More Odds n Ends
Once Upon A Time. I've heard that all my life as the lead in for stories, but isn't that an odd thing to say? Once in a distant time maybe, or once way back in time, but once UPON a time? I could understand once upon a horse because one can get upon a horse, but how does one get upon a time? They must have been sitting on a Time magazine.
We'd had about three eighths of an inch of rain in nearly two months. I couldn't mow the grass because it would snap it off it was so dry. Then we had 3ΒΌ inches of rain in less than 24 hours and nearly an inch three days later. Today it showered a few times too and the lawn is having a party.
I figured out how you can halve your cake and eat it too. It's all in the spelling.
The step-granddaughter and her three kids came for a visit, fortunately staying with my daughter next door. As she seemed nearly oblivious to her 2 and 4 year olds wake of destruction through the place, she casually mentioned how this home wasn't childproofed. I said when my kids were little we homeproofed the kids. It would seem Dr. Spock is spreading insanity in yet another generation.
You don't have to be as cross as a bear just because you have a cross to bear.
The Hershey bar is a staple in my life, but I'm protesting their gender inequality. It's pronounced Her-She, that's two feminine pronouns. I think they should be called Him-He bars when they have nuts.
If Australia is called "Down Under" would America be "Up Over"? Or would that be Europe. By the way did you ever notice Europe is the odd man out when it comes to continents? Everything else starts with "A". The two American continents, north and south, Antartica, Asia, Australia, Africa.

I just love a thinking man! LOL! That "Once Upon a Time" is hysterical. Thanks for the laugh. I needed one.
You need rain? I wish I could send you some because we are getting a record amount of it. It's rained almost every day now for about a month. It poured this morning for over an hour, and now it looks like it's going to do it again. That old saw "when it rains it pours" certainly seems to be true this year. We can't mow the lawns and fields because it's always raining. But if it weren't raining I'd be complaining about no rain, because we either get too much rain, or not enough. There's never a happy medium in Texas.
By the way, and off topic, the insurance adjuster agrees it's a scam. He couldn't find any damage on our car whatsoever, but I knew he wouldn't. :)
You're being rather heterogeneous with this post, aren't ya' Fish?
:-)
(I used my newfound dictionary web site to look up that word)
You're welcome Gayle. We're getting some rain now off and on, but we had a long dry spell. My corn didn't come up at all, but then I didn't expect it too since I never planted any.
I thought from your description of the "accident" that your assesment of the situation was correct. He was looking for a "guilty" party.
Yes I am AGT, and it's different than I generally do too (grin)
Unh... you kinda have to plant corn for it to come up, Fish. LOL!
PLANT CORN! Gayle, that sounds like work to me. The Amish Store has had the best sweet corn though, cheap, and we've sure enjoyed corn on the cob the last few weeks. Dinner was sliced tomatoes fresh from their gardens, fresh green beans cooked with ham, and corn on the cob.
