Why thank ye kindly, Marcia! I knowed this dun brought out tha inner red-neck in ya, didn't it? LOL! I'm working on a piece whining about my rotten in-laws and how they ruin Christmas! (I think I did one like that a couple years ago, too, but it's MIA. Hmmmm, hubster may have destroyed the evidence! LOL! ) Oh, there is no end to the kinda trouble I can get into when I start letting stuff outta my head! I think my red-hair is a way of warning people of danger if they come too close! LOL!
Whall, y'll have a grand ol' daddy o' a holiday season and quit yer poachin' squirrel offa my land! Ya hear? Big Hugs, B. ······· ·······I am who I am.

Whal, seein' as it tis Crimuss n' all, I 'spose I kin overlook a squirrel er two jest best stay 'way from them thar possum or I ain't be havin' no Crismuss supper at my shack! Now, if yer keen on it, mebbe I kin even give ya a squirrel er two ifn' ye'd point that ol' shot gun at the mean ol' rottin' shrew of a muther-in'tlaw I got me. Then I'd see my way straight ta give ya all the squirrels ya culd ever dream of! I give ya me word on that! I"d be o' like mine ta do the same ta yers ifn' ya need me to!
Oh, best stop now before I get myself into some real trouble, Marcia! LOL! I"m sure you've seen that forwarded email about removing the stains from killing the mother-in-law. Well, I printed that one up and framed it! LOL! You have yourself a Merry Little Christmas and let your heart be light! Big Hugs, B. ······· ·······I am who I am.

I thank I gotta extra shot gun shell, or two, so send your ma-n-law on out thar. I'm not sure I will know whut she looks like. How do I tell her frum tha uther varmits? Does she smell a little gamey? Wunce I know it's her, I'll truss her up like the Crissmas turkey. Got my word on thet. Specially fer sum free squirrel meat ! I'll leave tha possums fer yer Crissmas meal, but shore does sound tasty ! Iffin' I shoots the wrong varmit, we'll try agin next year ! Got's to be carful, cuz tha law is already nosin' around. (Man, we's bad ain't we ???? ~laugh~)

Whal, Marcia, that she-devil if a mother-in-law be cross-eyed as a drunken monkey in a liquor shop n' she tends ta wear mini shorts that be a couple sizes too smal fer her. She dun died her gray hair blond and her arse is the size of a buick pick-up. An ifn't ye shoot the wrong in-laws, it's doubtful ye'll hear any complainin'!
An, ya knows, fer all yer faults, yer still a gud nebbor! Yer more n welcome ta any old squirrel I gots and ye kin evin come overta Chrissmus and have some o that thar possum wit me! Bring yer own moonshine, though. OH boy, we is bad, ain't we? Whall, ifn that woman tweren't so ignorant and ornery, I'd have no problem wit her. But she is and I aint' got no patience wit that type o' thinkin'! (Or lack there of, as the case may be! LOL!) Well, Marcia, I think we've beaten that into the ground!!! LOL! You have some fun and don't et up any squirrels that ere foamin' at the mouth! Big Hugs, B. ······· ·······I am who I am.
