Man! The CRAZIEST stuff happens to ME. I AM married. And, I have KIDS. And a dog. And two cats. Read about it HERE...

Our dog Molly is a BARKER!

by Tony Manes , posted Jun 18 2013 1:45PM

SO..

OUR-DOG "MOLLY"..

IS A "BARKER"..

(WHICH IS "GOOD"
WHEN IT COMES TO "SCARING-OFF" THIEVES..

"&"...JEHOVA'S WITNESSES..

BUT "BAD"..

WHEN IT COMES TO "PEACE & QUIET"..

& MAINTAINING YOUR "SANITY")..

MY WIFE
WORKS OUT OF OUR HOME..

& GETS PACKAGES FROM "UPS" EVERY-DAY..

WHEN THE "UPS"-GUY "DELIVERS" THE PACKAGE..

HE DROPS-IT AT THE FRONT-DOOR..
& "RINGS" THE DOORBELL..

WHICH-SENDS "MOLLY"

INTO A BARKING-"FRENZY"..

"EVENTUALLY"..

SHE STARTED-"BARKING"

WHEN SHE'D "HEAR" THE TRUCK..

"STOP"-OUT-FRONT..

&-"THAT"...HAS "PROGRESSED"

TO "BARKING" AT "ANY"-"UPS" TRUCK
"IN" THE "NEIGHBORHOOD"..

NOW MOLLY "ALSO"-BARKS
AT THE GARDENERS..

BUT..IT'S-"WORSE"..

BECAUSE "THEY"

COME-"IN" OUR "BACK"-YARD..

SHE'LL RUN-OUT THE DOGGY DOOR WHEN SHE HEARS-THEM..

"BARKING" HER HEAD-OFF..

&-"THEY'LL" POINT A LEAF-BLOWER AT-HER..

& SHE'LL-RUN "RIGHT"-BACK "IN"
THE DOGGY DOOR..

& "CONTINUE"-BARKING..

(WHICH-"REALLY"
"TESTS" MY PATIENCE)..

SO..

I "MAKE"-HER

COME "IN"-TO THE MAN CAVE..

& "SHUT" THE DOOR..

WELL..

ABOUT "2"-WEEKS-AGO..

SHE STARTED "BARKING"

AT OUR "NEIGHBORS" GARDENERS..

(& ONCE-AGAIN..
I HAVE-TO CALL HER "IN"
TO THE MAN CAVE..

& "SHUT"-THE-DOOR..

UNTIL THE "NEIGHBORS"-GARDENERS "LEAVE")..

& WHAT "REALLY"-ANNOYS ME

IS-THAT SHE "WON'T"

"STOP"-BARKING..

NO-MATTER HOW-"LOUD"

I-"YELL" AT HER..

I remember the time Dad I & II

by Tony Manes , posted Jun 8 2013 12:11PM

SO..

WHEN "I" BECAME A "DAD"..

I FINALLY "SAW"..

THE "SACRIFICE"..
& THE "SELF-LESS-NESS"..
& THE "TIME"..
& THE "MONEY"..

THAT GOES-"IN"

TO BEING A "GOOD DAD"..

I "REALIZED"..

WHAT A "GREAT"-DAD..
"I"-HAD..

-HE WORKED "2"-JOBS.."YET" CAME TO "ALL" MY GAMES..
-HE TRADED-"IN" HIS BOAT
TO BUY MY FIRST CAR..
-HE "PAYED" MY TUITION AT BUTLER UNIVERSITY FOR
"6"-YEARS..

& WHEN WE WERE RAISING OUR KIDS..

& MY PARENTS WOULD VISIT FROM INDIANA..

THE "MOST"-IMPORTANT-THING IN THE "WORLD" TO-ME..

I-"WANTED"

"MY"-DAD..

TO "SEE" THAT "I"

WAS A "GOOD DAD"-TOO..

I WAS PAYING-"TRIBUTE"..

TO "HIM"..

SO-"MY" FILL-IN-THE-BLANK..

"I"..

"REMEMBER" THE TIME WHEN DAD..

PUT HIS ARM AROUND MY SHOULDER..& "SAID"..

"YOU'RE DOING A GREAT-JOB WITH THOSE-KIDS"..

----------

WHEN OUR-KIDS WERE GROWING-UP..

MY PARENTS..WHO LIVED IN INDIANA..

WOULD COME TO BAKERSFIELD
FOR A "MONTH" IN THE SPRING..

LIVING SO-FAR APART..

IT WAS A "GREAT"-CHANCE TO SPEND "TIME"-TOGETHER..

(& "DO"
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'D "DO"..

IF YOU LIVED IN THE "SAME"-TOWN)..

ONE-YEAR..

(IT WAS ON A "SATURDAY")..

WE STARTED AT NORTH HIGH..

WATCHING MEGAN & COLLEEN PLAY SOFTBALL..

& "THEN"..

THE "REST" OF THAT-DAY..

MY WIFE & I

TOOK MY MOM & DAD

"ON"-THE "OLD-TOWN KERN-CRAWL"..

"NARDUCCI'S"..

"WOOL GROWERS"..

"PYRENEES CAFE"..

& WE ENDED-"UP"

AT "LUIGI'S"..

WHERE ONE OF MY "ALL"-TIME "FAVORITE" PHOTOS
WAS-TAKEN..

OF MY MOM..MY DAD..MY WIFE..& ME..

"SITTING"-AROUND
A "PATIO"-TABLE AT "LUIGI'S"..

THERE'S A PITCHER OF BEER..

& 4-GLASSES..

("ALL"--"HALF"-FULL)..

& WE'RE-"ALL"---"SMILING"..

("GENUINE"-"HAPPY"-SMILES)..

"I"..

AM SITTING "NEXT" TO MY DAD..

&-"HE"

HAS HIS "LEFT"-ARM

"AROUND" MY SHOULDER..

NOW MY LATE-DAD "WASN'T" AN "OUTWARDLY-AFFECTIONATE" MAN..

BUT IN "THAT"-PICTURE..

(WHICH SITS IN A PROMINENT-POSITION IN MY MAN CAVE)..

I CAN "SEE"....
HOW-"MUCH"
HE "LOVED"-ME..

SO..

HERE'S ANOTHER FILL-IN-THE-BLANK-"THOUGHT-STARTER"

by Tony Manes , posted Jun 7 2013 12:48PM

SO..

WHEN THE KIDS WERE GROWING-UP..

TACOS..

WERE A "REGULAR"-ITEM ON OUR DINNER-MENU..

MY WIFE
MAKES "GREAT"-TACOS..

CARNE ASADA..
POLLO..
CAMARONES..

(SHE-"IS"
A FAIR-SKINNED BLONDE..
WHO GREW-UP IN LA CANADA..

SO IT'S "NOT"-SURPRISING

THAT "SHE"-WOULD MAKE "GREAT"-TACOS)..

"BUT"..

WHEN ALL OUR KIDS
WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE..

SHE "QUIT" MAKING TACOS..

(THE "SMELL" OF TACO-MEAT..

"SIMMERING" ON THE STOVE..

"DISAPPEARED"
FROM OUR "CASA")..

& "THEN"..

THE BONELESS..
SKINLESS..
CHICKEN BREASTS...

& BROCCOLI..

& ZUCCHINI..

& ASAPARAGUS..

&-"BEET-SALADS"..

"&".....

SHE MADE THEM "AGAIN"-

"MONDAY"-NIGHT..

"&"--TUESDAY..

My i-Phone goes IN to the pool

by Tony Manes , posted Jun 5 2013 12:40PM

SO..

I TOLD YOU "YESTERDAY"..

THAT OVER THE WEEKEND..

I WAS "RUSHING"-AROUND..

"NOT"-PAYING ATTENTION..

& I "ACCIDENTALLY"

"FELL"..

(FULLY-CLOTHED..& HOLDING A BROOM)..

"IN"-TO...OUR POOL..

(I "SUSPECT"
THAT AS I WAS "RUSHING"-AROUND..
"NOT" PAYING-ATTENTION..

MY-WIFE "MOVED" THE POOL..

TO A "PLACE" WHERE I WOULD "FALL"-IN..

GIVING "HER"..
& THE "PETS"..
A "GOOD"-LAUGH)..

ANYWAY..

"MANY"-ITEMS WERE "DAMAGED"

MY-"PRIDE"..

MY "MANHOOD"..

MY-"CONFIDENCE"
IN MY "ABILITY"
TO "NAVIGATE-OUR-BACKYARD"..
"WITHOUT" WALKING "IN"-
TO THE WATER-FILLED-HOLE)..

"&"..

MY "I-PHONE"..

(WHICH IS "WAAAAAY" MORE-IMPORTANT THAN MY "PRIDE"..

"OR"..MY "MANHOOD"

"OR"..MY "NAVIGATION-SKILLS")..

IT WAS "IN"-MY POCKET..

(& "THAT"-STICKING YOUR
"WET-PHONE" IN "RICE??..

THAT "DOESN'T"-WORK)..

SO..

I "WENT" TO THE AT&T STORE

WHERE I "RECEIVED"-"GREAT" CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM "LESLIE"..

(IT ONLY-TOOK..."30"-MINUTES)..

BUT YOU KNOW-"WHAT"
TAKES-THE-"MOST"-TIME??..

WHEN THEY "DISAPPEAR"
IN-TO THE "BACK ROOM"
TO "GET"..
THE NEW-PHONE..

("LESLIE" WAS-GONE
FOR LIKE-"10"-MINUTES)..

& "I" STARTED TO "WONDER"..

"WHAT'S" SHE "DOING"
"BACK-THERE"?..

"I"-IMAGINE..
IT'S A "BEAUTIFUL"-PLACE

(A-"LOT" LIKE "HEAVEN"..

OR "CAMBRIA")..

WITH "I-PHONES"..
& "I-PADS"..
& "I-PAD--MINI'S"..

"STACKED"..
AS-"FAR"...AS THE EYE CAN SEE..

& IT'S "QUIET"..

"EXCEPT"....FOR THE "HUMMM"

OF-THE "I-PHONES"..
& "I-PADS"..
& "I-PAD--MINIS"..

"CHARGING")..

WHAT "GOES-ON"
"BACK-THERE" THAT-TAKES "SOOO"-LONG?.

IS LESLIE BACK-THERE
"MAKING FUN OF ME"--
BECAUSE I HAVE AN "OLD" PHONE?..

IS SHE "REGISTERING" MY "NEW"-PHONE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT "TRACKS"-ME
THROUGH-"GPS"..

IS LESLIE A "NAPPING"..

TO THE QUIET-"HUM"..

OF-THE "I-PHONES"..
& "I-PADS"..
& "I-PAD--MINIS"..

"CHARGING"?..

ALL "I"-KNOW..

IS THAT AFTER-ABOUT 10-MINUTES..

LESLIE WALKED-"OUT"..

OF THE "BACK-ROOM"..

(I-"HEARD" A FAINT-"HUM")..

& "HANDED"-ME

A "BRAND"-NEW..

"I-PHONE"..

(NOW..

I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THAT

"WATERPROOF YOUR I-PHONE"-APP..

OR..

EVEN-"BETTER"..

"GOOGLE EARTH"..

SO I CAN "SEE"...

WHERE "I"-AM..

IN PROXIMITY TO THE POOL)..

Whoops!

by Tony Manes , posted Jun 4 2013 12:55PM

SO..

I WAS WATCHING THE PACERS-HEAT NBA PLAYOFF GAME SATURDAY NIGHT..

I GREW-UP "IN"-INDIANA..

SO I'M A PACERS-FAN..

& "NOTHING" WOULD BE "SWEETER" THAN BEATING LEBRON JAMES & THE HEAT..

SO MY WIFE & I WERE WATCHING
GAME-6 IN MY MAN-CAVE..

("YES"..MY WIFE "IS"-ALLOWED IN THE MAN CAVE--BUT "ONLY"
FOR "IMPORTANT"-GAMES.....

OR THE SEASON-PREMIERE OF "KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS"..)..

NOW "I"..

WAS FIRED-UP..

(BECAUSE LIKE-I-SAID..
THE HEAT...LEBRON JAMES)..

WELL..

I HAD BEEN DOING SOME YARD-WORK "EARLIER" IN-THE-DAY..

& I-"HADN'T" FINISHED

PUTTING EVERYTHING "AWAY"

WHEN THE GAME STARTED..

SO..

"WHENEVER"
THERE WAS A TIME-OUT..

I WOULD "DASH" FROM THE MAN CAVE..

"OUT" THE BACK-DOOR..

"GRAB" A COUPLE OF YARD-TOOLS..

"RETURN" THEM TO THE GARAGE..

& DASH-"BACK" TO THE COUCH
IN THE MAN CAVE..

WELL THE "3RD"-TIME
I "RUSHED" OUT..

& I WAS SWEEPING-UP..

"AROUND" THE POOL..

& I-"TURN"

TO "HURRY"-BACK "INSIDE"..

BUT I'M
"WAAAAY"-CLOSER
TO THE POOL
THAN I THOUGHT..

(MY "RIGHT"-FOOT WAS ON THE "EDGE" OF THE POOL..

& "ALL"-MY WEIGHT..
WAS "PUSHING"-ME "THAT"-WAY)..

SO I'M-"FIGHTING"

TO REGAIN-MY-BALANCE..

& I'M "TIGHT-ROPING"

ALONG THE "EDGE" OF THE POOL..

& I-"GET" MY WEIGHT-SHIFTED
TO THE "LEFT"-SIDE..

& I GET MY "LEFT"-FOOT DOWN..

BUT IT'S "TOO"-LATE..

& "ME"..

& MY-"BROOM"...

FALL "INTO" THE POOL

WITH A "GIANT"-SPLASH..

& AS I "HIT" THE WATER..

MY-"GLASSES" WENT FLYING-OFF MY FACE..

&-"SANK"...TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL..

(NOW "WITHOUT" GLASSES OR CONTACTS..
I CAN'T "SEE"..PAST THE END OF MY NOSE)..

SO I'M "STANDING"

IN THE "MIDDLE" OF THE POOL..

"FULLY"-CLOTHED..

"BLIND"..

"STUNNED"..

"HOLDING" A BROOM..

& I'M BROUGHT-BACK TO "REALITY"

BY THE "SOUND" OF MY-WIFE "LAUGHING"..

&-"SAYING"..

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE POOL?"..

(JUST "COOLING-OFF" SWEETIE)..
