THE BEST CHRISTMAS???

Many years ago after marrying my first wife, my mother-in-law made a quilt for me. We lived in Spokane and winters had a tendency to get quite chilly at times, so I was elated to have received something that would keep me warm during those long winter nights. However, there was a problem with the quilt. It wasn't long enough. When it covered my feet, my chest was exposed and vice versa. I would have to roll up in a ball to get my whole self covered. It made me CRAZY, and it didn't take long for me to figure out dear mother-in-law made it short on purpose, to do just that. I have been grousing on and off about this for about the last 45 years, and as of late, mostly to my daughter who now does quilting amongst other things such as working as a nurse, running a house, taking care of three little kids and one big kid (spouse), tending to a couple of dogs, some birds, some fish, a bunch of chickens and whatever else that is live and living with them.

Well, guess what! She came to visit today and presented me with a quilt she had made for my christmas present. And it is perfectly long enough. Wow! Forty-five years I had to wait for this quilt. As I was jumping for joy, I was given the "bad news." She has to take it back to Maui with her, because it isn't finished. WTF!!! "Am I going to get this thing back before I die?" Is it possible Robin ended up with grandma's gene pool......and is now trying to carry on with making me more crazy??? Thank you Robin for the quilt, which I don't quite have yet. Just to let you all know, if I pop off before the quilt gets much use, you are not allowed to put it up for sale on ebay. Throw it in the box with me and light the fire.

CHRISTMAS POTLUCK WITH THE NEIGHBORS

Some of the old people......................



















































Seems just yesterday when I was changin' this kids diaper.









Now she's got one of these, who by the way, puked on me the other day.








And unfortunately, Tehani has the grandpa's hairline.






Some of the neighbor girls, who I've been trying to get to marry me these past years. When they were young and giggly, that's just what they did...giggle. Now they're saying to themselves, "Jeez! How much longer do I have to put up with this ol' buggah?"










































Tried to get this one to marry me, but her husband objected. I wonder what the hell is growing from the top of her head.






Not this one either. The kid objected. I never noticed before, but she has an extra arm.







Grandma just can't seem to let the kid out of her sight. Jeez, it's just a kid!!!









More kids...

IF THIS DOESN'T GRAB YOU, NOTHING WILL

Whether one agrees or disagrees with US involvement in the affairs of Middle Eastern countries, a picture like this should motivate those in power to find another way to resolve the issues.

NOW CLASS, PAY ATTENTION!

Everyone see the red wire? Do not touch it when the television is plugged into the outlet and turned on. It will get your attention like nothing else could, and will cause your hair to stand up, make your heart feel like it will explode and make a part of your body go limp, so much so that no amount of viagra will revive it. (Women need not be concerned with the last issue).

Now, would anybody do this TWICE in one lifetime? I'm not going to say. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid........

PAYBACK TIME FOR SUGGESTING IT'S TIME TO PUT ME IN A CARE HOME

I received a call from Robin who was on the way to see her orthodontist. So, I thought it might be nice to share a picture of her with all the junk in her mouth. Hard to see, but it's there.
My question; Is all this time and money spent supposed to result in making her look pretty????? At least her hair looks decent. I could have uploaded the following picture.
OOPS!!!!!!!!

WTF

I'm starting to wonder why I can stick my finger up my nose in search of that elusive "booger" without too much consequence, and on the other hand, if a gnat the size of a pin head flies up my nose, it make me crazy.

NEW TRICK FOR OLD DOG

I'm sure all will agree that
are important. With this in mind, here is something one should not do.

Never attempt to drink a glass of water with a plastic fork pointing upwards in the same hand as the one that is holding the glass. DUH!

Gettin' dumber by the minute!!!

CONNED BY THE GRANDMONSTERS

The other evening I got stuck watching the kids while mom and dad went out to see a movie together. Adam was pissed off because he had to do homework while the other two and I got to watch television. At nine o'clock I told Shelby and Zack to take a bath. They gave me crap about who would be first and I finally had them choose a number between one and ten. Shelby lost and up she went. After a time I told Zack it was his turn. Up he went. Some time had past and I got to thinking, it's too quiet. I found all three in mom's room watching
on television. I yelled "Is this appropriate?" All three of them replied in unison, "Yes!" Again, I yelled, "Is this program appropriate?" Again all three said, "Yes!" One said "Mom lets us watch this all the time." So, who am I to argue. Besides, they weren't fighting with each other and it was quiet.
When mom got home, I asked her if it was okay for the kids to watch




When she freaked out, I knew I had been had. Since when did grandkids start lying to their grandparents? Oh, that's right! That's why they are now referred to as "GRANDMONSTERS!"

AGAIN, MORE PICTS

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS WORRIED

THEN I WASN'T

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO WORRY

MORE PICTS

Received pictures from Aaron yesterday. And no, I still haven't received the screwdriver that was shipped by boat. His kids are growin' up as well.
These were taken back during November '03.














TODAY.......................................................




Where the heck are your teeth. You'll never find a boyfriend with a face like this!





The cheap one that sent my screwdriver by boat to save money is the one on the left.

GROWIN' UP

Received this years school pictures of Robin's kids and started to overlay them on last years pictures in the frame. Been doing this since '04. Since I don't have a life, I found time to line them up to see how they have changed over the years. I'm sure all will agree my gene pool has done wonders for these kids.














































































As things progress, they will end up looking just like their parents, which may not be a good thing.
