AHA MUNC!
You are a wily one, you are.
But I caught you! Indeed I did!!!
Besmirching my good name in a completely different thread!!
Now, for the rest of you: If you wonder or care what is going on please, please cross-reference, if you will, to the thread about paying off the bond. In that thread, I was holding forth about why we will not be paying off the bond. To make a point about real estate price reductions, I used the expression, "If you have to cut off a dog's tail, don't do it an inch at a time."
And Muncle wrote therein, "BOOMER AIN'T NEVER BABYSITTIN' MY DOG!!"
And I responded.
And then I had to go to sleep. It was late last night. But I tossed and turned in terror that everyone would think that I cut off dogs' tails.
And then this morning, I just had to look. And here I am besmirched, besmirched, besmirched.
But I love dogs. At this very moment, my geriatric dog is sleeping on the floor beside me here in the kitchen. And she has a glorious tail. Many, many years ago, we took in our darling dog when she was lost and afraid and peered in our back door. We tried to find her owner. We could not. And we were glad. So we decided we would keep her. And we knew at the time that if she lived a long life, she would become the dog of our dotage. And Mr. Boomer and I PROMISED each other that we could never call each other "Mommy" and "Daddy" to the dog. And our once orphaned dog (Annie is her name) has lived a long and happy and spoiled life. And we long ago broke that promise we made to each other. And now here I am. I am so upset that I am even writing all in one paragraph again. Trying to defend myself. Trying to convince everyone in TOTVland that I am not, I repeat AM NOT, Cruella DeVil. And it is all such a complex web now. And all I did was use figurative language. And you know what? I would do it again. Yes, I would. But I would never, never cut off a dog's tail.
Oh, and back to you Munc, you and your guerrilla tactics. Going under cover. In a different thread. AHA. I caught you.
And thanks, Munc. I have been wanting to use the word "besmirched" for a long time.
This is way too much fun. But I have to leave this glowing screen for awhile. I have stuff to do and now it is starting to storm anyway so I better turn this thing off.
So Muncle.
Boomer says, "Uncle." . . .for now. . .
