My new favorite commercial:



And now I'm back to homework. Probably will not be around tomorrow at all between work, homework, and my chorus concert. So nervous because the other soprano has another commitment and is leaving for the last three songs, so I'm it for the soprano section on the last three.:eek: I can hold my own, but if I screw up...

Not thinking about it. Not thinking about it.

Guess who had a terrible terrible day? First clue--This, second clue--Girl.

I had a fall in my bathroom and whacked my elbow on the doorknob, took the skin off my knee and jarred my back. :( At least I didn't wet my pants. :facepalm:

Then not much later I hear a terrible grinding noise coming from the bottom of our property. (We live up on a hillside.) A semi had gone off the road and got stuck in my yard. :banghead: Then he tried to back out (because he was literally tapping my wooden fencing) and he almost jackknifed the truck. Yep. He got stuck blocking the road. By this time I just called the police to let them deal with it.

A tow truck was brought in to get him out, he was given a ticket, and the ruts in my yard were smoothed out. You can't really see them from my house but it's a P.I.T.A. when mowing the lawn with our tractor.

Now, I just need to relax with my ice pack and get caught up here.

OK, we have corn and soy around here, no pigs. I need more info....how does whiskey in her ears prevent piglets murder? :confused::jawdrop::eek:
I guess sometimes the maternal instinct doesn't kick in right away and the sow will bite the piglets, hard enough to make them bleed. Supposedly putting the whiskey in her ears calms her down so she won't attack the piglets and they can eat. But what do I know, they never showed any of that on Green Acres! :p

Hope you feel better. That is a crazy story about the semi, I'm glad he didn't do more damage.

Time for me to tell a funny story...not so funny at the time, but I laugh about it often...living on the farm could be filled with exciting times with farm animals...Pigs ...and we had quite a few of them. We had one sow, probably weighed in at 100lbs. Maybe less, I was a kid....anyway I went out to the barn, with mom to feed the pigs....I made the mistake of taking a Clark Bar (kind of candy bar with me). Mom was slopping the hogs (feeding them) I stood there watching, and munching on my weekly treat. We had this big old mean sow (as my mother said...that she was mean). Any way, this sow charged me, and took away my Candy Bar. The funny part, she knocked me down, in a BIG pile of cow manure . I went under. It took my Mom several bath's to take the stink away. I never went into the barn, to feed the pigs again. I watched behind a screen door. Moral to the story...don't have kids and pigs at the same time on the farm! :D

Oh my! Hahaaa...!!! :joyfull:
Both sets of my grandparents had hogs at one time, but, my pops folks quit keeping them before I was born. My moms folks had them until were quite a bit older.
I remember many a hog sloppin' from my youth. Also, there was a 5 gal. galvanized bucket that sat on the back porch that ended up with watermelon rinds, apple peels, orange peels, etc., that we used to take out to them when it was full enough. They'd usually be layin' in their mud wallow takin' it easy, but, boy howdy, when we showed up with that bucket full of treats, they'd go bonkers...!
Good memories! :)
