What's Her Face is out of town for the next week, looking after grandchlluns.



This is my first week home alone for as long as I can remember.



I have raised all of the toilet seats, and intend to leave them in that position, unless I have a need to sit down. If you are my friends, as I think you are, please remind me a week from today to re-adjust them prior to WHF's return.



For the first time in no less than 20 years, there are cold beers in the HOUSE fridge!



I have just enjoyed a dinner consiting of Velveeta Cheese and cold beer. I liked it.



I have waked through the house, and am sitting in my recliner, just in my BVDs!



What else should I do?



No, JT, I WILL NOT do anything during the course of this week that involves stains to the white carpet. Other than that, I intend to run amuck, but I don't remember how to anymore.

You're supposed to leave the white carpet intrusions to me, dammit!

I just packed my stuff in the car and I'm on my way...

My wife and I reached a crompromise on the toilet issue decades ago.

Both of us would leave it with both the seat and cover down. In this way, we both had to take some action to take some action. Also, it looks neater that way.

Is it available on VHS?

Hmmmmmmmm... wonder if she would notice if I purchased one of those DVD things?

I do have a Victrolla. Not much of a stereo, though. Do you mean we could crank it up really tight, and play the records really fast? I'm gonna ROCK!

You can buy a DVD player for under $50 and step into this century.

Wonderful idea!! I'll bring my Edison Amberola 30, and we'll have some (big) band wars!! Which will win out having the most decibels? The Victrola? Or the Edison?

Can't wait to see! Boy, I can't remember the last time the neighbors called the cops on us for loud noise. (We may have to set the things up on their front porch, though.)

You are right, of course. It's not the 50 bucks, it's just the fact that it probably won't be used again after I watch Crash.

I reckon we should have one, though, and this would be as good a week as any to get one.

How do you CRANK '911' on those old phones to call the cops?? I remember a relative's 'number' on the farm was 'oo-o' (or 'short' short' 'long' short') Are they still in use where you are?

No, but Grandma's ring was long-short-long. I lost track of that old phone, or it would be in the shop today.

DANG IT!

I just made the bed.

Wasn't gonna do that.

Being a rebel is gonna be harder than I thought.

Should I mess it up now, or just wait?
