Hi Pards,
I asked Ross Hill (ssorllih) if he had a hard time making up his mind. He said, "Uh.. well, yes and no". Shucks, I recon even if he`s on the right track, he`ll get run over if he just sits there! Ross is getting very good at opening those childproof caps... with a hammer! The other day he told me that Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses and that acupuncture is a jab well done. :roll: Hang in there fella!

We`ve got some new folks with us! Yeeee Haaaaw! Welcome aboard newt615 in the USA, kcdad in Pennsylvania, Steve Schroeder in Arkansas, and Roddy in Antipolo, Phillipines. Pour yourselves some hot Arbuckle`s and pull up some shade. It`s nice to have you with us.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Yeee Hawww!
I`ve got a question or two. If 2 out of 5 people suffer from dandruff, does that mean that three enjoy it? And whatever happened to Preparations A through G? And did you ever notice at income tax time, when you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells ...'THEIRS'?

Say, there`s ol` toddmc451 from San Diego, California, Mutha Chicken in Maryland, zkost in Jacksonville, Florida, , 777terry in Toronto, Canada and MacTzu in Melbourne, Australia.

Hey Smoke Sniffers! It`s time for... "Inquiring Minds Really, Really, Want To Know"!
If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? And why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist? And I`d like to know if Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? Inquiring minds really, really, want to know!
Hey, there are three more intelligent folks signing up with us today. Welcome aboard "Bucket" in Ontario, Canada, "Charcoal Junkie" in North Dakota, and "Carpster" in Missouri. Nice to have you with us fellas. Find a spot around the ol` campfire and pour yourselves a cup of brown gargle strong enough to float a Colt! You`re going to like this outfit.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Anybody need a cheap watch?
A hundred years ago, where would you go to buy a pocketwatch if you were on a budget? Down at the ol` train station of course! Did you know that railroad stations in 500 towns across the USA sold watches? The best watches were found in the northern states and it wasn`t the train company selling them - it was the telegraph operators! You see, telegraph operators were located in the railroad stations because the telegraph lines followed the railroad tracks from town to town. For a period of 9 years, telegraph operators sold more watches than all the retail stores combined! How did this happen?
Sometime about 1885, a huge crate of watches arrived on a train in North Redwood, Minnesota. No one ever came to claim them. :shock: So, a wrangler named Richard (the station agent), sent a telegram to the manufacturer and asked them what they wanted to do with the watches. The manufacturer didn't want to pay the freight back, so they wired Richard to see if he could sell them. And Richard did just that! He sent a wire to every agent in the system asking them if they wanted a cheap, but good, pocket watch. He sold the entire case in less than two days at a handsome profit.
That started it all. He ordered more watches from the watch company and encouraged other telegraph operators to set up a display case in their stations, offering high quality watches for a cheap price to all the travelers . It worked! It didn't take long for the word to spread and, before long, people other than travelers came to the train station to buy watches. Richard became so busy that he had to hire a professional watch maker named Alvah, to help him with the orders. The rest is history -as they say. The business took off and soon expanded to many other lines of dry goods. Richard and Alvah left the train station and moved their company to Chicago -- and it's still there! Yes, it`s a little-known fact that for a while in the 1880 's , the biggest watch retailer in the United States was at the train station. And it all started
with a telegraph operator, Richard Sears, and his partner, Alvah Roebuck !

Welcome aboard pgobeem in Poway, California, wilburwb in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and suvan123 in New Jersey. It`s nice to have you with us here at Wedliny Domowe - the greatest website on the planet!

Some information is just totally useless! For instance, who cares that every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie? And did you know that the average person has over 1,460 dreams a year? Did you know that ants stretch when they wake up in the morning? Why are you even reading this? Yup, and here are a couple of real breath takers... Your ribs move about 5 million times a year, every time you breathe! How about this one... A sneeze travels out your mouth at over 100 m.p.h.! Yes, it`s true. But the next one is just plain boring! The world's oldest piece of chewing gum is 9000 years old. Now, who really needs to know that?

We`ve been plagued by "spammers" lately and I`ve had to sort `em out. So, I`m a little behind in welcoming some new folks to this neighborhood. We wish to extend a big, friendly, hand of welcome to calabriano in southeast USA, Bil Ace in New York, thomastrronem in Singapore, jes in Ferdinand, Indiana, oskarbutcher in Christchurch, New Zealand, alezy from New York in Austria, chefBill27 in Cape Coral, Florida, and Don in Meadow Creek, British Columbia, Canada. It`s nice to have you folks with us here on WD.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Isn`t it about time for some, "Thrilling Tumbleweed Trivia" - particularly, peculiar, poppycock you probably just couldn`t live without! :roll:

Did you know that each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history? Here they are:
Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs - Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar

We`ve got a couple of new members with us today. Welcome to WD "Bon55" in Melbourne, Australia, and "DelNorte" in Uruguay. It`s a pleasure to have you folks with us. Kick off yer` boots and warm your toes at the campfire! In about an hour you can grab your "re-loadin outfit". We`ve got babyback ribs and mashed potatoes with smoky beans and sourdough biscuits for dinner.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Say there... who are these two hombres hot footin` it into camp and kickin` up all this dust? Why... it`s ol` sheree107 from Fort Wayne, Indiana and his sidekick jamadlavy from Quebec City in Canada. Welcome to the WD brand boys! Put up yer` tack and join us `around the ol` campfire for some Minnie Maud Muffins and Arbuckle`s brown gargle. We`re just tickled to have you with us fellas!

Say... isn`t it about time for some, "Really, Really, Strange But True!" ?
Germs only cause disease, right? Uh... not exactly! Did you know that the common bacterium, E. Coli, (yup, the one we talk about all the time) is found in the intestine and helps us digest green vegetables and beans (also making gasses - pee-ew!). :oops: These same bacteria also make vitamin K, which causes blood to clot. If we didn`t have these germs we would bleed to death whenever we got a small cut! But then, all we`d have to do is "cuddle", right? You see... cuddling releases oxytocin which helps speed healing and recovery from physical wounds. Sooooo.... Ross, ol` pard... if you put a knife through yer` foot playin` mumbly-peg, then just grab Nancy and start cuddlin` up! :mrgreen:

Okay pal,
I had ol' Patch drag a new log up to the campfire, dusted it off, put a couple of handkerchiefs down just for the ladies, and carved their initials in the log! They are mighty welcome.
Don't forget that John has his own "corner" for pirogi at this link: http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?p=24198#24198

There's steak's on the grill tonight with campfire-coals-roasted taters and corn. Sourdough bread and home brew to wash it all down. Sounds like supper eh? :wink: But I'll be watchin' to make sure you eat all your broccoli! :shock:

Hi all. Found your site yesterday and immediately joined. Been making various sausages for 5 months now. Having a blast and everyone is enjoying the products. So much more to learn, of course. May we never stop learning and doing.
I live is East Central Alabama on Lake Martin.
