The redneck way of life


This was taken on Easter Sunday.

It's a picture of my youngest brother .... stapling a torn seam in his pants.

He's 21 and did this right in front of our mother. Mother wanted the picture taken to show a slice of the 'redneck' way of life...but I'm not sure if it is. I think my brother is just odd. I mean, wouldn't it make more sense to just give the jeans up...or give them to Mom to see if she can't mend them? Noooo....let's staple it.

Goofball. :)

That staple won't stay on too long. Besides there are some that rip holes in their jeans as it's the style!

Ciera,

Paige, deepest prayers for that child. You never have to ask...just give me your prayer requests... :)

Is he also a fellow Pennsytuckian?

Classic move...however very innovative and thus showing intelligence after all...as far as this on and off again friendship goes...this has to be emotionally exhausting you.

MC - he just might

Daydreamer - it is. For her too, but then she's had then entire church blackballing her [for no good reason] so I can understand some of her actions. Guess who they're ignoring now that she's gone??? me.

And all I've done is refuse to give up on a friendship because I know that is what Jesus would do for me.

Instead of staples I use iron-on patches but I do them from the inside so they don't show. Occasionally, if it's in an area I can get to, I'll use my sewing machine to do it.

BTW, I don't think your brother was strange to do that--just pragmatic. He wanted the jeans and a stapler was handy.

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.

Letter: Q Now, I wonder why you would like the letter Q. I wonder what Jean-Luc REALLY thinks about that? Uhm---it's the only Star Trek related letter. :P Any comment Jean-Luc?? Body Part on Opposite sex: smile Age you wanna lose your Virginity: How old am I now? LOL Can these two answers really correspond? It sounds to me like you might be lying in one of these. What???? Sex doesn't start with a smile? Besides....you should see his smile. Strawberry or Watermelon: watermelon What! Watermelon! You...You... TRAITOR! :P Kiss or Hug: both Now, this answer seems to correspond well with both your answers in the above mentioned two questions. And your point is? Rap or Punk: rap You really like rap? Uhm...I think TobyMac counts as rap and I like a few of his songs. I also like hiphop. Wanna see me dance with ...
