I think this jelly would dump the cat.
@Mimishu1995 I always wondered how the French and Catholicism ended up in your country. The ruling emperor was deposed and he sent his son to Paris to get help. So a bunch of French missionaries headed off to Annam. Right before the French Revolution. I’m still working on the book.

I didn’t mean more or less. I meant differently.

True.

TJBM thinks that if this weather is any indication, the gay people in my town must have really pissed God off again and TJBM wonders what they must have done this time. :/

False. If they had pissed of God wouldn’t it have been easier to just order some lightning and strike whoever the hell pissed God off instead of venting on every single person down there?

On the contrary, I’m hungry but nothing sounds good.

TJBM is watching Dolphin’s Tale.

nope
TJBM is trying to take it easy this weekend.

Trying, semi-succeeding, always something going on around here.

One of the horses wasn’t eating this morning, highly suspect, trying to figure out what was going on with her when I realized her automatic waterer was dry as a bone! Shit…how long had she been without water?
She ate her dinner the night before and then I realized that the lever on the PVC pipe above the waterer was turned off! She must have been playing with or rubbing her face on the toggle switch and shut off her water supply!

She was mildly dehydrated but after drinking gallons of water went straight to her hay and stared eating. Whew, catastrophe averted. NOW, have to move the lever higher but in the meanwhile have to check to make sure she doesn’t do it again. Put a giant tub in her paddock just in case. freaking life with animals. lol

When I was a newly wed. Now I’m a more normal lover.

TJBM has a disturbing abnormality.

Your new avatar suits your personality better :) and I wonder what happened to your pet carmel.
TJBM is worried for someone.

Not for someone but worried about wild fires as CA. begins another chapter of up in smoke. I will be home alone here at the ranch next week and have a lot of animals that would need to be evacuated in the event of a major fire incident. Hoping for the best, so far it hasn’t happened yet but a few close calls.

Just had my 2nd cup, won’t need another ‘til this evening.

TJBM usually checks out the TJBM thread daily.

Usually yes.

TJBM is in the middle of a heat wave and wishes they were a fish.

Probably not a fish.

A fish won’t do anything but swim in a brook

To fool all the people is his only thought
Though he’s slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish

My left hand is about a half inch longer than my right
TJBM has boobs that aren’t symetrical

@Adirondackwannabe I live in a place where access to things I want to buy isn’t available. The only way to get them is either the internet or online markets (which are too expensive for me). Maybe it’s just me being curious about strange things.

TJBM has an unbalanced body.

No, pretty balanced I think.

They are in my stomach.
TJBM can eat anything.

You eat toads? Eww, You probably have a warty tongue.

@Here2_4 Yes! I grew up in Sacramento and the yard was full of toads on summer nights, where have they all gone?
@Adirondackwannabe and…...

TJBM has a bad memory.

quite
TJBM is currently thinking of launching fireworks during a rainstorm.

I think that would be more frustrating than exciting. Watching the dancers on America’s Got Talent, the ones with the special light effects and interpreters, gave me an idea for safe fireworks. It would be cool to have a performance like that, with it appearing that I have fireworks blasting off from my hands, and rockets shoot from my eyes.

TJBM will have a banana split now, with LOTS of sprinkles, and a whole ridge of cherries across the top.

Mmmmm…reminds me of my first job. As a soda jerk (that was really the job title!) I also made such ice cream concoctions.

TJBM remembers their first job fondly.

Yeah. First grade student.
TJBM wishes they had an ice-cream making friend.

I do, a hawaiian shaved ice machine. I have been making snow cones in a bowl during this heat wave.

Only if I can come back when I want to.

No, I’m home with all my children for the first time in several years. The only one missing is my year-old grandson, but he’s probably on a beach with all his cousins.

TJBM is enjoying family this weekend.

enjoy might not be the word
TJBM suffers from chronic writer’s block.

Nope- my imagination is an overflowing toilet of ideas!

I’m in the Watering Hole right now. Does that count? I am all alone with nobody to chat with.
TJBM forgot there was a watering hole here.

How can I forget something that is always the first thing I see here?
TJBM thinks there is a watering hole in Mekong.

Certain to be, but I’d hope for one close to the Lasagongma Spring if I was going to water or waller in it.

TJBM is an accomplished wallerer.

Ha ha! You made me think of a silly song we had to learn for music class in middle school. The Hippopotamus Love Song. ”...so follow me follow, down to the hollow, where we can wallow in glooooorious mud!”
TJBM bought a selfie stick, so they can beat people with it when they try to take a selfie.

TJBM wonders if common sense is being bread out of the human race.

More like “fed”...Especially if you’re talking about the sterile white spongy stuff that’s marketed as white “bread”!

TJBM now dislikes something they liked as a child.

Yeah, being ordered around.
TJBM just can’t get how trends are formed.

No. I was a fairly tasteful child.
TJBM has done unarmed combat with a wild animal. (Sticks or rocks don’t count as arms, only gun, car, crossbow or other mechanical device.)

Yeah. During my last holiday we were attacked by a swamp of jungle ants. While everyone struggled to get them out of their bodies, I figured out that the best way was to move my leg so often that they didn’t have time to claw onto me. So I walked soldier-stype. The result: no ants could touch me, and a bonus: the aftermath looked like this.
TJBM has done something cruel.

When I was about 8 I secretly spanked the neighbors 3 year old that wouldn’t leave me alone, his mom just thought he fell down. haha
I didn’t really hurt him, but I couldn’t control my urge to spank him.

TJBM is getting to “that age” where they can’t indulge in a lot of their favorite things because they pay for it.

Having my 1st Gout attack, it so sucks, must have been the beer and shrimp on the 4th, my poor foot I am so pissed off. No more beer and shrimp for me.

I was there. I lost it again.

TJBM has no moral code.

Oh God @Coloma! Did you go see the doctor? Gout is terrible and it can kill. Hope you can get over it.
I have. It’s just my moral code is different from others so I come across as having none.
TJBM is taken aback by something.

Haha yes, my gout. Bah! It’s getting better.

TJBM is pissed off they are getting old.

Not when I think of the alternative.

TJBM has aches and pains in places that a few years ago, they didn’t even know they had places!

Uh huh.

TJBM is surprisingly pleased that the furious, hard, outdoor work he or she has been doing the last week has toned some of them old muscles back up!

Oh, yeah!

TJBM will briefly share their philosophy concerning age.

Blessed to have gotten this far.

TJBM needs to load their new printer to their computer.

No, but it does need a new cartridge does that count?
TJBM wonders why the religious right gets so concerned about the 7 commandment while pretty much ignoring the other 9 commandments?

This Jelly says, “What?”

TJBM can’t believe he or she is back in sweatshirts and socks in July.

I’m not, but it is finally cooler with maybe some T-storms this week after a week of hell.

TJBM is hungry but doesn’t know what to eat.

Well, I am, but I’m waiting until I get absolutely ravenous to eat.

TJBM is worried about the bees.

In general, yes; but the pollinators are back in force here! It might be because we have several local beekeepers within a 10-mile radius.

TJBM is wondering about the birds.

Sex sex sex. Must everything be about sex with you people?!

TJBM is wondering why everything must be about sex with those people.

Noticing, but not wondering.

The TJBM has seen heaven.

Yes. It is inside my eyelids. When I roll back my eyes, I am there.
TJBM isn’t quite there, yet.

You have no idea, I am not even close to being “there” yet. Total exhaustion from the last 12 days of major activity and work. I slept 11 hours last night, unheard of!

TJBM has arrived.

At the fact I need to shower and get some things done ,uh yeah.
TJBM wants a BPJ sandwich right now.

Ew no. Won’t sit well with the shrimp and chocolate ice cream I just ate.

TJBM is relaxing on this Sat. afternoon.

Yes, Wishing @Dutchess_III would have extended an invite with that chocolate ice cream. Maybe I should take the walk for some soft serve.
TJBM might take a nice walk to a walk up window for some soft serve.

TJBM is hungry!

Yep. Got the munchies, and it’s lunchtime. What a combination!

TJBM likes creative projects like painting and designing home improvements.

Well…does privacy fence repairing count?

TJBM worked outside, really hard today for several hours, but escaped before it actually hit 100 degrees and they threw up.

No, but if it was you I don’t know if I should be happy or sorry :(
TJBM is jealous that I’m the 400th responder.

No, what little jealousy is within these bones is reserved for greener things!
