Thread: It is gonna be a cold winter.

    Quote Originally Posted by Danke View Post
    This fall the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief Oyarde if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

    Since he was a chief in a modern society, he’d never learned the old tribal secrets. He couldn’t look at the sky to predict what the winter was going to be like.

    "It's going to be a very cold winter."

    So just to be on the safe side, Oyarde told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

    But after several days, Oyarde had an idea. He went to the reservation’s phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Will it be cold this winter?”

    “Oh, yes,” the meteorologist at the Weather Service replied, “It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold.”

    So the Chief Oyarde went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

    A week later, Oyarde called the National Weather Service again. “Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?”

    “Yes,” the meteorologist again replied, “It’s going to be a very cold.”

    The Chief Oyarde again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

    Two weeks later, Oyarde called the National Weather Service again. “Are you sure it’s going to be very cold winter?”

    “Absolutely,” the man replied. “It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.”

    “How can you be so sure?” the Chief Oyarde asked.

    “Simple,” the weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting a $#@!load of firewood.”

    Beautiful day. I worked most of it. Had an old man offer to let me taste his soup. I told him I didn't know him well enough to be tastin' his soup.

    I get to post on Mr A's lightening fast computer tonight because he's at work and told me to leave his computer alone. I would but I saw some comments Danke made that I need to respond to.

    Brought my 8 year old nephew to the MN State Fair today. Perfect weather, overcast and around ~70F.

    But, holly cow, was that placed packed. I think record levels.

    A sea of people in most spots.

    And we were not allowed to be armed...perfect place for a deranged shooter, etc.

    The bright side, what my nephew enjoyed the most, was "machinery hill" (that was not as crowded). Where he could sit and pretend to operate all kinds of equipment. He really wants me to get him this:


    But really wants something like this:

    Most carnies are men, the other workers are local. Local teenage girls, collecting tickets etc., not operating the rides.

    But I was with my nephew, so I behaved.

    The green thing looks pretty safe - probably safer than carnie rides.

    Beautiful day. I plan on enjoying the fruits my labor by lounging in the pool and day drinking.

    I need to relax. Yesterday, I had to work with the pettiest bitch I’ve ever had the displeasure to be acquainted with. She’s a know it all drama queen but she has a great ass - it bounces when she walks, lol.

    Beautiful dAy

    I’m ready for the pool but mr a is hangry and is fixing us some food. He’s making me shrimp and he’s having chicken carbonara and a loaf of cheese bread. Bless his heart, he was talking about losing weight this morning. If he doesn’t slow down, he’ll be as wide as he is y’all.

    Beautiful day

    Hoping to get in some pool time before we go to dinner. Mr A noticed I was wearing new earrings yesterday and commented that they look nice on my skin but were obviously fake opals. He hinted that I may get something pretty and shiny for my birthday. I suggested a computer - that would be pretty and shiny. I don't think he picked up what I was putting down. Anyway, I've decided to attempt a computer repair. I have two broken laptops that are the exact same. One works but I broke the screen and the other doesn't work but the screen is fine. I watched a Youtube video and tomorrow I'm going to try switching the screens while Mr A is at golf. Hopefully, I can repair a craptop and get some earrings for my birthday.
