Now you reminded me of another joke. Guess I'll go over to the humor thread and post it.

At my age I don't sleep for long at a time. Just sleep in fits and starts. Usually nap for an hour or so at mid day.

This drought reminds me of a joke I once heard. During the dust bowl days a man was standing outside when a few drops of rain started to fall. He shouted out, " Sarrah get them young'uns out here quick. I done tole 'em about rain but I don't think they believed me"

She should visit California. We need someone who is long raining.

If you have trouble with bitter celery you might try Chinese celery. It has a thinner stem but takes more heat without turning bitter. You can also try blanching it. Just cover it with a box or bucket to keep off the sunlight. In just a few days it turns yellow and usually loses the bitter...

Potbellies were developed in Southeast Asia as a way of converting food scraps into pork.They have such friendly personalities though that here in the US they invariably end up as a family pet. It's awfully hard to kill an animal that follows you around like a dog.

For celery to taste good it needs cool wet weather. In hot weather it gets bitter. There isn't much nourishment in it but it's indispensable in some recipes. Stew just isn't the same without it.

When it comes to Alzheimers it's either laugh or cry; like the time my wife collected all the cheap flatware and hid it under the sofa cushions so burglars wouldn't steal it. Good thing I found it before I sat down. I could have ended up with a fork in a delicate place. :th

That girl is in danger. She's exactly what a child predator is looking for.

Two women were having coffee together and the subject of her husbands Alzheimers came up. "You know" said one," He said the strangest thing to me. He said when he went to pee God turned on the light for him" "DAMN IT! He peed in the refrigerator again"

I used to have skunks around my cabin almost every day. Just speak softly and don't make any sudden moves and you won't get sprayed. The odd thing is most skunks are quite friendly and actually like being around people.

The problem I have is that my rat patrol (half wild cats) keeps eating my alligator lizards. They are the only local predator that keeps the snails under control.

I'm sad to say it but I have no tomatoes or peppers in my garden at all this year due to our drought. I don't feel right growing anything that needs that much water. I'm only growing a few greens.

Best laugh I've had today. Thanx

Just a note; occasionally you run across a recipe that calls for green garlic. In case you wonder what that is it is harvested soon after the clove buds and before it begins to divide. The time for harvesting them is short since division begins quickly. Green garlic is always used fresh. It has...

That's why I prefer the Sunset zones to the official zones. They take a lot more factors into consideration.

Sumac is what they call a pioneer plant; one of the first to regrow after an area has been burned over or otherwise disturbed. It helps hold things together and shades the new growth of more permanent trees (oaks, ash - whatever trees are native to your area.) It needs a lot of light so once...

love jalapenos but let's face it. I'd eat an old sneaker if it was wrapped with crispy bacon. :clap

Poison sumach is a separate species. It has stiff hairs on the branches that sting if they touch you like stinging nettle but unlike the nettle the sting doesn't go away rather quickly. The poison sumach hairs remain imbedded in your skin and can cause a severe rash like poison ivy. I have a...

Borrow a few goats. They'll mow it down for you.
