There was an article in the paper here about how we should be careful while the cicadas are marching toward their deaths. The article said that copperhead snakes like to feed on cicadas. Who would have thunk it?

Just remember when you are dealing with a machine on the phone to say this word strongly and clearly, "REPRESENTATIVE! Representative, I said. Give me a dadgum representative! Do you hear me? REPRESENTATIVE!"

If there is a cougar out there that wants me I am willing...not necessarily able but willing.:rolleyes:

Those of us who attempt to sell some of our work to offset the cost of tools, wood and supplies are always in need of a sugar daddy or mama. I hope I can find a patron or patroness soon as my mad money is running out.

We live on a cul-de-sac with almost all of our neighbors in their 60's or 70's with one exception. The newest family to the street has a daughter who is a freshman in college. Sunday afternoon, the father of that young woman had a massive heart attack and died while his wife and daughter were...
