Wrinkles, Pets, and Etiquette

Howdy!

One more holiday to go! Man this year has flown by and I just keep gettin older. Every time I look in the mirror I see a new wrinkle by my eyes, or my mouth. I gave up on using Prep H a long time ago. Somebody told me years ago it would shrink out the wrinkles. Made sense to me. If it shrinks hemorrhoids then it's bound to shrink a few wrinkles. I used to plaster it on my face most nights. It was a little sticky, but it was for a good cause. Now I just plain don't care........ until I look in the mirror and the face that stares back at me favors my Granny. Ouch!

Talkin about Prep H reminds me of a dog I used to own. I came home from work one day and she had opened the lower cabinet door in the bathroom. I kept seeing these little pieces of something on the carpet. Well, it was tiny bits of the Preparation H tube. That was when they still used metal tubes. I panicked, cause we didn't want her to die, so I called the vet. He answered the phone and I explained my dilemma and he tried to smother the laugh, but I heard him. He asked my identity and I told him, "Not on your life." He told me to go read the ingredients on the tube and tell him what was in the medicine. I laughed and said I would have to go to the store cause she ate the dadgum thing. I did and called him back and he said there was nothing that would kill her. I guess the metal in the tube mixed with the gooey salve and came on down. Now that was hilarious.

I was thinkin today about attitudes. I have one, sometimes it's good and then when somebody looks at me cross-eyed it goes south in a New York minute. I decided to make a list of do's and don'ts, kinda like rules of etiquette, but real short and simple.

1. Place nice
2. If they don't play nice # 1 is cancelled
3. Share and share alike
4. If they don't share #3 is cancelled
5. Take a bath before you go visit
6. #5 is never cancelled
7. Just smile, even if you don't like someone
8. #7 is cancelled if they badmouth your youngins
9. When you go visitin, leave the pet skunk at home
10. #9 is cancelled if you're visitin your inlaws

And that my friends is the redneck holiday etiquette guide.

I gotta go, I'm still workin on my Wish List for Christmas. I might share some of my ideas with y'all  if I finish it this week.

Remember, stop and smell the roses, that is unless there's a bee roostin on the bloom.

Until Later,
