The Shed 3

Sorry I got so behind everyone! Been depressed and busy and stuff.

It was awesome to come back here and see more of the story. Thanks Tom! That was great!!! And all the beautiful wolf images from Wis and our Mighty Shadow Wolf Lord Pheonix!

Pheonix, is your son diabetic? I'm so sorry if you mentioned the reason in the past. I have been so scatter brained lately it's horrible. My Husband has to see a kidney specialist. I fear he too will one day end up on dialysis. My heart goes out to you in your pain and for your Son. It seems so many of our wonderful sheddites are suffering from one thing or another. And yeah that getting older thing sucks. If we aren't suffering with something ourselves, someone we love is going through something. It is frustrating and sad. Big sigh...

I often wish that the shed was a real life place where we could go and find our solace. I mean, like down the street, not online. LOL Everyone gathered together in a big garden or by the ocean or somewhere nice, having a meal and drinks and meeting magical beings and stuff. I will read your link tomorrow if I haven't already read it in the past. Tired and sore right now.

I love you all! Just had to say that.

That is just like that "Irish Wristwatch" one!!!! (tongue twister!)

You know what TNM - I'm Scottish, (and we're very close cousins to the Irish), and we don't seem to have any problem saying "Irish Wristwatch"??? I've asked about 4 or 5 people so far, and none of us have had any problem saying it??

Maybe an accent thing?? Strange!

Gordi that is not photo shopped, is it? Who came up with that or did the universe just tinker a little?

LOL - no photoshop!
I re-created the ATS logo in a graphics package on my computer, with some subtle changes! and used that as the basis for the design I sent to the T-Shirt company. I then got them to Print it large across the chest of the guys shirts, and Embroider it small on the girls shirts! (I told my guests that it was a keepsake present for their trip, but it was really so I could find them in the crowds in their BRIGHT GREEN SHIRTS!!! LOL)

PS - I just read your comment asking about Chrissie being worried and about women loving to pamper!!!
Uhm... She mentioned that I should really have gone to the Doc by now. That was about it.
On the pampering front.... uhm... nope. That ain't gonna happen in my house.
It's more like Every man for himself!

e.g. - When I started making that Golden Milk stuff, I asked her if she'd like to try it too... so now (although I'm the one who's been ill) I'm making it for both of us!
It's just the way we are I suppose.

Good Morning Everyone.

Today is "National Oreo Cookie Day"

Let us all take advantage of this day and indulge in chocolate goodness.



This is what we will be having later today. Come join us.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Gordi, Gordi, Gordi.

Don't you know that us women know what is best for you.

I agree. You really should go see the Doc. If you have the means to do so. DO IT!!!!

I was not BSing about that young guy who died at the shop. He left his wife with 4 small children and not alot of money to get by with. Thankfully she has strong family ties that will care for her and the kids.

It might not seem like it, but your wife and children look up to you and depend on you for your strength and security.

Don't be a stubborn fool. Show your boys it is a strong man who takes care of himself. And it is not being a sissy to go the Doctor.

When I was growing up it was my father who cared for me. He was everything to me. And I looked up to him. He would take me to doctor with him. I watched him get shots, have moles removed and other scary stuff for a little kid. (No, I was not around for the bend over and cough things) LOL!!!
But he taught me not to be afraid, and to seek out professional help if I needed it.

When he passed, I didn't hesitate to contact my pcp and set up a meeting to just talk about how I felt and how to get though the saddness.

Enough of this serious stuff.

Go play with your wife and kids. And drink your Golden Milk.

And make these for desert tonight.


And then have some of this. Just a wee bit.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

I'm almost positive that you are just superhuman beings with impeccable enunciation skills!

Either that or....every time I've tried to say it I've been somewhat sauced...LOL

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Morning Bird,

Hows life in the south? I see you folks are gonna have more bad weather this week.

That's one of the reason's I wanted to get out of Illinios. Come spring I was a nervous wreck. There was alway's one tv on in the house with the weather channel on. I have seen tornado's and we had one touch down about a mile from our home.

Not that we can't get them where I am at now, but the chance's are less. Now I just have to worry about Peleated Woodpeckers dropping tree's on my house. LOL!!!!

Hope your having a fun day. Eat lot's of cookies today.

a reply to: crappiekat

Good morning!

It has been beautiful lately, the weather, come mid week or so we will pay....LOL

There was a tornado a few years back that killed a few people. You can still see the path through the woods. It was a smaller one, I think, maybe a 2 or maybe a 3. I can't remember.

I saw your post about Oreo Cookie Day... I suppose I will have to go out and get the girls some...between that and the girl scout cookies...we will have to hike EVERYDAY!!!

LOL

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Those semoas cookies from the Girl scouts are sooooo good. I get one box for me and two boxes for the family. They don't last long. I tried to put them in the freezer once. Still only lasted 2 days. LOL!!!

Are you watching this Presidental election stuff. Crazy days!!! I have been trying to just watch the weather channel, but it's like a slow motion train wreck. You just can't stop watching. LOL!!!

I can hike and eat cookies at the same time.

a reply to: crappiekat

YESSSS! About the election crap!
I don't know what we've come to or how we got there!

My thin mints stay in the freezer (they really are much better cold!) but, that doesn't stop me.

I just can't resist those little cute cookie pushers in front of the stores...!!! I am weak!

The old man is a die hard Hillary fan but, he LOVED Bill! Makes for some, shall we say, interesting dinner conversation. Usually leaves me with an upset stomach so, we've sworn off politics as dinner discussion.

It's basketball season again, for us, so...hopefully we won't have to have dinner together very often...at least not again until June! LOL

a reply to: TNMockingbird

LOL!!!!!!!!

OMG, You made me spit out my tea. I remember those day's. My husband was not much of a politico, but man when he got something in his craw, I would magically have evening school stuff to do. LOL!!

Make dinner early and drive away real fast to church. My solace.

Good morning, or night, depending on where you are, denizens of the Shed. I crawled out from under my rock for a bit to say hi. I hope you're all well.

a reply to: Skid Mark

Good Night OR....is it morning?!

I liked your last entry...cracked me up...forgot to mention it before.

Hope you and your lady friend are getting on well.

Have you learned any new phrases?

"May I have your daughter's hand in marriage?" Perhaps?

a reply to: Skid Mark

Hi Skid,

Ohhh, I missed it. Are we gonna have a shed wedding?

Careful, Remember the squirrel.

So, I stepped away to put on a pot of beans...
The old man, being born and raised in the South, LOVES his pinto beans with ham and onion.
Stew 'em all day.
Then mash some taters and pat out some "cat head" biscuits, maybe I'll go to the store and get him some greens!
With a tall glass of sweet tea, he will be putty in my hands tonight!

The kids will want pizza, of course!

LOL

"We'll let him tell you," the dragon said.

"Well, where do we have to go? Anywho, what am I doing here and how do I get back?," Skid Mark asked.

"You'll see," the pixie said. "I'm Trix, by the way."

"And I'm Dougie," said the dragon.

Skid Mark bowed down in a deep flourish and said, "I'm Skid Mark the Clown." A loud blast erupted from his ass and he chuckled. The seat of his pants tore while he was bowing. "Damn," he said. "I liked those pants." He reached in the pile of clothes on the floor and pulled out a pair that was less stained than the others. "These will do." Ignoring the interlopers, he dropped his pants and put the other pair on, but not before they saw the brown stain on the seat of his yellowed underwear.

"I see you live up to your name," Trix said.

"What's that supposed to mean," Skid Mark asked. "Hey hand me my Night Train. I want a hit before we set off to see your friend. The sooner we find out what's going on, the sooner I can start working again."

OMG, Good laugh.

I want to say, I have enjoyed your entries. They bring a special pop to the story and gives me a laugh and a smile when I read them

a reply to: TNMockingbird

OK Bird, ya gotta tell me, what are "cathead" biscuits ?

My family is from the south and I have never heard that phrase.

Dang hurry up and reply.

a reply to: crappiekat
Thanks. Writing humor is actually new to me.

a reply to: crappiekat

LOL!

It's a phrase that only THEY use...I never heard of it either...LOL

When you make these big, huge, just short of misshapen biscuits...

a reply to: Skid Mark

Well, your good at it.

Don't stop
