Anyone Got a Stretcher Weekend Recap
Howdy y'all! Does everyone else remember going back to school around this time when you were a kid? These days? They've been in school for 2 weeks already!! A friend of ours has a third grader and posted the obligatory list o' facts pic their first day of school two weeks ago and I said I was so glad they didn't send us back that early and he heartily agreed! Saturday was off to a low key start but waiting for a small weight rack to replace the mondo one we had down there. They were dragging their feet so I watered the plants front and back and we went out for a little bit then drove through the old hood. We drove past my high school besties house as well as ours. This is the second time we've gone there to reminisce and within 30-60 seconds people roll up on us like they notified the po po of the new car in the court. Lord forbid I look at my childhood apartment for a few minutes so we left since it didn't feel safe. There's nothing...
Always check the toilet bowl to make sure a snake didn't crawl up the pipes. Darned babysitter liked messing with my head. By my mid-teens I'd just about broken myself of the fear when one day, I sat down and heard something moving in the bowl! My Dad had gotten mad at a fish in his tank for eating everything else and he tried to flush it but apparently it managed to avoid going down. Anyway, that's the last time I tried to sit on a toilet without checking the bowl. 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.
