"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Does anyone remember when stores were closed on Sundays?

Honestly, wasn't that great?!? It was inconvenient at times, but it slowed the pace of life down a little. Stores being closed on Sundays must of been back when there was no electricity? Right?

I remember many years ago when my pit bull was alive, she tore up an armadillo. She was pouncing on it against the house like a football player at practice hitting up against those dummy pads and pushing them down the football field. I didn't know what the heck was going on until I went outside and saw her shredding the poor thing to pieces. I was like, "Uh Oh".

They make great soup provided you can catch and open one.

Glad things are looking up!
Welcome back!
Not having you vent is like not having coffee in the morning, doesn't work. Besides, venting gets it out of your system so you can focus on more important things.
Yup, and only 3 channels on T.V., cartoons only on Saturday mornings, no remotes or TIVO. Just some of the things my kids use to make me feel old.

No cell phones!!! Cell phones are a blessing and a curse!!! It's great when there's trouble and you really need them, however, everyone is just too available.

They almost always give birth to quadruplets (via eggs i thought...) And are carriers of leprosy also :/
But man can they dig out a red ant mound in no time!

Those suckers can get hit by a car, flip the car, and still cross the street. The biggest reason for car crashes in state parks in FL.

I keep waiting for our dog to bring one home...alive! She has brought us rabbits, possums, etc. She plays with them and then lets them loose around our barn. My poor husband has had to catch and relocate more animals!

OK this is my intruder story. Years ago, Jim was out of town & it was just me & the dog. Sometime during the middle of the night I woke up & heard her growling. I got out of bed & she was standing in the living room staring at the patio door. I got my pistol & quietly walked towards it. I could hear something bumping & scratching like they were trying to get in the door. Every hair on her back & my neck was standing up!

Then it moved and we could hear it brushing against the hedge as it went around the corner of the house towards the back door. I dropped to my knees so the intruder couldn't see my shadow & crawled quietly into the kitchen - my dog following me, still growling, & picked up the phone & called my Dad (my folks live just down the road from us). I could hear the intruder bumping against the back door, trying to get in that way.

I heard Dad's truck coming down the driveway & when it stopped I threw on all the outside lights, threw the back door open & rushed out, pistol drawn, just as he ran out of the truck with his shotgun.

It was a big armadillo wandering around the carport.

"Armadillo on the half shell". Like oysters.

Nothing like being home alone in the country! At least it wasn't a skunk! It never fails, when my husbands out of town, and if the kids aren't home....THAT'S when something would happen.

I miss pay phones, used to have one on just about every corner. Cringed when beepers came out and finally changed to a cell phone in 2010 (cheaper). Doesn't make any difference, I screen the cell phone calls too, just now I have to call my voice mail instead of hearing it live.
