July 8th, my father-in-law passed at home, taking his last breath in his son's arms. Three days later my mother-in-law had a stroke and is still hospitalized and won't be able to attend his funeral service tomorrow due to her stroke. My wife is a wreck. Today is her 44th birthday and I have no idea what to do to celebrate it with her. July can't get over fast enough! My condolences and prayers coming your way... Stay strong and take comfort through faith... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We assumed we were related. I was going to post on his passing. Led a fascinating life and a Hoosier legend for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Little Keet has his first ever football practice tonight. Our little community didn’t have football until I was well out school. I always wished they would have had it when I was in school, but now I find myself being the nervous dad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Hoopsier Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 My 3 yr old grandson and I were picking some black berries from our bushes this morning. There's only 4-5 that are ripe while the rest are all still red. He asks me, what do you call the red ones. I explained that they are still black berries, they are just not ripe black berries. He get that confused look on his face and says "I don't understand, they are not Black they are Red". Scratching my granpa head, I say... Well you know you are a little boy that is "this" tall right now, right? He says yes. I ask, What will you be when you are THIS^ tall... He says, "ripe?" We ate the Black ones with a big ole grin on granpa's face. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I wasn't sure if I should ask this in the DIY'er thread, the collectables thread, things that make you shake your head or here. @5fouls - Hypothetical... Asking for a friend. If you are sure that your 47 yr old 3rd wife is possessed by evil. What do you do? I mean, I haven't actually seeeeen her head spin on her shoulders, but I think all 3 dogs have by the way they look at me when she talks. they all have their Head cocked to the side, looking through the top of their eye lids (they are dachshunds so they are short anyway). I think two of them even had a paw under their chin. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, as far as her being possessed is concerned, try this spell. 1) 1 tablespoon vampire bat blood 2) 4 yellow Skittles 3) 1/3 cup of sugar 4) 6 ounces of grapefruit juice (must be Tropicana brand) 5) 7 squares of Ex-Lax 6) A random Conway Twitty song playing in the background 7) 4 horned frog hearts Works every time.
