manlycornhusk's blog post - Big Mama's at it again!

Oh, she thinks i'm not watching, but she's wrong. The temperature has risen 1 degree every 5 minutes for the last hour..teetering on 80 at 10:30am. That's outright abuse of power, lmao.

Bucking the obvious, decided today was the day for a big pot of venison chili. The only good thing about a dial-up server is the download times for blogs gives me plenty of time to prep and start cooking. Yesterday's experimental pizza casserole was a mild success...damned junior women's club cookbook! Obviously some of them aren't much in the kitchen.

I know there's things to do outside before winter rattles the windows but right now, they're going to have to wait till my toe heals a little more. I finally made it to the point where crazed thoughts of inhaling magic marker fumes to cloud the pain has passed away and the throb is managable. Pain, regular pain, is no stranger and I rarely give it notice anymore. I've been called a glutton for punishment for walking around with a toothache for a month before making it in to have the work done. Actually, that just makes me a moron, snickering at myself!!!

Responding to Pauline's admonishment to be careful about pissing off Mother Nature: Snow is no stranger here and on the flat plains of Illinois, it's the drifts that make life hazardous. The theory around here is that no drift is too big to drive through until you halfway through...then it's ok to rethink it because there's no turning back now. Besides, if you don't like the snow, give it a day or two and it'll be in the next county...no trees here to keep it around. Didn't even know snow and rain was supposed to fall downward until I saw it in a movie..lmao.

Well, lookie there....i just created a rambler... My dad would be proud. I learned from the best, a man who could talk for two hours without having a point to his words. I miss him but he's given me some of himself that I will cherish forever...my ability to bullshit with the best of them.

Peace and Love, Y'all
