Thoughts

1. I have nice Blog Buddies. :-)

2. Poor Arnold. Bless his heart.

3. No rain today. Good for business.

4. I didn't bitch about paying my property taxes this year. I just didn't have the heart to. My county needs money in a serious way.

5. Our sales tax statement came today. I usually have the husband take care of that item and he likes to procrastinate it. This time I'm going to make sure it gets paid ASAP if I have to go down there myself.

6. The plumber was out to the rental house, but there is more trouble with the toilet. We need him to come back out because the tank was not the only problem. There's a block, too, so we need it snaked.

7. A person's home is their castle. The throne needs to be fully operational.

8. Three cheers for a perfectly functioning throne!!!

  1. "bless his heart" cracks me up...
    It's definitely a southern US thing I think. No one around here (Pacific NW) says it.
    It's the best qualifier ever...
    (e.g. "he hasn't had a job in over 10 years, bless his heart" - this statement was made by my sister a few months ago... about my brother unfortunately. Bless his heart.)

  2. You ARE a nice blog buddy, too!

    And I, too, love that "bless his heart" tag! :) You can say SO much more when you close with that (at least in the South)! I've heard a Northern expression recently that comes close: Thank you - you've been very helpful. if you say it right, the person you're saying it to doesn't know if you're being a smarta$$ or being sincere - it's perfect!

    Glad you're having a better day!

  3. you're a great blog buddy.

    I love "bless his heart" or "bless him" - it is a southern thing. As I was reading your post, mky mother-in-law said, "blesshim, that man ain't got no common sense."

  5. In the end, it all comes down to having a functional throne, and a functional gut.

  6. Lily, I dearly wish I had thought of that last night before I ate a couple pounds of cheese knowing full well it would have to get through a 42 year-old colon. Perhaps I'd better get back to juicing. I should do that. *My* toilet works just fine.

  7. Swiss toilets are odd. Can you believe I took a photo of a toilet for a blog post I am thinking of writing!

    And then I thought I can seriously post it, can I? Almost indecent.
