Think About It

Just think about it. They offer to send you anywhere you want and it won't cost you a thing. I guess most people start thinking about such places as Rome Italy or Cancun Mexico, or New York City. As for myself I would rather go back to a few places I have been to on vacation with my folks. This time it would be different. This time I would get to choose where I go and how long I stay there. Where would I go? What kind of list could I generate here and now? Well for starters I would love to go back to Mammoth Caverns for a week. Merrimack Island seems like a good place for a few days as I work may way to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and stop to visit every other lake for a day or two. I would love to check out the few states I have not been to – and that list would be short as well.

Exercise More

For all the many ways people develop on how to burn fat the simplest way is still 'to eat less and exercise more'. I read that in a comic a few thousand time. But did that stop the silly penguin called Opus or the thousands of people that mimic his reaction – NAH! If it is a pill that promises instant and permanent change in your weight, people buy it. OW – I just thought of another way to lose weight and keep it off – DIE. But that MIGHT make enjoying the change difficult depending on your spiritual beliefs. But there is that belief about the seventeen virgins! hmmmm!

Realize

It is really kind of sad to realize that desktop computers the times, the times, make that Ancient Times. I still own a desktop and my Bodacious wife uses it excessively. Myself, I use a laptop simply because it fits on the bed easier than a desktop. At work we all have our laptops to which we have conneted all of the desktop accessories, i.e. one-hundren-one key keyboard, a mouse hardwired to the laptop, two large monitors and for a few of us a printer. Myself I prefer to keep my work at work so I do not bring my work laptop home.

Got Money?

One of the best pieces of advice I will give someone eager to know where to invest, I suggest getting term life insurance quotes from as many sources as you can. For it is term life insurance that will or at least can be a valid short term investment. Many people invest in these financial instruments as a gift to a child to help them either attend college or start a small business.

A Test

I am not sure how valid my methods are of testing or trying to determine the status of the economy, but I actually enjoy visiting the Conn's and Sears in my area. Yes it is sadly true that there are fewer Sears outlets than just a few years back, but they are still recognizable sources of Samsung, Emerson, Toshiba and Motorola televisions. At Conns I can see what's available without moving too far into the store. The further a person goes into the stores dedicated to the entertainment electronics the more easily the vultures attack!

Once Again - He Lied

He said that the rain would hold off until tonight - once again he was only off by about 12 hours.

Oh Crap

I would have thought that a post office that is along Beltway 8 amidst dozens of large, multi-story businesses and corporations would have offered a better service that just ONE LINE. I wanted to get some stamps, but I have some @ home and can wait the delay of a day to use them. Just as I entered the section where the "May I help you counter is located" I heard someone says 'what the hell is taking so long'. So I did a u-turn and headed back to the van. The post offices near me are so much nicer and there is more than one line.

The Whole Idea

Now think about the whole idea, of what value is affordable health insurance to a dog, even ones as handsome as Charles and Butch. We already know that Charles' health was comprimised when he was but a wee little pup. Charles was his on his left side with enough force to severely damage his shoulder and his hip. And he is blind in his left eye – Hell you would be too if someone struck you hard enough to disconnect your retina from the back of your eye. Oh yes, Charles has an eye and most of the parts are in about the right place, but the eyebeall is not connected to the body and to the nbrain so heal th insurance of any kind with do him little good.

Top Veg

I have often wondered what would happen if I sowed diet pills. Of course I would sow one alone with one of each type of vegetable. Would God aka Mother Nature make sure that I could only harvest four ears of corn at the same time because too much starch would put on the weight. This would be especially dangerous (weight wise) depending on how much butter and sour cream is slathered onto each cob. Speaking of butter and sour cream, would I be limited in the number of potatoes I could harvest at one time? And what about those delicious peas. If God was promised that I would limit the salt AND the butter, would He allow there to be oh so many more peas in each pod! Yum!

1st Blood

(It is good that this is an electronic writing effort, because as usual, there will be several tear stains on this effort - they will be marked here as (P!) ; that translates to please pause/paws your reading, after all the writer had to.) I am not sure if this posting belongs in my three pups blog or if in fact this is simply the best place- after all it IS about Pup-(P!) the Texas Gardener. No not Pup the person also known as me. No! This is about "da Pup" aka da Brain(P!). You may believe that it is the truth I write of or not, but da Brain aka da Gardener used to help "pll weeds". And it is not his thorough method of getting the entire weeds, as he dug out enough dirt (P!) to plant a small tree. No! It was his method of determining which plant deserved such a treatments. If and only if the weed was tall enough to touch his belly fat did he turn around and ATTACK! Why so vicious? For da Brain, the weed drew first blood.

I dunno - I never know - do you?

Oh well its just a post - I mean what does it matter if I choose to discuss bodily functions or the cleansing thereof in such a family oriented, generally kind and often considerate place such as a garening blog. I guess I could liken it to what it takes to remove nematodes from your garden just as a colon cleanse would be to your digestive system - right? I wouldn't think that you would want to give your garden an enema - such a quick fix might not give you any control on where the chemicals go or which plants are affected. Or "yard man" has suggested that we just pull back the soil from here, then spray weed killer only here and not worry that the other plants in the area could possibly - in any possible way - be affected.
I am thinking that the best way to deal with nematodes is to shovel out all of the soil in the surrounding area loading it all into "thick" contractor bags say 3-4 mil thick. Set these bags in the sun to bake for a summer of Texas Warmth, then put the soil away from where they had done their damage last year and grow lettice, carrots and Marigolds.
Uh wha? - huh? You ask what is my point? I dunno - I never know - do you? Since we're into questions. Does this thing still have a spellchecker in it??
