I’ve got a few drafts started to post but can’t seem to get in the spirit of writing, lately. I guess I’ve hit the wall somewhat like a marathon runner does.But, I have to admit in full disclosure that is the only thing that I’d have in common with a runner. The only time that I will run is if I’m hungry and the restaurant is closing inn 2 minutes. Or, if I’m in line at a store that is giving away something to the first 20 customers. Or, I might run if being chased. But, that would totally depend on what I was being chased by….a wild boar, a mugger, a Jevohah’s Witness with a hand full of Watch Towers, etc.
OK….off topic AGAIN! Back to the original programming.
There has been many a time that I have sat down at my computer to write in this blog. But, instead, I have started blog surfing and reading and the next thing that I know, it’s morning and I’ve woke up with my head on my keyboard and the letters y,u,h,y, and k imprinted in my face for the next 24 hours. This might, also, explain why I’m having keyboard problems. I think that it just might be the mouth drool soaking the keys.
Below are a couple of the blogs that I read fairly regularly. I read them because they really make me laugh. And, they inspire me to blog in hopes that I will make somebody laugh.
To all my blogging buddies on my blogroll……No, I don’t think that these 2 blogs are any better than yours. As a matter of fact, I plan to post about my buddy-blogs in a future post. And, I strongly urge anyone who reads this to also click on some of my blog-friends’ links. You will discover some of the best insights into life via true stories ever.
But, for today, I present to you……..

MAD HAIKU…..THE BEST HAIKU EVER! If you like haiku, you’ll love this guy. If you don’t like haiku, you’ll love this guy. He makes me seriously laugh out loud evertime I visit his blog. Go give him a shout-out and tell him TPB sent ya.

Crabby Old Fart….The Trouble With Young People Today
COF aka Donald Mills blogs about what is wrong with young people today. From piercings to “disorders” and everything in between. Reading COF will remind you of your grandpa, your cranky next door neighbor, the hermit who lives in a tent on the outside of town, and lots more. He IS cranky. But, he is so damn lovable that you’ll find yourself wanting to bake him some cupcakes and have him over for coffee.
So, drop by Crabby Old Fart’s blog and tell him TPB sent ya.
Now, I’ve got to go shower. I’m meeting TPMidge for lunch. Then, I’ve got some ten dollar coupons from Penneys that have been burning a whole in my pocket for a week now. Being an obsessive shopper, I can’t resist the pull of the ten dollars of free stuff. It doesn’t matter that there is not a dadgone thing that I want there, it’s the excitement of getting something free. I’ll probably come back with a package of socks that no one can wear because they are too small or too large. But, I’ll feel great just knowing that I didn’t pay one cent for them.
That’s how an obsessive mind works. Don’t try to give me advice, analyze me, or fix me. I’ve learned to roll with it.



Ive had a blog blockage myself lately. I think its the constant rain! I mean, I am ready to build a damned ark.

mad…you are most welcome. I love your haiku!
Stan…scoreboard reading 5 bonus points. Hey, don’t give me that look. Those 3 old gals and 2 guys should’ve moved those walkers and canes out of my way. But, I’m not all bad. I did leave a note on the foot of one of the “victims”. It read, “Don’t blame TPB. It’s all Stan’s fault. He should not have influenced her by sending those magic penguins carrying “KILL KILL KILL” signs.
And, while I’m speaking of the penguins, might I ask you what they eat? Since they’ve been hanging around the trailerpark, several cats and a few dogs have gone missing.
Ta ta for now……underwater basket weaving starts promptly at 7:00 at that lovely overflow pond that O-You-Aint-Seen-Nuthin-Yet-bama’s illegal immigrant labor built down by the old mine shaft. Creative little furiners (trailerpark pronounciation of “foreigners) managed to salvage enough timber from the last mine ceiling cave-in to build a right handsome statue of their beloved leader. I just didn’t have the heart to tell them that it kinda looked like a turd with a head. I’ll leave that up to Darryl Hannah (who needs to keep her nose out of our buiness ’round here before she ends up in the ocean needing those Splash mermaid fins).
