Make sure you wrap them in something and bury them under something else, just in case HE takes something to the trash and would see them. I know trash is really gawrsh-awful smelly this time of year but do it anyway. Never know how little it might take to set the murderous side of him off-----------------

Yesssss, I watch too much of the ID channel-------------------

Funny you said that, because that's exactly what I did - great minds think alike!

Last night they came home from working on his house. He's all steamed because evidently AOL was charging him $30/mn all the time he was in prison - 24 months. He's pacing back and forth, cursing, rattling the change in his pocket ... finally, at 9:00 at night, he says he wants to punch something and that he's going out for a walk.

A tap on the window an hour later, and it's been raining heavy all the time. I let him in the back door (that doesn't sound too good, but YOU know what I mean!) and he comes in greatly calmed, claims he didn't hit anybody, then went off on a renewed rant about AOL and how if he was in their office right now he'd choke one of them.

Yeah.

My roomie is relieved this morning that he went off on his own for the day, telling me with words and body language that she feels she's done her part for him - gave him a place to crash - and seems a lot more level-headed than a few days ago. I guess the bloom has fallen from the rose ...

I've hidden my duct tape and my knives, and put chastity belts on the critters.
 

Obviously, your "house guest" needs to go. Been there. Standing firm at the door and saying no is all that works. If necessary, call the cops and let them shoot him . . . I mean take him away for trespassing.

Naw, that's probably a little extreme. He's got problems like all the rest of us, but the thing that gets me is that money isn't one of them. He's collecting a union pension AND Social Security, has money in the bank(s) and drives a fairly new crew-cab F-150, so it isn't like he'd starve if she kicked him out.

But that sudden mood change - now THAT has potential for being bothersome. Nothing I can't handle while I'm around, but I'm not always going to be around ...
 

Phil...what's so wrong with his house that he can't sleep in a bedroom while he's fixing it up? Even if he has to eat at McD's for a while if the kitchen isn't operational. Only takes a day or two to get the electricity and water turned on.
 
Phil, I have no doubt that you could make him wish he was in a protected prison cell if you wanted to, so unless he's got an 'equalizer' he'd have no chance. But like you say, you won't always be there if the $hit hits the fan.

Good your roomie is having second thoughts. Wacko mood changes are never good, I don't want to be in a relationship with any hothead like that. First he wants to punch something so bad, that he has to go out and cool off. Then he wants to choke the AOL people because he was in the joint for perverted acts...I didn't know they give prison discounts. :rolleyes:

So right there, he's really being unreasonable. It only a matter of time before he's in the slammer again with that attitude. Ozarkgal if right, there's no reason he can't stay in his own house. The only reason he's wanting to stay by you, is to get cozy with your roomie again, so he can take advantage of her kind nature. I'd sure hate to see anything at all happen to her, looks like regular black eyes could come easy with a joker like that.
 
Well, today after our walk with the dog, I made up some lists and went out shopping for some food and stuff we'll need on our camping trip. We'll be heading out after the holiday, when everyone else if off the roads. I bought some flannel sheets to put in our sleeping bag, it gets cool when you're near the mountains at night. Regular cotton sheets have that cold feel. We'll likely just be gone for two weeks again, in the same area where we went last time, so if I take any pictures, they'll be similar again.
 
Honestly . . . I am a nice guy... But can pull up the ice cold part of me (they nicknamed me Ice in my veterans group...) when it comes to saying, "No!" to a guy like this. Take your problems and split, buddy.
 
Hello Kitty pulled her fly through the air and land on the bed with all her weight at 0300 a few times; poking her nose in my face and chirping. Okay, so she wants to go outside. I've got no problem with that. Stumbled out of bed and down the stairs to open the back door for her while looking forward to climbing back into bed and my unfinished dreams. But, NOOOOOOooooo. She just strolled over to her food dish and started enjoying a midnight snack. What, she just wanted my company while she ate??? As I wobbled away on still sleepy legs, I mumbled the age old question, "Why are you such a CAT?"

I love animals . . .
 
4.55am..25th.august.. second night I can't sleep, back playing up. At 73 I suppose i shouldn't complain.
Think i'll make myself a Coffee, Take a Tramal tablet for the pain & do a bit more on the computer.:dispirited:
 
Sorry to hear your back is acting up and keeping you from sleeping. Hope the coffee, Tramal and computer play helps. Oh, just in case you missed the warning, "Do not use TRAMAL if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. . ."
 
All quiet on the Eastern front today. Beat up my student for a few hours, got a lot done on my blogs, abused the animals for a while. Roomie #2 was out for the day by himself, no drama when he returned. As I write this he's eating a bowl of pasta watching the Dodger's game - harmless enough.

TG, your cat truly IS a CAT. It's what they do.

... still not as frustrating as women, though ...

*ducks, runs and hides*

Sorry to hear your back is giving you sleep problems GDAD. Sometimes a nice long soak in an Epsom salt bath helps relax the muscles and relieve some of the pain. :bath:
 
That Guy, my cat plays me like that every day...come to think of it so does my dog. :confused: ....love animals too. :love_heart:
 
Today I just did some much needed housework, mowed the backyard and pulled some weeds, now I'm just relaxing until I take a nice cool shower. Hope everyone is having a great day! :happy:
 
Went to the barn and saw my horse for the first time in a week. Didn't ride today as it is too hot, but will later this week. Had brunch with some friends then home to do the mowing that I've been meaning to do all week. Finished the mowing and thought I'd do some weed whacking but flooded the thing so am on a forced break. Have been checking out various types of tractors on the net, expensive machines. Wishing I had taken some courses in my younger days in mechanics, then I'd consider buying an old one. Oh well, don't need it yet so will keep looking at options.
 
It is a Bank Holiday Week-end here and I have family visiting for the week-end, I live in a seaside town and today we went to the beach.

Nice pics, Bee. :)

My day was as follows.....woke up, walked the dog, played on the computer, did a bit of housework, had a bite to eat, watched tele, fell asleep. ;) Perfect.
 
Pam that could have been perfect...............but.............you mentioned the word............housework.:D..and oh! yes, I don't have to think of the walk, cos I has a budgie.:D
 
Thankyou SeaBreeze, I had a great week-end thanks, one thing we did which I hadn't done for years was to buy some fish and chips and sit on the pier on the quay and eat them straight from the wrapping, best way to eat fish and chips.:)
 
Bee..glad you had a good time with your family. Your pictures capture the essence of the beach...waaaaa...I wanna go to the beach and eat fish and chips..

drool...it's been too long.

Well, finally, I think I got my engine revved again. The iron pills are starting to work and so am I. Yesterday I finally got outside to do some weeding, clipping and thinning. The annuals are in full bloom now.

This morning sitting on the porch having coffee, we kept hearing a weird noise coming from across the creek. It sounded like it was coming from near the rock hunting cabin my brother is building. Finally, I said we were getting dressed and going over there to see what was going on. We hopped in the beater 4WD Toyota and went four wheeling across the creek and over some rough terrain the creek had re-arranged after the last round of storms. Nothing going on over there, but apparently someone off in the distance was doing some work on their farm and the sound carried like it was very close.

Back to the homestead where I commenced to bleach the mold on the deck and scrubbed the entire thing. Living in the woods anything that doesn't get a lot of sunlight grows green goo, even the rocks in the driveway. With that out of the way, I had a sit down in the pasture in a lawn chair for a few minutes and watched the Gangstas try to out terrorize each other.

I then trudged up the hill to hang my new don't mess with us gun sign on the gate, and then back down to the garden to pick a peck of peppers to pickle...can't say that three times I bet:playful:.

I made three pints of banana pepper rings and three pints of jalapenos. One of the jalapenos I left the seeds in, they're going to my Mexican friends, and they like 'em hot! When we have a campfire, they pull them right off the bush, throw them on the campfire grill and chow down. I was foolish enough to bite into one last week, I know better, and I deserved what I got.

Okay..tired now, and still have dinner to cook.

So glad to hear you are feeling better Ozarkgal! Not only feeling better, but full of energy by the sounds of it - Yay!!!:encouragement:

Drove my sister to her Dr. appt this morning and then for groceries. She's improving every day but still not comfortable driving so I did that for her. Have been on line this afternoon trying to find a chainsaw course to take. No luck yet, but I have some calls out. I won't buy the saw until I do that and won't be taking down huge trees either, but there are some smaller ones that I could tackle (maybe). They scare me to death so that might actually be a positive thing. We'll see.........

Turned out the weatherman was wrong and instead of the rain and thunder predicted, it turned into a lovely day.
 
Spent the day packing stuff into the camper for our trip next week. Most is done now, except for a few more items we need to pick up at the store. Getting excited, looking to get out of town and beat the heat. :eek:nthego:
 
Pretty busy this week at the beach. Selling a lot of propane as lots of folks cooking out this weekend. Have a new companion out at the propane shack. She, or he, has been hanging around for over a week now, so we named her Saveon. I can't quite pet her, but she will walk up to me but she won't let me pet her.
