I, out there, this old, old, bluish, and I've got a problem down here. And I don't know if there's anybody out there who can help me or not. But I thought I'd talk to you about it and see if anybody out there has an answer or a way that they can help me. I sure would appreciate it.

And I don't know exactly just exactly where to start. But I'll tell you that, well, I guess I'll tell you like this. Back under about six months ago, there was a regular trailer rig that come down this road. He was on the wrong road, I guess, because they nothing on this road that dead ends down here below the house about about five miles.

But he didn't, I guess I reckon he didn't know anything about it. Anyway, he got on this road and come around the curve. And when he did, that old trailer rig, Jack Knife, don't him and went over in the ditch. Of course, he couldn't get it out.

And he left the trailer and went to call for help. And when he did, a bunch of us went down there to see what that old truck was hauling. And it had all them, it was full, this plum full loaded down with them. What they used to call TV dinners.

I think they call them froze dinners now is what they call them. They used to call them TV dinners. Well, we got in there and got them out of there. And I don't know how many of them dinners was in there.

I mean, them froze dinners was in there, but we got them all out and took them down. Oh, flossy has got about four or five freezers because she does, you know, the hog killing in the butchering down here. And she's got about four or five of them freezers and we loaded them freezers down with them dinners. And you know, anybody could go in there and get one that wanted it.

You know, there's a whole about, I guess 20 people that live down here on this road and anybody that wants some dinners could go in there and get it. We didn't have any rules against it. And you know, I had them dinners till I got pretty tart of them, but you know, you've got to eat them because they're free. And so I need to about two of them a day.

They had all the head chick in and roast beef and they had this stuff they called salad is very steak. And that's kind of like hamburger, you know, with had some kind of a gravy over it. And they had, you know, they're pretty good. They had the potatoes in there with them and, you know, some kind of vegetable peas or string beans.

And then they had some kind of dessert, you know, little sweet cake or some kind of pie, you know, in there with them. And they was pretty good for a while. But I had them till, you know, I just about got got tired of them that way. And everybody else down here did too, you know, they had them and they people got pretty tart of them.

But like I say, they was, they was free and I was going to eat them till they was gone because, you know, it kept me from having to buy groceries down here. And I don't get, I can't say I ain't got enough money because, you know, I've got a pretty good bunch of cows down here and I sell eggs and milk and stuff to the lumber mill down here on the levy and to different places. And so I've got enough money, but a man can't get too much money and any kind of any time you can save, you do it. Well, I'm about to run out of time on this segment.

So I'll tell you the rest of this story in just a few minutes that way. Hey, this is on the lowest back with you. I want to go on and tell you the rest of my story. It's playing the problem to you.

And I'm sorry that it takes me so long to tell a story because I don't mean to hold people up, but it's, it's just the way I talk. I can't help it. And so I hope you'll bear with me. But I was telling you that these, these, I was trying to eat all these dinners down here, you know, to save my money because they was free.

And everybody else was eating them too. Of course that was all right. It was a community thing. But anyway, we've got to get these dinners out of these freezers.

That's what it amounts to because old Flossie is getting ready to kill Hogs and she told us that she didn't mean nothing, but we need to get them dinners out of them freezers because he had another use for them, you know. So anyway, I went in there to see what's left and only kind of dinners that's left in them freezers that you lay at all the roast beef and the salad's very steak and the chicken and the only thing that's left in them freezers is something called lasagna. Now I don't, I ain't never ate a lasagna before. I don't know what it is.

I don't know if it's some kind of meat or I don't know what it is. It looks like, well, I won't tell you, I won't tell you what it looks like, but it ain't nothing that I would want to eat. I don't think, but anyway, I want to just to see I tasted it and I had to throw it out. I couldn't, I don't know what in the world lasagna is, but I couldn't eat it.

And so I tried to feed it to my dog because I thought, you know, my dog eat anything and I tried to feed it to my dog and he sniffed it, smelt it and then he went on off. He wouldn't eat it itself. So you know, if something is so bad that a person won't eat it and a dog won't eat it, you know, I don't know what to do with it. So if there's any of you out there that knows what lasagna is that wants to, these dinners, I shall get into you because they ain't nothing that I would want.

And that's all that's left. I'm sorry, but we add up all the chicken and all the roast beef, we add all the salad's various takes. And the only thing that's left is that lasagna and I don't know what to do with it. I hate to waste food and I know that they wouldn't have made them things unless there was somebody out there that like them.

I mean, I'm sure that there are people out there somewhere that eat lasagna and I don't know what it is, but I know that there's some people out there that must eat it otherwise they wouldn't make it. You know, that's just only common sense. So anyway, if you're out there and you know what lasagna is and you want some of it, we've got about 50 of them lasagna dinners down here and I'll give you, you won't charge you a thing for them just to get them out of flosses freezer because she's got to have the freezer empty and so we've got to get them dinners out of there. And I hate to throw food away.

I really, my mother told me a long time ago that it was a sin to waste food and I believe that she's right and I don't want to throw something away that somebody would eat. I really, but I sure don't want to eat them myself. I can't stand whatever that is, whatever that lasagna is, I can't stand it. So I'm going to leave it at that and if you want to come down here and take some of these dinners off of my hands, then just call me and I'll even bring them to you.

I'll show them to wherever you are because they, nobody else here, I've asked the other people on this road and they say, no, they don't want them. They never heard them. And so anyway, if you out there and you know what lasagna is and you won't eat these dinners, give me a call and I'll bring them down there to you. I'll carry them to you wherever you live.

So anyway, I'm going to get off of here and maybe you can help me out with my problem. I sure hope so.
