    True, true, true!!!

    So far back onto the Back 40 Blackbird is----the only thing he can hear is "Wilderness"------and the CSX locomotives pulling their railcars up and down the track between Birmingham and Atlanta!!!! So you see??? It all "Pans" out!!! We're a quarter mile away from the in-laws----sweet glory!!!! And we're also a quarter mile away from the CSX Railroad----we can hear the locomotive's signal horn at various crossings along the way---but we can't hear the inlaws "snore"----good tradeoff!!!! What'chu think????

    I know exactly what you mean blackbird. I bought my MIL a new yellow convertible for her birthday. [Walmart had brooms on sale.] Kind of brings new meaning to the term "stick-shift." :saint:

    I will have you know that my MIL was a real knockout...before electricity that is. :laugh:

    I think she's a bit upset because I said I wasn't getting her anything for her birthday this year, because she never used what I gave her last year...last year I gave her a Cemetery lot for her birthday. :eek: :smilewinkgrin:

    FOG, I know what you mean about your MIL not using her present. I bought my MIL a new chair for Christmas, but she still hasn't plugged it in. I was talking to a friend the other day and he said that his MIL is an angel. I told him, "You're lucky. Mine's still alive."

    Thanks to you all talented writers! Yes, you!

    Does fighting the urge to put a pillow over her face when she's sleeping count as combat?

    We would but Blackbird doesn't speak English.



    Speechless. Absolutely speechless. :applause:

    I remember watchin' a NASCAR race on TV once---------and I started to doze off in the recliner----it was one of those "Twilight Zone" naps where I could hear "buzzin'" like chain saws or a thousand bees gathering Necter from a bloomin' Plum tree type nap!!!!!

    Dude!!! Blackbird is tellin' ya----it was a weird race!!!!

    For the last 2 or 3 weeks, preacher has been doing a series on Noah and the Flood. This morning, we had somebody else preaching, and preacher also said that he wouldn't be doing a flood message next week on Easter. He said, "I wouldn't preach a message about the flood on Easter anymore than I would preach about Hell on Mother's Day." Here's my exact thought once he said that.

    "He saves the messages about Hell for Mother In Law Day."

    If I'm lying, I'm dying......

    The MIL is visiting for the weekend. Mark off one perfectly good weekend shot to pieces to begin with. She walked through the door yesterday afternoon and hasn't shut the pie hole once! She talks in her sleep for crying out loud. Now get this....

    I'm snoozing on the end of the couch watching the boys run at Bristol. Broom Hilda wakes me up to ask if I usually take a nap on Sunday afternoon. "I don't know," says I. "Do you usually turn blue when someone has their hands around your neck?"

    I threatened her; really I did. I told her if she ever did that again she would be able to tell her friends how many ounces my can of "Whoop-backside" holds.

    I'll write more later after they get me in my cell at Sing-Sing.
