It's in the oven rite now. No, there ain't nuff to feed ya'll. Two BIG chik'ns, washed and rolled in flour. Laid on their backs and absolutely covered up with split taters, 6 onions, 3# carrots and 4 hunks of celery. Garlic salt, pepper and a glass of water added.

Lil Dumplin will be home about 5:30 I rekon. Old Calvin is outside because "it" is poutin. I failed to give "it" a homemade donut--built special for this big old ugly hillbilly by Ole Sis my most favorite niece! [I told'r I was gonna brag on'r a mite---to the entire world!!!] Anyhoo-NOTHING can talk me outta those donuts. Ya'll wanna know how to build'm? Check in the archives under "Stories from hoot--DONUTS".

Now, I won't ruin your day over my phone bill--but---if those greedy folks think I'm gonna pay $5.44 per minute for calls from Bilox, Ms to home! Another greedier [is that a word] phone company charged me OVER $7--PER MINUTE!!! These were made on ATT phone credit cards last month. Ain't that many coke cans layin around. Of course, I'm not gonna pay all that cash out. I may be ugly but I ain't stoooopid!

We will stand before the Master and give an account of ourselves on judgment day. I don't really want to have to look Him in the face and tell'm I crooked somebody outta some money. Betcha they'll be a bunch of feet looked at on that day. He's comin soon for His own. Are ya'll one of His own? old hoot. Matt.24:44

Your making me want chicken tonite, but I gotta pass. The local constabulary frowns about "taking a sack and doing the Snuffy Smif". Are you still getting better healthwise ?

The chicken sounds great Hoot. So do the donuts. You're making me hungry.

Hey Jay! I used to know a man who carried a "tote" sack and he wasn't carrin taters either! Told his neighbor one time that he needed to buy a better breed of chicken--those were just too tough!

My healing if progressing quite nicely. Heart disease was healed instantly by the Power of Almighty God--on Jan 12,02. Cancer started dyin at that time also but isn't completed just yet. Diabetes is also on the run.

I found a herbal cure for cancer that I'm also takin just to help clean up any cancer cells that might happen to be lookin for a restin place. Thanks for askin Jay!

Regarding the donuts--I've et bunches of'm grownin up about a hundred years ago or so. Ain't found nuthin wrong with ANY of'm and these were even better than the best I ever remember. Let's give a big hand to "ole sis" for keepin this old ugly hillbilly in homemade donuts!!
