Ok, so I have decided that since I am officially old, I no longer need to wear matching socks, mainly because I no longer have any matching socks.

In my heyday I was the sock matching king, but now with Pheobe eating all the socks, those heydays are gone. The funny thing is that she only eats one of the matching socks. If she ate both, it would be a lot easier, but it is like “I don’t want to chew socks that are a match, because the second sock, would be old news. I want to chew a new sock each time.”

Consequently, I have no matching socks, and my dreams of going to the sock matching hall of fame are over. I guess I need to go back to bussing tables, I think I still have a chance of reaching the bussers hall of fame.

My son said to me last night. “Dad I had to throw away my sister's ice cream bar”.

I asked why? 

He said, "well it was melting and I knew it had to be thrown away."

"Why didn’t you put it in the freezer?"

"Well I did dad, but it was still melting."

"Well, if you put it in the freezer it would get hard."

"I know dad, but it didn’t, so I had to throw it away."

"Which garbage can did you throw it into?"

"Oh, dad, you will never find it because I put in the bottom of the can outside."

"Did it taste good?"

"Yea dad, it was real good."

Guidelines for dog poop extraction.

I think it is time for us to set up guidelines for the pick up of our pooches excrement.

First off, if it takes you more than 5 seconds to find it, then you are probably ok to leave it.

If the business is less than 2 centimeters in length( ¾ of an inch), you are probably ok. However if there are multiple of these small objects, then, yes, you are required to bag it.

If your dogs stool blends in with the environment, like say thick brown leaves, then again, you are probably ok, as well.

However, it is always important to see if anybody is watching you, because, if they are, then it is extremely important even if you can’t find it, to appear like you are picking it up.

Any questions?

Ok, folks, my wife and I have been working on this for 8 years. We are looking for roommates for our 2 special needs adults. We have 2 homes in Orangevale a block apart from each other that we purchased. We are looking for 3 male roommates to live with our 25 year old son, and 2 female roommates for our 23 year old daughter. These roommates would need to be Alta Regional clients so they would have access to SLS (supportive living service) or ILS (independent living service) or be totally selfsufficient. 

We are asking $750 a month in rent plus gas/electric. We would include internet and tv service as well as pool service (the one house has a pool). Both houses have an ADU on the properties, so there is someone there some of the time in case of an emergency. Also, the best part is across the street is the Redeemer Church, where Greater Sacramento Capernaum (Young Life) and Infinite Friends operate. They currently provide educational and social activities for the IDD population with plans to expand. 

Our goal is to build a community for these young adults. If you are interested or know someone who is please email us at Kimbrownkimbrown@yahoo.com

Thank you.
