Some older days



Remember the roller skate key?




Ahhhh yes, the Movie Drive-In



Along the two way HWYs, they would have these signs to read. They would be spaced and you would wait to see what the next one would say:)




Ahhh the Brownie Box Camera!




Three guesses? I really was not a fan .... for the style. But the color is better then some I saw:)
Oh yes, make of car?  Studebakers

Dad and his adopted kid:)

Paternal dog Billy takes on an unusual kid A paternal dog has adopted an abandoned baby goat as his surrogate child.

Billy the boxer has become the constant companion of the 12-day old kid called Lilly. He sleeps with the goat, licks her clean, and protects her from any dangers at Pennywell Farm wildlife centre at Buckfastleigh, near Totnes, Devon.

Scroll down for more

Billy and Lilly have formed a close bond

The kid was abandoned by her mother when she was only a few hours old and adopted by paternal Billy when his owner Elizabeth Tozer began hand rearing the goat.

The unusual bond has developed over the last month and the pair are now inseparable.

Elizabeth said: "Lilly follows Billy around which is really quite amusing to watch and Billy sleeps with the goat and cleans her mouth after she feeds."

Scroll down for more

Billy the boxer protects his little kid

Lilly was the smallest of a litter of three kids and her mother abandoned her because she could only care for the two stronger ones. The pair have attracted quite a crowd at the animal centre and the staff are keen to see how their relationship will develop.

The Dangerous tiny Brown Recluse Spider



One thing this doesn't mention is that Brown Recluse Spiders are tiny.


  If you don't look at but one picture, be sure you take a look at the last one so that you will know what the spider looks like!
It's springtime & cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces & woodpiles.  

Also areas in the attic............................................
 
This guy was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider.

Day 3


The following illustrates the progression of a brown recluse spider bite.  The affected skin actually dies on his body!
 


Day 5
 

Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty, but take a look at the last one - it is a picture of the spider itself.
 

Day 6
 

The Brown Recluse Spider is the most dangerous spider that we have in the
USA  

Day 9


A person can die from it's bite We all should know what the spider looks like  


Day 10


Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summertime.  

People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning, and sometimes in their attics.

 



The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider


Please be careful. Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.  

They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.


If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work!

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS!

Rain in Missouri







So they now have Jokes going around about us, who are living in Missouri ..... groan

  Sick Of Rain!!

     A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment.
     As he stood there he noticed that some souls were
     allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven.
     Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning fire.

     But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would
     toss a soul off to one side into a small pile.

      After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the best of him.

      So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing. 'Excuse me,
      Prince of Darkness,' he said. 'I'm waiting in line for Judgment, but I
      couldn't help wondering. Why are you tossing those people aside instead
      of flinging them into the Fires of Hell with the others?'

      'Oh those . .' Satan groaned.

      'They're all from Missouri . They're still too wet to burn.'

Transparent Butterfly

Transparent Butterfly
 
It comes from Central America and is found from Mexico to Panama. It is quite common in its zone, but it not easy to find because of its transparent wings, which is a natural camouflage mechanism.   

A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful.    As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indication of high habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change.  Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glasswing butterfly shimmer in the sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red. All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed: in life that which is unnoticed has the most power.


            

           

          

          

           

           Really something isn't it?

Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach?



Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach?



Well, I have a few times, not many but two or three really hurt my heart. That feeling that I
made a wrong choice or did not do something
 that I should have! But it was too late to undo
what ever it was or to stop and turn back and
do it right ?
 
Now I see my son  going through a bad one! Oh a big one!
 
His girlfriend wanted him and her to quit their jobs together, that they could do better with their lives. Make more money to buy a house. Right? She had worked there 3 years? Him 9 years and 11 months, yep a month away from his 10 year award! He knew that business inside and out ! Okay so they planned and he quit, ......... she still works there! She now gets a bonus in a few months of around $46,000.00?

 I said I supported him no matter what he decided about quiting! But to know there are few jobs out there that are dream jobs and he would find the same problems with work places, with the same kind of people who are trouble makers or brown noses almost every where he goes. But to find a full time job first before he quit. But that he could go back to the Company, as they left the door open for him to return! .....

I had my doubt looks I guess, as he kept trying to justify his decision to me for weeks after wards, when he found out his car needed major work done and the he would live off me speech etc .....  Now he finds out he lost out on  $300,000.00 bonus at closing deal of Company plus the extra 8 months of work there and with health benefits ?

 Oh yes, he is very angry!
He says that is the last time he will listen to any old busy bodies about his life and what he should do with his life or how much better he is then the job he has!

  Gads, I hurt right along with him, as it breaks my heart to hear this news and see his pain! One of those sinking ship moments of life, that is too late to undo. and that feeling in the pit of your stomach thing you get when it hits you! Wrong move!

 
My son would have gotten $300,000.00 if he had stayed, plus the extra 8 months of work! All down the drain now!
 

Drug distributor McKesson Corp. will buy McQueary Brothers Drug Co. of Springfield, Mo., for about $190 million.

McQueary is a private, family-owned company that distributes drugs and other products to about 400 pharmacies in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa. McKesson will fold the business into its own drug distribution unit.

San Francisco-based McKesson (NYSE: MCK) is 175 years old. In addition to pharmaceutical delivery, it also supplies other medical products and equipment.

Two brothers, Les and Fred McQueary, started McQueary Brothers in 1924.

 

Do I need to say more?  With a hurting heart for her child ....

Mom
