Christmas Countdown - 2012

[gabulldawg]

Wow that must have been a nice size turkey. My great uncle hit a deer one time in his ford ranger. It wasn't pretty. The truck was totaled. He said the only good thing was he got the ultimate revenge. The police let him keep the deer and the meat fed them for months.

This brings back memories of my mom hitting a deer on interstate 75 north of Atlanta back when I was like 4 or 5...it was not her fault but she was scared to drive home to show my dad because he always fussed...I remember feeling so sorry for the poor deer.Our car was not totaled because we did drive it home but yeah it was not pretty at all: hmm I have not had deer meat in so long. There was a time when my dad went on a deer meat binge we had deer hamburgers deer speghetti,deer sausage...time to eat again!!!laying:

Well I have eaten so much I can hear it sloshing around in my stomach....(sigh) now I have to wash some clothes,and pack.. I think I will wait till the morning to pack...men are funny now I think about it when it comes to packing....like I just get a grocery bag and throw some undies and tshirts in the bag and im set...Women on the other hand usually folds thier clothes nice and neat and packs them away in a suitcase...I guess that is why it takes me 5 minutes to pack for a trip and brandi an hour.oh well,I keep telling snowball we are going on a trip in the morning and he is getting excited.I get the funniest looks when I drive with him because his head almost comes through the sunroof of my car. If I open in he will even stand up on his hind legs and poke his head out the top. Well I still have some catching up here to do,have a good evening everyone!

that is so true! My mom starts packing a month before she goes somewhere, suitcase sits on the living room floor and she slowly fills it up.

Well I was thinking about going hiking this weekend but I think I better stay home. The spring turkey season opened yesterday and 3 hunters have already shot other hunters. I guess they didn't get the memo about seeing your target before pulling the trigger.

that made me think about one of our neighbours on the farm when I was a little younger than I am now...he would get so upset during deer season because some hunters would take shots at the cows. He came up with the idea to put signs on them that said "COW" in hopes that the hunters would notice and not shoot them.

I was watching the Draft but I had to switch it over to Idol now. I'll switch back once I see who goes home.

I think I got your sinus, chest, and throat problems. You can send the arthritis somewhere else.

I'm glad to hear that E-cig is working for you!!!!! Maybe I can convince my mom to try it.

Yes it's normal.

I guess you are really into football if you are watching the draft. I love football, but watching the draft has to be like watching paint dry. Sounds extremely boring to me, but I don't knock it, if you like it, that's fine for you, just not my thing.

I guess it also helps to be familiar with the college players, and I don't keep up with college football at all.

Yes it's normal.

It's mainly because there isn't anything else on tv that I want to watch. So I figured that I might learn a few things if I watched it and hopefully it will put my niece to sleep.

I know SIT posted about my uncle's passing but I am not here for doom and gloom but something I thought would make you all smile. We were going through some things at my uncles house and I never realized how many little Christmas decorations were blended in with his decor throughout his whole house! I found something in each room, there were little Santa figurines, snowglobes, snowmen, Christmas candles and more. This is all part of his year round decor. It doesn't look tacky at all, it looks really nice how he has it all displayed. It gave me a smile while going through tough times. You know, he passed away on Rudolph Day. Christmas was a big part of him!

I haven't read any of the post but SIT told me the kind words posted here and I appreciate it very much.

I probably won't be back on for awhile because we are still taking care of business but will check back soon! I miss you all!

Made i hope you feel better soon! Try some extra vitamin c & generic mucinex (much cheaper than the name brand & just as effective). My aunt is a retired nurse. She told me if i get 400mg? In it i can take up to 3 @ 1 time just take it farther apart, like every 6-8 hours instead of every 4 hours. Lord have mercy listen to me... I sound like a doctor.hahahaha just trying to help.

What position did your boys play? I played left tackle through junior high. I quit after that because I was tired of being bruised from my wrists to my elbows all the time and we only won 1 game during my 3 years playing in junior high. (They never got to the quarterback from my side. Just sayin.)

It's called being a good parent. Your not like the parents who don't care and let their kids stay out to all hours of the night. You know what the world is really like out there and you don't want anything to happen to your kids. I can remeber the first time I went camping with scouts. It was at a small farm just down the street from the church we met at. My mom drove up and down the street all day just checking to make sure that everything was okay.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I NEED A HAIRCUT!! I've needed one for a couple weeks now, but for some reason I haven't been able to get an appointment worked out.

I used to go to the local barber shop. You know, with the rotating pole outside, and you go in and shoot the breeze with the other guys till it's your turn. You could even get a straight-razor shave and a hot towel! I miss that.

A friend's wife opened a beauty parlor (as we call it here in the south), and he hinted that I should support his wife with my business. I didn't mind at first, but now it takes forever to get an appointment...forget about just walking in...and no shave...and no talcum powder! Shoot, I have to stop her every time before she puts hairspray in my hair!

We'll see how this one turns out today at 4:30. She could at least put out a couple hunting magazines. I've read all the Cosompolitan, Glamor, and Redbook I can stand!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

When Al Bundy lost his barber he refused to go to the beauty parlor, he let his hair really grow. cheesy

Take care of yourself!!!! We will be praying for you and if you need anything we are all here for you.


It's nice to hear that the spirit of christmas ran through your uncle all year as well. It speaks to what kind of man he must have been.

my oldest(22) played left tackle & started 3 years. My 20 yr. Old played right tackle & started all 4 years of high school. I think we were @ the orthopaedic doctors every week or so & now they complain like old men w/ all their aches & pains from it. Some injuries were so severe they will have some pain the rest of their lives according to the dr.'s.
