I am sorry peeps, I have tried to post 3 times.
I did explain , but I get sent to the board.
I can not post right now. My brother in law is dying, he was married to my little sister.
He is also Little mans best friend, since they were 5 years old.
No need to reply, just pray for his safe journey home. I know you are all with me.
His name is Jack. Hubs is with him now.

I pray for Jack to have a safe journey home, to be at the Lord's side.
Little man needs you now, we know.

Now, snarky, we can't ALL be prolific conversationalists. If I wanna talk more, I'll have to work on increasing my "snarkiness" lol!

Must say goodnight.
Keep on fizzlin' ladies (and any men who may be).

Grams will welcome him and make him feel right at home. I am sure of it.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jean. I wish had the right words to comfort your baby sis, hubs and the rest of the family. Cherish those memories and treasure the time you had with him. I am so sorry your family is going thru this.

If I remember correctly Jean's little sister passed away some time ago... Jean you know you have our thoughts and prayers!

I hate driving in the rain too! Glad you're home safe and sound. A good night's rest will have you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow!(And hopefully in much much less pain.)
When you get better will you please start sharing more of your planetary / otherly world stuff with us again? I really miss that!(And so does BG!)

I really am getting more range-of-motion in that arm.
This is the International Year of Astronomy (really).
Picked up a Science mag. Here's a little of a report about gamma rays relationship with neutron stars:
High-energy emission (>100 MeV) from the EGRET source 3EG J0010+7309 matches RX J0007.0+7303 spatially, although the EGRET position uncertainty is very large (13).
And that was one of the nicer sentences!
G'night.
Good rest.

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS
Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!
Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!!
Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet ca t. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised…. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself,'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best….

To be continued:

Part 2

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say,'don't do it dip-shit,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decid ed to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ..
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD .. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ... WHAT THE HELL!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, and then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room..
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.. A three second burst would be considered conservative!
IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs…. I had no control over the drooling.
Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
P.s... My wife, can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

Goood Night, Angels. Pleasant dreams. See all y'all tomorrow.
Let's all send up some powerful prayers tomorrow at noon. We will especially be thinking of Jean, her husband, and her brother in law.

Is anyone adventurous enough to try this?(remember I am not a fan of chocolate)
FIVE MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts [?].
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT!(this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

I have been looking everywhere for this recipe, and lo and behold, here it is!
I made it once with my girls (I called it microwave cake). Anyway, I put the recipe someplace.....

Thank You!

Thanks.

And Jean--my thoughts are with your family tonight.

G'night angels.

You are welcome... So is it any good?

Hope Jean doesn't mind but I thought with her full plate I would stand in her stead this ONE time and post the song for tomorrow.
