Cook!  Make soup!!

Eat soup..

Look at the History channel.  See what happened 500 years ago.

Eat soup.

Look at the Health channel.  See how you can stay healthy.

Eat more soup.

Finish up all your sewing and mending.

Eat soup.

Don't be mean to your animals.   Let them eat some soup, too.

Read that boring book you started 2 years ago.  Let the book put you to sleep.  Take a long
nap.  When you wake up eat more soup.

Put all the Xmas things away.

Cook!  Make somemore soup!!

Boxman gave me the idea to give the snow plow drive the finger repeatedly. Then shout obsenities at him in hopes that he puts all the snow from the cul de sac in the driveway to make a ram so I can use my 4 wheel drive to jump thru snow to spread it all over. Then do a few snow donuts acting like I won a race waving a flag going wooohooo. ;D

Oh man, the other day the snow plow went thru and left a good pile.  He was still on the cul-de-sac.  So, I went down and shoveled it away.  Not sooner did I walk back to garage, but you see the truck pull back past my driveway, hesitate, and pushes snow back across my driveway.  Some people think that snowplow man is against them.  I KNOW.

Oh man..I have tried lemon trees several times with no luck.  Found out Saul has not been watering my mother in law's tongue in ND..he thought it was silk but said it looks beautiful..probably has roots growing into the radiator   :rofl;
Chris..I like your idea of a ramp.  I could be the flag waver or snowmobile driver.   :cheer:
Boxman..good thing you don't have my mail lady.  I live on a corner..she makes the turn on 1 and 1/2 wheels (has a jeep), throws the mail at the boxes..sometimes hits the boxes, most often hits the street and off she goes so we all generally have to pick up and swap mail..good thing all older people who take care of each other. If someone complains then her husband does the route for a few days..not much better.  However, if someone sends me a snowmobile, I will definately deliver your chinese food.    :rofl;
