"Is That a Glock in Your Pocket?"
I sure hope so... ;-)
Since some college students would rather
carry a dildo... Wait, what?

Relocating ~ ASAP!
I've been working my ass off at the Woodlot lately.
A little TLC would be in order, but I have to be patient...
Young Dusty ~ The Wee Pooh Years
For the "Expert" in the house :P
I suppose you're right, My Woodlot does kinda look
like the 100 Acre Woods...
Damn Telemarketers :P
I like toying with them... for kicks.
Making "them" hangup on me can get interesting at times.
Last year I had one "fall in love with me".
I'll write it out sometime... Made me LMAO!!
Just got one to hang up on me a couple minutes ago.
He was easy...
Him: eelo
Me: ~ quiet ~
Him: eelo?
Me: eelo
Him: Mam? is this "..... " ?
Me: ~ quiet ~
Him: Mam, can you hear me?
Me: ~ quiet ~
Him: Are you deaf?!
Me: ~ quiet ~
Him: &%#*!! ...and hangs up
Guess he was having a bad day ;-)

MissK ~ Sketching on The Woodlot
I spent the whole day at the woodlot yesterday. I made good progress. Things are slowly but surely falling into place. At the end of the day, I was sitting on one of my pile of trees, contemplating, then I started on this little sketch for the section of land I'm currently working on.
Actually, the sketch I drew on the lot is the messy looking one at the bottom. I made the nicer one from memory and mental measurements after I got home. The scale is pretty darn close. All these elements were previously only in my head. I really like seeing it like this :D The messy one too, I like the process...
Sketches done directly on my new phone, freehand...
Love this thing ;-)

Well, since y'all are here, how 'bout a little tour...

Need Input Here...
As most of you know, I've been recently empty nested by my Lovely Valedictorian Daughter. Yes, I'm still very proud of her, and all the hard work she put in ;-)
Now with that comes many many University related bills. I crunched the numbers, and with a pretty tight budget, I have figured out the minimal amount of funds needed for her to attend the University of her choice, which is less then an hour from home, thank God. Now this is where my request lies, no, not money, sillies... Just perspective. Although a few tips would not be frowned upon ;-)
But seriously, I know a lot of you have put your kids through school, and I'm just wondering what a typical year cost for different people. Living expenses also count, obviously, as having your child sleep on the street, starving, lonely and cold would not be very conducive with providing them with a quality education.
I'm asking because, being recently divorced, I'm having to defend the fact that University Fees are way more than the ONE bill the chosen establishment is charging us with.
So how much does a typical year of University cost?
And for My TGIF Post...
I'm a dork! I'm laughing way too hard at this...
Especially @ 00:56 seconds... WTF?
~ NEVER FORGET ~
I was in the house, safe and sound as my then 4 year old daughter, played in the background. I watched in disbelief, the horrific events of that day unfold... Seemingly frozen in time...
I've added a few relevant Posts from fellow bloggers, worth checking out. Please click the links below, and read their words.
~ They Do Exist ~
I had a "Nice Cop" incident the other night...
I got pulled over for speeding... Ooops! Not a surprise considering it was 2am, and me and this cop where the only cars in town... Seriously, I had the run of the place ;-) But I was a "Good Girl" and cooperated fully. After all, I was speeding. We got to talking, about our kids, and University, and the fact that I was just getting home and wanting to get to bed asap. Come to think of it, he didn't even ask me for my papers. This is a small town, but still, I've met a few power hungry cops who think they're above the law, so it was kinda nice to get pulled over by a "human" cop. So NO Ticket!! And I had my hands on the wheel, the whole time ;-)

Needing some Plumbing Advice Plz
Here's the situation:
A few days ago, I was alone at my daughter's apartment, dropping off some things for her. Then all of a sudden I hear water pissing in the hall closet where the water heater sits on a shelf. Thank God the shut off valve was right there, then I flicked the heater breakers off and called the landlord. He sent his maintenance guy over to check it out. We had to leave it as is 'till he came back the next morning with the replacement part. The pressure release valve had failed.
Now here's my concern...
The month prior, we only flicked on the breakers to the water heater for a few hours at a time when we came to clean and prep the apartment as no one was living there yet. I never thought to shut off the water line too, as I've never really dealt with this particular situation. Now I want to prevent another "accident" as my daughter and her roommate will be leaving the apartment 'til next Tuesday...
Is it better to leave everything on? The girls are concerned that it might decide to leak again and damage their stuff and the apartment with no one there to keep an eye on it. I am concerned about that too. Or should they shut off the breaker and the water line, and if they do.... is there a risk this might happen again when it's turned on.... or was it most likely because the water line was left open??
Common sense tells me turn both off.... Anyone out there with some valid experience on this matter?

How Do You Feel About Him?
"We should act like it, and we should stand together..."
"...They can't tell good guys, from bad guys"
"...it doesn't make any sense and
it's profoundly dangerous to our Country"
Afternoon Snack
I think we should share this one ;-)
A spin-off from good ol' Canadian Poutine.
Ok, now I'm really hungry!!

The Cinder Cone
I was surfing for Cabin Porn, and came across this little gem.
Pretty cool to see what some people can do
with a daydream and a few friends ;-)
More pictures below the break...
~ My New Phone ~
I had the the S4mini before. I liked it, but it was getting
kinda hard to do all the random stuff I like ;-)
The basics are similar, so the learning curve ain't too bad.
Anyone out there using the Note 4?

Cleaned it up, added a few banners, got a few more in the works.
My other pages are way overdue for an overhaul too...
Working on it ;-)
