and Skeleton Crew. I wanted to see “The Mist”, but never got around to it. It’s been on cable lately, but on a channel we don’t get. (which figures, lol)
I remember “Creepshow”, which was a screenplay based on some of his short stories. His sense of humor was very apparent on that one. 😀

I understand entirely about the hardcover vs paperback; I have a couple of books that I’ve literally read to tatters. Some of them are by other authors. Like The Hobbit and the LOTR set, which I got back in high school. Another is The Horse Goddess by Morgan Llwellyn. I’d love to find that one in hardcover. It’s out of print now, I think. I re-read a lot of books, too. My husband is always saying “Didn’t you read that already?” He can’t understand how I can do that.

I had forgotten about Rose Madder!—I must’ve put that one in with a box of books that got put away. Most likely in the garage or some other equally inaccessible-at-the-moment place. Now that it’s been mentioned, the want is gonna be there like the itch under the cast. 😀
I like Koontz and Patterson, too. My mom is big on the murder/mystery books, so when we do a book swap, I get those from her; she’s given me a lot of Patterson’s stuff. I also like Anne McCaffrey; I think I’ve read just about all of her stuff; and Piers Anthony, Stephen R. Donaldson, and Tanya Huff. The bottom line is I’ll read pretty much anything at least once. :yes: I’d rather read than watch tv. I carry a book with me just about all the time–you never know when you’re going to have to sit and wait for something. I go bonkers if I have to sit around and wait without something to do.

Thanks so very much, guys!! I can’t wait to see him! I promise to post pictures of him when he gets here. (I may have to get the hubby to take them, though. Fair warning. 😉 )

MG, I am still totally floored by your amazing generousity. Thank you again! :hi:

I actually don’t have any Poads….yet. 😳 I”ve got mostly dragons and a couple of griffins. And a few PYO Ki-Rin. But I liked the sugarplum Poads, and thought I’d toss the idea out there for the ornaments. I don’t know if I would like to see like small dragons with Santa hats, but maybe a small keeper holding a sprig of holly? The Poads might be real cute with little Santa hats, though. 😀

[tasgrs]

Oh dear….SO sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. 🙁 When the numbness wears off, we’re here if you need to talk. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

[tasgrs]

MWAHahahahahahaha….and it’s even a LEGIT recipe! Gotta love it. 😆 Extra points if you can hold his head under while he marinates…..
