Who can I tell? My Wife is Poisoning me.

    There isn’t really anyone who you can call regular or normal, for the most part. So, when you’re a guy like me, you tend to find it rare that you get along and have a lot of the same interests and ideas as another. Basically, when you’re like me, it is rare to find someone who you really feel like you can be yourself around, without holding back. Everyone out there can relate to that! For me, there have only been a small handful of those people, in my life.

This is just the tip of the iceberg… on to my main thought.

    I remember seeing a show about a girl, who’s mother was poisoning her food. The girl became sick and no one knew why. The little girl suspected that her mother had been poisoning her.

    Today I was thinking on this. Who would I tell: I think my wife is poisoning me. You would have to tell someone who would trust you. That person would have to trust you so much that they would not think you were crazy. Even if they thought you were crazy, they would still trust you enough to help you.

     If When my wife starts poisoning me, the only person I could actually bring myself to share my suspicions with is my wife. I suspect she will tell the truth.

Where have all my Cowboys gone to?

    Been wondering what all of my friends are up to. We’ve all been spread abroad… maybe it’s for our own good, like at the Tower of Babel. Now all of my friends (that I hang out with) are stable, normal and over fifty years old… my friends are grandparents. This not bad.

    The past few days I have been working on our store’s new catalog. In the process, I have been learning how to use QuarkXPress. Rachel really wants to be in the catalog but all of the photos that are being used are my “re-editions” of stock photos from the manufacturer. My plan is to sneak her face into a wave or her reflection, in the eye of a fish. Either way, I am going to be editing some photos at home to add some extra fingers and other oddities which tend to only be noted subconsciously. That is what I like to consider my signature.

    One of my youngest friends, Noraa, showed me some tricks for keeping my tomato plants healthy… it was amazing. At first, I had a twerpy plant, then I applied his advice and pulled off some useless branches. BOOM, in a couple of days the tomatoes were growing faster and the plant grew one-third, larger! Thanks Norra!
    On another garden note, I planted some cucumbers and once they get a little bigger then seedling size, they take off! Every now and then I go out to make sure they are not strangling any of the other plants. Cucumbers are a vine plant. For about 4 days, I left them to themselves and they are taking up almost half the garden! There are a lot of flowers, lets hope we have enough warmth in the year to get some produce! If I get a lot, everyone is going to get a cold cucumber in the mail!

And how do you like that, Spartan!?
