You could always pull some tricks on him. I like the shaving cream-in-the-palm-then-tickle-the-nose trick.

Or put something in his mouth (but don't choke him!).

Or move his Star Wars collectibles someplace where he can't find them and tell him you gave them to the Salvation Army.

I could think of more, if you feel up to it.

I was reading TerryO's recipe for box turtle food the other day and decided it was time for me to come into the modern kitchen appliance age. So I did some research online and found that the Kitchen Aide is a pretty good brand food processor and that Lowe's sells them for $99. Yesterday I bought one and today I used it. What a time saver. I used to stand at the cutting board chop, chop, chopping my life away every morning, and this a.m. I accomplished much more chopping in a fraction of the time with the food processor. I used cooked yams, soaked Mazuri, romaine, frozen mixed veggies, strawberries, yellow squash, cucumber, ripe figs off my tree and some good quality canned dog food that contained vennison. The box turtles loved it.

Thanks, Terry!

I spent the weekend at the Snowy Range Music Festval in Laramie, WY. We were on the rail on Friday night to hear the Neville Brothers:) Then we were on the rail on Saturday night to hear Michael Franti and Spearhead. Great shows, both, and plenty of excellent acts all day long, too. I was SO TIRED by the time Sunday rolled around that I listened to George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic from the truck. No rail, too beat. It was a wonderful weekend, got my ears full!! The only CD I bought was Another Kind of Magick, "Wake Up to the Blues." The band members are 14-18 years old, two sets of brothers from Cheyenne, plus a boy from Denver. WOW!!! They are going to be around for a while, I think:) We ate fair-food all weekend, so I'm looking forward to a sit-down steak dinner tonight. Oh, and sleeping in my own bed.

Okay you may disagree as many do but here is the sandwich in the whole world and I am making it right now!!!!! Erin's Vermont Chicken salad sandwich...
Chicken, mayo, celery, thinly sliced granny smith apple & chopped walnuts mixed together. Slap that wonderfulness on toasted 12 grain bread add 1 slice of vermont cheddar cheese and try not to drool while eating. It's rude!
That sounds like a good sandwich, Erin. My favorite: Cream Cheese, avacado slices, tomato slices on black rye. Mmm mmm the creamy texture!!

Hurray for kitchen appliances! My most recent aquisition is a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. I have made chocolate sorbet, banana sorbet, and Pina Colada sorbet. I didn't get enough sugar in the Pina Colada so it froze up a little hard, but I discovered that if I pour dark rum in it softens up nicely. This afternoon be bought ingredients for Mai Tai sorbet:)

Now that one is just going too far....... But it would have been appropriate. I was watching the Labor Day Star Wars marathon on Spike when the alleged 'sleeping' incident happened. I was really just resting my eyes.:cool:

You're welcome! My husband has to grab the ripe figs before I see them and give them to all my guys. EVERYONE loves the figs.

+1 on the greatness of the KitchenAid. I make a mean cheesecake and the KitchenAid makes for a world of difference.

One time my sister came over and David was asleep on the couch with his mouth hanging open. She stuck a Cheeto in his mouth. A little while later he woke up and there was a cat sitting on his chest, eating a Cheeto....

Today would've been only the 3rd full day of classes, and we already had to use our 1st "snow day" due to flooding. I have a gut feeling that we're going to be closed until Monday. Crazy weather!!

I am a little dense here today, what does no school have to do with not going to the dentist?
