How much !!?!!

This morning, T and I went to shop at Wally World.  Afterward, we filled the car with gas.  Fortunately we had put some money on a Walmart card.  We got 3 cents off the posted price of  $3.41 and only paid $3.38.  Only, she says.  We spoke with a young man while checking out and the word on the street is that we will be paying $5.00 a gallon by the Summertime. 

Still you need to keep a sense of humor about these things.  Either that or take over a small, oil producing country and have a tanker bring the deliveries straight to your car. 

SIGN ABBREVIATIONS:  LOL - Love Our Leaded (but it's not cheap).
OMG - Ouch, More Gas needed . 
WTF - Wait, There's  Financing!

Would anyone have a pair of Draft Horses and a set of harness that would fit a 1992 Olds Cutlass Supreme?  Will supply my own shovel.

Pets Mart

We have a pet shop here in town where we buy our parrot mix and turtle food, often on a Saturday while we're doing our grocery shopping and other errands in town. The shop also stocks mice and rats for feeding snakes and I have been known to bring one home for Elder Daughter's little pet. When you enter the shop, there is a rather large and obvious Dinosaur looming to the side. It may not be noticible unless you enlarge the picture - but the middle front tooth on the lower jaw is missing. Instead of the white fang, there is a hole in the jaw. I hadn't noticed it really.

Until Elder Daughter mentioned the tooth and told me she was there when it happened.

Turns out, the dino-dentist is a member of our family and holds the dual position of being her youngest son. He was just touching the tooth, happened to pull on it and it went flying right out of the dino-mouth and landed at some remote location. The whereabouts is not known. The area was briefly scanned. The tooth wasn't spotted. She and the boys hustled out of the store. They periodically return to shop and each time, the gap in the jaw tempts youngest son to touch the space and quietly remind his mother that he was the one.....

Why Chickens Have Skin.

I have found the secret of why chickens have skins. I mean, in addition to holding the insides together and providing a place to hang the feathers; chickens have skin for another great reason. They have skin so that Wal-Mart can sell them seasoned with lemon pepper and cooked on the rotisserie - and we can buy them and take them home. Chickens have skin because a seasoned and well cooked piece of skin, torn from the carcass of the bird makes the best place to hide an antibiotic pill for a Belgian Pug to scarf down.

Since we discovered this secret, life has gotten so much easier two times a day, morning and evening.
