I watched First Blood with kid #2 last night! (The first Rambo)



Such a classic!

I really enjoy it.

I was telling my kid that after that movie SO MANY teenaged guys were buying that knife and wearing their hair like he did.

I still wear my hair like that.

I loved Rambo myself

SCG, that's so interesting. About the stone, not your hair. I wonder what carried those two away at the same time ?

I don't like anything to do with cockroaches. Those ones in FL are crazy big and can fly.

OK so we call those ones Palmetto Bugs, so that I don't have to run screaming from the house when I see one

Weird! I've never saw that before, but I've only successfully grown watermelon a few times now.
I looked it up and yup they say it's from lack of seed production. Could try hand pollinating. I'm going to give it a try next yr with winter squash, I grow a few kinds and would like to save seeds. I used to save my pumpkin seeds yrs ago but I think they crossed with zucchini. After a few yrs some of them were turning out like the warty green goblin pumpkins, pumpkin size but lots big warty bumps and stayed green, some were regular pumpkins.

That's weird.

I bought some summer squash seeds from fedco and one was normal and the other was mixed with a gourd. We knew something was wrong with it. But fedco sent us a refund for the seeds stating they grew some and saw they were cross pollinated with a gourd. Lol

I did not plant that watermelon it grew in the chicken run.
Left over from their pooping out some seeds. There is another one growing on the same vine. I guess we'll give it to the cows. Lol they will likely grow their own next year. Lol

We have those here in Alabama also. I hate them!

Just because I went in to have my second(last) Shingrex shot for shingles, the pharmacist said the demand was so great - the suppliers are OUT of them. I wonder if that screws up the whole deal - you were supposed to have the second one in a certain time period. I would have gone earlier but the pharmacist told me to come back in Oct.

Probably not the same thing - they died in the same year (1876), but Sibyl died in May, and Nellie in November.

Burleigh, Hall C., 13 Dec 1826-17 May 1895.
Clarissa K. [Garland], wife, 18 Sep 1833-13 Feb 1915.
Sibyl Drummond, 26 Dec 1857-16 May 1876.
Nellie Elizabeth, 2 May 1874-8 Nov 1876.
Clara May, 5 March 1856-8 Jan 1934.
Dessa Mary, 17 June 1883-20 July 1930.
Samuel A., 1870-1952.
Nettie C., 1874-1963.

I'm thinking that Nellie and Nettie must have been twins?

We have the Missouri version of Palmetto bugs. We call them wood roaches. Gross Gross Gross. They come running out of dead wood piles and are about 1.5 inches long. I hate roaches of any type so they have a standing death warrant out on them.

Slept too much yesterday so I was wide awake till 2 AM. Hate it when I do that. Up at 7. It's going to be a long rainy chilly day. I did manage to make a batch of cinnamon rolls. Waiting for them to get done now.

Interesting stuff about the headstones, SGC. I never considered them to be 'recyclable'.
