The Sign of the Times or Old-Fashioned

I am not up-to-date.  I don't give a shit about 'latest inventions or an upgrade of a cell phone or what the fuck ever.'  I don't have many friends, nor do I want to have many friends.  I have a Tracphone....a cell phone I basically use for emergencies.  I feel no need to constantly text friends.  I'm convinced that if we continue this "texting" phase we as a human race will lose the ability to speak in coherent, full sentences.  Then again, I'm truly not interested in anyone that cannot form a complete sentence.  Anyone for thetherball?

Baxter's Unusual Talent

First of all let me start off by saying, "there ARE dumb questions." It's a matter of who's asking. My friend Jackie told me to start my own blog. She says it's because she knows I write and would have good stories to tell. Personally I think it's because I'm full of shit. People who are full of shit are good at playing the game, Balderdash. Anyway, a little bit a bout me. I'm married and live in Arizona with my husband and 3 dogs; 2 Wiener dogs and a Chihuahua mix. Before we got the Chihuahua we had 3 wiener dogs, so I used to tell everyone I live with 4 wieners. My husband's name is Frank. How ironic or phallic is that? All my dogs are male. Now that we have the Chihuahua I tell everyone I live with 3 wieners and a chili pepper. Chili peppers in a way remind me of doggy dicks so in a sense I still live with 4 wieners. Those who know me, know that I'm nuts about my dogs. Yes. I am a nutty dog lady. And I can safely state that

WHITE TAILORED SHIRTS TUCKED IN

My husband and I went to Chili's yesterday for linner (for those of you unfamiliar with the word, that's lunch and dinner combined). When we go we always sit in the bar section at one of those tall, round tables and order margaritas (my husband has the Presidente and I have the Top Shelf with a side kick of Grande Mariner, on the rocks, no salt). One of my favorite things to do is people watch. Most of the tables were full so the people coming later sat at the bar. There was a nice looking young man sitting alone enjoying a beer. There were other couples and singles doing the same thing. They all looked rather normal and perhaps friendly, fun-loving people. Then enters a couple, older. By that I mean late forties or early fifties. They looked around for a booth or table and since the only one available was next to us, they opted for the bar. I wasn't offended by this because perhaps unconsciously this couple knew that I would annoy them to no end. You see I

The Case of the Haunted Tunnel

About a month ago, we found a multi-colored tunnel – the kind small children use to scramble through, or perhaps something used on a small dog agility course, laying in our easement just beyond our backyard fence.   A curious sight, we wondered if it was something the wind carried over the fence from our new backyard neighbors.   We left it there, thinking the neighbors would notice it missing and retrieve it.   The wind continued to move it here and there, but our fence and the neighbors fences contained it to the easement area, in fact, some of the tall, dried grass captured the tunnel and kept it still for a couple of weeks.   Every day, I looked out of the window to see if it was still there, and then it was gone.   I thought that the owners finally discovered it missing and retrieved it.   Unfortunately for the wayward tunnel that wasn’t the case.   Our strong winds finally released it from the tall grass and lifted it to the gulley between the two fences of our backyard neighbo
