Joke - I couldn't resist!

We all know by now that Hostess has decided to close rather than negiotiate a fair agreement that will benefit both parties. And, the jokes have started. This one gave me an outright laugh!

Hostess Bakery plants

will be shut down on Monday and will be split up. 

 

The Twinkies go to the State Department,

 

the Secret Service get all the HoHos,

 

the Generals get the Cupcakes and

 

all the Ding Dongs went to Congress.

 

We all know the employees are now without their Wonder bread and butter!  ANOTHER case of people now out of work before the holidays. I wish them the best.

 

I can't believe I don't have a pic of a twinkie! What a bummer. The ding dongs I have aren't the chocolate cupcakes.

 

I hope you all have a good chuckle from the joke, have no one who works for Hostess, and have a good day.  I think I need to put my free snow sign out by the road for the season!

Clothespins & Bag/Hanger

I am needing one of the clothespin jobby-do's for hanging on the clothesline. I do think it will need an extra pocket as I've lost too many of these with the clothes pins in them! I'm not stupid and thought there would be a trail of clothespins so I could retrieve the hanger. I had also smashed the hanger down some so it shouldn't blow away so easily, but, alas, they have just plain dissapeared. Weird! I think I'll make my own and then add a "zip strip" to it to keep it on the line! AND I'll put a small rock or couple of stones in the extra pocket! Maybe with enough zip strips and stones, I might be able to keep it under control.

I could also complain about the crappy, weak clothespins that sell these days, but I'll spare you. IF you happen to find any GOOD ones that will hold a pair a jeans or sweatshirt on the line without using 20 clothespins, please let me know! I gave up on my recent load of laundry and brought them in damp yesterday. I had to keep picking up shirts and all that were wind-ripped off the line inspite of an excess of clothespins. I had to pick up a bunch (BUNCH) of clothesping and put them back together tooooo many times. So I brought them in and hung what I could. Then I draped pants on the furniture to finish drying. The cats enjoyed the fresh laundry!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

 

 

I don't know where this photo came from, only that it's a military photo from years ago when our military had horses. So I thought it would be a great photo to share on Veterans' Day.

 

Today I got to meet a friend's hubby who just returned from Afghanistan. He's home on leave and returns to base just before Christmas. It was nice to be able to say "thank you" to one of our current "troops".

 

I hope our vetrans and current military have had a good Veteran's Day and "THANK YOU!" to all of them.
