Free Stuff

don't you just love it. I get all giddy and high when I get good free stuff. The adrenalin rush is better then a good 2 for 1 sale. Last week Hairball and I were driving down our street when I seen two large bags full of beer and soda tins. They were sitting at the curb as it was garbage day. I don't know about where you live but here beer tins pay 10- cents each and soda tins 5 cents a piece. I tell Hairball turn around I want to grab those empty's. He pulls a u-turn at the nest street and we drive back. Just as he pulls up to the curb a lawn waste pick-up truck is pulling in from the other direction. I race out and scoop the two bags up in front of the guy. He say's I wanted those and I gave a gleeful chuckle and said but I have them. hahahaha I think I was chuckling for the rest of the afternoon and it still brings a smirk to my face as I write this now. Incidentaly I gave the empty's to Nevada and Kaikoa and the totalled $25.60.

Then this Saturday while Hairball is out garbage saleing he sees this pile of allenblocks at the end of a driveway. He askes the lady what she is doing with them and she just wants to get rid of them. Well you can probably guess the story from here. He drives home hooks up the utility trailer and ends up bringing home two trailers full. We have been building retaining walls all week behind our property terracing it down to the river.

Well how was your free week... This isn't our wall just so you get the idea

I sure can talk the talk

but I definitely don't walk the walk.

Me and the old hairball have been together over 26 years. I figured maybe I could surprise him in the you know where. So I get it in my mind to go and check out the local lingerie shop. The sign outside the door was a big set of pink lips and I figured we're a small town it must be a nice tasteful shop full of slips and nighties . Well was my face red..... In the outer part of the store (not the secret back room down two hallways, we'll get to that later), were all these I am not even sure what part of the body they were meant to be worn on. I tried to bring humour into the situation something I frequently do when uncomfortable or embarrassed. "Hey I'll take something in black leather with whips please" The salesclerk doesn't crack a smile and asks what size, geesh I was just kidding. One rack was full of fantasy roll-playing outfits. Ever hear of Supergirl? It's not the same as the one from the Marvel comics.

Then she asks if I would like to see the back room, sure I say thinking its probably got all the nice nighties back there. well lets just say there were no items of clothing back there at all. I have never seen so many things I didn't have any idea of how to use or who would use them. I did get a laugh at the glow in the dark nipple covers.... I guess thats just in case you forget where they are located maybe slipping a bit farther south..... Then the problem came of how to leave the shop without running into anyone I know. I can hear the talk around town ' Guess who I saw coming out of a sex shop" psstt pstt psst...

Well that was my Friday the 13th how was yours...

Entry for April 04, 2007

What is wrong with these fish??? I'l give you a hint, they are doing the back stroke. Poor little guys went to the watery grave in the sky. Their tank was looking a little cloudy so we decided to do a spring cleaning on the tank. We moved the little suckers into an icecream bucket and cleaned and bleached all the tank parts even their cute little treasure chest. We refilled the tank with fresh water and let it sit for a couple of days. One would think all the bleach residue would have dissappated by this time. Well after returning nevada gold fish (12.5 cents at the pet store) and silver river fish (caught in river behind our house last summer) they both succombed to the water and were pronounced dead about 15 minutes after transfer. So good by my little swimming friends may you meet little Nemo and all your aquatic buddies.......
