Well now I have an excuse for not making the bed, BBC News article suggests leaving the bed unmade helps kill off the dust mites that inhabit the mattress.

Another BBC article about a squirrel getting into a device designed to stop squirrels getting into bird feeders and getting stuck.

Saw another unusual BBC News article, some artist had an ear made of cartilage and then implanted onto his forearm, weird to say the least: BBC News ear of forearm article

I got a small Lord of the Rings Gollum figure recently that says “My precious.” Carolyn just surprised me with a much larger version that says 22 phrases, sings the fish song and comes with two interchangeable heads. Now I need to sort the desk out to find room.

Me: Mmm this smells so much like chocolate goodness, I’m drooling.

Carolyn: Huh uh.

Me: I’m going to eat it, chocolate, yum.

Carolyn: Okay.

Me: I’ve been wanting chocolate now I’m going eat it all.

Carolyn: Fine, wait! Chocolate, we don’t have any chocolate, if I remember rightly you ate the chocolate before anyone else could get some.

Me: Smell this lovely Hershey’s chocolate. Down the hatch.

Carolyn: What are you talking about? Wait, give me that you’re not eating that.

Me: It’s mine, I want the chocolate.

Carolyn: Give it here, that’s mine and you are not bloody eating it, you ejjit.

Me: But it is Hershey’s and smells divine.

Carolyn: Divine! What are you on numb skull? Give that to me or you’ll feel my wrath.

Me: Here fine, I only wanted to eat the Hershey’s.

Carolyn: You cannot eat my Hershey’s chocolate lip balm, you put it on your lips not in your mouth!

Me: Fine! I’m leaving and don’t try and stop me.

Carolyn: Fine! Go see if I care.

Me: Okay, I’m gone.

Carolyn: Wait, where are you going?

Me: I told you I crave chocolate, I’m going to the store to get some. Want any?

Carolyn: Yeah, get me a Three Musketeers will ya.

Me: Okay, er, can I have some money?

Edit: Wife just got home from work and is sitting in office I picked up lip balm again and she told me to get her bag. She got me some Hershey’s Halloween chocolate, dang she knows me so well.

I just posted something my Dad sent me this morning via email on the other blog. I am encouraging him to keep writing, maybe get his own blog updated.

Guest post by Dad at Notebook Meanderings

I am upstairs feeding Max the rabbit, he is busy trying to tear my arm off to get the handful of hay I am trying to get in his cage.

Carolyn is downstairs and calls up for me to bring something down for her.

“I’ll be right down dear, ” I shout as I close up the cage. I get down the two flights of stairs and standing at the bottom realize my hands are empty.

Dang. They say life begins at 40, well, the dementia must start at 41!

I cannot for the life of me remember what the wife asked me to bring literally seconds before. I walk into the kitchen to ask her, wondering why there is a bra laying across the microwave, she has her back to me. I start to say something and she turns around, pulls up her top, and I stop in my tracks and the words explode from my mouth;

“UNFETTERED BOOBAGE!”

We both just crack up laughing and I fall into her arms. Ten years of marriage and she still gets me every time, hot, flushed and grinning like a loon.

“What did you ask me get?”

“I’ve no idea,” she answers.

I guess at 49 the memory don’t get any better.

“Well does it?”

“Yes, yes I think you now have an ass.”

“Cool.”

Got no rear?, pants always slipping down? Get yourself some padded panty action going on. I crap you not! Check that link and you too can be the proud owner of a more padded firmer rear end, just don’t put them on backwards.

I assume these are for those people who want to be more “bootylicious” or genuinely have no rear. Get a more curvy profile so to speak. There must be a market of these and I am guessing they are comfy to sit on for long periods.

They do personalized underwear too, “Dear, why does your thong say ‘Bob’ on them?”

“I thought it was a cool name for my box.”

Aside: Oh and I know here in the US you call an ass a fanny, but in the UK the fanny on a woman is around the front. We don’t call them fanny packs we call them bum bags.
