    LOL, I think this stuff multiplies overnight. Got it done finally in about three days after I picked up the log splitter my farmer friend was kind enough to loan me. First picture shows a before, second picture is an in-progress, third is one of the wood racks that holds a face cord when level, fouth is a 16 ft long wood rack and last is what is left to stack or something. Ain't ya proud of me? I know, I know, I'mma gonna need to build some more wood racks for all that stuff in the big pile that is left.:eek: I got somebody coming over to buy a bunch of it though so I think I'll let them dent the pile first. :evil:

    It was a vague reference to how much wood Posey has split. C'mon, people.

    Well, I'm like crushed I tell ya*snif, snif* :bang: That was hard work and FINALLY the mess crap sh*t arse yard is getting like cleaned up from the hurricane and it is starting to look real nice, well OK NOT, but better sorta kinda better before the next hurricane season starts. *Snif, snif* I also got all the weeds and long grass and stuff cut around those nanner trees and put bark down and everything. *Snif*. Now if portions of my yard would just stop sinking cause the remnants of the roots from the big trees I lost would stop rotting and sinking into the ground I could like get a bulldozer thingie over here and even the ground out or something. :clap: Who wants to buy some wood? :evil: You pay shipping. :D

    And may I say how happy I am to see you, as always! How's those doggiepups of yours?

    Hi MJ and Karen. Thanks for the kind words. You are two classy girls I tell ya.

    The pupperdogs are amazingly alive and well and kicking. Who woulda thunk. Sasserfrasser was supposed to be dead months ago but she is on supportive therapy whenever she whines I give her a big hit of antacids and antihistimines. No tumors have shown back up on her but Congo has oodles of new ones. They don't seem to be bothering her though. No more bleeding incidences with Mallakie and am waiting on his genetic tests to come back. Thanks for asking.

    I know you didn't need to be rude and you left the H off of Christ too. Also, I tried to rent-a-kid from across the street. *Not as costly or annoying as having my own.* He was supposed to come at 9 AM. At 9:30 he still hadn't shown up or called and I said to hell with it and hired 2 big old black dudes (that were working next door) to come back the following day. They helped for about 4 hours moving the biggest pieces up to the log splitter for me. Apparently, the father of the rent-a-kid dragged him over here late but by then I had the security gate shut and the log splitter going so I didn't hear them. In any event, his behavior didn't give me a whole lot of confidence in how helpful he would have actually been. Guess I'm a mean b*tch or something but when I was a kid I woulda never pulled that kinda stuff when I wanted somebody to pay me money. I'm kinda bummed though cause I thought if he worked out I could have a sorta long term rent-a-kid when you need one relationship going. I mean he did come over here in the summer looking for lawn work and might have been a motivated person.

    You don't need no stinkin' rent a kid, especially a teen-aged kid that has to be dragged over by his father. uh uh. Give me two big old black dudes anyday. They are reliable, hard working, in this country legally and they speak English!
    The kid would have been texting all the time anyway.

    Kids drive me batshit. They're supposed to have a work ethic when they get here. This isn't a training camp. And if they didn't wanna leave Mommy, they shoulda stayed home.
