Quote Eppy: It's kind of the same with those big ol' double carriage gravel trucks around here. I met one head on, coming at me while crossing a double-line curve as he was passing three cars. There was no shoulder for me to escape to - don't ask me what happened, but I squeeked in between him and the cars he was passing - talk about angels on your shoulder!!! I cannot drive down that same road anymore.


There weren't anyplace for me to go except down the ditch line
Darn good thing there was a ditch for your escape - even tho you got some injuries and you jeep needs some repair, it sure could have been worse. Glad you're still with us to tell the tale!!!!

Quote gommie: All this talk about chickens- I have been cooking chickens in my crock pot for two days now- while I was boning them I kept coming across the 'wish bone' anyone remember that- or was it just something my folks did? When we had fried chicken everyone wanted the 'wish bone' - as I recall it required two people who each took an end- the trick was to pull on your end and the one who got the shorter piece got good luck or bad, don't remember and had to wash dishes or something like that-


LOL gommie.....i am known in my family for winning the wishbone....it used to drive my brother crazy and then when my son was young i tried NOT to win and i still won....i've learned to hold it right i guess....make a wish and dont say it outloud or it wont come true....kinda like blowing out the candles on a birthday cake




LOL...so it wasn't just us-- that's funny, you win every time- that must get embarrassing after a while--LOL
is it the big side that wins or the little one-I can't remember?


Definately the big side wins. I always look at it good, find a crack and hold the opposite side way way down low and dont pull too hard let the other person pull harder then you. When i did it with my son i swear i'd hold it higher and pull and win too........now watch because i just bragged about it i'll never win again LOL



LOL LOL LOL this is too funny-- LOL hahahahaha

The way we did it Gommie the short one was the bad luck one. After a few years we gave up trying cause my big brother always took it away from us. Then we started just hanging them across the curtain rod in grandmas kitchen out of sight. Got quite a collection till she took the curtains down to wash them.



Ok, the short one was the bad luck side- was your collection pretty much all the same size?


No not the same size but thank God they finally started buying them instead of the old back yard grab you one and cook it up. That bothered me really bad. It didn't taste as good when it was someone you knew on your plate.


I know what you mean- we lived next door to a chicken arbor- (a restaurant that served fried chicken dinners)- we supplied them with their chickens- we had to (omg) wring their little necks-one chased me once, scarred me for life I swear- then we had to put them in boiling hot water and pick out all the feathers-that smell has stayed with me all my life-- its just rotten--

Quote shirley 2: Wanna did you know that i have been in a car accident



No, what happened? Where you in your truck? Did you get hurt.

Every one knows but you and Sunny can't seem to catch up with you and her. A log truck ran me off of this narrow road down toward Blackwater, i got a big cut across the nose from my sunglasses and a cut on my right arm and a few brusies, and no i was in my jeep. It didn't hurt it all that much i have it in the body shop all ready. Needs a finder and a mirror and signal light




Boy are you lucky- the angels must have been riding on your shoulder- those loggin trucks scare the devil out of me- we used to travel those little narrow roads up in the gold country and when those trucks passed by everything went sorry about your jeep and your nose-


My jeep cheerokee can be fixed and my nose and eye is already healed but my arm still looks awful, it has scabed over but still draining



take care of it-

Shirley, my mom used to make a poltice out of flaxseed and slather it all over an open and draining sore and then cover it with clean bandages. That seemed to help clean out the wound alot.

I wish granny would have wrung their poor little necks. It was the old chopping block for her. I would run as fast as I could to get away or hide in the house with all the blinds pulled. That smell is still with me to. Makes me sick to think of it.

I know, and the worst thing I witnessed as a little kid was that the chicken would run around without his head for awhile. I will never get that image out of my mind.

Hell, Im ready for another beer!!!
