I was at Home Depot today looking in vain for a Stud-Finder. Then I thought: Wait a minute. Why don't I just stand here and let it find me? 😁

My dad, (uncle and grandfather) was/were dentists. When I was 28, dad said it was about time he pull my two upper wisdom teeth out. I had no lower wisdom teeth. Dad told me he would tell me when he was ready to pull them after the novocaine kicked in. So dad is giving my shots of novocaine around the areas where the wisdom teeth were. After the shots, dad said he would be back in ten or so minutes to see how the numbing was coming along. Ten minutes pass and dad is back. Dad is poking around the gums again and asks me if I can feel anything. I say yes and dad gives me more novocaine. Back in ten. Dad's back and with his dental tool and asks me if I can feel anything. I mumble a bit because my mouth area is all numb. All of a sudden, dad pulled both teeth out in probably 15 seconds time. I mumbled again,"Dad - you told me you would tell me when you were going to pull the teeth.". Dad replied, "I lie to all the little kids." I never did get to put the two teeth under my pillow for money from the Tooth Fairy. Probably because I no longer lived in my parent's home and I left no forwarding address for her. But I did meet up with the Booze Fairy that evening when I got back home. She was generous to say the least.

I started to tag you Tennesseer when I posted! I remembered that your dad was a dentist. Figured you would eventually see it. And yes the Booze Fairy fills in quiet nicely at times like that.

I have sychic powers. For example, right now you're thinking, "it's psychic."

Haint blue is a Southern thing. Told a friend about it (she was born, raised and still lives in Mississippi (I was born and raised in Massachusetts)). She had never heard the word or 'color'.

1970s I had one of these plants. My late Dad let me know I was torturing a living being. It did die like most plants do.

Which is why I don't understand why my indoor plants do so poorly. I haven't had outdoor plants in 40+ years. But they did okay, back then. In fact my indoor plants always did well, until I married DH2. Both his and my plants instantly died. Plants that each of us had had, for years. And they all flourished. They all were dead within a couple of months. I don't try much, anymore. I currently have 2 house plants, that are each barely alive.

Good night and enjoy your day!

Which is why I don't understand why my indoor plants do so poorly. I prefer outdoor plants as I am not their only source of water. Indoors the humidity is often different from outside too.
