Heat


Holy god, it is 10:00 p.m. and 93 degrees. Tomorrow school will be closed if it gets to 100 degrees. Lost cable and phone for a while this evening, traffic lights out too. Thank god the A/C is still going.

In other news, the boy has lost air gun privileges because because he shot the computer screen. There is now a bullet ding in the screen. In happier news, the new beds for the kids came today and they rock; really comfy and twice as thick as old ones.

Last night I dreamt I was having a screaming fight with BFI through a screen door. I would like to a have a dream where I run his head over repeatedly in the driveway.

Back hurts from hoisting old beds to curb and putting up new ones so I am going to lay down now. Maybe Cash Cab is on....

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Sorry our dead mother interupted our phone conversation earlier. Happy for the children and their new beds. That boy needs to be sent to reform school! I am frightened for what mine and my husband's future holds, please pray for us, we are scared! This country is kicking every hard working American in the teeth, that is why we need Hillary on the ticket with that Barrack. I will let you know what happens tomorrow, we might be out of a mortgage and a home on June 24th, can we sleep on your carpet if that happens? Cyber hugs to you Sr.

It's so freakin hot out there, beagle has collapsed on the couch after a brief walk. Hope the kiddies were not forced to go to school in this disgusting weather. I bet there is airconditioning in the teacher's lounge! It looks so pretty outside, it's killing me that I can't go to the park. Hope your day at B + B doesn't totally suck.

All days at Blunder and Blunder are suckish Jr. You are welcome to sleep on the rug. The beagle sleeps in the garage. All will be fine though, as you have fixed the mortgage problem once again.

Hey FP, back fine and the heat goes on. The A/c at work is up so high that at lunch time I acually stood outside in the heat for 20 minutes thawing. Can I sue them when I come down with pneumonia?

Beagles are the best dogs! Don't ever make a beagle sleep in the garage, Mary Lou!

Hey every one, Mary Ann is being touted as an excellent writer at B&B by no less than the mighty Charles Binder himself. I am imagining that she will be too modest to mention that fact! But it's true! Good for you, MJ, to finally get some recognition!

Thank you Linderloo for sticking up for my Lulu, Beagles ARE the best dogs. Sr. is so gifted, it is about time the Blunder brothers took notice. I think she should be given Brenda's job!

You guys all rock! Hugs all around. As for beagles, most beagles should not sleep in the garage. LuLu however is due pay back for waking me up in the middle of the night by repeatedly banging the door of the cabinet the milk bones were in. Jr. forced me to babysit LuLu for the weekend. LuLu is a spoiled sausage.

Please don't believe what she says, this is an ordinary case of sibling rivalry, she is jealous that Lulu is cuter than her pets. Lulu happens to be so cute, I think she would give Uno the show Beagle a run for his money. I pray a day will come when Marylou can not only come to accept Lulu into the family, but also grow to love her. Marylou's cats smell like urine and have fleas.

MY cats Jr? You have: one cat who is a pervert and rolls around in Troy June's underwear from the hamper; one cat with perennial tapeworms; one cat who is certifiably insane; and one cat who is brain damaged and sleeps in a bowl. Do NOT talk about my cats.

Yes, all of that is true, but your cats are still stinky and flea bitten.
Linderloo, Sr. has just suggested over the phone, that I put a MUZZLE on my Beagle, a MUZZLE Linderloo, can you imagine anything more criminal than a muzzle on a Beagle?

Beagles are very cute and sweet. Part of their charm is their sausage-ness if they are a little chubby. My poor old beagle Sherry would never think of biting. I cannot imagine that a beagle would ever need a muzzle, Mary Elena, don't be silly! Lulu sounds like a lovely little dog!

P.S. My Sherry has passed into the great dog beyond -- do you think that spikey Lisa could contact a dead dog?

Oh my gpd. LuLu is not sweet, she is an overindulged, barking lump who growls at you if you try to move her bloated little beagle body off the couch so you can sit down. LuLu also bites other dogs!

I have never seen Lisa contact animals, but she is very talented and I bet she could. I had a psychic channel my poor departed kitty Springsteen once. Spring thanked me for wrapping him in my mother's lace tablecloth as a burial shroud!

O.K., Lulu bit ONE dog in her life because that dog growled at her, we were just at the park and she touched noses and ran around with all the other dogs, she IS lovely Linderloo, I sware. If Lulu is laying in a particular spot on the couch I see no reason why she should have to move for a human, we treat all creatures equally at the June home, Lulu is encouraged to assert herself against relatives who don't like her!

Poor old Sherry, I'm sure she was very cute and sweet. Have you checked out Bideawee's web site lately Linderloo? There are a couple of Beagles up for adoption!

Jr.'s insanity is inherent in her lost entry, I don't think I have to add anything, except maybe that she'd like to discuss how her cats jump up and help themselves to food on the stove and on people's plates. Tell the chinese food story Jr, and/or the Roo baked ziti story! No good can come from pretending animals are human beings!

Jr. is allergic to pie and can't have any. I will take her piece.

The only pie I'm allergic to is stinky cat pie, otherwise I'm good to go. Buddy I was only speaking up for Lulu since she is unable to do it for herself, poor defensless little Beagle getting picked on by her cruel auntie and all. We just bought Drakes apple pies at the super market, I love artificial flavoring!( and liverwurst )
