The Tradition Of The Overalls — #2

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I don’t know how many Patrice’s I’ve known over the years….. *****(What’s A Patrice?~Swamp Hag Blog~A Glossary Of Terms)***** From the time of their purchase…to the point where they sigh & die…I’ve gotten to know each and every one of them very well…one could say intimately….. Each Patrice has been unique…one-of-a-kind…with individualized quirks & idiosyncrasies….. From the moment I first take her out of the bag…and crack the folds out of a crisp…

~Sports Medicine Conference & The World Cup~

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I need a show of hands…how many of you remember that I’m not just a Swamp Hag…I’m also an Athletic Trainer(?)….. Well…I am…and I still keep my licenses current….. And in order to do that…I have to collect the illustrious C.E.U.’s (continuing educational units)…on a regular basis….. I’ve been doing this for years…for my Massage Therapy licenses and my Athletic Training licenses….. I’ve been doing this since the Younger Dryas…and I can honestly…

The Way Of The DoDo

The Way Of The DoDo

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Our local friendly Winn Dixie grocery store is closed now….. There’s plywood up over all of the windows….. It’s such sadness….. All the local stores that we knew of in or near our area have closed and have been sold to the Aldi’s chain….. Remember the movie…”Because of Winn Dixie”…(and yes…we have a copy of the DVD)….. That was a great campy movie…(there was even an Irish Wolfhound-type dog in it)….. But all…

My Keyboard Is Glitching

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I was sure it was my error….. It usually is….. But my keyboard’s “e” and “i” keys have started sticking…well not so much sticking…as just not printing…unless I strong arm (strong digit?) them….. So I did a computer search….. And apparently it’s “a thing”….. As far as I can see…there’s no gum stuck under the keys….. No tea cup contents have been dumped into it….. Minimal cats have slept on the keyboard (that…

~Celebrations~

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Easter was this last Sunday….. We watched some good movies and documentaries…took it easy…and ate as much refined sugar as was humanly possible….. There was definitely an over indulgence in Easter candy….. It was really a good thing that the List the Easter Bunny gave me had all of my favorite candies on it….. Yummy….. Wasn’t that so fortunately circumstantial?…that the List had all of my favorites(?)….. I may have overly procured the…

*Not About A Colonoscopy*

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Well…today I could write about the colonoscopy I had yesterday….. Butt…I’d probably loose subscribers….. I guess colonoscopies are a necessity of life….. But(t) not something to talk about………….so maybe I shouldn’t(?)….. I’ve recently been wondering what drives a doctor to specialize in that “end” of health(?)…at one time I had wondered about Podiatrists and their propensities…and even Gynecologists make sense…but(t)…Proctology(?)…(i.e. Colorectal Specialists)….. …..Nope…Not so much….. However…I would like to ask………….Just What IS That…

Sometimes…Somethings…

Sometimes…Somethings…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Sometimes it’s just better to walk away from something….. Sometimes…(no matter how hard you try)…sometimes…somethings…refuse to be fixed….. There’s been a lot of things over years that I’ve walked away from….. There have been some things that I’ve just forgotten totally…(I can’t even remember how many…but I guess that’s the point of forgetting)….. Somethings are better forgotten….. My older daughter is still learning that fact of life….. She wants to fix anything that’s…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** As I’m posting this….. My fully armed chili is being distributed and dispensed….to unsuspecting riders…..

And after the riders have trailered their mounts home….. …..bathed their Hunt horses…showered themselves…and otherwise readied themselves for our annual Hunt Club Ball (this evening)….. Their gastric appliances have been…

***Swamp Gas***

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** The mark of a good (self-professed) writer is one who picks timely…interesting…appropriate blog posts….. I’m none of those things….. And this post probably illustrates that completely….. The up-coming fart innuendoes are both immature and inappropriate….. …..(but really funny if you think about it)….. And I figured…because I’m only writing this post to my friend Pascal…it’s only a musing between him and me…so it doesn’t matter….. *****(Remind Me?  Who’s Pascal?)***** Pascal is not to…

J. B. Dare I Hope?

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* ~~~”Be still my beating heart”~~~ My Jim Beam pilgrimage continues….. I did go into my local Winn Dixie liquor store…and had a confabulation with the regular cashier….. She noticed my distraught comportment…(and yes–comportment)….. My stare was middle-distanced and unfocused…I had a knuckle dragging posture…and slumped carriage….. In a nutshell…I was sadness and depression personified….. I started my questions as soon as I put my regular purchases on the counter by the cash register……..
