MY BUDDY! Merry Christmas!!!!
I Don't have time for this! Every year, I CAREFULLY, Lovingly wind up and wrap up my perfectly working Christmas lights, and store them in an airtight container. Every year, without fail, when I unwind them, and plug them in to see "How" they're working, I'm faced with
"Christmas Lights Insubordination." Some of the strands don't light at all. Some of the strands have a few "punk" lights, that ruin the whole strand, by refusing to light, and giving the rest of the strand that "Dim Wit" appearance. Some strands try to "fake me out," by "PRETENDING" to be cooperative, and
pass inspection, only to "punk out," and not light, AFTER they're hung! Today, I went through same the scenario as last year, just what I described above. I had to haul my fanny down to Walgreen's and buy NEW lights, AGAIN! I don't have time for that! I'm too busy making my Christmas gifts right now! I have jars of salsa to produce, apple butter to process, cookies to bake, my "famous" Peanut-Butter Num-Nums (they shame Reese's) and my blissful Rum Balls. I had an ENORMOUS ball of lights to throw away, too cumbersome to carry, but a delight to KICK- all the way to the TRASH PILE!
Bye-Bye, PUNK LIGHTS!
Here's what we're having at my house!

Our "new" Florida Long Horned Cows arrived today. 3 heifers, 2 with calves "on the ground," and one soon to deliver. They DO NOT appreciate ANYONE coming into THEIR pasture, and wouldn't give a second thought to putting one of their 2 1/2 foot horns right up your wazoo. They are an "excellent added security system," if ever there was one! Of course, it's also ONE more step for our family to become INDEPENDENT from commercial meat. We already have a freezer stocked with venison, bear, turkey and 'gator. I barter with my neighbor for her goat-cheese, and either grow my own vegetables and herbs or get them from local farmer's markets. Shortly, we'll have fresh beef. I'm looking forward to becoming less and less dependent on the grocery store in the future.

"Southern Women"
This was sent to me by the wife of my dear friend,
jfore.
Southern women appreciate their natural assets:
Clean skin.
A winning smile.
That unforgettable Southern drawl.
Southern women know their manners:
'Yes, ma'am.'
'Yes, sir.'
'Why, no, Billy!'
Southern women have a distinct way with fond expressions :
'Y'all come back!'
'Well, bless your heart.'
'Drop by when you can.'
'How's your Momma?'
Southern women know their summer weather report:
Humidity
Humidity
Humidity
Southern women know their vacation spots:
The beach
The rivuh
The crick
Southern women know the joys of June, July, and August:
Colorful hi-heel sandals
Strapless sun dresses
Iced sweet tea with mint
Southern women know everybody's first name:
Honey
Darlin'
Shugah
Southern women know the movies that speak to their hearts:
Fried Green Tomatoes
Driving Miss Daisy
Steel Magnolias
Gone With The Wind
Southern women know their religions:
Baptist
Methodist
Football
Southern women know their country breakfasts:
Red-eye gravy
Grits
Eggs
Country ham
Mouth-watering homemade biscuits with momma's homemade jelly
Southern women know their cities dripping with Southern charm:
Chawl'stn
S'vanah
Foat Wuth
N'awlins
Addlanna
Southern women know their elegant gentlemen:
Men in uniform.
Men in tuxedos
Rhett Butler
Southern girls know their prime real estate:
The Mall
The Country Club
The Beauty Salon
Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins:
Having bad hair and nails
Having bad manners
Cooking bad food
More Suthen-ism's:
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't 'HAVE' them, you 'PITCH' them.
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up 'a mess.'
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of 'yonder.'
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long 'directly' is, as in: 'Going to town, be back directly.'
Even Southern babies know that 'Gimme some sugar' is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
All Southerners know exactly when 'by and by' is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well. Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin! Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference
Between 'right near' and 'a right far piece.' They also know that 'just down the road' can be 1 m ile or 20. Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and Po white trash. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn. A Southerner knows that 'fixin' can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, .. And when we 're 'in line,' . We talk to everybody!
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage. In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural. Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
When you hear some one say, 'Well, I caught myself lookin',' you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
Only true Southerners say 'sweet tea' and 'sweet milk.' Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. 'Sweet milk' means you don't want buttermilk.
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,'Bless her heart' ... And go your own way.
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of Sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart! _____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, .. Bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language! And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads 'I ain't from the South, but I'm glad I'm here!
* My own addition: Those of you who are from the North, don't understand the Confederate Flag, what it stands for , hate all this "Southern Stuff," and hate it here:
GO BACK TO WHEREVER IT WAS THAT YOU CAME FROM!
Talking Dog For Sale!

This guy I know was driving around the backwoods of Tennessee, and he saw this sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house that said:
"TALKING DOG FOR SALE!"
He got out of his truck, and went up to the door and banged on it. A man answered, and asked him if he was there about the dog. My friend said that he was. The man said the dog was out in the back yard. My friend walked out to the back yard, and saw a nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting beside a doghouse. "You talk?" My friend asked the dog.
"Yup!" The dog replied, wagging his tail.
After my friend recovered from his shock, he asked the dog, "So, what's your story?" The Lab looked up, and said, "Well, I discovered I could talk when I was pretty young and I wanted to help the Government, so I told the CIA. In no time, they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because nobody figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies, for eight years running. But all that jetting around tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger, so I signed up for a job at the airport, to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a bunch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." My friend was so amazed, he just walked away, back to the owners house. "How much do you want for your dog?" He asked.
"Ten bucks." The man said. "Ten dollars? That dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" My friend asked incredulously.
"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff!" The guy told him.
One of my bestest buddies, jfore is always sending me really good stuff. Check this out!

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, you just might be a liberal if...
* You're sure the Constitution explicitly guarantees the right to abortion and gay marriage, but not the right to own a handgun.
* You think Dan Quayle is the dumbest Vice-President we ever had because he believed a flash card that misspelled "potato," but think Obama is a genius despite the fact he believes we have more than 57 states.
* You'd be more upset about your favorite candidate being endorsed by the NRA than the Communist Party.
* You think the same criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime will just hand them over to comply with the law if guns are made illegal.
* You know that 86% of all income taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earners and you still feel that the rich "aren't paying their fair share of the taxes."
* You put a higher priority on oil pipelines possibly inconveniencing a few caribou than you do on lowering the price of gas for everyone in the country by drilling ANWR.
* You're worried that Osama Bin Laden might not get a fair trial if we capture him, but want George Bush thrown in prison for being too zealous in protecting us from Al-Qaeda.
* You get infuriated when you hear about the CEO of a Fortune 500 company making tens of millions of dollars, but don't see a problem with an actor, basketball player, or trial lawyer making the same amount.
* You're constantly seeing subtle, coded racism in campaign ads, but see nothing racist about blacks being promoted over more qualified white applicants because of Affirmative Action.
* You think it's obscene that oil companies are allowed to make 8.3 cents per gallon in profit with gas prices this high, but would never suggest cutting the 13 cents per gallon they pay on taxes to reduce the price of gas.
* You think George Bush is a chickenhawk because he wanted to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan despite the fact that he only served in the National Guard, but you don't think the same about Barack Obama, who has never served in the military and probably couldn't find either country on a map without help.
* You think protesting outside of abortion clinics is extremism and should be illegal, but carrying around giant puppet heads while wearing a t-shirt that compares Bush to Hitler is just exercising your First Amendment rights.
* You think the case for global warming is proven without a shadow of a doubt, but that we need another century or two worth of evidence to figure out if capitalism and free markets work better than socialism.
* You believe the best way to fix the government screwing something up in the market is with...drumroll, please...more government intervention.
* You think the first thing we should have done when Russia invaded Georgia was to take the matter to the United Nations, where Russia sits on the UN Security Council.
* You spend your days criticizing the use of private jets, SUVS, and luxurious houses that consume enormous amounts of resources and then ride in an SUV to the airport, get on your private plane, and fly home to your luxurious house.
* You have more nice things to say about countries like Cuba and France than you do about your own country.
* You think the war in Iraq is unwinnable, but victory in the war on poverty is going to happen any day now if we can just get the Democrats back in charge.
* You won't even support English as our national language, but can't seem to understand why people worry about tens of millions of illegal aliens changing our culture.
* You think censorship is absolutely wrong; except when it's applied to conservatives on college campuses or on talk radio via the fairness doctrine.
* You get more upset about an American soldier accidentally killing a civilian than you do about a terrorist deliberately blowing up a school bus full of kids.
* You think Fox News is hopelessly biased to the right, but MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS call it right down the middle.
* You think the real hero of the Cold War was Mikhail Gorbachev.
* You couldn't care less about what Americans in states like Kansas or Virginia think of you, but you would be greatly upset if a Frenchman gave you a dirty look because you're an American.
* You think kids in public schools should have to watch Earth in the Balance and read Heather Has Two Mommies, but no piece of literature with the word "Jesus" on it should be allowed within a hundred yards of a school.
I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. I all ready know who is going to wear the shoes that fit this !!!!!
We ALL Know Better...

We ALL know better, that is, ANYONE with a lick of sense SHOULD know better by now, that you don't joke around in an airport, or on an airplane about having a gun, (loaded or otherwise) a bomb, an explosive device or of any intention of hijacking the plane. If you do, your fanny WILL be carted off, and you will be in more trouble than you could ever imagine! But how about if you are downtown, with a belly-full of "Miss Maimie's Home-Cooked Bar-B-Cue," standing in the "teller's line" of your bank, and you jokingly turn to the customer behind you, and say out loud, "Ya know, they're about to go under here, so I'm making my final withdrawal, by golly!" And the next thing you know, bank guards rush out from all corners of the bank, guns drawn, furious expressions on their faces, grab you by the collar and the back of your britches, and slam you face down onto the gritty, linoleum floor. You feel that Bar-B-Cue swirling in your belly, as you sputter, "What is the problem? I'm not doing anything! I'm just making a withdrawal!" What you are about to find out is that you have just violated Georgia's Depression-era law that makes it a Felony to spread or publish false information about the financial solvency of any financial institution to meet its obligations. And, you my friend are going to go to jail. If you have not been humiliated enough by the "swat-team" take-down impersonation, stand-by. You could also be looking at a hefty $10,000.00 fine. So you think it's a violation of your 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech? NOT! There are a few slightly lower standards when it comes to "commercial speech." The Georgian Law stands today. I'll remember to watch my P's and Q's when I'm in Georgia! I can still say,
"Well smack my fanny, and call me Darlin' " while I'm there, right?
All righty, now GRANDPA! I don't want to hear ONE WORD from you, 15 or 16 years from now, okay? I'm just tellin' you now, so you can pass it on.... your little "Sugar Pie" may be an "older woman," but.............. LOOK OUT WORLD, BECAUSE HERE HE IS.....
Don't say I didn't tell ya, now!
It's All In A Name

Around the time this picture was taken, my parents learned I had a severe, and potentially fatal allergy to bees. (that's me on the left in the wagon)
In addition to being a dairy, chicken and crop farmer, my Grandpa also raised honey bees. I dearly loved his honey, and would "slip a jar" every chance I got. I still love honey, and I'm still deathly allergic to bees. Ironically, the name "Deborah" means "The Bee." My Grandpa and Daddy always called me "Sugarbaby," my Dad still does. This was my license plate for years.
Do any of you have a specialty tag? Does your name have a meaning that fits you, like mine does?
HEY MATER!
THIS IS WHAT EVERY CAR SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH, ESPECIALLY ONES TOTIN' YOUNGUN'S DON'TCHA THINK?

WHO RIPPED THE CHEESE?

Entertainment
I was in one of the DeLand Publix's yesterday, strolling through the produce section, when all of a sudden, I heard a loud "PPPHHHHHRRRRRRTTTTTTTT"
Then, this little pipsqueak voice pipes up, and very loudly says, "All righty now, WHO RIPPED THE CHEESE?"
People all over started roaring with laughter! The child behind the voice was a pudgy, adorable little, freckle-faced, red-headed girl, around four years old. Her Mother looked like she wished she could crawl under the table of tomatoes! Later, we were at Sonny's. The Sheriff of our county walked up to our table, and started talking to us. My husband, a former Deputy, was cordial, while I was a little more upbeat, and friendly. He asked my daughter about her hunting and our horses, then said goodbye. Before he got 10 feet from our table, my 12 year old says to my husband, in a rather loud voice "Daddy, when are you ever gonna get up the brass nuggets to tell him what you really think of him?!" Now it was MY TURN to want to crawl under the table! What age is it that kids stop saying things that turn their parents the color of a ripened tomato?
Someone sent this to me, and I'm just passing it on to my FOX buddies!
For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt!" Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Miss O. Needeep They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parents' objections, Deap Schitt married her cousin Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and, because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chick N. Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt. Now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt," you can correct them.
