Ugh, Sarah Palin in the mix!

Start a boycott?

Oh, Billy Beer? UGH! I remember those things, nasty tasting! However I'll take his peanuts anytime and anyday!

Peanuts are good for ya! Throw away the celery, peanuts are much better for you and taste better!

Someone cheated!

Here, have some scrapple! I don't know if that is a Yankee thing but it is eaten down south. Unless you cared for some crawdaddy gumbo!

Pass the Tabasco sauce please!

I do remember stomping those crawdaddies holes, man, they are like land mines all over the place!

Well, looks like the bidness is up n goin iffin junkmanme don't get ussuns in trouble wid de guberment.

And we can't fire the birdman, he ain't smart enough to figure out we ain't payin him nuttin, so he's workin fer free.

On a serious note; I'm going in to work tonight. A month off is all I can stand. My back-up is going to be there just in case I can't make it through the night and to give me a break if I need it. I'll just be setting on my butt in the booth calling the auction, I'm not going to try and do any real work like lifting, loading or anything, but I've got to try to get back sometime.

I almost dread seeing the place, haven't been there in so long I'm ondering if I'll recognize my own auction.

I wonder how much all my help have changed everything up while I was gone?

On a good note; as everyone knows I'm sick and not feeling good, I can probably get away with being grumpy.

mfb,

Many years ago, when I had an Independent "All-Lines" Insurance agency...I was getting a bit "grumpy" and suffering from some "burn-out". I flew to Old Mexico for a short vacation. I would call the office twice a day to see how things were going. My secretary finally told me to quit calling....everything was fine. She said that IF I called my office again, she would REFUSE to accept the "collect call".

I quit calling and had a nice time.

Ha-Ha !!!

You'll probably be as disappointed as I was when you find out how easily they can get along without you.

It's really irritating !!!

I'm betting it's going to be a really busy night. Everyone will be showing up to see if you are really alive. If you find that things have been running fine without you, maybe you could fire yourself.

Then I'll come on down and we can spend the summer catfishing.

As funny as it sounds, I tried to close the auction down.... my help won't let me!

I told them I could afford to pay them, they just all looked at each other and burst out laughing! They said I ain't never paid them enough before to put up with me, much less for the work they do.

I'd just fire the whole bunch of em, but I got mad and done that once before a couple of years ago. Got on the intercom and said "yer fired!" ALL OF YOU! Go away, I ain't puttin' up with ya'lls crap no more!

They just ignored me.

I guess I'm sorta stuck.

Now THAT'S funny...But it is nice to know that you have good people around you! Looks like you don't need a first-night-back-at-work excuse to be grumpy; sounds like they love you anyway

Glad to hear you had a miracle! I believe in miracles AND the power of prayer. Fish oil, salmon & vegetables arent bad either,

but I won't push the celery thing on you--Sir Bird has that covered. I will tell you that by paying better attention to what I was eating & just 2 fish oil pills a day lowered my cholesterol almost 50 points in 3 months!
CONGRATS on the good news--whatever it is you're doing, keep it up!

I guess I better tell you about how I fish... don't want you to be all disapointed and stuff when we go. A perfect example was the one and only time my father-in-law and I went fishing.

Now my father in law and I get along great! He's always liked me for some stupid reason or another. (Might be because I married his crazy middle daughter and got her outta HIS house, but that's just a guess). Anyway, they came down to our house on vacation and he wanted to go fishin'. We live right near the Tennessee river and Pickwick lake, so I said sure, we'll go first thing in the morning.

We got up early, loaded all the rods & reels, tackle boxes, lawn chairs, two coolers full of refreshing beverages on ice in the back of my old four wheel drive fishin'/huntin' truck and headed out. I told him I knew the perfect spot, but we'd have to walk a little bit to get there. He was so excited he was grinning like a 10 year old! After a few minutes of driving, he asked when we were going to stop for bait? I just told him I had it covered, not to worry. It was a beautiful spring day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, just picture postcard perfect for fishin'.

We got to the lake and I drove down a little dirt path type road I know, we pulled right up to the water, got out and walked a couple hundred yards down to a little point covered with huge old growth cottonwoods. I sat up our chairs, sit a cooler by each one, got my pole and sat down in a nice shady spot and got all comfy. He just kept looking at me funny. Once I got settled in good, I cast out my line, propped up my pole, opened a drink, leaned back and pulled my old cowboy hat down over my eyes and settled in for a nice nap. He kept making weird noises, so I pushed my hat up, looked at him and asked him if he was going to fish or just stand there all day? He sorta coughed, looked funny and finally said, son, you didn't put any bait on your hook!

Well duh! I told him if I put bait on my hook I'd be a heck of a lot more likely some darn fish would bite it. He still looked stunned. So I had to explain that if a fish bit my hook, I'd have to wake up from my nap, reel the darn thing in, put it on a string, rebait the hook, get outta my chair, might even spill my beverage and it would totally ruin my fishin'.

Dumb Yankee.

He just set there all day looking like I kicked his dog or something. It was plumb sad. Then when it started getting late, we packed up, walked back to the truck, loaded up and headed home. He finally asked me what we were going to tell our wives when we went home with no fish to show for a whole days fishin. I mean he must have thought I had never been fishing before or something! Jeez. I'll never in a million years understand a Yankee.

I just whipped the truck into Otha's quick stop, went in and bought 30 pounds of fresh dressed fish off one of the commercial boats parked in back, threw it in the cooler and said there, wasn't that a heck of a lot easier?

I had to spend the whole drive back to the house explaining that fishin' was just a way to get away from our nagging wives, spend the day drinking in the shade and getting a nice nap and just enjoying life. He never did get It I don't think.

He has work and fishin' mixed up in his head somehow.

But if ya still wanna go catfishin' I know a real good spot!
