An unwanted visitor

Dear Brown Recluse Spider:

Hanging out in my shower is not good. Especially after I just spent an hour fighting with a lawn mower in heat and humidity, with grass stuck all over my lower extremities.

There is a reason why I wear heavy soled shoes. The only good spider (in my house) is a dead one.

Sorry (but not really, because I'm sure one of your relatives will come and take your place soon enough no matter how much I clean).

Sincerely not,

Thank you for smoking

Dear Patients,

Yes, I'm not talking about the movie, I'm just talking about what I see at the Hotel Rehab.

By spending lots of money on cigarettes, you are, in a roundabout way, financing my house, car and Bubba's college education. Thanks so much.

Here's how.

1. Smoking impairs wound healing, according to studies. You sign a contract at the Hotel saying you won't smoke, so what do you expect, when I see you out on the front lawn, with your visitors and your IV pole, talking and taking long drags?

And BTW, some of those studies mentioned above say that smokers get impaired absorption and effectiveness of some drugs, too. Dr. Z will not give you the flap of your dreams if you're not compliant.

2. And word to the wise, Mr. S.: Don't be lying to that person who's calling you to help you, and who needs you to be abstinent of tobacco.When note after note says you were outside smoking, who do you think he/she's gonna believe? (He/she can read our notes)

3. And if either one of you two idiots smoke outside my window again, I can and will water my plant on the windowsill. That darned gravity is crazy on the second floor.

Cheers, love and good wishes (you may want to wear a raincoat),

Summertime

Yes, it's here again...hazy, hot, and humid.

Bubba's getting ready to go fishing with his kiddie pole with the scouts and Dahey and I are figuring out what has to get done before the heat of the day comes...to mow or not to mow. That is the question today.

And I decide to add a theme that looks a bit more summery, thanks to the new template designer in blogger. Has me wanting to hit the road again...maybe the boys will decide we need to take a little road trip.

More later...stay tuned.
