[kcsunshine]

One of the funniest stories I've heard lately. Why is it men always have to go farther, buy bigger, build stronger than necessary? And usually pay for their misery. But I too get a warm and fuzzy feeling thinking about thieves coming across his fence....

 

[savingdogs]

Oh, my, that was funny. I wish I could fart and turn on the TV that way. Or at the very least when the dog farts....

Oh no, we are talking about gas again.

I did not say, "I could wind"....... Funny the computer doesn't mind what the dog did.

 

[freemotion]

Wow, I needed that laugh! Number 8......hee-hee-hee!!!!!

Yup, #8 was the LOL that woke up DH!

so today didnt go so great. you could say it was the battle of good and evil. there has been a lot of ice cream involved.

this morning started out bad. real bad. but right in all the unhappiness a welcome surprise. the UPS guy came by - on his day off - to make sure i got my package yesterday (i did). he said it bugged him all day b/c he didnt have a good way to secure it, and i wasnt around, and he just had to leave it in the fence. he said he thought that maybe the dogs got it or that it blew away and - did i get my stuff?

you could have knocked me over with the feather.

yes, yes friend i got my stuff and thanks so much.

so i had a little bit of a spring in my step but i had such a bad headache i told the husband that EVERYONE would be happier if i had a 'time out' and i was gonna go to the store by myself.

i pictured it for an hour. me, alone. no one bugging me or pulling on me or pooping on me...and i would be clean, dry, not muddy. i was practically giddy with glee as i jumped in the truck and headed for the gate.

and there he was.

that Old Man Neighbor. mowing down my hay. again.

you know, i know that i can be aggressive, and tho i'm small in stature i make up with it with mouth-and-teeth and my bad attitude. and seeing that old man up there on his tractor, scalping the yard and headed for another swipe of my hay... it was the final straw to my bad day.

so i got out of the truck.

somewhere behind me The Big Man was lumbering up the drive because he was gonna open the gate for me - so you know, i wouldnt have to be wet, hot, or muddy.

i know he saw me get out or at least heard me slamming the door - and possibly breaking that back window which was cracked anydamnway.

i vaguely recall hearing those lumbering steps quickly picking up speed and him yelling "Babe! No! No! I'll handle....."

then it all became a blur.

now i'm not saying that i'd ACTUALLY run up on an old man, drag him from his tractor, and beat the tar out of him.... but i was in a particularly bad mood this morning.

and it probably looked like thats what i was fixin' to do.

the footsteps behind me turned into a run.

when all was said and done i was hustled into the truck and i left. of course, by then i was muddy because i jumped down into a puddle and i was hot because.. well.. i was hot

so get this.

TBM goes and talks to the old man, man to man, and tells him......

that if that old man kept mowing down my "weeds" it would only make it harder on HIM! because "you know how she is..." and i'd make my hubby go out and do more fencing! so could that old man quit making more work for him!!!???

so maybe the man talk worked. but if not TBM is going to do more fencing if he knows it or not.

so thats whats been going on here. rage. fencing. ice cream.

i'd say "happy thursday" but today i dont rightly mean it.

* mutter mutter mutter mutter *

 

[sekinkead]

Wow, I can't believe he came over again....

At least you got ice cream

I can only imagine how you felt and what TBM was thinking. I am due with our 3rd child next week and had my car at the dealership for warranty work on Monday and Tuesday and they told me what was broke wasn't under warranty. My hubby had to practically carry me out of the service center. I had to go wait in the truck.

Oh and Deb, I laughed so hard at that link. My hubby is a lawnmower mechanic and I sent that link to him. I can't wait to see his reaction...

 

[Denim Deb]

Glad y'all enjoyed it.

OFG, does this guy realize that he's mowing your hay? Has he been told? I'm thinking moat, complete w/crocodiles and/or land minds.

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

Oh golly Deb - I think I was too busy peeing my pants to tell you last nite how much I enjoyed the link! I sent it to all my dude friends and underscored that the story was NOT about me! ha! but i could see myself, standin' there.... holding the fence...and the mower.... ha ha ha

and yeah, sekinkead, i've been sent to the truck before.
;-)

part of the man talk was that it was HAY (*TBM points across the road- see they got hay too! *). but really i think the neighbor is just bothered by what we are doing. he's always one to tell me how they dont have any money but i dont think it occurs to him that what we are doing is making our own groceries.

i've tried to give them stuff before but they dont want it. and the only time they've asked for eggs was during the hottest time in the summer when our gals stopped laying.

i just think he's bored and doenst know what else to do. now if he wants to go brush hog down in our back woods.. sure. but stay outta my hay!

i need more ice cream.......

 

[glenolam]

Jeez OFG.

I'm serious now. Me, you and anyone else with bigguns need to give him the shocker of his life and have a jumping jack contest.

And we'll have THIS WOMAN join us!
