Yes but the little wings keep sliding out of the shirt.

Why did I see that one coming..

I'm not so good on the grilling. Last time I tried I almost burnt the house down.

Move the grill AWAY from the house. biggrin

once I grilled a whole chicken on the rotisserie and forgot to tie his wings up and the dang bird caught fire and made a big scene in my back yard...or wait was that ME screeching and looking for the hose, rake anything all the while the dogs are barking and chasing me certain it was a game, I got the hose and turned it on and dang dog tripped me, as I crashed to the now wet soggy grass, all four dogs leap on me for kisses and hugs and I am waving that dang hose all over and yet all the water was managing to pour back ON me.... I peeled dogs off and crawled to my feet clutching the hose and as I reach the grill my DS is standing there and looking at me like I lost my mind! I looked and he had turned grill off, and kept lid closed and flames went out, but I had a truly black version of a blackened chicken~

I have never attempted it since...and there was the time I tried to fry a turkey ....

I would have paid to watch that.

Oh, how I wish someone had recorded this scene. ROTF

That was also one of the um, incidents, that lead my sister to make the rule that my BIL and I were not allowed to cook together

... when you are proud of your DGS (who is black), who walks into a black church (while he is with his white friends) and states loudly, "these are my PEOPLE!".

That's adorable. I'm thinking he got some chuckles from the church attendees as well... smile

Czech, that is definitely a cute story, little ones are just so much fun!

It's not really all that exciting, lol. But, i told my son, who is 19, to put a new toilet seat on in the kids' bathroom. Seemed simple enough. But, the old seat had metal screws with plastic bolts. He tried everything he could from a wrench and so forth but could not get those plastic bolts to budge. And, the wrench just compressed them and we could get them to turn. So, he went on to youtube and it suggested using a blowtorch to melt the plastic bolts. Made sense. So, we got the blow torch. Actually, we used a scraper and heated the edge of it with the blow torch and then used that to start loosening up that bolt. Then, i think he figured he could directly melt it so he did. And, that worked and he finished the job! biggrin

Riding · Guru

well all's well that ends well, and thank goodness you did not have one of those puffy plastic seats

imagine that melted all over

My grandparents had one and I lived with them on their ranch til I was 4, and that is all we had and NO electricity, but I was not trusted with candles...or you never know biggrin biggrin

it was totally awesome

I did not burn it down, but my cousin who was 6 and I was 5 and her sister was 4, we *might* have been playing cowboys and riding our horses around the fenced in area....and *just possibly* made the 4yoa be the saloon girl who served us grape juice when we rode up parched in the dead of a HOT South Dakota summer. And being the tough cowboys we were, we told the saloon girl she had to stay INSIDE the saloon AKA the outhouse with the door shut, we rode up and hollered....I am suprised she survived it could get pretty YUCKY inside with door shut!

ahhh the good old days we still laugh about the fun times at our grandpas and grandmas

LOL! A wonderful memory filled story!

I also remember the dreaded outhouse on the farm. Hot and smelly in the summer, cold and stinky steamy in the winter, if you know what I mean.

We always had reading material. Sears and Robucks, JC Penny, Gerney's seeds, etc. and the catalogues had "other" uses. wink

Oh, and wasps for company in the fall.

No matter the time of the year, you got your business done quick. wink

LOL true that Czech

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Oh crap. EVERY summer we spent a week with my parent's friends at their camp in Maine. Outhouse all the way. I hated that thing. Thank my lucky stars I wasn't a drinker when I was 5!

Where the he11 do you think we hid when we started drinking at the age of 14?

No one is going to go looking for you "there". wink

My brother said he took his first "nip" in there at the age of 11.

Dad would have killed us..

LGS, the secret is all in the handling. Gentle does it and DON'T over-knead it. Just a couple of quick flips, then roll it out. Good luck!

......You think you can easily put up some suspended ceiling tiles. And, easily cut them after your son's GF overflowed the first floor bathroom. No problem right? Well, then you watch Youtube which looks easy. Then, when you actually cut the damnsonofabeithfruckingfreaking tiles, they disintegrate like the shredded , pressed paper schit that they are! And, instead of it taking you 15 min to replace 10 tiles it takes you 2 sonofabeitchtfruckingletheworlddie weeks! Bastard!!!
