Sometimes, around the homestead, we like a big, thick juicy, grilled cheeseburger. Yummmmmmmm......but these next 2, I think we can live without!


This is what a $100 Hamburger looks like. I showed it to hubby, he said "that looks good!" then I told him the price. He said, " Really? That is crazy! I'd give them 10 bucks for it, tho..maybe even $12.50"

Geesh, $100 is a good headstart to buying your OWN butchering steer, then before you know it, you'll own all the BEEF yourself.




Here is an instant artery clogging, asking for a heart-attack Cheeseburger. This burger has 1,000 calories and 45 grams of fat. I think KrispyKreme should stick to just donuts......

Y'all have heard the news, about the home-grown terrorists. As an American citizen, I think we should be harder (if that is possible) on these kinds of terrorists than others......These 'home-grown' idiots are citizens from our own soil, trying to get into cahoots with our Nation's worse enemies. Al-Qaeda being one of them. Our own citizens planning a terrorist attack on our own American soil is not acceptable, it is time the U.S. got busy in dealing with these whacks and giving them swift and severe punishment.

Call me susperstitious, or maybe it is my Native American heritage, but I whole-heartedly believe disturbing the dead is a very BAD idea. This story about the guy who seeks caver's body after 41 years is crazy. James Mitchell, who died 41 years ago, has been laid to rest in the spot where he died inside Schroeder's Pants Cave. After recovery efforts were exhausted 41 years ago, the cave's opening was dynamited, sealed, and a headstone placed there. Christian Lyon, 36yo, who has the okay of James Mitchell's family and local officials to recover Mitchell's body will be filming the event for a documentary. I am very suspicious of Mr. Lyon's personal intentions in this adventure. I think the dead shouldnt be messed around with.

Obviously this man doesnt know what hot-dogs are really made of! He gobbled 22 of them in 12 minutes. I bet he needed a rolaid afterwards or a purging session. I once saw a documentary in college about how hot-dogs are made and what products they consist of...........I do not eat many hot dogs after watching that. But, if you just cant resist, Oscar Meyer is the best brand to buy, or at least thats what they told me. If you have ever been to a slaughterhouse and seen the high-powered washers that strip all the flesh from the carcasses.......Ill just leave it at that, I know y'all have imaginations.

The man involved in the lawsuit: 'faulty-implant-gave-man-10-year-erection'

has been awarded $400,000 for his pain and suffering. Former handyman, Charles "Chick" Lennon, 68 yo, received the steel and plastic implant in 1996, about 2 years before Viagra went on the market. The Dura-II is designed to allow impotent men to position the penis upward for sex, then lower it when 'not needed'. Obviously, he could not lower his. The implant consists of a series of plastic plates strung together with steel surgical wire, almost like a roll of wrapped coins. Springs press against the plates, creating enough surface tension to simulate an erection. Ummm.........the majority of men I know, would never implant such a 'thing' into themselves.........craziness! This guy isint happy about his award, but if your gonna risk a surgery like that, I think its his own fault. I'd like some liposuction but the risks are NOT worth it, besides...I need a full body liposuction..ouch!

I was over at bored_in_kansas and took a quiz butterflychic26 had posted. This is what it said about lil ole me:

Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time." Conscientiousness: You have high conscientiousness. Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life. Most things in your life are organized and planned well. But you borderline on being a total perfectionist. Agreeableness: You have low agreeableness. Your self interest comes first, and others come later, if at all. In general, you feel that people are not to be trusted. And you're skeptical that anyone else really feels differently. Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is medium. You are generally broad minded when it come to new things. But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it. You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.

The Five Factor Personality Test

***********************

Yesterday evening our gray weather turned a tiny bit sunny with some cooler air, just 2-3 degrees, nothing drastic. I spent most of the evening outside just doing 'stuff' around the yard and horses. A couple of hubby's friends and one of his brothers stopped by on thier way home from fishing......I think they drank more beer than actually fished. Hubby offered them some of the roast I had cooked earlier, he thought maybe they needed to eat after all the beer they consumed. Hubby had already made a considerable dent in the big meal, they finished it off. It was pretty tastey I have to admit. Even Wee One ate a big plateful. So this morning when I woke at the ungodly hour of 4:45 am for no apparent reason, I set some flank steak out to thaw. One of the worse cuts tied only with shoulder steak! I am marinating it in some very potent sauce seasoned with a special soy recipe for the not-so-good beef cuts. I cubed it up into skewar sized pieces. Ill kabob them with onions and peppers on the grill this evening. I might attend the evening dances at Indian Camp, but I am still in this stupid phunk, which is leaving me in a NOT so sociable mood. So, I probably wont go. I took a 45 minute early morning ride before anyone was awake, even the rooster down the road. It was nice and peaceful, the old guy being the best company ever.
