"Jodi Huisentruit has never been found. She disappeared on June 27, 1995, while on her way to work as a news anchor in Mason City, Iowa. Despite extensive investigations, searches, and new developments over the past 30 years --" Very pretty young woman, snatched from the station parking lot when she arrived for work as I recall. Lots of publicity but no results.
Damn!! That looks like a fun couple to hang out with. I bet they would truly enjoy life as many others wish they could. :cool: :lol: :lol:
In her 80's my mother, who was in great physical shape, decided that she needed a handicap tag because so many of the others in the bowling league and card club etc. were getting them. She approached her doctor on the subject and she obtained one. When she told me that she had obtained one she also said that she wasn't going to use it unless she was in a larger city nearby because she didn't know what to say if one of her friends noticed it and wanted to know what her handicap was. I told her to tell them it was "mental". She dropped the subject.
She remained if good health until she suffered a stroke at the age of 99.
Business as usual. I had some prescriptions mailed to me from 25 miles away on Friday of last week and they still haven't been delivered.
A couple of weeks ago the local County Treasurer sent out a letter to the business establishments cautioning them that they had to be certain that payments arrived on time when they are due on the appointed dates. The Treasurer warned that the Post Office could not be trusted to deliver on time. They further stated that if you were to depend on a mailing date to assure timely legal delivery that you would have to take the items to the Post Office and request that they be hand stamped in your presence as the automatic handling systems might not mark the item for several days. They suggested that you allow ten days or more for physical delivery of first class items and that it might be best to send time-critical items by certified mail.

The penny postcard days are gone forever as are the three cent first class letters that actually received first-class service.

Do you ever get to the point where you think you have enough guns?


The term "enough" is not truly applicable to firearms.

My wife was grumbling when she asked "Is there a corner in this house that doesn't have a gun in it?"
My response was "I hope not, but let me know if there is and I will get it fixed." :lol:
That sounds like a real melt. Seems like the young fellow was just doing the job that he gets paid for. I would imagine that it was just as cold out there for him too but he was there because he had an obligation to fulfill while you were out there for fun. :rolleyes:
Cancer Eye. Not totally uncommon in cattle, especially in some breeds. I have had several that had it over the years, there is no cure and if you try to sell it the carcass is condemned.
Well, the last formal test that I took came out at 135, but I don't think that I could score that high any more since I have been following Tiger Droppings now for a while. :rolleyes:

:lol: :lol:
Be careful with that Ozone generator, they are known to have a damaging effect on the household electrical wiring among other things. Ask google if you doubt me.
LINK to slow motion video showing her hitting him. Not the officer by the door but the one in front of the vehicle.
Nope Mingo, I won't be 90 for another 15 months. I will be starting my 90th year in 3 months.
I have to admit though that I enjoy the hell out of tiger droppings.
Mingo, you sound like somebody that goes around the used clothing stores smelling other people's underwear.
Marriage is a wonderful institution for those who feel the need to be institutionalized.
I was there for 7 years while she was everywhere else with somebody else.
I divorced her finally and kept the kids, the house and the car.
Was lonesome as hell until I met the right gal. We've been happily married over 61 years now. It isn't so bad to be institutionalized after all.

It was the outdoor board brought this old geezer to infest tiger droppings as well.
Merry Christmas everyone.

re: USPS is a joke

We are OLD and old-fashioned and live near a small rural community. We pay all of our bills by check and the late notices have been getting more frequent even when the checks were mailed promptly. It has come to the point that the slow delivery by USPS is affecting our credit rating.
Something mailed from 25 miles away used to arrive the next day but now with the "improved service" that envelope first travels 52 miles down the road to a town 38 miles away from us, the next improved act is to transfer it by truck114 miles to a sorting hub where it is sent to a distribution center from which it is eventually re-sorted and ultimately routed by multi-stopped truck to our local post office. Travel time? Five to 7 days seems to be the minimum.

I accidentally caught a huge Dalmatian or Dalmatian-Dane cross in a coyote snare set in a fence crawl-under gap. The only collar he had on was the one that ended his life. He was so mangy that most of his body was one big scab and it hardly had enough hair to determine his color. I wouldn't touch him and used snares to grip his feet to drag him into the pickup box.
Strange thing, there had been reports in the community of some strange large dog wandering the town and adjacent rural areas at night. It was never reported to have been seen, but the tracks were seen everywhere after a snowfall including on our own front porch and that of my mother's house. That all ended when he did.

Beef producers raised prices when costs went up,

That is the dumbest statement made on this site for a day or two. Farmers and Ranchers never establish the price at which their products sell, they can only sell on a contract basis with preconditions offered by the buyer or they can sell on the open market at whatever the current buyers are willing to pay. In either event they are at the mercy of the buyer and are faced with a take-it-or-leave-it situation.
