Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 26 May 11 - 06:01 PM Yeah, he was definately more polished than Lareen but Haley is more my kinda performer... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: ChanteyLass Date: 20 May 11 - 09:44 PM Bobert, I, too, am looking forward to read about the funny things going on at the old farm. Perhaps on a new thread? (Hint, hint!) These long ones take forever to load! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 20 May 11 - 08:49 PM I am glad that my experiences are bringing such joy to your hubby, C-Bear... Bet he loves them old slap stick comedies, too.. lol... As fir Haley gettin' the boot??? Even thought I predicted it it really pisses me off... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: ClaireBear Date: 20 May 11 - 08:33 PM Bobert, what a great teaser. Just wanted you to know that I have been reading this thread aloud to my husband, and it has brought laughter every time. This is not easy to do with someone who is almost always despondent, and I thank you profoundly. Claire |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: gnu Date: 20 May 11 - 08:12 PM Speaking of singing shows, anybody see The Voice last night? Amazing stuff. "Idol" in the real world and I find it as entertaining or even better. Two of the contestants moving on would NEVER have a chance on Idol. It REALLY is about the voice. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 20 May 11 - 08:07 PM Well, two more days left on my furlow... Taking back several contractors bags of trash from NC to Page County where I can take it to their landfill fir free... The house is now somewhat organized... The poor P-Vine is so box-challenged though so I really don't expect her to unpack more than one box a day while I'm gone... Some funny things happening back at the old farm that I might talk about later... Not bad, just funny... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 19 May 11 - 09:30 PM Too late, gn-ze... As I predicted the Southerners jammed the phone lines as if it was a live-or-die thing and voted out the only non country singer, Haley... Hey, this *****IS****** a FOX show!!! B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Jeri Date: 19 May 11 - 09:28 PM Well, Haley's gone. I think she was the best, but whoever wins has to sign a contract with them (whoever "them" is). Haley can go wherever she wants, and she'll have loads of opportunities. Sometimes, the "winner" ain't the winner. I don't know that I care much what happens now, but I hope Lauren kicks Scotty's ass. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: gnu Date: 19 May 11 - 09:20 PM Bobert... I don't wanna see any of them go. I wanna see them "compete" for at least another month. I just love to see these young artists do their thing. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 19 May 11 - 07:59 PM I'm with you, Jeri... I'd love to see Scotty go but he's gonna win it all... Ain't about anything but who votes and who votes often... I think Haley has put it on the line more than any of them with songs that challenged her... The other two??? Just singin' in their cars to the radio... That;s my opinion... No matter... I'm gonna buy Haley's 1st CD... I bet it will rock!!! B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: gnu Date: 19 May 11 - 07:39 PM Well see, Jeri... I still think it's about the money. I've watched the show for years and seen the best get "voted off" early on and go on to big money. Another factor might be their ages... a minor cannot be held to a contract when they turn the age of majority. Gee golly gosh eh! And the age of majority deoends on the state in which the contract was signed... in British law anyway... I dunno about down in The States. No matter. They are all talented and have the world by the ass on a downhill slide. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: frogprince Date: 19 May 11 - 07:30 PM Maybe it's because it's so close to the word "farm", and I spent so many hours on a Farmall M with a plow behind, but I keep looking at this and reading "furrowed". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Jeri Date: 19 May 11 - 07:14 PM Scotty can go. He's good at what he does, but it's ALL he does. Bobert, time to kick back and relax until you can get the rest of the stuff. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 19 May 11 - 07:10 PM Well, Jeri... I think that my gal, Haley will get zapped but not for any other reason is that people in the South think of Idol as a sporting event and are very passionate and prolly voted over and over and over... And they like them country singers... As fir unpacking??? The P-Vine is running on the ragged edge... She doesn't do this well... Me??? I can handle "organizational" stuff fine... Her??? No wiring what so ever for it... The worst part about it is that we have about another 200 boxes yet to come down... Man, we gotta a lot of stuff and it ain't all mine either... Gonna be interesting... Spent the day hiding unpacked boxes so that the house looks somewhat like a house... But only somewhat... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: gnu Date: 19 May 11 - 04:43 PM Idol... one of the girls is toast JUST because of entertainment value on accounta they all have big deals coming their way and it's all about $$$. I suspect it will be Lauren because they need to keep the male vs female thing going and they don't want to lose the "non-country" singer for the same "vs" aspect of marketing the show. Oh, yeah... that thing about the public "voting"? Hahahahahaa! Having said such cynical things, it's wonderful to watch this young talent. Overall, I like Haley best but that lad is awesome. I wanna watch him sing Long Black Train in the final... I can think of some more but that one just seems to suit him because of the tunes he has sung in the past. Of course, Firecracker would kick the crowd up. Did I mention I am a Josh Turner fan? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Jeri Date: 19 May 11 - 04:00 PM So, Bobert, today is Thursday. Who d'you think will get zapped? I kinda think one of them should have been off a while ago (talented, but not all that flexible), but keeps coming back. I also agree with your "Go Haley!!!" Her dad wasn't bad, either. I have a lot of respect for the P-Vine. I moved in here, and I was pretty good at unpacking things. I sucked at finding places for them to live, though |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 18 May 11 - 09:13 PM Yeah, Maeve, and Idol is on and it's commercial time... Go Haley!!! B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: maeve Date: 18 May 11 - 07:46 PM Today's Wednesday, Bobert. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 18 May 11 - 07:26 PM Today was much better... Haven't even unpacked the entire truck yet... Not too sure I'll get back for #8 before Monday because getting there involves getting thru Concord, NC and this weekend is ***race weekend*** and the race track is in Concord... No matter... Got a call from one of my hillbilly buddies today and looks as if he is willing, for a small fee, to get the Spartan trailer/music studio down off blocks and tires on and ready to go on a flat-bed trailer to come here to live... That alone will save me an entire day (maybe two) of having to be up there... Meanwhile, we've found a good ol' boy carpenter who has been taking care of a lot of little things that we need done... So we are making progress... At least until the next truck load of boxes... If the P-Vine unpacks and puts away two boxes she boasts as if she had conquered pi or something... At that rate, she'll be in her 90's before she unloads the last box... She is severely box challenged!!! F'n psycho cat came in the house fir the first time and promptly found the only place to hide that we can't get to... Normal... What day is it??? I thought that yesterday was Wednesday so I was looking forward to American Idol (go Haley) but it wasn't on because it wasn't Wednesday... I'll try again in tonight... Man, wouldn't it be a bummer to have Alzheimer's set in before I can get this move finished??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: frogprince Date: 18 May 11 - 06:14 PM Heeheehee; I wondered where that post wound up at. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: frogprince Date: 18 May 11 - 03:48 PM The things just spin in the holes, no resistance at all, in either direction. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: katlaughing Date: 18 May 11 - 03:41 PM Glad to hear you have all of the kitties there. Good for you! Take care of yourself, eh? And, get some rest? Jeepers...we oughta have a big party when you get done with all of this! kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 May 11 - 07:39 AM he'll probably be suffering severe coffee withdrawal by then! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: maeve Date: 18 May 11 - 07:21 AM Bobert- Sleeeeep, sleeeeep, sleeeep... We'll remind you sbout the coffee in a couple of days. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 17 May 11 - 07:48 PM Well, as per usual, I messed up... First thing outta the P-Vine's mouth was, "Didja bring the coffee?"... "No..." "Didja even look at the list?"... "What list?"... Bad answer... Oh well, I'll be going back for Trip #8 this weekend and we have a nice little coffee shop that has good coffees for folks like us... You know, "coffee snobs"... lol... The "f'n psycho cat" has been quarantined to the pantry room (in the garage) and is currently hiding in the step back cabinet... She has at least seen the other three cats, all of which she hates, so that prolly makes her feel better about everything... Nuthin' like havin' some cats to hate, right??? Meanwhile, the "Don't Call" is a 30 day deal so the phone rings every 15 minutes with someone trying to sell us something... The pool is uncovered and has green water... The former owner offered to get it right so he has been shocking it and putting stuff in it and, geeze, I don't know nuthin' about pools... The P-Vine says she's gonna take care of it... Yeah, right... If I had my way I fill the sumabcih in and grown vegetables there... Oh well... I am ramblin' from exhaustion... Did I mention that I'm down to two trips??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 17 May 11 - 05:32 PM 7 down, 2 to go... Rained the entire trip today so rather than 7 1/2 hours it was more like 9 hours... Left at 7:00 this mornin' and got in at 4:00... Something is weird about the old house now... It's kinda creepy with almost all the stuff gone... With any luck I'm down to having to stay in it overnight only 4 more nights... Was able to trap the "f'n psyhco cat" and brought her down in a borrowed "have-a-heart" trap... As per usual, I'm beat... Two more!!! Yea!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Little Robyn Date: 15 May 11 - 04:16 PM Those Google pop-up ads are funny - the one above right now says "Moving?" "Let us make your move easy!" and there's a picture of two men carrying some furniture. Unfortunately it's a NZ moving company. So I guess I'm the only one seeing it. LOL! Oh well, the thought is there. Robyn |

Cheers JennieG who didn't have a housewarming party when she moved a year ago......boo hoo.......Himself is not a party bloke but I like a good party........ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 14 May 11 - 11:07 AM Wish it was that kinda pool, Rap, but it ain't... Pools are a pain in the butt but the P-Vine says she'll do all the maintenance work on it... Yeah, right... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bill D Date: 14 May 11 - 11:06 AM Hey...maybe for one big party, 'pool' our resources and fill the pool with beer! Heavy beers at the deep end, and Iron City at the shallow end for those whose taste buds ('scuse the language) were shot off in the Boer War. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: GUEST Date: 14 May 11 - 06:18 AM Things should be going a lot smoother than this one... I place the blame on squarely on me for going along with the tag-team idea and allowing Sis to be involved... I had things thoughtfully (what a concept) placed in the house but found myself out voted... So we have had to move just about everything twice to where I knew the stuff belonged in the first place... Hey, don't get me wrong... I love her sister but... ...geeze louise, guys!!! Today is the day that the former owner and his two sons are going to help me uncover the pool for the summer and get the pumps going and the do the chemicals... ("Do the chemicals", Boberdz???) Man, don't get me started, Anon... Hey, I thought I'd left your dumb butt back in the holler... Never mind the chemicals... Today is pool day... Yesterday was find-the-cats-&-argue-with-the-womenz day and tomorrow is ride-7 1/2-hours-in-the-dumb-box-truck day so I reckon that having a pool day makes today the respite in the storm... BTW, does that "tavern" have beer??? If so, bring me one with my morning coffee, por favor... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: ChanteyLass Date: 14 May 11 - 12:15 AM No matter how well-planned, I have never known a move to go smoothly. I hope you and kitties continue to settle in. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 13 May 11 - 07:47 PM Nice groove, gnu-ze... Wish moving was half as grooooooveeeeeee... BTW, the cats are all accounted for except for the "f'n psycho b" female back in Virginia... She may not be catchable... But the 3 boys have all surfaced and seem to know that this is their new home... The frogs, however, are real loud and got them on their toes... Sister has turned down an opportunity to stay another week so she rides back to Va. on Sunday in my box truck... No air conditioning... She never spends more than 10 minutes out of air conditioning... Gonna be a fun ride... No, make that an experience for Sis... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 13 May 11 - 12:39 AM Hi, bobert. I read somewhere that the most stressful things that can happen are 1. death in the family 2. divorce 3. moving So you have every right to be worn out and frazzled. I hope it's over soon. ============ When I was a kid in Chicagoland, I saw a lot of moving vans with big writing that said 'Allied Van Lines.' I thought Mr. Van Lines was a Dutch businessman. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Rapparee Date: 12 May 11 - 10:22 PM Don't use no pine -- you deserve oak-faced plywood, at least. One side good ta cut costs, interior grade (you ain't gonna take it out in the rain anyway) and staple some cheap cloth on the lousy lookin' inside. Varnish that outside she'll do right enough. Hmmm...maybe you oughta line it with asbestos, come to think of it. Drink another beer or ten. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 12 May 11 - 09:07 PM Oh yeah!!! This is the last time... Next move fir this ol' hillbilly is a pine box... Hmmmmmmm??? Sounds kinda comfy... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 12 May 11 - 07:16 PM 199 bucks, Sins... Sheet fire... I don't think I'm gonna need no blow up mattress be it $75 bucks from Walmarx 'er $7500 from Hallmaker-Schelmer... I'm gonna try taking it back... No matter... Got two days to piddle stuff, like fixing a little leak under the sink (trap) and going to Lowes and buy a shade fir the bathroom (as if there is anyone out there that can see us) and eating BBQ... BBQ??? Found the best BBQ maybe anywhere... Called Big Bob's and this stuff is righteous... Has a bigass high tech wood smoker in the kitchen that prolly run you a hundred grand... They BBQ anything but road kill and it's the best I ever eat... Makes that BBQ joint over in Wilson like some kids idea of BBQ... This stuff is the real deal... Ya'll Google up "Big Bob's BBQ" and see how many national BBQ award these people done run up... The worsest part about being here, other than it being North Care-lina is that my cats is wierded out... We're gonna keep them in the garage fir a few more days... At least until I get back with the next load but they are doing some house time, too... I donno how long is best without them running off crazy lookin' for the holler... Maybe someone knows... Meanwhile, Iz beat but I got beer... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: SINSULL Date: 12 May 11 - 06:55 PM Poor bobert. I got my queen sized double layered blow up mattress at The Christmas Tree Shop on sale for $199.99. Set it up in the guest room and there she sits years later. Not a leak nor a hiss. Ask Jeri. She sleeps on it pretty regular. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Rapparee Date: 12 May 11 - 06:43 PM You got it done, though. The innernet thing I mean. Now it has to stay done, if ya know what I mean. |

Subject: BS: Bobert Furlowed from Funny Farm... From: Bobert Date: 12 May 11 - 05:39 PM Howdy, Mudders... I have surfaced from a the Week from Hell and before I begin Week from Hell, Part 17 have 2 glorious days to be bossed around by not only the P-Vine but her sister here in "Win-git", North Care-lina... For those poor souls who delight in Bobert's miseries I will not disappoint... Seems about a week ago the P-Vine asked me if I had arranged to shut off the pudder company back in Pine Grove Holler so I called 'um up and told them to cut it off in 48 hours which would give me time to, ahhhh, get help from ya'll on gettin' my email addresses switched over, right??? Wrong... 45 minutes later everything went away so I called back and got some other person who said, "Get over it", so I asked to speak with his boss who told me to "Get over it" and so after spending three hours on the phone with various and sundry "Get over it-ers" I talked with the head guy who told me to "Get over it" and then I told him about my cousin so he said, "Well, maybe I could keep you email account open for a week" which he did and a dear friend has somehow converted me to G-mail with all my addresses and so life should be good, right??? Wrong... So Monday was the big moving day and I packed up the P-Vine, 3 useless cats and her sister along with a our homemade covered trailer and sent them off to "Win-git" and then the crew-of-three-less-one showed to help load the 26 foot U-Haul with furniture and the crew-of-three-less-one and I packed the sumabich tighter than a mouse's ear and then I went back in the house and looked at what was still there and the reality set in that I had miss-figured the number of 7 1/2-hours-each-way by an additional trip... Maybe two but it was pushin' 4:30 in the pm and so I drove until after midnight to Win-git, crashed next to the P-Vine so life should be good, right??? Wrong... Never buy the $75 queen sized air mattress from the Walmarx... Get the $125 on from Costco 'cause the Walmarx ones leak and are only good for about 3 hours, if that... So the following day my NC boyz showed up and we had the truck unloaded in about 5 hours less time than the Pine Grove Holler crew-of-three-less-one (plus me) took to load it... I will have to admit that unloading we a lot easier than the loadin' so life shoulda been good, right??? Wrong... Here we had lined up to have our phone and inner-net all working last Tuesday and seems that North Carolina math is differenter here than other parts of the country and 5,000 ft = 20,000 ft. and we are 20,000 feet (not 5,000 feet) from the innernet-mother-ship so here it is, what??? Three days later and I think I have innernet put I won't be sure until I hit the submit button at the end of this... BTW, what day is it??? I hope it's not Saturday... Please tell me it's Friday or Thursday... No matter... I got cold beer and I think a pudder that works so I reckon I deal with all this fun... B~ |
