This last winter, the light bulb finally died. Year after year, I would marvel at how the light bulb lasted and wondered if I should start placing bets as to when it would finally go dark. The entire time I’ve lived here, the closet that is at the end of my hallway has had the same light bulb, and that is not because I’ve been trying to save it by responsibly turning the lights off after I was done digging in there for something. Snippet #3: They Don’t Make Things the Way They Used To. This is how one might pronounce “steamed vegetables” if a person held his head over a boiling pot of water for a few seconds and then had to speak immediately afterward. Just in case you needed a side dish for any of these wonderful meals, may I suggest the following? Heck – NONE OF THESE THINGS should go with the word “shellfish.”
One of these things is not like the other.
Want more? OK, get ready for this scrumptious dessert: But that’s not even the worst of it:Īt least they got the spacing right this time. How many poor, inexperienced souls have spent way too long in the baking aisle, looking for “chuck roast flour”?īut, wait! There’s more! For the low, low price of $19.95, you get THIS:įirst, the phonetic spelling of Por Kloin. How, then, did no one proofreading this booklet know that “bailecue” is not a word? Also – a 1/2 pound of ribs? Is this for a party of one? I know the directions are cut off, but you can see that for the most part, they use pretty good English.
The accessories came with a book of recipes that I have a vague suspicion were not written by a native speaker. I received a box of Instant Pot accessories for Christmas because I love, love, LOVE my Instant Pot. Snippet #2: Tell me you’re not a native speaker of English without actually telling me you’re not a native speaker. If I had any doubts that these tacks had spent decades shoved in the back of a supply closet somewhere, those disappeared in no time: Here’s the box:īut the best part is when I turned the box over. I am a geek for old fonts and just old office supplies in general, so I picked it up and thought vaguely about permanently “borrowing” it – until I remembered that I had about 82954 tacks in my desk drawer already that randomly spill out all over the place and annoy me. This last school year as I was standing in the break room, making copies, I looked down and was amused by this ancient box of tacks that was sitting with the rest of the supplies. I deleted a healthy bunch of it, but there were a few snippets in there that I thought were worth sharing. as I was saying before, I was cleaning off my phone and marveling at the vast array of stuff I have accumulated over the past year or so. However, this sunflower adds a nice little element to the pond, and I hope it stays blooming for quite some time. The deer have managed to get some chomps in when I have gone too many days between applications, and I am sure the rabbits are responsible for their part of the damage as well. I sprinkle it pretty generously all over the yard and plants, and it seems to have worked, for the most part. That is how I have been trying to combat the deer this year – with garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Never mind that yellow stuff all over the leaves. I have a few volunteer sunflowers this year that are growing and the tallest recently started blooming, so now I have a beautiful sunflower towering over the pond. Right now the flowers around the pond are almost all in bloom and the deer have largely left them alone this year – with a couple of exceptions – so I am enjoying the spray of colors. I enjoyed not one but two cups of coffee out there this morning, trying to soak up the still and calm. It was cool, there was no breeze, and it was just as perfect as it could be. Sitting by the pond this morning was quite pleasant. No, I do not think I have that much power. It’s almost like I complained and Mother Nature went, “Oh! Sorry.
#A DANCE OF FIRE AND ICE CHROME WINDOWS#
The temps at night have been getting down in the 60s, so the first thing I do in the morning is open the windows and throw the fans on. Odd - after I started off my last post complaining about how JULY it was, we have been gifted with a week of mild weather.
I figured that it might - just might - be the dozens of videos that I had on my phone from all the various Elvis gigs I’ve gone to, so I started to sort through them this morning as I was sitting by the pond. After a few years’ worth of use, my phone has finally started to tell me that it’s running out of space.
