Now i see why so many of my grade school teachers kept telling me to follow the instructions for the assignment.

"What'd you do for summer?"

Cincinnati is the capital of Clevland
Canada is the biggest state in the country, but don't tell that to anybody from Arkansas.
The Polar bears up in Antarctica eat Penguins.
The Emperor Penguin is the biggest Penguin at the north pole. Everyone knows that!


Why didn't I get an A on that assignment? Mean teacher!

Marshall. living as you do, you are probably further removed from First World Problems than the rest of us. But "I have to watch girls in bikinis all summer long" is a start. ;)

Oh yea! Now I get it!!!

The lake is so low right now the docks are laying on the lake bed and the campers had to take their boats home.

I have to make my own tinder and kindling and firewood for my woodstove. The tinder is sliced and shredded repurposed old redwood. The kindling is two year old (minimum) small pieces of fir and or bark. Firewood is Oak, Fir, and Madrone. There should be a small stash of Manzanita under my third stack for when it gets cold. Saving the best for last.

I have to ...scratch that...

I get to watch the bikini clad women as they go to their boats and the docks. Rough job but someone gets to do it. :D

I still didn't do the wordology right!

:th

You're getting there, Marshall. How about "I have to clear-cut the rare orchids around my place so my imported grass can grow."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'd never clearcut the Orchids!

There is no lawn around my cabin. Too much shade, nut you gave me an idea...Maybe I should go and carefully get 500 of those Calypso Orchids and transplant them all around my cabin. Right now I only have about a dozen. I'll know how many when they each put up their one maybe two small rounded leaves, which should be any time now. They are die back short lived perennials that die back after flowering in spring and go dormant during summer. Also, most folks don't know to transplant them with all the natural mulch around them. They live semi symbiotic with the Fir trees and soil fungi.

I really got a visual of an Orchid lawn!!!

Sometimes a typo is so awesome! In the post above I typed NUT where it should have been BUT. I'm leaving that tyop!

These laptop keyboards are designed for skinny little elves...

1. I wore my Garth Brooks CD out by playing it too much.
2. Dog peed all over the floor.
3. I've got a history assignment due after thanksgiving break.
4. We babysit every Friday.
5. My sister dropped a glass on the kitchen's marble floor.

I can't think of anymore for the moment. Am I doing this right? :/
