The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

I did say the recluse was more troublesome. But we had an issue last year of a blackwidow setting up home in the mailbox... she kept the junk mail overnight till hubby came home with some heavy duty Bengal spray. Its worse than you think, I'm too short to see in the mailbox so I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach up to it only to grab blindly at what's inside. I'm barely 5'1, like my shoes qualify me as 5'1.

So what yer sayin' is that one of these days hubby will have a good shot at pulling off the "rubber snake in the mailbox" gag.

He better not!

[cdbd3rd]

He better not!

As a hubby myself, I will admit that knowing "he better not" doesn't always stop me.

My favorite was the rubber-snake-along-the-top-of-the-door gag when she was coming home from w*** one day. I did learn the meaning of "I shouldn't have" that day.

Had to kick the dog outta the doghouse did you?

The mass of rags in the corner continues to rustle and shake. tattered gloves that look to be filled by no more than bones, if that at all, beat about causing eruptions of dust resembling volcanic plumes.

The faint hint of a melody drifts. Sounds, also shapeless and amorphous gain volume and coalesce into ... " Hi hooooo, Hi ho, Hi ho, its off to **** I go"

I was not allowed to disturb the dog in such a manner.

Well, the after-weekend report has some news.

My boy was in his first wreck Friday afternoon on his way to w***. Highway pinball involving 4-5 cars. No one hurt, just some torn up vehicles. Not sure where the blame will fall. All reports were turned in to the responding officer, and the insurance companies will work it all out.

However, his car was only covered by liability so the funds I had for Gen Con trip are being diverted to repairs. joy.

Sorry to hear that Cd. *hugs* Glad your kid is okay!

[cdbd3rd]

Had some decent DD rolls this weekend. (Would be more if we ever get another double XP weekend)

Couple upgrade tomes here & there. One I could even use immediately on the character that rolled it.

Then this one:

The Daily Dice gods are really trying to get me to play on Khyber more... That roll^ and this one were both there...

[cdbd3rd]

Thanks, Ael. Plus the other folks involved, even including the one who's probably gonna stir problems.

I'm with Ael, glad no one was seriously hurt.

Also glad you had funds on hand, even if they were earmarked for something else. Digging out of debt is harder than accumulating savings a second time...

Made a box for my paints.
Used an old chocolate box, cardboard, bit of elastic and super glue.
The case closes up properly and has a handle, so I can carry it around easily. The brushes lift out so I can put the pallet underneath it.

Thoughts?

Very Nice DB!

That looks awesome.

Thinks to self, 'Well, not the weirdest thing I've ever seen here.' The permanent mental vision of Dwarven Speedos again pops unbidden to mind. >_<

So, Bek... starting a new fashion trend?

Heh, heh, you should be glad I thought about that too... eesh! >_<

So I guess an explanation is in order...

Well; ummm remember the conversation we had the other day where CD recounted his encounter with the Bees...

So... this morning, I get home from w*** and it's a pleasant 68°. A good morning to get caught up on some of my lagging yard-chores. Doing this, that, & some other and find myself pulling weeds from along an old timber retaining wall along where I have my firewood stacked. Am country enough to watch carefully for hiding spots for scorpions & snakes. However, been too city'fied to think about wasps nesting among the logs....

Very lucky it was still chilly when I rolled that nest upside down. Dozen or so wasps took just long enough to take wing that I was able to backpedal out of immediate range. 10 degrees warmer and I'd have had a face full of them. After dispatching them, decided it was enough yard work for the day.


Heh. And some people go to the gym to get their heart-rates up.

Because of where we live, we educate our kids about scorpions, copperheads, rattlesnakes, water moccasins, wasps, cow killer ants, fire ants, black widows and the more troublesome brown recluse. We're very close to the coast so at least ticks aren't a major worry.

And I said I said I react rather poorly to Bee's and several other "Bitey, Stingy, type insects....

Yeesh!

More than a few things on that list...

Fire Ants, Wasps, (more specifically) White faced hornets; and not to mention the scorpions and snakes
could give ol’ Bekki a fast trip to the hospital...
If not the afterlife...

I is allergic to a few of those...

Glad you got out unscathed there CD.

Well, over the weekend I'm doing some Yard W***

Putting some border stones against the fence line to keep out ground hogs.

(They don't like them because they can fall in the hole and disrupt their digging.)

When I realize "hey I need dirt to fill in the hole, so I can place the stones this spot."

So I decide to clear some leaves in the corner of my yard...

This will A. Clear the leaves and debris; and B. Free up the ground (where there is no grass due to the leaves.) Kill two chores at once right... Riiiight...

Yeah, I can rake the leaves, so I can scrape some dirt and fill the holes in. I think to myself "What a smrt idea. I can even plant grass in the corner too, this’ll be great!" Uhmm Yeah. It didn't go that way.

I proceed to rake the leaves and inadvertently expose a hive of bee's that made their nest in the ground. Let's just say they were 'displeased' with my intrusion.

I run for the hills, (Rake in hand) get to the back steps and begin swatting furiously
as I realize I had several "hitchhikers". Unfortunately, it was later in the day and they were much more active...

So, a trip to the hospital later; and an overnight stay... (I was kept overnight for observation...) Yup; it twas not my finest hour...

Add to that the wife (not to be outdone decides to drop the back seat of the new outback on her hand and proceeded to break her thumb.

So another trip to the doc for X Rays... and we need to see the hand specialist Friday. The fun part is trying to get her to STOP USING IT!

She can be rather stubborn and independent. (I love her for it, but it can be frustrating at times.)

So it's been a rather eventful week at the Bekki household.
