I've officially gone bonkers! star_smile.gif

It's the end of the semester crunch and I'm feeling some serious chest pains from stress. Ack! I have to have some discipline and study hard till finals are over May 9th!

So this means limited VJ time for me. Otherwise you may experience random rants and sudden outbursts of hostility from me for no other reason but pure frustration and venting. I like to keep my friends so I will be mostly out till May 9th... blush.gif

Love ya all and take good care! heart.gif

Have a Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Beautiful Morning, Everyone!

The sandbox was very nice and I enjoyed the fellowship with my MENA family. We will have to do it again very soon.

YUK!!!! We found a possum in the house this morning!!!! blink.gif When hubby came home from work, he came in the bedroom to kiss me and said he smelled pee - I had no idea what he was talking about cuz I couldn't smell it. I got up, he went to bed. About 10 min later, he calls me to the bedroom and says "What's that? A rat? " I couldn't see, so he turned on a light and I saw it was a baby possum. Well, it had sh!t and peed all over the corner of the bedroom behind the bedside table! OMG! Apparently it must have come in thru the dog door before I closed it for the night and found a nice little nesting spot in the comforter we'd put on the floor (it was warm a few nights ago). Thank God I was too lazy to pick it up at about 4am when I was so cold, I just stayed under the sheet. Well, about a half hour of us both freaking out a little, trying to catch this little bugger w/ a shoebox, and not quite sure what the heck we were doing, we finally caught it. We ended up tossing it over the fence (into a neighbor's yard). Mom says we should have killed it, but A) I wouldn't have known how and cool.gif I wasn't really thinking about slaughtering a little possum @ 7am!!!
Anyhoo, now I have to hurry to dress so I can go to the store b4 work and rent a steam cleaner for the carpet........ Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..... possums!!!!!!!

Next time I come, i will be wearing my suit of armour!

I agree with you they are laden with fleas, but to murder them barbarically with a shovel is something that will make me cry if I even think about it! I have a family of them under my shed. No, I dont like them, but they do reduce the rat and slug problem. Since they are nocturnal, I don't see them much.

not that i've ever done that, around here they are not a problem - the coyotes keep them down in population.

Morning everyone,
Great party last night, as you can see recoving from the sandbox.

Question..............we went food shopping yesterday and I got 1 1/2 lb of rare roast beef at the deli counter. Later on I went to give him a piece to see if he liked it and I got the "tssss tssss" sound and he said "not like this, you fry it with butter and put an egg on it".


unsure.gif helpsmilie.gif Will he never eat a roast beef sammy?
brnidokiegurl
maybe not, we had the food discussion last night, he decided he dont like turkey now...and in morocco the hambergers came with a egg on top wacko.gif

that sounds a little better... i just cant imagine egg on top of hamburger it seems like it would make me so unbelievably full from protein overload. i eat egg with veggie sausage all of the time so i could see it being good on a boca burger.

Good Morning Burger (from The Simpsons):



"We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger."

His mom would make a dish also like for the night meal sometimes, i have no idea the name, (it looked like) a platter full or little bitty meat balls topped with a few eggs(fried) all over the top

Which veggie sausage do you use? I use the Lightlife Gimme Lean in this lentil and vegetable cassarole I make because it adds just the right ammount of spice.
