The Widows Club
The Widows Club.
The Widows Club went to the zoo yesterday. I think the wrong animals were in the cages.

Benefits of Aging
As you know I have the Widows Club visiting for the next 10 days. While they are here, I am getting lessons in the benefits of aging and I will share them with you.
1. Even though you have known someone for 70 years, your memory is not quite what it used to be and you can still discuss why you named your 57-year-old son what you did and your friend will think it is interesting.
2. Your hearing is not what it used to be so if you talk over each other all the time you don't care. It just drives everyone listening to you nuts.
3. Bowel movements are IMPORTANT and an appropriate breakfast topic.
4. Your deceased hubby(ies) was the greatest man on earth.
Stay tuned.

Cousin Billy out
As of the 27th of this month we will no longer be able to say we have a relative in government. Cousin Billy is serving the last few days of his second term so he could not run again. Geez, that would have come in handy in case of a ticket in PCB. Of course, now I can tell the neighborhood police that my hubby is gonna let their plumbing back up into the house. [Knocking loudly on wood] Not that I have ever gotten a ticket or even stopped for that matter, unlike some I could mention.
The zoo is hopping due to the media exposure to Tondalayo and TK. Not to mention that the Miracle Strip Amusement Park is gone forever and Shipwreck Water Park don't open until next month. Goofy Golf parks are disappearing like mad, but hey, we have condos wall to wall. CD even took a look at Tondalayo and TK the other day when he came in to fix our phones. I have never worked this many hours in the two years I've been there. So that's why I'm missing in action now and then in case you were wondering.
CD's godmother is here and Grandma will come in tomorrow. Joy. How long until the 30th?? Of course, my fav sis-in-law is coming in for the weekend - I'll be glad to see HER!
As for Joe Beegle, he is still a conehead! But I did take it off for a while yesterday while I gave him a bath. Phew but male dogs stink! He will not leave his paw alone so I had to put the cone on him. It is healing nicely and his ear is great.
Helpful site of the day: Yahoo Groups has a group called Free Cycle. The way it works is that you can list something you want to get rid of and someone who needs it will come and pick it up. Or you can list something you need and if someone wants to get rid of it, they'll tell you. I belong to the group here and it is fun to watch. I will warn you that if you live in a large metropolitan area, get ready to read!

I like your grill
Have you heard this lately? Apparently it is a new way of saying teeth . It's bad enough when your significant other comes home and says something about a co-worker's grill and you are so confused because you are thinking he is talking about his car. But when it is the headline in the local Wahoo newspaper, something is wrong. A newspaper should always use proper English unless they are quoting someone. Someone correct me if I am wrong but isn't a grill/e something to cook your barbecue on or the front of an automobile?
On the waterfront, "see Spring Break continued" - another person dies this weekend in the Gulf while the red flags are a-flying. We were under a tornado/severe weather watch at the time. Not that we got any rain or anything else, but the warnings were out.
Joe Beegle is feeling better and his wounds are looking better. He was a little disheartened today when a new "girl" in the neighborhood wouldn't let him smell her because of his cone. Even seen a dog heart-broken? Ah, well, "Suzie" will be around a week from now.
Frazier is on a new diet and is not too happy. After stopping the egg-laying this season, I have put him on a new diet consisting of pellets. No treats, no people food, only pellets. Only took two days to get him to eat them...I was prepared to wait three. I had recently seen a parrot his age and Frazier looked terrible compared to that one. HE had plucked feathers from his legs and breast to prepare a nest and is looking generally worn. After a few conversations with that's parrot's professional trainer I decided it was time to do something, hence the pellets. I'll let you know how he is looking after a couple weeks. If you are considering switching your pets diet, the magic length of time is 3 days. After all, "it all depends on how hungry they are."
(For those of you now totally confused, we thought for 16 years that Frazier was a boy. But, no - the first egg appeared two years ago. Habit still has me referring to her as him.)

Frazzled
Have you ever seen a person wore to a frazzle? Well, you haven't see me lately. Joe Beegle is driving me to distraction. With the larger, longer cone he cannot reach his foot but he keeps trying too. Every five minutes I hear him licking the cone as if he could reach those damn stitches.
A quick visit to the vet today for a bandage check on foot and ear reveals that they cannot keep the bandages on any longer. Things will go from bad to worse if the wounds do not receive some air. So his stitches are bare and now I have to worry about him getting to them if by some means he tricks that cone into doing what he wants.
He can't see a damn thing and is constantly bumping into walls, furniture, legs, or whatever else is around him. It is getting old but he has at least another week before the stitches come out and the cone comes off.
I'm tired.

Who are you calling Conehead??
Just because I can't walk good with 50 pounds of wrapping on my foot, geez!
Just because my foot and ear itches like crazy, geez!
Just because I ate the wrapping, tore out the drain and took out a couple of stitches, geez!
Just because there is blood on the carpet in J's room, geez!
And, just because I was scratching my ear making it all bloody all over HER bedroom carpet and she was on her hands and knees cursing a blue streak, geez!
Just because the surgeries cost almost $700 and I'm undoing them, geez.
