Spook has been doing very important, manly things today.

Quite busy.

Been a while since I've worked. Now back to doing dishes,
laundry. May sweep the floor.Depends on what lazy southern
cat misses.

Doing dishes is a PAIN. Run water, wash dish. Rinse dish.
Look at dish...wash a few more times.

Drain water, run new water.

Wash second dish. Repeat....rinse, wash.

Drain water, run new water.

Third dish...you girls see the pattern.

I can't be washing dishes in dirty water.

The ones that really dirty, I just throw those ones away. Figure
I'll get more at Walmart next time. It's my second set this
month.

Foolish, I know.

Tried the paper plate route.

They got all soggy when I washed them. Bad move.

Silverware does fine in the washing machine. Just a little
noisy banging around.

Laundry...Don't get me started. Where's all my socks? Put 10
in, get nine out. Every blasted time. Wouldn't be so bad, but it's
always the same...right foot missing. It's like I got one leg...

(Yes, Spook may have that OCD...he has left socks and right
socks.) (Marked "L" and "R". Mom did that when I was a little
sheet, I've just stayed in the habit. Drove my wife NUTS.

OCD? I wash exactly four things at a time in the washer. Keeps
it perfectly balanced that way. But ****, it takes all week to do
the laundry.

That there headlight on my vacuum...now that was a good ideal on
account of I do the vacuuming after dark. Been practicing I have.
Only caught my sheet two times last night, I did. Starting to ravel
around the edges now. Thinking about cutting it off, making a mini-
sheet.

Gotta run...smoke alarm went off. Dinner must be ready.

Be back later.

Yummy, dinner!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

I'm gonna need y'all to give me name ideas for my pup.


Spook, someone suggested I find you a domestic helper....who shall I order up there? Thought about going myself, but it's cold, and MFB says my heart is already frozen, so I'd just freeze into an ice sculpture if I get below 60 degrees.

 

[Spookwriter]

" ...I'd just freeze into an ice sculpture if I get below 60 degrees....."

And you're saying....

Your hottest days are behind you?


No...that can't be it...


(wait for it...)


What IS that big thing behind you ?

Yep, thats the same words Terry said once...





Cold in Ohio?
Colder than Mississippi.

These big things we wear up here are called coats.
Lets say it together now....c-o-a-t....Coat.

What Do you people down south wear in the winter?
Fur-lined bib overalls?

 

[EmtheFishLady]

*I* don't wear nuthin.


Don't even own any shoes besides flip flops. If it is below 60 outside, I just don't go out. Stay by the fire where it's safe.

I ever mention I can't actually build a fire? I once put some wood on a fire Terry built. Was a nice roaring fire. I stuck some wood in, it went out. Smokey the Bear doesn't ever have to worry about me causing a forest fire. I had to marry a country boy so I can stay warm. Was that or a Boy Scout, and they warn those boys about me.

 

[Spookwriter]

Dinner wasn't too bad tonight.

We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

We were going to have pork chops...but I changed my mind.



And I wondered what Terry was mumbling last night.

That's it !!!



"Shoulda been a boy scout...."


Now it makes sense....

 

[Bunnylady]

He just wasn't prepared, was he?

 

[EmtheFishLady]

You coulda warned him Spook. But you didn't. You just let him fall right into that trap.

 

[Spookwriter]

I'm sure everybody remembers.

Mississippi and me, we'd been fighting over LauraJeans brownies
at the time.


I guess Em just promised him more ..... things.


I hear Terry's given up all sweets now.



...and the bear looked at the trap on his foot and moaned...
