Any way I got all the way out into the middle of the pasture past all the big trees just to remember we were in the middle of a storm. Our storms come in gust-quiet-gust form, I walked out at the end of a quiet part, now the gust was a comin' Yikes. The horses would only walk me back part way, they do not care to die together!<br /><br />Here's something to do with your nine volt batteries that aren't dead yet but get replaced. Keep them on your bed table and when you feel that funny tickle like a cold is coming on, put the buttons of the battery on your tongue. Yep. Just try it. Dirt swears by it. When he was the sound man for our old church he would test the cordless-mic batteries all the time (nine volts and if they went dead in the middle of a sermon, well you can see it would be very groovy) Any way in those three some years he never, and I do mean never, had a cold. And trust me at that same time everyone was coming up and talking real close to him. Everybody has something to say to the sound guy at church!Lannyhttp://www.itsthedirt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-8127458659048772182010-10-30T09:27:28.937-05:002010-10-30T09:27:28.937-05:00I think I will put new smoke detectors on the list...I think I will put new smoke detectors on the list. Thanks for the reminder. I did get my upstairs air conditioner taken out. The wind was blowing through that like a giant open window. I got the dog brushed last night and I need to hit it again in a couple of days. He changed in size with all the hair I brushed out.L.

Of course I remembered when the house filled with smoke. Neither of our smoke alarms went off. And both of them had fresh batteries. We promptly replaced them and their batteries with brand new ones.<br /><br />Chance looks wonderful. I wish I could give him a big hug!<br /><br />The DuchessEmma Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-46662394655172324072010-10-29T11:59:52.063-05:002010-10-29T11:59:52.063-05:00Chance is gorgeous, and thanks for the battery rem...Chance is gorgeous, and thanks for the battery reminder. I take my used batteries to the public library which has a bin where you place them and they are disposed of correctly. Don't throw the batteries in the garbage, I understand.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-83228290394577303022010-10-29T11:43:01.715-05:002010-10-29T11:43:01.715-05:00Just in case anyone wants to know brown is NOT my ...Just in case anyone wants to know brown is NOT my favorite color!!!
