GEORGE THE STINK BUG
You have to be following the craziest fashion blog on the internet. You know that, right? What other blog has a stinkbug in the title? Lol! I want to introduce you to my crazy world and that includes stink bugs. Most of you have heard me talk about my granddaughter, Emersyn. Emersyn is three years old and she has developed a healthy dislike of bugs. She screams anytime she sees a bug, an ant, or a spider. She immediately wants to be picked up and wants me to kill whatever she has spotted.Emersyn came over to visit with me the other day. She was running between me, in the living room, and Pa, in the computer room. As she ran into the kitchen, she stopped dead in her tracks and screamed, “Nee Nee, there is a bug in here!” I knew what was coming next but I didn’t want to kill the bug. This stink bug had been flying around my light in the dining room and for some odd reason I had just left it alone. Emersyn was having none of that. I walked into the room and said, “That is George, he is my pet bug.” She looked at me for a minute and then looked back at the bug flying around the light and you could see her struggling. Finally, she decided that George could live.
Joe and I would see “George” flying around occasionally and just laugh and go on. But one day I noticed that I hadn’t seen George in a day or two. I mentioned to Joe that I had missed him and Joe said he found him on the outside of the door. (here is the funny part) Joe grabbed the bug an threw it INSIDE the house! He was afraid he might have hurt him because we still had not seen him.
On Christmas Eve, Joe wanted to take some food to one of his friends and he wanted me to get him a bowl with a lid to put the food in. I got into my cabinet with the lids and bowls and quickly got frustrated because I couldn’t find a matching set. Finally I grabbed out a huge handful of lids and pulled them out. I heard something fall onto the floor and I looked and saw a stinkbug. I yelled at Joe that I had found George!!! No wonder he hadn’t been flying around, he had been stuck in the cabinet. In about 30 minutes George was up and flying around the light again.
Yes, we are a strange couple. Hahaha! I’ll tell our about our “pet” mockingbird at another time. Lol!
Can you see yourself (or your daughter or granddaughters) taking advantage of an opportunity to “partner” with me? You can join with me on a journey that could be life changing. I am interested in taking on new business partners. I am interested in seeing where these opportunities can take me. SO, I am willing to help you join with me.
Joining Plunder is 99.00. That is not a huge amount of money for starting your own business but I want to make it even easier. If you join Plunder with me, I will offer to pay half of your kit back to you. If you are interested, then email me for the details at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Joining Rodan and Fields has three levels you can join at. If you join me in my business with at least the 395.00 kit, I will also offer to reimburse you half of your kit back to you. You could start a business and only have 200.00 invested, email me for the details at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Opportunities come in different forms and sometimes they come when we aren’t even looking. I can tell you honestly that I am so glad I decided to blindly follow my instincts, even though I had no idea where it was taking me. I can’t wait to see where it is taking me next. Come join me.

No one wants to smash a stink bug! That would be a mistake. Funny you should mention a pet mockingbird. My grandmother had a mockingbird that would sit in a tree outside her kitchen window. His name was Dickie. He would just sit and talk to her. Funny thing, I never thought of it as strange. Grandmom was so good with animals. She loved them all.
Our Mockingbird was named Loud Mouth. He would always perch in the same spot and would not shut up. Joe even has a video of him doing a dance. Lol!
That was funny!!
thank you for my chuckle of the day
George is lucky, I would have gotten rid of him the first time he appeared.
Normally I would have put him out too. I have no idea why George got to stay. Hahaha
A smile this morning from you. Thank you much. You are too funny.
Good morning, Glenda.
Please unsubscribe me to your blog.
Debbie, I cannot unsubscribe for you just like I cannot subscribe for you. You have that option on the email that is sent out to you each morning. I see George pushed you over the edge.
What exactly is a stink bug
Cindy commented an article on the bugs. They have only recently been appearing in my neck of the woods.
Oh you made me smile. I understand completely. I call myself the Spider Whisperer because I never hurt spiders (or any bug really) and either let them be or place them safely outside!!
I normally put them outside. But I really can’t stand spiders, they are the worst for me.
Just read this article that might explain George:

I am not a particular fan of bugs, but I really dislike wasps and spiders!!!
Haha, you are funny people!
