Slogans of My Life.

First of all, Barb sometimes hurls my words right back at me so I should be more careful what I say. I suffer from an abnormality that lets things that cross the front of my brain to fall out of my mouth or through my fingertips (Or finger tip if you really know how I type) But, I often fail to look for unintended consequences so there are several things that I have been known to say.

This morning I asked Barb if there is anything we need to get before we leave on our trip. She reminded me that I often say, "I have everything I need, most of what I want and there are Wal*Marts along the way."

I once sat down in the grass without spraying myself for chiggers. Barb said I should be more careful and be prepared. My reply was, "Maybe I want Chiggers". If you lived in Kansas where we really have chiggers, you know this is an out and out lie. No one wants chiggers.

OK, this leads me to a funny story - I was in Wyoming for a National Guard Camp. We stopped
at one of the old forts and were watching re-inactors ride their horses in Cavalry formations. There was this young girl (probably 13, the kind of kid that looks like a colt - all legs) sitting in the grass there at the edge of the parade field. She was wearing shorts and I told her that she should be careful of the chiggers. She said, "You cheeky Americans are always making fun of us Brits". I was at a loss for words and said nothing in return. A while later I was in one of the barracks that had the old bathroom split into two sides, one for each sex and overheard from the girls side, "Mum, me bum itches". I had one last word to shout over the wall, "Chiggers".

This morning there was a newspaper columnist that reported that he had met a man with a Doctorate in Certainty. One of the other writers wasn't sure that he could qualify for such a lofty degree. He surmised that he could probably get an Associate of Arts in "Perhaps".

One final word here is to all of those young people out there in the family that are still working to get to end of their plans. Plan your work and then work your plan. Keep track of your spending so you can make sure that in the long run income is greater than or equal to outgo. Don't be surprised when at least once in a while emergencies happen and you have to spend your emergency fund. That's what it is for.

OK, one additional word. One of the writers in the paper said he could almost understand the school's budget. My words to him are it is not the budget that's important but their expenditures. One local school board always said they didn't have enough money to give the teachers a cost of living raise as needed. When we got into their budget, each year they would purchase 6 or 7 buses at the years end with left over money. They had the best buses in town and the lowest paid teachers. Until Barb learned to read their expenditures.

    The mother ant waited for her child ant to return home from ant school. He was very late, and she was worried.

    Just before sunset, he walked into the mound, obviously upset. She asked him, "Where have you been, and what is wrong?"

    He replied, "On the way home from school I was attacked by a chigger."

    Mother ant chastised him...

    "Son, that is rude! It's not a 'chigger,' it's a 'chegro.' "

    I found your site on http://ridingwithmud.blogspot.com/ and I'm very glad I have. I feel as though you're reading my mind right now.
    You appear to know so much regarding this, like you wrote the
    book on it or something. While I think some extra media like some pics or a couple of videos, this will
    be a fantastic resource. I will certainly return.

    I just wanted to inform you that I found your blog on and
    though I enjoyed looking through your article, it appears your blog acts up in some web browsers.
    If I view it in Firefox, it comes up properly, but
    if I use Chrome, it pulls up appearing overlapped and off-kilter.
    Just so you know.
