TexasT's House

[tgcrna]

It was laying right beside me on the couch and the one thing I could see immediately was the love in its eyes. That bird was in LOVE with me!!! I mean real love!!! Just like old Thelma Lou in eleventh grade in school!! Love!

That bird has not stopped following me around and won't let anyone or anything get near me. Its very possessive and guards me like a hawk ... so to speak. The dog can't come get petted, my wife almost can't be in the same room and the turkey chased the hog out of the house!

Ummm, better be careful there, TT. I've heard hogs can get very possessive!! If you think chickens are a danger to your "manly region", you should see what a mad boar can do!!

 

[TexasT]

Naw, this old pot bellied pig is too lazy to be interested in anything other than laying on the couch in the living room and watching Dr. Feel on television. It really likes Dr. Feel. And the fan is in there too sitting on top of the washing machine and it likes the fan.

Most of you probably know how much a 3yo can wear you out so will understand why I am scarce here over the next few days. But in the words of Arnold. I'll be back LOL!

 

[TexasT]

We'll be here waiting for you salem.

My eleven year old granddaughter will be here in a couple weeks and I might be a little hard to find when she comes. We're sure looking forward to her visit!

So this afternoon I'm laying out there on the plaid couch by the boat in the front yard and I have the bug zapper from the front porch laying beside me and I'm pretending to be asleep.

But I'm not.

I'm fully alert and ready to spring into action at a moments notice ...

I see the insane chicken sneaking across the front yard trying to hide in the weeds ... but its useless ... I'm locked on him like a fighter jet radar system.

But I accidently dozed off ...

It is the last action I remember performing. It struck without warning, without respect to my circumstances. Nay, it wasn't a hexed raccoon, drawing me into its gnashing teeth. it was that danged chicken, clawing at the area between my legs.

She ( aka "the danged chicken") had been poised up on the boat and stalked me. At precisely the second I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws.

Now when men feel pain or even sense danger anywhere close to their masculine region, they lose all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements. Instinctively, their nerves compel the body to contort inwardly, while rising upwardly at a violent rate of speed.

Not even a well trained monk could calmly stand with his groin supporting the full weight of an insane chicken and rectify the situation in a step-by-step procedure. Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight" syndrome; men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight" option.

Fleeing straight up, I knew at that moment how a cat feels when it is alarmed. It was a dismal irony. But, whereas cats seek great heights to escape, I never made it that far. The bug zapper I was holding bluntly impeded my ascent; my fingers on the left hand entered the bug zapper and the electrical impact knocked me out cold.

When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me. Having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics snorted as they tried to conduct their work while suppressing their hysterical laughter. My pants were down around my knees and wife told me I should be flattered.

Later up at the Coffee shop, colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me as for the reason my eyes were bloodshot and my left hand, fingers and groin area supported large bandages. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk.

And when one of them asked if I wanted a fried chicken sandwich I began to cry.

If they had only known.

Ear hugs for you......

That definitely did the trick!

 

[TexasT]

Absolutely love those Smilies Free, and thank you!

[Ever1ast]

But they can sure wear an Old guy down... !!

You don't gotta be an old guy to get worn down by kids! Today is OFFICIALLY the last day of summer vacation. Stand by for the happy dance:

[Pokeygizmo]

Good morning, TT and everyone.

I'm having a late start here having been betrayed by my usually reliable internal alarm clock.

Just wavin' "hi" and "bye" for now...

 

[Pokeygizmo]

Hello...hello...hello?...

LOL.

Catch you for coffee in the morning, TT? I'll make a big pot!

 

[TexasT]

[Pokeygizmo]

Good, cause I'm still up and I'm going to need a LOT of coffee in the morning to keep up with you!

Not like I don't, anyways...

 

[DeXTeR]

sorry pokey but with that one you set me up for under the covers lol. I'll make a pot first thing in the morning as soon as I recover from tonight's Scotch.

 

[TexasT]

Got the coffee ready Pokey?

If you made it I'll go get a cup for you ...

TT

 

[Pokeygizmo]

Here I am!

Coffee's ready, I'm ready!

Are you still up, TT, or just getting up? I had a pleasant little nap, myself. Not quite enough, but sometimes it is better to get back on "schedule".

That internal alarm clock not going off yesterday really messed me up!

 

[Pokeygizmo]

sorry pokey but with that one you set me up for under the covers lol. I'll make a pot first thing in the morning as soon as I recover from tonight's Scotch.

Woe is me.
I keep forgetting about this "under the covers" game over here, lol!

 

[TexasT]

Hiya Lady, yeah I'm just getting up, had a pretty good nights sleep.

LOL, you have to watch those "covers." Nobody is safe from that around here!

TT

 

[TexasT]

Well I'm heading downstairs to get a pot started, brb

TT

 

[Pokeygizmo]

Well, I'm heading to refill my cup. It's gotten cold waiting for you, sleepy head!

 

[Pokeygizmo]

Well, gee whiz TT. You OK?

You didn't fall down the stairs, did you? ***worried face***
