That gray matter between your ears. You know you can't eat all that squash you planted. And the neighbors are sick of it too.

Oh, and this . . .

Helps if the back is strong. The little woman's that is. Somebody has to pull weeds while you're out fishing or golfing.

Few years ago I got one of these . . .

A Fire Extinguisher!

At least one somewhere in your home that you will be able to find in a hurry.

Speaking of squash . . . I had no idea how prolific okra is. Y'all get prepared to find a bag or two set by your back screen door.

That's if I can get the Mrs to stop running the tiller across the rows instead of between them. She just don't seem to respect all the hard work I did finding all the seeds and plants for the garden.

RoeDapple 5 years, 3 months ago

So okay back to grilling, seem I got sidetracked. Briquets! And plenty of 'em! And a telephone, you never know when you might need to call 9-11 when the little woman is out there grillin'. Next to the garden.

A grill that'll get hot enough. I've had too many roasted steaks. Sear, baby, sear.

A penis( and what a fine tool it is)!!!!!

RoeDapple 5 years, 3 months ago

Obviously nobody figured out I read the article on gardening first then misread the ots question. Either that or you're being kind to the old guy with dementia. Or else you're being kind. Nah, I don't see that happening . . .

Get those meds mixed up again?

RoeDapple 5 years, 3 months ago

Yeah. . uh, Zen. Yup, that's my story and I'm gonna stick to it. Deep. Far out.

RoeDapple 5 years, 3 months ago

Was just informed I don't have dementia, but am somewhat demented . . . I think she is just being kind . . .

Three years of brush accumulatin' gets a bunch of gigawatts of heat radiatin' forth. The whole front of me looks like I been layin' sunnyside up at the beach all day! Seems there's gonna be a doin's next Sunday round here and the Mrs don't want no messes in the yard while all the cuzins is here. Happy Fathers Day to you too autie.

LadyJ 5 years, 3 months ago

She's probably right cus they would probably have set them on fire themselves along with everything else.

LadyJ 5 years, 3 months ago

Autie print some pics off of this site and leave them lay around. Hint, probably should pick the ones without the girls in them. http://www.milehidistilling.com/Alcohol_reflux_still_moonshine_pot_distillers_s/2.htm

A tie? Hell, unless the suit and tie I wore to the wedding gets lost or burned or a tornady blows it away I only need it one more time so's I look passable in the pine box. I been knowed to attend church services in the same camo the deer stand sees me in. A man gots to have his priorities. If they just pick up one of them DQ ice cream cakes I'll be happy as a possum eatin' the dog's food. I got so much stuff now I don't have time for all of it
