I've put other shots of him in some of my hubs and he's always the same. He'd be perfect for the side of some throne ... hmmm, I wonder what my wife's been teaching him?

I just tell her I'd rather do what I loved doing than to sit and allow negativity to set in. I just have to watch the time I spend online and take it in short spurts instead of marathon stretches. : ) Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-35495960859921536212012-12-13T14:54:43.398-05:002012-12-13T14:54:43.398-05:00Welcome back!

Gabriela looked up and said, "I was waiting on you to so I didn't have to share the couch with you anymore! Need some help packing?" Thank goodness my wife knew she was joking and laughed about it. Of course, later Gabriela came over and asked, "Do we really need her?" You just never know. lol Many thanks!

Thank goodness our cats don't do that when we're cooking. Stealing chairs when there aren't bums occupying them - yes. Meowing at 4.30am in the morning for attention - yes. But never that, lol. They are precious though.

I've really got to limit my time in front of the computer screen as it doesn't take much to wear out my eyes right now. Yet, they're getting better day by day. It's really funny how people do like the stories I write about the cats. They both consider themselves stars. In fact, Gabriela is still trying to get her stomach as big as her head. I think she's succeeding.

H...Ruchira - It's good to see you again, too! Hopefully, the operations are over. It's just a matter of really limiting my computer time right now and letting them rest as much as possible. It's strange to hear my wife telling me to get some rest, instead of "get your tail up and get busy!" lol I'm trying to get her to write one "Hillbilly" style. She's living in an out of the way area, somewhat, and should be able to relate easily. I think it'd be a blast.

Then, I heard on the CBS news the other day there's an oriental waxing salon called the same thing. Blew my idea right out of the water! : ) Perhaps, one more along the lines of "Ted" would be better.

Still, I couldn't get the doctor to operate at my house, so I didn't have much choice in the matter. lol I appreciate the kind words.

The giant "Prisoner" bubbles could have taken me at anytime, as my eyes were covered with bandages for what seemed to be decades.

The grandkids are full of spice and vinegar, but it's good to see the family tree proceeding as it should. lol No, I'm leaving the "Mommy" blogs to the experts, and I'll continue to look for the ridiculous in life.
