    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

    It was the Cude for me when I was a teenager. Several times I stood in the dealership and drooled over the Cuda on the showroom floor. I wanted that car so badly, but it never happened.

    One day in February, we had to run our air conditioning. On Sunday night / Monday morning, it's supposed to get down to 20 degrees. And the projected high on Monday is 35. Then lows in the mid-20's on Monday night and Tuesday night. I've already seen a few flies and mosquitos. Maybe this...

    kkay, I've heard the best thing to soothe the burning of a hot pepper is to drink milk. That's what the guys do on TV on those eating shows like Man vs. Food.

    I just never got interested in Nascar. Don't know why. I used to love watching MotoGP motorcycle racing, but car racing just doesn't do it for me. Open wheel racing is even more of a snooze fest for me.

    Oh, the epilogue to that story is that the doctors told my folks there was one benefit from all those surgeries and treatments: My ears would be so screwed up that the army would never take me in. Well, I turned 18 at the height of the Viet Nam war. When I went in for my physical, they stuck...

    When I was 4 - 5 years old (back in the 1950's), I had terrible problems with ear infections, ear aches, etc. Today, they put "tubes" in kids' ears for that. They didn't have that back then. They would lance my ear drums to let the fluid drain. Of course, it would heal up and they'd have to...

    Yes. We need to keep this in mind when we are deluged by the news with stories of hate, spite, pettiness and vitriol.

    April, my dad was the strongest person I ever knew. I've seen him get his head split wide open from being kicked in the head by a cow, and he just kept going. I never knew him to be afraid of anything. . . except when he had to go in the MRI tube one time. It was all he could do to hold it...

    About 3 or 4 years ago, my wife and I spent Labor Day over at our son's house. As we were leaving, we saw someone's chocolate lab and my wife said "It's been a long time since a stray dog came up to our house." Well, lo and behold, when we pulled in our driveway 30 minutes later, there's a...

    I agree 100% with that. I'm the same way with our lawyers. Don't tell me what the contract says. I can read. I want to know what your advice is. I may ignore it, but I want to know your opinion.

    I have those all the time Papaw. Sometimes, I just don't feel like talking/writing.

    I got lots of kisses today . . . from my puppy dogs. How do they know it's Valentine's Day?

    Oh no. I'm just a hobby farmer, and a p!ss poor one at that. My dad was a real farmer and he would roll over in his grave if he knew what a hack I am.

    I agree. When I lived at home, we raised pigs. They are indeed intelligent, funny and full of personality. I had a show pig. Her name was Porkchop. After I went off to college, my dad kept her. Later, my mom died and my dad couldn't keep up the pig business, so they all had to get sold...

    I'm not. Their job is to have babies. The baby females will get sold as breeding stock or added to the herd as breeding stock. The baby boys will get castrated and eventually go to freezer camp. That will be the hard part, and I'll have to keep from getting attached to them.

    I've got two of them, and they're spoiled just like my dogs. One of them, Betsy, was a bottle calf whose mother died a couple of days after she was born, so she was raised on a bottle. As a result, she's very gentle - more like a big black dog than a cow. She loves to have her ears and belly...

    I used to soak them in my glass of milk. It was always a challenge to soak them long enough to get soft but, as you say, not so long that they fall off into the glass or cup. I don't need to be eating Oreos these days. But my wife buys the peanut butter flavored ones, and I will sneak a...
