JENNY, JAMIE AND THE LITTLE ASSHOLE




The 4Th of July was a good day...I asked the girls to come over for a BBQ....they came..It was fun and I enjoyed it so much..I had BBQ chicken,potato salad, deviled eggs,Bush's BBQ beans(damn they're good)and garlic bread.(which


I didn't burn).I had bought a bag of chips too, but forgot to put it out..Made ice tea, and had cherry vanilla Dr.Pepper..meant to get regular DP but got the wrong one..but ended up being a good thing as Jamie loves cvdp..good on me..


They were 'starving' and we had a nice dinner..Well, it would have been nice if Little Asshole hadn't tried to climb up in their plates..I bought out the spritzer and they cracked up laughing..all he had to do is see it and he took off running down the hall way..They thought he was so cute..but they found out really fast why he is called Little Asshole.(Jamie used to have a cat named Twat..so bad names for animals runs in the family)It was a steady stream of 'oh, he's so cute..damn, he bit me.'...'how pretty he is grandma...ouch..he scratched the inside of my mouth.'...To make it even better, his beautiful blue eyes have turned a yellow green...so he truly is a green-eyed monster...


I finally got all the pictures into albums and they went through them to pick out ones they wanted copies of..Jenny is putting together a assortment of pictures of Jason's grandpa and my Daddy..who is her great grandpa..I kept trying to get her to take pictures of me and Daddy or Daddy and the boys and me...she said.."NO, I just want your Daddy."..which had me muttering 'bitch' a lot..we were giggling and insulting each other..They were a little surprised at one picture of me where I weighed no more than 85 lbs, I was about 18 years old..you could actually see my hip bones poking through my slacks..hurmph..those days are long gone..I don't know about them..but I had a great day...I know they were full and left laughing..They were going to go watch fireworks.


I got to hear them up close and personal as some nut job in the apts, next to us were shooting off firecrackers all night long...scared the crap out of the cats..well, nothing scares Little Asshole but did send him under the bed a couple of times..


We are still getting rain..we're pushing 40 inches of rain...some places in Texas have had over 44 straight days of rain..some one put a call in to Noah..I keep singing that song by Johnny Cash..."How highs the water Daddy...?...


6 feet high and rising."..All this rain has brought out the mosquito's, and allergies which is pissing me off..between the itching of bites and sneezing..I'm not a happy camper...One good thing is the smog is better..not that we have a lot in West, but Dallas does..so that's a plus..Something that was pretty scary was a article about the rain.A half inch of rain is now 9 inches in terms of impact on a community.


Casualties:12 dead, five missing.


Counties declared federal disaster areas:6


homes destroyed in 6 counties assessed:1,000


National guard deployed:260(the rest are on the borders.America and Iraq.)


Last time all river basins were at flood stage:1957(we have 13 rivers ..all are flooded)


counties heavily impacted by flooding:49,covering 48,440 square miles and 6 million residents.


Good Hair Perry has issued state disaster declarations for 44 counties...


( I think Sooner and Tex just floated by..)Oklahoma is getting the same kind of weather we are getting..so we pissed off the same weather Goddess..Welp...that's all the Jackiesue news for now...

I can't even think of the last time it rained here. Everything has turned brown now. Your bbq sounded wonderful, you've made me hungry!

Sooner told me this would be a good time to push someone you don't like into the river. I've been driving back and forth between town and the river all day!

I'm glad you had a good 4th and I'm REALLY glad the Goddess decided to send a little rain over our way. We're still way behind normal (well, I'm alway way beyond normal!) but we're getting hit or miss showers most days. My grass is green, the flowers decided to come out and the crabgrass has taken over my flowerbeds!

I went camping in the national forest to get away from all the monkeys and noise. I'll start posting about it in the morning.

Fuck you until you float? Hum, as a master mechanic I can assure you that it would require some kind of a check valve in order to keep the air in you from escaping while more was being pumped in to you.

Unless of course he is an air compressor. LOL.

Ah fuck it, it's just my sense of humor. Hugs.

I can't believe I came out here at 6 this morning and forgot to leave a comment.
I just keep getting a picture of a rushing wall of water flowing south into Mexico carrying all sorts of Texas NEOCONS and illegal aliens along with it.
The people with more moderate political views are smart enough to get in out of the rain.
My 4th consisted of me sitting like a lump in my chair trying to work up enough energy to give a damn. I hate summer holidays. That's because I end up working myself half to death so people have buns for their wienies and burgers.
Look out world! I am now on vacation! Look out Florida I be coming to the panhandle for a few days! Going to visit some friends near Ft. Walton Beach. I feel the urge to piss in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Little Asshole just doesn't want to share you with anyone. She also is making sure her scratching post (you) can't find anyone willing to take her home with them.
Heavy rain is scary stuff. We have been fairly dry here this year. The building I work in is in a low area. In 98 we had 4 1/2 feet inside the building and I had to drive 30 miles to work in another branch for the week before the 4th. Two years ago we only got about 3 feet in the building.
Have to check out my old laptop tonight so I can keep in touch while I visit the land of Alligators and Palmetto bugs.

We could use rain here. Why doesn't the goddess even out the rain a little? You, too much. Us, not enough.

OK that's my question for the goddess.

Wish I could have a time like that! Makes me miss my old friends the Crazy Lesbian Couple even more. They to used to live in the mountains in a trailer and had barbecues and parties a lot. Then they moved to the city to get careers and I lost touch with them. Sad.
We could use some rain here too!
I wish the Goddess would drop a personal meteorite on the troll.

40 inches? Shoo! I can't even imagine... the last big rain we had here in Indiana was around three years ago, I don't know the total rainfall but the Wabash crested at 26.5 feet...
