Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
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.
