BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK


Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

Big Butch's Financial Savings Plan

 


In these hard economic times, we must all find ways to conserve.  After much thought, Big Butch has come up with the following solutions:

1. Turn the heat down to 60 degrees. Instead wear sweat pants and let the chihuahua sleep inside...Immediate heating pad.

2. Turn the water heater down considerably. Cold water wakes you up and makes you hurry up as well. If you need warm water, the fish aquarium is at a steady 75 degrees.

3. If your tropical birds are too cold once the heat is turned down, let the cat sleep with them. One of two things will happen: 1) Both will be cozy 2) You won't have to worry about the problem anymore.

4. Cancel all premium Direct TV Channels and hide the remote from the dog. He'll not be able to order doggie porno at the push of a button while you are at work. That stuff costs money.

5. Negotiate with the pets to eat less. If they refuse to cooperate, remind them that there is a food chain and you are at the top. 

6. Let the guinea pigs graze in the yard. You won't have to buy as many veggies and less gas for the lawn mower.

7. Turn off the computer when not in use. The more time Fluffy spends on Facebook, the more electricity is used.

8. Instead of buying hairspray or gel, thoroughly wet your hair until dripping, lay down with the cat and take a nap. When you wake up, the cat will no longer be dehydrated, and your hair will be styled. (Be sure to leave
a hair magazine close by to give the cat some ideas on the latest hairstyles).

9. Turn off all lights. If you need to move around the house, grab the tale of the nearest dog or cat. They can see in the dark.

10. Cancel your security system. Inform the animals to bite anyone who drops by without bringing money or food and install a spike strip stolen from your local police station in your driveway.
