On The Beach

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
A Couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot.

One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach almost every day.

She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively,then speak to them.



Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off.
But occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money and something she carried in her bag.



The couple assumed that she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure, they just continued to watch her.



After a couple of weeks the wife said, 'Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?'



He hadn't -- and said so.



Then she said, 'Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing.'



Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up & down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave.



The man then walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.



'Well, Is she selling drugs?' she asked excitedly.



'No, she's not,' he said, (enjoying this probably more than he should have).



'Well, what is it then? What does she do ?' his wife fairly shrieked.



The man grinned and said, 'She's a battery salesperson.'



'Batteries?' cried the wife.



'Yes ...' he replied -







SCROLL DOWN











OOOOH -
You're gonna dislike me for this - (but it will
make your day)!



















She sells C cells by the seashore!

The Ax Men Cometh...

The Ax Men Cometh...
 

 magnify

hehehe

.
Good Morning All;
Short of a few shots of life on the waterlogged farm, I have none of my own place, (save two), to post.

However, I do have a few that I'd taken at Kelli and Tims last night.
.
.
By the time I got there, these ax men already had much of the offending tree down, and were working on the base of the tree.
.
.

That's not a power line~
It's the rope to drop the wood
more carefully than gravity alone.

.
.

.
.
One man on the roof, doing the sawing...
.
.
Another on the ground, holding the rope...
.
.

.
.
Little by little that chainsaw won...
.
.


.
.
The base was notched...
.
.

The chainsaw stuck!
hehehe

(Seems to be a Chainsaw~Eating~Tree)...
.
.

So you just fire it up anyway...
.
.


And the rest is history!
.
.

Happy faces all around
.
.

Casey and Kelli!
And Casey's shirt says:
"Horse Lovers Are Stable People"
?
?


.
.
The sky was threatening once more, so Casey and I left~
I wanted to get a few WILD sections of my lawn cut.
But Mother Nature was having none of it!
.
.

.
.
A few sprinkles later...

And she left us with this...
.
.

Cnv0422..

.
.

....



.

I'd better close for now...
.

It's time for me to clean my house.
.
After all,
.

hehehe
 


Have a 'wunnaful' Tuesday!

Love to all!

XOXO

VIAGRA!

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other

A guy fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs.

He went to the hospital, and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns.

With his skin already starting to blister, (and the severe pain he was in), the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a Viagra pill every four hours.

The nurse, who was rather astounded, asked, 'What good will Viagra do for him, Doctor'?

The doctor replied, 'It won't do anything for his condition, but it'll keep the sheets off his legs.

hehehe

In a not~so~good way,
FLINTVILLE, Wisconsin was on the map!
hehehe
.
.

Good Afternoon All;
Late(r) today as I tried to catch up on blogs I might have missed.
Did I miss you?
Let me know, and I shall do my level best tonight to be catching up with you. (Those of you still on Y! 360, please know that I cannot navigate anywhere within that site).

On the Good News side, Casey is out of the hospital. We had three new prescriptions to fill and went out to Oneida Pharmacy.

While she waited for those, I entertained Punk by throwing and old water bottle for a game of 'fetch'...

She found out the hard way that water~logged grass is a bit dangerous...
.
.

A little uncut gully,
and she went ass over teakettles
twice
!
...
.
.



She even made me go rescue her!
(Casey had just come out of the pharmacy;
thinking quite like her mama to grab the camera).
.
.

.
Once again, I really believe this dog wants to be a black lab...
.
.


Yes, I have to scrub those leather seats yet.
,

,



Everything is so very water~logged and flooded yet...
.
.
Including The Fox River...
..
.





The ditches...

.
.

.
.
.
And even the cornfields too.
.
.


Yes that IS a cornfield...
QUACK!

 
.
.
.
The cleanup continues down at Kelli's ...
Tim had brought his rig home and had slept in it the night of the fire; not wanting to have any problems with anyone that might be snooping around...
.
.


It made for a place to set your buns to take a little break yesterday.
Kelli, with Mr. Miller.
I'd taken him in to Dr. Spires-
He has an ear infection. (NOT Dr. Spires)...
And he has a skin infection. (No, not the doctor)...
But all will be well with Mr. Miller in short order
(and THAT'S some good news too)!

.
.
Kelli stopped by this morning... With Mr. Miller!
hehehe
.
.
.

Miller says HI!
OK, so I took the picture yesterday...
It still fits.
.
.

And it is way past time for me to get moving around here...

I hope you are all having a fine weekend!

XOXO
Anne

PS  Our forecast?
This from WBAY...

Good morning Anne,
We're watching a swirling area of low pressure along the U.S.-Canadian border.
It will likely trigger afternoon t'storms for both today and Sunday. There will be a risk of a few strong storms with hail and high winds. Any weekend thunderstorms may bring some localized heavy rains, which could cause water levels in flooded areas to rise again...

Sheesh, Ya think???

Wait, DON'T CLICK the link...
Scroll down to the 4th comment.

Now this gives a hole new meaning to "Girls Just Wanna have Fun..."

Check out Tonya's link... (Be prepared to be disgusted if you dare click on it).

(But what I REALLY want to know is how Sweet Tonya came across this in the 1st place)?
hehehe

I blocked her.
(No, NOT Tonya)!
Just in case she would take offense and mess up my pages here.

Love to all. (well, kinda)

XOXO

Report if you like, but...
...DON'T FORGET TO "BLOCK THIS USER"

And either link to my link here, or pass it on to your own friends.

If It's Not One Thing... 
Bad...
...to worse...

.

Good Morning All;
I am not too sure exactly where to begin...
Know that the very worst of the storms last night were south of Flintville.
(Just not the damage).

Long story short, EVERYONE IS ALRIGHT.

Was talking to Miss Kelli last night.
(Both on cordless phones; safer that way), while the storm was ongoing...
There were a few claps of thunder that even made Punk wince. And a few streaks of lightening too.
Suddenly Kelli cursed, asking, "What was that?"
Then, "I'll call you back."

Moments later the phone rang.
Kelli.

One of the trees in their front yard had snapped; a large branch hanging precariously on the power lines going to the house.

I asked if they had power?
Yes.
Does Tim have a chainsaw?
Yes.
And 'duh' on me- anybody that has a brain, trees, (and/or woodburners), up here HAS a stinkin' chainsaw and knows how to use it...
Tim and Kelli would have all four; ~brains, trees, chainsaw and a woodburner.

And so, of course I told Kelli I would be down shortly to take pictures...

I threw some clothes on- (was already in my sweats); grabbed a jacket, and the camera and was down the road in a minute.

What I was greeted with when I got there...


.
.

Note the power lines
.
.

See the kitty's eyes in the window?
hehehe

.
.
And one more...
.
.

.
.
Tim already had the chainsaw out.
Hard cutting as the rains still came.
.
.

The power lines being behind him, about 8 yards away.
Kelli and I praying all the while...
.

.
Kelli ran in to grab their raincoats

.The first branch had cooperated with the saw;
The 2nd? Not so much.
.
.

.


Time to get the chains,
(and the big "come~along")...

.
.

Tim's chainsaw remained
abandoned
and very securely in that branch...


And yes, seeing that chainsaw WAS kind of funny~
.

Miss Kelli, soaking wet; spying the chainsaw...
.
.
Tim said to try another strategy...
.
.

Back to the broken tree...

As the wires snapped off the house!
.
.
Hard to keep my lens dry-
But what you cannot see below
is the smoke that came from the chimney
.
.

.
.
911 was called and dispatched quite quickly.

Kelli ran in to grab Mr. Miller, a few cats, and her car keys.
.
.

And was quickly yanked out by one of the firemen too.
(AFTER those animals were out)...

.
.

The trucks filled Cedar Court.
.
.
Kelli and I grabbed the horses;
leading them to the flooded pasture
.


as the smoke filled the backyard...
.
.

As the firemen broke through the outside basement access door.
.
.
The origin hard to locate, being the basement was filled with smoke...

An electrical fire.

Damage caused by a bolt of lightning that had hit the tree; burning most the wiring in their basement.
Also taking out the well.
.
.
Wisconsin Public Service arrived to shut the remaining power off at the road.
Tim and WPS remained there.
The wiring being reran over the offending tree, but not turned back on yet.

Kelli and I (and Mr. Miller), came here to try to unwind.
(She did not sleep til 5AM, and then only for an hour).
.
.


Clearly, Mr Miller did not have that same problem.
.
.
Todays jobs are well defined for Kelli and Tim~
The basement door being broken in, left all the runoff going directly down there. It is deep to say the least.
The electricians have been called; as has Weslow Water.

As they work down there, I will bring Mr. Miller to the vet. He had an appointment scheduled already; too important to cancel.

And I had best get my butt in gear... He goes in for 9AM

Hope all is well with all of you

Love to you always.

XOXO
Anne

Garbanzo Beans...





Pretty close to "Live"

And really REALLY noisy too!




Good Evening...


.
.


Yes, Casey is still in the hospital.
Maybe tomorrow she will come home.

.
.
The nurse was taking blood
for a test they are sending to California.

.
.
The doctor has started her on Garbanzo Beans, to be taken 3 times a day.

(Sorry, but I cannot remember what the drug really is called).

It is used to treat nerve pain;  (the doctor is thinking that Casey's pain could possibly be related to damaged nerves from one of her prior surgeries).

At this point, almost anything is worth a shot.

She is still feeling poorly but if the garbanzo beans work, (if this doctors hunch is correct) how cool would THAT be???
I am so hopeful.
.
.


At Kelli's, as the horses waited for their supper...
.
I did get our lawns cut before the skies opened up. So no, her backyard is NOT that long anymore.
But if these rains keep up both our places will be overgrown again.

.
.


There is actually a family of ducks in this picture.
They were too far away to get a decent shot though

I'm thinking this picture would make an AWESOME jigsaw puzzle!

And life goes on.
Not too much other news to offer.
Kinda troubling with Casey still stuck in the hospital.
And I have busied myself packing up a few things for their move to their new place.
That, and LOTS and LOTS of catching up with the laundry.
More later.

Hope all is well with everyone.

XOXO
Anne
