No punchline, really. I have to make a costume for a Llama. If I pull it off, I'll post a picture. The show is in a couple of weeks.

For the next two weeks my kids have 4-H Fair to prepare for and participate in. I'm also planting a flower garden sooooo I'm not going to post any sifts or mind my channel for the next two weeks.

I'm sure insomnia will have me here late at night though.

I just scrolled mouse cursor over my avatar and noticed the date. I joined 2 years ago yesterday.

Hard to say which.. people say "it seems like yesterday" or "I feel I've known you all my life". Truth is it does feel pretty much exactly like 2 years to me.

It has been a very nice two years. This site has been company, entertainment, education, source of distraction, escapism, outlet, obsession, cheap therapy and most of all fun, loads of fun. The best part has been all the minds I've met here.

Thanks VS, I hope I get to age along with you.

Look at him. He sleeps peacefully storing up energy to keep me up again all night for tonight's thunderstorm. Gotta love him though.

I can't say much. There's lightning going on again outside. I used up what was left of my battery reading comments this morning and it was nothing short of depressing.

What's going on around here? What used to be a nice little escape onliine has become a dumping ground for everyone's ills. The heated arguments and ad homs used to reside around the political threads.. but not anymore. Even the most innocent of posts generate nastiness lately.

Come on, folks. Tighten up the rhetoric around here.

You can either treat the screenames on this site as faceless entities where you can say and be whatever you like and it doesn't matter squat in the morning.. OR you can treat that avatar you're replying to as a real human being who you respect and would like to meet one day and have a drink.

Even our regular flamers around here from whom we expect the outrageous need to back off a while. Go post some vomiting kittens or fat babies with gas for attention.

I'd like to say to our long standing, faithful, POPULAR, outspoken, funny, respected, admired LEADERS in this commnity on this site:

STOP IT

Now I want to come back tomorrow or whenever this storm system pass and see some KISSIN AND LOVIN DAMNIT! You all like each other and someone's going to say something you'll regret one day. You'll feel like an idiot then won't you.

Kissin and lovin folks...

This morning the Scouts helped decorate graves for Memorial Day. It's not much, but its nice seeing the children do a little something to say thanks.

This is my little Cub Scout placing a flag.

Sister came to help too..

This next photo is the grave of one of our soldiers fallen in Iraq. The boys felt compelled to put more flags here.

Oh god how I hate computers

You know back in the day, you used to get a copy of all your software so if you have to wipe your computer clean and start over.. well.. you have your stuff.

Then the cheap ass tight wads decide that they can have a backup ON the computer. You're good as long as the entire computer doesn't crash and burn.

Well, this idiot here (speaking of myself) assumed that all computers at least has THAT to fall back on. I was going to "restore to factory settings" my laptop last. It has something and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm about to throw it though a window and then go on a shooting spree. Well, it's just not working right.. slow. Eons to load... browser freezes constantly.

Oh, back to what I was saying... This thing doesn't have a backup preloaded?? We have to back up our own software now? Welp, I didn't and now I guess I'm screwed right? I can't very well back up software that has the whatever hiding in it somewhere.

I can't sift! Everything loads sooooooo slow soooo damn slow!!! I don't have time to figure out this damn thing so I think I'm going to kidnap a smart nerdy fella now .

I know.. .I'll set a trap out on my front lawn. What should I use? I think for starters... a Star Trek collectors Christmas ornament, a pizza, chocolate chip cookies...maybe a stack of comic books or anime... I just baked a chocolate cake last night, whaddya think?
