RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Tell me about your new pal Ruby Smilie
breed
how many hands
what color
blaze
She is a 10yr old chesnut or sorrel, white strip on her face, 15.1 hands, reg. quarter, who is finished at western pleasure. She is at the trainer's getting a tune up and working on the english pleasure too. I will prob keep her there a month then bring her home. At least it is only 20 min. away. I need lessons on her while she is there too. Gotta learn each othernod
Im happy but when I wrote the man a check for her I burst into tears out of nowhere. Surprised me too. The man and his wife who are professional trainers, breeders, etc. didnt know what to think. Wife almost cried. lol Tater popped into my mind. Showed them his pics. Keep thinking I will never have another horse like him. I think Ruby will be a good one though. Thanks for asking.hug

LMAO you are so funny Angie

FYI for those thinking about Popp....many are still without power in his area. Those people are not happy with Pepco...the MD area power co. Other companies are helping, even some from NC.
Hope this experience convinces them that they DO need to upgrade the power lines and stuff. They are talking about here, if a block goes out having it reroute to another route so everyone down the line isnt without power. That would be great for wintertime. Always hear about large areas of electricity outages in the North East

Need someone to come dig my holes for me so I can plant my roses!!!! Never had so much trouble digging a dang hole before, and I tried digging my own swimming pool when I was 12!!!! Keep hitting rocks and roots!!! Soil test my dad had done a few years ago says I dont need bone meal but manure will be helpful and Im using some epsom salt in the soil, If I ever get it deep enough!!! Decided to put the pink ones on either side of the front porch. They arent climbers but they get 8' tall and 3 feet wide so they will look good there! Got one of 4 red climbers for along the rock wall/fence. Its a Don Juan but I want Red Blaze. Think since the Don Juan grows slower and shorter I will plant it on the end where the wall tappers down the hill. Have to watch not to plant it too close since there is a drive plus our driveway. Sister i blind as a bat to begin with!!!! Hate it when people block the veiw of drivers and they have to pull real far out.
The roses were my grandmas pride and joy. She had the blaze so thats why I ant them. Want them to symbolize my love for her and "our" family. She was my babysitter for a long time and I spent so much time here as a kid. Want the 4 roses to be for her, my grandpa, my sister and me. Brian was really close to her and I have a sneaky suspicion that he was her favorite. We were NOT allowed in the kitchen with her and had to sit quietly and just watch. Brian got to jabber away ( like anyone could stop him!) And she wanted him right there with her wherever she was!!! Think in a way she was reliving being a grandma and she knew it was her last! Plus.... He idolized her more than we did and that was alot!!! He actually made a kid run off crying one time because he said his Memo was better and laid out the argument supporting his claim. Poor kid ran home crying that Brians Memo was better than his and he wanted her to be his Memo too!!!
Thanks to Walmarts out of season sales. I have half of the flowers I want for the yard and saved about. $600!!! Place should have some color back next spring!!! YAY!!! Cant wait to pick my first Spring bouquet!

Don't know about the hair but she was right on with the fish and coffee grounds ! Decaying fish is an excellent all round fertilizer, and coffee grounds are slightly acidic and contain some nitrogen and other nutrients

had to laugh about some similes between FF & people popping in & out since we started this.
Oh My Hahahaha, How true is that. Yes, We've had our share of 'Ed Sawyers'. Too funny when Andy uses the phone, I had forgotten but Mayberry's person in charge of communication is Serra, Just like us. LMAOOO
