Tuesday, April 25, 2017 – The State Gun

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 – The State Gun

I miss one day of Here’s What I’m Thinking only to learn The Lone Star State will soon have a state gun. It is a cannon. Not a handgun. Not a revolver. Not a pistol. Not a hunting rifle. But a cannon. Kinda gives “Don’t Mess With Texas” a new meaning, doesn’t it? And is the state gun subject to open carry? You know some East Montgomery County folks will want to carry their cannon to town.

Have a booming day and God Bless Texas.

Thursday, April 20, 2017 – 4.20

My apologies. Apparently my computer took off the entire day of 4.20 with technical difficulties. I just came back on online. Probably the Russians. Either the Russians caused all of the technical difficulties or I forgot to post something on HWIT.

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 – Back in the Bathroom Again.

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 – Back in the Bathroom Again.

The Governor of the state of Texas wants to address SB6 – AKA The Bathroom Bill. It is allegedly designed to protect children from transgender people who have to go to the bathroom by creating a different bathroom for somebody.

Personally, I am more concerned about needing protection from the heterosexuals in the bathroom or in the convenience store I happen to be in. I also have concerns about people who are paper certified crazy who can access guns, people running the public schools in general, people on the streets, people driving and talking/texting on the phone and a whole list of other issues that do not involved bodily functions.

Could the governments just leave our bodies and their functions alone? Doesn’t the state and country have enough issues without taking time and money to determine who urinates where?

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 – I Owe! I Owe! To the I-R-S I Owe!

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 – I Owe! I Owe! To the I-R-S I Owe! Do You Have Receipts? And Dwarfs? Dwarves?

If the plural of scarf is scarves, why isn’t the plural of dwarf dwarves? Perhaps it is.

Tax Prep Person to me yesterday: Do you have all of your legal drug receipts?

Me: Yes, Ma’am. I do.  One does not get receipts for your illegal drugs.

Just as the seven dwarfs sang while going to work in the mines (that would be the clean coal mines, with no insurance for black lung.)

I Owe! I Owe!

To the I-R-S – I Owe!

I ain’t got no deductibles so

I Owe! I Owe!

This is the actual letter I mailed to the IRS yesterday with my taxes and my voucher.

SUBECT:    Voucher Amount

To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is a check for $XXX. This is all of the money I am able to pay at this time. I shall anxiously await your multiple written communications and 35 or longer minutes on hold when I call to speak to a live person regarding additions to my existing payment plans.

Sincerely Yours,

 

Thursday, April 13, 2017 – Easter Photos from Long Ago.

Thursday, April 13, 2017 – Easter Photos from Long Ago.

Photo number – 1 – Isn’t my sister a cutie pie?

Photo number – 2 – Me! Let’s sit the baby on the hot metal car with the weird looking roof and wind shield and tube thing on the side. Be prepared to catch her if she falls.

Photo number – 3 – Taking rides on the giant Easter Bunny in Texas is something I have repressed. Here I am about to take off for a ride on the giant Easter bunny with a saddle. Very cute for a one two year old.

Photo number – 4 – Here is by sister Dale about to take off on her Easter bunny ride. Hysterical when you are fourteen and your sister posts it on her blog.

Once again. Why is my father standing next to the teenager when the closest person to the baby is my grandfather standing five feet away?

Have a save and blessed Easter.

Wednesday, April 12, 2017 – Finally Something Fun to WHOOP About.

Wednesday, April 12, 2017 – Finally Something Fun to WHOOP About.

HOWDY! The world news is about who is going to bomb whom and the WH Press Secretary continues to Splice history into a continued endless number of “What I meant was…” statements.  I decided to just skip on over to September and Texas Aggie football. I hope we are all still here to watch.

September 3 – @ UCLA – Bears will want revenge.

September 9 – Nicholls State – Do not be afraid of Kyle Field and The 12th Man. Although the crowd size is probably bigger than Thibodaux.

September 16 – LA-Lafayette – Remember Texas alcohol laws.

September 23 – Arkansas @ AT&T Stadium – The Hogs are always scary. But recruiting at Jerry World is fabulous.

September 30 – South Carolina – Uncle Will Muschamp might have found a home.

October 7 – Alabama – Jalen playing in his home state.

October 14 – @ Florida – Never yell for a team from Florida. Bad colors. Bad mascot.

October 28 – Mississippi State – May the team wearing maroon and white win!

November 4 – Auburn – A lovely autumn hair color.

November 11 – New Mexico -Tune up for Toddy and the Rebels.

November 18 – @ Ole Miss- Hotty Toddy, God Awmighty! Would so love to tailgate in The Grove and have my picture made with the William Faulkner statue on campus.

November 25 – @ LSU. So much more fun than tu and the burn orange on Thanksgiving. And much better food.

Texas Aggie Football – 135 more days! WHOOP!

Tuesday, April 11, 2017 – 11:01 PM – Barely, But Still Tuesday

Tuesday, April 11, 2017 – 11:01 PM – Barely, But Still Tuesday

I did not post a Here’s What I’m Thinking today. I started one, but was having difficulty finding something pleasant to write about. Even the weather was storming. So I took a nap.

When I woke up I tried again to post something. That was when I saw that WH Press Secretary Sean Spicer said “…Even Hitler did not use gas.” Sean, wherever you received your credentials and especially those in histories, please see if you or your parents can get their money back. Obviously, it was a waste of money because you are not displaying any learning that took place during that time or at any other part of your learning curve including today.

I took another nap.

While I am waiting for the pink moon, I decided to use the few remaining minutes and post something for Tuesday. I hope the pink moon is better.

 

Monday, April 10, 2017 – National Siblings Day!

Monday, April 10, 2017 – National Siblings Day!

Photo number one is my sibling with the sibling she got for her birthday in 1949. Photo number two is the siblings on the old one’s birthday in 2017. She refused to let me sit in her lap.  So glad she does not have internet at the moment.   Love you, Sibling.

Monday, April, 3, 2017 – Happy Birthday, Doris Day! A Cat Poem to Celebrate It.

Monday, April, 3, 2017 – Happy Birthday, Doris Day! A Cat Poem to Celebrate It.

Happy Birthday Doris Day! Thank you for all of the wonderful movies and for your advocacy for animals.

To celebrate here is a poem from my 2017 Wall Calendar by Fransesco Marciuliano called I Could Pee on This and Other Poems by Cats. Here is the poem for the month of April.

Paw on the Nose

When we’re alone

When I’m on your lap

When you’re telling me about your day

My paw on your nose once means

“I hear what you’re saying.”

My paw on your nose twice means

“I see what you mean.”

My paw on your nose three times means

“I hope this is the off switch.”

Thursday, March 30, 2017 – There Will Be a Delay

Thursday, March 30, 2017 – There Will Be a Delay

There will be a delay in the posting Here’s What I’m Thinking, until I have returned from a luncheon. Then I will post Here’s What I’m Eating. Stay tuned.

Items I am thankful for today:

  • I do not have Sean Spicer’s job.
  • I do not work in Assessment at TEA.
  • I do not work at all.
