@ Bighuey ... you remind me of that country song .. do you know the one where the real droll guy lists all the things that have gone wrong & ends each verse with 'it's just one darn think after another'?. It's more of a monologue than a song.
This will annoy me all night now trying to think of that song.

Oh bless you ... I'll be able to sleep now. Thank You, Thank You :D

That could be the song that was popular when I was a kid, where he says his roof leaks and his wife left him and all kinds of misfortune. Dont remember who sang it, could have been Hank Sr. or Little Jimmy Dickens.

I'm not very impressed with my new bed. I've had it for two months now and it wasn't cheap. For the last month it has been killing my back. My back feels fine until I lay in bed for an hour. And I'm in misery. I've been in a state of constant wooziness for the last two weeks from popping over the counter muscle relaxers. I slept last night on my 75$ crappy couch and woke up feeling great. :x Maybe my body just rejects luxury. Maybe I should pay some young couple to break in my bed for me.
Silence is golden but duct tape is silver. :D

I know what you mean, the most comfy bed I ever had was an old saggy mattress that was falling apart but i slept like a baby on it. Make sure they are a big heavy young couple that could really break it in good.

I'm shocked! :shock: I've been watching my post count for 3 days so I could celebrate when I hit 1000 posts and somehow, I missed it. I just looked at it and saw that this will my 1012 post. Oh, well.....

WHOOOO-HOOOOO! I broke 1000 posts! YAY! :mrgreen:

I've been staring at it for a while and can't figure out what's that either :P

Congrats, Teesie :D

LMAO!!! I knew it would stir up some interest....lol...

It's actually an authentic Cherrokee Indian Spirit Stick. I'm not entirely certian what kind of animal it was made from, probably a wolf or coyote. They were used by Cherokee Medicine Men/Women in rituals and ceremonies of healing and blessing. We found this one in a craft/souvineer shop when we went to Cherokee, NC a few years back. I wanted to bring it home cause I though it was cute in a weird creepy sort of a way, but I wasn't about to pay $150 for a dead animal to hang on my wall. Plus who knows what kind of energy is attached that thing.... Here's a full size picture of it. :mrgreen:

Wasnt there some Indian tribe that carried dead rats or squrrrils or gophers or something like that around their necks? It was supposed to give them courage in battle I think.
