What is the funniest or oddest thing you have ever seen being hauled down the road?

Posted on March 26, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

It was late one evening while my husband and I were on our way home. We hurt this loud noes, yet we could not figure out what it was. Next thing we knew this guy with his F 150 truck flies by going about 60mph hauling an old fishing boat with the tie grown. No it wasn’t just blown he was riding on the rodder. Sparks were flying every where.

The oddest thing he passes a gas station were five cops are standing outside talking and you know they saw this guy and heard him, you could hear him coming miles away. Yet the cops never stopped the guy.

Odd but true.

I have seen a truck in front of me going about 45 and his front tie comes off and rolls a half mile up the road. He never wrecked his truck he calmly pulled to the side of the road and luckily the tie didn’t hit on coming traffic.

What have you seen?
That was we heard not hurt . LOL

New walking problem?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

On our Sunday evening walk, a dog flew out of his yard, barking and growling with his hackles raised after our dogs. It wasn’t a new route, just a new neighborhood dog. Our 3 year old male flipped out, literally.
He looked like a fish out of water he was flopping around so much trying to get at this dog.
Up until this point, he has never had a problem with another dog, now, he gets on the defensive and starts flopping around even if he so much as hears another dog barking.
We have tried everything we can think of, tried to “re” train him to walk on a leash, reward him when he behaves, and we have started using the “gentle leader” on him again, but nothing has worked so far. (We have done this on walks by himself.) The minute he so much as hears another dog bark, he flips out.
My hubby said he isn’t going to be getting any more walks if we can’t get him to stop doing the landed fish flop. (Out of the question.)
I have run out of ideas.
Any suggestions.

I Think We Killed Santa….Or Someone…Now What?

Posted on August 11, 2011 by admin| 10 Comments

A fat man tried to come down our chimely earlier this evening and got stuck. We tried to get him out by pushing and pulling and poking, but it didn’t work. So we lit a fire. We thought it would work like it does in cartoons and he would fly out. Instead it cooked him.
He left a bunch of large dogs tied to a partially gutted car on our lawn.
Are these now our property or do we have to return them to his family?

How many of you caught June Bugs?

Posted on November 13, 2010 by admin| 11 Comments

I remember growing up in Southern Ohio we would catch June Bugs and tie a string on their leg, We also would catch lightning bugs in the evening and put them in mason jars. We also caught what we called jar flies and put them in mason jars, They made a real wierd sounding noise, I know it sounds cruel now, but when we were young we didn’t think of it that way.

What to do for a couple that just ran off to Las Vegas to get married?

Posted on November 6, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

This couple has known each other for some time; they have always been good friends. Just got a call that they flew to Las Vegas and are getting married this evening. Everyone they know, including the bride’s mother, are saying it’s about time. They have all the material and monetary needs covered, so friends and family want to throw a nice reception for them (probably in August so the ones that have to travel can make arrangements).

The bride is a musician, but also works as a programmer. The groom is a science and technical type. I need some ideas for a reception that would sort of tie this all together with a rock & roll theme, maybe even metal or even a biker theme. I need some ideas for music and for decorations. Pretty much ‘anythings goes’.
