Sweet little AuntiE calls 'her' Worried For Our Children (WFOC) and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." He asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
To which AuntiE replies, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster." WFOC decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster." He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he said with a deep sigh.....
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box." :roll:

As I never purchase corn flakes, it must have been you. Transference is a sign of aging. Ooops, you are old......er.

It would seem that you bought the box of cornflakes thinking it was a puzzle. :wink: :mrgreen: Poor, dementia-ridden dear. :lol:

You two at it again I see. Corn flakes are good with some milk and sugar or you can crunch them up and add them to some hamburger along with all the other ingredients and form a nice meatloaf for dinner. Slatten49 would love that.

Glad to see you are up to some shenanigans! I was about to PM you to be sure you have not been washed away by the Texas storms I am seeing on the news. Stay dry!

Such purchase would only occur if the puzzle results would be.....

Yes, sir, Mr. Bahmer. I love meatloaf :!: :thumbup:
I have used crushed crackers, oatmeal, etc., along with cornflakes in making such. :wink:

Thank you for the reassurances. This will negate my having to make a phone call and/or fretting over Verizon NON-connectivity, allowing for my imagination to run amuck!!

I appreciate all's concerns, Paul, but the rain we're getting is no threat. The severely hit areas are far from us. Lake Whitney would have to be up probably a hundred feet before I would worry. And, I believe that is above the level of the dam below us. Are rainfall is light and intermittent. Many of the lakes to the north and northwest of us are finally filling up after years of drought. :thumbup:
