Eatin’ Varmits In The Woods

dj50 — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 16:02:37 +0000

Okay, this is something that I’ve never done or would ever do. A friend of mine recently, told me the craziest story. She says when she was young, she, her brothers and cousins would get hungry while playing in the woods and would catch things to eat. It might be a rabbit, a squirrel, a bird, a turtle or a mixture. They would kill it, clean it and then cook it.

UNBELIEVABLE

Crazy co-workers!!!

dj50 — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:51:37 +0000

Dealing with the delusions of my co-workers is really wearing on me. One thinks everybody……male or female, wants her. She’s always telling me stories about whenever she goes out, she’s given phone numbers from people she encounters. She claims one man friend bought her a car, a woman friend pays her cell phone bill, and she lives at home helping support her family but she doesn’t have to work because she has so much money!!!! Sometimes when she gets to work, she’s tanked but the higher ups don’t seem to mind. She’s always having health issues, real or imagined, and she swears that she hardly ever eats……..I’m guessing her meals are mostly liquid!!! Her sister also works there and seems to like the liquid diet as well. I don’t think she’s worked a whole week for years. Either one of her kids are sick or she is…….usually on payday Friday or the Monday after, probably because of “The Gray Goose” flu.
