I don't think its a good idea to burn anything naked... but maybe that's just me.

Not even burning up the sheets???

Oh well sure there is that....

There's a rule about burning. If it sends up black, smelly smoke, don't burn it. Remember when I called the EPA on my neighbors. They didn't burn for a long time but they've started again. Guess another call is in order.

Speaking of cows - and we were, did you know that if you see them grouped close together and it isn't feeding time, then it's going to rain.

Really?
Man, we have pastures of cows all over the place.
Gonna have to start noticing that.

I always wondered why, when you see a big pasture full of cows, even if there's like a hundred cows there spread out all over the place, they are all facing in the same direction...

Hate wal-mart. Don't want to go there. Wish something else was on the bus route. But I can do without when I have to.

hooper...
I hate Wal Mart with a passion...

I live in a small town. We used to have family owned businesses here...until Wal-Mart came. They all had to close their doors...couldn't compete with Wal-Mart.
Why go to Ormsby Hardware, Benge Farm Supply, Smith City Grocery, Begley Drug Store, Bob's Clothing Store, Cumberland Valley Office Supply, etc., etc...
...when you can get it all at Wal-Mart...all in the same place, and a few cents cheaper.

Man, I don't need to get started on Wal-Mart.
I had to go there today.

I know and then you find that a few cents cheaper doesn't work or breaks grrrrrh. I hate that store. I was buying groceries there until some of that was bad when I got it home. That's when it was time to stop no matter what. I mean green chocolate pudding bad. Just looking at it made me sick.

Cindy Lou Faye Irene, when the cows are looking in the same direction are they looking at you? They might be thinking "I'll bet that crazy human is going to WalMart."

I don't go to WalMart here because it's too crowded and things are hard to find. One of the times I did go I was looking for kerosene laterns and I asked 2 different people where they were and neither spoke enough English to understand me. They weren't Mexican but they weren't from the US either. That's when I decided that I shop where people speak English. Even if it costs more.

Speaking of cows,have any of ya'll seen the new "Happy Cows" commercials. They are made by the California cheese Board and are a trip! They even have a "Happy Cows Website" where you can watch all of the commercials and even buy "Happy Cow" merchandise. Check it out if you get a few minutes The link for the videos is on the left. Theres also a kids page with games and stuff for them.

I think my favorite one is where they are messing with the farmer and running up and ringing his doorbell then running out to the yard before he answers the door

G-Mom

one definitely should not fry bacon naked!
lthink the cow commercials are funny too!
there's anew walmart about an hour from here that i go too at times, not much else around. but face it nothing is like it used to be--not doctors, department stores(remember the old family owned ones?)
i go to wally world expecting it to be exactly what it is. just like if i chose mickey d's i don't expect to be able to order crab imperial
what's a girl to do?
you guys are a hoot! i enjoy these threads so much--even days later!
jv---i have seen the southend of northbound horses everywhere!

Next time I'll stop and ask a few if they want to ride along!


That sounds like an old "Far Side" cartoon. Gary Larson must have written the commercials. I have that "Far Side" cartoon framed...the one where the cows are all standing on their hind legs drinking martinis, then hear a car coming and get back down on all fours and start grazing...


Man, those are some profound words of WISDOM!

ouch

I drive by a Wal-mart a mile from my house. We havwe a chain here called 99 cent stores they have some produce cheap. Buy most of my canned good there as you can sometime get 3 to 5 cans of assorted things for 99 cents. Grade A large eggs are 69 cents. Other wise I go to Sav a lot as they have great meat and good produce half the price of Wal-Mart. Can you beleive that Albertson closed down here said they couldn't compete. Of cours if the meat they sold could be cut without a hacksaw would have helped. And everything in store about 5 times higher then Tom Thumb :p . Oh to have Winn-Dixie back good food and best meat for a decent price and customer service which most stores these days do not supply.
by blooming blooming I do know that but just seems like Wal-Mart is trying to corner the market on them. have a good day.

My grandpa use to tell me ..."if the cows in the field are layin down...the fish aren't bitin!" So he would ALWAYS look at the cows before he would go fishing!

Vanessa that is right. if they are up grazing fish are most likely biting but if they are laying down don't waist your time you can't get a nibble.
Jimmy

Are you all SERIOUS???

Is that true...or are you just messing with me?

Yep, it's really true,

Straight from the gospel according to grandpa Mears!!!!!

Well, if grandpa Mears and Jimmy say it's true, I guess I won't be going fishing if the cows are laying down!

...and, you know what?
I'm not going to Wal-Mart from now on if the cows are laying down!

...or standing up!
