What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all.

And after being assured that snakes traveling in water pipes isn't a thing, I heard the Alice Cooper story, which confirmed it can happen. So I also have to check the tub every time I enter a bathroom.

When the priest blessed our throats in church, we were told that if we swore we would lose our voice. No talking while fishing or you will scare the fish away. If you get bit by a bat you will get shots with a 1 foot needle.(I'm terrified of bats to this day!)
ReplyDeleteMy Dad was too proud to say he didn't know something so he would make up his own reasonable answers to various things us kids would ask him. He would give his answers with such certainty that it made it completely believable. It really wasn't until the internet age when we could easily fact check him that we realized he was just a good bullshitter.
