When was the last time you had a Flat Tire ? There is no way I am answering that one! My car might be listening and give me one tonight! lol
Did you:
Change it yourself Yup!
or
Called someone
Bonus Question:
When will you start putting away your "winter clothes" and break out your "summer clothes" ? Not hard to do considering they are in the same closet! lol
Extra Credit Question:
Does your local TV news station have a "slogan" or "catch phrase" ? Problem is we don't really have a "local" TV station. All we get is Nashville stations and they forget about us about the Ky/Tn line.
When was the last time you had a Flat Tire ? Wow, longer ago that I thought...back in 1997 I think. I was moving to a different apartment that day and had 2 guy friends helping. After we'd loaded our cars up, noticed mine had a flat. Must have gotten it when I had run errands that morning, boo!
Did you: Change it yourself --no, but my 2 friends changed it for me. I remember being very upset and stressed over the move and they were great to change a tire and still help move me!
Bonus Question:
When will you start putting away your "winter clothes" and break out your "summer clothes" ? Mine all fit in one closet, but I will move the summer shirts to the bottom pole and move the winter ones up to the top pole just so I can reach the summer stuff easier. I did go through my daughter's closet yesterday and pulled out all the hand me downs and clearance clothes I bought last season for her...but now they're all in a bin in her closet since it's still cold here.
Extra Credit Question:
Does your local TV news station have a "slogan" or "catch phrase" ?
and it would be ? I have no idea. I usually watch Fox at 10p and still laugh at how hokey it is...I lived in DC for almost 10 years, where even the local news ends up being mostly national. Living here is nice b/c there are some feel good stories and such, but it's amazing how many mistakes are made during every broadcast!
Today's Yay,Yuck or Eh :
Brussel sprouts Yuck!
Okra Yummy, espcially in my gumbo, and crispy pickled ones are good too.
Sauerkraut Yummy again, but hardly have it b/c DH won't eat it.
Good morning all! It's dry today after all the glorious rain from yesterday!

Big Word Day- A day to use huge words on purpose just to impress. !!!!
In July 1999, driving a van loaded to the gills with the remnants that didn't go into the moving van, with two kids and a Labrador retriever, heading out on the final step of moving from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to South-Central Wisconsin. Spouse was already up here, as his job had started a month previously. That was the absolute worst trip of my life: the flat tire was followed by a dead battery the next morning, then the idler tension assembly and water pump fell off the van as I was driving at 70 mph outside of St. Louis at about 10:00 pm on the fourth of July.
Did you:
Change it yourself
or
Called someone
Called someone! I couldn't have gotten that overloaded van onto a jack if you held a gun to my head. And the poor fellow who showed up to help us discovered the hard way that I had pulled off the road right in the middle of a fire ant nest.
Bonus Question:
When will you start putting away your "winter clothes" and break out your "summer clothes" ?
I'll probably start pulling out a few summer items sometime in May, but the winter stuff won't get put away until mid to late June. I have known the high temperature here on the fourth of July to be in the 50s, so we don't ever pack away the warm stuff too deeply; you never know when you're going to need a sweater in August.
Extra Credit Question:
Does your local TV news station have a "slogan" or "catch phrase" ?
and it would be ?
Absolutely no clue. I don't even know what the local channels are. I don't watch television.
Today's Yay,Yuck or Eh :
Brussel sprouts
Yum!! Love 'em steamed into tenderness, then tossed around with some olive oil, garlic, shallots and balsamic vinegar.
Okra
Eh, it's ok in gumbo. Not a big fan otherwise.
Sauerkraut
Wonderful if it's prepared right! We like it best if it's well rinsed, then cooked with a tablespoon or so of brown sugar. A casserole full of kielbasa and kraut, or cabbage rolls and kraut, or ham and kraut is great comfort food!
When was the last time you had a Flat Tire ? Hmmm last year!
Did you:
Change it yourself drove around the corner to the tire shop or
Called someone
Bonus Question:
When will you start putting away your "winter clothes" and break out your "summer clothes" ? Some were out, some I got out, but the weather is very ify in the spring here so you have to be prepared for anything. I do change bedding though from a down comforter to a light spread and always do it too soon. Get spring fever
