Dad now keeps a shovel at the back door. I believe a good snake's a dead snake!! (I know that will annoy a lot of animal lovers but my kids are more important)<BR/><BR/>Oh and my husbands a 15 minute direction's man.

But then again, my grandmother IRONED her sheets, underwear and pillowcases for years. All because her mother did it. When I asked why, she said: "Because my mother did it that way." She didn't actually know WHY her mother did it that way. It just must have been the right way to do it.<BR/><BR/>Jen, I'm kidding, sort of, about the snakes. I've only seen a handful in my lifetime and only one of those was poisonous.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673930610844503371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955071586429125990.post-88110833473690835962008-03-20T07:50:00.000-04:002008-03-20T07:50:00.000-04:00I wonder what is the origin of using fixig in that...I wonder what is the origin of using fixig in that way.
