My Mother had some great sayings;
"leaning toward Sawyers"'
On seeing a person pulling at his underwear - "He must be going to the movies. He's picking out his seat." Yeah, that's gross.

I had a friend who said about someone who looked disheveled. "She looks like she was rode hard and put up wet."
"I was in such a hurry I only had time to sh--, shave, and saddle up."

Marilyn, Aroostook Centre Mall is having a craft fair. Today I spotted a bracket fungi, with a line drawing of a deer.

Price tag? $45! ... Told the lady I would have bought it, had it been a crow.

From June 1 to July 31, Presque Isle District Court handled 175 cases. Two involved littering.

Both men, ages 38 and 48, are from Mapleton. ... Each received a $100 fine.

Marilyn, tree was too DEAD to identify. ... Everytime I tell where things are here on the COM, they tend to disappear!

I have been outside w/ camera ... found this lichen & moss w/ red blossoms (?) ... which one flowers ?? Does anyone on here know, 'cause I sure don't!

This is one of my favorites

jeepers \'jeep-urz\ interj - Corrupted form of the pejorative "Jesus," used in a manner similar to "jeez", "frigg", and "friggit". Although used interchangebly as an exclamation of frustration or wonder, jeepers can be considered the child-friendly (and therefore, acceptable) version of other pejoratives that are used in a similar manner; "Jeepers! The blackflies are some bad!" See also: Geehover, holy-liftin', jeez, frigg.

My favorite is when I hear someone swearing, If I hear "Son of A Bit--" I know I am in the "city", If I hear "Son of A Who--" I know I am in the County.

Snappers do very well in the Everglades but not at the beach..nothing can survive the worlds greatest predator..Tourists.

Daisy, I recently read a story about a woman that lived near the beach and every year she would find the nests where the turtle eggs were and she staked them so no one would disturb them and checked them every day with her little granddaughter and knew pretty much when they would hatch, if the were lucky they got to watch. it was interesting.

Well, bobby c, if they hatch you can always take them to the beach and release them; it would be interesting to see how much harm an adult snapper wld cause to a croc!

Daisy

They won't hatch in the mail will they..cause if they do I am not eating them.
