HUMM...
NOW I AM WORRIED..
Hiddy Ho Good Neighbors and Friends!
I have an update for those of you who might be interested in the rat, cat, dogs, overachiever cop, cannon blasting that has been a large part of my life lately.
I am slightly worried these days.. I don't know exactly what has taken place.. I put out the "death for rats with just one bite" poison the day after I wrote the last entry and as of yesterday.. this is the spooky part.. I have not seen or heard from rat.... or cat.. humm..
They have both disappeared! This is a true mystery involving their arrival as well as their departure... I just don't know what the deal was .. and probably never will .. but I have never heard of a rat who had his own cat before! The good news is they are both ..
GONE!
YEEEHAAWWW BABY!
As for Mr. Cannon Blaster neigbor, I have come up with a solution to the problem I believe and something to keep the over active imaginative cop neighbor on someone elses case instead of mine!
There are no watermelons left on that guys patch that are any good at all.. there is nothing left to harvest .. but the cannon is still blasting every hour on the hour.. so I am going to go and ask Mr. Policeman of the Year to ask him to turn the thing off!
What do you think of that solution folks? I myself am hoping it is a stroke of lockerridge genius, finally shining through the fog.. but it could backfire I suppose.. but then again.. I don't think I can stand much more of waking up thinking someone has shot the rat who has chewed the hole in the wall of lockies house much longer...
The horse has been shining on the neighbors a bit .. hehehe.. I love it! She will stand over at the fence and call her and call her.. and Artie just flips her tail at her! hahahahaha!
yeah it is still funny!
I mean I just don't understand people much anymore.. they don't even ask if they are welcome at your house or they act like my animals are community property or something!
I come from the country.. in the country you never take such liberties with other peoples things! I suppose this is the reason there are no hunting and no trespassing signs up all over the place anymore. When I was growing up, I was taught the best way to be a good neighbor is respect the neighbors things and his intelligence.
I am surrounded by people who have moved to the country trying to get away from the attitudes and evilness of the big cities .. they are looking for good quiet schools for their kids.. they are looking for a place to get some crime free rest. But they have no idea how to gain that kind of thing! I just can't handle the lack of respect they show for me and my things much longer.. and the new police force that is in effect for the smallest town in the world.. mine.. is unreal.. this town maybe has 1500 people all told.. and most of them are retired people who have lived here all their lives. The town has .. count them now... 15 churches.. yeppers... 15... but the town council has deemed it necessary for them to hire and outfit.. 5 cops! 3 full time and 2 part time.. each one has their own police car!!!
The last crime was probably commited two years ago and it was probably somebody stealing someones newpaper out of their yard.
I also have finally figured out how to manage to get Homer to actually finish a job he starts.. I just don't finish it for him! I am so embarrassed to know that I have not figured this out until age 50... maybe I should think a lot more on this subject .. it seems to get results.. he put the wall back together that he tore apart anyway.. so it managed to get results this time.
My son came up this week.. and infomed me that next spring he is moving to Cleveland Ohio... OMG!
If it isn't one thing it is 15 and I believe it is time to reup my script for valium.. I feel a lockie meltdown coming on!
lol..
love to everyone from lockie

Man! OHIO! Better throw a sleeping bag in the truck and call Coyote! He lives in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteIs He following the girl? Or a Job? oh babes, That sucks for momma. I couldn't handle Mandi being across town.. sigh.
The rat & cat both gone? mmm hmmm, sounds like they are a couple of cons traveling the state.
Just glad to see you here and happy to know you again have a wall.. not in pieces wall a real wall.
Now tell me exactly how do you get 'em to finish what they start?
Artie is a smart feller. hehehe.
It's not filling out the color and I cant read.......I've waited and waited.......let me try this page again.
ReplyDeleteOk, refresh did it.......maybe you poisoned the rat AND the cat.......and maybe the guy with the boomer will turn it off for the season.......and I think five cops is a really good number LOL.....the more the better LOL........sorry to hear about your son........I'd be freaking.......Love to you Lockie!
ReplyDeleteFreddie wont let you melt down,you just let me know sweetie if you need any help.
ReplyDeleteI will send over my can of "Whip Ass"
Oh Lockie, please get me a prescription for Valium too!!! Sometimes I hate having to deal with people...they are so rude and nasty and just plain stupid! Come on down and we'll have a melt down together! lol....
ReplyDelete((huggs))
The rat and cat seem like a couple of drifters. Cops are good when you absolutely need them. But that is usually when they aren't around.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that your son is leaving. Don't worry though, he will always come back to mom.
Er, who is on your town council, and who is running against them? Clearly you have somebody(s) there that has big plans for the town they ain't tellin ya'll. If you are going to have some feisty elections, now is the time to do it, the next round the deals may have already been made. If they haven't already.
ReplyDeleteHah! The biggest plans the town council can cook up are what to name the annual street festival which quite frankly always is a terribly planned and equally unprofitable type thing which is useless for all intents and purposes.. the town is dying little by little.. and why in the heck they think they need to hire and outfit (complete with brand new cars!) 5 police officers is just .. okay I will say it.. senile! There is NO crime.. none.. there is hardly anyone living there over the age of 40 any more.. the school has been combined three times now with larger schools so the state can educate our kids.. but the town will not give up hanging on.. and the kids are ones who suffer in quality education.. and as for the elections.. like I said there is hardly anyone who is not on the verge of social security retirement who are even the least bit interested in playing .. Monopoly on the Dr. Suess scale... I could go on an on .. hehehe can ya tell?
ReplyDeleteAMEN!! THEY HAVE NEVER HELPED ME OUT OF A JAM.. ALWAYS PUT TOO MUCH STUPID STUFF IN MY LIFE .. OVER NOTHING MUCH!
ReplyDeleteOkay Normie.. but only if you provide the M&M's and the Pepsi.. I will bring valium and some of those little feet massager things... those are too cool!
ReplyDeleteI KNEW I COULD COUNT ON MY RESIDENT ALIEN TO BACK ME UP!! LOVES YA FREDDIE!
ReplyDeleteCrystal.. now honey.. I want you to rethink this statement.. seriously.. think really hard.. and then you will see where I am coming from.. town of retired people.. no crime rate.. before the 5 cops, complete with brand new police cars of their own, were hired.. humm.. me thinks either paranoia has struck my little home town or basically.. somebody is lining his pockets somehow with this deal!
ReplyDeleteJamie is just going to be going.. I think it will be good for him in the long run to get away from the people he is with now.. not that they are bad people.. they are just do nothing people and he is almost 25 years old.. if he is gona do something and have time left in life to use it.. he is gona have to light a fire ya know.. I hardly see him now.. so the change for me will be small in the ways of seeing him and having a conversation that is not interupted by his cell phone or the people he has brought with him.. in short.. maybe he will find that grown up inside himself if he goes. but man will I ever worry my buttocks off!
ReplyDeleteThe cat and the rat are simply too weird for me to think about.. and the only thing I did to get Homer to fix his own mess.. was not fix Homers mess .. just walk around and act as though nothing will be finer than when he expertly puts it back together .. smiles and smiles.. and maybe the promise of umm.. smiles and smiles.. hehehe..
A cop for a neighbor....of all the places in rural area, he has to live next to you?! I highly dislike (notice I'm trying hard not to use the "H" word) cops. They all know no matter what they do, they are not going to get in trouble. How good would life be if we had no consequences?!
ReplyDeleteOMG, don't let your son become a Buckeye! And make sure he doesn't meet Wile, cuz you know he's trouble (smiles).
Glad the rat and cat are gone...hopefully we don't see your face on the "Pet Police" show after they find bones on your body!
Hey RR.. I have been blessed with not just one but two of the suckers next door to me.. one is renting a little house behind the other ones big house.. and all the chaos reins with the damn cannon thing.. but all he can do is .... nothing..
