Wow! Now we have two guys with the same name. Our ol' buddy Gus K. in Sydney, Australia registered in September of 2011 as "Snagman". Today, "snag man" in Melbourne, Australia registered on WD. Geeeeze, I hope you boys can remember which one you are. :roll: The rest of us will just have to guess until one of you grows a mustache!

Welcome to WD "snag man" in Melbourne. Grab a cup of brown gargle at the campfire and pull up some shade! You`re going to like this place. It`s a lot like my wooden candy bowl at Christmas... it`s got quite a few nuts in it! Oh yes... Snag man, and I`ve got some "Saddlebum`s Western Wisdom" for you. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up... because however good or bad a situation is, it will change. Time heals almost everything. ... But you`ve got to give time, some time.

And, oh yes, don`t miss the Australian And New Zealand Resources For "Downunder" Members Of WD at this link: http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=6050

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Just our way of saying, "Howdy"! :shock: We`re mighty glad to have you with us, Matrob. Pull up some shade and sit-cher-self by the campfire for some red-hot, cow-brown, Arbuckle`s ditchwater gargle! Say there, I`ve got just a bit of Seasoned Saddlebum`s "Sage Advice" & Philosophy From The Saddle just fer' you! "Never catch snowflakes with your tongue until all the birds have gone south for the winter".

Best Wishes,

Yaaahooo wranglers! We have three more members with us. Welcome aboard Dmhyiallouros in Limassol, Cyprus, MRMatuszek in Auckland, New Zealand, and Eastman17c in the Philippines. It`s nice to have you folks with us. Hey folks, does anyone know where the world`s oldest, known water-wells are located? Yup, on Cyprus. Shucks pards, I even heard that they had some petrified cowboys over there!

Say there, isn`t it about time for some.... "Enquiring Minds Want To Know"?
How come wrinkles don`t hurt? And why do psychics have to ask you for your name? How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work? And, if a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? Yeah... and If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? And finally, :roll: did you know that you don`t need a parachute to skydive?... You only need a parachute to skydive TWICE!

Oh, and yes... MRMatuszek in Auckland... don`t miss the Australian And New Zealand Resources For "Downunder" Members Of WD at this link: http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=6050

Yaaaa Hooooo! Three more wranglers joining us today with superior intellect and advanced intelligence! And just how do I know they are so smart? Well, they joined the world`s greatest website didn`t they? :wink: Welcome to the English-speaking division of the Polish sausage-making site called Wedliny Domowe. You are going to like this place fellas! It kind of reminds me of a squirrel`s cheek. It`s just full of nuts!

First up is Alberto from Ankara, Turkey, followed by Dan_is from Poltava in the Ukraine. Paulblackwood is the next wrangler, and he`s from "downunder" in Victoria, Australia. We`re just tickled to have you fellars with us. Say, isn`t it about time for some... Chuckwagon`s Saddlebum`s Sagebrush Sagacity & Wild West Wisdom?

Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. If you happen to disagree with someone along the way, don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. Shucks, don't take yourself so seriously! No one else does.

Grab a cup of hot Arbuckle`s boys! It`s in that bent-up, chipped, blue-enameled, beat up ol` pot on the campfire. And Paul, be sure to check out this link for folks in Australia and New Zealand. http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=6050.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Hey, hey LeonardHoff from Cream Ridge in the USA! Welcome to Wedliny Domowe. I do believe that would be in New Jersey. Am I correct? Hey Leonard, have you ever noticed that you can`t hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time? I hope everything is going your way - not "coming" your way - when everything is coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane! :shock:
It`s nice to have you with us Leonard. Pull up some shade and join us `round the campfire.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Getting` older was a whole lot easier than gettin` wiser! Yup, today, my wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran. Shucks, some days, you're the top dog; some days you're just the hydrant. And, if all is not lost, then where the heck is it? These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".

Hey folks, we`ve got a new member at WD and his name is Timpane from Canada. Welcome aboard Timpane. Grab a cup of Arbuckle`s and pull up some shade. Kick off yer` ol` boots... but only if you changed yer` socks!
You`re going to like this place. It`s full of renegades, horse thieves, leather-tough wranglers, and nuts! And they`re all "perty"! :roll: Nice to have you with us Timpane!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Hey Wranglers! We have three new wady ropers ridin` into the WD camp today! Thunderation... I`ve seen these boys before! Yup... on a poster at the Post Office! :shock: Let`s say hello and howdy to Smik1 from Maple Falls, Washington, John128 from Perth, Australia, and Moose Maniac from Red Earth Creek, in Alberta, Canada! Howdy boys. Make yer`selves comfortable and pull up some shade. Shake off some dust and pour yer`selves a cup of hot ditchwater from the Greenriver. It`s a little stout, but it`ll warm yer` insides. Welcome to Wedliny Domowe - the greatest sausage-making site on the planet.
I`ve got a little "Chuckwagon`s Saddlebum`s Sagebrush Sagacity & Wild Western Wisdom" for you waddies! And here it is: Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience! There are those who think they are too big for their own britches ... believe me... they will be exposed in the end!
Nice to have you with us, fellas!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

I believe El DuckO is a prime example of a child who grew up in a house with lead paint. Yup, he`s about a taco short of a full plate! This is the man who looked me square in the eye and said, "I couldn`t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder"! Yes, yes, yes... I`ve given up trying to raise him! It`s too much like nailing JellO to a board.

Hey Folks, We have a new member today. She is "eman" in Argentina. Welcome aboard "eman". We`re glad to have you with us. Make yourself right at home and grab a cup of Arbuckle`s from the pot on the campfire. You`re with good company!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

We`ve got a couple of new members with us! Yipppppe Yi Ohhhh! But one of these guys is an old timer with us. You see, Andre J. Wout had to re-register under another name... so... welcome again to WD "northwall" in Durham, England. And right behind northwall is a smart-lookin` guy named Shuswap from British Columbia in Canada. Goodness, we`re just going to have to ask both these fellas where they came up with their handles. Northwall and Shuswap both sound like there are long legends behind them. Anyway, it`s nice to have you with us folks.

Say now, isn`t it just about time for some... Seasoned Saddlebum`s "Sage Advice" & Philosophy From The Saddle? Shucks pards, the first two are authentic. The remaining words of advice that may have been by people who... well... uhh... probably wish they had said them!

1. "You can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." ~ (Abraham Lincoln)
2. "Character shows up best when tested. You can't tell how good a man or a watermelon is 'til they get thumped." ~ (Chuckwagon)
3. "Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want." ~ (El DuckO)
4. "Fast is good but accurate is better." ~ (El Rosco Hill-O Ssorllih)
5. "When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile." ~ (Grasshopper)
6. "Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere." ~ (Ursula)
7. "The best is yet to come..." ~ (Sawhorse Ray)
8. "If something don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't. (Jason Story)
9. "Believe in miricles! ~ Krakowska
10. "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." ~ Sambal Badjak

Yeeee Hawwww!
My saddle pal, Bad Bob was busy holding up a fence post, chewing on a strand of straw, as I rode up.
"Whoa Thunderbolt, Whoa big fella", I said to my hoss as the dust clouded the air.
"Hey Bad Bob", I said to my friend as he continued to stare at the ground.
"What`s the long face fer` ol` pard"? How come yer` lookin` like you lost yer` best friend?"
The man slowly looked up, pushed his hat back on his head, and took the straw from his mouth.
"Well, maybe I jest did", the old cowboy replied.
"Say, where IS your best ol` buddy, "Dutchoven" Dick? I enquired. I haven`t seen him all day". "You boys are nearly inseparable", I said.
"Well, let me put it this way..." said Bad Bob. "Would you hang around with a guy who swore in church, passed gas at the dinner table, and flirted constantly with yer` wife, calling her a "big buxom beauty with her own pair of .44 Magnums"? asked Bob.
"Of course not", I replied!
"Well, neither would Dutchoven Dick", exclaimed Bob!

Hey wranglers! We`ve got 4 new members with us today. Welcome aboard "cupidsrose" from Belarus, "longanisa" (would not give location), azbill in beautiful Tempe, Arizona - a great little college town - and "burger" (would not give location). Pull up some shade and join us `round the ol` campfire for some Arbuckle`s thick as molasses. Kick yer` boots off folks! You`re going to like this place. Yeee Hawwww!... again :roll:

Hey Smoke Sniffers, Did you know that eight U.S. presidents were born in Virginia? Yup, can you name them? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson.
We`ve got a new member and he says his handle is "ConfederateQ" from Virginia. Now, I don`t know about you, but I`m taking this new guy seriously because I`ve had Virginia Barbeque and it is marvelous! Welcome aboard ConfederateQ! I think you`ll like this place. Pull up some shade and make yourself at home. There`s a cup of brown gargle on the campfire with your name on it. Nice to have you with us.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Howdy "ribolitta" in Healdsburg California. You`re ridin` a little quick into camp. Careful now, we don`t want dust in the biscuit mix. And just who are those guys followin` you? They are giggin` their "hosses perty hard". Are you absquantulatin` the low country among the willows? We won`t ask... that way we can`t tell! Put yer` kidney pad in the tack shed and tender your puddin` foot amongst those broomtails. Smear some corral dust on your face and join us at the campfire for Mexican strawberries. Those ol` badge packers will wonder where you went! Oh, and yes... welcome to WD. It`s nice to have you with us.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Ah, Mexican strawberries. ...reminds me of friendlier times and workin' days. We used to fly into Guanajuato (Leon airport), then head east by car through "el Bahio," a rich farmland valley, to Querétaro on business. In season, there would be stands every couple of kilometers advertising "Fresas con Crema," strawberries with cream. We always waited until we got to our destination, due to sanitary concerns, but it would have been a glorious and delicious death! Field-ripened strawberries and "real" cream are out of this world.

...or certainly, out of this country. What we buy in grocery stores, having been shipped and irradiated and homogenized and pasteurized out of its misery, pales in comparison with the real thing.

Next time you pass a fruit or vegetable stand by the side of the road, do yourself a favor. Stop, check 'em out, buy, head home, and enjoy your loot, whatever it is. Unprocessed milk and cream are harder to come by, but if you can trust the source...

Yum!

Howdy Wranglers! Shucks, life goes by quickly! These days my wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran. I guess some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the hydrant. I found out that it`s hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. And I finally learned that the world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.

Say, we`ve got three nice -looking, friendly, folks joining us today! Welcome aboard trucktramp in Scotts, Michigan, gundlr in Ohio, and ottothecow in Illinois. It`s a pleasure to welcome you to Wedliny Domowe. Pull up some shade and "setcherself" down around the campfire for a cup of my infamous Arbuckle`s brown gargle! You`re going to like this place fellas... lots of helpful folks around! Welcome to WD!

Best Wishes,
