"The Coffee Shop"

[rsr]

Yes, Blackbird, I can tell you, but it's not polite to mention in polite company. I will only say that tea is a natural diuertic. As they say, you don't buy tea, you only rent it.

Not to mention the caffeine; I had to give it up in the evening, though I love it so and can drink a half-gallon a day.

But not sweet tea. Ewwh. Just enough sugar to cover the bitterness of the tea, and in a pinch, drink it straight.

 

[blackbird]

I'm such a dad-gum nerd! Ain't nobody has their neighbors over for homemade butterfinger ice cream anymore---where is this country headin'??

See ya'll tomorrow!
Blackbird

 

[rsr]

No, Blackbird, that is a modern invention. Banana ice cream (even though I'm allergic to it) is the true homemade ice cream.

 

[RodH]

You guys are making me hungry! The church I grew up in always had at least 2 or 3 Sunday nights each summer when people would bring homemade ice cream for after the evening service. I always had to try a little of each kind.

 

[Sherrie]

Nothing nerdy about butterfinger ice cream! Yummy.

My neighbor are all kind of rude. They won't even wave hi! I still try and wave anyway. hehehehehe!


rsr....I love my Iced Tea...no sugar...lots of ice and Lemon.

No sugar? You may as well be drinking brown water.

 

[blackbird]

I like two big scoops(about 1/2cup) of sugar in the two quart pitcher as I'm stirrin' in the hot tea!! I've got a buddy of mine who's wife makes it so sweet you can "sop a bisquit" with it--that's a little too sweet but I don't say anything--1. I don't want to hurt her feelings 2. He's a whole lot bigger than I am and I'm afraid if I do hurt her feelings, he might wind up hurtin' me! "YOU DON'T LIKE HER TEA??" And there I am--stuck at his house and my gun cabinet is way over there at my house--I'd be in one big predictament---

Sherrie--my neighbors and I honk at each other while drivin' past each other's houses--1. Its a honk of friendship--we're apt to get good cases of "tennis elbow" and Carple Tunnel Syndrome wavin' at each other!! 2. It tells each other, "I ain't home now so watch over the place while I'm gone!"

Mercy, you "City Slickers" are gonna think ole Blackbird is a nerdish geek--but actually, thats what real Cajuns do when they get together and neighbor with real Rednecks who like each other!!

Honkin' at each other--hollerin' out the truck/car window at the neighbor's who happen to be outside maybe rakin' leaves, mowin' grass, or just sittin' out in lawn chairs---you honk--and if they have their backs turned to ya and can't turn around(tendin' to the leaf fire) they'll throw their arms up in the air to acknowledge--"Yeh, I see ya! Can't turn around right now!!"

If the board reader were Blackbird's neighbor--and they had a "sorry" attitude--by golly, I'd be out to change that! There are very few houses on Blackbird's road with "For Sale!" signs out in the yard!!

Your Southern Baptist preachin', neighbor wavin' buddy,
Blackbird

I once lived in a small lower Alabama community and everyone waived or "nodded". You would pass the same people, day in and day out. You would see them at the bank, the feed store, pumping gas, ect.

Now we live in a "city" and you have to be careful who you're honking or waiving at. Waiving at strangers may provoke the bird and that aint no blackbird. Honking may get someone turning around and following you or throwing rocks at you as you go by.

It seems that everyone here, has that "what are you looking at" attitude these days.

 

[Sherrie]

My town is like your blackbird. Just my street is a little ruder than most.


I seen jonmagee posted! Hope he finds us all in here!

Sherrie

 

[blackbird]

Gib--what a "hoot" you are--saaayy! I'm lookin' for a few good deacons!! Or or you lookin' for a good pastor??

Sherrie--you have a good day! Talk to ya'll later!

i just dumped a bunch of cofee in my keyboard. Funny things are happening while I am typing. I may not be on long.

I am trying to dry everything out.

Sherrie

 

[Thankful]

Good Morning! Where is Jonmagee? He must be at one of the tables.

I have to tell you a story about a sweet young thing that got mad at her boyfriend in a small town south of here. She threw an ice cream cone at his pickup. Come to find out it wasn't his pickup...It was the pickup of an off duty policeman. Here in Okie land it is a felony to throw anything at a moving vehicle. You guessed it! She was arrested.

Well that's my news for the day. I must run and take care of preparing for church tomorrow. Yes, it takes me all day.

Have a great Lord's Day. Everyday is the Lord's Day.

Oh Sherrie

 

[Jim1999]

Oh my, Sherrie, and I thought you were working on your Scottish dialect.....

These things happen when one drinks and drives at the same time.

Cheers,

Jim

 

[jonmagee]

Hmmmmmm........... I'm only away a week and the sprrrrrrrrring thread has sprrrrrrrrrung a leak. I'm busy talking to myself there. Worst of all, I'm actually answering myself. Have a look and see.

yours, Jon.

 

[Sherrie]

Hello Jon! So nice to have you back. I dumped coffee in my keyboard and had to drive 50 miles to get another one. 32.00 and I brought it home another 50 miles back. Well its nice.

Sherrie

 

[Sherrie]

Dag Nab It!...I have missed talking to Jon! Figures. I have had bad luck all day.

Sherrie

 

[Sherrie]

I went to the local Walmart and they had keyboard for 10.00. But it would not work with my computer. I do not know why? It had a round end on it...and i needed a flat end. Figures. So I had to take it back...stand in the spring time everyones out refund line and wait forever. Then go drive that 50 miles there...and 50 miles back.

All I heard there was can we stop and get a Soda...and can we go to the Mall....man!...its not fair! UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! Turn this song up. Grandma I am sitting in front coming back!

SHUT UP NOW! The famous last words of a fusterated mom.

But now all is calm. But in a few seconds we are going to crank up the mower. And it better work!

Hi, Jon; good to see you. How are things in bonny Scotland?

Sherrie, there are PS/2 keyoards, AT keyboards and USB keyboards. I have one AT left; the others are PS/2. AT is the oldest, USB the newest. Most new computers have either PS/2 or USBs. The AT is dated. Since you said it's flat, I suspect that it's a USB; but if that's the case, your computer may be able to use a PS/2 keyboard, which has a round connection, but much smaller than the AT.
