We HAVE to have a random comment thread!!
I added the 'quick reply' box to my profile and I'm loving it!!!!! :) :biggrin:
quick reply box?
3rd mall from the sun
Yup, quick reply box. Each time I open up a thread, I have a box at the bottom to type and post in without hitting additional buttons. The only draw back is that one would need to memorize the smiley codes to remit them.
I'm so anxious today...I could pee my pants. :-\
What's going on, Sunny? (hands her a box of Depends)
Start a "female urination protocol" thread.
Cover, hover, wipe, and flush with a foot!

Bite your tongue, Palehorse! >:(
I could go for some snow.
Does anyone know the earliest its ever snowed around here? I seem to remember an early October snow when I was probably about 12...
A nice 100 year snow-storm blanketing the area around now would be incredible! COME ON! Live a little! :biggrin:
You are talkin' my language there, Koolaid!
Please no snow yet. Still want to ride motorcyle a little longer.
Gettin closer to being out of newbie rank!! :)

Thank you Sunny!!
Ah, the fun of dancing bananas. <I actually sing that song by the lead singer of that one group everytime I spell bananas now>
Hell, did that even make sense!!!
There was a song by Harry Chapin called "Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas."
hmmm, never heard of that one. Last time, I was trying to think of No Doubt.
It is hailing here, looks like a bunch of marbles in my yard.
OOH I want hail!
You WANT hail?
Lay the crack pipe down and phone a friend!
My car is in the garage; sure, why not? LOL
The warnings are out here in northern ky and southern In. Are you guys not getting any of the fun?
Not yet. Possibly this evening.
My husband is coming up through Paducah...is he going to be going thru those if he's headed towards Indianapolis?
I looked at the doppler, if he is just now coming through, he very well may have it all the way. :(
I think so. Not sure. I haven't been able to get him on the phone since 2:30, so I assume he stopped to sleep.
I'm sure he is sleeping, it's not bad enough for you to worry about him. Sure didn't mean to scare you.
Oh it didn't. I just figure he should be waking soon to drive thru it. I thought he was up, cause he called about a half hour ago, but when I answered, no one was there.
Ok, good deal, just a bad connection.
Yeah, probably. No biggie. I'm not in the worlds biggest hurry to talk to him anyway. I hate Fridays because that is "money" day. All he wants to talk about are finances. Those make me nervous.
LOL, better to have a bad connection> :smile:
hehehe Yep!
I have to tickle
You have to tickle what?
Its lightning-ing outside!!
Okay that's a weird word. Lightninging. Is that a word?
Sunny.... are you moving to PA? Talk about culture shock... well, at least where the weather is concerned, I think.
The picture you posted... the home is lovely... are you looking online or are you in PA looking "for real"?????

Yep, LRHG...just woke up the other day & decided we needed to move back to NWPA! I miss the fall SO much & the snow, as well. Call me crazy...but, we'll come back to FL for vacations. That's what it feels like everyday. And, we will probably pass through WVa on our move up! :biggrin:
Thank you for asking -- it's a big step, but it's for the children...education system much better up there.

That sounds delicious. I can't believe I've been missing this thread!

Guess I'm too flippin' picky about avatars.
I think we all are, it took me quite a while to settle on the ones I do have.
Why do old people get cars with huge engines and then never drive over 35 mph?
Why do young people think you have to go so fast?
we dont...our eyes are good enough to see the speed limit signs and we try to stay near that. ;D

Good things happen to good people! I love when that happens! :smitten:
On the way home today I followed a Lambo-Diablo! Whatta escort! (Plate was an Indiana one that said "Lambo). I have to say that was a most unexpected treat to see such a fine automobile in Hoosierville! Traffic parted like it was Moses behind the wheel of that thing, and I just fell in behind him, bringing up the rear. :biggrin:
Dude slowed down as I was exiting, I gave him the thumbs up, which he returned. Gotta' say, that was a real treat seeing that machine! :sneaky:

LMFAO! :biggrin:
First one I've ever seen on the road! Couldn't let any distance accumulate between my truck and that machine either. . . Dunno who it was behind the wheel, but that guy must have an awful lot of discreationary cash to spend over 270k on a motor-vehicle! I'd hate to see his plate fees! :eek:
Wonder if it was a sign? Maybe my spirit guides were teasing me with something I'll never be able to afford?! :biggrin:
Yeah. Not to mention the balls he has to drive it in traffic. Whoa!
Ah, well, I suppose if he has the cash to buy it, he has the cash to pay for the plates, the insurance, and to repair it.

No doubt! Had the glass deep smoked so you couldn't see inside either. He rolled the window down as he pulled along side to return the thumbs up. Come on Lotto! :biggrin:
Wow! It's the end of September. :eek:
I haven't celebrated Christmas in over 20 years. This is going to be an awesome time in my life. I can just tell that blessings are going to be plentiful. :yes: :smitten: :yes: :smitten:

Yikes...that's a long time without Santa bringing any goodies to your house.... :-\
I know. Lil BEG has not lived in a decorated house.
My mom use to 'sneek' her out for a weekend after Thanksgiving and take her up to the house and have Lil BEG help her decorate her tree.
Guess what? Since I didn't have a tree or any ornaments or greenery - I got my mom's stuff!
Isn't that cool? :smile:
is it even possible to purchase a waterbed anymore??
I have to cook dinner now.....I hate having to pick the menu!!!!!! grrrrrrr :rant:
Someone should give it to me weekly, being unemployed this is my daily decision.....I don't like it! :rant:
I have to eat dinner now.
I know -- miserable job. (All together now): "But SOMEBODY'S got to do it."

You are
SUCH a show-off. I'm out roughin' it in the wilderness and you're racking up Karma points. Boy! Do I have a lot of catching up to do! :biggrin: Congratulations.
Seems love is something you can give that others don't have to take. What do you do with all that leftover love? I say, just give it. Does no good being bottled up and sides, if you don't give it even though it's not taken, then you are the phoney for saying you had it to give.
I'm going crazy!!!! Please save me from my 11 year old!!! I'm about ready to snap! I keep telling him to quit and he just keeps pushing me!!! Now, he's leaning over the keyboard, laughing his head off but little does he know I'm going to snap his little neck or make him wear girls panties!!!
hmmmmm. i'm leaning toward the panties. not that i swing that way, it just seems a bit less permanent. but i know how you feel. mine ran away from me in the store today. he rounded one corner, and took off at a full run, and was lost. i didn't know where he was for a full five minutes, and when i found him, i wanted to beat his skin off.
count 1, 2, 3, (ok, maybe not all his skin) 4, 5, 6, (maybe just a real good spanking) 7, 8, 9, (he kinda looks scared as it is, doesn't he?) 10.
"i'm glad i found you, do you know how much you scared daddy?"
Oh, I'm not really angry, we are actually having a little fun. Right now he has his hands over my eyes but I'm still typing away. He's enjoying being the center of attention at the present moment. Plus, I get to show him my mad typing skills! He's actually taking typing in school but he can't even barely type his name!!! He just said, 'I CAN STATE MY NMAE!'
uh...feel your pain Brat...I really do and agree w/awol. I've worn girl's panties all my life and I'm perfectly normal...really. :yes:

I don't know about you but I'm still laughing!! I had to get up to dry my eyes, I was laughing so hard! ;D
I have been mistaken for many things in my life..some were not too far off... but I'm fairly sure no one has mistaken me for the other gender.
Now, that was new.
Well maybe if I could see you, I would not have made that mistake....but right now all I see is a monitor and a keyboard. They happen to be gender neutral. I won't make that mistake again...I promise....lol
;D ;D ;D :oops: ;D ;D ;D
No need to apologize. I really did NOT take any offense at all. It was just funny.
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...Didn't really mean for it to be at your expense....lol ;D
No problem. Needed a good laugh. Thanks.
Anytime! See the hair?? I'm not legally blonde but I sure sometimes act like it...lol ;D
:wink: :wink: :wink:
You guys had me laughing like crazy!
I'm off to the store to buy the stuff for my son's birthday dinner tomorrow. 21, when did he get that old?
They do grow up fast Mom...my son will be 15 in about a month :o He's already talking about a car.... :end:
Luckily for us, they get older but we don't.
;D I'll have to remember that.

And, yeah. Made me feel a lot better.
It's almost my lunchtime guys....You're making me not so hungry now. :sick2:
I Had th SMAACMS sauce like I said I would. It set me on fire when coupled with the jalapeno already in the grilled tacos I had. Mui caliente! :redface:
Hey, nail some of that hot sauce. Gets the endorphins flowing.
I read where the Demon Phelps is considering a protest at the funeral service for those poor Amish school-girls in PA.
He should be incinerated! :mad:
I think he called it off. Everywhere he goes now, there are counter-demonstrators who block his A$$holes off from even getting close.

Thanks Brat, they all made it home safely. His two sisiters went with him and they all survived his 21st. :biggrin:
I had a PJ party with the grandbabies......Loved it!
Sunny it was my Son's 21st :yes:
Thanks for all the good words about my grandson's football game. They lost, but no one was hurt, so that's a good thing. The old coach in me was a little disturbed about some of the play calling, etc., but that is to be expected.
Wasn't homecoming for us, it was homecoming for the other school.
It was kinda sad. They had a very large football team --- but only 23 members of the band. And that included the flag line. I hate to see that imbalance. Sports are not the only thing in high school, but I believe the influence of the general community shows up glaringly in the numbers of participants.

Oooh. Haven't had to do that one. Luckily I don't deal with MedSupp or anything like that.
Headlights!
(That says it all!)
Looks like I won't have to deal with it next year....two tries and your out...I missed on both... :-[
Now Med Supps I will still have to deal with, and LTC, and individual health.
I don't do any health. I guess I could if I had it come up, but I don't prospect for it. My focus is life, p&c, and commercial.
Ours is mainly life and P&C, but I'm licensed to do everything...including bank products too.
Do you have your Series 6/63? I guess I'm going to start studying for it in January. :) Actually I'm looking forward to it. I love studying.
Not yet, but I think come January, I will have to study for it also. The new agent coming in has it and will probably expect me to get mine too. I hope its not as bad as the life/health test. That one about kicked my butt!
I think its supposed to be a lot harder. I passed life/health on my first try, with self study. I took a class for p&c, still passed on my first try! Self study was tough, and I tried to give up about 6 times. Finally my husband sat down with me and studied with me so I would have some sort of incentive not to daydream.
Cool! If we both start studying for it at the same time, we might be able to help eachother out!
That would be cool!
I did self study on both P&C and life/health. P&C I passed the first time. Life/health was a different story! You know you need a 70 to pass? My first try I got a 68 >:(......If that wasn't bad enough, the second try, I got a 69 :mad:.....I finally got a 70 on the third try. My boss laughed his butt off at me! I've never been so frustrated in my life!! Annuities and viatical settlements got me, I think.

I love parades...took my daugher downtown for a Homecoming parade earlier this evening.
First time in 3 years to hear about it & was quite impressed by the participation! She was quite impressed by the CANDY! ;D
Parades are great! I remember the Harvest Homecoming parade where I grew up. Its probably this week, actually...I miss going. I used to get those silly clips (today I would call them roach clips! LOL) that had the leather strings hanging down with bright colored feathers at the end. I would wear them in my hair. Every year at Harvest Homecoming I bought some!
Hmmm....didn't see anything like THAT there. :biggrin: But, I do know what you're talking about. They sold those at the county fair back home -- along with plastic cowboy hats that you could get airbrush/painted to match the clips!
Nope, today we got candy and a few beads! :smile: (G-rated, of course)
Yep! I remember those! And that was back in the days when EVERYONE had to have those rock band mirrors. We had Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchett, Ozzy...
Oooh yeah! I think I went for the softer side...Unicorns...Rainbows...always at the dart/balloon game. :biggrin:
Oh well, so did I. But those were my brothers (they were teens in the early 80s) and I remember looking at them. I always got my feathers, so I didn't even care to ask for those mirrors, too.
We also had a "dime toss" game where you could win mugs & unique glassware if your dime landed in it. Then you had to walk around all night with 15 glasses!
Remember the little yellow ducks? You pick them up and get a certain colored circle and you got a goldfish.
Sure do! And the frog game where you had to slam the thing onto lily pads to win a stuffed animal!

It's so funny to see people putting on heavy coats when the temperature dips below 70 degrees. ;D
At the football game Friday night the temperature dropped to about 35. Mostly people wore medium jackets. Very few winter coats.
I think they were trying to say "screw you" to the weather. ;D ;D
My first winter in California (2005) and I saw people walking around in parkas and boot I totally LMAO. When I try to explain to them temperatures of 20 w/a windchill -10...they basically blink at me. :-\

Wow! That brought back some elementary school memories...lol Thanks!
Ever wonder who & how many kids tried the comet thing? GAG!!!
EWWWW!! I'm sure there were a few! I wasn't one of them though...lol
Neither was I. Just the chlorine smell...........
:sick2: :no:
Yep. Instant yak-up.
I do remember some of the kids in my class eating the paste or glue. I never could work up the nerve to do that either.
In fourth grade, Jerome Smith ate three jars of paste. He felt ill. He sat there, looking worse each passing moment.
Looking as white as the paste he ate, he then rose and walked toward Mrs. Gran's desk.
She looked up just in time to see the three jars of paste return to the viewable world accompanied by a horrible, wracking, guttural squawk from the throat of a wild-eyed Jerome.
The sheer volume of the deposit left on the desk of one of our most beloved elementary teachers was the cause of discussion for years after.
Oh my! How awful!! Poor little guy!
What about the teacher? Yuck! There was a kid in my elementary school that ate my crayons. Years later he still smelled like Crayola to me. :biggrin:
Jerome was a bit of a gastronomic celebrity at our little elementary school out in the country.
I won't disturb you with additional tales of exactly what he ate, or the sheer volume of the consumption, but let us suffice to say that it was horrifyingly prodigious.
OMG "gastronomic celebrity" is the most hilarious label I've seen used for someone....ever (I think) :biggrin: :biggrin:
Please do share though, he sounds like quite a treat. LOL

Yeah. I was reminded of this incident years later, when the hurling came across my desk at one of my earliest teaching jobs in a seventh-grade classroom.
The student hadn't eaten anything unusual, just had a severe stomach upset.
Apparently my desk was the most appealing place to display his illness.
Wish that he'd chosen the waste basket.
If that would have been me, I would have probably joined in the yakking fest. I can't handle seeing someone get sick. :sick2:
We all have defining moments in our lives that make us realize that we're in the "right place" and sometimes it's something like FTW described that makes it clear. When my daughter was an infant, she got a virus that the doctor said, "it just needs to run it's course". Well, it "ran it's course" all over the front of me...several times, but I wasn't phased and I don't think I even flinched. I wiped off, changed shirts and picked her right back up. I'd do it again today. I love being a mom.
(sorry to get serious on y'all there...that thought just struck me)
Apparently you aren't alone in the symbiotic hurling response, cachegurl
Without expounding in too much detail (lest the yakking begin again at various locations this forum reaches), I can safely say that it was a little like dropping a single ping-pong ball into a roomful of mousetraps loaded with them.
Obligatory spewing came and went in all directions.
Lunch spaghetti was reviewed over and over again, in all its saucy glory.
The janitor had to use a hand truck to haul up the 55 gallon drum of pink absorbent granules to dispose of the lost pasta.
Now, ironically enough, I didn't have a problem with my child throwing up...well, most of the time. It's seeing other people that I don't know that gets me. I would never make it as a contestant on Fear Factor...I can bearly watch them yak on TV and they don't even show that much of it. ;D
During this fitness challenge, how in the world can anyone sleep through the night after all this water?????? :thinking2:
And I thought I was the only one with that problem!! :yes:
:no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: four and five times a night. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:
about 4 here too...lol
This is one time I can say......I'm full of it.
;D
I woke up really uneasy this morning, and I just can't shake it. Ugh!!
i am going to haunt ppl after i die... rest in eternal piece! HA! i can't even sleep now.... i don't see how it'll be any easier after death.
i need 2,150 1 Watt 2 Ohm Cemented Wirewound Resistors NOW!
Have a good evening guys. I'm off to spend my evening with my husband and kids. Can you tell I'm not in a BIIIIIG hurry to leave the office? It's quiet, and I borrowed this extra half hour here to unwind, off the clock.
It's great to challenge yourself to be disciplined..and win!

Someone actually got killed not too far from our house the other day. A hummer blew through a stop sign (according to the Herald Bulletin,anyway) and flipped a car on top of another car. Right next to an elementary school. Isn't that lovely?
People need to be more careful.

Umm, I just found an insured while doing my audit that has been renting the same residence since 1983. I can't imagine renting a place for 23 years. Hell, they could've paid it off by now! LOL
Wow! That's a long time to rent!
Well now I'm really confused. The policy inception date was 1983 but the dwelling was built in 1995. I guess they moved and kept the same policy? I thought they always had to be rewritten because if its in a different location, the risk could be different? Oh well. That's the old agent we took these over from for ya.
That's the way we do the renters policies here. They keep the same policy number if they move and it will be the same type of policy. We just re-evaluate it according to territory, etc. Now if they have a homeowners policy then buy a different house, those have to be re-written.
My old company we had to rewrite them. I haven't come across that here yet. Maybe its the same. Oh well...old habits die hard.
Okay, that'll be enough work talk thank you very much! :biggrin:
How can you type and pee at the same time Daisy? :spooked:

Let it go.....just release all the yearings and "what ifs" and "what would have happened if..." let them go.....and move on......and on to a better you...with new adventures you would not gain if you did not grow inside you through wisdom, reflection, pain and challenges.....grow on with your badself...LOL!!!! and enjoy the new adventures which are blowing in with this fall wind....new encounters and loves and laughs and tears and growth...blowing in with the Halloween wind...these fall winds....and this winter approaching end of the year.... :hal3:
How pretty!!!!!! :smile:
This rain better quit, trick or treat is not far away. I want those little gobblins to be able to come by.
It's so cute to see their eyes...wide open as we grab a big handful of candy and stuff it in their bags..even mom and dad smile...it's the first of the holidays...the giving of candy to children holidays...the smiles and laughter...and Charlie frightened some hispanic children from the porch and I called them and their parents with a box of candy...and the youngest, they were all in costumes looked at Charlie looking at him through the glass door and said "Grrr". And the mother and I laughed so hard...it was funny...and a moment...and we connected...and the children was precious...and it was joy and fun and laughter and candy and celebrations......
The beginning of the holidays...the joys...hope I can keep it in my heart....another one spent without my son....
More holidays coming up. It will be harder this year with no family close. I wish I could sleep for 2 months.

I can relate...only most of my relatives are gone for good. :(
There are more churches in Las Vegas than casinos. During Sunday services at
the offertory, some worshippers contribute casino chips as opposed to cash.
Some are sharing their winnings - some are hoping to win. Since they get
chips from so many different casinos, and they are worth money, the Catholic
churches are required to send all the chips into the diocese for sorting.
Once sorted into the respective casino chips, one junior priest takes the
chips and makes the rounds to the casinos turning chips into cash. And he is
known as .......
The Chip Monk
On no-meat Fridays, does he eat lunch prepared by the Fish Friar?
Hubby's business partner called and said he'd found a flaw in the system that had forced them to split ways and he'd exploited the flaw, gaining the ability to bring Hubby back into their contract....
He's on his way home from Milwaukee right now!!! :smitten:
That's AWESOME NEWS, Daisy!!!! :clap:
Happy for YOU, girl!!!!

Goo Goo Barabajagal.
<pin drop> I have the whole night to myself & nothing to do...
It's only 8:37 but it feels like 2:00am!
Yep it does...hubby woke me up at 5am this morning getting ready for work. :(
Right now I have a green face (mud mask).
'Don't make me angry, it will wrinkle my face!'
Good to see ya, Greenie! :biggrin:
;)
Thanks, I've had an eventful weekend and I finally screwed my head on right; I think.
:D
It"s not easy being green. :biggrin:

I saw my very first love last night. . . Man, he's hot!
LOLOLOL
awwww..... :smitten:
Yes, it was wierd seeing him. . . He's such a sweetheart too and could be a Brad Pitt look alike!! Best part, he's divorced too!
;) He did ask about a real live date but I doubt anything will come of it. . . Hell, that was near 20 years ago, I'm definately not the same person but it's a fun thought for the time being.
;)
Hey, you never know, girl. Don't tempt fate...there's a reason you saw him.
I'm dizzy from pacing around while on the phone. Seriously, I've been walking in circles for the past 30 minutes.
Hey youuuu guys!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey what? Man, I'm sleepy...I stayed up too late watching that dang Colts games last night! :sleeping:
8-0 BABY!!!! :clap:
Yeah and my dumb ass drank a whole pot of coffee this morning. I never do that. I'm still wired. I cant sit still.
Things are soooo close to either getting greatly better or desperately worse. Just is a matter of hours in a day at this point. I can't take it much more!! Auuugh!
(Note: I will be out of my financial situation in 2 days if things go smoothly. If they don't I will probably be in divorce court. LOL)

Still got my fingers crossed and I'm hoping things go well, because they're starting to cramp. :icon_twisted: :smile:
LOL So are mine!!
Okay so this is weird. I opened realplayer, okay not me, my son did, and there were music tracks pulled up, so I started clicking to see what it was, and it was the track list to the very first cd I ever made for Aaron. Over five years ago before we got married. And I have no idea what happened to that CD and I don't remember saving the playlist, and if I did, I haven't played it for just as long, and don't know why that would be the first thing on the screen!
I hope everyone went out a voted!!!!! :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
Sunny, I just heard there is a tornado in orlando.......Are you OK??????????????
Yep. Voted @ 8:00 this morning.
I voted at 1pm. I wish more in my age group would vote! By the looks of things today, everyone over 60 is making the choices around here!
I know you ain't gonna believe this, Bratalie.
BUT those are exactly the same words I said the day after I voted.
I voted after work. I expected it to be crowded but it wasn't.
Oh an btw I checked MSN main page before logging in and I'm happy Britany finally dumped that deadbeat Kevin. :rolleyes:
Now, I have y'all real concerned who I voted for don't I? :razz:
Two kids later...who'll be next? David Letterman? Badump bump! :biggrin:
Actually, there was also something on MSN about Chris Rock and divorce too.
Now there's a match made in heaven:
Chris Rock and Brittany Spears.
Oh!
I was referring to this:

I can't stand that poor excuse for a person.
Britany or Kevin? :biggrin:
Kevin. She could do so much better.
Well, all I can say about that situation is my life hasn't changed because of it, so I don't really give a rat's arse! LOL
we are putting Brittany Spears on the hate list,
We are putting Kevin on the available list.
Kid Rock is on the hottie list,
And David Letterman is on the "There is a girl behind me, honey I didnt look, I swear", list
What about Faith?
The spoiled, dumb, bitch list. :biggrin:
Well if Faith is on that list ya gotta put Paris Hilton there too!
Yep 'lullah, gotta put her there too!
Dammit, I can't find the title for my beater car. It is not in the car because NOTHING is in that car because its in storage. I had the title out a couple months ago, and someone has moved it out of my office! GRRR
Thanks for the reminder! I have to dig all of those things up to get our places & driver licenses changed. UGH.
Oh I bet that is fun! I just got new plates last week. Well on the Honda. Not the Mitsubeater.
I really need to start reading what I type on here. That was supposed to say PLATES. Glad you figured it out. :wink:
LOL Yeah, I figured that was what you meant!
I know it's for security purposes...but it's amazing what a person has to go through when they move...especially out of state.
And I can't imagine that. I've never lived outside of Indiana. Not by choice, but...
You're not missing anything on that accord. It cost us over $200 to register our plates when we moved to FL...and we had to write to our financing company on the vehicle that we didn't own at that time...blah blah blah. It was crazy!
At least it's only about $40 in PA...but you still have to produce your birth certificate, passport, miltary id - proof of residency (e.g. utility bill) - pretty much everything but your bloodtype for your license!
Okay, so I had to come back & put this in writing.
No sooner did I log out & start to pack my computer desk, when my Marriage License/Passport/Birth Certificate came flying out from behind one of the drawers!!!
That was my biggest concern in moving (not being able to find those docs!)! :clap:
Must be as Palehorse use to say, your spirit guides looking out for you! :eek:

that photo reminds me of the contruction worker i abused this morning. lol... that'll teach him to make filthy dirty cat calls at me.... ;)
That is so disappointing.
He was making fetching noises at me, too.
lmfao @ wolfie....
(when he was done with all the cat calls i said, "has that actually ever gotten you laid? is it working for ya?" )
my daughter is having a bad day.
She went to Subway to get dinner for her and her brother.
Yesterday.
She used her debit card.
They charged her $169.92 for two subs.
She is pissed.
Seems when they lowered the fat content, they really increased their prices.
I'd be irritated too.
I have 57 minutes that I HAVE to stay awake. Someone entertain me. :biggrin:

Or, why buy the cow when the milk is free?
Hmmm, why am I up at 7AM on a Saturday morning? :-\
<Sunny had a similar thought> :biggrin:
Because none of us can sleep.
Because some of us have internal clocks that don't like to be reset come Saturday morning.
Because we couldn't wait to see what was last said on the forum!!
Because of everything ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ she said! :biggrin:
Well it's not just the forum that I jump on first thing in the morning. I have a couple of matchmaking sites I like to look at. Can't do anything more than look though, I'm not paying money to meet anyone!! But I gotta admit, some of the guys that are paying to meet women sure do please the eye in their photos. I like to start off my day seeing which ones of them are trying so hard to contact me. LOL, I can't reply to any of them though. Probably better off that way, might be a stalker in the bunch.

Starting tomorrow I am not going to have much time to hang around as much as I have for the past 5 months. So I am going to go ahead and say.....I'm sorry if I miss replying or am not able to comment on someones wonderful post.

FCM, I'm going to miss your posts very much.
You are a very sweet person and I hope what you are doing is very fulfilling for you.
Please come back whenever you can and visit us.

Good luck on the new job, FCM!

Thanks to all you guys for the wonderful wishes. :smitten:.........I'll be dancing in as often as I can. :yes:
FCM? What is going on? I haven't had a chance to keep up with the board for the past couple of weeks (that well anyway).
She got a new job so she's going to be busier and not around as much.
How dare you be busy, Brat! LOL! :icon_twisted:
Good luck today, FCM!!!
Thanks guy's, I love the new job, i'm even looking forward to getting there today. After 5 months off, yesterday really kicked my arse. :yes:
You have such a positive attitude. I know they're lovin' you too! :yes:
LOL @ Sunny; sorry, I won't be busy ever again. Ok, I lie! Between my homework and my sons' homework, I can barely keep up with laundry!

Ok, I have had a book thrown halfway across the room today and an ink pen that came within a few inches of my head when my boss threw it out of frustration. What next?? Anyone got a helmet I can borrow? :rant:
What's his problem? LOL
Our customers that have decided to voice their displeasure this morning and other problems that have shown up, the company not doing things his way, ....those are just starters....Today is a day from hell!
Ugh...no fun!
The only good thing right now is I'm safe for another couple of hours. He's at lunch, then I take lunch....so at least no ducking until 2. ;D
Hmm perhaps the ducking could be an inspiration to the next challenge for weight loss? LOL
OMG, Cache...I'd be half-tempted to walk right out of there if someone was throwing things at me. Tell him you'll be back tomorrow when he cools off. :icon_evil:
I don't wanna tell him that though...tomorrow is my day off.....hehe ;D
He wasn't actually throwing it AT me, it just kinda bounced that way. He apologized, but I told him to warn me next time so I could duck from his bad aim....lol
Still...sounds like he needs to go to anger management classes. LOL!
LOL with the day that we have had so far, we may both need them before the day is over.....he may be ducking here soon. :rant:
I'm sure you'll warn him at least. :icon_twisted:
lol maybe.....or at least hope my aim is as good as his was.. ;D
Splitting up the areas makes it easier to play and have discussions without having to search so much.
Thanks Admin.......Good Job. :yes:
*sigh* :-\
To what are we sighing?
:rant:
Someone is in a bad mood suddenly. ranting here and rolling her eyes at my toodles and giggles over there. tsk tsk tsk...that walk on the beach was supposed to make you happy, woman!!
It did. Then I came home. :no:
Bummer :(
Firetrucks are working overtime in Fishers, Indiana today! Jeez.
I love fire restoration company reps.....I just got a whole pecan pie to take home from one of them. My family is gonna love this! :yes:
Oh man! I miss that about Pendleton. I don't know if anyone around here will do that.
Last year at Christmas, I had so many bags of candy and cookies from all of the glass replacement companies. It was great. Oh and one of them even gave me a gift card. Dang it, someone else is going to get my gifts!!
We've got one glass company that brings in Cinnamon Crunch bagels from Panera Bread every month. Man, I love seeing them walk through the door... ;D
Send them my way!
I'm actually surprised they don't come in there too....the company has an office in Indy.
Hmm
Please share with me.
Anyone ever hear about the Free Land deal in Kansas? They give you the land as long as you start new home construction on the land w/in 6 months and have it completed in one year. This is tempting...

I'm gonna be wishing I had a buck for every wind damage claim I turn in today. Geez this is crazy! :yes:
Really? I've had ZERO so far.
I've had 3 just in the past 10 minutes, not sure of the total count since 8:30 this morning.
Yikes, really?? Wow. My phone has only rang once, and it was our DM calling to see where Boss Man was today.
I'm about ready to take mine off the hook.... :mad:
All of ours so far have been homeowners claims....shingles blown off, tv antenna towers blown over, etc.
Where our office is located is right off of a grocery store parking lot. I've been sitting here watching out the window and have seen numerous shopping carts being blown across the parking lot and slamming into the sides of cars. I'm so surprised we haven't had any auto claims yet.
LOL No joke. Still not a single wind claim call. Just one billing issue.
How many times do you think you could listen to the DVD menu music on The Corpse Bride? I've been hearing it since about 8am this morning. I think I'll break the DVD now.
Ugh sounds like a good idea. We've done that a few times. I still can't stand the music from the Pearl Harbor DVD Menu!

yes, there was a Ferris Wheel in the 'Titanic'. When Rose was 'riding like a man' on the beach, in the back ground was a fair.

Well say something stupidly funny or something....I have to get up in front of a bunch of people and read the poem I wrote for my bosses retirement. I hate speaking in front of people...it makes me sick to my stomach...they are all executives!! Did I mention I really hate speaking to a crowd???
Read em this:
We know you are leaving but dont feel bad
You are the crappiest boss we've ever had.
Your wife is a cow,
Your daughter a sow.
Dont feel bad for us, just get out now!
( I made that up for you on the spot...) :computer:
Always have a change of underwear
Don't take any wooden nickles.
postal workers often speak slow and garbled.
Look both ways before you cross the street.
Don't bite your fingernails after you picked your nose.
The sharper is the berry, the sweeter is the wine
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all doing direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Wake-up!
I'll have a blue christmas without you. . . .
For about two days now, I have been trying to figure out what is the last thing on my mind. It's not an easy task because you have to think of all the first things on your mind, then the middle things on your mind, and then there's a lot of false hopes raised as you just think you're thinking of something else. For a while I thought it was "my sisters big toe," but then "ball peen hammer" occurred to me. I was about ready to write that down as the last thing on my mind when "foodelee-doodelee" struck me for some reason, and then in quick succession, "caraway seed," "twelve feet," and "dog pie." But then I realized how stupid I had been. The last thing on my mind was always, "The last thing on my mind." Every time I thought of something, I would check to see if it was "the last thing on my mind." So no matter what I thought of, it was always followed with, "the last thing on my mind." Therefore, according to the law of infinite regression, which says it is illegal for anything to repeat infinitely, the last thing on my mind is "the last thing on my mind."
Akin to "I know what I'm looking for is going to be in the last place I think to look". Because once you find it, why bother looking any more.
I'm pleased that you followed. :yes:
"Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."

I went back Wednesday and have work 11 hours a day to make up for missing! My man friend had the same thing Christmas day, Monday and he has been on vacation snice. Tomorrow I am having his whole family over for a belated christmas dinner. It was his turn this year, I said I would do the cooking. Well, guess what.......He has been on vacation all week, and I got off work at 5, been to two stores shopping for the food, made green bean casserole, hashbrown casserole, sweetpotato casserole,oyster casserole, deviled eggs, 2 pies, slaw, and have a turkey in baking. I have scrub the bathroom, sweep and moped floors, dusted and vaccumed the whole house..................So am I allowed to kill his lazy ass and get off with it??????????

Thank You very much.

Why do people believe that it is perfectly acceptable to come in 3-4 minutes late most days, come back from lunch 5 - 10 minutes late at least twice a week? Three of them are going to be rudely awakened this afternoon; and get the opportunity to sleep in each morning moving forward.

LOL You'd hate me. I never stoll in at the same time every day. I haven't had to in years! Conseco was horrible about that. I remember getting it counted against me when I'd been in a wreck on the way to work. Like I knew I was going to be rearended and should have left 10 minutes sooner. Grr. Heck, it was even counted against my attendance there when I WENT INTO LABOR shortly before lunch. I mean, COME ON!
Does it count if you are late when the boss is gone?
Kinda like the tree fell with no one in the woods...
PH you would go insane here we me.
We dont even HAVE a schedule.
Lunch is if and when, come and go, just
git 'er' done, is all they care about.
And we do, and we never never never fudge, because we know they do right by us.
Assembly lines do not go well with flex-schedules. :redface:
It's kind like that where I work too damfast. My current supervisor knows that I'll make the time up either at the end of the day or from home, so she doesn't stress it. Her policy is that we're adults and are expected to give 80 every two weeks. She knows who does and who doesn't, but let's us manage our own time...for the most part.

About that job possibility. Tell me more...looks like there might be some openings.
Must be nice! :sneaky:
overlook me?
It's still a production oriented environment, but not an assembly line. We are required to get so much out of X out by Y and we have people waiting for us to complete our part so they can complete their part and meet their timelines, so sort of like an assembly ... but I can see where that might not work in your workplace.

what in the world does a person do with a cat that has decide to poo-poo right outside the liter box?

Seriously, if you ever find out please let me know! :icon_evil:
try more than one litter box if you have more than one cat... (our male would smack the smaller female out of the litter box in the middle of her "business" if he felt inclined to do so...)
Im going to give our cat a GIANT litter box; outside! :wink:
i keep threatening to send my cats to my brother stationed in afghanistan... now there's a lot of sand...
I should have sent ours while my son was over there! (I call both theatres of operations in the middle-east the "litter-box"!)
lol... interesting.... as soon as i saw litter box... i thought of "over there".... lolol....
I have 5 cats and 3 litter boxes. This cat was an abused cat and is kinnda crazy.. when I first got her, she would not use the box so I moved a box to where she wanted it to be,that worked for 2 years. I dont want to put her outside as I live in high traffic area, but I can't have poopie on my floor... sigh
we traded our cat in for a newer less thinking outside the box cat. it was sad to get rid of her, but there are only so many times you want to find cat sh!t in the clean laundry.

Well, you'll be selling a few books next week-end. (Maybe this week-end if I can find some time). If I like them I might buy some for my grand-daughter. She cannot read yet (1 year old) but soon!
Could you PM me the info? My girls love to be read to...
Time for more soul searching.
Someone very special to me :smitten: has made a wonderful offer that will allow me to follow my heart and do something besides work 40 hours a week.
I've considered volunteering but what kind? I thought about at hospitals and reading to those that are sick or maybe at elementary schools helping younger ones who are struggling learn to read.... I just don't know what is next on my horizon, but it's going to be good regardless. :yes: :smile:
You might try working for a shelter for abused women / children. They are overwhelmed most weeks and welcome volunteers! I know of a couple of good ones if you find you are interested.

Thanks! That's the kind of thing that I am interested in. If I'm volunteering, I want it to be of value. I want to walk away know that I helped and made somebodies day just a little bit better. :yes:
Prevail in Hancock county is a good one.
www.prevailinc.com
I have a close personal friend that works there, and I can help hook you up if you'd like. (Noblesville)
I am sure there are a couple of Madison County entities as well. I can make some inquiries if you'd like.
E mail me and I'll send you some info and a name.
Great idea, PH!
Maybe also look into a "Children's hospital" if you have one there? (e.g. St. Joseph's, St. Jude's)...a burn unit?...leukemia patients?
If you can handle it. that would be a HUGE asset, BEG!
Also, senior citizen centers...many elderly folks would love to see your refreshing smile for a visit -- little BEG may even enjoy taking a little craft to decorate their door with, or something? We did that as a philanthropic sorority in high school.
if i could recommend one of the books from the link, PH, it would be A Cricket in the Thicket.

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a New England Patriots fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Pats fans, too. Not really knowing what a Pats fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands flew into the air.
There is, however, one exception. Susie has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Patriots fan" she reports.
"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"I'm a Indianapolis Colts fan," boasts the little girl. The teacher asks Susie why she is a Colts fan. "Well, my Dad and Mom are Colts fans, so I'm a Colts fan, too" she responds.
"That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?
Susie smiles and says, "Then I'd be a New England Patriots fan."
Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God
was showing him around.
They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots flag in the
window.
"Tom," said God. "This is very
special; not everyone gets a house up here."
Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the
porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story
mansion with a blue and white sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an
enormous Colts logo flag, and in every window, an Indianapolis Colts towel.
Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I
have a question. I was an all-pro QB who won the Super Bowl, and I even
went to the Hall of Fame."
God said "So what's your point Tom?"
"Well, why does Peyton Manning get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said: Tom, that's not Peyton's house, it's mine."

This is the central scruitinizer. . .The white zone is for loading and unloading only. If you have to unload, go to the white zone. . .
We could jam in Joe's garage; his momma was screamin' turn it down. We were playin' the same old songs. . .

What shall we do to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?
my cat sheds.
he must be shaved.
hold still kitty.
this won't hurt me a bit.
So, you have a shaved what?
you heard me. lol....
(on a more serious note, the male himalayan needs shaved to prevent matted fur... that he chews off and eats.)
there is nothing wrong with shaving cats. any cats, kitties, kittiens or... puss... you get the idea.
When I had him I brushed my himalayan daily to try to cut down on the hair balls. With all that fur they can get pretty bad and nasty if you step on them in the middle of the night. :sick2:
Try waxing...yeowwwww! :biggrin:
We have one long-haired black and white cat that likes to yak up hair balls on my side of the bed, right where I put my feet down when I get up.
I have invented curses that mankind has never heard before, just because of that cat.
i think i'd have to have the waxing done professionally... (too worried i'd ruin it for life... lol)
i hate furballs.... :(
I hate yakking them up.
yipes! you do that very often? :eek:
Only when I lick fur.
:smile:
lmfao... eww. lolol.... licking fur is wicked gross. lol....
gakkk.......aaaahuckkkk
What?

today was a snow day!
She sends me blue valentines
All the way from philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like there's
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin in my rearview mirror
And Im always on the run
Thats why I changed my name
And I didnt think youd ever find me here
where is that from bo? i like it.
Tom Waits - "Blue Valentine"
Been listening to him since the early 70's.
fascinating!
Glad you like it. Here's another one I have always liked....
"Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis"
Hey charlie Im pregnant
And living on the 9th street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Of euclid avenue
And I stopped takin dope
And I quit drinkin whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone
And works out at the track
And he says that he loves me
Even though its not his baby
And he says that hell raise him up
Like he would his own son
And he gave me a ring
That was worn by his mother
And he takes me out dancin
Every saturday night.
And hey charlie I think about you
Everytime I pass a fillin station
Om account of all the grease
You used to wear in your hair
And I still have that record
Of little anthony & the imperials
But someone stole my record player
Now how do you like that?
Hey charlie I almost went crazy
After mario got busted
So I went back to omaha to
Live with my folks
But everyone I used to know
Was either dead or in prison
So I came back to minneapolis
This time I think Im gonna stay.
Hey charlie I think Im happy
For the first time since my accident
And I wish I had all the money
That we used to spend on dope
Id buy me a used car lot
And I wouldnt sell any of em
Id just drive a different car
Every day, dependin on how
I feel
Hey charlie for chrissakes
Do you want to know the
Truth of it?
I dont have a husband
He dont play the trombone
And I need to borrow money
To pay this lawyer
And charlie, hey
Ill be eligible for parole
Come valentines day
! badass.
Just one more random comment.
it's snowing. again. :'(
Yeah. Here, too.
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow!"
The Horse and I did Zappa a while back. I'm into Tom Waits now.
My house is cold
i'm listening to a crazy variety right now...
(i hate shoveling the snow...)
The tappity-tap-tap of typing into the computer. :biggrin:
It's driving me insame. I am sitting in the "aquarium" (our pet name for our new office configuration) and there are three of us in here and everybody is typing something. :spooked:
"And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more." - E.A.Poe
i love the raven...
second snow this week... first monday, now today...
I see a lot of your schools are closed.
They don't do that over here; the favorite is a "two hour delay."
typo: snow day. you got it, though, wolfie...
yeah, i think everything in the county is shut down... we've got at least 2 feet of snow... i just shoveled to the drive way... lefty is achy, but there is more to shovel. (not to mention that i am freezing me arse off.)
" When it snows ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland"
:razz:
That's one of my favorite Christmas tunes, but I feel completely idotic singing it here. :rolleyes: :biggrin:
We're in between the snow bands, so it leaves us in that almost mud and slush during the day, and frozen tundra at night area. . . :rolleyes:
I think I'm gonna throw up...again.
Want a spoon? (You'll want to get every last drop) :biggrin:
I think I got it...I ended up just shoving my finger down my throat to speed up the process. That in itself is not an easy task, since I don't gag very easily, and I have to shove my entire hand in my mouth to get my finger far enough down to tapity tap tap my esophagus until I finally get some relief.
i'm not an easy gagger either... i hate throwing up... i haven't thrown up since... the last time i threw up. lol...
I hate it too, but I feel better now.
I remember in high school I would take those candy sour straw things that are about a foot long and I would stick them down my throat and pull them back out, for all to see that I could deep throat the candy. I always liked being the center of attention.
Okay, this puts everything into perspective.
Ugh.
And could someone please tell me how long it takes a coin to pass thru the system?
"the" system or "the system"?
if you swallow a penny, the return should be 2 days tops... or see the doctor.
as for the system... no clue, see a bank teller. lol...
what puts everything into perspective???? :confused:
a trip to another reality
A reality I could have lived without!
This conversation went "down the tubes" in a hurry!
If it hasn't passed in two days take the child to the doctor on the third. If it comes out in 1/2 cents, start worrying.
Good luck with that :biggrin:
step on a crack and break your mamma's back
HAPPY BLUE FRIDAY!!

Once upon a time.....
over 100 schools closed already (for tomorrow). damn.
...and they lived happily ever after.

Its f'ing cold here. It was negative five degrees when I woke up, with a "feels like" -23. Yikes!
I like to see women cold :yes:

Negative 15 in the windy city this morning. Felt that way in my house. . . :biggrin:

I got on 69 at 116th Street, or mile marker 5 at 2pm yesterday. I got off at the exit for SR 238, or mm 10.....at FIVE O'CLOCK! THEN I drove to Fortville, and it took me forever. It was 30 minutes from Ingalls to PHHS...After a quick stop at the bank, I picked up my children at my parents' in Edgewood at 7:30 pm. I was ready to kill someone.
But I did get to know quite a few people who were stuck on the interstate with me...yep, I'm one of those who gets out and walks around finding someone to talk to.

I didn't wanna keep hijacking the thread, but I used to be accused of talking fast. I don't think so anymore. My thing now is that I speak softly. Not because I'm shy anymore (used to be), but I tend to pick up another thought and trail off on what I was talking about. Bad habit.
Nite Heavy. :sleeping:
I love snow, when the moonlight strikes it just right and it twinkles, and when it sticks to the tree branches, and when it covers the rooftops. And it is pure and white, and cold so you can see your breath.
then some jerk comes along with the traffic report and ruins the illusion.
I hate snow, darned traffic, people cant drive, have to spend an hour digging out the car. Snowplow blocks me in, neighbor parks in my perfectly cleaned spot while I am at the store getting the milk and bread I should already have bought when I heard the weather prediction.

The white zone is for loading and unloading. If you have a load, please go to the white zone.
What if I'm picking up?
AHEM!
"The white zone is for loading and unloading. If you have a load, please go to the white zone."
So, I load and unload in the same zone?
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws that haven't been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be performing which could eventually lead to The Death Penalty (or affect your parent's credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things . . . and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC!
Our studies have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won't conflict with the Constitution (which, itself, is being modified in order to accomodate THE FUTURE).
I bring you now a special presentation to show what can happen to you if you choose a career in MUSIC . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only . . . if you have to load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . you'll love it . . . it's a way of life . . .
Hi, it's me, I'm back. This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only . . . if you gotta load or if you gotta unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . you'll love it . . . it's a way of life . . . that's right! You'll love it, it's a way of life, that's right, you'll love it, a way of life, right, love it . . . This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER
FZ -R.I.P.
Where do I go if I'm just thinking about loading or unloading?
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . Yes . . . he used to be a nice boy . . . He used to cut the grass . . . But now his mind is totally destroyed by music. He's so crazy now he even believes that people are writing articles and reviews about his imaginary guitar notes, and so, continuing to dwindle in the twilight realm of his own secret thoughts, he not only dreams imaginary guitar notes, but, to make matters worse, dreams imaginary vocal parts to a song about the imaginary journalistic profession . . .
The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only . . . if you gotta load or if you gotta unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . you'll love it . . . it's a way of life . . . that's right! You'll love it, it's a way of life, that's right, you'll love it, a way of life, right, love it . . . This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER
Uhhh, you didn't answer my question. :no:

Hey Daisy! How's it going? ;D
Its going...I'm sitting here on the couch trying to relax. Its been a nutty day.
I even opted and applied for a major career change. I'm going back to school to become a nurse.
How's your day been?
That's most excellent. Health care professionals are currently in high demand, and the demand for their services is expected to increase.
Good choice!
I know...I've been reading some scary statistics about doctors and nurses and how they are going to be severely short staffed in upcoming years. I want to focus on either pediatric nursing or MRI technology stuff...I think I prefer pediatric because then I can a CNA in 11 months, start working while continuing school and eventually work while going to school to become a pediatrician.
Looks like I'm going to return to the bartending scene this fall for a year, though.
Hey you gotta' do what cha' gotta' do. Sounds like you have a plan for the long haul though.
Yep...that's true. This morning I'm wondering what the heck I'm thinking! LOL
wow! good luck with that... (nursing was never my things... however.... becoming a doctor is something i have long wanted to pursue...)
Hannibal pointed me in similar direction in the Hey Martha forum...Ultrasounds. I am going to look into that, too, since I had considered Xray technology...and there are no bed pans involved--the only downside really that I could see from nursing.

i just found out why johnny karnoski and i stopped communicating. his last email was odd and a little too, "adios amiga".... sounded like farewell. he emailed me a pic of our class pic from 3rd grade or so.
i've been trying to find him again since 2003.
he died. a less than completely accidental drug overdose. we had THE SAME CHILDHOOD. i escaped mine, he never did. why, johnny? why?
Yikes. Not good! Sorry to hear that.

That is so sad, vxn. I'm sorry.
apparently my victim doesn't see why this upset me. afterall, i haven't seen johnny since i was 10...
i talked to him 2002... RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED. do you know what we talked about? our CHILDHOOD. i knew how bad he was hurting. i understood. he felt so alone. it is a very sad way for him to have died. we all die. but i've felt that pain and been very close to making it stop. (before i had kids)
just, wow.
sorry for the ramble/rant. i'm good now.
I think I understand.
Same feeling you get when somebody gets hit right next to you. If you had been standing 3 ft. to the left, it would have been you instead. Why?
No answer. It's how we deal with what we're dealt. **** happens.
All the time.
yeah. (and i never really realized how hard it was to survive all that...) i know he was in a lot of pain and he did what he needed to do to make it stop. there is no cure.
PM took a hit to the head, and I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him at the time it happened. I ended up wearing the contents of his skull all over my uniform. Why him and not me? Fate. :confused:
It was "his" time and perhaps his spirit chose that point in time as an exit from an already achieved life-plan, or a life-plan that was unachieveable?
Or maybe just a scientific fact. His head and a bullet could not occupy the same space at the same time.
Funny, though,......with all that space..........................

Just signed the first round of papers for the new house. The truth in lending and all that.
I know we added about $20k in upgrades, but my payment appears to have gone up quite a bit...yippee! Lefty's gonna love that one. :D
There goes the boat!
nahh...we'll start small. My parents had an 18' inboard/outboard that I used to drive on Wawassee several years ago. I'll start in that same ballpark and get used...gotta work my way up.
I had suggested some his/hers jet skis, but he's not wanting the boys to get left out. When does mama get some fun???
18' inboard/outboard is going to run you (depending uon manufacturer etc) somewhere around 20k and up. . . new. Now used, you might just be alright in the initial outlay of cash, but upkeep and repairs will eat you alive if you make a bad purchase. . .

I wish my parents hadn't sold their boat. It was a 1976 but it was in immaculate condition, had very low hours on the odometer or whatever, and was quite fast. My grandparents babied it. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a tri-hull, and would bang you to death if you were riding up front in the bow when the water was choppy.
Now where's that pot o gold you nasty leprechaun!

So why is it that I look up my soon to be new hometown on Microsoft Earth and the images are so outdated they don't have ANY of the neighborhoods on there that have been built in the past 4 years? In high growth areas like this, you would think they'd be somewhat current. I mean, it doesn't even look the same at all, since there are at least 5 developments that have gone up, along with 3 shopping centers, and all it shows is farmland. Sheesh. Time to update, folks!

It is difficult sometimes. I agree. :yes:
i'm quite tired today. still filthy, though.
I'll second the tired comment. My little one has developed her daddy's aversion to sleep. So, she comes and gets me up about 5 times a night. That, coupled with really not sleeping very well anyway, is making me drrrrooooowwwwwsssyyyyyy.
i am so tired. the youngest plans on a walk to the dollar store (2 miles round trip)... i'm not sure i can do it... but i'll give it a go... (and it'll cost $6 to take a cab home.)
always wear clean underwear
indeed. you never know when you'll get hit by a bus... wouldn't want the paramedics to see filthy skivvies....

On second thought, hold that.
A bus would call for a full-blown evacuation. I'd even spit -- if I had the time.
:eek: :biggrin: :biggrin:
i am laughing so hard, i'm gonna have to call an ambulance. (they always send the fire dept. too... hooray for firemen.)
And as a fireman/paramedic, let me say Hooray! for hotties calling us!
my grandfather was once going to call the fire dept. because i climbed up on my roof and couldn't climb down. it took hours for me to get down. lol.... (i can climb up for hours tap dance on the edge, but not climb down a ladder).
Firefighting may be out as a career choice. Ladders are mandatory.
my father waited until i climbed 15 or so feet down to the ground and shoved it over with me on it (i was 6). hated them ever since.
Yeah, that's no good.
the ground was soft. didn't really hurt too bad... just didn't want to do it again.
i love climbing up. lol...
We had a class where you learned to go down head first (for extreme emergencies, obviously). And one where you start out head first and then flip over. Not especially easy in gear, gloves, helmet and air-pack. My butt would have to be on fire before I gave that a shot in real-life!
hahaha... i'd pay good money to see that. :icon_twisted:
Can't find the joke thread so I'll drop this here......
Irish Gas Station
Taking a wee break from the golf course, Tiger Woods drives his new Mercedes into an Irish gas station. An attendant greets him in typical Irish manner, unaware who the golf pro is... "Top o' the mornin to ya".
As Tiger gets out of the car, two tees fall out of his pocket. "So what are those things, laddie?" asks the attendant.
"They're called tees," replies Tiger.
"And what wouldya be usin 'em for, now?" inquires the Irishman.
"Well, they're for resting my balls on when I drive," replies Tiger.
"Aw, Jaysus, Mary an' Joseph!" exclaims the Irish attendant."Those fellas at Mercedes think of everything."
hahahaha.... terrible! love it! lol....
time for some photos... camera set up and hair will prolly be the hard parts... and make up... wear a little wear a lot? will these end up black and white or color... or antique.....

or somethng that resembles one. (i cannot smile. i tried today. visual aid in the dark room.)
can't smile today, or can't smile in general?
i just don't do it when i need to... (for these d@mn pix...)
You need a coach?
i think i might. lol...
Better living through chemistry. . . :biggrin:
lmfao...
then i'd have to admit there's an actual problem...
Take a straight and stronger course, to the corners of your life. . .
like the sands through an hour glass..these are the days of our lives...
Make the white queen run so fast, she hasn't got time to make you a wife. . .
i walked over 7 miles last week. 2 days, i didn't walk at all. (except for running beasties to school... 3/4 of a block one way).
That is outstanding vxn. I need to get myself motivated and get this heart pumping. Any exercise would be beneficial.
I agree w/FSU, vxn :yes:
Guys, I have my fitness challenge thread...we could motivate each other. :yes:
I walk 12 blocks most days (I ride the trolley once or twice a month) and all during my 1/2 hour lunch break. I need someone to motivate me to move once I get home from work. :smile:
Exercise is a great way to unwind, but I like the Zone better. LOL
Do you live in San Francisco Mo? Same here on the moving after I get off work. Nearly impossible.
Nope, San Diego. That could be a great slogan for the Zone. I should submit it somewhere...
The Zone: More fun than exercise. :biggrin:
(okay kinda lame)
Not a bad idea.
thank you...
i usually walk no less than 2 miles a day... we have the Western Reserve Greenway Trail that cuts 25 miles through the county--we walk 6 miles those days. and now i know i can walk to the local dairy queen (1.5 miles one way) i can walk the kids there regularly for lemonade...
as soon as the kidneys are better maintained (after the upcoming torture) i'll also be on the blowflex 1.5 hours a day and adding yoga back in. working out brings me joy...
These temps are great here, but my allergies are going overboard!!
I take the pooch out for a walk, breathe in the toxic remnants of chemical, roofing, and timber smouldering in the air, and look up to see my old friend Orion looking down upon me. He has been there since well before I was but a child, and hunting the skies he is still. . . Great to see you old friend, but alas your time here is nearly spent this season. Grandpa introduced me to you as a babe of 2 or 3 years of age. I still remember it, and remember to greet you each morning and night when you are here.
Soon you will be on to more southern portions of the skies, and by the end of April I shall bid you farewell until November brings you back to herald in the season of my birth once again!
Give Canis Major and Canis Minor a pat on the head for me, and tell them I shall miss them greatley on their way, We shall have a feast in your honor within a week or two, and yet another upon your successful return.
Cinch the three Kings tightly so that you do not lose your sword in your travels. . . And I shall await the moment in November when your return brings forth the hunter within myself. A time for killing, a time for feeding, a time for family and friends to gather round the hearth and restore our very souls; in preparation for father winters worst, when the winds of Thor blow coldest.
Your departure beckons the flowers of spring, the leaves in the trees, the animals of the forest to move forth, just as your arrival requires their procreation and withdrawl in November. Safe travels my dear friend Orion. See you again real soon!
that's beautiful, PH.
Why thank you oh dark one! :smile:

no one can say their ex is an expletive with as much conviction as i can. reprehensibile in absolute. it will take everything in me not to punch him in the mouth when he comes over on friday. what he has done will hurt for the rest of my life. even my current victim remarked, "d@mn. i know you and i know better. never would have gone there, nope."
oh how easily the rage envelopes... if it weren't 30 or 40 degrees, i'd walk it off.
speaking of the weather... it was 80 yesterday.
hooray for ADHD.
X's are ex's for a reason. And every time they pull some crap it just serves to validate our decision. Find comfort in the fact you made a wise choice, and wallow in its warmth. Smile at him, it takes less effort and will serve to frustrate him more than if you had hauled off and pimp slapped him. . . :yes: (And lasts longer too!) :wink:

You got that right.
GREAT TITS......
I was cleaning up after dinner last night and the TV was on in the other room. I had on Animal Planet, but I heard the announcer talking about Great Tits. I nearly fell trying to get to the TV to see what he was talking about.

I can give medicine for the nausea part. Come to think of it, I can give medicine for the grumpy part, too!
he's making me drink oral contrast tomorrow for a CAT scan. (tomorrow... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) i can handle the IV contrast... but i can't drink things that are not pleasant. not a gagger... but i will be a puker tomorrow... (i've felt sickly for a few days straight now...)
well get over here, fireguy. :-[ i'm both. (if by grumpy you mean p!st)
I can do IVs, too, if that helps.... :)
(forgot to clarify, biscuits are his.. uh... well... you know...)
no one's ever done my IV right. well, maybe once. i had a nurse try 7 times once before she gave up.
The hospital where I did my training had a limit of 2 tries, and then you were out.
I can't imagine you'd be that tough. I would think they stand right up and say "poke me."
no, my viens look great, but they have stage fright. (they always run the needle clean through to the other side...)
i'd still rather chance bad IVs than drink contrast...
sounds like bad technique...
yup. and most of them have really crappy attitudes (just the kinda ppl you want poking you with a sharp object...).
Yes. You clearly need me.
lol.. come on over... :o
Oh my. I'm gonna need some mapquest help, I feel...
probably. i think my city has the third biggest harbor in the country. just get on a boat. lol...

i better find my lucky going-to-the-hospital-for-torture skivvies to wear tomorrow... i really don't want to drink that cr@p.
Looks like a 357 mile drive. I better leave now. Get your skivvies in place, I'll be there in a few hours.
that's pretty far. bring your lucky pair, too... i need all the help i can get.
I take my lucky pair everywhere I go.
lmfao... omg. lol...
oh, boy...
mind in the gutter.
what are the hospital skivvies? out of curiosity...
royal blue bikini. covers what the hospital gowns don't. lol... i can't think of a time i wore them that i wasn't at the hospital.
wow, scrub skivvies. Interesting.
lol...
i also wear a fresh new pair of hanes ankle socks.
i have strange habits.
I'm sure they appreciate your thoughtfulness. I was just happy in the ER if the person had bathed sometime in the previous days....
eww. there are a lot of tragically unwashed ppl around here. i can't go more than 24 hours... there are days i've taken 2 showers. cannot be dirty. well, i can, but not in a cleanliness way...
lol (in a cleanliness way)
The ER was a great place to see the dregs of humanity wonder in and out. I remember a crackhead who was passed out in one of the beds when I got there one morning. This guy had HIV and HepB, and was "selling his services" to other men to buy crack. 25 years old. Nice.
wow.
i was in the ER a few months back, early evening on a friday...
within hours there were ppl coming in "needing" painkillers... "oh, i fell." "i twisted my back." all sorts of excuses... while i sat there declining morphine, i overheard a girl say "geez, i'll take it."
the best is when they tell you which one works. "Morphine won't work, and fentanyl won't work, but dilaudid does the trick." Uh-huh. Here's some torodal. Enjoy.
i'm supposed to be allergic to torodol... but i don't know if i believe that...
morphine gives me migraines when it's wearing off... and cotton mouth to beat all hell.
it's never been the pain that's bothered me. it's the fact that there's something wrong with me.
torodal is just a big NSAID. If you can take ibuprofen, I'd think you can take torodal.
Morphine makes lot's of people sick. It could give headaches because it causes vasodilation, kind of like nitro gives a headache.
(allergic to NSAIDs)
painkillers are just a bandaid... fix it and the pain stops.
Sometimes, but.... The vasodilation of morphine can help patients having a heart attack by allowing blood past a partial blockage and reduce the demands on the heart by doing away with the sympathetic pain response, which ups BP and makes the heart work harder. It can also help patients with pulmonary edema by allowing some of the fluid out of the lungs and back into the vasculature. Some narcotics have multiple actions, not just pain relief.
they are good in that sense--the other uses. as painkillers, i don't really believe in them. (there is a RX addict or two in my family...) i'd rather suffer than turn into that.
I agree. I think the only time I've used pain medicine is after knee surgery, and only to get some sleep. Never during the day. I'd rather be awake and hurting then to have that disconnected feeling that painkillers give.
me too...
i only took the painkillers right after surgeries... no more than 2 days. i kept telling myself, "at least i can feel it--pain is better than numb."
I wonder which one was the magical 100,000th post
i never could have made that post without your help. lol... i'd also like to thank the academy....
finally! some acknowledgment around here! lol
about pain killers. I need them. damn teeth. I settle for Aleve, or 'like' Aleve. Can you get addicted to those? The only difference I ever feel is the pain dissipates.
i think that a lot of addiction is psychological... aleve aren't anything that major, i think you'll be ok taking those.
i had taken darvocet since i was 7 for knee surgeries and it was all over the tv that ppl were addicted to them. i never was.
(mouth pain is THE worst kind... )
Yep, I'd rather give birth again.

And excessive Morphine (or any substance for that matter, I suppose) - can stop the heart all together, huh?
When my mother was in her last hours, the Morphine drip seemed to do the trick...
Excessive morphine will slow the respiratory rate. Everything else follows.
Give me morphine, my breathing is about to cause me to hyperventilate.
well, stop doing that.
Hyperventilation will cure itself. If it gets bad enough, you just pass out. And then it returns to normal.
Nice thought, if I pass out, one of my kids will undoubtedly call 911, for nothing. LOL
Maybe you'll meet the hot fireman of your dreams. Always look for the silver lining...
The hot 'man' I'm looking for is NOT a fireman. But, buddy, he is on fire. :biggrin:
I had a dream about him yesterday, he was out of my reach. Hmmph, the story of my life.
to work out or not to work out, that is the question...
no food since 7 last night... and none till after 3 this afternoon... (no water either...) but, if i work out i won't be hungry anymore... (at least not for the next couple hours... then i get the munchies like a beast.)
I think working out and not drinking any water sounds like a recipe for dehydration
it was, but it was alright. motivated me to drink 2 glasses of the nastiest substance on earth for my CAT scan.
and i drank 6 bottles of water when i got home.

When do you find out the results?
may 11th.
i'm still laying there in my skivves and the radiologist came in and started asking me questions... do i have pain in this area, have i noticed swelling in that area... etc. i asked why and he said my doctor will want to talk to me. that was a real reassuring conversation. (i wish they would have let me look at the CAT scan images... i don't know a whole hell of a lot, but i know enough--i know what normal should look like.)
(awol, i have lived through some pretty crappy stuff, i don't want to think that there will ever be worse days than the ones that have already passed...)
sorry about that.
whenever anyone relates an experience as one of their "top 10" anything, i can't help but get competative about it. (even if i don't relate my "top 10")
barium enema doesn't make my top 10 worst days.
fortunately, i didn't have to have one of those.
my partial list of worst days... not in order:
the day my grandfather died
the day he was hit by a car (that led to said death)
the day of my parent's motorcycle accident
the day my father dislocated and broke my shoulder
going into labor 10 weeks prematurely
the day my father broke my collar bone
the day i had to put my dog and best friend of 8 years to sleep
the day a car accident broke my face in 4 or 5 places
yeah, still room for yesterday.
pretty rough.
mine start with a day i was three...
my mother was taken away from me. she was deemed a danger, and institutionalized. later diagnosed with schizophrenia.
she's had several breakdowns since then. usually when they adjust her meds. they always suck.
i had a dog too. eventually, that dog was blind, lame, and sick with age. she lived longer, but died more brutally. we couldn't afford to euthanize her. didn't own a gun. so my father smashed her skull with a ball peen hammer. it took several blows before she stopped twitching.
i left home and struck out on my own before i had any saleable skills. as a result, i spent many nights sleeping in alleys, and diving in dumpsters for food. any one of those was pretty bad...
i had a pretty bad meth addiction at one time. i can remember one day in particular. i hadn't eaten in over 15 days. i hadn't slept in over 7. i was looking at a line of crank and thinking "this'll kill me or put me to sleep. i don't care which." that was a bad day.
i was rock climbing and fell 30'. took a rock in the middle of my back. spent the next 2 years in constant pain. therapy three times a week so that i could bend over again.
my big brother died when he was 29. it was 6 days before christmas. that sucked.
sorry to hear that.
our experiences make us stronger and contribute to who we are.
(my mother is not sane, but managed to evade institutionalization by fleeing the state with her 4 small kids. i raised us more than she did. ran around quoting the bible, swearing she was pregnant with the 12 apostles, talking to jesus--who walked around next to her. there are so many things i could say--but can't.)
drugs weren't my thing--alcohol was.
How come when we think we have had such a lot of bad experiences in our life, we fail to realize, there are people who have experienced worse. I've had many many bad days in my near 46 years. Lived a rough life, feel I've been made strong by it, and able to go through anything, yet can read these last two posts and know that whatever I've survived is not as bad as what I just read.
You two have come across as such good people, and I think it's because you have risen above and beyond the experiences that could have brought you to your knees.

yup yup.
on the other hand, the good days got better as i experienced more of life...
the day i bought my first brand new car. i qualified for 0 down, 0 percent interest. "you mean i just sign this, promise to pay, and you give me the keys???".
good day.
the day i got my degree. "you mean i just show this piece of paper to people, and they believe i know what i'm talking about???"
good day.
the day i got my new job title and business cards. (sounds like a small thing, but i'm proud of what i can do)
the day i got married. i was nervous as hell. near the point of throwing up. sweating bullets. then i saw her at the end of the aisle, and it all went away. i was calm, i was at peace. i knew that this lady was the end all be all, and i couldn't wait to start the rest of our lives together.
the day my son was born. complete, unconditional, all encompassing love. as if love were a warm blanket on a cold morning and i was wrapped in it.
most of the rest of my really good days have to do with my son.
the good days, oh there are plenty of those for me, too!
each day my grandfather told me i was strong
each day i woke up and my grandpa was there to be my friend, my parent, my hero
the day that each of my sons was born
every time they say i am the best mom ever
the day i moved in with my victim (he saved me--pregnant and sleeping the yard in a tent in october... freezing)
the day we moved into this house together
the day a local preschool program bought some of my books to share with other children
the day my preemie (with asperger's syndrome--a form of autism) learned to communicate with me
so many... most involve my children...
well let's see...
I was nearly 15 before I ever saw cable vision...
dad yelled at me when I threw a dart into a water hose in the basement..
my dog, when i was 8 years old, was gone for thee days...that sucked...
oh, and there was the Christmas, that my GI Joe with the kung fu grip was broken before I got it out of the box... :yes:
but, I grew up to be a better man because of it....... :yes:
ah....i'm not making light of you guys, I truely was blessed and very fortunate to have had the chldhood I had...
you guys ARE amazing that you turned out to be the good folks that you are, makes you wonder sometimes......I believe those times make you stronger and build so much charactor, if you are of the right mind to overcome those bad times...
Oh. . . . . . we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz!! We hear he is a wiz of wiz, if ever a wiz there was!
Good morning everyone :smile:

Guess you don't need anyone to tell you that you're a survivor.
But, I certainly respect you because of it.
I can definitely relate to the beginning of your list..
time to walk a few miles in the rain... (i need to walk, just happens to be raining... lol...) nothing is a better chaser for a work out than walking.... :smitten:
Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful life. ( as if I could ever be original, LOL)
no walk today... but i did save a bunch of money on my car insurance... (not really, but i did get to go to walmart...)
i did get a walk in last night... i walked a mile to the swedish pastry shop... and got donuts and breads and skorpers! (my son asked if skorpers are made with REAL sKorpions...) (its a sweet bread, sliced, sprinkled with sugar or cinnamon and sugar or nothing at all. then it is toasted. kinda like melba toast)
I was wondering what skorpers were. :smile:
And now it's 5:00pm...the time ~vxn~ has anxiously been waiting for. :smile:
my victim's daughter was particularly (and intentionally) difficult this weekend. this is the time he takes her home. she was good company friday evening... and there it went.
I am either too hot or too cold. Its driving me nuts
going through an early change?
Ugh, I hope not. That was my first thought, too. I don't think so; I think its the light bit of sunburn I have from yesterday's ballgame. I thought it was just on the back of my neck, but its my face that is holding all the heat, but I'm cool to the touch, and I don't want to not have my blanket on my lap.
I like my blanket on my lap. It's there now.
Mine too. I seldom sit around the house without it. Its just comfy there.
I turned on the A/C. Hopefully that'll help. Aaron did say he was hot, too
for Aaron, that's just wishful thinking :wink:
Heyyyyy! I think my hubby is schmokin' hot!
you said HE was saying he was hot..I was only referring to him. LOL
LOL but he is!
LOL, you will be relieved to know, I think he's an okay guy, but the Aaron I been looking at is so much hotter in my book. On FIRE hot.
But my Aaron is more fun
I wouldn't know LOL
I LOVE going to work late on Monday mornings.

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They dont go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Wont see them again till the fourth of july
I knew a lady who came from duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to claim them for their own
"Sewage Lard"
What is it, do I really want to know, and what is it doing in the food-chain? :spooked:
:eek:
I'll have a "pond-scum" burger with extra sewage lard please!
GAG! okay that ruined my appetite for the day.
No kidding! :spooked:
Help...I'm being hit on at the library.

Gee, it can't be because I'm hot?

UGH! We watched 'The Gladiator' last night. :eek: I hated it and I knew I would, but I watched it with him just so he's stop talking about it. It's too bloody! :knife:
Yup. . blood is a theme in that movie! :biggrin:
I hated it too.
Learning all kinds of stuff about my "neighbor." His gf cheated on him and is pregnant and doesn't know if its his. LMAO
Current or future? (Neighbor?)
Current--as in here at APL. Not really a neighbor. Just for the next 17 minutes until my time expires on here.

Exactly. I just couldn't bear the thought of never again eating a really well prepared steak (and by well-prepared I mean barely cooked). It's just tragic.

Oh, I think you misunderstand any implication here. I don't normally hate MEN, I hate certain men. Like ones who jerk my heart around, and ones that cop attitude every day when they wake up, and I've not had a chance to do anything to cause them to have attitude. Or the one that listens to his new wife and robs me of time with my itty bitty, just because he can. Heck, I am normally cheery until someone jacks with me.
I love most men. :biggrin:

Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
I have seen their information
On the lighter side of dumbness
I have heard the new statistics
And the stomping on the ground
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Waking up from my slumber
To misunderstand another
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hidden there for me
To give meaning to my day
Going down to the desert
To the dirty filthy desert
I'll be crawling through the sand
For at least a couple days
Going down to the desert
ther are things owrth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way.
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday

I'm starting to wonder
my deck is huge. been scraping paint FOR DAYS. tomorrow it will be painted (if it promises not to rain on it...)... then my screen gazebo goes up :smitten: can't wait!
I went through that whole deck stripping, re-staining thing last summer. It sucked, but the end result was well worth it.
My Ex is such an A$$!!! :mad:
I'd love to :box: or :chair: or maybe :rifle: him. :devil29:
They seem to turn into those after awhile. Been experiencing that myself for the past 3 months.
an ex is an ex for a reason.
(indeed, fireguy... this'll be the 3rd time we've painted the deck in the last six or so years... crappy paint or he didn't do it right... either way... a lot of work.)
going to do it right this time?? :wink:
i certainly hope so. :-\
i want to have some parties on it this summer... (it's 30 ft x 40 ft, perfect for inviting a few ppl over...)
And I'll be anxiously awaiting my invitation. :wink:
:yes: absolutely!
the internet connection at the library sucks.
. . .and not very well either! :wink: :biggrin:

It's from the American Pie movie... Mom I'd Like to F---
You did good BEG. LOL. What was the situation in the movie? Was the son or daughter wanting to F... someone? or was the son wanting to F... his Mom?
All the guys wanted to 'do' a certain mom and one of the guys actually DID! :yes:
LOL :biggrin:
Gotcha. Thanks BEG :yes:
Here's a pic of MILF in the movie.
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s283/nat3392/38m.jpg)
Am I being too impatient. It didn't show on the screen BEG
You know, I remember the movie and thinking that it was funny, but catching my teenage son's friend checking me out, creeped me out.
I'm a hugger. I've always been, but when I caught on that one of his friends was just trying to cop a feel my stomach turned.
I know they're just boys and I remember what a teenage boy was like (from the perspective of a teenage girl :biggrin: ), but being the mom and on the receiving end...is gross to me. I don't understand how women could be attracted to boys that young.
I'm like you vxn. I've always been interested in older men. I wanna learn..not teach. :biggrin:
i had enough of training guys my own age (can't even... eww... never dated anyone even a day younger than me). the older ones do tend to know what they're doing--and usually need no instruction. lol....
I have found older women to be the same ~vxn~ . I don't want to be a training facility :wink: Older is definitely better.
the biggest set back in my dating life was that i came pre-wired. no training or manual needed. boy, was i bored. i was fortunate to have found my current victim.
Never bored. Everyone of my ladies are different.
my momma always used to say "you're only as good as who you're with."
i make my own fun. never boring when ppl who know what they are doing get together.
Amen sister :yes: Say it again!!!
indeed, indeed.
Quote from: BEG on May 18, 2007, 08:34:36 AM
So you are a MILF? :eek:
Oh that NASTY word!!!! (abbreviation) I hate that. I get those 20 somethings on these friends sites sending me messages with that in there, I always reply back to them that I find it offensive. And then they either backtrack or leave me alone.
Now having said that, did I ever mention that Jason is only 29? LOL. But he was always respectful in what he said to me. I never felt like our conversations were backed up by him thinking like that. And now that he lives here, pfffft...I know he doesn't think like that. :rolleyes:
my kindergartner made a card for his little classmate. she was struck by a car and killed friday.
Dear Morgan,
I will miss you very much.
Love your friend,
Jaiden
he's been hysterical ever since, poor lad.
:( there are just no words
indeed.
i was doing ok until i read that. he even put in in an envelope for her.
Wow...I find that to be very healthy & healing. Kudos to your son, ~vxn~...
he is the sweetest, most sensitive child i have ever met.
Pat yourself on the back.
i watched Pacifier last night with Vin Deisel. OMG.
I am calling him for a date.
I will let you know how it goes.

no, i had on the shirt, he didnt.
and if they pay, we can split, since it is your idea.
LOL SUNNY!!!!!! You think like me! Love the play on words.
you dont have to help her, pariann
You always make me LOL, damfast.
And pariann...good minds think alike. :wink:

take that one and run, Sunny!
(and $3.00 a tail.)
:( I thought it was funny, damfast don't like me helping. :(
I saw 2 of Pariann's children Friday night. :biggrin: They look to be having a lot of fun! :yes:
Where? Where?? Were you at the town center? Were they on stage dancing? LOL

This is definitely a random(off the wall) comment. Sunny, I'm sure you've heard of the song Sunny... It has been recorded by many different artists, but the first one I heard it by was Bobby Hebb(SP?) Anyway here are the lyrics. I think they are good. If you've never heard the song, listen to it one day.
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and then it eased my pain
Now the dark days are gone and bright days are here
My Sunny once shined so sincere, Sunny once so true
I love you I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the truth that you let me see
Sunny thank you for the facts from A to Z
Somehow I was torn like a wind blown sail
Then our love was borned when you held my hand
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
I think I can hear the tune that goes along with that, FSU! It has very endearing song lyrics. The moniker, Sunny, thanks you very much for sharing that. I will have to look it up! :yes:

Ladies and gentlemen. I hope each of you have had the opportunity to view the "blue moon" that we are being graced with.
Once in a blue moon is NOW!
must have missed it...
today there is something strange going on. i feel it in a very creepy part of me. i do not like it.
Blue Moon!
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart

I know what you mean~vxn~. I sometimes get disgusted with my children and things I hear about them and things they do. But let me encourage you to concentrate on yourself and your behavior and life.
her behavior is further attestation that i am doing the right thing by doing the opposite. we (my sibs and i) learn that everything we ever thought was a lie. about her, about us, about everything. i do not want her near me or my children. do i think i am punishing her by keeping them away--no, i am preventing them from the harm of her actions.

besides, dearest guardian, you know why i cant sleep.
it finally rained and cooled the place off a bit.
That is so good to hear dear. I know I certainly enjoyed the rain here last weekend. It has been smokin' hot here today. Mid 90's.
i hate when it gets too hot... and it's always so humid.... i think tomorrow's high is only 71. that's more my style.
Me too vixen...But that is the price you have to pay here in Florida. I envy your 71 today. What state?
northeastern ohio. (winters are murder here... and then it gets too hot in the summer--i need a milder climate.)
I hear that San Diego is very near perfect. I've never been there though.

I hear that San Diego is very near perfect. I've never been there though.
I can speak to that. It is very near perfect here weather wise. If you look it up, you'll see that our annual temperature difference isn't extreme at all. We have a few humid days, but so few that last summer I can say that I remember two weeks, tops, that were sticky, but even then there was a breeze outside that kept things from being unbearable.
The downside to San Diego is that it never rains. Once in a while so we don't have the lush green look that you see in other places. It's not sparse like the desert, but the dirt is dry and sandy. We have a lot of Palm trees and the sunny days will get to you if you enjoy a nice rainy and melancholy day from time to time.
I love it here though. The positives far outweigh any negatives. Previous to living here, I loved in Baltimore and I know frigid winters and unbreathable summers. This is like paradise, weather-wise.
Boiled peanuts are mushy. Eww.
I'm going to be in NE Ohio sometime this summer, vxn. One of my best friends (who lives in a town that I cannot come up with the name, now, but its near Youngstown I THINK) is FINALLY engaged. I never thought she'd ever find a guy good enough for her pickiness!
i think niles is a town near there... trying to remember more... lol... i've only lived in NEohio for 18 years.
i was really picky to... and now i've been putting off a wedding for 7.5 years.
you know, there are plenty of fun things to do in ohio in the summer...
I actually like Ohio quite a bit. I have fond memories of going to Hocking Hills, Put In Bay, and we're planning to catch Trumpet in the Land in New Philadelphia this summer
sounds like fun...
i want to visit the town i grew up in (the one in pennsylvania, not ohio...) i want to see if my old house is still standing.
I drive by my childhood home everytime I visit my brothers or friends. Granted, its only 150 miles away, but hey!

I live in the Town where I grew up, and the house I lived in was still standing as of yesterday when I had Sunday dinner there with ma and pa and various other family members. In fact, I drove by there this morning on my way to the station, so as of 5:30am, it was still all good.

Wait until next year and buy a VW Jetta with a diesel engine. 62MPG! 8)
Really? I will pass that along.
We've been looking at Hybrids. 2008 is supposed to introduce a Toyota Sienna mini van Hybrid. I just said the Odyssey because, despite its not being hybrid, it still has decent gas mileage and I love it.
Yes really. The only reason they are not offered int he US this year is because they don't meet the stricter environmental standards. They have committed to meeting them by EOY or first of next year.

Jetta has a four door model and is quite roomy. If you see a vee-dub dealer have a gander at the gas models they are offering. But wait for the diesel. 62 MPG is very hard to beat. . . Even against the Hybrids! :yes:
Yeah that's no joke!
I looked at a Jetta back when we bought the Honda. The problem back then was that our incomes were low (about $55k combined) and Aaron's credit was a nightmare. Mine was better, but not good enough for their financing. Now its a different story, but I just haven't ventured down to a VW dealer.
I'm exhausted. I've been job hunting since 9:30 am. And some on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its tiring.

Don't get discouraged if it takes a little time for these folks to get back to you. They typically take anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks sometimes. . .
I know for sure they are looking to fill those administrator roles asap.
I'm telling yah, as soon as I get my truck paid off I am buying one of those Jetta diesels. I mean, you cannot beat that mileage. Europe has been running diesels for years. . . They've known for a lot longer than America the value to be had in a diesel powered vehicle. The engine typically lasts for a LONG time, outlasting gasoline powered vehicles by decades sometimes.
I am super pissed that they aren't offering the diesel right now because of the new environmental restrictions. Otherwise I'd likely have already bought one. But since it isn't until the 2008 model year that they'll be available in the US, I'll wait for it. THAT will be my commuting vehicle and my truck will move to RV status. BOTH diesels. :biggrin:
When I saw their mileage verses the hybrids it was a no brainer for me. I put a lot of miles on my vehicles and diesel just makes sense due to its durability.
I do, too. I bought my car brand new in May 2003, with something like 70 miles on it, and now it has 105,000.
Soo...if they're coming out in '08 do you think we'll be seeing them on the lots come August/September?
Told Aaron about the Jetta. He was very pleased. Of course, we'll still need something large like a van, but we are in the market for 2 vehicles...

They've commited to meeting the new environmental requirements by the 2008 model year, however last I heard they were ahead of schedule and that we may just see them this fall. . . so yeah I think they'll be availble! :yes:
i asked my man if i could have my own italian to make me cannoli when i want... he said, "uh, no. not at this time."
so i said, "another time, then? do you imply that there is a chance?"
he laughed at me. i was totally serious. lol...
man, those lads up the hill make a damn good cannoli...
I love cannoli :smile:
i have a weakness for italian boys... cannoli is just a bonus...
:biggrin: @ ~VXN~ :biggrin:
pffft, if Jason is any indication of what Italian boys are like, you can keep them.
Pffft - you are profiling! :spooked:
What is they say, Italian men are lovers? But Italians have great tempers? I don't think I'm profiling. He's a lover all right, as often as possible, with whoever. And his temper? I'm repairing things he broke while mad. Maybe it's a good thing he's gone.
Anger management issues are not restricted to men of Italian descent; in fact mountain Williams, French, Polish, Spanish, Slav's, Irish, Jewish, ET AL, all experience these issues at a fairly common instance of occurrence. One does not experience a higher level of incident with this challenge than another.
So how is that statement not profiling when you utilize his genealogy or race to broadly paint all who may share it as possessing the same opportunities for improvement?
Would it not be better to say "Jimmie Jones" has a temper, breaks things when he is angry, and is easily moved to anger? Thus you are describing the individual's challenges and not an entire race. When you use descriptors that are all encompassing that is profiling.
You want anger? Try German/Quakers. Freakin Adolfs, all of them. But I love mine, nonetheless.

Throw in a little Blackfoot and German and I'd say you have the perfect mix. 8)
I didn't profile a race. Are Italians a different race? I didn't realize that national heritage was considered race. At any rate, I'm not the profiler, it was already profiled. Jason just fits it. I've also had bad luck with Marines. So I won't date or marry any more of those either. I think they pick up traits that are unpleasant to me.

Yes you did. Italian Americans, and now Americans in general (USMC to be specific). They're all human beings and there are bad apples in every bunch. It isn't a matter of "heritage", race, or creed. It is a matter of environment (and genetic predisposition in some cases), but none should be catagorized in a general statement that bases itself upon their nationality, race, or creed; including gender.
What if someone made a statement that all jobless women were (fill in your favorite here)? Would that be fair? No. . .

. . . At any rate, I'm not the profiler, it was already profiled. . .
You use it, you endorse it, you own it.
For example, I met one of my future neighbors last week and he happens to be of color. We were talking about the neighborhood and he came right out and accused his neighbor (not me, but one living right next to him) of being a racist. Granted, he related several examples of actions / statements that would support his position. But then in the very next moment he is making derrogatory blanket comments surrounding hispanic workers that are performing a vital function to the construction process. Now, if he wanted to critique their work then he could have just stated that the men/women that are doing (whatever) are not performing up to expectations. But no, he has to bring nationality into the statement which infers that all of the nationality are in possession of bad work habits. How does this make him any different than his neighbor? He isn't. . .
whatever, and I suppose you have never been bitter over something and made an offhanded comment that someone else wanted to tear apart and analyze? I'm not having any fun with this. When I get the same type of man over and over again, I'm going to not trust that heritage, or that group of men. It's my prerogative. How's this for profiling, all men suck.

:o
But then again, is that such a bad thing after all? ;)
In my frame of mind since last friday. Pretty much.
The only reason I'm still gaga over Aaron is because I've never met him and am not likely to. He might be the only one I have real conversations with that doesn't suck. At least he keeps me laughing.
(don't you guys on here get your boxers in a bunch. I'm talking about the single men I could have access to.)
Your anger with one (or several men if you prefer) is understandable, and I would grant you entitlement to some level of frustration. However, to extend your experiences with one or a handful of any particular race, creed, color, gender, etc. is insidious at best and does nothing more than deprive you of future opportunity.
If your experiences are consistent then this is indicative of a flaw within your selection process, thought process, or perhaps something else. You would be better served in taking this frustration and directing it toward something that would be beneficial to you; say for example a self analysis of your selection process.
EXAMPLE ( Disclaimer: I do not mean to infer that this is your process, but rather utilize it merely as an example here):
Suppose I chose my potential mates purely based upon their wealth or ability to support ME and my family. I paid no attention to their work habits, their personal habits, their tastes, their desires; and spent the entire "get to know you" period gathering information surrounding their financial status and determining their amount of discretionary cash each pay period, while I "serviced" them to the best of my ability in order to get and keep their attention.
Should I really have any expectation of security or longevity, much less loyalty within such a selection criteria? I wouldn't think so. If that's what I want then I darned well better act to ensure that our personal tastes, desires, needs, and goals mesh pretty closely; cause after the "honeymoon" we're going to have to deal with each other every day, all day long. . . or enjoy life on the rocks and ambiguity.
It would seem that the common denominator within your experiences might just have more to do with something within your selection process, rather than the men it results in. . . No?
Hey, I'm not here to push buttons other than those on my keyboard, and if I am doing that to you than let me apologize up front. You broached the subject and all I am trying to do is point out the error within your "justification" of your statements and their intention, as well as how they may be perceived by some.
Sure, I stand guilty of the very same behaviors within the past, but if we cannot learn from our mistakes than we are doomed to repeat them until we do. I learned many of my lessons the hard way and I am committed toward helping others avoid or circumvent these challenges; in the hope that it will not take them as long to understand the lessons as it has taken me.
Am I perfect, am I always right? Heck no! Anybody that thinks they are has not learned a thing yet. But I have learned that commitment toward continuous improvement of self, personally and professionally, is the cornerstone of the path toward success. If you aren't learning, then you have already started dieing.
Oh crud.

If you ask nicely, most will. Maybe it isnt the men, maybe you need to step back and look at who you are choosing from, throw that list away and make a new one. I know quite a few decent, hardworking, honest men, and I gotta say, all men do not suck. Some however do need a good kick in the bum.

It's a huge pool I'm choosing from, the whole United States. I'm looking for certain qualities, and in the beginning these guys are exhibiting them, until I get to spend some time with them. And it's always the same kind of crap. It has to be built in to them. Do they feel THAT comfortable with me that they can be this way? I wish it was just all about sex, I could just test drive it and then move on.

Maybe its cause I'm tired...but I didn't understand what you just said.
I think she said she doesn't want anyone to decorate her car, a person with a grudge may not be nice with the decorating.

Only $3.99? Or is that per minute? Do you take pay pal?
So many questions....

Here in Illinois when a couple gets divorced, they have to take a mandatory parenting class. The reason for it, is so they don't pit the kids against the other parent. They learn not to say derogatory stuff about the other parent etc. My boss got divorced 4 months ago, her and her ex had to complete the course, before the judge would grant the divorce. Illinois has some of the strictest laws on everything.
Oh lord.
My 5 year old just brought me a DVD. He said, "Mommy, I brought you something. This was in my game pile, but its not good for little boys."
The DVD? Aaron's copy of Crack Addicts. It has a semi-nude woman on the disk in a corset and thigh high stockings. WHOOPS!
I asked if he'd put it in the PS2. He said no, because it wasn't for little boys. Phew...

Yep, :yes: that's how it is in Indiana. All 3 of us - including Lil BEG had to attend classes before our divorce was final.
I thought that's the way it was here. But we didn't do it. My dad and his ex had to do it when they got divorced back in 94/95......I kept waiting for the instruction to attend for our divorce, but it never came. A lot of stuff never happened that I had always heard about when it comes to divorce. Now I'm going to have to take his butt back to court to straighten a lot of things out. I guess we didn't have to go to the course/class, because we were already in family counseling?
Yeah - I bet that is the reason, Pari. Because ours was court order. No class - no divorce. Mr Kokomo and Mr Fishers had to go to class too in their home counties.
I had to do it, too. Really, all it was was a few hours of "dont talk bad about your ex in front of your kids," and a bunch of videos of mom's doing some poor acting of dad-bashing. Yawn.
LOL my kids do enough dad bashing on their own. I'm wondering just how much mom bashing they do over there.
I know a couple that just got divorced, and didn't have to take the class. If the child is an infant, you don't have to because they don't absorb as much, of whats going on around them. I don't know if I quite agree with that or not. :shrug:
Funny, this very topic came up earlier at the game.
Well, I advocate for ALL parents being mandated to take parenting classes throughout the years...not just when the parents divorce. Or as Steve & DC were talking about yesterday, getting limaze classes during the pregnancy.

I had the most wonderful weekend with the most wonderful and gorgeous lady my best friend and my wife
:smitten:
I think there are missing commas in there
"I had the most wonderful weekend with the most wonderful and gorgeous lady, my best friend, and my wife."
are you trying to make it look like he was with 3 people over the weekend? LOL
ummm.....yes
I thought it was a grammatical error.
If it was just one person that he spent the most wonderful weekend with -- maybe it should read:
"I had the most wonderful weekend with the most wonderful and gorgeous lady: my best friend and wife."
but...who knows...maybe the wonderful gorgeous lady also spent the weekend with jazzer, his wife & and his best friend. ;)
Sorry for the confusion it was just one person my lovely wife.
Just givin' ya a hard time, jazzer! ;)
No problem
I'm thinking he already had a hard time over the weekend, with that gorgeous lady, his bestfriend and his wife. :eek: LOL

Yes, I love ponytails, and claw-clips. That is what is holding me back from cutting it. I couldn't stand it down all the time.

Internet radio. You put in the name of a band you like, and it matches up similar sounds and plays them. Example: mine at the moment is set for Coldplay. I get a lot of stuff like Hootie and the Blowfish, The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Matthews, and some other stuff I'd never heard of before but found I like.

I agree, Fall is my favorite season of the year. Midwestern Falls are the bomb!!!!! The beautiful leaves and foilage, haywrack rides and wiener roasts. In Illinois, the first 2 weekends in October, we have what is known as Scenic Drive. Allot of the river towns have something like a Fall Festival. People start at one end of the county, and stop at every town along the way. There are set ups all along the way. People sell crafts, food and antiques. There are demonstrations of old time trades like, broom making, rug making, wood carving,etc etc etc. Where I grew up, theres a very small mountain,actually it is considered a state park. Every year Indians come and set up their Tee Pees, and do demonstrations on making arrow heads, and you can look in their Tee Pees, and see how they live. There are also war reanactors that shoot a cannon. The sound of that cannon bounces off the valley, it can be heard for miles. It's like one of the biggest events in Illinois. People come in from other states to it. On a sad note, our local part of it, may only be on it another year, because alot of the old timers that have directed it, have passed away or are too old to do it. My husbands family have never been involved in it, but they volunteered, and took the torch for this year. Maybe if all goes well, and they have a good turn out, they'll keep doing it. It is just a wonderful event, and we look forward to it every year. I always have to at least have a funnel cake, and haystack onion rings every year. It's cool!!! :smile:

Dex, that sounds like so much fun. In Maryland we had the apple festival which was what the kids and I lived for! It was only one day though. Here in California, in a town a little north of me, called Julian, they do something similar, but I haven't made it yet. Hopefully, this year.

There's a town about an hour away, that has a Strawberry Festival, every year at the begining of June. About a half an hour away they have a Rubarb Festival. I've never been to that one, but I have been to the Strawberry one. Next month we're going to The New Windsor Rodeo. It's the smallest rodeo in the world. It's alot of fun. They have a flea market, with a large assortment of items. I collect fantasy knives, so when I go to events like that I usually buy knives. :smile:

I have bad memories of Rubarb. Let's just say that the 1st pie I learned how to make was Rubarb pie and it was delicious, but deadly. :spooked: (All that fiber!) I love festivals of any type. I like the crowds and the excitement. The funniest one that I went to was a "Corn festival" in Maryland. Everything, of course, revolved around corn. It was fairly "corny" whahahah woh. The entire festival was for charity to buy some equipment for my son's middle school. In fact it was to be his first year in that school. All of the teachers and administrators participated. There was one guy talking smack on the dunking booth. He was giving his best try at talking people into giving it a try and then cracking them up so they couldn't throw well and dunk him. My son walked up and the guy was talkin' trash, just like w/everyone else. I said, "you may not want to do that" and laughed. He laughed with me, but kept poking fun at my son. With his sly little grin, he reared back and POP! SPLASH!, in went the guy. My son had two more softballs and this guy went in two more times. The guy was ranting and raving about "getting him" next year, but I could tell he was joking. The following year, my son discovered that "this guy" was his gym teacher and baseball coach. LOL
I have accomplished two major things that I wanted finished today and one more left on my plate. System willing, I'll finish it next. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

My fingers are crossed. You talked about Rhubarb pie,I never knew until recently, that the leaves on a Rhubarb plant are toxic. :spooked: I never ever knew that. There was a small patch of it here when we moved here. It's extremely toxic to cats, so we keep it mowed down. Cats love to sample and taste everything, so we didn't want to take a chance, of them eating it. There are alto of things a person wouldn't think of, that is deadly to cats. A real shocker for me was Baby's Breath in floral arrangements. One of my cats ate some one time, and got real sick from it. I called poison control, and they said as long as he kept vomiting he'd be OK, but if he quit, they'd have to pump his stomach. Luckily he threw it all up and was fine. Now when my husband buys me flowers, he gets a substitute that is non toxic to animals. :smile:

Wouoldn't do any good. Verticle movement. . . :biggrin:
too much to do today to be messing around on the internet.
work out (as soon as i get off here)
clean the fridge (eww.)
laundry
check the packs (2 of the boys are going on a 3 day, 3 night trip)
dishes
vacuum
living room of doom (toys jumped out of the toy boxes all by themselves)
the rest of the usual acts of domestic slavery
finally feel healthy enough to get it all done.
i wish i could stay home and do housework, jazz blasting, doors open and rags in hand. Instead I am stuck here for the day, and for most of the night.
grumble grumble
Two more hours of indentured slavery and then 50 hours of freedom, followed closely by the second Monday this week! :icon_evil:

No kidding! :rant:
i did a bad thing and now i am in trouble. :( i accidentally plugged one of the police scanners in wrong. (i stuck the cord in the charge hole instead of the power hole.) i blew up the batteries in the scanner. i am in the vxn house for sure. :'( (it was a $300 handheld...) he didn't speak to me for almost a whole 24 hours.
pffft over a scanner? accident's happen...he needs to get over it!
One of the advantages of living alone, if you accidently blow something up, you only get the silent treatment from yourself. LOL

Awww man, I hate it when that happens. Don't feel bad, tonight I ripped the doorknob off the back porch door. I just grabbed it to shut it,and when I pulled it, it flew out of my hands, and It almost took the cat's head off. :spooked: So, tommorrow I will feel the wrath I'm sure. It wouldn't be so bad, if stupid crap like that didn't happen to me soo much. Stupid crap like that happens to me daily. I swear to God it does. If I don't break,mame or kill something everyday, it's not a normal day for me LOL!!! :biggrin:
Dexter, c'mon, when the door knob comes off, trust me, it's not your fault. I don't believe you can break a door knob. The screw comes loose, and jiggles out, and tada, the knob just comes off. That reminds me, I need to find a screw for the basement knob, it keeps coming off too.

LOL!!! It was kind of funny because, when I opened it back up the other knob was still attached to this massive screw. I was able to put it back on, but I have to be careful, not to pull on it too hard, or I could fly backwards, and land on my ass LOL!!!! God help the cats, if they're anywhere close when that happens. :spooked:
Going to be hotter than Hades out today. Guess the grass will be turning to hay again real soon! :spooked:

Since we supposedly aren't taking our physical bodies with us, there must something to the spirit that endures and suffers the heat anyway. :spooked:
The concept of eternal damnation and burning in the fires of hell is a creation of humankind. Had they taken the time to fully think through the concept they would have realized our physical bodies do not go with us. But then again they'd have just made hell something like being stuck with your worst partner yapping at yah 24/7/365 for eternity instead. . . Now THAT would be hell! :biggrin:
you know....maybe you should keep those thoughts repressed. You know if WE can communicate with spirit, then if there is something to worry about after death, some of the less desirable spirits may be gathering intelligence to devise new hell scenarios for the less fortunate.
Hmm, I just had a thought. If we send innocent people to prison, and we all know it happens at times, do you think innocents are judged guilty and sent to hell? With no chance of parole? :eek:
Not a chance. Hell doesn't exist. Purgatory might though. :spooked:
At least, the way I understand it, there is a chance of escaping from Purgatory.
Exactly! Pay what you owe then go!
I'd much rather play here than work today. OMG did they leave every disaster for my return! So much for the warm and fuzzy had a couple days off feeling. :biggrin:

i know crap happens here a lot too--i flooded the kitchen once (not my fault, we looked under the sink and saw the previous owner set the pipes together and didn't bother doing it right). the vacuum caught fire (he was mad as the devil), took it apart and saw the faulty power switch--i was lucky i didn't get fried while vacuuming.
i just feel like he thinks all these "accidents" are on purpose and done with some malicious and disrespectful intent.
he should know better by now.

Amen to that sister!!!! I'm with you. Hell, every time I screw something up, he acts like I cause the world to spin off it's axis. No matter what it is,it's my fault. Something that makes him mad is,if I forget to set up the coffee pot for him. He works nights and when he gets up,there better be water, and coffee ground in that coffee pot. If there isn't, the world comes to a screeching halt, the Sun burns out ,the rivers stop flowing, the Moon drops into the ocean, and it's the end of civilization, and life as we know it. Jesum Crow!!! All that for Folgers LOL!!! :spooked:
what is wrong with HIM setting up his own darn coffee pot? Boy, I am so glad that I am not married to a helpless guy who puts me down anytime he can. My hubby cleans house, washes dishes, does laundry, runs the vacuum and anything else that needs to be done. If it benefits him, he better be willing to help out.

Helpless and hopeless. He cooks sometimes, and once in a while he vacumns for me. We've been married for 17 years, so I'm pretty much used to it. He has alot of good qualities. He works an 80 hour week. So, he's pretty tired and doesn't get alot of free time. He flys R/C helicopters out in our back yard. All in all he is good guy. He's just used to being waited on hand and foot LOL!!!! I think he's a keeper. :smile:
I had a friend once tell me when I got engaged, don't do anything in your first year of marriage that you aren't willing to do for the rest of your life. I didn't get married but that piece of advice has stuck with me!

Make sure you follow through on that. If you do too much nice stuff for them, they'll expect it forever. Then you lose your individuality. It's like babysitting everyday the rest of your life. :spooked:

Yes I know this. Probably why I'm still single! :razz:
i'll not likely ever marry. i could stay where i am forever though. i do more than i did the first year we were together and would gladly do it forever--but what about the men? they should put that kind of effort in forever, too.
mine is a far better cook than i.... the beasties all voted me out of the kitchen and have "man-time" with daddy and the grill.
i agree. once married is enough. I like doing whatever I want whenever I want, and with no explanations.

When things are working out, don't change a thing. The only difference between your situation now,and being married, is a peice of paper. Many a good relationship has gone down in flames, because of marriage talk or actually getting married. If it aint broke don't fix it. :trustme:

I don't want to stay single forever. I would like to have kids someday soon. I'm a bit old fashioned in that I would like to have them with a husband but I guess if it gets to the point where I had better hurry up, well then I guess I'll have to reconsider my thinking.

Sounds like a good plan to me. You do have to make sacrifices when you're married. It's give and take.It can't be all about you, and it can't be all about him either. Marriage is a union. For the most part we do stuff my husbands way. I don't complain much, because he makes $ 100 grand a year, I have what I want and I'm comfortable. We were dirt poor when we got married. We've had alot of bad things happen, but we've always gotten through it together. We've always loved each other. We've got us, and nothing else matters. :biggrin:

Thats great Dexter. My first two marriages were all about him and now I have found someone who realizes things go both ways. We are, and have been, together for 24/7 for close to 8 years now and still like being together and doing things together. He forgives my weaknesses and I forgive his and we work as a team. :smitten:

That's exactly how it should be. Teamwork so to speak LOL!!!! Alot goes in to making a marriage work. There will always be rough spots, but you work through them. Our first year was a nightmare. :spooked: We separated 10 or 15 times LOL!!! We finally learned,that you don't just walk out, every time you disagree. You talk about it, and work through it. I know him so well I can read his mind. I finish his sentences for him. It's kind of like Radar and Col. Potter on M.A.S.H. I always know what he's thinking, and it's not always nice thoughts. I'll look at him and say "Don't go there." Then he says" How the hell do you do that?" I just laugh and say" I told you I can read your mind." LOL!!!! :yes:

Yep, the only time we get buns is when we have company. I'm getting to where I'd just as soon have my hot dogs on bread.
I prefer hamburgers on bread, myself...
me - we NEVER had hotdog buns unless we had company! I refuse to eat them in bread now. I'd rather eat them plain! haha
Whats really good is to wrap them, hot dogs, in biscuit dough and bake them....yummy :yes:
Especially with a slice of Velveeta!
My dad would sometimes wrap bacon around it and secure it with toothpicks. That was yummy! Great for the heart too! haha
I bet!!!

friday the 13th. hmm. the only creepy thing i did so far was take pix of a carcass on the trail. on the way back there was a dead rodent... so i took his picture, too.
I need a little help with my vocabulary today. What's the difference between a 'carcass' and just a plain "dead rodent" ?? ???

Makes one's head hurt trying to figure the odds --
wear the gear to protect against the flying metal and risk heat prostration or.......
don't wear the gear to get some heat relief and risk the flying death.
Ah, memories.
well, the carcass was a rabbit... dead long enough to be past the maggot chow stage... the rodent was fresh. very fresh... not yet to the maggot stage. visual aids of the carcass in my member play area... (couldn't post the rodent--there was a crotchel region visible... didn't want to get nailed for rodent porn.)

yeah, i could black box the crotchel region.. but that would demean the "art"... lol.... yeah, pari--dead rodent porn is a line i just can't cross.... lol...
i could have posted some of the japanese beetles that are destroying my roses--but alas, insect porn is probably also a no-no. and slugs! don't get me started on those little perverts. (i have the photos to prove it...)
Slug porn is such a slimy subject.
absolutely. lol.
oh those nasty slugs, I have spaces in my floor and wall in the kitchen and a dirt crawlspace under that part of my house, and I can't even count the number of times over the last 10 years I've squished one in the dark. ugh!
ewww.... barefoot is the best. lol...
yeah...okay.....right....next time I hope it's YOUR barefoot they end up under <shudder>
They curl up quite nicely when sprinkled with a bit of salt.
Not recommended for human consumption, though.

something bad is going to happen. there are 2 outcomes. i more than just know it--i am positive.
A) something bad happens and i keep it to myself.
B) i prevent it, but everyone will see the damage i have to cause in order to prevent it.

well, my neighbor sits around all day using substances. has friends. they stop over all hours. he sees me in the yard. calls over. i say hi. he introduces me to his friend. i stay on the edge of his yard--practically on the sidewalk. he says, "come closer." friend says, "yeah, we don't bite." looking at me in that way that men will ill intent look at women. leering and slobbering. (and i was dressed as usual. shorts, tank, long sleeve around my waist--hides the arse better...) asking me if my man is home... and if he lives with me.
they ask about my book. i answer politely and briefly--you want to read it? go find it at the library.
as i get across the street i hear his chum saying how hot he thinks i am and asking about what kind of locks i have on my door.

:spooked: That is not good ~vxn~. You might want to avoid those guys. Is your guy around? Do you have protection,as in a gun, or weapon of some sort? I have a 45 ,and I know how to shoot it. I'm out in the country, and alone at night. If somebody came in to my house, in the middle of the night, I'd shoot them so fast, they'd be dead before they hit the floor. I don't mess around when it comes to my safety, or the safety of my animals either LOL!! If I was you I wouldn't go outside anymore until they're gone. Keep us updated. Stay close to a phone incase you have to call 911.
guys like that are usually all talk. If they have that kind of thing on their mind, most likely they won't discuss it with someone else. But double locking your door wouldn't hurt.

You just never know what could happen. There are alot of sickos out there. :eek:
the friend also quoted a line of my poetry. (nearly forgot... just put it in the back of my mind.) before i told him to go look for it at the library. i find that odd. he said it in a way that implies he knows me. he doesn't know me.
i had a stalker in 1998. it was not good. didn't go well. moved to get away from him. not even trying to play that game of cat and mouse again. i have kids this time.
my man is busy and away a lot--work, little league, etc. i have no guns in the house since becoming a parent.
I understand the stalker issue. :spooked:
so close to being done with the most recent children's book...
need to make a bath tub, bubbles, take the photos, get them on the pages, publish.... poof! book. also need to write a cover letter for the family of the little girl whose memory it is dedicated to... that, i suspect, will be the hardest part.

When I was a child my family had one every year. We'd have 40 or 50 people come. We always had a hayrack ride. It was the highlight of the party, we'd ride around, and sign at the top of our lungs. The grown ups were always wasted, and inevitably every single time, somebody got sick or fell off. It sure was alot of fun. Those were carefree times, and I miss them alot. After my parents divorced that was the end of it all. I cherish those memories. :yes:

This is funny but it's also not funny. A freind of mine got mad at her 4 year old son, and was chasing him round, she ran him towards his bedroom, his bed room door was closed, and he crashed through it. :o He hit it soo hard that he not only smashed through it, it tore the frame work down too. :spooked: He didn't get hurt, and she was soo shocked, she didn't even spank him, which was the original plan.LOL!!!! :rotfl:
lol.... my youngest said, "a hug and kisses before bed." i got his brothers first then went to him... two kisses. and then he squealed, "nope, you gotta kiss me THREE times!" and ran. i chased him all over the house. he got past the couch far quicker than i could... and BAM.

Man, that looks painful. I have a weird hang up, I wear my shoes all the time, unless I'm sleeping or in the shower LOL!!! I have really tender feet.I stub my toes alot because I'm so fartin' clumsy. I tend to bounce off of things. :bounce: I'm always black and blue. Mostly my forearms. My biggest problem is that I'm always in fast forward mode. :bliss:
OUCH vxn!
looks even better today:

no one can understand how i only manager to break one toe. (there is bruising across my foot a little and down toward the ankle...) i still laugh... it was all in hot pursuit of a beastie....
LOL!!!! The discoloration will probably get worse in the next couple of days. Journally when I stub my toe it's the big toe. A real good time to stub your toe, is when you have an ingrown toenail. Good Times!!!!! I've literally peed my pants when that happens LOL!!!! Usually a string of obscenities flys out of my mouth too. :@#%&:

Wow!!! It's only 87* here, if the computer is right. It says the heat index is 98. It is getting pretty windy out now, so hopefully both of those will drop soon. I hate it when it's soo hot you can't be outside, because you can't even breathe. Thank God for central air. I'd probably die without it LOL!!!! :yes: :dead:
Well, we had a pretty good storm roll though and so far it's cooler. I just hope it don't get even worse now that the sun is back out...

We didn't get anything. We didn't get a storm and the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife. No relief in sight. It is 7:30 and it's still 88*. :no:

Is there truth to that...or is that just a cliché?
Well, I think it's true to a certain extent. We overlook a lot of things when we are in love (or believe we are) that would repel us when applied to someone who we are not in love with.
One of the hazards of divorce and then meeting new people, I've found, is that you tend to compare everyone to what you know. The more I find myself comparing, the more I notice about my ex's physique, that I didn't notice while we were together. I believe that I was blind to a lot of things, physically, emotionally and intellectually. Things that turn me off in most people now, are things I lived with for 20 years and didn't even notice.

Good morning. How was your Sunday?
Sunday was a very relaxed day.
Witness pic at left. :razz:
Close, sir, very close to that very thing
I hope you are saying that in jest!?
Me not clowning around on the zone would be very bad form, as well as disappointing. It was completely in jest. I spent the day with family, a short part of the afternoon with a dear friend, and the evening watching the remake of Cape Fear.
Very good. I was concerned about you overdoing the Jack and H20.....Glad you had a good day. As did I, damfast.
My reputation exceeds my consumption, I think

i was getting yearly calendars from kraft. awesome. one year, mine was late (very late, like september late). so i created my own--it goes from august to september... so now, i just make my own, my year starts in august, with the school year--would have ordered it months ago, but wanted to publish another children's book and order both at the same time to save on shipping. i need the book, "Little Monkey" to make sure all the photos turned out okay so i can release it to the public (it is a book in memory of the little girl from my son's kindergarten class who was struck and killed by a car in may. the family will get the profits). then i can write my letter to her mother and present it with a copy of the book.

That is soo nice of you ~vxn~ I remember you telling us about that little girl. Let us know where we can buy a copy, I would really like to get one. :yes: I'm sure her Mom will love it. :yes: Keeping fingers crossed that you get the stuff you need soon. :biggrin:
Good morning
i need coffee
Did someone oversleep this morning???? :wink:
i got my copy yesterday, dex... and from that moment:
made the book available to the public
made a cafepress store of Little Monkey items
promoted a little here and there
non-stop work. the family will get 100% of the profts the entire first year (sales will drop considerably after that time). i'm thinking a percentage every year after that until what would have been her 18th birthday. still working all that out.
now i have contact her mother. it's so hard to see her--it just as easily could have been one of my children.
i do not believe i am permitted to openly promote at this forum. (or i would. lol. a lot. :) )

soapy water, fill the ant bed with soapy water.
speaking of water as a way to rid ones home of pests...
a friend had a problem with a possum in her crawl space...
so she sat a trap, caught the sucker, and then called animal control to come get it.
They said they dont do that. She asked if she should just go drop it in a field somewhere...they said no, something about rabies.
So she asked what she SHOULD do. They told her to fill a plastic trash can with water and drop the thing in, cage and all.
we were trapping our trespassers--skunks, racoons, groundhogs--mostly. then we'd call the animal control guy, he'd remove them for us. one day the animal guy was away. we had a skunk. it was hot out. (you have to set the traps in a black garbage bag to make it look like a cave--critters are too smart around here.) we didn't want him baking in the sun and weren't about to let him loose in the fenced-in yard again. we called the cops to remove him. well, they took him... and fined us for illegal trapping. apparently, it is illegal to trap ANY quadraped, even mice--no matter the harm they may do.
(we have a pal or two in the legal system and weaseled out of the fine... and donated our 4 $75 traps to the city.)

That reminds me of the time a beaver decided to set up housekeeping in my back yard. It was literally destroying all of my trees, so I called the wildlife service. They told me they couldn't move it that time of year because it likely
wouldn't survive. But they offered to put me in touch with a
trapper who would come kill it for me when the season opened in about a month. :rant:
So I shot it.

That is HORRIBLE :spooked: They are very sweet creatures.A friend of mine found a baby one in his driveway, and couldn't keep it. Dex to the resque. :super: I took it home with me and raised it in the house for 3 months. When we felt she was old enough, we set her free, down over a hill behind our house. We didn't handle her a lot ,because we didn't want her to become tame. We didn't see anything of her for a while, them she started showing up with 2 males( lucky girl) we were thrilled that she was still alive. She loves corn curls, and I put them out on the deck every night. Opposums get along well with my cats. They sit right with the cats, and eat out of the bowl together. They really are sweet animals. It's sad that they told your friend to kill it that way. That's just plain cruel. :'( :no:

One night at about 10:30, I was watching TV, and the central air kicked on, and the house filled up with a stench. I thought' Gee Gods what is that smell"??? Then it hit me... skunk!!!! One of the pesty creatures had backed up and hosed the ac unit in the back yard. Jesum Crow!!! The smell was horrible,but I couldn't open the windows you know, the skunk was out there.It sprayed it like that about 4 nights in a row. Then it ended. I got a call from my elderly neighbor lady asking if we had had trouble with skunks??? Appearently, her dog Annie had gotten ambushed several times by the crazy thing LOL!!!

Since it's going to storm any minute I think I'll just take a nap..... :yes: :biggrin:
i am tired. i am very, very tired. i want to sleep.
I did...for about 2hrs... ;D It's still raining too. I had to pick some of the tomato's before they burst from all the rain we had since last night and the rain we're getting today. Got them picked just before it started to rain earlier. :five:
Still raining this morning. It can quit any time now... :rolleyes:

Okay, has anyone seen the Pet smart commercial with the bulldog? This beautiful full grown bulldog hears his "mom's" car pull up and she/he grabs this long red chew toy and runs towards the door. Mom walks in and says, "I brought you something, your little sister" and sits this very small, adorable and kinda scared looking little bulldog down in front of him. Bulldog's faces are deceiving anyway. They look mad and aren't at all. He's looking at her and she's looking back at him, like "do you like me" and she honestly looks a little nervous. He bends down and pushes his chew toy towards her.
What an adorable commercial! I love bulldogs! :smitten:
Haven't seen that one yet but I don't watch much TV. Hope I'll catch it though.

I've seen it and it is adorable. My husband has always wanted a Bull dog. We have a Pug, and they are in the Bull dog family. I've always thought that dogs with smashed looking faces, are soo cute. Pugsly hasn't got the brains God gave a rubber duck, but he has a face that is soo sweet,and he is a loyal friend. His disposition is very sweet, he never growls or bites,and all of the cats think he's the bomb LOL!!! When I put him outside, all the cats rub all over him ,which leads me to believe that.. 1. they love him. or 2. his scent makes for a great bug repelant LOL!!! I'm pretty sure they love him. :yes:

My cell phone was finally shut off so I've been scrambling to get a contact number to places I've applied. Just when I start giving them my daughters number, a friend who is on the road a lot and wants to be able to talk to me, as well as wants me to be able to get calls for interviews, went out and got me a new cell, the go phone, and $70 worth of time on it.

Even I am surprised at how nice he is, and not asking a thing in return. Though I will admit, he knows that it upsets me for him to do so much for me. I'm used to being able to do things on my own without outside help. He says he would rather do things for someone he cares about than waste his money on toys and things he doesn't really need.

Sometimes, it's hard to ask for, or accept another ones help. He sounds like a very nice guy. And the fact that he doesn't ask a thing in return, is a very good thing. :yes:

THAT MAKES HIM A KEEPER! For real! My ex trades in cars every 6 months. He'll never be out of debt! EVER! No one can tell him differently!
There are quite a few things about him that make him a keeper. When I met him online back in the spring of 2000, I knew there was something special about him then. I just chose to be the good wife and not pursue finding out what it was that made him special. I'm free to do so now..and I think as long as he allows me to, I will. BUT believe me, it's a very slow endeavor. LOL We've stayed in touch for a straight 9 months now, even with Jason in the picture. And there's been no rush to make this relationship any more than what it is evolving into naturally. I actually feel safe for once.
That is awesome Pari! Luck all the way around must be swinging in the upward direction! I know I can feel it!

Is your Mom sick ~vxn~ ? I hope you find your earring. Last Fall, I lost my wedding ring and never did find it. I was heartsick. Hubby bought me a diamond solitaire sounded by small diamonds, and the band has diamonds too. I still would love to find my original wedding ring. It has soo much sentimental value. :yes:

leaving monday coming home thursday or saturday. the cats stay away from me when he is gone.... so they won't even be sleeping with me. :(
yup, my mom's got double pneumonia. they thought it was TB for a while there. my earring was found! it was in her hospital room. i hate losing things that i love. and i don't get diamonds very often... so i was really upset.
perhaps, someday your ring will magically reappear. (i've had that happen a few times... and few years later...)

My sister is bi-polar. When my Mom goes we might as well send my sister too, because she can't wipe her ass, unless Mom tells her to. I know that sounds bad, but my Mom is such a control freak, shes basically ruined my sister's life.My sister is almost forty, lives in a house my Dad provides, won't work, won't date, and has no life, because of my Mom. To my sister, she'd rather have no life whatsoever, then to put in an honest days work. My parents have always given her anything she wants. They've never given me one damn thing. I've always had to scrape and struggle. I'm sorry I trailed off on my own shit. You should try to convince your brother , that he is strong, and you're there to help him. He wont be abandoned if your Mom passes away. That will probably help him allot ~vxn~. :yes:
mental illness runs rampant in my family. my mother has pushed her illness into my brother's. they fight constantly--but he feels he NEEDS her. absolutely toxic.

My Mom absolutely sucks the life out of everybody. She absorbs all the energy around her. She's extremely bitter and hateful, and mentally ill enough, that you have to be on guard at all times. When I go to visit her, and take hubby he drives home, because I'm soo drained, I fall asleep a half a block from her apartment, when we leave. We're talking about a 3 hour visit LOL!!! My sister and my Mom fight constantly too. It gets on my nerves, and I tell them, knock it off or I'm going home. I live an hour and a half away,and don't go visit very often. It's all I can do to go there. :no:

i called me wee mum. they did a lung scope and biopsy today. then learned a lung had collapsed--chest tube.
great.
and the school called me. my oldest wee beastie lad cannot focus for the life of him. i really don't want to medicate him.
What is the wee lad eating at breakfast? You'd be surprised how an adjustment in breakfast and lunch foods makes a world of difference!
But also as someone who is "medicated", life is way better for me and I have learned to deal when not medicated. You can't learn to deal if your body never allows you to see the right way to deal.

Yikes :spooked: I hope your Mom is going to be ok. How's you brother doing? Ok, I hope. I wouldn't rush to medicate him either. They push hyperactivity medicine allot these days. My friends little boy is on 3 different meds, for ADHD, ADD, and night terrors. :spooked: He's only 6 years old,for cryin' out loud. His teachers wont even let him come to class, without his med patch on. I know some children are very difficult to deal with, and this kid is a monster, but it seems to me, we're living in an over medicated world. When did little kids become such a handful, they need to be medicated? They actually prescribe anti depressants to children now too. What the hell happened?
frosted flakes. lunch is usually a sandwich, pudding, yogurt, fruit cup, chips. too much sugar maybe?
i think i might have no choice but to medicate. he wanted to play video games after school. i said, home work. (not even 10 minutes home work. 20 spelling words written once.) it took him over an hour to do it.
i've been trying to help him focus. i have ADD/ADHD that i've never been medicated for. sure i go a thousand ways at once--but when channeled right, i get everything accomplished that i want to.
:(
@ dex: my sister got him out of the house and walked with him to the jail to visit his friend who she is dating...

frosted flakes. lunch is usually a sandwich, pudding, yogurt, fruit cup, chips. too much sugar maybe?
i think i might have no choice but to medicate. he wanted to play video games after school. i said, home work. (not even 10 minutes home work. 20 spelling words written once.) it took him over an hour to do it.
i've been trying to help him focus. i have ADD/ADHD that i've never been medicated for. sure i go a thousand ways at once--but when channeled right, i get everything accomplished that i want to.
:(
@ dex: my sister got him out of the house and walked with him to the jail to visit his friend who she is dating... (that's another screwed up story for another day.) at least she got him to leave the house. he was screaming at the top of his lungs the other day. "what am i going to do? she can't die." etc.
I'm soo sorry to hear he isn't much better. :'( I'm sure it's very hard to deal with emotionally for you. Has he ever been hospitalized before? You hate to have to do that, but sometimes it's for their own safety. My Mom's been in at least 4 times. Maybe they can get him leveled out on meds and counseling, it might make a world of difference. I always hated leaving Mom there, but it was for her own good, she was a danger to herself, and others around her, so it was for the best. Is he completely by himself,since your Mom went to the hospital? He really shouldn't be alone right now. It sounds like your sister, and you are a good support system for him. Just don't let it pull you down. You've got all of your friends here at The Zone, to help you through. :smile:
yeah, he's alone. (there might be a pal of his staying over there...) he's attempted suicide before (whole bottle of pills, cuts himself up--sews designs in his skin with dark thread--looks kinda pretty... not very clean)... i don't think they've ever kept him for observation though. i've been trying to talk him down--he screams at me, but it's ok. i understand it. (i've recognized it in myself...)
i was going to call him and see if he wants to stay here with me, since my victim is gone--but realized he might be watching my sister's kids before and after school.
it's funny that he is so dangerous to himself and ppl off the streets--but would never hurt the nieces and nephews--you can see it in his eyes that he loves them. he must wonder why his childhood went so wrong. my poor brother. i wonder if he'll come over for tea or something.

It's such a sad situation ~vxn~. Just try to be careful around him, if he's somewhat unbalanced, he might get violent. There's only soo much you can do. Does your Mom know that he is this unstable? Will your Mom be healthy enough to go back home? Will she be able to recover, while trying to take care of him?
i talked to him again. he's feeling a bit better about things. was deep frying some fries.... said they'd be "clean" we both laughed. (he meant "clean" as in fresh grease/lard/crisco)

It's good he's up doing something. He cares enough to make something for himself to eat. I really hope he gets doing better. You guys have been through soo much in your lives. You deserve some peace and happiness. :yes:
vxn - re: your beastie, could be the sugar/sleep combo. My son, great kid and never used to cause trouble at school (he's 16 now and thinks he's a man, knows it all, etc...normal), but as a small fella, he'd sit in his desk and occupy himself at school. His teachers thought he was doing his work and/or just never focused on him because he didn't bring attention to himself. Until the 1st progress report, then it would be noted that he wasn't completing his work. He'd do his homework and I'd check it and he wouldn't turn it in. We tried charts, rewards, reminder tricks...you name it. The teachers were always great at making suggestions, but none of them worked. So, we took him to the Dr. He didn't want to put my son on medication and suggested that I reduce his sugar and annotate his sleep patterns and the amount of sleep he was getting. With a modified diet he was going to sleep earlier and sleeping better.
I'd like to say that we found success...we did....but then girls replaced the sugar. :rolleyes:
PIYA! You are too much!
I always like to suggest a modified diet first before meds. We just don't realize what we are feeding our kids until we stop and look at labels! Ugh!
Good luck vxn.
thank you, piya and kimmi... i'll work on that... (bedtime is 7:30-8. they stay up and talk to each other for an hour or so)... sugar might not be helping.
dex... some ppl can never find peace. we can only hope to find a place that is not utter chaos of the mind. he still has a lot of work to do to get there--and my mother is not going to help him find it. and now my sister is going to hell in a hand basket (that new guy of hers, happens to be bro's best pal--has been living in her house is now in jail and she just learned that he's been cheating on her the whole time. decided she should cut.) not sure how much more of this i can handle. i am the oldest. it is my duty to try to keep order.
freaking impossible.
someone threw a kitten on my porch. again. damnit. he was walking like he is hurt. he might not even be 6 weeks old. wouldn't drink or eat. shivering soooo bad. (rainy and chilly out today) i made up a shoe box for him on the porch. he's been sleeping for hours.
where is animal control when i need them? (they'll take him to the shelter... where he can have a good home.)
I have had it. I am done. Over, Finished.

:spooked: Did they actually throw it on your porch, or just leave it there? I hate it when people dump cats. I guess I'd rather they dumped them, instead of kill them. :'( Do you have pets? You could always keep him. Ya know, there's always room for one more kitten LOL!!!! :grin2:

right before we saw him on the porch, i heard something hit my house--i thought it was a ball (kids are always throwing crap at my house--usually rocks, eggs, and the occasional BB or pellet).
animal control took him to the shelter--he was too young to eat on his own, maybe 4 weeks at the most.
i have 2 bad cats now... (that i am allergic to). my victim would never let me have another cat...
uh oh, get out of the way damn fast.... damfast is p!st! (i hope she's in better spirits today...)
I don't understand yankees.

LOL!!!! It sounds like the kids in your neighborhood need a good arse whoopin'. Usually with kittens that little they have to be bottle fed. Something unfortunate, is when animal control gets them,they euthanize them, because they don't have the time, and resources to mess with them. They don't have people to give them a bottle every 2 hrs. like they need. I've spent many a night giving kittens a bottle every 2 hrs. It's hard to do when you work. :yes:

I'm glad to hear the kitten is at a no-kill shelter. I found a kitten with a severe eye problem, as in the eye will probably have to come out. It's wild and I can't catch it. I've got to soon or it might die. :spooked:

Being a "Yankee" is a matter of perspective I think. I was born and raised in Southern WV and have always considered myself "southern" because I grew up basically on the border of TN and VA and way south of the Mason Dixon line. I know how important it is to brew sweet tea and I've eaten every type of "green" known to mankind w/fatback, cornbread or biscuits. I can eat potatoes w/anything and I think grits are universal (breakfast or dinner) :biggrin: To my surprise, the folks in Arkansas where my father lived, considered me a Yankee because 1)I was born north of TN and 2) because WV split from Virginia during the Civil War. 3) I talk fast ;D
So, I'm curious...
What happened? :biggrin:
I had a new employee in my office yesterday. She was from Brooklyn, New York. I always chit chat with the new employees, I'm a very outgoing person. It was very obvious, she did not want to talk to me. All business!! I got the impression she thought I was ignorant, I've been told by Southerners that my accent is really thick... Maybe it was just me....

I doubt it was just you. Unfortunately, sometimes people tend to lean towards what they know from stereotypes and neglect to give others a chance, so that they can form their own opinion. Thinking of New York, until I visited the state, I had always associated the entire state with the city and assumed that everyone was hurried or rude. Upstate NY is nothing like the city and the people that I met were very welcoming and nice and would probably enjoy a lengthy conversation about "not much". And while it's true that the city is "busy", I even thought the people there were friendly. I had no trouble asking for information, etc., the 1st time I visited. So, when I encounter people like that, I tend to think they're probably shy and embarrassed by the fact that they don't know what to say to someone who's obviously intelligent enough to talk about everything. :biggrin:
Probably not your imagination BBM! I am from Chicago and folks in Indiana seem to be intimidated by my "accent". I find it challenging to build trust with people here because of this! :icon_evil:

At work if you mess up the cling wrap, my boss has a stroke. She's soo high strung, everything causes her to have a stroke. She's also got a stick up her butt all the time. I'd like to tell her to have it removed, but I'm quite sure that would go over like a lead balloon. :think: :spooked:

This should be no revelation to you, but you can and do.
You are thinking of him and when you do you can feel him can't you? The tiny hairs along the back of your neck and spine stand on end, or seem to; he is with you.
While he cannot read your thoughts he
can hear you, and all you have to do is say out loud what you are feeling. He will find a way to acknowledge you that you will have a high likelihood of comprehending. You just have to remain vigilant.
I have found comfort in the past within composing an email (that you never send of course) or letter to those who have crossed over. You might give it a try. It was a suggestion from a middle-eastern colleague that I found great comfort in before I began to obtain more control over my spiritual side.
You know all of this ~vxn~. Stop thinking and start talking to him. He is with you! :smile:
And my thoughts are with you, as well as my deepest sympathies!
thank you so much, ph. i made it worse before i posted that. i was ok until i decided i should write him a poem. i used to write for him all the time when he was living. he ask me to read them to him over the phone. i wrote one that made me very sad--it bled the paper with the agony of my loss.

You are more than welcome ~vxn~! :smitten: Might I suggest to you that you read said prose out loud to him so he can hear it? He wants you to! And he misses you just as much. If you do this he will be most appreciative, and it will give him such pleasure! :yes: It means so much more to him to hear it in your voice! :smitten:
indeed, ph, indeed. i will do it now.... i do imagine he would have loved to have heard it... (to hear it.)
Hopefully this was done and you now realize the benefits of doing so. :smile:
Have a wonderful day and an outstanding weekend! :smile:

Ever wonder why it is that we pay those who entertain us, (musicians, actors, athletes, etc.), so much money and place so much value upon them, yet those who feed us, make our clothes, and educate us are by comparison (and in some case reality) compensated at a level that makes them paupers???
unh uh :no:

One of my cats got hit by a car today. We just had her spayed 3 weeks ago. :'( Everytime I have a cat spayed or nuetered,they either die or run away. I don't know if that's some sort of a sign or what. Bummer :no:

I'm getting pretty used to it now. I've lost several to the road recently. Right now I've got 2 missing. People fly by our place a hundred miles an hour. :mad: It's a gravel road for Godssakes. :mad: You don't want to wish bad things on people, but I think a sizeable wreck out here, might make people stop and think. If I had kids, they wouldn't be able to play in the front yard, because people speed. We're in the middle of the country Jesum Crow!!!!! :rolleyes:

he did whine the whole way home that they were almost $100. that's a week worth of groceries.
oops...well....mine run $120. LOL, damn bifocals!!
What kills me is that you can't walk out of a grocery store for less than a hundred--and sometime that's just two flimsy plastic bags! :mad:
I can't imagine having to feed a family of five! No wonder the check advance places are growing so steadily :rolleyes:
(you know, pari, there is a plce online where you can buy glasses if you know your prescription.... starting at only about $15--i bought my last pair there...)
i think that a lot of grocereis are way over-priced... there should be a way to make it easier on ppl...
(my sister goes to 5 or 6 different cash advances... all to pay cash advances...)
My prescription expired...I need the works. I am going to get that done this month. I can't beliieve I lost the glasses I bought just a year ago. :( (I got temporary medicaid, just until I'm on my feet again. Might as well get as much taken care of as I can.)
the place i got mine online doesn't verify the RX. you just order and they ship. if i win the lotto, i'm going to get new RX sunglasses...

Oh wow!!!! You have got to get "Chiller"!!! You would LOVE it!!!! We have Direct TV. It's a relatively new channel. They show a lot of the older movies. They also show old TV series like, "Tales from the Crypt" "Monsters", "Freddy's Nightmares" "Friday the Thirteenth:the series" "Twin Peaks"> my favorite< "Night Gallery" >another of my favorites< "Twilight Zone" "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" "American Gothic" and a bunch more. You should seriously check it out. I love it. :smitten: :hal3:

I've been thinking of switching over to Directv when I get stablized again.

It used to be Sci-fi, but they screwed up my friday night lineup so I found other channels to watch. LOL

Ya know, Dishnetwork may have it. :yes: The channel is owned by Universal Studios. It's pretty good. There is one thing that bugs the hell out of me though. They edit the movies. They cut out the foul language. Which is good if you don't like hearing it. IMO it takes away from it. It doesn't come off real in some situations.

Right now, they're harvesting the crops out here. These look like a ladybug, but they're orange, and I think they're called soy bean beetles. Our area gets overtaken by them at harvest time. I don't but, a lot of people have to use a vacuum cleaner, to clean them out of their houses. I keep my windows, and doors shut when they're picking because, 1. I don't want the bugs. ,and 2. The house gets filled with dust and soy bean chaffs. It isn't too bad though. In the Summer, when we get that nasty 100*+ weather, when you step outside, it smells like a hog roast. We live by several hog confinements, which I detest. Those poor piggies don't have any kind of life at all. :'( Of course I contribute to it, because I love pork. I'm such an a**hole I disgust myself. :mad:

i've done it before on another site. i played cooridnator. we'd find out who is interested by starting a secret santa thread. we set a spending limit. participants would private message me their name and mailing address. i would pair ppl up. i would then PM addresses to santas. participants would send gifts to said giftees. it's fun, as long as no one is a psycho pervert. do we have any of those on board?
i should add that there was a restriction that limited participants to a certain length in membership or post count--for example a newbie would be barred (no one knows them well enough, etc. trust is important when dealing with ppl's addresses....).

I know the worst is supposed to hit us around 10:00. Right now it's 9:40 and were having some high winds,and a steady down pour of rain. It's pretty gusty out now. Hopefully, we won't have hail or a tornado. :spooked: I hate it when that happens. :biggrin:

mmm... brownies... i'm never too tired to eat brownies.
grrr... gotta walk a few miles today... off to the pharmacy to pick up my son's medication. i hate crossing route 20. if i get hit by a truck--just know that i loved you all.
seriously, that is some dangerous crap. (and in the rain, too...) i'm not paying a cab $6 down and $6 back. (besides, that's more money than i am worth.)

omg. that b!tch. i called rite aid monday (or tuesday) and asked that they order my kid's pills. they promise to do it and have them by today. i call again today to confirm. she promises me they will definitely have them by 10:30/11:00. i walk down. they don't have them and never will. i'm pist. she apologizes. by now it is lunchtime rush traffic. i walk to subway (same side of the road). order. call my mother who promises to be right there so we can hunt down aother drug store. i wait 30 minutes. i walk home. i wait over an hour. school calls. middle kid was injured on the playground. i walk up and fetch him. my mother finally decides to show up. wants food, money, and a sub. holy freaking devils. the ex calls when i get home. his gramma died. he's not coming to pick up my older 2. fine. calls back to hear me talk. i go to get my remaining kids from school (they promised to have the book order ready). it was not ready. went up the hill for nothing. nope, wait. some kid told the oldest that the youngest left the building. oldest was FRANTIC thought he lost his brother. we go back in the school. youngest was with an aide trying to find oldest. meanwhile, i had to carry middle around--he really banged up his hip. (fell on the concrete parking lot at recess.) jesus, does it ever end? mom calls. wants to pick up my kids. whatever. comes, goes, i sit here freaking out. this day has been arse. (and i'm waiting for my victim so we can go get groceries, as friday is walmart day.) i am fighting the urge to scream... that or drink. both would make me feel a lot better.

We're always here for you ~vxn~. :smile: It sounds like you've had a hell of a day. Sometimes when things go wrong, it seems like a train derailment. It's one thing after another. If I was you, I'd scream and drink. :beers: Usually, when I have a day like that, I grab my cats, and cuddle them. If it's real bad, I'll sit and hold them and cry. Look on the bright side, when you get your DL, it will get much better for you. At least you don't live out in the boondocks like I do, if I had to walk to town for food, we'd starve to death LOL!!! It would take a while for me to starve because, I'm a big woman. I'm not rotund. I'm more of an amazon LMAO!!!! It will get better for you ~vxn. :yes: Feel free to vent anytime. :biggrin:
thankx, dex...
i tried to hug my cat and he bit me. lol...
(i would not drive down there during lunch rush... lol.... probably more dangerous than walking it... there's a subway, little cesar's pizza, long john's/taco bell, wendy's, arby's, and a burger king all right there.)

Working is over-rated. . .but necessary. . .

I'll run by Taco Bell today and pick some up.... :biggrin:
Yeah. Buy one soft taco for 99 cents, and load up on hot sauce packets. :biggrin:
Get some ketchup if you can. Makes a nice tomatoe soup if you can get enough of them. . . :biggrin:
I'll just go when they're real busy and won't notice me getting stuff. I'll pick up some napkins too... :yes: Then its off to the nearest convenience store to stock up on creamers.... :biggrin:
Another way to pick up some budgetary food stuffs is to visit the local horse racing track. An observant frugal gourmet knows that almost everyone that eats a hot dog there throws away the last bite of bun and the hot dog end. 2 hours of rummaging through the waste baskets can reward you with the makings for a nice wienie and dumpling stew! :biggrin:
TIP: pick up the losing betting slips too, since these can be utilized to fuel a fire to cook your stew over!
Hey hadn't thought of that. I'll add that to my route.....Yea, we're eatin' good tonight.... :biggrin:

he he, You'd be surprised how many people load up on condiments, and plastic silverware. :yes: I work at a restaurant and I've literally seen women stuff their purses full. My boss is a witch anyway,and boy if she catches people doing that, she shows no mercy. I've seen her tell a customer who was a repeat offender...." I don't think you need Sweet n Low for that Snacker." Never had that problem with that costumer again. :biggrin: Intimidation is my boss' strong point. :icon_twisted:
I really don't do that but I've seen people who do. They don't understand the owner of the restaurant has to pay for that stuff.
does that mean i should take that jar of horsey sauce back to Arby's
oh, speaking of horsey

NO!!! Absolutely not!!! They may have you arrested for theft, or ban you from the restaurant for life LOL!!!!! My boss was soo tired of people doing that, that she had several repeat offenders banned for life. :spooked: When that happens ,they find out who the person is some how, and that person gets a letter in the mail, stating that they are not to return, to any of their restaurants. :spooked: I'm not sure how they enforce that though. :biggrin:

my victim took time out of his busy schedule for a trip to a big mall for some shopping on saturday. i was in search of jeans. (my lucky pair is looking a more than a little worn...) the local stores never carry my size. i always have to special order the right length... and then wait WEEKS. it's a pain in the arse.
i found 3 new pairs :smitten: they all have potential to be my new favorite pair.
it was a much needed break from life and doctors and CAT scans.
it was a good weekend. and the kids are off school today--so i got to sleep in a little. as soon as the daddy bear crawled out of bed the smallest beastie climbed in.

Tonight, when I was taking my dog Pugsly out to potty, there were 5 Opossums eating on my deck, with my cats. Boy, they were a jolly bunch. One of them was my rescue Opossum Petunia. I raised her for 2 months, when her Mommy abandoned her. I thought I raised her better but, it seems she's running with a gang now. :spooked: I've been mulling over the possibility ,of making them into a singing group, maybe like The Jackson Five, but they'd be The Opossum Five. I can see us touring the country now. We could have a bus just like The Partridge Family. Road tripin' with Opossums!!! GOOD TIMES!!!! :biggrin:
You ain't right. LOL
We could teach them to sing kid music
We could alter the Racoon Song for them
Opposum sleeps in a hollow tree
While the sun shines on you and me.
Sleep, little opossum,

I actually thought nights would be better, but since I have to babysit, I stay tired. :( Then I was off all weekend, until I got a phone call a couple of minutes ago, asking me if I wanted to work down in Indianapolis because they have a shortage this weekend. So I have to work 9 - 7 tonight, and 9-2 tomorrow night. I couldn't turn it down, I have a house payment to catch up, so I can start working on my utilities. Then I'm scheduled here Mon - Thur. and wednesday it's the 9 -7 shift, so I have no idea how I'm going to stay awake and cook my Thanksgiving dinner. :( So Sleepless in Anderson, I am.

It seems her music has changed a lot over the years. I like her music, but I can't sing it, because I can't hit the high notes. :no: I like music I can sing along to,and have it sound good. Bette Midler's music, is some of my favorite songs to sing. I must confess, that I sing R.Kelley's "I believe I can Fly" very loudly in the shower. :spooked: I haven't cracked a mirror yet.

That song was featured on "Space Jam", which came out when my son was small and we bought the video. My daughter fell in love with it and would play that over and over again. She just did it for the song and I used to get misty eyed over it hoping that she was truly taking it all in and believing it.

Yeah, it looked like a humongous bruise, it was all the way to the bone. When I put it on to bake, it looked fine. It smelled fine too. The bad spot was in the breast. We surmised, that the turkey may have been abused in life. Usually, normal spoilage starts in the top layers, and works its way down. I've decided I'm not baking a turkey again. I had a fiasco last year,and now this. :rolleyes: No more turkey cooking for Dex. :no:
awwww dex, so sorry. maybe cook turkey again, and take that one back to the market
when you tell them about it, do it really loud so people hear it when you do.
throw a fit.
tell them to give you back your money and give you new turkey too.
and some beer.
ask for beer, dex.
give me a call, we will tip those bud lites and sing ritual christmas songs at the top of our lungs while wearing grinch jammies and santa hats.
maybe we can unwind some tangled lights. make a great day.....
Maybe a tumor? Doesn't that effect tissues similar to rot?

I almost shit bricks when I saw it LOL!!! It never ends for me. It's one thing after another. :rolleyes: Speaking of the Grinch...... I'm a huge fan of his. I have a stuffed Grinch that's 6 feet tall. :yes: Sometimes at Christmas, I strap him in the seatbelt, and drive him around in my car. :spooked: The look on peoples faces, when I stop at stop lights is priceless. At first they look shocked, then they grin and wave. When I worked at McDonald's, I used to take him to work with me once in a while. Now this is a secret, so don't tell anybody...... I have a little stuffed Grinch in a Santa suit, that I sleep with everynight. It's kind of like Radar, and his teddy bear, but it's Dex and the Grinch LMAO!!! Maybe, we could get the Grinch drunk when we have those beers. :yes: I bet he'd really cut loose. :yes: :biggrin:

That would be so much fun! We used to play a drinking game in college called Grinch. It's kinda like "Hey Bob", we'd watch "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" and every time they said, "who" you had to take a drink. It was a double every time you saw the Grinch's dog. We made that rule up 'coz he was so mean to the dog, it was meant as a drunken person's tribute to the poor little thing. :biggrin:

Well, he'll definately be a beautiful dog, that's for sure. :yes:
He has stolen my heart, Dex. He actually looks like that now, just a lil' smaller version and he lets his tongue hang over his teeth and bottom lip, like he's going to do a raspberry. LOL
Oh, I'm going to check out a cat rescue this week. Someone was telling me about it and they allow younger children to help out there and I think Lil' Mojo would love it.
I miss the family dog so bad I cry sometimes. But he loved my wife and was dying of a broken heart when she abandoned us. I talked her into taking him with her because he would just mope around the house for days whenever she would come around for some of her stuff or to gloat and then leave. He would set by the door and when outside just set in the yard looking down the road waiting on her.
So she took him and I hate it. She's left him with some idiot guys who I can tell have abused him. When I did get to visit with him, he was all over me and very happy and would set under my chair like he would at home. But when I would reach down to pet him, he would snap at me, then realize it was me, then lick my hand to say he was so sorry.
I know he's had it rough because I trained him to bite anyone that comes near her. I did that back before we had problems so that he could protect her when I wasn't around. He wouldn't let anyone near her and was growly at me sometimes if he thought I was up to no good around her. I bet he's nipped a few guys that got too close to her and the dumb broad then left him with them. These scumbuckets would hurt him I am sure.
It's just all so stinking wrong.

Wow, that's a great idea PIYA. :yes: It sounds like Benji is a great little dog. :biggrin:
Lex, is there any way you can get him back? If she left him with somebody else, that means she didn't want him anymore, maybe that person would give him back to you. :yes: Just a thought. :smile:

I discovered when I was in the service that drinking on planes was GREAT! One particular trip from Hawaii to San Fran they had the lack of good sense to let me and some Navy NCO into the booze cart. The trick is to pick out someone on the plane that stands out and follow them to the baggage. There was some lady with a huge hat with a feather I followed through the airport and lo and behold I found my luggage.
By the time I got to Des Moines it was very simple, mine was the Army dufflebags and the only things left on the spinning luggage thingy. I just waited until everyone got their stuff and "ta da" the remaining was MINE. I can't remember who came and got me at the airport though, but I know I slept in the backseat the 90 miles home. Love those drinking flights.
rookie!!!!!
everyone knows you go the bar across from youir gate and get sh*tfaced before you get on the plane. drinks on the plane are just to keep the buzz.

I bow to your wisdom on this matter for I am over a decade out of practice in said subject.
I think I'm finally defeating this cold, or flu, or whatever it is I have. There's some nasty bugs going around this year. Thank goodness for Alka Seltzer cold plus..the only thing that helps me feel a little better.
I need to get off my butt, and start decorating the house for Christmas. I think I'm putting up my tree today. :yes: GOOD TIMES!!!! :biggrin:
Do you have a "ritual" when you put up your tree? We always put on "Christmas Vacation" to play in the background and we used to make hot cocoa and cookies, but here it's usually too warm for the hot cocoa, so we do milk instead. Although, if it stays as chilly as it has been then I'll be making some delicious homemade hot cocoa this year.

Usually, our Christmas tree ritual is us bitching, and belly aching,and saying things like, "Why the hell do we do this to ourselves each year?" LMAO!!! I'm kidding, we did that last night, when we went to Walmart,to buy lights to decorate our yard. LOL!!! :rolleyes: I usually decorate the tree by myself. I'm extremely particular on how I want things done. :spooked: Really, it's an obsession. I think I've got some kind of disorder LOL!!! Things have to match,and be perfectly centered,and I don't like uneven numbers. I think I have obsessive compulsive disorder. :rolleyes: I don't know how my husband stands me sometimes. :no: Ya know, that perfect Christmas that Chevy tries to achieve? I'm that way to an extent on EVERYTHING I do. :spooked: :rolleyes:
I'd drive you absolutely crazy then. :biggrin: I let the kids decorate the tree and I supervise a little and after they go to bed I move a thing or two around to places w/out anything, but for the most part, it's their creation. I don't think I have more than two ornaments that match and much of my decoration is things that little fingers have made over the years. This year, I'm getting a fresh start on decorations and I'll let my daughter choose, but I secretly hope for multi color...the more the better...except the lights. I like white lights on a tree, but it's up to her. Now packages...I buy way more wrapping paper than I need because I like lots of different patterns under a tree.
I had a friend who would buy all the same paper and went as far as to wrap over gifts she was given so they'd match under the tree.

I refuse to use multicolored lights. The strands have to be one color. Although... last year we bought a fiber optic tree,and its lights are multicolored *ugh*. This year, we're doing our outside lights in green and clear. Last year it was blue and clear,and 2 years ago, it was red and clear. My tree ornaments are "Country Kitchen' from Lakeside Collection,and I do add gingerbread cookie ornaments. Cookies and kitchens just go together you know? He he, your friend sounds completely crazy,even worse than me,and I didn't know that was possible LMAO!!! :biggrin:

Exactly the way I do things too. Except doesn't look like I'm doing the tree decorating thing. I would have to be back in my house by 12/11 and I don't see it happening. Instead, my daughter will have her tree with the O/C thing that Dex has. LOL
I need to get busy with decorating!
i nap and the tree fairy comes. when i wake up. it is allllll done. and lit. Matter of fact, so am I.........
I love Jack
he loves me
helps me lose my
memory
when he's with me
i dont have a care
makes me forget
you were ever there
(to the tune of this old man)
you know, men confuse me. godawful creatures.
i just give up!!!!!!!!!!
think i will just go to peru and mine for diamonds.
It's so early in the morning!
It's a fairly decent hour now.
An even more decent hour. Great for peace and quiet, now that the kids are in Sunday School. :)
No better place to send them pariann. Good choice.
It's been snowing here for a couple hours!!! No accumulation though. :no:

Now through 01:30 PM EST November 26, 2007
Showers over northern Indiana will decrease to isolated showers by 130 PM. Rainfall amounts during this time should be around one tenth of an inch.
Today
Occasional rain. Nearly steady temperatures in the upper 30s to around 40. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph shifting to the northwest 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

I'm not ready for Winter. The worse thing for me is bad roads. I hate driving on bad roads,and I worry constantly about Hubby, because he drives to the Windy everynight. :spooked: Last year, we had a storm, and they closed down the interstate, and people (including Hubby) were stranded there for 10 hours. Then he had to stay at a motel, because he ran out of driving hours. What a pain in the ass. :no: The company he drives for, doesn't allow call ins for bad weather, so, if he has to walk in snow shoes, or hire a helicopter, no matter what, he has to be there. :no:

But it's not. I can't get anyone to understand that inside the tent it feels fine. I even wake up perspiring. There are a few spots where the cool air will come in...but I just put a pillow over it when it bothers me, and it's fine.
I can't sit up any longer...later.

I gotta tent heater that runs on propane fuel. I heats our 3 room tent quite nicely during cold weather.
I didn't know that people actually tent in the Winter. :no: I learn something new everyday. Looks like I got a new wrinkle, in my pea brain today. :biggrin:
I just heard a loud bang outside but I don't see where it came from. I hope it wasn't someone getting shot in a house or something! I'm so crazy in the brain. That was my first thought!

It is hunting season here too. I'm sort of in the sticks. I am guessing it was something on the road that I didn't see but it wasn't an accident. There were no sirens at least.
Hubby and I want to get a new kitty. I think it's time. Our siamese died almost two years ago. I loved him so much and couldn't bear 'replacing' him, but I think it's time now.

Thank God your car didn't explode LOL!!! I bet it was hunters. Use caution when you're out in your yard. Most of them don't have a clue about gun safety. :rolleyes: Tonight, on the local news, they did a story about a teenage guy, that shot himself in the foot. :spooked: Jesum Crow, it's scary to know, people that stupid can carry a weapon of any sort. :no: :spooked:

It takes time to heal from the loss of a pet. Yesterday, I was devastated to see that Champs rose bush is withering and dying. It sounds stupid, but I cried when I saw it. :'( I've got a thread about Champ over in my section. She was a very special kitty. :yes:

So, it's still out there stalking the cats. As long as it doesn't ram the car or house,or kill the cats, I've got no problem with it. LOL!!!

Cache! I just saw...100%?!? Wow! that's fantastic. So, you're changing careers?
Nope, not changing, just keeping a backup. I've been a certified pharmacy tech for almost 10 years. I've kept my certification up even though I no longer work in pharmacy. There is no way I want to take that certification test over! I would like to get back into it someday. For now, I'm just covering my back in case something happens with the insurance thing. :)
:smile:
Pharmacy certification is nationwide.... my insurance license is state specific. If I keep hounding my hubby about moving to Tennessee, at least I'll have a certification for that state to use. Seeee??? There is a method to my madness. :biggrin2:

It wouldn't take much for me to try to talk you into it. I love it here. The constant sunshine and good weather is a huge mood elevator. I don't get any of the winter time blues. I miss the snow, but I don't miss the aftermath. Housing is expensive here. Utilities comparable to where I lived in Baltimore. But living here is the pay off. There's so much to do. It seems like there's something going on almost all the time, especially on weekends and a lot of it is free or cheap. Then there's always the beach or mountains :smitten: I'd be happy to keep talkin' if you ever think you'd be serious about moving here. I'm not opposed to moving elsewhere, because I like new experiences, but if I never leave, I won't be disappointed.

It depends. If she lives in Los Angeles County then she's a couple hours north of me. If she lives in Santa Clara County then it's about 7 hours.
I didn't realize there are two Burbanks in Cali.

Don't you like Ahnold T.? :biggrin2:
Actually, I like him. He doesn't tow the party lines on issues such as environment and health care and I like his backbone on the GOP electoral vote issue. I can't speak for all Californians and since I only moved here a couple years ago, he's the only Governor I've known in California, but I don't have any complaints. I have to say that I'm surprised though. I didn't expect an actor to take the position so seriously. I don't know why, stereotype I guess.

I don't follow the political goings ons anyway, but I've always liked him as an actor. :yes: "True Lies" was my favorite movie he did. :yes:

He's been on the sidelines of politics for years. Related to the kennedy's via marriage, I'm sure he couldn't avoid it. I would think being that close to a political family would have an influence on his thinking.
Yes ,but the Kennedy's are Democrats and he is a Republican. I wonder how that goes in the Kennedy household. I like him and I am sure most in Cailifornia(way he says it).LOL
I didn't really know his party affiliation, just that he's been exposed to politics for years, it would make sense it would rub off. Especially after so many have went from acting celebrity to political celebrity and vice versa.

Actually, his wife wanted to separate herself completely from politics. When there were rumors that he he wanted to run, originally, there were also rumors that she was unhappy and really tried to talk him out of it. She ended up supporting her husband. That's not to say that he wasn't exposed to it, but whatever the reason, I think he made a good choice.
How do you do media journalism and separate yourself from politics? I didn't think it could be done.

She's not a political figure. You can report it w/out being involved in it. She recently retired from journalism altogether because she doesn't approve of the way the media is going. She had taken a leave of absence to be first lady, but has decided that the ethics of broadcast news and the exploitation of events the Anna Nicole fiasco being her example are not what she originally committed to.
Well good for her then.

To get me to go into Wally World it would take a huge sale. Don't know why but I never have liked to go to Wal-Mart. I shop online there sometimes but don't like the store itself.
Happy New Year!
Could someone please pass the peas?
but my random comment is:
the dog ate a bag of bagels. he got them out of the breadbox, took off the wrapper, and had a feast.
paid him back. ate his treats! darned dog.
(german shepherd)
Woulda been really strange if he would have toasted them first. I could understand him not putting peanut butter on them, though. Sticks to the roof of a dog's mouth. Ever feed them a little? :smile:
As to eating his treats............you haven't started scratching behind your ears with your feet or barking, right? :biggrin: :biggrin:
lol i love peanut butter. and have given it to my mothers little dogs. she caught me. sooo funny. worth the wrath

We're going to watch the Opossum drop, at midnight on TV Land. There doing a Beverly Hillbillies marathon. At midnight the Opossum, slides down the pole, and drops ringing in the new year. :rolleyes:
Then they make possum pie for the first meal of the new year! :biggrin:
ummm.........AFTER they make sure the possum is really dead, and not just.......wellllll.......you know.........ah, playing dead.
Otherwise, the pie could get REAL interesting.

We raised a baby one in our house for several months, and I never did see Petunia play dead. Do they really play dead? I've never seen one do it. :smile:
i had one try to eat my face off when i found it in the under-the-sink-cabinet... it wasn't interested in playing dead... lol... i was like, "damn, you fierce!" lol.
Most people don't realize it, but Opossums are very docile creatures. :yes: They are very laid back. It would take a lot to anger one, and I've never seen one get angry. We have about 10 or 15, that come here to my house at night. They're always well behaved, but they scare very easily. They get along very well with Pugsly, and the cats. They sit and eat out of the food dish with the cats. They look scary as hell the first time you see them. The first time I came across one out on my deck, it scared me sooo bad, I screamed, ran back in the house, almost shit my pants, and had a heart attack. :spooked: Needless to say... I freaked out!!! But, I'm much better now. :wacko: Anywho..... They're real pretty up close, unless they open their mouths real wide. They have 2 rows of very sharp, jagged teeth, that I'm sure they could do serious damage with. :spooked:

Yeah, they do, but only when they are terrified to the point where they are convinced their teeth and claws won't be an adequate defense. Usually, though, they'll just claw and bite the he!! out of whatever is stupid enough to bother it. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Actually, I saw an Opossum play dead once. I had gone into our basement where our wood furnace was for something and I saw it's eyes first. I thought it was a huge rat. I called mom who ran out there w/a poker and it just plopped right over. She picked up the box it was resting in (which was piled w/paper and loose stuff to help w/the fire) and tossed it outside. Later that day, it was gone.
Teeth versus poker...hummm... smart Opossum :biggrin: Honestly, I think had it been a rat, it would have been a goner, but she had her chance with the Opossum and let it go.

LOL!!!! My hubby quit smoking 10 years ago today. He smoked 3 packs a day. In the Winter, he'd choke, and cough, and spit up black stuff, everytime he went outside. One morning he went to light up, and he thought about it for a minute, and said to himself" I'm not doin' this shit to myself anymore", and threw the pack out the window, and has never had one since. It takes great strength to quit cold turkey like that, and I'm sooo proud of him. :yes:
Last year I resolved to never make any future resolutions in an inebriated state or otherwise; therefore this year I drank about 8 Guinness, several shots of Patron, and about a dozen or so Jello shots before the NY arrived, assuring I was not in the correct state of mind to make such a drastic decision! :biggrin:

I have the best husband ever!!! One of my things I wanted to do before I die, was to see Rod Stewart in concert. I woke this morning...got my coffee and settled down in front of the computer to read my emails and read the boards that I belong to. My second email...I thought someone had hacked my credit card. There was a charge on there for 2 Rod Stewart concert tickets for February 1 in Hollywood Florida. I freaked....thought my card had been hacked. Then hubby says...Happy Valentine's Day early!! I cried and jumped up and hugged him......then wondered how I was gonna get there. I have never flown and have no inkling to do so. So we talked my son and his wife into going with us...they said they needed time away from the cold :biggrin:...and we are gonna drive down there. Oh my GOD!!! I am gonna go see the one person I have always wated to see in concert thanks to my very loving husband....who said he would do anything for me. This proves it!!! What a hubby I have!!!
That really is a very thoughtful thing for him to do. :yes:

You can't imagine. :no: I live in the boonies,and in the Winter it can be a real nightmare. Don't get me wrong, I was born and raised in the country. I've lived in a couple of very small towns, and have vowed never to do that again. One of the biggest problems, when you're out in the middle of nowhere, is there is nothing around to break the wind. There are more power outages, and blowing, and drifting snow causes real problems. Luckily, we put in a full house generator last Summer, so power outages aren't a real problem for us now. The drifting snow however is a major problem this year. Right now, we have drifts around the house 4-5 feet tall. The Corolla doesn't like drifts at all LOL!!! It's crazy, but we have a Toyota Tundra Off Road, it's a 4 wheel drive, and it's no match, for the weather conditions we've had this year. This is the worst Winter we've had for a very long time. So, I'm ready for the warm weather. :sun: I would imagine that February and March, will be a real treat for us. :rolleyes:

What do birds have to do with it PH? :confused:
Last night, at about 5:00, an elderly lady crashed through the KFC I work at. I wasn't there at the time. I guess she pulled up in her parking spot, and instead of hitting the break, she hit the gas pedal, and crashed through the building. There was extensive damage. It took out a huge plate glass window,and tore the outside wall to the foundation. This is exactly why, after a certain age, elderly people should be tested every year to get their DL. :yes:

It took out a huge plate glass window,and tore the outside wall to the foundation. This is exactly why, after a certain age, elderly people should be tested every year to get their DL. :yes:
Maybe she took "drive thru" literally? :biggrin: Seriously though, was she hurt?
Looks like one of the "blue hairs" got to Dex too. :biggrin:

No, nobody got hurt. She was sooo upset, and my boss tried to comfort her by saying, "Ya know, we do have a drive thru, around the other side of the building." My boss was joking with her, and when she said that, the little old lady cried harder. My boss told her "it's just a building, thank God nobody got hurt." Luckily, nobody was sitting in the 2 tables in front of that window. It could have been much worse. :spooked:

I'm glad I wasn't working when it happened. My boss said they had to close the dining room, because glass flew everywhere. What a mess! :rolleyes:
One time, when I was working at McDonald's, we had something similar happen. Those awnings in the drive thru state a 9 feet clearance for a reason. A guy drove up under one one day and you guessed it, tore the awning right off the building. One end hung up on his truck, and the other end crashed on to the pavement. It almost flew through the drive thru window. :spooked: When it fell, it shook the whole building. Why is it that people never take in to consideration that, that stuff is posted for a reason? :rolleyes:
Your boss is right...this time :icon_twisted: ... the important thing is that no one was hurt. The rest of it is exactly why insurance was created. It doesn't sound like you were there, but I did get a laugh out of the mental picture of you actually being there and yelling "Jesum Crow!" when she came through the wall. :biggrin:

I had a friend who worked at a Burger King right off the interstate. 24 Hour businesses around there were always getting robbed and I think it's because they were so close to the highway. Anyway, she worked the overnight shift and two guys came in about 3 a.m., robbed them, made them strip to their underwear :spooked: and made them go in the fridge which he locked or something so they couldn't get out. They were in there until the next crew came in. I'm not sure if anybody wondered why the place was deserted or not. It was so late at night, maybe they didn't have any customers.
Can you imagine facing your co-workers the next day after spending a couple hours w/them in your underwear? :biggrin:
OMG!!! I don't think I'd be able to go back. The fear of being robbed again would be bad, but I think facing people that saw me in my underware, would be much,much worse LMAO!!! :yes:

I probably would have LOL!!!I might have said, "That did not just happen!!" I say that a lot too. LOL!!! :biggrin: I'm really bad when I get caught off guard. I say "Ooooh sh*t!!!" a lot. I've done that before when waiting on a customer. :spooked: It's kind of like when Robin Williams says "Ooooh sh*t!!! in Mrs Doubtfire.

It's a department of defense and government contractor term. When someone is placed in a dangerous area to work, they earn extra money for it.
In the case of the government it would be someplace like Iraq, Northern South Korea, etc. I guess in private industry....it would be KFC considering people are driving through walls. :biggrin:
It's fairly hilly and mountainous here and we have people driving into houses fairly regular. :yes:
I guess that is like my mom would get a MILLION dollars if I am killed at school. If I'm killed at work I am worth more than if I live to be 100! haha

We've always got somebody smashing through walls in this area. :rolleyes: We've had elderly people take out gas pumps at the gas station. :spooked: No explosions thank God. A couple of years ago, a guy blacked out while he was driving, and he ran though an intersection ,and smashed into a bed and breakfast, that was a historical mansion. What a mess!! :no:

That comment reminded me of "It's a Wonderful Life". :biggrin:
Where I used to live, a train hit a car that was sitting on the tracks, because the owner (who happened to be elderly) had fallen asleep. Luckily, it happened in the middle of town, so the train was going slower and only damaged the car before it was able to stop. The question is, why was this man taking a nap, in the middle of town, on the train tracks, mid afternoon? :spooked:
One time ,a guy on a crotch rocket, kept weaving through traffic, and somebody breaked in front of him. :spooked: He lost control, and crashed through the double doors of an insurance agency. It decapitated him, and when he flew off, he hit the wall, and the handle bars went through his stomach, and impailed him. :spooked: :no:
One day a gal working at Dairy Queen ,had just gotten off of work, and came flying out of the drive thru, and T boned a Corvette. It threw the Corvette on it's side, and the guy in the passenger's seat got his ear cut off. :spooked: When will people ever learn to slow down? :rolleyes:

Old couple at another old couples house for dinner. After dinner the old ladies go into the kitchen to do the dishes and clean up. One old guy says to the other, "We went to a real nice place last night to eat. I would highly recommend it" Other old guy says, "Oh yeah, where was that?" First old guy says, ". What is the name of that flower you give someone you love, the one with the pretty petals and the thorns?"
Friend says, "Rose?" "Yep, that's it", the first old man says. He turns toward the kitchen and yells, "Hey Rose, where did we go eat last night?"

I wasn't really being adult I was just aggravating PH but don't tell him that.... :biggrin:
I'm being stalked by a sadistic tom cat. :spooked: He's a stray that showed up after we moved here. He's always been a little asshole, but this time he's gone too far. He has run a lot of my cats off, over the past couple of years. This morning he jumped at hubby, after he put the truck in the garage. He literally jumped him when he came out the door. I guess hubby chased him around the yard, but didn't catch him LOL!!! Tonight, he was lying in wait ,when I came out of the cat barn, I had been in there feeding, and playing with them, and just lovin' them up. :smitten: Well, I had NO idea he was waiting for me outside the door. :spooked: I stepped out of the door, and tossed my water jugs, and feeding pans on the ground, so I could latch the door. All of a sudden, I hear this growling sound, and came to realize I was NOT alone. :spooked: So, I spun around, and there he was sitting there in the dark. I almost shit my pants. :yes: I could tell by his growl that something was not right. I didn't want to turn my back on him, because I was fearful he might jump on me. So, I stopped and said, "Jesum Crow Slim Shady!!! You scared the hell out of me!!!" So what does he do? He snarls, and growls, and starts walking towards me. :o So, I kept walking backwards REAL FAST, and broke in to a backwards run,and headed to the house. I don't think he followed me.
I have to keep an eye out ,because Pugsly is tied out, and I don't want to him to hurt the little old man. :smitten: I've got a broom, a 45,and a Derringer at the ready, if he knows what's good for him, he won't pull anymore of that crap tonight LMAO!!! Needless to say, he's likely to make friends with that 45, if he doesn't straighten up in the next few days. He has had ample opportunities to fly right. :yes:

Can cats get rabies? Sounds like odd behavior for a cat. Even the evil ones usually keep their distance. At first I thought...maybe he's seeing how well the other cats are treated and is kinda jealous, but that sounds dangerous, Dex.

Yes, cats can get Rabies. I'm watching for symptoms. I think he's just demented LOL!!! He's always been somewhat aggressive. He's getting old,and he looks like hell. He has more scratches ,and scars than any cat, I've ever seen. Half of one of his ears has been lost in battle. He limps ,and carries one of his back paws. He has come here before ,with his nose ripped down the middle, and bleeding profusely. He is a scrapper LOL!!! He has chased off a lot of my tom cats, and hubby is convinced, he not only ran them off, but killed them also. :spooked: Hell, we've got 6 generations of his kittens. :spooked: He's a real ladies man. :rolleyes: He's just bad news all the way around. :no:
LOL he adds meaning to the term "tom cattin' around" :biggrin: I guess the lady cats like the bad boys. ;D

I think she was starting her radiation this week? She has shown more courage and class through this entire ordeal, than I have ever seen anybody in the same situation. I wonder if she's in the hospital? I used to have her e mail address, but I can't find it. :stupid2:

This is awesome!!!! Today, I went to Walmart, and got 2 12 packs of Mello Yello. I was incredibly thrilled, then it got better.... the cashier that rung me up, got flustered with the woman ahead of me, by the time she rang me up, she was so frazzled, that she didn't ring up my Mello Yello. I didn't realize it, till I got to my car, and looked my receipt over. I've been over charged sooo many times there, it was nice to be on the other side for a change LOL!!! :biggrin:

Yea Dex.... :egypt: (wouldn't normally say that but Walmart is well known for overcharging)
There is one of the Kroger stores here in town that I watch pretty close because sale things don't always ring up right. The good thing is if you catch it you get whatever it is free.

I'm pretty honest about things as a general rule. If I'd seen her not ring it up, I would have brought it to her attention. :yes: One day, when I cashed my check at the bank, the lady gave me $1 too much. I put it back in the tube, and sent it back in. Another cashier walked by, and saw me still sitting there, and asked if she could help me, I told her I was given a dollar too much. She asked who my cashier was, and I said I didn't know. I didn't want somebody to get in trouble. :no: She says the name is on the bottom of your receipt. :spooked: I said" I can't find it", and she says "Ooooh she didn't give you one of those either?' I'm thinking to myself ... Jesum Crow!!! :spooked: What kind of trouble, have I gotten that poor woman into? :spooked: So, I promptly found it, and gave them her name. At least I salvaged the receipt part. :rolleyes: They thanked me profusely. I've had customers give me too much, and always give it back to them. :yes:

I'm the same way. If I find money and especially if I think it was some kids money, like in a kids purse or something, and there is no way to find out who it belongs to I'll drop it in a Kettle if its Christmas time or save it back and give it to some kind of charity if it amounts to anything over a dollar.

Cruise Ship
A Sailing for Every Interest
It used to be that "singles" cruises were as exciting as the options got for specialty cruises. Not any more: It seems that no matter your interests or affiliations, there's a theme cruise for you. Here are some of the more unusual and noteworthy specialty sailings for 2008:
Nude Cruises
Yup, there is such a thing! Bare Necessities Tour and Travel is hosting a 7-day clothing-optional cruise to Greece aboard the Star Clipper in September 2008. Rates start at $1,920 per person. If cruising au natural in Europe tickles your fancy, Castaways Travel (warning NUDE photos) plans a nude Danube River cruise in Germany in July of 2008. Just enough time to decide what not to wear! Bonus: Hey, nude cruises really solve many packing dilemmas!
ataraxis... hmm. (it means peace of mind, calmness...) i need to write a masterpiece.
and i need a title for the next book (i haven't even come close to starting).

Me either. :icon_twisted: On another forum tonight, somebody posted a link to the Globe magazine website. It said that he was stabbed, but to me it looked like the date on it, was back in November? I hadn't heard anything about it happening then, or now. The article said Richard Ramirez was tired of SP claiming they were friends. The guy that killed Polly Klass was also supposedly friends with SP. He almost died of a drug overdose about six months ago. I remember one of those child killers got stabbed, but it wasn't SP. It sure would save tax dollars, if they all killed each other LOL!!! :icon_twisted:

He was 28. They said, he has been battling pneumonia recently. Of course everybody is saying drug overdose, or suicide. I hate it when people jump to conclusions like that. Once those rumors get started, they spread like wild fires. :rolleyes:

It was only a dusting, no accumulation. It's 7:14 pm, and the temperature is a balmy 16*, the wind is a blowin' at 14mph, and the wind chill factor is 1*. Tonight's expected low is 0* and the wind chill factor is expected to be -30*, yes that's -30*.

That's even better! About 48% the audience will be fantasizing about being with you so it won't matter what you say. They will be spellbound. The other 48% will be so envious of you that they will be preoccupied with that thought and never hear a word you say.
Of course there will be the 2 to 4 percent of them that will actually listen close enough to have questions. But that is a real manageable number. :yes:
Hell most of them will either want to be you or just like you when they grow up. It's your time to shine like the star that you are. Step into the spotlight and show them what they want to be. You'll do an outstanding job I am positive! :smile: :yes:

:biggrin: Nope I gave the stuff to a co-worker w/a fish tank.
You are going to be sorry you did that when your Fish and Tank arrive. :wink:
:biggrin:
Maybe not. I'm not a fan of fish. I love animals, but fish are dull to me. I do like a good blackened catfish, grilled Talapia, Tuna or something like that, but in a tank...I just watch them swim and think what a PITA it's going to be to clean the tank. ;D
If it arrives, I'm passing it along too. LOL
Yah just don't know what you are missing PIYA! I LOVE fish, and keeping them has been a hobby of mine since childhood. Tropical fish are a joy to keep, and with today's technological advances nowhere near as much "work" as they used to be.
There's nothing like raising angelfish from tiny little babies to plate sized adults. Neons are absolutely wonderful to watch at night as they school and give off their reflections. And there are nothing like sword-tails and guppies to illustrate to children the wonders of birth.
I find it great fun to set up "your own" little aquatic environment and be able to decide who inhabits it; then watch as nature takes its course within it.
I'm still trying to talk my wife into agreeing to a 150 gallon set-up in our home. I love aquariums and watching the fish can be as relaxing and calming as sitting around a campfire on a summer night. Mesmerizing. :yes:
I think you passed up on some positive karma sent your way girl! :yes:

Remember, PIYA, that famous quote:
Give me a fish and I eat for a day.
Give me a fish tank with a bunch to raise and I'll starve to death before they get big enough to eat.

We got our Labrador in PA (near Lancaster) from a Mennonite family. I assume they were Mennonite because the man was leaving the property when we arrived, in his buggy, talking on a cell phone. ;D
How the heck do they decide what technology is okay to use?

There are different "sects" for lack of a better word. Different groups have different ideals on technology. Some believe minimal use of technology such as electricity, and vehicles is OK. Some groups are totally against the modern conveniences.The Amish are pretty anti technology. For the most part they drive the horse and buggies,and their farm equipment is mostly man powered. Mennonites... and I'm not totally sure about this.... do have vehicles and do use more of the modern conveniences, but they are very conservative in the way they dress and act. The person who I'm POSITIVE would be able to tell us more about this is Dan Foster. Paging Dan Foster... paging Dan Foster.... come in Dan... :sos:

So it's all just politics.
The elders interpret the word of god for the rest of the congregation (to some degree).
Kind of like church elders who control lives in other churches.
Of course the flock can't be allowed to think/interpret for itself...or so it seems...
What did I say. Politics. :wink:
Well, we've decided to purchase beneficial insects this year. Gardening time is just around the corner. We priced some different insects today. We're definitely getting Lady Bugs, Praying Mantis egg sacks, and some microscopic worms called Nematodes? I guess you're suppose to store them in the refrigorator, until you want them to hatch. The Lady Bugs come to you hatched, but dormant. The Praying Mantis eggs cannot be out of the refrigerator, until we have 70* or higher temperatures. I've always wanted to raise Praying Mantis' from egg to release. They have a very short life span. I think it's going to be really neat,and hopefully it will help the insect problems, we've had out here. :yes:
Wow, I've never thought of people raising insects on purpose. LOL Well, 'cept the Silence of the Lambs guy. ;D

When we first moved here there were a lot of Praying Mantis'. Last year we only had a couple,and the bug situation was horrible well into the Fall. We had HUGE spiders in the basement and yard, mosquitoes,and swarms of flies outside. I attribute that to the fact of not having any Praying Mantis' out there. They eat all kinds of insects. Nematodes is the name of the microscopic worms I referred to earlier. I guess they eat fly larvae, flea eggs, and a bazillion more pesty bugs. We haven't had any problems with fleas (which is a damn miracle),but it would be beneficial to keep them at bay,if they do decide to invade our yard. I can't wait to order them. I've always wanted to see Praying Mantis hatchlings. :biggrin:

We never ever use any kind of poisons in our yard, because of my cats. We have the house sprayed every year, because the house had some termite activity before we bought it. It was treated,and we have it inspected,and treated once a year. The stuff they spray it with is safe for human consumption. We would never use something, we thought would endanger animals ,or the environment. That's just not cool IMO. :biggrin:

My cat is FINALLY having her kittens!!! For about 2 weeks, I've thought she was going to deliver ,and she hadn't. She just kept getting BIGGER and BIGGER. She started having them at 4:30 this aftrenoon, and right now the count is 2. She is still HUGE though. I hope she's just a water retaining sea cow, but I fear something more sinister is in the works. :spooked: Like maybe she's gonna have a dozen. :spooked: YIKES!!! :o HELP ME RHONDA!!!! :eek:
It's 7:49 and the kitten count is at 5. I hope she's done, but it doesn't look like it. :rolleyes:
How is the kitten count going?

It's 10:20pm and the count is 5. I think she's done, but I'm not positive. Her belly still feels hard,so there may be more in there. I'll know more in the morning. Her and all 5 kittens are doing great.She is taking very good care of them. I'm relieved, because most of the first time Mama kitties, don't have much maternal instinct, so that is a real big plus. Maybe, I'll luck out ,and not have to bottle feed any of them this time. *fingers crossed* :biggrin:
Glad to hear it went well and she's being a good mother to them. :yes: Hope you don't get up in the morning to more. :o

We never even find a mouse turd anywhere. In the country mice, and rodents can be a real problem, but not here,thanks to the cats. I see them with mice,mostly torturing the live ones,and playing with the dead ones. :rolleyes: If I look out the window ,and see a bunch of them in a circle staring at something, it's usually some helpless victim of some sort. It could be a mouse,a bird,a snake,or insect of some kind. Anything that moves is fair game to a cat. :yes: They are good for keeping the rodent population down. I hate it when they kill birds, baby ground squirrels,and baby rabbits though. :'(

Here's an idea. Some evening when you and hubby are both scheduled to be home for the night, and don't have to go to work first thing in the morning, get all your animals fed and cared for. Then run off to a motel. One good nights sleep could do you both a world of good. :wink:

Okay I've mowed for the first time this year. What is really stupid is whoever lived here before me must have just bought any old grass seed and threw it around. For the most part I have Bermuda and it is still brown and dormant. But right smack in the middle of my gigantic back yard it is just as big and green as it can be!! It grows in clumps. Would that be fescue? I kinda like the idea of my back yard staying green year round. The front can stay dormant!
I noticed last week that my tulips had sprouted. I'm thinking of, at some point building on to the house where they grow. I hope I can manage to dig them up and transplant them when the time comes, without damaging them.

I said i wanted a cabin coffee, he said, well how about: "***"
I said sure, why not. Was the best thing I ever drank,

In my defense, he had his hair in a long pony tail, he was tall, and incredibly young and cute.
I think he said yes.
Oh no Damfast - it is never a good idea to troll for dates at the IHOP! :razz: But at least it is a step up from the Waffle House.

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
at the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye or even
Hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other

The vet isn't sure what caused it, but he said it could be a birth defect, or maybe a tumor. I have to take the ba ba away at 10:00 tonight. I think it's going to be a very loooong night. :wink:
So I'm sitting here at the pool and several adults are in the pool playing with their kids. It starts to sprinkle a bit of rain and they all haul ass out of the pool. Why? They're already wet so what's the big deal about a few drops of rain? :confused:
yippee! the flyers beat the caps! (i knew they would...) i even ran upstairs to pet my lucky jersey... lol... :smitten:

I would argue that Florida is.

Well here in the south, they had to obtain fans any way they could think. This was just one way! We also give away a John Deere Tractor at the games. I shouldn't poke fun. I secretly wish I would win it at every game I go to!!

That is close. I'm surprised some of the sound don't penetrate through the windows.
My eyes are itchy today! GRRRR pollen! :mad:
I had unexpected company this morning. I hate unexpected company. :mad: It was my Dad. My house is very clean compared to normal standards, but my Dad is a clean house freak. Of course I wasn't expecting him, so by his standards my house was probably a wreck. I always tell people.... call before you come, but Dad just usually shows up out of the blue. Then I sit around and stew, about whether my house was clean enough for him LOL!!! :biggrin:
I used to be like that but I would rather be out in the yard in the summer so the house suffers. It isn't actually dirty but it isn't actually spotless either.
Puhleeze, I don't worry about it at all. My house your problem. :biggrin: Seriously, I keep my home clean, but I have a dog and a kid and at times it's not as neat as I'd like it, but the way I see it, she'll remember the fun things we do together more than whether the house was spotless or not. So, if you (general term) drop in on me unexpectedly and if I'm actually home, you may have to move a book, newspaper or dog to sit down, but we love company. If that offends you then I guess you won't be back. ;D
^^My thoughts exactly.... :yes: Don't have to worry 'bout movin' a dog here though 'cause we don't have one....lol
My Dad judges people by how clean their house is. He doesn't approve of my cats either. He thought I ought to have had the kitten euthanized, instead of spending a bunch of money, on tests and surgery. He really doesn't get me at all. :no:
The way I see it, that's still his problem. Dex you're happy and you're taking care of those kitties/cats when no one else will. That's a very loving and kind thing to do. Maybe he'd like to judge, but from where I sit he's not looking at what's important. My MIL was that way. I loved her dearly and she and I got along great. Of course I wanted her approval, but I had to learn to get over it, because if everything was perfect, she'd still find something I didn't do right. I don't have to deal w/that any more, but I got over it quick. I had to recognize that was the way she was and not let it get to me.

You're absolutely right PIYA. I don't know why I crave approval from my Dad. In a way, I've had to be the golden child. My sister is sooooo messed up, that I feel a sense of pressure to make my Dad happy. He told me today, I should get rid of my cats, and adopt a child. :rolleyes: I can't have any of my own, and at this point I don't want any. When I was a kid, Dad use to tell me the 2 worst things you can do in life, is get married and have children. That always made me feel reeeeeal good. :rolleyes: I grew up knowing I wasn't wanted. I always thought I was adopted LOL!!!! :biggrin:
i always wished i had been adopted. i still try to tell my siblings i was... they won't believe me.

I just brought the sun tea in, and I'm going to have a glass, after I finish my Mello Yello. I bought this real cool glass tea dispenser, but it's more for use when you're having a party. You fill it with tea ,and put slices of lemon, or lime, or some other fruit slices, and it sits in a black iron rack. It probably sits a foot off the counter,and the jar is probably almost 2 feet tall. It has a spigot to dispense the tea with. It's cool ,and I got it at Dillard's for only $30, it was on clearance. Whether or not I'll ever use it, I don't know, but it looks cool as hell on my counter LOL!!!! :biggrin:

I would love to hear more about that. I think Forensics is a very interesting subject. A person can't get away with anything, as long as there's Forensic evidence. Maybe, if they had had Forensics a long time ago, they could have solved some of the older high profile crimes. As advanced as LE has become it's too bad they have never solved the JonBennet Ramsey case. :no:
I was slicing potatoes to cook on the grill tonight, the butcher knife slipped, and cut through the finger nail on my right index finger. It cut it by slicing up under the nail.

I should not be allowed to use anything sharp. :no: From now on it's plastic knives for me LMAO!!! :biggrin:

He should come to you!! I tell you if I was able.....I'd meetup with Aaron, I've always wented to meetup with him. He just doesn't drive dangit. And I'm not going to invest in gas at these prices. And especially after meeting up with the cowboy and him being a dud. I don't want to invest in any more potential duds. Though Aaron has continued to talk to me for 15 whole months. :) I will have to settle for someone around here, if they would just get up off their duff and do something!!!

Gentle thoughts for today.
Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.
When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates
is probably right.
Did you ever notice:
The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are "XL."
If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
There's always a lot to be thankful for If you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
Did you ever notice:
When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together It spells "Theirs?"
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would
like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old
when everything either dries up or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.
First, you forget names,
Then, you forget faces.
Then, you forget to pull up your zipper.
It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed
And beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft.
Today, it's called golf.
Lord,
Please keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth...AMEN.

Neither. After swinging by the scene of the incident it turns out it was not Rocky after all, but none other than our current Nemesis: that damned groundhog! :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
And before one of you smart-butts asks how one confuses a raccoon and a groundhog, when it is flying at you at 50 mph and just 3 feet in front of you when you first spot it. . . think you could tell???? I was too busy swerving and braking to look very closely.
Hence I went for a drive by afterwards, after changing my clothes that were soiled with groundhog guts. . . I got to thinking what in the hell a raccoon was doing out at that time of day. . . If it was a raccoon it had to be sick or rabid. So I went to check it out. . . And I was elated to find I had smote that friggin groundhog! Serves him right for seeing his shadow. :icon_twisted: Made that crunching sound turn from sickening to satisfying. :biggrin:
:biggrin:
I gotta tell Dex!

Thats a good idea. Maybe more companies will start that.
Apple has been doing that for quite some time from what I understand. It is neat.
I'm thinking about taking a picture of that friggin groundhog to post on here. . .
PH.... in all seriousness.... I'm glad you didn't wreck when you hit him. That would have been a final 'screw you' from the little SOB . My husband was on his bike one time late at night, and a giant owl hit the feering on the bike, and he almost dumped it. :spooked: Even something quite small can cause big problems when you're on a bike. :yes:

Yeah. . . Needless to say I was a bit nervous when it happened.
I just took my little puppy with me to take the picture above. We were in the truck and I pulled up to it and stopped, rolled down the window, and my little puppy growled at his ass while I snapped the picture. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
It looks like a beaver without the big chompers LOL!!!! Thank God it died instantly. I've always had a fear that I would hit something,and it would still be alive. I couldn't handle that. :no: It's crazy that something that docile looking could wreak such havoc with the weather LOL!!!! :wink:

It's righteousness is shining
It walks on ruby shoes
There's not too much of nothing
You cannot make it do
I cross the muddy river
To dig a diamond mine
I got a good thing working
On diamond mining time
I got some cotton candy
I got a spool of thread
I'm gonna weave a basket
And put it on my head
Inside the mighty basket
I carry rattlesnakes
You got to be a monkey
To see the sense it makes
:confused:
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
I have seen their information
On the lighter side of dumbness
I have heard the new statistics
And the stomping on the ground
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Waking up from my slumber
To misunderstand another
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hidden there for me
To give meaning to my day
Going down to the desert
To the dirty filthy desert
I'll be crawling through the sand
For at least a couple days
Going down to the desert
ther are things worth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way.
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down

I can mow our 2 acres in an hour. The mowing deck on the Cadet is 54 inches. You have to have a good mower, when you have that much to mow. An acre of it is Hubby's flying field. :rolleyes: It always gets mowed first. To hell with the front yard ,we gotta keep the flying field ready at all times LOL!!! :rolleyes:

I wonder if there was something in the water? When coloring and/or perming your hair ,you have to be really careful of the chemicals, that are in the water supply. Chlorine causes blond hair to turn pale green. It happened to me several times when we had our pool. :yes:

I have the movie.....and when I first started watching it, I thought it was new. Since there is actually a paperback on sale at Payless about the story. As I was watching the beginning of it, it seemed way too familiar. I haven't purchased the book so I knew I hadn't read it about it there. The longer I watched it, the more I just knew I had seen or read it somewhere. So I went looking. In the book Skeleton Crew, which is a compilation of short stories.....the story is in there. So if you already have that book....read it. The story is ALWAYS better than the film.....and it's the same in this case.

The longer I watched it, the more I just knew I had seen or read it somewhere. So I went looking. In the book Skeleton Crew, which is a compilation of short stories.....the story is in there. So if you already have that book....read it. The story is ALWAYS better than the film.....and it's the same in this case.
A lot of times Steven King movies are similar with each other. I think he does it intentionally as a trademark. He comes up with some doozies. Makes ya wonder what goes on in his head. :spooked: He is one scary dude. :yes:

RE: Mr Kings "Accident":
Somebody asked what happened. It was 19 JUNE 1999:
"Horror author Stephen King was seriously injured when he was struck by a minivan while walking in North Lovell, Maine, Saturday, Maine State Police said.
King, 51, was walking south on the shoulder of a road in North Lovell, where he owns a home, at about 4:30 p.m. when a motorist approaching from behind lost control of his Dodge Caravan, Oxford County Sheriff's deputy Matt Baker said. Baker said a dog in the van distracted the driver.
King was transported to Northern Cumberland Hospital and then flown by helicopter to Central Maine Hospital.
According to Laird Covey, vice president of medical affairs for Central Maine hospital, King was conscious and alert, in serious but stable condition, and was able to communicate with his family. Officials said the injuries were orthopedic in nature but family didn't release the details of them.
Late Saturday night King was being prepared for surgery, and was expected to remain in the hospital for several days.
Police said charges will not be filed against the driver.
An eyewitness at the accident scene said King "was breathing and laying in a heap and he was all tangled and I could tell his leg was broken." "
http://www.cnn.com/books/news/9906/20/stephen.king.accident.02/ (http://www.cnn.com/books/news/9906/20/stephen.king.accident.02/)
I own a near complete collection of his work; I have been a fan for a very long time. The movies rarely if ever compare to his writing.
Someone mentioned he "connects" his stories, and this is very true and done intentionally. He mimics Alfred Hitchcock in that if you watch closely he is usually in every single one of his films in a cameo role.
A master of horror in every sense of the word IMHO. Now if only the film makers could do a better job of transferring his work to the screen. . .
Stephen King was conscious, alert and even cracking jokes following an operation to treat his shattered leg and collapsed lung sustained after being struck by a van while out walking.
The best-selling horror author remained in serious but stable condition Monday at Central Maine Medical Center, hospital officials said. King faced additional surgery Monday on his leg and hip, with more surgery tentatively scheduled for later in the week.
"He's been alert and he's in pretty good spirits," Chuck Gill, the hospital's vice president, said earlier.
Hospital spokesman Laird Covey said King had been talking with his wife, Tabitha, adding, "I know that he has been cracking some jokes to the staff about his condition."
Officials said King was thrown 14 feet when he was hit Saturday by a van in rural Lovell, where he owns a summer home. Lovell is about 115 miles southwest of Bangor.

Here's a link to an interview (text) that took place a few months afterward with Mr. King. It gives you a real feel for what he went through and his perspectives on the incident; as told to Dateline:

For those of you too lazy or afraid to read the above, I'll just mention the fact that Mr King bought the van that hit him in order to keep it out of the hands of twisted individuals that might use it as a freakish side show of sorts.
The interview includes comments from his wife (Tabitha) and an eyewitness to the event. . .
I think the film makers did a real good job with Dead Zone and Dream Catcher.

I think the film makers did a real good job with Dead Zone and Dream Catcher.
Dream Catcher, (or as I like to call it the Sh!t-weasels), did a good job I agree; but even then there are always details within the prose that are often over-looked by film makers. Always disappointing but they have to cut some of it out lest we be subjected to 5 to 6 hour long movies! :biggrin:
I guess I just get to focused on the details in anything I read and when they convert it to movies and leave the details I focused on out of the storyline I kind of feel let down. I've always struggled with this and need to learn to wipe the slate clean before viewing a film. . . My imagination is somehow always more vivid than the movies are. . . :biggrin:
I was really surprised at how good they did with Dream Catcher there was so much weird stuff.
Me too. I was glad to see the poop weasels! :icon_twisted:

I read it!!!! Lazy isn't in my vocabulary. :biggrin: Man, he really went through hell. He's lucky to be alive today. I watched "Creep Show" 2 times today on "Chiller" channel. I can watch his movies a million times and never get tired of them. :yes:
I know Dex, I can watch them over and over myself, but my wife gets freaked out by them and so she doesn't like to watch them. . . :'( SO, I have to wait until she's busy with something else and then I can have a Creepshow of my own! :biggrin:
I like most of his movies. I think IT is only good for the first half when they are giving the back stories of all the people. Once they get together, it is dumb!

My hubby doesn't care much for horror movies either. They are practically the only movies that can keep my attention. If a movie is kind of dry and slow paced, I can't sit still long enough to watch it. Sometimes, I think I have ADD. :spooked: "The Mist" was a real nailbiter. :yes:

I agree.... the ending was kind of strange, but that's what Steven King is all about.... being strange ,and thinking outside of the box. :yes: I have a clown phobia (which is strange because I am one :jester: )and Pennywise gave me nightmares for weeks LOL!!! :spooked: There was something about a clown with nasty ass fangs, that was very unsettling to my psyche. :spooked:

Does anybody remember Madame? Her puppeteer was Wayland Flowers. He passed in 1988,and she's working on a comeback. I bet she'd be real funny, doing the kind of comedy, that is allowed by the censors (or lack of) by todays standards. She was considered to be one dirrrrty broad way back when. I bet she'd be a hoot today LOL!!! :biggrin:
Back to Stephen King.....if you watch Kingdom Hospital, and read the final book in the Dark Tower series, he used his accident in both of them. The driver of the van being distracted by the dog(s) after his dinner that was in a cooler. If that's true, the driver should have pulled his ass over and moved the freaking cooler out of the dogs reach. But then, King wouldn't have had this life experience to draw from and ruin at least one good story. :rolleyes:

i layed out in the sun. i think i might have gotten a tad crispy. lol. (i wasn't even out long. i can't be--i get too hot and feel sickly.)
but i do turn a very delicious color. :smitten:
Would that be a shade of brown or red? I turn red....no tan just red and freckles....ggggrrrr
Me are you a red head? My Hubby is and that's what happens to him. He never tans, he just burns repeatedly all Summer long. :no: He's the perfect candidate for skin cancer. :no:

My Hubby foolishly exposes himself to the sun unprotected. :rolleyes: He use to use sunblock, but anymore he doesn't. I try not to nag him about it.... it's his choice. :no: I'm not a red head, but I don't get out in the sun too much. I mostly go out in the evening, after the sun goes down a little. :yes:
Man, it sure has been dead around here lately. :no:
I have the odd feeling that people are doing yard stuff and planting gardens and all that fun stuff.
I'm sure that's what it is. :yes: I've been busier lately,and haven't have a lot of free time to post. :no: I guess we're Zoner Loners LMAO!!!! :biggrin:
Yep, off and on any way. Of course you know where PH spends his free time.... :chop:

I tan, but my tan has more of a reddish tint that brown or yellow. It doesn't look like sunburn, but it is different.

Be careful..... you don't want to become a crispy critter. :spooked: Another consideration...... when you sun tan too much, you end up looking like a troll doll in later life. :spooked: You don't want that. :no: My Gawd.... I've become a Debi Downer!!! :spooked:
I know, but you're right. I didn't use to care how much sun I got and now I'm noticing how some of the older sun goddesses look much older than what they are. I have a couple friends who have developed skin cancer because they refuse to wear sunblock. I over do it sometimes myself, but I try to take sun in small doses until I've got a decent base tan, then I increase my exposure to the sun. If I feel like I'm getting a burn at all, I grab the sunblock. Oh, and I never lay out in the sun. Way too boring. I just enjoying being outside in the sun, doing something.
woooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooo
tattoo monday, tattoo monday.... mmm... dragonflies.... :smitten:
i've never looked forward to a monday before...
Some how the thought of getting stuck a gagillion times with a needle just don't thrill me at all. Guess I'm what ya might call a chicken even though I've seen some tattoo's I wouldn't mind having.
if i won the lottery, i'd change my name to "hock a. loogie" then donate a crapload of money to a hospital so they'd have to name a wing after me.
lmfao @ awol. eww. lol.
i've had piercings... the adrenaline is over too fast. tattoos are drawn out a little longer. lol. mmm... yup.
i haven't layed out much over the years. maybe twice or less per summer. i have olive skin, i think i tan an odd color. almost a golden grey brown. there are some new pix of it in my room on here. (i get way darjer than i am right now.)

Same here. :yes: I never "try"to get a tan, it just occurs naturally, when I'm working in the yard. I know a lot of people who go to the salon, and the more they go, the older their skin looks. :no:

How do you maneuver the mower w/all of your cats? I'd be terrified of hitting one. Or do they hide the way Benji does when I get the vacuum out. LOL

They pretty much scatter when they see me get behind the wheel of anything. :spooked: Most the time when I'm on foot, they get the hell outta the way too. Mama's gun boats can cause extreme pain, and suffering. I wear a size 11 shoe. :biggrin: My Hubby teases me constantly about the size of my feet. I always say.... a big body like mine wouldn't look right with tiny feet. :biggrin:
You'd stand the risk of falling over too ;)

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Why that song popped into my head I have no clue..... :rolleyes: Gonna have to do sumthin' 'bout that.... :yes: Don't really even like that song... :no:
Oh great now its this one.....I think I'd better turn on the radio or put in a CD and go to bed..... :yes: Maybe its the Benedryl I just took for my allergies....Maybe they need to put a warning on it: "May cause stupid songs to run through your head".
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That's what the showman said
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

Actually I had given up looking. I just assumed that Lil' Mojo helped me lose it and it would never be found. I was deep cleaning yesterday and took apart the "odds and ends" basket that I keep on top of the fridge to see what I need and what I can toss and found it there. Suddenly I remembered sticking it there one day because I didn't want Benji to get it while I was gone. :biggrin:

Man, Pugsly was barking his fool head off out on the deck. All of a sudden out of nowhere the wind came up, so I went out to bring him in, and I thought it was a tornado!!!! The wind was soooo strong, I couldn't keep ahold of his leash!!! As I was struggling with it, a huge limb flew through the air, and smacked me in the right side of my head, soooo hard I almost fell down. I finally got Pugsly free, and screamed to hubby it could be a tornado. Jesum Crow!!! That scared the hell outta me. :spooked: I've got a red spot on the side of my face, and a huge knot on my head.

Man, Pugsly was barking his fool head off out on the deck. All of a sudden out of nowhere the wind came up, so I went out to bring him in, and I thought it was a tornado!!!! The wind was soooo strong, I couldn't keep ahold of his leash!!! As I was struggling with it, a huge limb flew through the air, and smacked me in the right side of my head, soooo hard I almost fell down. I finally got Pugsly free, and screamed to hubby it could be a tornado. Jesum Crow!!! That scared the hell outta me. :spooked: I've got a red spot on the side of my face, and a huge knot on my head. Crimany what's next!!! :spooked:
Glad you're ok. That would be scary.
It's starting to throb now. I'm just glad I got Pugsly in OK. That was my main concern. :yes: The cats are hiding under the car. I don't know why they don't go to the safe, warm shed. I guess they're not smart enough to think of it. :no: If I could bring them all in I would, but I don't think hubby would go for it. :no: That is an understatement LOL!!!! :biggrin:

They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [X2]

It all happened sooooo fast, I didn't even have time to think of how dangerous it could be out there. I was scared for Pugsly. Luckily he was fine. I told hubby I was lucky that limb hit me the way it did, if it wouldn't have been sideways, the wind could have driven it into my head. :spooked:

I was off yesterday too. I love having that extra day, it makes the weekend seem SO long. :yes:
Sounds like you and Dexter both lucked out this week. :biggrin:
Well, I'll be in and out today. Sadly, a mommy cat abandoned her baby out in the yard, and I don't think it's gonna make it. I found it late last night,and brought it in, but it's too far gone. It did sleep all night, but if I had to guess it "might" live a couple more hours. I'm keeping it as comfortable as possible. I'm gonna take it outside pretty soon, and sit with it until it goes. It bothers me, but I'm not super attached to it. We have had soooo much of this type of thing recently, that I'm considering getting rid of my females. I just don't have the time, or energy to take care of the kittens they abandon. We have more strays showing up all the time, sometimes even weekly. I know it's because people can't afford to keep their pets, and they know( my reputation as a cat lady) that I don't turn starving animals away. The shelters are full, so I'm going to try to find homes for the mommies individually. I don't know what kind of luck I'll have. :no: Unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, animals are the first innocent victims. Many many people have had to give up their beloved pets to be able to buy food and gas. It's a real shame that it has come to all of this. :no:
Spent the entire day cruising around the countryside. . . Now I cruised my self to work for the night. . . :rolleyes:
I would have loved to keep going until the sun set! :'(
And you know...when I went to work at 10pm there was still sunlight in the sky. That's just freaking crazy.
I'm home from the beach! Did you miss me? :razz:
Yep! Did you get all relaxed and tan?
Tan yes, relaxed not so much. My best friend from college and her husband and 14 month old came. I love spending time with them, but 7 days was about 4 days too long.
I get it that your wife is the most wonderful person in the world. I should know since we've known each other longer. Why don't you put the weed down and change the baby once or twice.
I get it that your baby is the most wonderful, smartest, cutest, and most social baby on the planet, but I've seen smarter, cuter, and more social babies making them even more wonderful! :rolleyes: I apparently know nothing about child development at the age of 14 months with my education degree and a bigillion friends here with babies of the same age. Nope I know nothing. :rolleyes:
This morning my friend was up early getting the car packed up so they could make the last leg of their trip home which is 9 hours away in a car with no air. Hubby was all pissy about being up so early. Whatever! Get out of my house! :rolleyes:
You know, from the outside looking in, I think it's kinda sweet that he's so into his family, but I can also see why that would wear on my nerves after a while.
Has he known you very long? Maybe he just wanted to impress you with his love for his family to put your mind at ease that he appreciates your friend is is taking care of her heart.
I dunno, then again, maybe he's just a PIA. :biggrin:
I'm glad you got a great tan! :yes:
I hate Monday mornings! :icon_evil:
Preach it, brother PaleHorse! ;D
I have actually known him for 10 years. I think a little of it is his need to not impress people because that is not the right word, I guess justify his life style. He can provide for his family being a part-time artist (sort of) but supplements his income in other ways. I could care less. I know she brings home the bacon. The baby is well taken care of. No big deal.

How far are you from it?
Quote from: me on June 17, 2008, 08:26:16 PM
How far are you from it?
About 20 miles. Hubby has relatives that live right on the river, and we don't know if they got out or not. Their home is most likely completely under water. The town I work in has a water conservation order in place. The water supply is pumped from 20 miles away, and if the pump floods out, I may be home for 3 days, for lack of water in town. The restaurant will have to close until the water supply can be restored. I'm glad I've got well water. :yes:
That is all so sad. I was in Sacramento about 21yrs or so ago when a levee went in a town not too far from there and when we left to come home we had to drive past some of the homes that had been destroyed and underwater and it is just so, gosh I don't really know how to describe it. Its an awful feeling to see something like that, totally different than seeing it on TV.

What I saw on TV looked horrible. They showed houses that were soooo surrounded by water, all you could see was the roof tops. :no: I have yet to hear what they are doing about the animal situation. I wonder if people were allowed to take their pets with them? I would imagine most of the livestock probably drowned. :no: What a horrible thing to have to go through. We had a horrible flood in 1993. It was on the books as one of the worst ones ever, and this flood has surpassed it. They're saying this is the flood of the century. I lived a mile from the Spoon River in 1993, and the worst part, was the stench of dead fish, when the water receded. The fields surrounding the river had thousands of dead fish laying around. The smell was soooo bad,that you'd gag just driving by the area. *yuck* :spooked:
Where we passed it wasn't a dead fish smell so much as soured ground and mold and mildew.

Well, the flood is really taking it's toll. In the town where I work there is a boil order in effect. Work was quite interesting, what with having to boil water all day. We couldn't even sell fountain drinks. Our district manager had to drive to a distributor to get bottled water, and pop to sell. Today, the city announced it may have to completely cut the water supply off. If they do it could be off for 3 days. :spooked: It was total kaos at the stores, people are freaking out trying to buy water, and other supplies. Walmart was nuts!!! If the city cuts the water supply, all of the restaurants will be closed. That may mean a mini vacation for Dex!!! Woooooohoooo!!! :sofa: I'm soooooo glad I live in the country ,and have well water. :yes:

Heck, they didn't give me a red cent and it was plainly obvious that I was watering the grass and not filling a pool or a 3,000 gallon aquarium. Nor did we have the trots, although I did feel a little pressure in the sphincter region upon opening a few of those bills last year. . .

Yesterday I managed to finally make enough to buy him, by the time I was done with him and buying 8 other pets, I was down to $48 LOL He cost me over $105,000.

I paid $3.98 a gallon for gas today!!!! :spooked: I had a half a tank,and put $20 more in and got a full tank. My Corolla gets 35 mpg so I'm pretty much satisfied with it. My next car will be a Corolla too. :yes:
Gas is reducing here too. We're down to $4.40. It was almost $5.00 last week.

That sucks PH. I'm already feelin' like a moron for being happy about gas that's $4.40. Do you think we'll ever see lower prices? I'm guessing not. :no: :icon_evil:

A Soldier Came Home Today
I never met the one we're meeting...yet I think of him with pride,
He's the reason we're riding in the rain...the reason for this ride,
He didn't know how long it would be...that day he went away,
When he'd return, he had to serve..but A Soldier Came Home Today.
The Flags are furled and ready...we've been rolling through the day,
To greet this fallen hero. You See? A Soldier Came Home Today.
It's a tribute to a brother...whose duty sent him away,
To a land afar where he gave his all...Yes, A Soldier Came Home Today.
He could be anyone's son or father...yet he's gone so far from home,
Now he's coming back in his country's flag...Not forgotten and not alone,
He's earned a hero's welcome...bikes with flags along his way,
A Band of brothers saying their good-byes to a hero, a man...A Soldier Came Home Today.

Happy Meal Alert
The next promo for the McD's HM is "Star Wars". There are 4 different cartons featuring iconic characters from the series: CP30 R2D2, Darth Vader, Yoda, Capt Rex and Grevious.
I know. We're printing them. . . :rolleyes:
While a welcome change to the Kung Fu Panda copy, I already am tiring of seeing these things!
Guess that means you won't be ordering any Happy Meals huh? :biggrin:
No way! :spooked:
;D
I'd rather eat at the local choke n puke than to eat there!
What do you consider the local choke and puke? Oh BTW if its still open and you have a chance Mac's at the corner of Bativia and 32 is pretty good. Well, it used to be anyway.

Local Choke n Puke's = Any independently owned and operated diner that is not part of a national chain. . .
Funny you should mention Mac's. It is still open although I have sampled their wares as of yet. My wife however was there just yesterday and she really liked their ham n cheese. :biggrin:
I'll still do McD's breakfast once in awhile when I am in a hurry and hungry at the same time. At least then I don't have to see the "crappy meal" cartons! :biggrin:
Bruner's is pretty good too, at least the last time I was there it was. If they still have the same person making the pies and you like butterscotch pie theirs it very good.
One of the things irritates me about this place is the fact it is a bit like a prison camp; no going out for lunch or anything else. Once you are here you are here for the duration of your shift. Crappy rules left from when SS/CCA owned the place. A bit smothering if you ask me. . . :icon_evil:
Thats a real bummer. No wonder you were eating that cardboard pizza.
Yeah, if I don't bring it in I am forced to eat out of the machines. . .
But, it's a way to drop some excess weight too! :biggrin:
Can't remember if its Glad or Rubbermaid that makes a sectioned container with a lid. Don't know if you already have some or have thought about taking leftovers.
Have some and do quite often. But there are days when I space grabbing it before I leave and then I am stuck
Take a pic of a slice of that cardboard pizza and put it where you can see it just before you walk out the door each day and I'll bet that'll jog your memory.... :biggrin:

I read about this earlier today and I thought about you. I wondered if it was near you or not. They said he is prolly over in Missouri now but they don't really know. Whacknutz like him are unpredictable.
If yah shoot him outside make sure to get him inside before you call the law. Or, if you have a drop gun put it in his hand. . . :wink:
Seriously though. Get your weapons out, check them over, make sure they are loaded and easily reached by you. If you hear something don't go look unless you are packing.

STERLING, Ill. (July 1) - Authorities say the Illinois State Police have captured an ex-convict suspected of killing eight people in two states.
FBI spokeswoman Kelly Brennan says 28-year-old Nicholas T. Sheley was captured Tuesday in Granite City, about 10 miles north of St. Louis. She didn't immediately have more information about the arrest.

The Galesburg area. That's where I work too. :yes:
Thank God they caught him. People in town were starting to panic, and that is not a good thing. Galesburg has maybe 2 murders a year. I've been told there are more that the cops don't 'press release' as murders. There is a severe drug problem there. A couple of years ago a guy was walking out of Walmart, holding his 3 year old little boy's hand, and got just about to his car, when he was shot 9 times in a drive-by, by some thugs he stole money from. He survived and is now doing prison time with his assailants. You just never know what's gonna happen these days. That incident shook the town up REAL bad. :no:
Isn't that ironic, in a way. He stole money, then went shopping at Walmart...where things are less expensive, and anyone with a paycheck can shop there affordably.
There is no accounting for what stupid people will do

I had a dog that got sprayed and he took off for about 2hrs and when he came back he didn't smell anymore. I have no clue how he got rid of the smell but he did. I've heard tomato juice will get rid of the smell but I don't know how true it is.

Some people say that doesn't work at all. I tried it once. Didn't work at all.
Try this.....
http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/skunksmellremovalrid.htm (http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/skunksmellremovalrid.htm)
These tactics
WILL NOT work very well:
Bath in tomato juice
Spray with lemon or orange citrus
Masking agents like perfume or Fabreze
How do you eliminate the odor once you have been sprayed by a skunk? Well first of all, you or your dog should have known the warning signs ahead of time. A skunk will give many clear signals before it sprays. If threatened, it will stamp its front feet, arch its back, and shuffle away. If you don't leave right away, it will turn its posterior toward you, raise the tail, and release the smelly musk, a sulfur-alcohol compound, from special glands near the anus. This spray not only stinks, but burns and can cause temporary blindness if it is sprayed directly into the eyes. Since you didn't take heed and got sprayed, here is how to get rid of the smell:
Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:
1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.
If you can't go to all of the trouble of buying hydrogen peroxide at your local drug store, then a 2% vinegar solution will help a bit. But please, don't bother with the old tomato juice tactic unless you want to smell like skunk + tomato.

I was going to suggest this very formula. It worked on my dogs. I used extra bicarb to absorb the direct hit one of my dogs obtained. They still stink afterwards but not nearly as strong by a long shot.
My neighbor's dog got sprayed by a skunk, and nothing would take the odor away. She ended up having to have her shaved bald LMAO!!! Annie DID NOT look right with a buzz cut. :spooked:
I still don't know what my dog found but he was wet with the spray the skunk got him so bad and when he came back home after being gone for the two hours he didn't smell at all. Animals must instinctively now what to do.
thanks for the secret recipe--i'll keep that one handy. (we have a front porch skunk farm--lol. and now apparently the back patio and deck area.)
i left her out until after 11 p.m. (she's an outside mutt anyway--and has a doggie mansion in the backyard) when i went out to get her--she didn't smell too bad. she was soaking wet though.
i think she may have showered somewhere else.

It isn't an aggressive kitten. I noticed that its eyes were mated over, so I did what I would normally do, grabbed at it, and scooped it up. It couldn't see me and it freaked out,and it nailed me outta fear. I don't see any sings of sickness just its eyes. I will probably go Monday, and get a Tetanus booster just as a precaution. It seems somewhat wild. It was in on the porch when I noticed it. If I see something wrong with any of the critters, I always try to do what I can to help them. It's what I do. :biggrin: Sometimes I get the sharp end of the stick, but I can't let an animal in need suffer. :no:

On the plus side, we have an excellent vantage point for the casino fireworks as well as the VFW show that was put on for Saturday evening. From the observation deck we also had a great view of the Chesterfield display on Friday night.
In addition, my wife and I sprung for a boat-load of mortars and various 300 shot saturn missle displays. And, while we had to spend 2.5 hours on Saturday morning cleaning up the disaster zone the exploded ordinance created, it did provide an opportunity for many of our new neighbors to stop by and thank us for the "excellent show / display" we put on ourselves after the casino was finished. :smile:

It was great!!! I slept for 4 hours this afternoon. I probably would still be sleeping if the Pugman hadn't barked to go out to potty. I didn't even cook tonight, I just threw some pizzas in the oven, and dinner was served. :biggrin:

It's great.... but I can't allow myself to get used to it. I have a lot of responsibility. I take care of everything dealing with the house, and most of the yard work. I usually mow on Saturdays, but I was watching a movie, and didn't want to miss the ending, so Hubby mowed tonight. It was great!!! Maybe, I'll get another full day off in several years LOL!!! :biggrin:

I've done it for 18 years.... so I'm pretty much use to it. :yes: Sometimes I get real tired of it though. :yes: I was soooo tired this week from opening 4 days at work, that Friday morning I could barely get out of bed. When I left for work, I got 2 miles from home, and realized I had forgotten to put my denture in LMAO!! I had to go back home, and I ended up being 10 minutes late to work. :rolleyes: Thank God my head is attached, or I probably would have left home without it. :rolleyes: GOOD TIMES!!! :sofa:

You know, that's a good way to keep track of your walking to add incentive. Although I enjoy walking and I walk quite a bit every day. I don't have a clue how much I walk. Maybe I'll get a pedometer and start keeping track and challenge myself to so X amount in Y amount of time. :yes:
I have to go through 3 rooms to get from the computer room to the kitchen does that count in miles walked? :biggrin:
LOL! Yup...just as much as the 12 oz curls I like to do on weekends ;D Hey wait! I have to walk to the fridge to get my weight equipment...see more walking!

None whatsoever to this day. She isn't sorry for what she did. None of them are. They're only sorry they got caught. What a senseless waste of a life. They killed those people and wasted their lives, and in doing so, they wasted their own lives. It's beyond comprehension the devastation the entire incident caused. I don't know what provokes people to do such things. Ya know, she's had a pretty good life while she's been incarcerated. She's been married 3 times, and has always gotten conjugal visits with her husbands . Her and the other 2 live in dorms, not in the general population. They have gotten all kinds of college degrees. It hasn't been a horrible wretched life for them. Old Charlie is still as crazy as he was on day one. He has fans :rolleyes: and has actually cut a record from prison. People send him money and gifts. That POS actually is an icon in some deluded people's minds. :spooked:

I think the brutality and horror of it, is what really made it stick in peoples minds. I wasn't even born when that happened. The amount of evil involved just blows people's minds. I think they all should have been executed as originally planned. If anybody ever deserved the death penalty, it was that clan. Squeaky is still staunchly devoted to Manson. I bet she's a total nut.

I guess they think Leslie Van Houten has a very good chance at parole. :spooked: I guess she has shown "some" remorse. One of the other Manson followers, that wasn't involved in the Tate murders, but was involved in the LaBianca murders, may be getting a new trial. I hope he doesn't get out either. One of the other Manson family members has been released, and plays in a band. :spooked:
I thought he was doing the band thing from prison didn't know he had been released. Why is one of them getting another trial? Seems rather moot after all this time.

Steve Grohgan was convicted on separate charges. There are bunch of Manson followers. After the Tate/La Bianca murders other family members were involved in murdering other people. After Steve Grohgan was paroled he dissapeared. Nobody knew where he was for 20 years. It was recently discovered that SG has been traveling with a band all these years. Bruce Davis is getting another parole hearing. He's getting another parole hearing, because his lawyer filed a writ of habeas corpus after his 2006 parole denial. Apparently, the judge looked at his prison records ,and decided to give him another parole hearing.
I never did really follow that very close so I never did know how many were involved or any of the particulars. I'd just hear something every so often on the news and I guess I missed a few of the stories huh? I think they all need to stay right where they are.

I agree they do need to say where they are. Some of them could still be a danger to society IMO. Squeaky Fromme tried to assassinate President Ford. I think they're just a bunch of loose cannons ready to blow to this day. It's much better to keep them where they can be watched. :yes:
Well, Maddie had her kittens last night. She was in hard labor for about 2 hours. The delivery went smoothly ,and here's a BIG SHOCKER...... Dudley is not the babies' daddy!!!! Max is the only other possibility. In a way it's a relief because if they were Dudley's, they wouldn't have a good chance of surviving. They all seem reasonably healthy. There are 6 and all are black and white. Usually, there is a dead one in he bunch, but that wasn't the case this time. There was a MAJOR problem early this morning. All 6 of them somehow got tangled up in one of them's umbilical cord. Each one of them had a paw wrapped around the others foot, and they were all wound together by the piece of umbilical cord. You talk about a disaster??? One of the kitten's feet had no circulation going to it. I had to work fast to get that foot unwound. It took me an hour to get them all separated. I have my doubts about that foot though. I worked with it and tried to get the blood circulating, but I don't know how it's going to come out. I'll keep everybody posted.
Please do.
Quote from: me on July 19, 2008, 08:26:29 PM
Please do.
I checked its foot about 15 minutes ago, and it doesn't look good. The circulation hasn't returned to it, and the actual foot is puffed up like a balloon. It doesn't seem to be painful, and the kitten seems normal. We'll just have to wait and see. I hope it doesn't have to be amputated. I don't even know if that's a possibility since it's soooooo tiny. :no:
my puppy got a hold of one of my kittens and put a tooth hole right above her eye. Sadie was trying to drag it around by its head...poor little thing. I tried to doctor it myself with some antibiotic ointment I had, but her little eye swelled shut and was all nasty and had pus in it. I ended up having to take her to the vet. He gave her a shot and 2 different medications. After a week, it is looking a lot better. The swelling has gone down and I can see her eye again. The hole is still there but healing nicely. Now if I can only teach sadie that the kittens are NOT chew toys....

Our dog, Benji, likes to wrestle w/our new kitten. She's about 3 months old? Anyway, I've walked in and he's had her entire head in his mouth and she's not phased ... at all.
He likes to lick her and most of the time she's walking around all crazy looking, with her fur standing straight up, and soggy. LOL
When he's ignoring her? She attacks him. LOL So I figure it's all good.
I'm sorry about your kitty Smokey. I hope that she recovers okay. :yes:

Pugsly never bothers the cats. Dexter my kitten has been beating on Rosie my other kitten mercilessly. I've been on him for days. It's a good thing Sadie didn't get the kitten "in" the eye. It probably would have had to be enucleated and that's cashy. :yes:

One of our "rescue job" cats from the pound is an incurable wanderer. He will NOT stay inside -- sneaking out whenever he gets the chance -- despite the fact that all four feet were declawed by some idiot vet.
Consequently, he gets into fights all the time, comes home with puncture wounds on his head, and has generated vet bills out the wazoo. We have more cat antibiotics than a house of prostitution.
But, ya gotta admire the survivor. (I'm not particularly a cat person, but I admire survivors, no matter what the species.)
Comes from my background, I suspect.

Have you ever had a tom that bit another tom right above the tail? That is one of the most dangerous places a tom can get bit. The reason why toms bite each other there, is because they know that kind of bite, can cause the death of another tom. It's a hard wound to treat, and the severe infection can be deadly. I had one get bit, and I took him straight to the vet, they didn't have much hope,and told me to prepare myself, because I would probably lose him. I treated him at home with antibiotics oral, and ointment. He pulled through, but it was just luck that he survived.

Why is it dangerous for a tom cat to get bitten there? Can you tell I know absolutely nothing about cats?

That area gets infection easy. Basically, when the tooth punctures the skin it injects bacteria into the skin, and it can't drain the infection because of where it's at. An abscess forms, and it can't drain, and it gets in the bloodstream. By the time you know there is infection somewhere, it's usually too late to treat it, and it can cause death. I never knew any of that until it happened to my cat. :no: Probably the only thing that saved JJ ,was that I saw it happen, and got him to the vets the next morning.

I just got back from the vet's about a half an hour ago. We're going to try to save the leg. The kitten got a steroid shot, and oral antibiotics. I half to massage his leg under warm water. If it doesn't work, it will have to be amputated. I guess it's old enough that it can survive surgery. My Vet is the best in the area. It's just a waiting game for now.
BTW.... I didn't think it was a bad joke. I have soooo many I can't even keep them straight sometimes LOL!! :biggrin:
:'( my sister is 5 months pregnant. there is no amniotic fluid. the baby's kidneys aren't functioning. there maybe nothing they can do to save him/her. my sister is crushed already. :'(

I'm soooo sorry ~vxn~. :'( That type of loss is devastating, and she's in the second trimester, which makes it even harder. My aunt had a baby almost 30 years ago, she was born with a hole in her heart. The minute she was born the doctors whisked her away, and my aunt never got to hold her. She died 6 hours later. So, it's real hard when you're that far along. They say things happen for a reason, but it's hard to comprehend why.Keep us updated.

I just got some really bad news this morning. My husband took his cat for his shots this morning. His cat tested positive for Feline Aids. :'( To add insult to injury.... the Vet told him that our other inside cats are probably positive too. I suppose we'll lose all of them to it. :'( The vet thinks Scooter (hubby's cat ) may have been born with it. We found him in our garage when he was about 3 weeks old. I think he got it here. Six months after we moved here ,the previous owner told me her cat died from it. She knew I had cats, and didn't tell us about that. If I ever see that bitch again she will regret the day she ever met me. I swear I will beat her into the ground. I'm really at a loss here. Monday, I'm taking Baby Dexter for his shots. I'm having him tested for everything imaginable. Then he's gonna get every shot they have. I don't know why the vet never told us that Feline Aids was a possibility? We know all about Feline Leukemia, we've dealt with that before.They have a vaccine for both !!! Needless to say... it is a very sad day here. I don't know how Hubby is going to take this. He worships his cat. Hell, Scooter is in his will. :'(
cleveland hospital had even worse news to offer. :'( my poor little sister.
vxn I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and the baby. Is all hope lost? Please tell me that it isn't.
Dex, I'm sorry to hear about your cat and other cats too. So, feline aids isn't sexually transmitted or via blood? I've never heard of these things! Is there a treatment for it?
I haven't taken Mojo to the vet yet because I wanna do it all in one fell swoop (get her spayed and shots), but I'm going to get her tested for everything!
the only option is medical abortion or deliver a dead baby. (she's not going to medically abort--she said her baby deserves every second of life and she's not going to play god.) :'(

So, the baby is still alive? I don't blame your sister. This probably sounds crazy but.... miracles do happen sometimes. It's good sometimes to try to be hopeful about things like this, guardedly hopeful. I'll be praying for you guys. :yes:

Hubby is taking this really bad, infact I'd say he's devastated. He has gone into his shell, so to speak. He won't talk and he wont eat. I'm really worried about him. I've tried to talk to him and comfort him, but he has me on ignore. He wont even speak to me. I'm not even here. This is how he gets, and I always worry he might try to hurt himself. All I can do is sit back, and watch him go through hell. Thank God it's the weekend, and I can keep an eye on him.
Have your kitten tested for everything possible!!!! Then get all the shots. Scooter (hubby's cat) has NEVER missed a set of his shots ever. We thought he was being vaccinated for everything possible. But, he has never been vaccinated for FIV/HIV.I guess some vets are reluctant to give them that shot, because studies have been done, and a serious side effect is carcinoma/ cancer. That is a very serious side effect IMO. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. :no:

vxn, I am so sorry for your sister. I have heard that there is such a thing as a dry birth. I am not trying to get your hopes up, but what are the chances that the baby can be born alive? I know this is hard time for all. I also hope that all of you have lots of good support.
Dexter, I am so sorry to hear about your cats, I have 6 of them so I know how you feel. Feline aides is transmitted like a cold and it is deadly. Cats almost just have to pass each other and not even touch in order to catch this.
People don't hear much about it because the humane society is afraid that when people hear the word AIDES there will be an out and out killing of cats. all cats.
It is nothing like people AIDES.
the lungs have not been able to develop--no fluid for breathing practice. he/she can be born alive--only to suffocate--they can't ventolate if there are no lungs to ventolate. with the other complications--the heart enlarged and on the wrong side, the umbilical cord, etc--it looks VERY hopeless. if it were just the little nipper's kidneys (the original problem)--they could help him/her.

Dudley ran away from home. :'(
Hon I hate to bring bad news but maybe your sister will consider termination after some time has passed and the shock as been taken in. It is not her fault and there is no way she is to blame. Some abortions are medical procedures in order to protect mom. I am sure you have heard everything that I can say to you, so I will say no more,
I want everyone to know that you are all in my heart and in my thoughts.
thank you.
I say, just be a good sis...(that your are)...and support her...(I'm sure that is your plan anyway) :yes: that is about ALL you can do....

Last night, when we left for the Fair we found a dead cat 15 yards from our house. It had been hit by a car. We thought it was Dudley. :'( We went on to the Fair ,and got back home at 12:00 am. We kept hearing a cat crying in the distance. Hubby says "That sounds like Dudley?" I said "We're just messed up because he's dead." All of a sudden... a cat comes running out of the darkness, and it was DUDLEY!!!!! We couldn't believe it!!! I snatched him up, and hugged him soooooo tight, I almost broke him LMAO!!!!! Hubby says "isn't it weird that he dissapeared exactly a week ago tonight?" And I said "This is what's weird.... he took off exactly a week ago at this very time 12:00." It's a miracle!!!! My prayers were answered. :yes: He's never going outside again. :no:

Thats great Dexter. I'm glad he came home and it sounds like hes also glad to be back. Heck he may even be thinking he'll never go back outside again....lol
LOL! Prolly me!
We had a black lab that would run at the sight of daylight. If I took him outside and he got out of my sight for a second, he was gone. He wouldn't do his business if he was on a leash. I was late for work SO many mornings looking for that dog. I even caught him slinking behind buildings in a yard one morning....I swear he was trying to avoid being caught. :biggrin:
Anyway, one morning, I looked and couldn't find him at all. I had to go. I couldn't afford anymore time. Three days later, I got home from work and he was near death on the door stoop. Dehydrated and totally beat up. I took him to the vet and the vet said that it looked like a pack of dogs attacked him. He recovered and looked like normal.
The most amazing thing though...he never ran after that. ;D
Dex, I'm SO happy that Dudley made it home. I imagine there may be some more Dudley offspring somewhere in a few weeks. :biggrin:
Then again, sometimes well meaning people take in animals that they meet w/out thinking that the cat is obviously well taken care of and must belong to someone. He probably just had to wait for the chance to escape back home.

I just couldn't believe it. Two hours before that I scooped up a dead cat off the road that looked just like Dudley. Seeing him coming through the yard just blew me away. He even slept in the bed with hubby and I last night. I didn't want him out of my sight. :biggrin:

I think he was at somebody's house. His fur was perfect. He didn't look like he'd been out rambling around. He didn't seem overly hungry either. Hubby thinks he was just out running around for a week. If that's the case it's a wonder he didn't die in the heat. He's use to central air.
We use to have a dog named Rusty. We got him when he was 7. He used to take off. We found out he had spotted a female Cocker Spaniel across town. She used to lay on the window ledge, and Rusty would lay in the yard ,and watch her for hours. Rusty was completely smitten with her. When he took off we always knew where to find him. :yes:

:'( I'm soooo sorry. I'm sure you being there helps her more than anything. I'm glad you can have a Baptism and funeral service, that gives some closure. Will she be able to have children later on if she wants to.? Maybe after some time and healing she can try again?
Wow VXN that is really sad. I know you will be a good big sister, but just remember that you will need your time to grieve too. :'(
Tonight, when I came home from town my usual welcoming committee ran to the car. I had my hands full, and several of them tried to get in the car. So, I hassled with them, and thought they were all out of the way. :rolleyes: So, I slammed the locked door, and all of a sudden, I realized that I closed one of the tom's tail in the door. :spooked: Man, you talk about chaos!!! He went all kinds of freaky. And of course I had already put the car keys in my purse. So, he's all teeth and claws, and he's howling like a coyote in a trap. The other cats came running ,and were looking at him like ...what the hell are you doing? So, I couldn't open the door until I could get my keys, so I'm fishing through my purse, and he's slashing wildly at my legs ( thank God I had jeans on) and thrashing around. I couldn't get the keys fast enough, so he ripped it out of the door, and took off. I watched him run away, and notice his tail was hanging kind of odd, it was bent in half. :spooked: I went after him, to see if he was hurt, and he ran. So, I gave him a bite of my Big Mac, but I haven't seen him since. :no:

I remember when my daughter was about 3 or so and I had just gotten back from the grocery story and I dropped my keys in my big purse so that I could get her out of the car seat w/out dropping them. She was standing beside me while I got the groceries out of the trunk and I was distracted or preoccupied, but I didn't notice her little fingers when I slammed the trunk door shot. OMG! The howl she let out was the scariest thing I ever heard. I dropped the groceries and couldn't put my fingers on my keys in my purse, so I dumped it too. I was shaking so bad that I thought I wouldn't be able to unlock the trunk. I got it open and her little fingers were red and the skin was dented. I put some ice on them and they didn't even bruise. I guess because she was so little and had pudgy little toddler hands the fat protected her from serious injury. I have NEVER felt like such a heal in my life. She cried and I cried.

I bet you did feel awful. I did and it's just the cat. :yes:
Well, I've got that little kitten back. The one that the mama came ,and got the other day. I kept seeing her out in the yard all day long, and figured she had probably taken it somewhere ,and forgotten about it. I kept looking everywhere for it, and couldn't find it. Last night, I decided to look somewhere I hadn't checked. I went out behind our shed, and started calling it. I thought I heard a kitten crying, then I thought I was hearing things. :rolleyes: Of course, all of the other cats were standing around meowing, so it was hard to tell. Finally, I heard a weak, pathetic meow coming from under the canoe. I flipped it over, and sure enough....there was the kitten. :smitten: It was sooooo happy to see me. It wagged its little tail. Its eyes were sealed over with muck, and I wondered how long it had been since it ate? I took it in, cleaned its face off, medicated its eyes,and it drank formula like there was no tommorrow. It wanted to be held more than anything. It loves to be loved up. I was up with it most of the night last night,and didn't end up getting up until almost noon. :spooked: I've got its carrier right here by the computer, and it's stirring around, and I think trying to wake up. It won't be long, and it will be time for another bottle. :biggrin:
poor cat, indeed!

I don't blame her. We don't have any children, and when we lost ours, we never wanted to go through it again. The doctor told us we would probably have the same results if we tried again, and to us it wasn't worth the pain. I can still get pregnant, but it's highly unlikely I could carry the baby to term. I figure my critters are a sure bet... so I'm goin' with that LOL!!! I know it's not the same... but it's what I've been dealt, and somebody has to be a Mama to the critters. It would be sensless to go through life bitter about what might have been, so I happily play the hand I've been dealt. :biggrin: I'm glad your sister has her beautiful daughters. She has a lot IMO. Family that loves her, a very good support system, and her daughters are her future. She has their future to look forward to. She'll be a Grandmother one of these days. :smile:

This morning at about 1:30 the little kitten took a bad turn. It seemed fine, and all of a sudden, out of the blue, it just started crying in pain. I sat and held it for about an hour and it died. :'( That was the longest hour of my life. It suffered and cried the entire time. I feel hopeless when they get like that.I don't know what happened. It was doing real good. Adding insult to injury here.... Baby Dexter is extremely sick. He started vomiting last night, and when I came home from work, he was still sick. If he's not better in the morning, I'm taking him to the vet. It never ends...... :'( I'm soooooo tired of this stuff happening all of the time, I'm at my wits end. :no:

Sometimes, I think I should just get rid of my pets. I'm gettin' too old to do this stuff. It takes too much out of me. I want to save all of the animals that need saving, but I can barely do this stuff anymore. The emotional toll has gotten too great. It was all I could do to go to work today. I cried all the way there. I think I'm just real tired. :'( I've been under the weather to boot. :rolleyes:
Last night, I went to a rodeo about 20 miles from my home. It was quite a show. They had a lady with an Arabian horse that could actually dance!!! It quite literally did dance steps with its feet. The crowd went wild!!! Then it took a bow!!! I've never seen anything soooo amazing in my life. They had bucking bull riding, cow tying and all kinds of neat stuff. They had this one stunt where the guys came out on their horses, and shot balloons off on stands. The highlight of that was the finale when they shot balloons, that had smoke bombs in them, that lit when the balloons would blow. It was a cool effect when the many different colored smoke bombs ignited in unison. It was well worth the money. :yes: I'm sure God willing we'll go next year. :yes:

Glad you had a good time. Last time I was at a rodeo was in '79' when we were in Wyoming.
There are aspects of the Olympics I'd like to change. Apparently the sports are getting too easy for these people. Maybe if we add props or different clothing choices to these athletes, it would make for better competition. For example, I'd like to see the synchronized divers have to juggle while diving. I'd like for Micheal Phelps and crew to have to wear water wings. I think the long distance marathon runners should have to wear tutus. I know it sounds a little ridiculous to you right now, but wouldn't it make for better competition?

LMAO!!! Kimmi you're nuts, and I love it!!! Did you see the little Chinese girls, that faked their ages to compete in the gymnastic competitions? What a crock!!!

That's AWESOME luck Kimmi!!! We hatched some out last Spring. Today, I counted 10 of them in the Juniper bushes. I've become good buddies with one of them. Everytime I walk up to the bush it jumps on me,and crawls up on my head. :biggrin: I find them crawling on the ground all the time. I always stop and pick them up,and put them in the bushes.

Thats just plain scary thinkin' he's out on the road like that.
Yeah.... I wonder if his partner is Tommy Chong LMAO!!!! :biggrin: :rasta:
Seriously though..... he shouldn't be driving stoned, if he gets caught, or hurts somebody he's gonna be sooooo screwed, as he should be. My husband drives a rig, and the only speed he does, is a super jacked up mug of coffee, I make for him everynight. I use 8 cups of water,and 2 heaping table spoons of Folgers. That is a very strong mug of coffee. It puts hair on the insides of his eyelids. :spooked: :biggrin: Drivers like that guy are the ones that give truckers a bad name IMO.
I used to work at a truck stop and there was a driver that came in one night and bought some pills from someone he didn't know and had no clue what it was and took them. He was running around bragging about it. He said he didn't know what it was but they told him it would keep him awake. The pump boys were trying everything they could to keep him there but finally had to let him leave. That was the exception rather than the rule though. Most drivers were quite nice and had some sense about them.

I think truck drivers get a bad rap a lot of times. If it wasn't for the truck drivers we wouldn't have anything. Groceries and toys don't fall outta the sky. I'm pretty sure the Mothership doesn't drop them anyway. :biggrin:
Dudley got out again. :mad: He's been trying to take off every since he got back home. I was bringing Pugsly in, and Pugsly is soooooo slow, it takes forever to get him in the house. Well, tonight Dudley took his chance, and out he went. I give up!!!! He's been acting up every since he came back. He's been bullying the other cats, and the little bugger even took a dump in the bath tub!!!! I caught him trying to take a dump in the kitchen sink this morning!!!!! If hubby would have seen that Dudley would have been on the highway to hell at warp speed. :spooked:

I'm soooooo sorry Smokeykat. :'( It's horrible when we lose a pet. It's like losing a part of the family. I lost 2 kittens last night. We've got something going around outside, and we've lost 6 kittens in the past 2 weeks. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's taking them FAST. They don't show any sign of sickness. They just die. :spooked: I know they haven't been poisoned because, they're too little to go anywhere. So, I'm not sure what's going on. Is your kitty that passed the same one you asked about last week? There may be something going around. :no:
yes it was the same one. She had lost so much weight that her kittens weighed more than she did. I had mixed her up some baby food with kitten formula and was feeding her with an eye dropper, but I was too late. She died early this morning. Hubby and I buried her out under the tree by the fence.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard we try to save them, it just doesn't work. I've spent many hours holding dying kittens that their mama's abandon. I try to comfort them as much as possible, so they don't die alone. Most of the time you can tell which ones you can save, and which ones you can't. :no: I always bundle them up in a towel, rock them in the rocking chair, and sing to them. Little kittens love to be sung to. There's only so many we can save Smokeykat. We just do our best. :yes:

i'll look in the book and see which one specifically he does it in... i think her name was sara or sarah.
Poe died in a ditch, homeless, and alone. Do you think he could even dream of what we think of him today?
It seems to me that a lot of pepole didn't become famous till they had been dead for a while. well from way back when.

Man, what a night!!!! :spooked: I had to rush Hubby to the emergency room tonight. We had just finished supper, and he stood up all of a sudden, and said "I don't feel right" somethings wrong I need to go to the hospital. I asked him "Do you want me to call an ambulance what's wrong?" He said "No lets go to the emergency room." Luckily, we only live about 10 minutes from the hospital. So, I got us dressed, and I drove 70 mph to the ER. Man, was I scared!!!! So, I kind of half carried him in the door and yelled, "My husband is having some kind of a spell!!!" They hurried out, and got him to a room. I had to go park the car because, I pulled right up to the doors. So, I parked the car, whipped out my cell phone and called my Mom. I just busted out bawling. I was almost hysterical, but I pulled myself back together, and gave the receptionist the pertinent information. I don't do well in situations that involve my Husband being sick or hurt. Anybody else, I'm fine but I'm quite different when it's Hubby. Anywho.... they did chest X-rays, bloodwork, and other tests, and after about 3 hours of waiting, the doctor decided Hubby has walking pneumonia. His oxygen level was low to the point that he was almost passing out. So, they gave him antibiotics, and sent us on our way. Hubby doesn't think that's what's wrong with him. He does have symptoms that really aren't related to walking pneumonia. I really hope it is, but I don't know. God, I hate it when stuff like this happens, I feel so helpless, because I can't help him. :no:

No, it just came on him in a flash!!! We were just sitting there watching TV, and he just jumped up out of his chair, and said "Somethings wrong, I need to go to the hospital." It scared me sooooo bad!!! Crazy thoughts started going through my head ... heart attack, aneurysm, stroke, diabetes... I mean crazy thoughts all at once. It was horrible... I didn't know if he was going to make it to the hospital or not. I held his hand when I drove us there, and his hand was ice cold. It scared the hell out of me. :spooked: I can't take much of that that's for sure. I haven't been that scared in a very long time. When we were in the emergency room by ourselves, I held his hand and said to him, "Don't you leave me, don't you do it." :'( That's how scared I was. :spooked:
Aww Dex I am so sorry you were scared. I hope he is ok.
Thats the way I get with my little girl.
Hope he's feeling better today Dexter. {{{{hugs}}}}@Dexter
Thanks guys... he really hasn't improved at all. He laid in the recliner all day, wouldn't eat anything, and barely spoke 15 words all day. He's in his little shell. He tends to do that when he is very sick. I have to work tomorrow, which normally I don't work Mondays. My boss is on vacation. :rolleyes: It seems like this type of stuff always happens at the most inopportune times. When it rains it pours. :rolleyes: He has work tomorrow night, so I hope he's feeling better. :-\
Even if he does feel better tomorrow it probably wouldn't hurt for him to call off work, if he has the option, to give himself another day of rest to be on the safe side.

I wish he could call off. The company he works for doesn't allow sick days. If they miss work for any reason they get a write up. If they're in the hospital it's a good enough excuse to miss a day. :rolleyes: That or dead. And they still want proof that they're dead LMAO!!! :dead: :rolleyes:

Thats just wrong any way you look at it. What kind of idiot came up with those kind of rules anyway? Te write someone up for taking time off for being sick is just plain expecting too much from employees.

Here's the even worse part... a lot of the guys take 2 days off ,and only get one write up. People call off on a Thursday, and make it a 4 day weekend. Hubby has tried many times to even request a day off, and they won't let him, simply because people call off sooooo much for frivolous reasons, that they're always short handed. After so many months the write ups are voided, but they are still on your permanent record. If for some reason somebody called off, and took the write ups, and then screwed up big time, they could be fired. Hubby won't chance it because, he has seen people get fired in that situation. :yes:

Whoever came up with that system should be hung.
I wonder if it's legal. Has anyone ever checked w/the labor board? Seriously, I can't imagine the danger they're putting not only the drivers in, but other people as well, by putting them on the road when they're sick. While there are people who call in for the hell of it, you have people who won't call in even if they're on death's door. They shouldn't be behind the wheel.
He called off tonight. He was just too sick to go. Now, he'll get wrote up. :rolleyes: I don't know if it's legal or not. :no: At his job the workers are just a number. Upper management don't care diddly squat about the safety of their workers. As long as they kept the money rolling in that's all that matters. :rolleyes:

What upper management may not realize is that it might be bigger than they are. You husband may have the right to file a grievance through a governing agency. He can take the write up, show up when he feels better and continue to be a good employee, but seriously, I'd look into it. There's no reason at all that an employee should feel guilty for being legitimately sick and no reason why he should take a hit when he's a good employee AND putting him on the road under such circumstances would be a dangerous move.
My job? I could have double pneumonia and other than infecting everyone around me...no one would be in jeopardy. LOL :biggrin:
He called off tonight too. He is doing better though. He ate a half of a McRib sandwich. He's goin' back to work tomorrow night. He'll only be working two nights this week. Then Friday night vacation starts. :sofa:

I highly doubt the cats will let us sleep in. After the alarm clock goes off, they hassle me until I get up, and feed them. :rolleyes:
But you won't be setting the alarm clock will you? You could trick 'em and set it for 11:00am... :biggrin:
That's what Mojo does too. The alarm goes of and she starts to nibble on my nose, ear, elbow, toe...whatever. All she wants is affection, her bowl is full before I go to bed. She must have some type of internal clock too because she does the same crap on weekends. ;D
Cover your ears ... sorry!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
OK, you can uncover then now. I just needed to let that one out!
Well, hubby is still very sick. He was soooo bad this morning he had to go to the doctor. The doctor was concerned because the medicine he was prescribed the other night didn't kick it. His lungs have fluid in them. He put him on different antibiotics. He hasn't gone to work since last Friday. I have been sooooo worried about him. :'(
Another random comment...
Tonight, I went out to tie Pugsly out, and much to my surprise there was a newborn kitten, laying on the deck. It had just been born, it was even in the sack still. I thought it was dead. All of a sudden I saw its chest move. I thought oh crap!!!! I better get his mouth and nose uncovered!!!!! After that I took him around to the cats hoping someone we claim it. No such luck. So, it's in here with me. I highly doubt it will live, but I'll do my best to comfort it.

Hope this new antibiotic works. From the sounds of it he should be sleeping in his recliner rather than laying down because of the fluid in his lungs. Did the Dr. suggest a way to help clear it out?

I guess he just told him to take the medicine, and it should work.
Hope hubby is feelin' better Dex. :yes:
Me too. How is he doing tonight?
He went back to work tonight. He's still feeling sickly. Tomorrow our vacation starts. He'll be home in the morning, and I'll get home in the afternoon. :yes: He has 9 days and I have 10 days. It will be wonderful to have some time off. :yes:

Man, it's been a heck of a day. The little kitten I found on the deck the other night has been struggling a lot. The mama cat I put him with has rejected him. This morning, I found his litter mate dead, and he was three clicks from being dead. His body was sooooo cold, when I picked him up, I didn't think he'd make it for 5 more minutes. I took him in, and put him on the heating pad. Then I started pumping warm formula into him. He pulled out of it ,and was doing really good. I had him on the heating pad on top of a TV tray that is free standing. He was sound asleep. I got on the computer, and Hubby was cooking supper. All of a sudden I hear him wailing. One of Maddie's kittens jumped up there, and knocked him off !!! He fell 3 feet, and landed on the hardwood floor. I was horrified !!! I got him back up, warmed him up again, and fed him. I don't think he's gonna make it though. :no:

Here's an update on the kitten.......
Right now, he's doing OK. At 4:00 this morning his crying woke Hubby and I up. I reached for his sleeping box, and whisked him out of the bedroom to feed him. Much to my surprise he wasn't in it. :spooked: I flung the bedroom door open, and screamed "He's not in his box!!!! "Cover your head I gotta turn the light on!!!" to half asleep Hubby. So, I flipped the light on, and he was laying in a pile of clothes on the floor. He had taken a 4 foot drop off the dresser. :spooked: Thank God those clothes were there. The floor was carpeted though. Hubby has been taking care of him the most. He's still under the weather pretty bad. So, he holds him until feeding time, and I feed him with an eye dropper. The little guy is quite tough, and a real fighter. We're trying not to get our hopes up though. He is awful little. :no:

Ya know.... it was sooooo little we never really thought it would make it. We promised each other we wouldn't get our hopes up. It was hard, but it was the outcome we expected. I've never had one that little survive. That's just too little to be away from the mama. I never did figure out who the mama was. She had four of them. I found 2 of them in a large flower pot by my deck. They died shortly after I found them. The other one was stillborn. :no:

I haven't gotten anything done. I've been kinda under the weather. I just haven't been up to snuff for the past few days. I was gonna paint my kitchen while I'm on vacation, but that isn't gonna happen. I didn't get my paint picked out, and even if I had, I don't have the energy to do it. :no: I hate scraping paint!!!

Yep I can definitely verify that it makes ya sore. We're hopin' to get it finished up tomorrow paint and all. There are 4 of us doing it and we got most of the repair stuff done today too so just a little more scraping and caulking and then the paint goes on.

Well, I've been busy all day, taking care of 3 more abandoned at birth kittens. Had a stray show up, and left them scattered across the yard. I've had Hubby babysitting them while I'm trying to clean house. They are taking the eye dropper of formula very well. There probably isn't much hope for them though. :no: The smallest one is only about 2 inches long. At first, I thought it came from a different mama. We ruled that out though. The other ones are pretty big. They're probably 4 - 5 inches. I couldn't just let them lay out in the yard and die. Much to my horror, I found one of them decapitated by the garage. That made me heartsick. :'(

I've always considered Weight Watchers of more of intimidation than inspiration. I don't know if they still do it or not, but years ago my MIL used to go to the meetings, and they weighed you in front of everybody ,and told what your weight was ,and whether or not you had gained, or lost weight. :no: I don't think that's motivation. I think that would screw with a person's self esteem? JMO :yes:
Yeah that is kinda why I'm doing the whole online thing. I did it before and it really worked, but I was also suffering from the biggest loses of my life and that couldn't possibly have anything to do with it! Right?

Well guys.... I had a really bad day today. Last night was Hubby's first night back to work in over 2 weeks. He had walking pneumonia for past 2 weeks. He called me this morning, and told me he was headed to the ER. I had to do the early shift so, I couldn't go with him. So, that started a very looooong, and emotional day. He had blood work done, and x-rays at the ER. They thought he may have had a heart attack so, they sent him to a cardiologist. The cardiologist decided a CT scan of his heart was in order. Hubby called me at work, and told me they were taking him for a heart scan. I totally lost it at work. I couldn't stop bawling. I wanted to be with him. I wouldn't have been able to get to him anyway because, he was at a hospital in the Quad Cities, that I had no clue how to get to. So, I waited for him to call me after the test. I swear to God the clock at work stopped completely from 10:00am until I got off at 2. It was the longest day of my life. I had a very mean and nasty customer that I would like to have killed. At 2:00 the end of my shift, I told my boss 'Karen, I have got to go, I have to go now!!!" I couldn't take 2 more minutes of that place. So, before I was even out the door I called Hubby. He said he was headed home!!! I was soooo relieved. Anywho.... his heart is 100% perfect. The cardiologist thinks he is extremely stressed out, to the point it's making him sick. He works 80 hours a week. Tomorrow, he's going to his regular doctor to see what they can do. OK, I've rambled on long enough. :biggrin:

He said he was headed home!!! I was soooo relieved. Anywho.... his heart is 100% perfect. The cardiologist thinks he is extremely stressed out, to the point it's making him sick. He works 80 hours a week. Tomorrow, he's going to his regular doctor to see what they can do. OK, I've rambled on long enough. :biggrin:
Of course that was an emotional day! Wow! I'm glad your husband is okay and I'm happy that he's doing the smart thing by following up w/the Dr.
Keep him laughing Dex. That's the best medicine. ;D

That's fantastic! Enjoy your trip. Visiting family, I know you will. For a while anyway. :biggrin:

He's doin' a little better. But now he has Bronchitis. The doctor gave him a 3rd round of antibiotics. Hopefully, that will do the trick. :yes:
Well, tonight I went outside,and found the little kitten ,I have been feeding with an eye dropper dead. Two days ago I put him with one of the other mama cats, that only had one kitten. She was taking good care of him. I think at some point today he got rolled on or sat on, by one of the other cats. I should have kept him in but, I figured he'd do OK because she took right to him. A very tragic accident.
:spooked:
I got wireless in my house today!! Yippee! :biggrin: I only paid $40 bucks for it too! It is good to live in the IT capital of the country!!
Well, we're about to get our second set of shelves put together. Got the boards cut, holes drilled, and the first coat of stain on now we've got to get them put together and get the second coat of stain on and but tonight we'll have them inside and be putting our DVD's in them.
Also got my house plants inside, some stuff carried to the basement, supper put in the slow cooker, (earlier this morning), and some other stuff done. :biggrin:
I'm down in the back sooooo bad, I may have to go to the hospital. It's 2:45 and this is pretty much the first time I've been outta the recliner all day. I was up all night in horrible pain. I think I have a pinched nerve. At one point, I was laying on the couch ,and actually dozed off. When I woke up the pain was sooooo bad, I couldn't get up, so I had to roll on to the floor, and climb up off the floor to get up. :groan: If I'm not around you'll know why. :rolleyes:
that's terrible, dex. get well soon.
The Colts are going to give me a heart attack if they keep playing like they did today! Down by three scores with 3 minutes to play and they score 21 in those 3 minutes to win! :spooked:

I'm much better today. Thanks for asking. :smile: I go back to work tomorrow. Only a 3 hour shift, so I think I'll be OK. :yes: Wednesday might be quite trying though. I open and there is A LOT of heavy lifting. :spooked:
Well, they're picking the soy beans today. We're having what I call the running of the cats. The cats are darting out of the fields ,trying to get away from the pickers. I almost had a heart attack, as I watched a confused kitten run away from a picker, and then start to dart back towards it in confusion. :spooked: Luckily, it went back in the right direction. I wonder how many small animals fall victim to the pickers every year. I know the hay cutters claim a lot of them every year. :'(
are the pickers like a combine? i can imagine the nightmare for the animals in tha field. prolly have a whole religion based on the appearance of the "Great Demon" every year.

LMAO!!! For some reason that made me think of The Great Pumpkin!!! :punk: The pickers are like combines and they're huge. I looked in the field, and didn't see any dead cats, or any other critters. Whew........

Well guys it is not a good day. This morning hubby got a call about his test results from last week. His heart is fine but, they found a spot on his lung. They are pretty sure it is not pneumonia. It's a spot. We have an appointment with a pulmonary specialist at 2:00 this afternoon. I couldn't get myself pulled together enough to go to work. I've got a very sick feeling that it may be cancer. If it is I don't know what we're going to do. I'll update as soon as we find something out.

Hey Dex,...for what it's worth, they found a spot on my wifes lungs a couple of years ago, and she was diagnosed with Histoplasmosis. The doc said thousands of people in indiana have this. In her case, he said several in Anderson got this a few years ago when they tore down some building in downtown Anderson...the dust mixed with pigeon droppings got into the lungs and forms a fungus like infection. He said, for the most part it is really harmless and more than likely will NEVER cause a problem.
I'm not saying that is your husbands problem...I'm just throwing other possiblities out there. It scared us when the spot showed up and the doc wanted us to see a specialist. My wife has had no problems with this. She gets it checked every year, just to make sure it is not getting any bigger.
I will keep you and your hubby in my prayers.

Thanks HH we really appreciate it. I'm glad you wife is still doing so well. :yes: It's pretty scary to go through. We went to the specialist, and he says it's 50/50 on whether it's cancer. The hospital didn't send him the entire scan so, he can't tell how big it is. When he gets the rest of the scan, he is suppose to call us. The doctor did schedule a COPD test, an Asthma test, and another lung scan in a month. He wants to see if it is going to grow, before he does more invasive testing. I've got a good feeling about this. Before we went I had a horrible sense of dread, but I feel better now.
Well, hubby has nodules on his lung. We just found out today. I'm sure they will probably have to do a biopsy, to see if it's cancer. He is soooooo sick and depressed. He isn't eating anything at all, and he's having a lot of trouble breathing. The doctor prescribed an inhaler. So, things aren't going good around here. If I'm not on here much everybody will know why. :'(
Great day for working outside. We got the garden stripped, the bird bath cleaned out and put up for the winter, the hedges trimmed, and some other stuff done and we're taking a break and gonna try to get a few more things done later. :biggrin:

They're all crooked conniving liars, and unfortunately we're gonna be stuck with one of these buffoons, for the next 4 years. :rolleyes: I can't imagine anybody feeling good about either of the chosen candidates.

Yes they did. In fact I voted early myself. (For business reasons)
Gas is $1.88/gallon where I am at. Today I paid $2.88/gallon for diesel.
California decided to have early voting the last weekend prior to the election, but I didn't have a line at all when I went to vote.
Gas here is still $2.45. a gallon. It cost $25 to fill up my tank. It'd be nice if it drops lower, but I can live with this.
Thank God we are finally at $2.39. We spent so much time at $4 that I thought I was never going to leave my little town again!
when I was out today...gas was 1.96
$ 2.11 here today!!! I like that price. :biggrin:

When I left work today gas was.... *drum roll please* $1.94 a gallon!!! Wooooohooooo!!! :sofa: :sofa: :sofa: Too bad I didn't need gas. :groan:
1.86 here
Man I thought we were doing well with $2.09! :mad:
And yet, I would still point out that I find it very strange that no one is yelping over the 41+ billion dollar profit reported for the third quarter by Exxon; making it clear that they will end the year in the trillion dollar profit range. . . Where is the grief? :spooked:

Not here Brother. Not here.
Now it's $1.92 a gallon!!! I'm feeling no pain. :biggrin:
I paid 2.85/gallon for diesel today. . .

We had lite snow today. :groan:
It was in the air here when I went to pick 17 up from school. Nothing stuck though.
Stuck overnight. The roads in Madison county were terrible this morning; even with this light dusting we had overnight. Solid ice on the roads everywhere. BE CAREFUL! :spooked:
Delaware county is clear. . .
The only problem I had this morning was a sluggish start. It was COLD. The snow really was dustlike, it blew off the front of my van as soon as I started driving.
Once I hit Delaware county the roads were great. (They put salt down, or beet juice, or whatever concoction they are using these days). In any case, Madison county roads were terrible in comparison. . .

Gas is only $1.85 a gallon here. I had a little under a quarter of a tank when I started ,and could only fit $15.50 in it. Woooohooooo!!! I like that price LMAO!!! :sofa: :sofa: :sofa:
I seen it for $1.78 in Muncie yesterday.

I finally saw $1.92. I'll have to go today. Isn't Wednesday night a big price change day? Or maybe I should wait until tomorrow hoping the change is lower.
It may well get better. Anderson is notorious for having higher gas prices than surrounding areas, and I just saw it at Rickers for 1.78. This is good.

Today, it was $1.82. If it drops below a buck fifty, I'll probably have a stroke LMAO!!!! :biggrin:
I'm hoping it does. And I hope it's by next Wednesday. I am trying to go to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. The less money I have to come up with for gas, the better.
I paid $1.68 in Greenfield at the Gas America on st rd 9 and I70.....$20.00 filled up my tank...that was so awsome.

I had a good laugh tonight. :biggrin: I went out to my cat barn to check, and make sure the space heater was working, and got quite a surprise. I was standing there looking around at the cats, when suddenly two pink noses popped up from under the feed bunk. It was two Opossums!!! Apparently they are going to be lodging at Che' Dexter's this evening LMAO!!! They are sooooo cute. I've caught them in there before. I'm not quite sure how they got in tonight though. The door wasn't completely closed but, I had a big block in front of it. They may have been there the initial time I went in to feed the cats. They may have been hiding in one of the bedding boxes out there. I should take a picture but, I'm afraid it may freak them out. Maybe tomorrow? :biggrin:

Nothing really. I was just feelin' what mom used to call "punchy". There was a man walking down the street, homeless I 'spect, talkin' to himself and he reminded me of CJS (but not as goodlooking...er um..or good-looking at all, really lol) and I had that quote in my mind. It's one of my favorites from the movie.

I should be doing some housework, but it'll keep. :yes:
I finally did go do the deviled eggs and get the kitchen cleaned up. Heck I even got the bedroom cleaned up and the vacuum ran earlier today. Hubby helped where he could but there were certain things he couldn't do since he had his cataract removed this morning. He helped a bunch yesterday though. He's at least going to be able to see what he's eatin' with both eyes for a change....lol

Hell, I can't even hear without my glasses. One time I woke up in the middle of the night, and I put my glasses on, and was sitting in the darkened room. Suddenly a thought came to mind..... I wondered if they were really my glasses or Hubby's. It hit me kinda funny, and I got to laughing soooo hard that Hubby woke up, and asked me WTF I was laughing about. I tried to stifle it but, it didn't work. It reminded me of that episode of M.A.S.H. when Colonel Potter and Radar got their glasses switched . :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, today we shopped till we dropped. Hubby and I and our friends Mike and Becky, went to the Quad Cities to do some Christmas shopping. We went everywhere!!! The traffic was crazy, and the stores were crowded. Here's a run down of the stores we went to....
Rail City Hobby Shop
Blaine's Farm and Fleet
Culver's for lunch
Petsmart
Kohl's
Gander Mountain
North Park Mall....
2 Hallmark shops
Hickory Farms
Things Remembered
RadioShack
Dillard's
Denny's for supper
Hy Vee grocery
Home Sweet Home :smitten:
The day started out on a sad note though.... we headed up the road to meet our friends in town, and found my cat Sylvester dead on the road. He had been hit by a car. He got outta the house 4 days ago, and I figured something had happened to him. It had to have happened sometime last night. At least, I know what happened to him so, it's better that way. I've had a lot of them dissappear without a trace, and it haunts me awful bad, wondering what became of them. :no:

Well, Hubby and I went to the tree farm to get our Christmas tree. It was like something out of a Thomas Kincaid work of art. We drove out into the country, while giant snowflakes fell gently to the ground. We picked out the best looking tree we've ever had,and Hubby cut it down. It's an 8 foot Douglas Fir, and it cost $40. I guess that's the goin' rate for Christmas trees. We haven't had a real tree in probably 10 years. We wanted to make this year really special in case, we're not around next year. We find out tomorrow if Hubby has Cancer. So, we're keeping ourselves busy today so, the time doesn't drag by. :tree:

Take it from one survivor.

Hopefully, that'll never happen. How wonderful it is to be an artist and to not only have something wonderful to share w/the world, but to have an outlet for your imagination.
i would not survive without a creative outlet... ;)

I was looking for a quote for my signature line and ran across this one and it totally cracked me up (this is a glimpse into my childishness . . . as if I haven't shared that already :biggrin: )
Quoten the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukka' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukka!' or to the atheists "Look out for the wall!"

MUNCIE, Ind. -- Actor Erik Estrada has returned to Muncie to take part in overnight police patrols in the city where he starred in the short-lived reality series "Armed & Famous."
The former star of the 1970s motorcycle cop drama "CHiPs" is a reserve officer on the Muncie Police Department.
The 60-year-old actor plans to work the midnight shift for three nights this week, patrolling city streets from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
He took target practice at the police gun range on Wednesday. Saturday, he plans to help officers at a charity event.
Estrada filmed "Armed & Famous" for CBS in Muncie in the winter of 2006-07. He and several other celebrities patrolled the city as reserve officers.
He also returned to Muncie last winter to keep up his reserve officer status.

"I'm not a cop... but I played one on TV" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I mean come on! The guy is 60 years old and has been an actor his entire public career! Surely Muncie has a lot of far better qualified candidates to fill this reserve spot with?!
He runs across a hard core criminal type out here and he'll get a severe case of the drizzles I assure you! :biggrin:
I just wonder what the hell he is trolling for; perhaps a lead role in a new Dirty Harry movie? Or perhaps a role in the remake of the CHIP's series?

Crap. We were going to dinner and along the way someone had hit a cat. As we passed the poor kitty it lay writhing in my headlights as I swerved to avoid administration of the kill shot, more out of instinct than anything else. I'd have rather had finished him off to end its suffering. The sight of it pretty much tempered my appetite at dinner. . . :'(

This probably sounds really bad but, one time there was a kitten laying underneath my car, and I didn't know it was there. I backed over it, and it sort of blew its intestines out, and it was still alive. It took everything in me to do it but, I ran over it again, and killed it. I hated to do that but, I couldn't leave it like that. It was going to die anyway. There was nothing short of a miracle that would save the poor thing. Boy I hated that. :'( :no:

Not strange at all. . . I had a cat once for a number of years. She eventually started acting different and I could tell she didn't feel good. I took her to the vet and we found out she was riddled with cancer. When she got to the point she couldn't eat I purchased a grave site at a local pet cemetery and took her to the vet to be put down. I built the box to put her in and took along her favorite blanket when we went to the vet. I said goodbye to her and held her as the vet gave her the shot. She died looking me in the face, but I swear that through the tears I sensed she was thankful to have it ended. . . We buried her while she was still warm and swaddled in her blanket as I nailed the box shut.
We visited from time to time for a long period of time, and always took along her playmate (a dalmatian we owned also), each time we went. The dog always laid down on top of the grave and whined each time we took her along. . . Several years later the dog also departed. And though my ex had her at the time I knew the moment she crossed over because I swear the dog appeared to me at that moment and I was overwhelmed with a sense of sorrow. The next morning my ex told me the dog had passed. Losing both of those pets ripped my heart a good one, until Max came along.
BTW- its really strange I'm talking about this because guess where I stopped on my visit to Chicago this week. . . To visit that grave site of my departed cat. Strange I know, but I was driving past it on the way to my hotel and when I realized it I just had to stop. . .

It's always the right thing to end an animals suffering. Be it euthanasia or other means. To walk away from an animal that is suffering like that. is just wrong on soooo many levels. It is extremely hard, and you shouldn't feel bad for not doing it. It's even harder to euthanize a pet that is terminally ill..... you just feel like you're signing their death warrant, when they present you with the permission to euthanize form. :'(

Ya know.... cats tend to pull away when they're suffering. They don't like to be fussed over. The morning I had Champ put down, she wouldn't let me hold her. That's when I knew it was time to let her go. I know the look of disgust they get in their eyes when they want to go. They get to a point where you can almost read it in their faces, that they think you should do something. That sounds crazy as hell but, it has been my experience. Cats are very private creatures, and it appears that they think it is undignified to be sick or dying. They seem to have a lot of pride.
Also.... it isn't strange to go visit a beloved pet's grave. I go out to Champ's grave almost daily when the weather is decent. Of course, she is buried in the back yard so, that's more acessable. Ya know..... pets add soooo much to our lives,that I can't imagine life without them. :smile:

We've got another blizzard coming our way. :rolleyes:
It was -5 degrees here last night, with winds of 10 to 15 mph.
Needless to say, witches and well diggers were very careful.
Presently, it is a balmy 12 degrees, with 8-10 mph. winds.
We've finally managed to make it into the + side. 12 and 2 wind chill. At least it's sunny which helps.
55 and pouring the rain! :rain1: :rain2:
it's 18 degrees... with a ridiculous windchill and non-stop snow. over a foot now easy.
i am supposed to go xmas shopping this evening.
Well, that stinks.
3 degrees w/ a -8 wind chill factor :poop: :tequila:

Every once in awhile life throws you a curveball and you are left standing there in confusion without ever having taken a cut at it. . . Today was my day for that to happen.
Over the last few months I have been afforded the opportunity to work for a man I have come to deeply respect and admire. His name is John Moritz, and he is a highly respected individual within my company. Based out of Virginia, John was the instructor for many of the training sessions I've been through, and a frequent companion post sessions for dinner and drinks.
A hard working and hard playing individual, John passed away suddenly this past Saturday. He was 51 years old.
He will be greatly missed by a whole lot of people besides me. :'(
That's horrible news, PH. I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your friend and colleague.
Thanks Sandy. I am just in total shock over this. . .

Dumpster wars!
Chub pickin'
A friend of ours who lives out of town got enough of that wood flooring and the pad that goes under it to do 3 rooms in his house and it all matched. He goes to new construction sites and the contractors have thrown it away because it was left over from jobs. What a waste. A couple of years ago he got a brand new still in the box 16ft garage door because it had a little ding in it you could barely see, they just gave it to him. When he see's a lawn mower someone has set out for the trash he picks them up too and usually it's something as simple as it's out of oil or needs a spark plug and he's gotten some pretty new ones. He fixes them and then sells them. He's even picked up riding lawn mowers that way. The owners couldn't get them to start and they don't bother to fix them they just go buy a new one... :rolleyes:
I need to find one of those people who will buy old lawn mowers. I have one and a gas weed eater too that I need to get rid of.
I got gas for $1.49!!! WHOOOHOO :biggrin:

You know what, this is bull excrement! They need to plug the loopholes for the major oil companies, force them to pay their fair share and stop fleecing those of us that have to commute to what few jobs remain!
I wonder how hard it'd be to "lease" my pick up to a trucking company (on the sly) just to obtain the friggin DOT number that will allow me to purchase diesel without taxation? :rant:

Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,

Okay, I was just thinking about this for some reason..
Followsthewolf - I've always just called him "FTW" which seemed to make sense and was short and sweet and to the point.
A while ago (really long time ago I think), someone (and I think it was a member who is a biker) asked him if "FTW" meant ___.
FTW, explained why I call him that and that it does not mean _____.
Both of them were gentleman enough not to say what _______ means...but I gotta ask...
What does ______ mean? :biggrin:
F___ (ooey) the World ? :biggrin:
Ahhhh :doh:

Baby Dexter just jumped out of the cat tree, and I think he may have hurt himself pretty bad. He's my kitten that only has three legs. I'm scared to death that he may have broken his leg. His right back leg has to support the total weight of his tailend,and of course that's the one he landed on. He was on the top ledge of the tree, so he jumped 6 feet, and landed very hard. Normally, he cries when he wants down. I usually help him down. I was sitting right here, and heard a thud. God, I hope it isn't broken. That damn tree is coming down right now!!! :mad: We'll probaby go to the vet's in the morning. Poor little guy.... he tries to do everything like the other cats. He doesn't realize he has limited abilities. :'( :'( :'(
Edited to add..... that damn tree is down now!!! :mad:
Hope his leg isn't broken. :(
I hope so. Poor lil' guy - he just wants to be like the other cats. I admire his determination. :yes:
Well, luckily he's OK. I was worried sick about him last night. He couldn't seem to keep his balance. He just wanted to be held and cuddled. I think he was in some pain. I held him for about 2 hours,and we went to bed. I set my clock to get up early so, I could check him ,and see if he needed to go to the vet's. He's fine now. He's got his balance back, and was playin' with one of the other cats. It was real scary, and a bunch of thoughts went through my mind. It he shatters his hip or leg, it might have to be amputated. Then a HUGE decision would have to be made as in.... do we go forward, or have him euthanized? What quality of life would he have, if he had to have a cart to push himself around? Horrible decision to have to make. I always try to do what is in the best interest of all of my pets. We've decided to buy some small cat trees, that he wont get hurt jumping off of. He loves climbing even though it takes him some serious effort. He's a very strong little guy, and his Mama loves him dearly. :smitten:
Glad he's ok. Probably just knocked the breath out of him and scared him.

I think you're right. I think he might have kind of strained his leg a little. Like when we jump from something high up, and land with a little extra force, and kind of jar ourselves. :yes:

Well I'll be danged. A plow just went down the road.... :eek: Would have been nice if he would do both lanes instead of just one and go slow enough to really do some good. He went past like he was practicin' for the race track when racing season starts. :rolleyes:

I was actually shocked that a plow came by my house this morning at about 4:00. We never get any of that out here. If he hadn't plowed it they probably would have had to close the road.
I was up until 5:00 this morning with a dying cat. One of my 4 year old tom's, that was born in the house, and converted to the outside, had pneumonia. I had been givin' him antibiotics, and it just didn't help. :'( This type of thing really drains me emotionally, and physically. I'm glad it snowed so, I didn't ave to go to work. I just feel like crap today. :no:

That type of thing is always very hard on me. In some ways it's similar to losing a child... in a small minute way. :yes: It isn't nearly the same but, when you don't have children, they become your children in a way. It was just a bad night. He drug on for hours, and it was like a blizzard out so, I couldn't take him in to be euthanized. :no: Normally, I would have called the vet but, during a blizzard it isn't safe for either party to be out on bad roads. So, I just did the best I could with him. :yes: I'll miss him he was a very good cat. :smitten:
losing a pet is always hard Dex.....sorry you had to go thru that.
This day we witnessed history as it happened. This day millions rejoiced at the prospects of hope and change. And this day millions of us fail to understand that the greatness that is to be achieved via the dawning of the new world order, will never be seen by the majority of us; but read about by our great grandchildren. Relegated to the tales of historians written down years later, and assembled with records to tell the tale.
We have focused this day on what we have come from and what this day represents as it relates to an achievement. But what have we really achieved? The majority of us will never know in this world today, but those that follow us will know something of it. What that something is strongly depends upon how tomorrow, next week, next year, and the next few decades are documented. Will it be an objective record, including the perspectives of the common man and woman, or yet another version of the tale of Camelot revisited. Perhaps even an assembly of straight facts that are supported by the official records, with a heavy sprinkling of literary license taken up to make the whole thing more inspiring and pallatable to the common man or woman?
Whatever it is you can bet it will miss the mark it needs to hit. And we will be doomed to repeat any mistakes again. . . This day.

If I can score some decent tix we will be there for sure! I have been an Eagles fan for a VERY long time! They have not been in Indy since 2003 and there are a number of cuts of their last cd that I really like!
I'm making some calls tomorrow to see if I can pull some strings. . . :confused:
I have a strict policy that is someone is coming near me who could potentially have their last performance soon - age or retirement or both - then I must see them. I've taken care of Aerosmith and Stevie Wonder. Eagles would also make that list.
I went to Alpharetta Georgia last summer to see them. They were awesome.....
Slip n slide on the way home this afternoon! :smile: :icon_twisted:
One dramatic moment though:
As i was driving south on the bypass I saw a vehicle traveling down the on ramp. As I observed the vehicle and the 2 cars ahead of me, I saw the car lurch sideways and snow was flying. As the vehicle bounced across the shoulder I watched, (in the super slow motion that only seems to come during dramatic events somehow), as it slid headlong into the ditch, then slammed into the light pole, which also came down in super slow motion.
The 2 vehicles in front of me pulled onto the shoulder as I approached and hit my hazard lights, with every intention of doing the same thing. However, both individuals who exited the 2 vehicles already on the shoulder were wearing "EMS" jackets, and one of them had a radio in hand and was calling it in. So I just proceeded on by at a safe speed.
The light pole had collapsed onto the vehicle and did not fall onto the roadway. It sure appeared to be designed to do just that, since I watched the arm fold in on impact and the rest of the pole just seemed to methodically come apart and fall almost straight down.
The vehicle occupants appeared alright, since the driver was exiting the vehicle as I went by. . .
Needless to say, the vehicles that were drafting me beforehand fell back to a comfortable interval and it stayed that way the rest of the trip home. . .

"As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled," Obama said to laughter. "In fact, my 7-year-old pointed out that you'd go outside for recess. You wouldn't even stay indoors. So, I don't know. We're going to have to try to apply some flinty Chicago toughness."
Asked if he meant the people of the national's capital are wimps, Obama said: "I'm saying, when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things."

I usually go to the Harvest Market on 8th St to get it. Last time I had to have the butcher slice me some though because they started slicing it thin enough to read the paper through and I don't like it like that. I mean that's fine if you just fry it and through onions in with it but I like to do mine in the gravy and cook it so it's nice and tender and it actually has some flavor.
I find mine at Strong's......although I don't cook mine in gravy...I do make the gravy after the liver is done. I used to fix a mound of mashed potatoes with it...but can't have them now due to my diabetes and having to watch carbs....so the gravy is out too....but I can have all the liver and onions I want....
That must be a real bummer not being able to have mashed potato's.
Like life without the color red! My sympathies, Smokeycat.
We used to get together with some friends every summer and I'd fix liver and onions w/gravy, fried green tomato's and mashed potatoes. Not the most healthy meal you'd want to eat but sure was good. I'd have two skillets of fried tomoto's and two skillets of liver going plus a huge pan of 'taters. Very seldom where there ever any left overs either.

My dog tries to use starvation of the cat as a means to get her to leave! He eats her food if she doesn't finish it. Only problem is he has now figured out it gives him the drizzles when he does that! :biggrin:
Have you heard: Cats Rule--Dogs drool>LOL I have dogs also. My jackrussel terrier-female-eats all the cat food too. But instead of the runs it gives her gas. Whew!!!!!!!
My dogs kill cats.

These are German bloodline Shepherds and they were specifically bred for high prey-drive. There is no off switch.

Interestingly, these are the first dogs I've ever had who not only chase squirrels but catch them. I see it as a sort of cleansing of the rodent gene pool in my yard...the slow, dim-witted squirrels don't get the opportunity to reproduce. :biggrin:

:biggrin: No fence for our yard yet so we have to stake our dog out. At the old house he had caught and killed three rabbits before he was even a year old. He once faced a stray black lab that was twice his size when he was a pup, that had stupidly wandered up and acted aggressive. Max sent him yelping with his tail between his legs in short order. :biggrin: (I was actually afraid for him, stupid human that I am).
Anybody that comes to the house and rings the bell, (and doesn't know the dog), ends up halfway down the drive before I can answer the door. He's one hell of a meet and greet to the uninitiated. LOL! 90 pounds of muscle and up for any challenge.
He's a damned good dog, smart, intelligent, and an excellent guard. Nothing approaches unchallenged. . . Unless we say so. (My wife and I). Great with kids too. Definitely an ambassador for the breed, which is what we've tried to train him to be. They get so much bad press. . .
Dad raised white shepherds for years when I was growing up. They were very protective of the family at all times, and as I recall also hated squirrels! :biggrin:
He eventually switched to the Eskimo Spitz breed, which he bred until his death.
I like your dog! :biggrin:

Jose and Carlos are beggars. They beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects
about eight or nine dollars a day.
Jose bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day, he
drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage - free house, and has a lot of
money to spend.
"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as
you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten-dollar bills
every day?
Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"
Carlos' sign reads; "I have no work, a wife and six kids to support."
"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.
"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"
Carlos says "all right what does your sign say?"
It reads, "I only need another ten dollars to get back to Mexico ."

Been there done that and that's why I don't peel anymore. I just scrub them until the skin is thinned down with my veggie brush, now those peelin' gloves I seen advertised on TV, and mash, fry, make 'tater salad, or cut up for french fries. I do use Idaho or Idaho russets though. The plain russets are a little thick skinned most of the time and harder to deal with 'cause the skins are tough it seems like.
Well, got the doughnuts done, (they turned out great btw), supper over with, and the kitchen cleaned up and now I think I'm gonna play on the 'puter for what's left of the evening. :biggrin:

I wish people would learn how to wear perfume/cologne. I have a co-worker who buys it at Big Lots by the gallon and wears it in attempt to cover up her flatulence (sp?) issue. Doesn't work.

A man w/some type of unflattering cologne sits at the table next to me. The breeze is blowing my way :/ :mad:
I'm allergic to most perfumes and so is my daughter and it's so bad sometimes when you get in line at the grocery store or somewhere that we start sneezing and coughing instantly and they look at us like we are contagious or something when it's they're fault we are about to choke to death.... :mad:
Bad news for you and yer pup, me; there was a Blue Light Special on "Evening in Elwood" at the K-Mart yesterday.

It's easier to use the shop vac for the patio and sidewalk than to sweep and pick up especially when they're wet. I put the crevice tool on and clean them out of the flower beds that way.

As it turns out I hadn't forgotten anything yesterday and all went well and the party didn't break up until 2:30 this morning. Needless to say I'm spending the day recuperating......Well, we did get the stuff all put up and the kitchen straightened up.... :smile:

Well, I'm probably not going to tell you anything new, but those that lean to the right, ususally are more of a Christian valued voter....and they take Marriage as an important part of a moral society, and value it as a union between a man and a woman...it will be argued till the end of times between the left and the right...one of them issues that are clearly seen by both sides as absolute, right or wrong....I just found it interesting that California, known as a strong BLUE state, voted against Gay marriage.
so let it be a church entered state, and either the gubment can wash its hands of the whole affair, or just issue civil unions to everyone wishing to make a legal union. (which is actually where I think this whole fight will end up 50 years from now)
I found it interesting that the vote as so tight, par-tick-you-lerly when so many cults seem to have such a strong opinion on the matter and invested so much time and money into the campaign.
Well I think someone needs to wear a dress at the wedding. and get nails and hair done, and carry flowers. And the bachlorette party, someone has to wear the cheesy veil all night, get blasted and barf in the car all the way home. When you think about all the traditions, gay marriage just isnt a good idea. Leave out the religion, and just use common sense.

Actually, Gay marriage would probably be GREAT for the economy.......(stereotypically speaking)...they can probably throw a pretty extravagant wedding....

You're onto something...
I've been to a dozen weddings in the past three or four years, and all told, end up spending at a minimum $400 to attend (by the time you account for gifts, travel) and as much as $1500 (for a wedding that required a flight, two nights hotel, and a rented tux). Both myself and my wallet are weddinged-out. I vote no on allowing anyone else to do it, and would also like to encourage legislation limiting every person to one marriage per lifetime, make null and void any marriage performed more than 100 miles from the hometown, and forbid the registration of any gift costing more than $40.
Of course, such legislation should also mandate an open bar at all receptions, and place severe penalties on anyone whose wedding DJ plays the Electric Slide.
ya know Im wondering now just how much a typical wedding stimulates the economy? I was kinda joking before, but when you think about all the gifts, the honeymoon, the folks who travel in for the service, etc. it's a big darn number.

I have a few tickets for tonight's $222 million Powerball drawing. Odds are not in my favor, but it's true that you can't win if you don't play. :biggrin:
You know, the lottery is one case where a small collection of people/organizations get rich off the mathematically challenged masses. But in some cases, the contributions of those of us with degrees in math, who understand the long odds but engage anyway, contribute to the cause. :biggrin:

What do you expect? If it's a penny, it is cheap. Can't even rub two of them together to buy anything any more.
I don't even know why they still have pennies...it costs more to make them than they're worth.
I imagine they will have pennies as long as people who determine prices can't seem to figure out how to round up to 5's and 10's. Why the heck do items cost $?.97? ? ? ? And why does the price of gas include 9/10ths of a cent?

Dang, McClure's is giving a discount on gas for paying cash now. We paid $2.52pr gal and got $20 but paid only $19.61. Works for me.... :biggrin:
A lot of stations down here in the Devil's Playground give discounts for cash. That's because they have to pay a percentage of total credit card receipts to the credit card companies. I think the lowest is still 4% of the ticket price. I like the convenience of just sliding the card and paying at the pump, but for the discount, I'll walk inside and hand over folding money.

This is the first around here to my knowledge but we only go a couple of places to buy gas, McClure's and Ricker's.
I usually get my gas at Gas America. Every so often they will give a 3 cent discount with your convenience card, as will Speedway.
You also earn 10 points per gallon at Gas America when you use the convenience card. And 60 points per dollar spent when you purchase anything else in the store (except alcohol and cigarettes), and 10 points per lottery tickets. When you acquire 6000 points you get a 3 dollar in store check. I rarely buy anything there but cigarettes and gas, so it takes a long time to get the $3 reward.
There's also the the 10 cents off per gallon you get whenever you spend over a $100 a month at Payless in groceries. I always have the 10 cent discount available, I just don't find it that cost effective to drive over to Cross street to see what they are charging for gas. LOL
We had started the Gas America thing a couple of years ago but McClure's and Ricker's is just more convenient for us and usually cheaper.
Swifty's in Pendleton always give 5 cents off if you pay cash and pump it yourself. Their regular price has always been as low as anyplace in Anderson so it can be quite a savings. We live on the south side of Anderson so it is not far for us to go. Worth the money, exp when you are filling two vehicles and get almost 49 gallons of gas at a time. :smile:

LMAO!! That's hilarious. :rotfl:
Actually, I look for the Bears to sign Vick to a one year deal. . .
With their "knock the snot out of you" kind of play, it is just a matter of time before ol' Cutler gets banged up and sidelined by injury. They have no backup, and Vick as a 3 time pro bowler and 6 year veteran, would fill that role quite nicely for them while they develop their current backups. . .
They can probably sign him for a cool million; a bargain that the Bears are always looking for. . . And with his being eligible at 6 weeks into the season, the timing is just about right. It may take that long for Cutler to get injured. . .

The above story is about a security fraud conviction for the raiding of a trust fund in Indiana, but that is not why I posted it.
Read it, then scroll down and read the "comments" at the bottom of the page. If you are like me you probably do this anyway. What got my attention was the fact that the reporter actually responds to the feedback and questions surrounding his story! Jon Murray is his name, and I had to respond to thank him for caring enough to actually answer the questions that readers posted.
Now, anytime I see something written by him I'll read it. Even if it is something that doesn't really interest me or catch my eye. He cares enough to not only read the feedback but respond. How refreshing in this day and age! :smile:
That is unusual!

Dude! I was thinking about this very thing today!
Naw, I wasn't there but I bought the music and lived the aftermath with a lot of friends who were. I was 12 so there was no way I was going. Several of my school-mates had parents that took them though! :biggrin:
I was very surprised to learn Wavy Gravy is still sucking air!

I was 18, fresh out of HS and getting ready for college. I wasn't there either, but I was doing the freak thing and playing in a band called "Yer Mother's Mustache"

I hesitate to tell you this, because it really dates me -- I was there.
Not a very long distance from where I lived at the time. Had finished my undergrad paper chase, a short stretch in the service (million-dollar wound), and hadn't started grad school yet.
(If you want to figure out how old I am, do the math :biggrin:.)
Music was (and still is, to a lesser degree) a LARGE part of my life.
Was a wet and wonderful time. And, no, I did not eat the purple owlsleys.

I thought it was the brown acid that was "not, specifically, too good."
I designated my daughter to be in charge of the recycling. She gets to keep the money and all she has to do is serve as a reminder to me when I accidentally throw a recyclable away and help me take it to the recycling center.
Well, today was the day and she earned just under $17.00. Normally, she gets somewhere between $25 and $30. (We go once a month). At any rate, I was pondering why she didn't make as much this time and she said, "less glass" and I said, "Ya think?" and she said "yeah, you need to drink more Corona".
...well...okay...if you insist. :biggrin:
In Bethel there was a constant litany of various substances that made the "do not ingest" list. Not the least of which was some of the food. :biggrin:
Brown was the one that made the "hit" list, so to speak.

Umm. . . wasn't that the window pane?
I think brown got so famous because it was the one being announced when the first film clips of Woodstock were released to the media.
I wasn't a serious participant in the use of psychedelics, so I didn't pay a great deal of attention to the ranking of various substances.
Must say, though, that it is amusing that an ergot fungus on rye (that sounds a little like a sandwich you'd order in a delicatessen, doesn't it?) could have caused so much interest.
Ol' Timmy Leary probably giggled the rest of his life.
Quote from: Palehorse on August 14, 2009, 09:11:47 PM
Umm. . . wasn't that the window pane?
Is that the same thing as blotter acid?
If I remember correctly, the same base formula was used for all acid; the only difference was the medium that was used to carry it.
The different names came from those media. Of course, the content of the LSD was corrupted frequently by the care used in the manufacture and the sterility (or lack thereof) of the aforementioned media. (Media were needed because of the very small dose needed -- 50 mikes or so, if memory serves. Please feel free to correct me.)
The effects of "bad acid"; i.e, a "bad trip" was also dependent on the set and setting of the experience. ("Set" means mind set, and "setting" means the physical surroundings of the individual dropping it.)

It was also dependent on the carrying medium....e.g., talcum powder or crystal meth, or rice paper. I remember a lot of strange crap being marketed as fashionable drugs, as well. For example, animal tranquilizer, or belladonna.

Don't know if I should reveal this or not (might ruin my image -- bullcrap alert), but I wasn't into the drug scene back in the day. There was war, loans from undergrad and grad school to pay back, and a new family to support. Not much time left for personal experimentation, to say the least.
(Warning -- here comes the caveat) I did have many friends who crashed at my place and gave me some rather graphic descriptions. Not empirical evidence, mind you, but not bad for anecdotal stuff.

From what I know (granted not a lot but I do know who Tim was) :spooked:, acid was placed into sugar cubes, saccrine "pills", blotter paper, and the like and allowed to dry. Then sold in those forms.
Hashish came in a variety of forms, but typically the cakes were wrapped in tin foil as well. (Stck pin through cardboard and a water glass anyone?)
PCP, angel dust, etc. was sold in tin foil packets that contained the powder. Heroin was sometimes sold in this manner as well, except for the black tar variety.
Coke came in "seals"; tiny envelopes made from a coated paper and folded.
How the heck do I know all this?
The alley across from the side entrance to my high school was where the freaks converged each morning before class. You could buy anything you wanted there, and the pot smoke was THICK coming from that place every morning. . . There were a LOT of freaks in that high school, and if you needed to find someone that was the FIRST place to look for them- jock, greaser, or freak! :biggrin:
Back then "the man" wasn't so mental about busting a bunch of small time users and pushers. (There were a ton of both everywhere in Chicago). Before the "war on drugs" was even a glimmer in the feds eyes. . . Heck a lot of the big time dealers were cops back then! :biggrin:
Whether a user or not, you spent a lot of time around the stuff if you needed to talk to anyone in school. That alley was "off school property" in those days before "school zone" laws, and most high school kids felt safe there. . .

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

When I was much younger, I sheepishly admit that I thought it was weird to wake up with the same person you went to sleep with. :biggrin: :biggrin:
LOL....I guess I have no problems with that...the only people I sleep with are in my dreams....and itty bitty.

How sad is it that I can't be a salesperson? I just can't sell anything to anyone unless they already want it. :eek:

You can still be a salesperson. In my experience, about 20% of the people you approach will always say yes whether or not they need what you're selling or can even really afford it. Likewise, 20% will always say no regardless of how badly they need whatever it is or how cheap. The other 60% depend on your ability to sell. Let's assume that you really aren't any good and none of that 60% will buy from you...you still have the 20% so to be good, you only have to approach more people. Sales is all about numbers...the more people you talk to, the more you sell.
100 no's for one yes.

That's probably the biggest problem I have: approaching people. A lot of people might not have gotten this, but I am fairly well introverted....or bashful...or shy, however you want to put it. I do much better with people approaching me, and the product I was asked to present is not anything that people are going to beat down the doors for.

Naw, I'm going to skip sales. The only ones I've ever been good at are food and spirits, and like I said, when they walk in the door the customers KNOW they want that or they wouldn't have come in.
Speaking of which, that's the kind of full time job I wouldn't mind having right now. Know anywhere that's hiring?

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself.

I'm on travel and I just heard tornado warning sirens for the first time in my life. :spooked: :spooked:
Fortunately, there's not a cloud in the sky. It was such a long wailing noise that echoed all around from the multiple siren locations in the area. I can't even image how frightening that sound must be in actual conditions that would spawn a tornado. Especially if you heard that at night. :eek:
It is quite frightening.

We have that every day at noon. And I've gotten so used to it, that I don't even hear it most of the time. Which sucks when it happens during a storm, because someone actually has to tell me that they are going off.
How much time elapses between the time the siren sounds and the time you actually get sucked into the giant vacuum cleaner? :spooked:

It depends. When you typically hear the sirens it is an indication that a funnel cloud has been sighted and/or that a tornado is on the ground. It is a signal to get to safety, but there is really no way of knowing where the tornado is or if it is on the ground even.
Most folks listen to emergency weather transmissions or watch local radar / weather broadcasting to find out. Some of them get sucked up into the tornado because they didn't realize it was in their neck of the woods until it was too late to get to safety.
Where the hell are you anyway? Tornado alley or something? Our tests typically go off at Noon on Saturdays only. . . If you hear them any other time it is an indication of the above.
And every time I hear them go off I think of the Black Sabbath tune War Pigs. . .
pfft, I hear them on random days, the first time I notice them during the week, I was completely surprised. Maybe you ought to come sit on my porch every day for a couple of weeks around noon.

They go off if a funnel cloud is sighted but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will touch ground. Sometimes it might be right on you and others it is a strong possibility and you should take shelter just in case. There are people out driving around reporting conditions in different areas on ham radios to stay abreast of what's happening and report to the NWS so they can warn people.

Hum, never thought about putting chili over cornbread. I might just have to try that sometime....
I don't put it over cornbread, but when I eat out.....like at Ponderosa or Ryan's, and they have chili and cornbread, I'll eat it in place of my normal peanut butter/butter sandwich.
Never tried the cornbread at either place 'cause I figure it's sweet and I don't care for sweet cornbread. It does sound kind of good though.
You know...when I'm eating it with Chili, I'm not sure if it's sweet or not....the chili seems to be sweeter than what I make at home though.
yeah baby, just take a piece of cornbread, put chili on it, some cheese, and eat till you explode

Nope, just cold water and vinegar. Steam cleaning is bad for carpets actually and if there's a stain it sets it in. I just use Clorox Oxi Magic to remove spots. I've done some real nasty carpets in my time, including those that pets had stunk up and vinegar usually gets it out. I have had to put soda down on some and leave over night or so and then vacuum it up before I cleaned them though.
Ok I don't want to sound dumb but here goes! :razz:

That's what I use in the carpet cleaner. I used it in the ones I rented and now that I have one that's what I use in it. How much I use just depends on how bad the odor is if there is one. I guess I use anywhere from 1/4c to 1/2 cup in the water container. I've done it so long I don't really measure anymore. When I was renting the cleaners I just didn't turn on the heating element. I have, at times, used bleach, about two capfuls, about 1Tbl of Tide, and just a tad of fabric softener. Most generally the carpets I clean already have too much soap in them though so just getting the soap out with the vinegar water is all they really need and they clean up great. I do a barefoot test after they're dry and its amazing how much softer they are too.
I have to use the premix stuff. If I tried that combo I'd screw it up for sure lol

Thanks pariann. I was about half watching when they were talking about that and did hear him make the comment but it was one of those things I chose not to retain since it was just a rude, very rude comment made and retaining his name is not worth my time or effort. Now as for Beyonce that is entirely different. She is a very classy person, as was mentioned in an earlier post, to have handled it the way she did. My opinion of her went up a lot. She has a good voice too. :yes:

I think there was a time limit on those speeches. Perhaps if she'd called him out, she wouldn't have had enough time to let Swift speak.
Besides, West has taken a drubbing over his actions there from a lot of other people.
Singer Pink tweeted, "Kanye West is the biggest piece of [expletive] on earth. Quote me," :biggrin: and Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte tweeted, "All i'm saying is Taylor Swift is a young chic and you just walk up and grab the mic."
Singer Katy Perry weighed in with "F--- u Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten."

Here's another 'celebrity' weighing in...
Of course he will be vilified for it.
"Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'"

Why should he be vilified for it? He did, after all, state his feelings and they are pretty much what everyone else thinks.

Trust me ... when it makes the Faux News headlines, can World Nut Daily be far behind?
he was being a jerk. the kid is 17, and had worked hard to earn her shining moment. adults would be gracious, he acted like a four year old. he is entitled to his opinion, but others are entitled to a respectful statement of said opinion. wonder how many award shows will ban him now?
So it's okay to say Kanye is a jackass but not okay to say Crowley "acted stupidly". I wonder why that is :think: :biggrin:
Just sayin....

because Kanye IS a jackass..............and Crowley acted accordingly....
So he can verbalize an opinion on one and not the other?

This doesn't answer the question. It doesn't matter what Crowley's opinion was. It doesn't matter that the two incidents are really different. What I'm asking is, why would Obama get a pass for having an opinion on one and not the other? Neither situation required presidential comment, however, he exercised his right as an American to free speech and gave an opinion.
I'd hate to think it's because in one situation he's defending a black man and in the other a white girl. One doesn't get a pass and the other does.
BTW, I'm taking this to the discussion area. It's not random enough anymore. :biggrin:
How about this, what Obama said was not meant for the public ears to hear. It was said off the record while doing CNBC interviews, ABC tweeted the comment without knowing that it was off the record. I'm sure that there are MANY things that the President says that are not meant for public ears. Let's take it one step further. Maybe he wasn't defending a white girl, maybe he was defending women. West humiliated two women that night, one black, and one white.
In the former, when Obama expressed his opinion, it wasn't off the record, and he didn't know the details of the actions taken.
I don't know about getting a pass, but it looks to me that he wasn't speaking without thinking this time.
Anybody volunteer to come and clean the carpet in the other half of the room I'm finishing up today? :biggrin:
Sure, be right there. :biggrin:
You're sure up early. Isn't there a 3hr time difference 'tween here and there?
Yep, I have to be up by 4:30 to get my daughter and myself ready by 6:00 to be at work by 6:30. That is if I can "sleep in". Normally I wake up an hour or more before that unable to go back to sleep. I guess that's insomnia, but I feel fully rested so I go with it. ;D
I've never been an early riser and I always hated it when I had to get up that early to pack ex-hubby's lunch and get him off to work and the kids off to school.

When I met my husband, we spent an evening talking to each other like old friends catching up on the news. He is my hero and my best friend. And he asked me to marry him two weeks after we met. I would say if you found that, you are exceptionally lucky.

Okay, so if there's a family member or friend of the family playing that makes it more enjoyable, but I like the chill, smell of the autumn air which is a mixture of wood smoke from someone's fireplace and fresh popped corn.

LOL, I don't know. I saw that on a friends status message over on Myspace and figured it was worth sharing.
I know I am impressed with his ability to remain a regular guy despite the successes. His interview post game on the field struck me as genuine and I couldn't have been more shocked. Gushing about his little brother's (Eli) success on Sunday, (Unheard of in the NFL!), and how he motivated himself to do his best to imitate that success was smarmy; but it just goes to show you that he loves the game and for the Mannings it is a family tradition and competition.
I was texting with a friend in Miami during the game last night, and both of us commented on the games being so competitive over the weekend. (At least the regionally televised ones anyway).
The start of this years football season has been a great one. Great competition, great action, and thrillers! :yes: If it carries through the entire season the NFL will gain some new fans.
The downside is that they'll use that to increase their ability to rape cities across the land to fund even more new stadiums on the citizen's dime. . . :icon_evil:

Hubby mentioned that earlier.
I can see it's going to be one of those days on the forum. If it goes on too long, I may end up in the vents thread.......
I got a headache that is kicking my butt.... :(
Sucks being you. :razz:
well, now what?
friday is here and still no winning lottery ticket
lick a toad
Got ham and beans on for supper and now for a nap........ :yes: :biggrin:
Burritos for supper. Got the meat fixed, fixin's ready. Just nuke, dress, roll, and chow down!
But first I have to prep the beef, pork, and chicken for the freezer! :spooked:
Fall is here, the tree out front has gone red and is shedding its leaves with each wind. (And we get a LOT of that out this way). I expect it will be naked by this time next week. . . Can the white stuff be very far behind? :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
Should I get a flu shot?...........I got ten minutes to decide..........does anybody have any feed back on this?
I say get one! Better safe than sorry ya' know. My dad gets one every year and never has had any sort of problems with them.
I would get one. Never hurts to be on the safe side.
I got mine yesterday. I get one every year. People that "get sick" afterward are already incubating germs to a cold because the flu shot is not live flu germs. Only the flu spray is live. They would have gotten sick at that time anyway. If you plan to do any flying this winter, I would certainly consider it.
That's a good point. A plane is a good place to pick up a bug.
It's done...just got it....and I even got a cherry sucker.... :yes:
Ohhh, cherry is my favorite. :)
I'm probably gonna pass on the shot again this year. I'm really pushing my luck though 'cause last time I had the flu was '85' and the numbers are working against me I know. I'm a little leery though 'cause I'm allergic to an ingredient in the serum although I understand there are serums made without it. With my luck I'd get the wrong one though. :-\
Are you allergic to eggs?
I would say as long as you aren't traveling, working with children, or in a hospital setting you are probably ok by just washing your hands.
Not eggs its Thimersal I'm allergic to. I used some contact lens cleaner with that in it once and my eyes swelled shut and hurt for 2 days even though I rinsed the contacts off real good so the nurse I talked to said I shouldn't take the shot.
I'm getting one, or perhaps two, as I do each year. The regular flu shot and the H1N1 version when it is available.
I normally skip it every year, but I think I'm going to get it for my daughter this year.
I'm at a playathon for my daughter's school band.
So, support your local bands AND
your local junior bands :biggrin:
Why do I have the feeling I'm gonna get rained on tonight if I go out? :-\

It does but I didn't lock it down and doubt it's going anywhere...the reason I had it off to begin with is the tub has set unused at the new GF's house for years and the cover was water-logged so I stood it up to see if it would drain out. It's a lot lighter than it was but I'm not finished with it yet.

Well, as it turned out hubby started organizing my CD's so I haven't made it to the basement yet. Since I have 8 different holders and 2 huge stacks I thought it would be nice if I got them in some sort of order so he could put them in alphabetical order. It's been driving him nuts for 9yrs and he figured today was the day....LOL So far I've ended up with a stack of dups to take to Dave's and sell and I haven't gone through the odd ball stuff yet. Heck I liked one Black Crowes CD so well I bought it 3 times as well as one of the Eagle's CD's. I think my oldest and youngest daughters will want those though so they might not make it to Dave's.

I have a ton of it and rarely even look at it. I just like havin' it just in case. I used to play a lot and try to learn songs when the kids were little and in school but got away from it. Only two songs I learned half right were Moonlight Sonata and Bohemian Rhapsody 'cause I really like them. I had them memorized and can hardly play them at all now...LOL Of course that was a "couple" of years ago that I learned them and didn't touch a piano for a loooong time. I'm one of those that can play a something on anything I pick up but the only thing I learned to play well, and have lost some of that, is the guitar.

Feed the Chupacabras! Got goats?
It seems the chupacabras have developed a taste for kittens.
This happened about 10 miles from where I live.
http://www.somdnews.com/stories/09302009/indytop174109_32182.shtml (http://www.somdnews.com/stories/09302009/indytop174109_32182.shtml)
A citizen insisted the animal was a legendary, blood-sucking creature called a chupacabra, and a subsequent press release said it resembled a monkey.
But nobody really knows what sort of animal a man saw as he was walking through some fields at a White Plains farm Sept. 19, according to Charles County spokeswoman Crystal Hunt.
The maybe-monkey was brownish, about 4 to 5 feet tall and had long, gangly arms when the citizen saw it lying in the field, Hunt said. The animal ran into the woods as the man neared it.
Sheriff's officers and animal control workers went to the field at about 5 p.m., but didn't find any tracks or other signs of the creature.
But next to a nearby barn, several dead kittens were discovered by police, one of which was partially dismembered, according to Hunt.
I saw my Dad in myself last night. He always hated Japanese products. Wouldn't buy anything made in Japan. I never understood his attitude until last night.
I was out shopping and saw a nice shirt. But then I looked at the label. It was made in Vietnam. I have a hard time with dealing with that. Memories of my Dad and my arguments with him came flooding over me to the point where I was almost in tears.
I'm sorry, Dad. I understand now.
I googled myself and came up with this:

I was fortunate enough to have several of those moments when my father was still with us, and each time I seized upon the event to tell him about it. It was a very rewarding experience each time for me and made us closer.
I saw my father again last night in my "dreams". It had been awhile since I had last saw him and I reminded him of how those moments have continued even after his crossing. . . He is the captain of a fishing boat now, and the lake is crystal clear; supporting very large specimens of largemouth bass. He is doing very well and is very happy; except for missing his family.

My oldest son's gf, who I happen to be crazy about, has been in Australia for the last 4 weeks studying abroad. Last week, it was spring break there, and she went to Bali, Indonesia to visit a foreign exchange student that lived with her and her family ten years ago...long story, short....my son nor her Mom and Dad has heard from her since the Earth Quake and Tsunami earlier this week.
The earth quake was several hundreds of miles from where she was, but I am a little nervous, and would sleep much better IF, she could communicate to us, and let us know she is safe.
We've got waaaaaay too much stuff.....Next time I go anywhere and think some little knickknack is cute and think I just have to have it I'm gonna think about having to clean it on down the line.

Who had a lower lifetime earned run average?
A. Cy Young
B. Whitey Ford
C. Babe Ruth
D. Sandy Koufax
Although Sandy Koufax is my all-time favorite pitcher, his era doesn't qualify him.
A shot in the dark -- although I know Ruth was a great pitcher before they got him into the lineup more to take advantage of his bat -- I'll say "The Babe."
He was also an all-star drinker.
Hubby says Sandy is his guess.

What I meant was if the guy was only tucking a $1 there must be a reason....Well, I guess it could be because he's broke....

If she's real hot, they will tuck 5 or 10 1's to keep her coming back. LOL
I used to work in a strip club down in Florida. I think I saw it all in that one place.
Don't be looking at me all funny. I wasn't a dancer, just a waitress.

Might be having to learn Russian so I can talk to my grandson. He's in school to become a translator and that's the language the Navy chose for him. He's doing quite will and has my daughter texting him in Russian some. By the time he gets to come home on leave again I'll probably have forgotten what few words I did pick up while he was here last week...He's supposed to use it as much as possible so it will become second nature. He said it's really easy to learn, ya right. :rolleyes:

I would agree with you if I didn't have a few other indicators....school days and visitation days...otherwise, unless someone calls me to come work, they are all the same.

So I happen to be friends on Facebook with two current real life friends as opposed to them being friends from times gone by. I routinely see both of them, one male, one female, and they're both married, however not to each other. Last week the male sends out a funny Youtube video to me and the female. After a couple of comments from us both, I heard nothing of it until today.
This morning I check my inbox and there was 1 message however it contained two posts. The male hit "reply all" which copied me on what the female said to him. This was the exchange that happened this morning.
Female to male:
Missing u this morning :(
Male to female:
Me too. Can't stop thinkin bout u
:spooked: :spooked: :spooked:
Oh boy!! That is not cool. LOL
Reminds me of something I once saw on IRC between two forum posters. Something about thanksgiving and sitting one of the two on the table to be eaten like a ham?? LOL
Or one I saw on Hey Martha chat when one of the people in the private chat left and the response hit the main window, and I don't think I will repeat that one. LOL
LMFAO! Doh!

Yeah, you wouldn't have seen it, because you didn't use the IRC chat I had set up. But they used it frequently after the Hey Martha chat was shut down. As a matter of fact, when it was said only I and a poster going by the name of Sailor were in the chatroom. BUT I do have the chat archived for posterity.
Now the second one....that one was never saved, and there were a whole heckuva lot more people in the chat. The graceful response to the snafu was an 'oops' and a chuckle. It was great. And I laughed until I had tears. Probably why I remember it so well.....though there might be another reason. :wink:

He devoted himself to his ailing wife and got a new job in the housing development/sales area. I've heard him on a couple of radio commercials, but nothing in the last year, I'd say.

Hubby decided to have what might our last fire of the season tonight. We haven't had one for a few weeks and he didn't want to miss out on what might be the last decent night for one. He's really hoping to get another in but that will be up to Mother Nature. A couple of years ago we did have a couple in Nov. IIRC
and you didn't call me?

We got some of that pork loin that was on sale. We eat a lot of it and the guy who cuts it like he has some brains was there so we got 4 of them. I'm referring to the store on 29th of course. Got a bunch of the 10 fers too so we're pretty well stocked.

I get to stay out of the meat department this winter. I put a cow and a pig, along with several chickens inside the big freezer last month. :biggrin: Got room left for a deer or two, and that's on my list of fall activities. A brace or two of pheasant will be joining them! :yes:
We bought another one of those Food-Savers to seal it all up with. If you don't have one check them out! They extend the time you can keep stuff in the freezer
substantially! :yes: Our old one burned out finally after several years of abuse. (Wally world had the best prices on them, and we looked everywhere before we bought. What else am I doing anyway?) :biggrin:

If it works, the Food Saver, let me know. I had an older Seal A Meal and I loved it but I tried two of the newer ones and they didn't seal as well because they didn't get hot enough to seal the bags properly and they sat in the freezer and unsealed.
I just wrap meat, each piece separately, in plastic wrap put them in freezer bags and squeeze the air out before I seal the bag completely and it works fine for me. Somehow we missed rotating some chicken breasts and we found a package that was almost two years old and they were still fine.
I haven't had pheasant for years. Where do you find it? I like quail too but those cornish game hens are almost as good.

It works great. The old one was a Food Saver and it worked just fine. Keeps meat and veggies fresh for a couple years and no freezer burn. We bought this one about a month ago and it works just like the one it replaced.

Seriously???
It's 6 years worth of taxes that haven't been paid by the property management company. The first 3 years, we were paying the house payment WITH the amount towards taxes in that. It's been messed up every since, but they haven't paid a dime. I paid over $500 on it earlier this year because the utility company put a lien on it. I'm waiting on the inheritance to pay out to see if I can just take over this house by paying the taxes. If it doesn't go up for sale first. :(

If you have a microwave with different settings try covering it with wax paper and doing it for 5 to 8min at the 4 or 5 setting, 4 is better, and the meat shouldn't turn into shoe leather. When I do something like a pork chop I wrap it in a paper towel and put a cup of water in with it and it stays soft like when it was fresh cooked same applies to chicken and beef.
Thanks "me!" I'll try that next time. :yes:
I go through a lot of wax paper but that's cheaper than throwing away food. :yes:

Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,

Sorry, I love Macbeth. ;D
Why am I still up?
Because you get an extra hour. :wink:
Hum. that's right. Wonder why my 'puter didn't change.
Mine changed. At least the laptop did....I'll have to check the desktop when I get home.
Mine didn't even after the update a few weeks ago.
Do you have your time settings for Indiana time? or Eastern? Used to be Indiana time didn't have the daylight savings enabled.
I just noticed it changed sometime today. Don't know why it didn't change last night.
Duh, never mind. I looked at a clock I hadn't changed yet....LOL I moved it back manually. Guess if it won't stay I'll go into DOS and change it.

What OS is it running and what's your time zone?
Quote from: Locutus on November 01, 2009, 07:50:57 PM

Windows XP and DST
Depending on how XP landed on that machine, you may be running a version of XP without the DST patch installed. If you recall, XP was already out when the government decided to extend DST both in the spring and in the fall. The original versions of XP didn't (and couldn't) take that into account because it hadn't happened yet. As a result, MSFT released a patch that would allow computers running XP to be able to figure out when to change the time going forward.
You can find the patch here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=66F1420C-DF2D-400B-A8A9-EF9061A9A3CA&displaylang=en
I think I might have to do it again since it didn't work when they sent the update. I did have the option for DST and it isn't there now for some reason. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow when I'm more awake. Thanks for the link.
But if you just used the Eastern time zone option...you didn't need to the patch. That's only if you kept it on Indiana Eastern.
I changed it to Eastern time (US/Canada) and the DST option is back. It must have changed it when it updated and I didn't notice....duh Thanks :smile:

Bill Cosby is on my list of my "all-time" favorite people.... :yes:
"Take It Back"
Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire
She could take it back, she might take it back someday
So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep
Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep
And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit to see if she will break
She might take it back, she could take it back some day
Now I have seen the warnings, screaming from all sides
It's easy to ignore them and god knows I've tried
All this temptation, it turned my faith to lies
Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide
She can take it back, she will take it back some day

Hah! You should have seen them down in Brown County! At one point we were in a line of motorcycles at least a mile long, behind two trucks pulling travel trailers at 15 mph. The cops finally made them pull over so we could all get through! :biggrin:

Well, it was a beautiful day for taking the steel horse out for a stretch of the legs; and probably one of the last good days we'll have for quite some time. I had her out yesterday too, but today we went for a nice long cruise. :yes: And we had a LOT of company on this one. It was nice because on the way back we were the first to peel off and head for the barn. The rest of them live in Delaware county and so had a way to go beyond Anderson. Typically it has been the other way around! :biggrin:
I may get another day or two in before I have to put her up for the winter, so I intend to procrastinate on doing so for as long as possible. It is the therapy I need! 8)
I can't wait until I get a new job. I want a new set of pipes and the Screaming Eagle 110 kit installed on her sometime next year. . . :biggrin:
. . . Speaking of Screaming Eagles. . . Saw a 2010 Screaming Eagle Street Glide at the bar we stopped at. MAN what a motorcycle! First one I have seen up close and personal. And for 31k a copy it is likely one of the few times I'll see one.
Looked just like this one!

The wife and I snuck off yesterday afternoon on the Goldwing. Rode up to Crawfordsville for some lunch, then down through the country to Ladoga, after that it was over to Jamestown, then down to IN 240 and back across it to Greencastle. From there we headed south to Worthington, where it was time to head towards home :'( We wound our way back west to IN 63, and followed it north. Only 240 miles for us, but our time was limited.
I thought about riding to Brown County, but based on past experience I knew it would be crowded, so I took a different loop.
Really Story was the only truly crowded portion, with the exception of the truck/trailer clogging incident! Other than that it was fairly smooth sailing.
It's shaping up to be a nice morning. I may have to get out some more. . . :smile:
Well that's good to hear, glad it wasn't crowded. We were down there a few (OK, quite a few) years ago on the M/C, on the last nice week end of the year, and could have walked through Nashville faster than we rode.
Lot of deer on the move though! :spooked: Saw plenty of antlered road kills too. Thankfully that was not an issue for us! :yes:
That's the one thing that had me white knuckling yesterday, fear of a 4 legged beast presenting itself just beyond the curve or over the rise. . . They are very thick down that way! :spooked:
Think I'm gonna play a couple of 'puter games then take a nap which should occupy my time 'til around 3:00pm and then it's outside to enjoy the rest of the day..... :yes: 8)

If you have some peroxide mix some with water and swish it around on your mouth. It should help. If you gag easy mix it 1/4 peroxide and 3/4 water if not you can make it a little stronger. My youngest daughter does it full strength but I can't handle the bubbling so I mix it light. If you don't have peroxide use warm salt water. Don't work as good but it does help some.
I took an aleve and went to sleep. That worked for me. Usually I use a strong mouthwash (like listerine without the frilly flavor)
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered. 'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'.The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'
'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.
'There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'

No distortion with glass and my last experience with plastic was a bad one. I get motion sickness real easy and that added to the problem. It's also like looking though smoke or a haze all the time.

Polycarbonate lenses require that you pay attention to how you care for them; they scratch if you use the wrong type of cloth to clean them, and cloud if you use the wrong kind of cleaners on them. Outside of that the optics are comparable to glass, without the weight hanging on your nose.
I am on my third pair of them and find them wonderful. In fact I even went with a lightweight plastic frame this time. About the only thing I find irritating is that sometimes I forget I have the things on! :biggrin: And yes, I wear no line bifocals! :biggrin:
Use the cloth and cleaner they provide you with to maintain them and you'll never have a problem with them.
I've worn glasses since I was 9 and always had glass so the weight don't really bother me and even the glass lenses are lighter now than they used to be. My pair before this last pair were the polycarbonate and I had the same problem with them as with plastic. I was unaware what they were because I had requested glass and couldn't figure out why I was having so much trouble seeing right and they finally fessed up and replaced the lenses with glass ones for me and I was fine so it's not my imagination since I thought they were glass. I don't have bifocals so that wasn't the problem either.
Bifocals suck! And when that doctor told me I should consider trifocals......uh....no thanks. I have enough of a problem with 2 strengths in one lense. Not to mention...I can't get progressive...so lined is what I end up with. If I had extra bucks...I'd take my scrip over to walmart and get them there.....no lines, and nice frames for a decent price. I'd be happy.
Oh those Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down; Oh there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her night on the town; But the hills ans bills and a week's worth of deals has got him feelin' more than used; Oh, he's kicking his shoes off she's putting hers on she's got the Friday night bluuuuuues!

Local forecasts predict between 2-5 inches on the ground by the time it is over. I hope they get 12-18 inches! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
That'll sure bring things to a stand still......
I was amused the other day when 21 (did I announce that birthday change back in May?) Called me the other day from Texas and was telling me that it was snowing. She was MAD...LOL. She said it's not supposed to snow in Texas and she didn't like it. Then she sent me a picture of her car in a text message with snow on it.
Ya know....It's funny when ya start collecting stuff ya don't realize how much of it you've accumulated over the years until ya start cleanin' it...... :rolleyes: My middle daughter got all my bone china animals when I cleaned the stuff in my curio cabinet...now she can clean 'em... :biggrin: Now doing tins, covered wagons, figurines that sit out, picture glass, gun racks, swords, guns, and stuff like that.....ugh....Might have to have a biiiiiig yard sale come spring........ :yes:

Ok, ya'll have slept long enough...time to get up.... :biggrin:

Thank goodness for scotch tape. Just pulled a thousand tiny hair like cactus stickers out of my finger....I really should get rid of that thing.... :rant: It was rooting in the plant next to it and the curtain so I had to pull it out....bet I put gloves on next time.... :yes: Heck, last winter a piece fell off of it I didn't notice it and it rooted into the carpet under the stand I had it sitting on. I've had it for years though and I really hate to get rid of it but it's getting out of hand.

No, it's cold in Anderson. 10 degrees is COLD. And it's not much above that in my house. If the darn wind would quit blowing, it might warm up a tad. I'm thinking of thowing my gloves on, but it might be a little hard to type then.

I was out working for a few hours this morning. I did not really think that it was all that cold but I sure hated how slow I had to move because of all of the ice.

Do you realize how much more accurate the predictions were before all this new computerized stuff came about? The Farmer's Almanac used to be pretty darn accurate without all that stuff. I have a weather rock somewhere and I think I might just have to resort to that..... :biggrin:
Sounded awfully crunchy when that car went by just now.....It went by kind of slow too... :-\
Well it seems to be fine out this morning. I've been out to the porch twice now to smoke...and even though it's wet out, I can deal with the small chill.
Had me worried about what the weather was going to be like today.
someone needs to turn on the heater. i need to find something to do today. maybe i will make prank calls, thats a good inside activity
Ain't near as safe now with caller ID and all though..... :grinch:
okay, new plan then. it is so hard to find inside activities now! guess i will go do laundry then

I knew we should have done our runnin' Monday.....I don't want to go out....... :no:
Me neither. . . but I have to I suppose. :rant:
It really wasn't bad out since the sun was out and there's no wind.
Well I got sheared and did a bit of the shopping I have left to do. The rest I am putting off until tomorrow to combine tasks; since I have to go to Muncie tomorrow I can do that. . . :icon_twisted:
While I was in the barber-shop, there were 4 U.S. Army Sgt's in the shop. I listened to their banter as they took turns getting into the chair. Whenever the barber turned the topic to family and the holidays, one or more of them would make a short answer and turn the subject toward something else.
Before long the barber just came right out and asked them why they didn't seem to want to talk about the holidays and family. One spoke up and said that all 4 of them are from other states and cannot get home to their families until after the New Year because of their work. . .
As I sat in the chair I reflected on the many times I had found myself in the same situation throughout my years, and how my own son had spent several holiday seasons in a foreign country within an active theater of operations. I remember how depressed it would make me to think about what and who I was missing, and so I did what these guys were doing and just not think about it. I recall my son telling me he dealt with it similarly. . .
By the time the barber got finished with me, the 3rd guy was also getting out of the chair. I walked up to him and thanked him for his service to our country, shook his hand, and wished him a merry Christmas; then did the same with the other 3. We talked for a bit about their work and what brought them to Anderson, and eventually I got around to asking them what they had planned for the holiday next week. . .
Each year on Christmas Day evening, my wife and I cook a special dinner for our close friends and family members who can make it. This year my son and his new wife are attending. It is always a special time for my wife and I, and this year we have a really big ham to cook.
I fished around in my coat for a pen and some paper. I wrote down my name, address, and phone number on 4 pieces of paper and handed them to these four men in uniform. I told them that if they had no other plans and could find their way to that address, that my family and friends would be honored to have them come to our home for a dinner of baked Ham and all the trimmings, and spend some time with us doing the usual holiday stuff, games, carols, adult beverages, and maybe even a movie or something.
One of them asked me with his eyes welling up, "Why would you do this? You don't even know us."
I told him about the years my own son spent in similar situations and told him that he would be here this year too, and that I am sure my son would be more than pleased to see them there. Then I told them all, You guys don't know me either, yet you put on that uniform and you risk your lives to defend the rights of everyone. That's enough for me, my family, and friends. You guys are welcome in our home and we would be honored to have you if you will come. It is the least we can do for you.
I hope they come! :smile:
Thank you for that PH. Two of my daughters were also in that situation as well as others in my family. I had one daughter stationed in Iceland and the other in Germany for two Christmas' and it was hard on all of us. I do hope they show up and you all enjoy your day to the fullest.

PH -You are the most genuinely thoughful and generous person that I've never met :biggrin: What a heartwarming perspective you have and what an absolutely wonderful gesture. :yes:
I dunno about all of that, but I have been in the dumps over the last few weeks.
I suppose it kind of goes back to something Pari posted about taking the most enjoyment out of being able to give rather than receive. Having the year 2009 turned out to be for me certainly doesn't lend itself toward the ability to give material things, and I suppose that has been the driver behind it all. . . I just can't afford to do what I normally do this year. . .and it has been dragging me down. . .
But I have been thinking about that too. . . And when I was listening to those men it just kind of hit me that right here was an opportunity to do what I can do right now, and so I did not hesitate. I called my wife and told her about it and she's excited about it as well.
So I guess while on the surface it appears to be some kind of act of kindness, there's some personal greed buried in there too; for like Pari, I also take the greatest enjoyment from being able to give rather than receive. Those 4 men presented me with an opportunity to do that with what I have, rather than what I wish I had. And right now that is a very welcome situation for a lot of us.
I just sincerely hope they take me up on it! :yes:
Horseguy -- Big "Thumbs Up" to ya.
Just the offer made the year for those guys, whether they show up or not.
Woulda made a huge difference to me back in the day.
FTW is right as usual. :yes: Even to feel that way shows what generous hearts you and Mrs. Horse and Pari have.
So, I'll be by myself for Christmas day this year...if I leave Monday.... :biggrin:
Not to embarrass PH, but IF you was to look in the dictionary for class act.... :yes: ..you would see a picture of the horse there... :yes: ...I hope they show up and it is a win/win situation for all.

You know, I never think of anything I say on here to really spark an inspiration in anyone. I just tell about myself, so everyone will know me in ways that just banter on the forum doesn't always bring to the surface.
Over the years I have found that the best I can ever do for anyone is to give them a meal. I've done this for years, when I've had even less than those I was inviting to the meal. I enjoy the company, usually, and I enjoy being able to share with someone else what I have the ability to share.
I hope those soldiers take you up on the offer, I've got a feeling that your home is a lot like mine during the holiday dinner. A lot of talk, laughter and just mutual enjoyment. Though with the young kids, my house gets VERY loud.
The best gifts come from the most unexpected places. . .

Supposed to snow here this weekend. Probably another false alarm though. . . :rolleyes:
I hope so 'cause we've got a Christmas party to go to in Alex Sat night. Hope it's a false alarm that is. Now Sunday it can snow all it wants to.
I have this urge to clarify something for those that aren't from around here. 'me' is going to Alex this weekend. Just so you know....it's a town near Anderson, called Alexandria. But locals just call it Alex...which is pronounced....."El-ick"
It just kinda cracks me up when I see it written, and it's not spelled anything like it sounds. :wink:

well merry christmas eve eve.
wooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo
the fat man will soon arrive!
i should probably do the rest of my xmas shopping today...
My starting and finishing will have to wait until tomorrow. With any luck...I might be able to actually make it look like Christmas here Friday morning. I'm feeling a lot better about it anyway. :)
May you ALL find peace and joy!

Just installed a brand new Cisco 802.11n wireless router. The wireless downstream is now in excess of 20 mbps.
Blazing compared to the 802.11b router I had before.

Never heard of it but I seem to like anything with Cool Whip or cream cheese in it so I'd probably like it even though I don't like yogurt.

How much does one of those babies cost? I'm considering a new one myself after the holidays. . .
Got supper over with, my pies in the oven, the ham out thawing and the kitchen cleaned up. Now all I have to do tomorrow is vacuum, make the 'tater salad and macaroni salad, and rest up for the houseful Christmas day. :biggrin2:
Had a little more of a mess to clean up than I had expected 'cause I used the wrong bowl and flung pie filling all over the place..... :rolleyes: I have two bowls that are the same size quantity wise but one is made so that the sides are higher and I wasn't thinking as usual.... :groan:
:biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :grinch:
I'm waiting for the sun to come up so that I can head out and pick up my Christmas gift to myself and stop by the liquor store for some Holiday cheer for dinner tomorrow. :biggrin:

If you do not have to go out today, then don't! :spooked:
It is raining and sleeting and will soon turn to ice.
The stores are all jammed up, with people starting fights.
I went for some milk and other staples there,
And the people in there just aren't being fair!
They're elbowing, and gouging, and slinging left hooks,
You get shoved around, and smacked with their books.
No, I am staying home this dreary Xmas eve,
Not mixing it up with some guy in short sleeves!
It's a zoo out there folks! Hope you don't have to go out! :grinch:

Thank goodness I don't have to go out. I kind of figured it would be crazy out there today with all the last minute stuff going on.
At this point in time I do believe I am done with the stores. Though I think I may have one more place to go, for a present I didn't think I was going to be able to get.......Thanks to the mailman for making a delivery I was sure I wasn't going to get before Christmas.
it was a wonderful christmas here!

When we were using real trees we used to cut about an inch off the bottom and put 3 asprin in the holder and that kept it from losing needles as bad. We always tried to find angel pines too which helped.
I stopped killing trees and instead chose to kill the environment with artificial trees. :grinch:

We've got cacti up the wazoo in our house. We even named them: Bullwinkle, Holmes, etc. . . .
Maybe I'll try to post a picture or two of them. Bullwinkle is about 5'3" tall! We got Holmes about 4 years ago when he was about 4 inches, he is now just under 3 feet tall.

Up until this year we've used the living trees. Even after we moved into an apt we'd get a living tree and just take it back. This year we went to the Christmas tree farm of a friend and now I'm feeling guilty for killing a tree :(

Well, I let off about a half dozen mortars and I was surprised to see I was the only one.
I was also surprised to hear the high volume of semi-automatic gunfire! I heard a couple of AK 47's for sure. At least one of them had a high volume mag or two! :spooked:

I've always fired straight into the ground whenever I did that in the very distant past. I'd much rather have to dig up a water pipe than deal with the fact my stupidity killed someone. . . :spooked:
Heck the cost and scarcity of ammo these days made me think most of those idiots would have saved the rounds. . . Guess not. Guess there's a reason they call em idiots eh? :icon_twisted:

I asked my wife stay under the shelter of our porch roof. She asked me what kind of fireworks those were and I told her it was gunfire. . . She scooted onto the porch pronto!
It was total silent here for a change. Usually our neighborhood has fireworks and guns going on for 15min after midnight but not this year for some reason.
there is a movie coming on tonight... it's called "midnight meat train". hmm that could be interpreted a number of ways.

oops that second discount was $220.
Is there anything much left in that mall?
not really. theyre now calling it town square-meeting room and free wifi and tv area added to boost traffic. going downhill fast.
why do you suppose that is?
Same thing as Mounds. . . no decent anchor stores and a depressed economy. . .
Where's Mounds?
Mounds Mall shopping Center on Scatterfield Road in Anderson, IN. Opened around 1964 or 65, first enclosed mall in Indiana.
I haven't been inside the Mall for about a year and a half now. Well, I was in Sears but didn't go out into the Mall so I have no clue what is still there.

Is it B.Dalton's? I heard this morning that Borders is closing all of them. The article was actually about Laredo, TX who will have zero bookstores in a city of 250,000 once theirs is closed! I figure it's no big deal...it's not like Texans can read anyway. :biggrin:

What mall is it? I seriously doubt anyone is raising their rents in this economic environment. I'm in the industry and am seeing all sorts of concessions being made to tenants just to keep them in the malls.
The mall ~vxn~ and I are talking about is far from Indiana (and Texas, for that matter). I'll leave it to ~vxn~ as to how precise a geographical reference she wishes to make. I'm very familiar with the location, having spent some time examining some of the flora and fauna of the area.

It doesn't matter where the mall is; all of the big commercial property management portfolios have malls all over the country, all of them are facing the same issues and all of them rent to the same national tenants. Trust me, no one is raising rents right now...rather the opposite. Stores are closing primarily because they aren't selling enough merchandise to stay profitable. In B. Dalton's case, Borders has made the decision to close all of those mall-based stores in favor of free standing Borders so they may eventually build one near vxn.
Interestingly, I never really considered norther Ohio far from Indiana. :wink:

As is her decision to divulge that information should she so choose. I've known for quite some time what part of the country she is in based on information she made public on other sites, links to which she posted on her profile here. If she is comfortable doing so, it isn't your job to second guess that decision.

i'm making a, probably un-called for, remark about Harry Reid's outrageous comments he recently made....
Reference to Reid's comments.
Of course, he was just making observations about all the racist conservatives and how those people think about voting. And he was right. You ought to hear the commentary I hear at the small town restaurant where I go for coffee nearly every day. Small town and ultra conservative. "Negro" and "light skinned" are COMPLIMENTS to them.
And they don't have much to say in a positive way about all the research that is being done to improve their lives by "them damn college kids and their friggin' perfessers."
yeah, but comment's from some punk kids is one thing, but for these kind of comments coming from the most powerful man in the Senate...are no comparison....

Wow. I thought I was the only one who noticed that kind of stuff. . . I hear it all the time around town here, and sad to say even from some of my friends. I've managed to bite my tongue thus far, but it is only a matter of time before my ability to stay quiet will wear dangerously thin. . .

You do realize that racism didn't begin w/ Reid and it won't end w/him. Instead of using Martin Luther King's words as a podium for your political bias why not acknowledge the big picture?
I'm wondering why my first cousin, who lives right here in Broward County Florida who I last saw 20 years ago this past Christmas (1989) who also:
1. Has never even called, spoken to, or attempted to reach any of our family in the area over the last 20 years.
2. Never gave his grandmother the opportunity to see her great-grandchildren while she was alive.
3. Didn't attend his grandmother's funeral when she died.
4. Didn't attend any of his cousin's weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, graduations, or other life milestones over the last 20 years.
.....decided to add me as a friend on Facebook last night.

And you actually believe that Reid is racist?
Nah. I think you jumped on a word because you want to paint him as a racist.

I don't understand it. I'm the only one he contacted. My (and his) other cousins are all on there and he could just has easily have contacted them as well, but didn't.
He may have had a hefty case of burning ears because we were all talking on Christmas Eve about the fact that it had been 20 years since any of us had seen him.
I accepted the friend request and posted a message for him. I said, "Hey Jimmy! 20+ years no talk to."
His reply: "Life gets busy with 4 girls in the house (1 wife and 3 kids)."
That was it. Nothing more, nothing less. I may delete him.

My point is not really if Reid is or isn't........but yet he, as leader of the US Senate, can still referr to African Americans as NEGRO's?.......or "light Skinned".....
seriously if Rush Limbaugh had said this.....the liberals would be so pissed and demanding he be fired from his radio show.....but THIS is a Senate Majority Leader....who speaks on behalf of the America's Senate
As if we haven't ever said worse in our lives.

If they did it today we'd have national oil day, and Computer/technology day.
lmfao-i have no comment at this time. hahahaha. run, kitty, run!
omg ph you are so wrong. valentines day started when women all got together at the yearly conference you men dont even KNOW about. and they decided to give men one day a year to earn one small chance to stay alive and fed. they chose february 14th so that all men could have the same day, believing it would end any excuses for not remembering the day. MEN are the ones who started advertising the date, so no one would forget. they did it because they have this tendency to want to continue to live until after the superbowl. now the flowers and candy came in because men are not real bright, and they all think that a little pink card, some flowers and a box of chocolates are what we want. now a smart man knows we want candles and breakfast in bed and wine and soft music. but we take the cards and flowers and the candy with a smile because we know they tried.
so there.

I had a go at one of my convervative Facebook friends who usually posts the daily Fox News talking points directly on her wall. She's clearly nuts, as she was trying to defend Pat Robertson for his recent remarks about the Haitian earthquake. Nobody ever challenges her on the BS that she posts, but the other day, I was feeling a bit feisty and decided to take her on. I basically used the written word to point out that she's an asshole without actually coming out and saying that.
Since then, I've received three private messages from relatives of hers (who I don't even know) thanking me for doing what I did and offering support for my remarks. Apparently, they don't like her views too much either. :rotfl:

I don't know how many of you are steak eaters and/or Travel Channel viewers, but the host of Man vs. Food on that network is here in South Florida. Tomorrow night at 9 PM, he's going to be at Shula's Steakhouse here on Miami Beach where he will attempt to eat Shula's Signature 48oz Porterhouse steak in a mere 20 minutes. The show will be aired live on the Travel Channel so check it out if you feel so inclined.
And just so you know exactly how much meat comprises 48oz, here's a picture of the steak. I'm going to have to tune in tomorrow night and watch.

I don't know how many of you are steak eaters and/or Travel Channel viewers, but the host of Man vs. Food on that network is here in South Florida.

More power to him is all I can say. That sure does look good. :yes:
It does look good but I could only eat about 1/4 of that damn thing in one sitting.
I love Shula's. There's one in downtown Indy.
Never ordered that porterhouse. I always got their cowboy steak and I have to say it remains the "gold standard" for me personally. :yes: (Haven't been there in quite awhile though).
I'd have to have a dynamite enema to induce a bowel movement after eating one of those porterhouses! :biggrin:
Well I'm going to tune in tomorrow at 9 and see if he can down that sucker in 20 minutes. That's 2.4 ounces of steak every minute.

that made me just want to roll around on it.
Sounds like a good time would be had by all. :smile:
Sandwich anyone?
My hand is up.
I'm surprised you can still hold it up there with that big ass sandwich in it! :biggrin:

Here it comes. . .
My daughter lives close to DC and this is the third storm they have had, her kids have had a lot of snow days and are certain to have more with this new storm. They are predicting 24 or more inches of the white stuff with blizzard like conditions. They have already had three times their normal season snowfall. I told her it is her fault since this is their first full winter in the area. :biggrin:
now they are saying 6 inches.
but we will see.
hope your mom comes home feelin just nifty!
4 to 8 out this way. We'll see is right!
Not a flake in sight.

Looks like this train is going to keep a rollin' all night long over Indiana.

There are quite a few cars with Indiana tags running around here and on the expressways. Wonder what they're doing in town. ;D

My SIL should be leaving work at Fishers about now but my granddaughter who works in Pendleton won't be getting off until 5:00 unless they decide to close the office and let her come home early.
Wife works at I 69 and 96th street and should be leaving here soon.

Then they talk to Ralph, the sewer god, calling upon him to help them.

I have a feeling it may not be much better for your drive home.
I'm planning on doubling that time going home....
Lets hope it has quit by then and they've had time to clean the roads and you're wrong about doubling the time.
I've been up for a little over and hour and have seen a plow go by twice and both times with the blade up. Whats with that?

Plow drivers have priorities within their assigned areas, the most important of which is to open up the primary roads, or main traffic arteries. Once this is accomplished, and it will take awhile with the snow still falling, a deicer substrate can be applied.
The problem with storms like this is that the wind blows the snow right back, and keeping the main roads cleared is a job that never ends.
There will be about a 4 hour window between noon and 4 pm in which the snow should stop falling; but the system is pinwheeling and expected to turn back toward us after that 4 hour window. MAYBE enough time to get the main roads cleared and deiced; IF the wind doesn't kick in to high gear, which it likely will at some point as the system wheels around.

I don't like it when they swing around for a second go 'cause they're usually worse. Of course I know that wouldn't break your heart.

Just came in and the main roads in Anderson are all pretty good, wet not not slick and we were uptown and over most of the south part of town running errands.
I was out running errands earlier and the main roads are "okay" but need some serious dressing up. Lots of ice turds all along the road and scattered about. Secondary roads are a crap shoot, and any along open areas are sure to be snow covered and possibly closed soon if they don't get to them quickly.
Wind is gusting it up out this way. I'll probably have to clear the drive again before sunset. . .

NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton underwent a procedure to place two stents in one of his coronary arteries, Clinton aide Douglas Band said in a statement on Thursday.
"President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts," the statement said.
In 2004, Clinton underwent a successful quadruple bypass operation to free four blocked arteries.

I say this because I nearly took the path this gentleman did because of it:
Quote. . .On 24 September 1980, Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin assistant Rex King to attend rehearsals at Bray Studios for an upcoming tour of the U.S.; the band's first since 1977. During the journey Bonham had asked to stop for breakfast, where he downed four quadruple vodkas (roughly sixteen shots, amounting to about half of an imperial quart or 473 ml). He then continued to drink heavily when he arrived at the rehearsals. A halt was called to the rehearsals late in the evening and the band retired to Page's house, The Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight on the 25th, Bonham had fallen asleep and was taken to bed and placed on his side. Benji LeFevre (who had replaced Richard Cole as Led Zeppelin's tour manager) and John Paul Jones found him dead the next afternoon.[17] Bonham was 32 years old.
Weeks later at the coroner's inquest, it emerged that in the 24 hours before he died, John Bonham had consumed forty shots of vodka which resulted in him vomiting and subsequent aspiration (inhaling) of his vomit, causing asphyxiation (he choked to death). A verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest held on 27 October.[17] An autopsy had found no other drugs in Bonham's body.[18] John Bonham was cremated and, on 12 October 1980, interred at Rushock Parish Church, Worcestershire.

That was my 27th birthday. I had a torrid affair with the stuff, preferring it "neat" and endless, to that point. On the evening in question I consumed 3/4 of a gallon of the elixir, and had a good friend not heard me aspirating the vomit and exercised the good sense to turn me onto my side, I'd have joined John Henry Bonham just 2 years after it had happened to him. I've never touched it since, not even in a mixed drink.

Hum, I guess maybe melatonin might be worth a try.
been there. nothing keeps me asleep. a few things help me get there-but never long. i could tranqualize myself-but refuse. i have children and need to be able to spring to action. though, this lack of sleep is maddening.

I don't think I've ever had insomnia attacks to that extent but I do go for a week or so at a time on 2 to 4hrs of sleep a night, with no nap I might add, and then one night I'll sleep for 6 or 8hrs and then the whole thing repeats itself again in a few days. I have two daughters who do that too and the youngest is real bad. She has gone for a couple of days on only 2hrs of sleep only her catch up nights are 10 to 12hrs.

wow, me-that's rough. i've had insomnia my entire life. ex-i hope so, then i'll know it's him and not me.
when i cant sleep i turn on cnn. works every time. but then i have nightmares about these heads that chase me shouting the same things over and over.
I too struggle with insomnia, and it has only increased with age. I use an otc sleep aid every night, but there are some nights when I may as well drink water. For those nights I have a prescription tranq to knock my ass out, but I hate taking it and usually do not unless I reach the magic 48 hour mark without sleep.
The very real and sneaky danger about this is that it is a key indicator of that nasty freight train called depression. Lose enough sleep and before you know it you'll be severely depressed. For me that point is 48 hours, and when I hit it I take the magic chemicals that will leave me sluggish for 1/2 the day after awaking from the chemically induced coma. But it beats crossing swords with depression.
While I myself have not ever really suffered from it, I have had a wife that suffered from it big time. Because of this I know the danger signs and do everything I can to make sure I avoid it. I saw it drive her quite literally insane, to the point where I had to have her forcefully admitted for professional care.
I strongly suggest you try to identify a means to provide for the safety and welfare of your children on those nights you have to resort to better sleeping through chemistry; since it is the biggest impediment to your using the drug. Maybe an overnight at a friends, or at grandma's, etc? You cannot continue to function at a reasonable and responsible level without sleep, and rolling the dice with depression is NOT a safe gamble for anyone.
Sleep deprivation makes me a very ugly person to be around, and I damned well know it. And the longer it goes on the uglier I get. I am sure it is the same for everyone, with the main differences being our personal limits and thresholds for endurance.
It sounds like you have already brought a health care professional into the loop surrounding this problem, but I will say this just in case; if you have not you need to do so as soon as you can. Delaying it will only magnify the problem exponentially.
As a rule I don't really feel tired though so I just don't go to bed. I have found the more active I am during the day the better I sleep at night though once I finally do go to bed. Some nights I just plain have trouble shutting my mind off. I'm thinking about trying some Chamomile tea although my daughter has told me it doesn't really taste very good. Just the threat of it used to calm my grand kids down when they were moving to a different state for SIL's job and had to stay in a motel for a couple of weeks....LOL What irks me is I used to be able to drive for 5 or 6hrs at a stretch with only one or two potty breaks without getting tired and now 2hrs is it and I'm ready to conk out but the minute I get in the passengers seat I wake right up....Hum, gives me an idea....I might go get one of those driving simulators and turn it on and sit behind the wheel when I can't sleep.... :biggrin:
doesnt matter id i do nothing all day or walk 10 miles, bowflex for 2 hours, yoga for 1-i still cant sleep. i can be dead tired-nothing. im darker than most ppl to begin with-sleep deprivation isnt helping.
Have you tried Melatonin? You can get it in the vitamin section of most stores like Walmart, Target, drug stores. It's something our bodies produce anyway so while it aids sleep it doesn't produce any side effects. I take a tablet before I go to bed and and I can feel my entire body relax.
I actually enjoy insomnia to a certain extent. It gives me more time to do things....like play on the forum :biggrin: So I only use Melatonin if I haven't had good sleep in a while and it's taking it's toll on my outlook/personality.
I can sleep when I'm dead. :icon_twisted:
i'm so tired-i feel dead. melatonin can get me there-but not keep me there.
took a nap yesterday. couple hours. pretty good nightmare. slept very little last night. again.
The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,
When 24 hours in a day is not enough;
remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly,
he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and start to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again
if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand
and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else
He asked once more if the jar was full... The students responded
With an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions
Things that if everything else was lost
and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
important to you..
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time
to clean the house and fix the dripping tap.
'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand
and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Nope not this time. Actually it should be ok 'cause it's just stuffed cabbage but I couldn't find a recipe without sugar in it or that I wouldn't have to go to the store to get a missing ingredient and the one I have has sauerkraut in it and, although hubby likes it, he didn't think it sounded good with the stuffed cabbage so I just winged it. At any rate I have them cooking in the slow cooker now and cut up potatoes for enough mashed 'taters to fill us up just in case. The alternate is a can of roast beef and gravy to make manhattans if we don't like the stuffed cabbage. :biggrin:

Is it wrong to cut pictures up into little bitty pieces when they aren't yours? ???
"wrong" or "illegal"?
Which?
Like I just told someone else.....it's just a random comment....and fleeting thought.
Actually, today, I was setting up my desktop computer with a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate...and I keep the sidebar up, with a slideshow of all the pictures on my computer. I'm sitting there doing something else and out of the corner of my eye, one of the pics catches my attention. It's a pic of one of the older girls....meaning it's not 13 or itty bitty.....but I can't tell which one...I open it up...and it's 18....she's taken a picture of herself in her underwear......not just one...but several. Not inappropriate pictures...but the kind where you can see before of when you are losing weight. Regardless of the fact that they are not indecent....I don't care to have them flashing across my screen when I'm trying to do other things. I did tell her to get them all in one spot so I can take them off of my computer and she can have them on her own. I'm mom.....I don't need to be seeing her before and after pics, any more than she needs to see any that I might have....ya know? Cutting them up would be figurative, considering that they are digital. LOL
um...back to the stuffed cabbage ;D
How did it turn out? I have a really decent crockpot stuffed cabbage recipe, but I'd have to get it out 'cause I can't remember everything that goes in it. I refused to make it for years b/c it never turned out as good as mom's. I wanna try stuffed peppers next.

They turned out good but next time I'm gonna put a little more cabbage in the bottom of the crock pot and add just a tad more water if I use tomato sauce again instead of tomato juice. Hubby wants me to try it with Italian sausage next time too.

You might print them off and then delete them. That way she still has them but they're just not on the 'puter.
pffft..I'll not waste good ink and photo paper on that...I just need to get her a usb drive and have her get ALL her pictures off of my desktop. You have no idea how much space that will free up.
Finally made myself get my taxes finished up to take to the accountant. Damn I hate bookwork.... :gha:

Yup! People think its amusing to see a 70+ pound pit bull standing and waiting for us to wipe off his paws when he comes in too! :biggrin: (At least we did that right by doing it from the day we brough him home. He will not come into any home unless one of us first wipes off his paws. . . :biggrin:
Last time we went to the vet he couldn't believe it. There was snow on the ground and when we got to the door the dog stopped dead, and of course I took out the towel and wiped his paws for him. Vet said he wished everyone would do that because it really helps keep their paws healthy. He just laughed when I told him how he always does that no matter where we take him. Even if I forget, he reminds me. :biggrin:
Thankfully our refuse collectors have an automatic dump arm and they don't have to manually dump our trash. They'd be pissed this week. Snow's gone and left behind a TON of doggie doo, which I spent an hour cleaning up yesterday afternoon. :biggrin:

I drew the line after the Harley shirt and hat, which he will wear and knows are "his". If you pick them up you better be ready to dress the pit bull! :biggrin: :rolleyes:
I had a lab for a while that I trained to wait until I wiped her paws when she came in. If I forgot to get something to wipe her feet before I let her in she would sit and whine until I got back to her with the rag 'cause she wanted to go to her warm bed. When spring came she went outside permanently 'cause she was too big to have in the house, well I felt she was.

So, I was at happy hour last night and it happened to be at an Irish Pub and of course they're preparing for "the big day" coming up. I think somewhere in my lineage is a wee bit of Irish ancestory, but on Saint Patrick's day it really doesn't matter...we're all Irish.
Anyway, the pub wants to make Jamison the traditional St. Patrick's Day drink. I don't know why there has to be an official drink, but I suspect it's part of a promotion. At any rate, the bartender (a right fine lad) poured a small sample in a rocks glass. I'm not normally a wiskey fan, but wow! that was very tasty. I may have to have at least one shot of Jamison on St. Patty's day, but more than likely I'll stick mostly to Guinness and hold the food coloring!
Thirst is a shameless disease so here's to a shameful cure!
If you like bourbon, try a taste of Knob Creek or Maker's Mark.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Once I'm done running the tax gauntlet, I'll snap a few pictures of all the flowers we've got poking up through the ground in the various flower beds we created last year. Most of them are going to be a surprise since they were bulbs that we planted too late last year, or bulbs we couldn't identify with any level of certainty.
A friend gave us some "cannon" bulbs, and we hope they come up because they can get rather huge.
Stick with the Guinness lass, it'll not steer yah wrong! :food5: I picked up the habit from a true Irishman, although I confess to having liked it well before I ever met him; but blame the habit shamelessly upon him anyway. (He likes it) :biggrin:

May the blessing of the rain be on you—
the soft sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers may spring up,
and shed their sweetness on the air.
May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
may they beat upon your spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there many a shining pool
where the blue of heaven shines,
and sometimes a star.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world is bright and gay
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away.
But when Irish eyes are crying,
It turns your heart to blackest night.
You can hear the wenches wailing,
And spoling for the fight.
When Irish hearts are angry,
All the world should run away.
When Irish eyes are crying,
They'll kill via the IRA!
Oh no, you're turning into Dennis Day

I have. . . at least twice that I can recall. . .
Once as a kid, fresh out of the shower on a warm mid summer day, after spending the morning delivering papers back when you had to use your bicycle and it was still a kids job.
I hopped aboard my Schwinn Sting Ray and began making my way down the alley toward one of my buddy's house and "SPLAT", right on the leg of my nice and clean jeans. . . :rant: That bird must have been holding it for quite awhile too. That was the first shot fired in the great pigeon Holocaust of suburban Chicago. (I bought a nice BB rifle that afternoon). :icon_twisted:

That sounds so much like the late, great Jean Shepherd, I have to ask -- are you channeling?
He wrote "A Christmas Story" among other things, for those of you who don't know the work of this wonderfully eloquent native of "da Region."

"You represent millions of Americans who see media consolidation as a corrosive social force. It robs them of their voice in public affairs, pollutes the political culture and turns debate over profound issues into a shouting match of polarized views promulgated by partisan apologists who trivialize democracy while refusing to speak the truth about how our country is being plundered" Bill Moyers

Very nice! When I was there for my cousin's wedding, I saw a couple of countdown clocks that were counting down to St. Patrick's day. I understand that they have the third largest St. Patrick's day celebration in the United States. I'm not sure where numbers 1 and 2 are. ;D

If I lived closer, I'd be knocking on the door w/my bowl. LoL! I'd even bring lil' Mojo so you could take her for a ride on the hog. She'd love that.
We went for a car ride on Sunday and drove past one of the favorite watering holes for Harley enthusiasts. It's an awesome place. They boast to have the best mudslide recipe and they normally have a band out back. The "backyard" is really cool, because it's all sand. The best feature, in my daughter's (and probably your opinion ;D) is the enormous parking lot around the front and side. This weekend it was a sea of two wheeled chrome from end to end. We were going to stop so she could check out the bikes, but it was REALLY crowded and in all honesty I didn't see how a car could successfully drive through the lot. :biggrin:
Anyway...someday maybe :yes:
Got plenty to go around. I may have to freeze some of it. After tomorrow's dinner we'll be "done" with it for a while. :smile:
That place sounds like my kind of spot!
There's a place south of Indy, I believe it's called "The Pines" that sounds similar. Wall to wall bikes from open to close. 8)
We passed this sign over the weekend and it totally cracked me up. I don't think I've ever seen a speed limit sign w/fractions before. :biggrin:

TGIF!!!! And thank goodness for 'early dismissal' from work! :smitten: What's on the agenda for this weekend??
Not much here. Has spring sprung in parts north Sunny?
Partially, Loc. Last week we averaged in the mid-50's, but woke up to about an inch of the white stuff today...will be in the teens tonight.

Most of their products don't have it that I am aware of. You can print off coupons at the above link, as well as get info. . .
Personally, it doesn't work very well for me, but I know a lot of folks it does work well for. . .
Ya might want to supplement w/ potassium pills. I had an incident a couple of years ago and ended up in the emergency room and the ER doctor told me that the allergy meds like Clairiton, which I was taking, lowers your potassium levels. They gave me a couple of pills and turned me loose. I really thought I was having the big one for sure. I was only doing 4 or 5 a week at the time but I do have year round allergies. I just do Benadryl every once in a while now.
Thanks, PH & me. I need to suck it up & call my doctor on Monday. Everything pretty much says, "consult with physician before taking this medicine if you have..." (thyroid disease).

Have you tried a Nettie pot? That helps bunches and keeps it from turning into a sinus infection.
I've heard of it, but haven't tried one. Looks like it could take some gettin' used to?

It's well worth it though in the long run.
Sunny I tried one with this last sinus infection. For a while it really did work but this infection was really bad. If you do decide to try one, do it in the shower. :biggrin:
I will probably have to use mine again since the pollen started flying!

Since we have a "Good" Friday, why don't we have a "Bad" Friday???

walked a hard 6 miles yesterday-my poor high arches. if it wasn't threatening to rain i would be walking right now. mmm... glutton for punishment.
it never did get around to raining-so i dragged me wee lads for a 2 mile. then laid under the broken clouds to work on my sunburn.

It's telling you sinners, the 6,000 year old earth is coming to the end. And if you ain't one of the first 4,000 people to leave in Rapture. Your ass is grass.

Well I've been reading his numbers for quite some time now.....and I was beginning to doubt my own limited knowledge. I checked it a couple of weeks ago...and confirmed I knew more than I thought I did.

just can't figure out if the sink was the cause or a casualty.
:confused:
Don't you recognize a random comment? LOL
well, wolfie... i either: 1. hit my head off the sink on the way to the floor or 2. knocked myself out hitting my head on the sink and ended up on the floor. i'm thinking #1. can't really remember all the details.
Whatever you were ingesting, I'd suggest that you remain in a prone or seated position until the effect passes the next time you use it.

i'm pretty sure it was a lack of sugar/food. was running late and didn'have time to eat. then BAM! now you know why i eat candy for breakfast. lol any excuse to eat fruit roll ups.
Have you ever have had a blood glucose test for diabetes. It's been all over the news about the large number of young coming down with sugar diabetes.
I'm a borderline diabetic and I watch my sugar level very carefully. So if you don't want to go blind, lose your kidneys or lose your legs and your passing out. You better check yourself out.
Surly one of your friends has a blood glucose meter they can let you use. Get a little blood on your finger, put it in the meter, it's so easy. It should be under 120, 80 to 100 is just great.

I have a friend in her 40's who has heart problems, kidney problems, and eyesight problems because she was diabetic and put off going to the doctor so that is very good advise you just gave Troll. Low blood sugar can be just as dangerous too. That runs on mom's side of the family and the symptoms are about the same.

Excellent advice Troll! All of my siblings have diabetes as well as my mother; who has lost a leg and is blind from it, despite doing everything possible to prevent it her whole life.
Thus far I am lucky in that I do not have it, and I am tested for it annually.
I have a fire pit in my backyard and I finally got to christen it last night.
I had old friends, new friends and family all around. We cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire for the kids and babybacks on the grill washed down w/beer and wine.
What an awesome time!

I tried something last year that went over better than the traditional s'mores. I didn't have any graham crackers or chocolate bars but did have some of those huge chocolate chip cookies and so I used those and the kids loved them and now prefer them over the standard way. It does work better if the cookies are soft though. ;)
thanks for the advice, troll. i mentioned it to my doctor before-my kidneys have been steadily going to hell and i was gestationally diabetic (and family history of diabetes). 2 days without sugar and there were high keytones in my urine-i don't even know what that means. he didn't feel it necessary to check my sugar. and now i have no insurance.

Well, kid it doesn't sound good. Keytones are not a good thing to have in your blood. You have to find out now if you have low or high sugar. There are diets that can help keep under control. If your having kidney problems now, you had better find out as soon as you can. LIKE NOW!
My brother-in-law who die last week, was going though dialysis three times a week. Because he had lost both of his kidneys. If you should have seen him after he had one, you sure don't want to lose your kidney. Remember you have yourself and your child to worry about.
Good Luck, The Troll
Goggle in help for diabetics and read up on it. It is a killer. I do mean A KILLER!
sorry for your loss and thank you for your concern.

Just interested, why are you walking so much? Losing weight. Training for a marthon or something. Who am I to say, that I think 9 miles a day seems much. Unless you are trying to get into shape or losing weight. I don't think it is something a normal person would every day.
Find out anything about you sugar level. People are not to pass out. Healthy people just don't pass out.
I have seen many TV shows on young women who exercise to an excess, have some times, many other problems. Like Bulimia and Anorexia. Thinking that being thin is being beautiful. No so.
Not saying in any way that you would even think about this. I know of young woman here in my town who practiced the old finger down the throat after eating anything and working out 4 or 5 hours per day. She looked like a sack of bones with skin stretched over them. She was passing out and her body chemistry was was really fouled up. Diabetes was one of them. She was hospitalized. The family moved out of town, so I don't know what become of her.
So take care of youself.

Just a random comment...not been on here much because I've been working on someone's computer. Been on it two days already, and looks like I may have a third one coming. Nasty Nasty virus/malware. It's called XP Antimalware 2010, and the sonuvagun takes over the whole freaking registry. Can't use Folder options, system restore, regedit....it screws with exe files, deletes your antivirus executable files. It's just nasty!!
And for anyone that doesn't know...that's one of my self-employed jobs....computer repair. I LOVE it!! :biggrin:

Sounds similar to the one I got about a year ago. Had to remove it little by little from the registry keys before I could even do anything in safe mode or restore. I'm really glad I realized how I got it and wrote it down so I would know what to look for in the registry. I shut down what I had clicked on and shut off my modem to disconnect from the internet before it dumped the whole thing on me so I wasn't completely locked out fortunately.

Hon, I am alway of being accused of judging someone by their picture. Maybe it's your eyeliner.
But, I'm sorry you look a little to thin. There is nothing wrong with being skinny, but being bony is to much.
I still think you should cut down of you calorie burning, maybe some strength training. I'll bet you are really weak in some ways other than you legs. See how long you can stand with a can of soup of something and see how long you can hold them straight out from your body or how many pushups you can do. I'll bet, not many.
Just Goggle in "eating to be healthy" get a good diet and follow is as hard as your are working out. Cut out those high carbo's, sugar and anything white. Did you know that eating a good diet can give you some peace of mind. :hug:

i work out on the bowflex as well-lateral pull down of 100-120 lbs. the only weakness is bench pressing-left shoulder can't do more than a 30 lb since surgery (i think it equates to 15 per shoulder, poor lefty.) i do zero push ups (too much stress on shoulder). i leg press 200 when i'm in the mood.

Ya, mantises (or mantids, iffen ya wants ta refer to the larger group of them critters).
If you can rig a camera with zoom and the ability to capture multiple shots/second, you can get some outrageous photographs.
They are incredibly fast (front legs) when capturing prey.

I've watched SO many kids play various versions of ball, gymnastics, dance, cheer, etc and from time to time I see things that make my heart melt b/c I can tell that it's a defining moment or building block when a child feels pride and trust of themselves and feel valued as a team and respect from their coach.
Tonight watching my daughter's softball game, a field full of awkward tweens, I saw almost all of them throw back their shoulders and stand a little taller, smile a little wider or become more intent about the task at-hand...all because a coach or parent noticed their momentary contribution and loudly called out what a good call, eye, hit, run, catch, steal or even try it was. I looked at their faces and almost cried with the pride I saw there.
I've been "cursed" with perception and sensitivity. I get caught up and emotional because I just know that these are the good things that will help shape these young people.
Meanwhile, my kids are going to end up on Dr. Phill because their mom is always on the sideline all misty-eyed :biggrin:

Maybe this is a female attribute. Some years back I coached rec-league girls soccer. When the other team showed up a player or two short, I would pare my line-up down to match theirs. What's the fun of beating someone with a handicap? My kids were always supportive. In fact, once when the other team was real short and I had plenty, three of my kids put on different colored shirts and played for the opponents. They didn't really care about bragging rights -- they just wanted to play.
But the most rewarding moment of all came in my last year. The kids were sixteen thru eighteen, and this was the last year for most of them too. It was a play-off game and the score was real tight. One of the refs made a totally horrendous call, and awarded my team a penalty shot. None of the girls wanted to take it. When the ref got nasty, and threatened to forfeit us if we didn't kick the penalty, the best player on my team squared up to the ball, and kicked it gently into the opposing keeper's arms.
The kids wanted to win that one. But they wanted to win it fair. (They did, too.)
Those were wonderful days. Eight years after the last game I coached, I still see one of "my kids" on the street, and just glow when she hollers, "Hi, Coach!"
I don't know what is going on but now my 16 year old granddaughter lost a friend in a car crash a few days ago. His brother was driving and (thankfully) was not seriously injured. I don't know the details but it really upset my granddaughter. Brought back too many memories. Her mom said she was up all night shaking Tuesday night. The funeral was today and I hope she got through that ok. She talkes to her mom about things like this so I think she will work through it with her help.

Understand.
Coached junior high and high school football for 11 years.
Drove back to the area 2 weeks ago to check on some property I still own there, and stopped into a small corner restaurant for coffee.
The waitress and cook were former students, and the next guy that walked in looked at me and said "Hi, coach."
Dang hankies.

Still watching this program and it's causing me to want to do more research about my family.
My great great grandmother was Native American. I grew up with my great grandmother and she said that she couldn't tell me which tribe. I was always fascinated and curious. She had told me that it was a small tribe and not one of the larger tribes like the Cherokee. I didn't realize that the Cherokee were basically settled in the Appalacians in the 1700s. Supposedly, her mother married a Scotch Irishman and was shunned from the family as a result. At another point, my great grandmother said that her mom was tired of the hard life of living with the tribe and opted to move away with her husband.
Although, the timeline doesn't fit because my great grandmother was born in 1896 and guessing that perhaps her mother had been born 20 years or so prior, then that would still be the late 1800's and removal of the Cherokee had started long before that.
I just want it to be so because I just found out that the women of the tribe held the power (pre-European invasion) . That would explain why I was born roarin' ;D It's genetic ;D
A fond memory from my childhood - we used to play cowboys and indians and I was always the indian, but my male neighbors and cousins said that I couldn't be chief because women weren't chiefs. Mom (my greatgrandmother) gathered feathers from the different birds on the farm and made me a headdress so that I could be chief. :biggrin:
This is a good series on PBS if you are interested and ever want to watch it. Now I'm learning about the plight of the mine workers in WV and KY . My new hero Mother Jones:
QuoteThe elderly woman smoothed her black dress and touched the lace at her throat and wrists. Her snow-white hair was gathered into a knot at the nape of her neck, and a black hat, trimmed with lavender ribbons to lend a touch of color, shaded her finely wrinkled face. She was about five feet tall, but she exuded energy and enthusiasm. As she waited to speak, her bright blue eyes scanned the people grouped beyond the platform. Her kindly expression never altered as her voice broke over the audience: "I'm not a humanitarian," she exclaimed. "I'm a hell-raiser."

I just want it to be so because I just found out that the women of the tribe held the power (pre-European invasion) . That would explain why I was born roarin' ;D It's genetic ;D
A fond memory from my childhood - we used to play cowboys and indians and I was always the indian, but my male neighbors and cousins said that I couldn't be chief because women weren't chiefs. Mom (my greatgrandmother) gathered feathers from the different birds on the farm and made me a headdress so that I could be chief. :biggrin:
Dad and his mother were full blooded Cherokee, my mother was 1/8 Cherokee and Dutch Scot made up the rest. I've been told that I can obtain government endorsement of my heritage, but that's not what this is about anyway.
Dad had a life long Friend, Richard Perry, who was also half blooded Cherokee half Ojibwa. His great grandfather lived in Wisconsin and was full blooded Ojibwa. Dad and Perry took me with them anytime I was out of school, and so I got to meet the great grandfather many times.
After dad died (Perry had gone before him by several years) I came into possession of Perry's old Johnson outboard motor, which I took along on my next trip with some very close friends to fish walleye, perch, and musky up that way. The second morning there the wind was howling out of the north and the lakes were really white capping. We all agreed we should find something else to do, so since they all wanted to go back to bed, I decided to try to find old George. I'd been to his shack a dozen or more times as a lad, so I had a pretty good idea where he was.
An hour later I rolled up on his shack and since smoke was coming out of the stovepipe I knew someone was in there. I knocked on the door and in a few minutes he was standing before me, bright eyed and sharp as a tack. And he knew who I was right off. He served me a nice stew along with some fried bread, and we washed it all down with iced tea. (Unsweetened, just the way I like it). After we were through eating and catching up, he asked me why I was here. I told him that since the rest of our little crew had already crossed over, I thought it would be nice if he could join me in my boat the next morning; for a day of walleye, perch, and maybe musky fishing.
He was standing right outside my door at 0400 waiting on me. (He had to be in his 90's). I told him I was going to come pick him up, but he said he had a friend drop him off here, that way we could get onto the water before the sunrise, which we did.
I had the Johnson strapped onto the boat, and his eyes went right to it as he climbed aboard. He just nodded his head and said lets get going. The other guys were off to run our "milk run", but George and I had another plan in mind. George had been fishing these waters his whole life and so he knew a lot more about it than the rest of us combined.
This could go on for awhile so I'll try to shorten it up a bit. George and I caught our limit of perch and walleye by mid morning, and so we spent a large portion of our afternoon hunting muskies. George had one on that appeared to be in the 70 inch class, but he lost him when he wrapped around a sunken sump in the weeds. I also lost on that was just slightly smaller, when the drag burnt out on my reel and he just ran the spool dry on me and snapped that 40 pound test loud enough to sound like a rifle shot. We both laid down in the bottom of the boat laughing like little girls after that one.
We were both hungry, so we beached the boat under a stand of really tall pines, while George got the fire started, I began putting the fillet knife to work on a couple of the perch and walleye we had caught. George started piling the carcasses under a tree about 10 feet away fro our cook site. I told him it could draw bears, but he said, "No, those great birds over there want us to pay them tribute". As I was taking the last fillet out of the pan he said, "Here they come".
Two adult Bald Eagles coming straight for us. They lighted in the tree momentarily, then came to ground to feast on the remains George had placed there. So we pretty much ate with them. Once George was done he tossed a rather large side of walleye toward them, and it brought them to within 5 feet of us. It was amazing to see.
The birds were molting a bit too, and both had left some really nice specimens of Eagle feathers on the ground in front of us. George asked me to gather these up for him, which I did, and he placed them into his bag.
We arrived back at the cabin to discover the rest of my party had experienced a rather disappointing day, barely catching enough for a meal. George tossed our stringers over the side of the boat and told them thatif they could clean them they could eat them. They did just that as I loaded George and his equipment into the truck to take him home. As I was taking the engine off the boat he asked me why I was doing that. I told him it rightfully belonged to him since it was his great grandson's. No. . . it is yours. I am too old to fool with such things.
I dropped him off and he made me promise to stop back by on my way back home. That he would have something for me to take home with me.Saturday came and the guys bitched about having to swing up toward Hayward, but I told them I had promised him and that was that.
As we pulled up front he waved us all into his shack. He'd had some of the younger women come in and fix us this massive breakfast. As we were eating George began educating us on the meaning of the indian head-dress, and how each feather within it signifies an action undertaken by the wearer that served the tribe ahead of himself. How it was a great honor to receive one from your people, and told us how his grandfather's grandfather had received his. He said most started as a young man, when he made his first significant kill that served to feed several families. Some of the feathers came from wars as well, but that the most valued ones had nothing but eagle feathers in them, black with white tips. For these were worn by those who had achieved greatness, not in war, but in protecting the people, the land, the crops, and most importantly the elders. These men were greatly admired because everything they did was for the good of the tribe.
Then he went into the back room and brought out his own, resplendent in eagle feathers, it fell halfway down his back. Then he came out with another one, that contained only black feathers with white tips. While not quite as long as his, it was a sight to behold. Then he walked around in back of me and placed it upon my head.
I told him I was not fit to wear such a sacred head dress, but he refused to listen. He said that my trips up here with his Grandson and my own Father had brought him many years of great joy. That my obvious willingness to learn and be taught were of great comfort to him. And when I showed up at his door and asked him to go fishing with me, he knew right then that I should be honored by his people for my actions. . .
I told him that since I am not a card carrying member of any tribe I could not be in possession of such an honorable piece of work, since it was made of eagle feathers. He said he understood, but that it was mine and it would be left to me in his will.
A year later a member of the Ojibwa tribe called me and said that they were in town to deliver a message to me from George. The man came to my door with a box in his had, and said that there was paperwork inside that I needed to keep safe. That head dress was in the box, along with a notarized statement from the Chiefs of the Ojibwa nation that stated this head dress was presented to me with the hope I would accept their invitation to join the tribe. George had crossed over and in any case the head dress was mine to keep; legally.
It now sits inside a glass case on the mantle of the fireplace in my late grandfather's home. I spent some time with it last week, and even put it on for a few minutes. If everything goes right it will be coming home with me sometime this year.
If so, I'll snap a picture of me in it for your amusement. But every time I have had it on I can tell you amusement is the furthest thing from my mind. It's the symbology and history, and traditions it represents that hit me like a Mack Truck. And the feeling I am not worthy. . .
Dad and his mother were full blooded Cherokee, my mother was 1/8 Cherokee and Dutch Scot made up the rest. I've been told that I can obtain government endorsement of my heritage, but that's not what this is about anyway.
Only if u can provide original birth certs of all decendants of those on the Dawes roles
PH - I love your story and I can't wait to see the pic.
Mine was made out of chicken, duck, geese and phesant feathers lol so based on what you just said lol I'm laughing thing of what the headdress would have said about the wearer. Still, I wish I had been smart enough to know how much I'd love to have it now.
Mom made that so that I'd be chief despite the fact that I was a girl. I didn't realize it then but she was molding me. lol...right back to my previous discussion in this thread...think you can share the hankies FTW? ;D
I never met any of her ancestors. That could be because she was elderly herself when I was born. Her parents had passed and by her account her mother had left the life behind in one way ot the other.
You're very lucky to have had that experience, PH, but I know you know that.

What does Charles Gates Dawes have to do with anything? :rolleyes:
As for the rest of your remark; I have everything required including birth/death certificates, certified records, and the original deed from the 1800's from the US Government containing the phrase that "in order to own this property the individual or family must prove they are of Cherokee decent. This property may not be transferred except to direct descendants, or to those of Cherokee descent."
It was due to this phrase that my great grandmother provided certified records to each one of her grandchildren, which have been passed along via deaths since.
For me, it represents the empirical proof of this country's oppression of this nations indigent peoples and racist roots.
I live next to the Cherokee nation in Ok. My grandmother was Cherokee from Senca, Mizzouri. She would never talk to me about the rolls or why we were not on them, like my cousins that are of the Delaware tribe.
When I researched the website for the Cherokee tribe it instructed me that to be added onto the rolls, I would have to produce the birth certs back to the Dawes roles that had the names of the original natives that were recorded with the treaty.
Index to the Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory (Dawes). So I have to research all the way back.

Most of this today is tribal driven, since the tribes must register you with the BIA. The Dawes recordings were the government's effort to provide a genetic set of records for the NA's to utilize. The tribes today set up their own procedures and each one is different; some use the Dawes roles, some don't. Those living near to, or maintaining a close relationship with the present day tribes usually find no problem in being recognized.

I'm happy to report that I've changed my opinion. :biggrin: All of the animals have been rescued and donated. The artic foxes were rescued from a fur farm. Someone had attempted to make pets out of the Siberian Tiger, Wolves, Bear and Python. The python was shedding it's skin btw and there was enough skin there for a snakeskin blanket! :spooked:
The tiger was rescued during a drug bust. :no:
Being somewhat domesticated, but not quite wild, these animals can't make it on their own. The "pack" animals no longer belong to a pack.
I'm happy this place exists to save these animals from idiots who think they deserve to own one.
Kudo's to the small zoo. :)

Yup, quick reply box. Each time I open up a thread, I have a box at the bottom to type and post in without hitting additional buttons. The only draw back is that one would need to memorize the smiley codes to remit them.
If you can afford 19 pieces of paper, just make a copy of them. Keep them handy and the ones you really like make a large check mark next to them. It's easy.

I watched it tonight. :(
She can't tell the truth. Not because she shouldn't for the truth's sake, but because the person who set this up, did it to burn Gibbs.
I think it was the cartel lady. She set it up w/the Mexican guy. Wait! Who was showing him around NCIS and introduced him to Abbey to begin with? I can't remember, but I bet she's on the inside pulling the strings to get paid by the cartel. They don't want to end his career, they want to end his life.
They want us to think it was Leon, but I think he's one of the good guys.

It's just all the irony in the whole situation, and the conflicts with the job. its policies, the law, and the obvious mutual love for each other between Abbey and Gibbs. The series keeps bringing up this incident, and I have to believe that perhaps this time some finality will be brought to the whole messy situation.
Yeah, thankfully my tissue box didn't hang up. I was a mess at the end.

The attorney, with dark hair, I can't remember her name, but she was in an episode quite a while ago, reappeared in an episode the week before last (Obsession). Vance gave her temporary employee status so that she could represent the Mexican guy as his attorney. She was showing him around and took him down to the lab and tried to coerce Abbey into giving him a tour. Abbey nicely, but firmly told them to go away (a couple times). In that episode, when they were in Vance's office and Gibbs walked in and they were explaining to Gibbs what was going on and Vance seemed to be having fun w/the fact that Gibbs doesn't care much for the lady lawyer, she mentioned that she knows the Mexican guy from Mexico City. They're trying to make it look like Vance is out to get Gibbs, but I think it's the drug cartel and this woman/lawyer is coordinating everything.

Things have heated up twixt Gibbs and that lawyer, and by that I mean in the flirty - teasing way from time to time. . .

I run hot and cold on NCIS-LA, but as of late it has been hot. The death of Dom was a bit unexpected, and for awhile I was getting frustrated that they had forgotten him or something.

Tonight we find out if Abbey drops a dime on Gibbs, and if Hetty puts in her papers! :spooked:
Cliffhangers! :rant:
So Gibbs tels Abbey to do her job, Mike and company are missing in Mexico, and Gibbs is captured by the employee of Bell, who is apparently deceased. . . :spooked: :spooked: :spooked:
Leaves the dope dealer as the puppet-master, and Leon to clean up the mess if Gibbs is to continue on should he escape his predicament. . .
Well, I didn't see the Bell thing coming, but I should have. Then again, I think Bell may have used and manipulated based on his hatred for Gibbs.
His response to Abbey wasn't a surprise. I knew that he'd want her to be honest :smitten:
As for Leon, I believe you're right about his role.
Although, I was surprised about his reaction to Lacey. When they had the episode from LA I thought that he didn't care for her.

"The definition of religion is: the shelter from fear. It is a shelter built upon a foundation of wards and text against the fears of the unknown, of death or ceasing to exist, and of perceived hopelessness. Its roof is the very antitheses of the acquisition of knowledge or the limited scientific truths that would rain in. Its walls have been, and remain, a prison of cruelty, injustice, death and suffering to the entire human race." -Mitch Snider

Three fairly sunny days of temperatures reaching into the 80s have combined with the local smog to bring an air-pollution alert for Wednesday.
Sun and smog are turning into ground-level ozone, and the predicted levels mean breathing could become difficult for people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children. They should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion when outdoors, according to an alert from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter.

I think it is very cool, that one year ago there was a 23 year old Chicago kid, mixing paint for a living, is NOW the American Idol and is about to sign a cool, $1 million contract....his life has changed for ever...and he really seems like a good kid.....
And he'll be swindled out of every penny of it in short order. . . watch. . .

why is it you don't trust anyone or anything?
the past winners are doing very well for themselves....even those who finished tenth place are making a very nice and comfortable living......
Look at Chris Daughtry, he finished fourth and NOW he is traveling the globe, having the time of his life, playing music....he was won several awards and HE was just a service manager for a car lot four years ago....
Never underestimate the ability of life to pimp slap you right back into reality.
and why do you think this is going to happen to this kid?
That is really cool, Henry. He is a nice kid and a Democrat. ;D

There's pigeons down on Market Square,
She's standing in her underwear.
Lookin' down from a hotel room,
And nightfall will be coming soon.
Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress.

One thing about it. If they keep the same people in charge they aren't going to do any better anywhere else than they are doing here lately. Larry Bird might have been a good player but he sucks as a manager and sucked as a coach.

Please support your local farmer's markets. Not only will you be getting fresher, unenhanced, in some cases cheaper, quality food, but you'll be helping your neighbors.
Only the free range meats are a little more expensive than in the stores, but I save so much on the fruit and veggies that it probably off-sets the difference that I spend on the meats.

Sandy, I just don't like free range, grass fed beef. I like corn feed American beef. Angus being my favorite. I don't care for Buffalo or beefalo or elk, I can taste the grass. I can remember when I was a kid and in the spring you could taste the grass in the milk and if the cows got in the wild onions. Blah.
There is absolutely nothing better that a Indiana grown tomato, Beefsteak, Big Boy and Early Girl tomatoes. Those ones grown for canning by Red Gold have skins of leather and there's just something missing. You are right about Farmer's markets, a good thing.
Thats true about the taste difference, but that's why we created marinades and spices too. . . :smile:
I know I used to hate taking a deer from a pine forest for the very same reason. And while I'll take a deer living on the cornfields first, I won't pass up a good one in the pines either. . . :biggrin:
I have a farm near me that has free range cattle. They grain feed them the last month or so. I haven't found them to be too "grassy" in taste.
I'm making zucchini bread. I was given so many. I need to freeze some of this zucchini!

Talking about the taste of deer and the saying you are what you eat. I worked with a guy who would go up to Canada a then take a sea plane and fly back into the interior and fish. The told me that the fishing was great, but the camp was full of great big black squirrels.
He ask about eating them, everybody said why eat squirrel when we have all of the walleyes we can eat. Well, one year he took his fold-up survival .22 rifle with him and when everybody was out fishing he shot a couple squirrels and fries them up. He said they looked beautiful until he took one bit. They tasted just like turpentine. I guess all the squirrel's had to eat was pine cones.
One more thing, I guess up in Alaska there is a lot of waste to a King Crab. Well, they wanted to feed them to hogs. The hog just loved them and really grew of them.
They wondered how much crab a hog could before they got to tasting like crab. They found that hogs could eat about 68% of their diet before they started tasting like King Crab. Can you imagine, fishy pork. Blah :puke:

We try to take a couple of zucchini and squash along on camping trips to grill on the campfire as a side. Its great! :yes:
You obviously know you can shred up all that zucchini and then freeze it right? Get a "foodsaver" sealer and you can keep it frozen for a couple of years, and it will still taste as fresh as the day you shredded it! :yes:
Shredded zucchini is good in spaghetti/lasagne sauce too. :yes:

Those vacuum food saver are great, we have had one for years. I finally got around cleaning the deep freeze and I found a chicken that had been frozen for almost two years. We thawed it, it looked good and damn, it tasted good. Two years, I could hardly believe it.
I really need to get one of those. I'm a kitchen gadget junkie so I try to hold off as much as possible. ;D

I like to take them and cut them like french fries. Dip them in a egg wash and coat them with cracker crumbs, fry golden brown and a pinch of sea or Kosher salt. For me a plate full and a cold drink and you don't need anything else. Same thing with egg plant, peel, cut in slices 1/2 in. thick, salt the slices and let them sweat 20 min., it takes the bitterness out, rinse, dry, egg wash, cracker crumbs and fry golden brown. I like this better than the Zucchini.
Everybody I have cooked them for, just loves them.
Yum - I've used zucchini and egg plant both as pizza (oh! another way to use shredded zuchinni, PH, check the recipe thread - it's delicious)
But your description is making me want fried green tomatoes. I haven't had those for years.

Talking about zucchini's, some years back there was a morining talk show on the Fort Wayne radio station. The one guy on it said that during Zucchini season you had to keep the door of your car lock when you went uptown, where he lived. Or you would find a couple large sack of Zuccihini in it. He kept the car locked in his driveway because the same thing would happen there.
It's amazing how many Zucchinis you can get off two or three plants.

Palehorse,
when you do the estate thing, take my word for it, get at least 20 certified copies of the death certificate. It is now 14 years after my father's death and 11 years after my mother's death, and just this week I had to produce certified copies of their death certificates for the state government.

He's right and if your the Exector of the estate, keep all of your and your mothers records.
I had given my brother in law my dad's car and two years later to get it up back into my name, I had to show his death certificate. I hope everything is over, but I got the papers close.

R. Lee Ermey
IS a retired Marine Corp DI!
Ronald Lee Ermey (born March 24, 1944) is a retired U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor and later a Golden Globe Award-nominated actor.
Ermey had often played the roles of authority figures, such as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, Mayor Tilman in the Alan Parker film Mississippi Burning, Bill Bowerman in Prefontaine and Sheriff Hoyt in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
He has hosted two militainment programs on the History Channel: Mail Call, in which he answered viewers' questions about various militaria both modern and historic; and Lock N' Load with R. Lee Ermey, which focuses specifically on the development of different types of weapons.
Ermey was a drill instructor at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California, and Parris Island, South Carolina from 1965 to 1967. In 1968, Ermey arrived in Vietnam where he served for 14 months with the Marine Wing Support Group 17. He then served two tours of duty in Okinawa, Japan, during which he rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) and was medically retired in 1972 for several injuries incurred during his tours. . .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Lee_Ermey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Lee_Ermey)
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:
"Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few Marines! God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand? "
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that? "
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you, private?
Private Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Were you born a fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o' shit, Private Pyle, or did you have to work on it?

Very few of the "super stars" have figured out it took the team to make them what they are, along with a little "help" from the ref's.

All corporations are greedy. Let me repeat ALL CORPORATIONS ARE GREEDY. That what they do. The only job is, is to be greedy. Make the most money at the least amount of money spent out.
Do the the least amount of actual work, labor cost, safety cost, pollution cost and material at the cheapest cost for the most profit.
LOOK AT BP, the finest example of corporate greed and the foreign car makers working here, I sure would like to have their book audited and take a look at their phony parts cost alone.
And for you people who love to buy cheap foreign products, have at it. Even animals don't shit in their own nest and when you buy this crap, brag about it and tell how cheap you got it for. You just shit in you own nest. It's coming home and coming fast. You can see everyday. And the Republicans are going to get what they want a Herbert Hoover Depression. Then we will all be happy. The End.
Exactly what's wrong with the foreign car makers here Troll? my step daughter worked at one of those plants and they were treated well, made a decent wage, had good benefits, were paid overtime, had clean safe working conditions, got breaks every two hours, and didn't have to give any of their money to a union. To build those factories they employed Americans, to supply them employed Americans, their car lots employ Americans. So whats yer bitch with that? Appears to me that those foreign cars are just as, or more, American than a lot of other things purchased by us.
Indeed, of the automakers assembling vehicles in the US, the top two are Toyota and Honda. (Utilizing the most American made sub assemblies and components to assemble the final vehicle).

It so wonderful to live in America the land of the free and the brave and have a damn Jap car as the #1 selling car in America. And Toyota was building Nakajima fighter planes in World War II. Mitsubishi was building the Zero fighter plane at that time too.
We may have beat their ass in World War II, which cost one hell of a lot of our money. We built them up with one hell of a lot of our money. But they sure kicking our ass now and the damn people of America is letting them do it to us.
As far a creative book keeping, one of the Japanese auto companies, I think it was Honda. Was telling the government they were paying a certain price for their engines. But you could go to Japan and buy the engine on the open market for half the price Honda was declaring they paid for the same engine. Don't know what happened, it just vanished from the news
Keep buying those damn Jap and Koran cars they are good for our economy.

You miss the point entirely. It isn't that the "jap cars" are the best selling cars, it is that the "jap cars" are comprised of the most AMERICAN manufactured parts and sub assemblies, and assembled in the United States! All of which equates to motor vehicles that are comprised of the most US labor and parts!

I didn't miss the point. It's Japanese owned. It's Japanese designed. It's Japanese engineered, most of the top bosses are Japanese and all of it's profits go to Japan.
And an American company can not own 100% of a company in Japan. More free trade, all of the money going out and everything coming in. It's already started, we're going to be out of money. A third world status.
Have you ever seen one of the automated assembly lines. The cars bodies are not touched by human hands from start to end of the construction of the bodies. Where all of the Jape robots build the cars. A handful of employees and thousands of cars and all of the profit goes overseas. Toyota is planning to go to Mexico right now. Maybe they don't like our law standards. Hummmmmm?

PPDC alert! The UFO that appeared over the airport in Hangzhou has been identified!
Here's the problem: nobody is talking.
A source "with knowledge of the matter" reportedly told China Daily that the source of the UFO had been determined, but that the information could not yet be released.

Why didn't our government ever think of this. Noooo, we get "weather balloons" and "swamp gas" and "Venus seen through the mist." C'mon, you idiots. Just say "We know but we won't tell you." That's what we assume you are really saying anyhow.
On a side note, there is no branch of the PPDC currently active in China. So it's up to y'all to spread this alert.

WOW! and these commercials, have you ever seen such good looking women in such good shape and to think these women were over weight and fat and look what the machines turned them into. WOW!
I want to buy one for my wife and she told me, that if I did, she would turn it into a clothes hanger. :smile: :yes:
This is the "Shake Weight" and I'm sorry, I know my mind is in the gutter, but this commercial seems so vulgar to me (in a grade-schooler-looking-up-dirty-words kinda way). :biggrin:
Should this be in the unmoderated section? :biggrin:
Loser porn! :biggrin:
LMAO! Yup! :biggrin: Seriously, I think that's hilarious. I don't know how they can look so serious using that product. ;D
WOW! That turns me on again. I'm going to have to watch it, I might have a big one. Heart attack, that is. :wink: :smile: :biggrin:

I'm sure glad you knew what it meant. I sure didn't :doh:
"me's" words inspired the thought, but I misspelled it and FTW corrected me.
Kimmi and FTW would know the word because they're both educators. I didn't know the word until about 5 years ago when it showed up on my daughter's vocabulary sheet. It's not a word that you get to use very often so I tried to jump on the opportunity. ;D

Hennnnry Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwk, did you get a chance to try beer batter french fried cauilflower or the cracker crumb coated fried eggplant.
My wife said, why didn't you tell ;him about putting the cauilflower in a egg wash and breading them in cracker crumbs. Well, since she brought it up, they are better than the beer batter. But both are good and I eat both and all of it. :yes: :smile:

I have some question about the home page. At the bottom of it, it shows the people who has visited the Zone. The questions are:
What is a (spider) Who are the guest, who are the "hidden". Also I see "goggle" "icognito" are these names members who don't have anything to say or overseers.
Spider - a search engine or program
Guest - non member
Hidden - Administration
Google - THE "Google" search engine
Incognito - is a member here
GUEST COME ON IN. GUEST COME ON IN. GUEST COME ON IN. GUEST COME ON IN.
Every day I see we have guests. Watching what is going on. Why don't you come on into the deep dark depth of the Unknown Zone.
You can sign up for nothing, it won't cost you a dime. Nobody will know who are, what you are, you can say about anything you want to say in the unmoderated part of the zone.
If you a genius, bright, half bright, theist, atheist, religious zealot, we don't care. Republican, Democrat or a Teabagger. Come in and say what you got to say and have a interesting time.
And you incognito, I have been here for some time and haven't hear a word out of you. Come in a say something. Or are you like Teller of the Pen and Teller comedy team. We are ready, are you?

You sound interesting. An younger old codger, than this old codger. I would like foy you to give me some ideas of what you think about a few things. But it has to be on the unmoderated section. This is the "NICE" area, we can't say bad, bad words here.
So here the questions and you can answer them in the unmoderated area.
What do you think of the Tea Party? Sara Palin?
What do you think about free trade and our trade policies?
What do you think about the way the politicians are running Washington?
The oil spill out in the Gulf?
Or you can be an old codger "asshole" and not answer at all. :biggrin:

Well I could not find it, but that doesn't mean anything either. . .
"Back in the day" some buddies and I had been talking about taking a fishing trip up north to hunt the mighty walleye. We kept talking about it and doing nothing surrounding planning, then one day one of them stops by my quarters and tells me he has just bought a cabin up in northern Wisconsin. To make a longer story short, the day finally came for us to go up and check it out. We had taken time off (10 days) and were driving up in an old Grand Prix.
The thing was running hot and we had left right after our shift, so we had the heat blasting and were sweating like hogs when we began to get closer to our final destination around 1:00 in the morning.
It was dark as hell and we kept seeing flashes in the sky. I was in the shotgun spot and the driver, (the Weasel), kept saying oh man its going to rain. I asked him why he thought that, and he said look at the sky its glowing! The guy in the back seat sandwiched in with a ton of gear, said, "Man Weasel, that don't look like any lightening I've ever seen. Maybe it's a fire! Or maybe its a space ship!"
That initiated a conversation on abductions and assorted other alien statements. (I knew what it was but was keeping it to myself). As we got just outside of Woodruff the woods were thick and it was even darker, and the glow had turned brighter. As we rounded a corner in the road, I heard the Weasel say, "WTF is that?!", as he braked hard. I looked up to see hundreds of glowing red eyes across the road. Backseater screamed, "It's aliens! I told you that was a space ship causing that glow!"
You friggin idiots!, I said. First of all, those are deer, (there was a huge herd standing in and alongside the road), and all that crap about lightening and space ships is BS! Those are the northern lights you morons!" After which I began laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks! :biggrin:

The only entity making anything off the Colts being in Anderson, is AU and probably the Colts themselves.
Some folks may be driving up/down here to watch, but they aren't spending any money in town; instead they're spending it on campus and with the vendors. There might be a few that buy gas here, but I doubt even that. Gasoline is higher in Anderson than it is in Indpls!
I don't think very many, if ANY of the players are frequenting the local businesses either. They'd probably rather drive back to Carmel to do their shopping, or have their errand person do it for them, rather than risk running the gauntlet of north side hoodlums. . .

Right now visible sat pics show cloud cover south of us. As long as it doesn't move north we may have a window of a few hours to possibly see them tonight, if T storms don't start popping in the next 3 hours.

Saw a number of them this tonight, and while they were not as prolific and I would have liked, they went rather well with a bottle of merlot! :biggrin:
These events just amaze me!
Stay up awhile and it gets even better. Building to peak around 4-5 AM. More and more each hour.
The kids and I stayed up until around 1:30 this morning and saw several....it was nice laying out on the patio with the kids, talking and watching the show...

A statement by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) concerning America's Social Safety Net. The original passage, from a letter Eisenhower wrote to his brother Edgar on November 8, 1954, went as follows :
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things.
Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

A statement by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) concerning America's Social Safety Net. The original passage, from a letter Eisenhower wrote to his brother Edgar on November 8, 1954, went as follows :
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things.
Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
What guys like Newt fail to comprehend is that this country is in a depression, not a recession! There are NO jobs out there!
And if they keep printing money willy nilly we will end up with hyper inflation.
Do you think that inserting a tap between my eyes, similar to what they use to drain sap from Maple trees, would hurt less that the throbbing pain from all this crud in my sinuses? It might bring relief.

It'd be less painful and more profitable to just tap the trees and get one of them pots for your sinuses! (They work)

My algery doctor has me on Astelin and Nasonex When it's really bad I use 2 shots of each 2 times a day.
When it not to bad I use 2 shots twice a day of just Astelin.
So far so good, but in the early spring when all of the damn trees are flowering it's hell. This stuff really helps.

We you would be glad to know that there is a man who want to tear you women down. It was reported to night on TV, the head of the Chamber Commerce, says the women who want equal pay for equal pay, just have money envy. That these women should just pick their life partners better. In other words, it you want more money, just marry a man who makes more money.

Oh sure, watch the history channel.....Never mind that Beck had historians and the
original history books. Sorry but you're going to have to do better than that. Just an example of how history gets distorted, and this has been a bone of contention with me since I learned different, the Indians did not scalp the white man first. I don't know about you but that is what I was taught in history class when I was in school and it just wasn't true. That was not something I learned from Glen Beck that was something I learned when I happened to pick up an older original history book at the library when I used to read a lot. Why did they change it? Because they could. Face it Sandy everyday you are bombarded with things that are not necessarily fact but have been tweaked just a little to make things fit a certain event or time period that needs a cover up or glorified.
When you read a book that say's *revised* that means something in it has been changed by the author. You are such a stickler for "facts" go find an older or original book that hasn't been revised and look for the differences.
You have to be open to more than one source. I've never liked being spoon-fed one person's view of anything. I may have to watch again, I only caught the tail of the program and I didn't see anything that he used to support his "facts". He used cherry-picked quotes, but I didn't see him cite a source. When I can catch it, I will give it another try and verify his sources.
I enjoy researching so I can't relate to what you're saying about history changing b/c I haven't seen it. I've seen varied accounts and varied interpretations, but the meat is the same. Those who want to know the facts do. I wouldn't count on Beck to give them to me.
"History" is written by the victors, or those in control. Certainly all history should be researched if one desires to know the truth of the matter(s). Given the examples we encounter on the internet every day, it is rather obvious that many just want to read it once and move on. . . So consider the sources. . .
If you desire unconditional love, get a dog; the only mammal capable of it, and the only living thing that will give it every single day despite your challenges.
I didn't see much of last nights show because I was busy but usually he shows his verification of facts at the first of the show if he is only talking about one thing and those were probably quotes from a book that he had already shown and talked about earlier in the show. I know he was talking about indentured slavery and how that came about.

Really? Did you even bother to fact check it?
Here's one reference:
The legend has been repeated endlessly that the first blacks in Virginia were "indentured servants," but there is no hint of this in the records. The legend grew up because the word slave did not appear in Virginia records until 1656, and statutes defining the status of blacks began to appear casually in the 1660s. The inference was then made that blacks called servants must have had approximately the same status as white indentured servants. Such reasoning failed to notice that Englishmen, in the early seventeenth century, used the work servant when they meant slave in our sense, and, indeed, white Southerners invariably used servant until 1865 and beyond. Slave entered the Southern vocabulary as a technical word in trade, law and politics. (Robert McColley in Dictionary of Afro-American Slavery, Edited by Randall M. Miller and John David Smith, Greenwood Press, 1988 pp 281)
http://innercity.org/holt/slavechron.html
Here's another:
In the North, farming was not as important to the economy as it was in the South. Black slaves therefore worked in a wider variety of jobs. They provided skilled and unskilled labor in homes, ships, factories and shipyards.http://library.thinkquest.org/2667/Tour.htm

Well since I don't and won't watch :bs: Glenn Beck, I wouldn't know what he was talking about. But about indentured servants I know it happened to a large, large number of white children here in American and all that can be said about it, IT WAS SLAVERY.
Ding Dong, there was factory in the 1700s. Textile industry (factories) who use child labor, there was coal mining, child labor, steel forging (factories) and many more industries. What a dummie.
There has always been slavery in America, from the Mayflower to today. I not for sure, but I think there were indentured servants on the Mayflower. Slavery for white and black for all races since the begining of time and if the Republican get in power forever.

"In a sense?" You said,
Has nothing to do with anyone being brought to America and is entirely different than slavery and has nothing to do with factory owners because there were no "factories". Both your source and mine state indentured servitude for "non-Christians" was identical to slavery, except that
in some cases, the bondage had an expiration date ... at least for the first fifty or so years of its existence -- and then that difference also disappeared. Far from having nothing to do "with anyone being brought to America," those immigrants are the only people relevant to the discussion, and there were, in fact, factories. In what sense did you
not misspeak?

What planet are you from?
"
Indentures were mortgages on the future, a promise made to work for the person who paid one's freight and guaranteed passage to the New World. The written contract, if it existed, was a legally enforceable agreement. Its terms usually meant a period of service—typically four to seven years—i
n exchange for the cost of transportation, sustenance, and shelter. By one estimate, three-fourths of the white population were
dependent laborers when they arrived in the New World. But for a variety of reasons, many sailed without a contract in hand and took their chances on working out an agreement once they arrived in Virginia or Maryland. If they found no suitable employer, the ship's captain could sell them to anyone he pleased. "

Q: How did Europeans handle the question of labor in the New World?
A: Finding labor someplace. And where's labor to be found? Well, labor is to be found among the unemployed of English cities and other places. Those persons become indentured servants, working for two to seven years on average. Native Americans are enslaved. That is they're captured and forced to work for indefinite periods. And then, of course Africans are imported to work for indefinite periods.

You are wrong. From your own source:
Well, labor is to be found among the unemployed of English cities and other places.There were NO English cities in North America in the seventeenth century. The English cities were in England. And there were no unemployed among the colonists in North America. Geez,
me, use your head.
Or just re-read Olias's kindly supplied definition of indenture:
Indentures were mortgages on the future, a promise made to work for the person who paid one's freight and guaranteed passage to the New World. Does Santa need to bring you a dictionary?

Q: How did Europeans handle the question of labor in the New World?
Thomas Davis
A: Finding labor someplace. And where's labor to be found? Well, labor is to be found among the unemployed of *English cities and other places. Those persons become indentured servants, working for two to seven years on average. Native Americans are enslaved. That is they're captured and forced to work for indefinite periods. **[And then, of course Africans are imported to work for indefinite periods.] The colonial period is a period where labor is scarce...in the context of opportunities that are available. People see vast lands to be cultivated, they see vast lands to be developed, natural resources, huge timber stands, teeming rivers. Who is going to pull in that wealth? And labor is the absolute key to that.

Thomas Davis on the fears about the Spanish and Native Americans Resource Bank Contents
Q: There's a real fear that external forces could take advantage of that population, Spanish as well as Native Americans. Talk a bit about the fears that are part of that economy.
Thomas Davis
A: The Americas of the late sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth century are a place that's hotly contested. The Europeans are vying among themselves for hegemony over particular areas. That struggle and strife is going to go on, really until the time of the American Revolution. One of the things that it does is to make life in the colonies for the various populations very unsettled, very insecure. The English colonists who are living in South Carolina are fearful of the Spanish in Florida. They think that the Spanish are going to encroach upon them and take them over. And after all, the English have come and encroached on the Spanish to begin with. So there is this continual ebb and flow. People in the colonies are very watchful of what's going on in Europe, because what's going on in Europe very directly affects them

What fact? And when do you consider to be "after"? The first slaves were brought to America in 1526.
Slaves entered the American continent in 1526 for the first time when first effort to establish a colony was carried out. However the colony was disappeared soon but slaves remained there and had taken roots in American soil. Then in 1619, a formal process for the trade of slavery was initiated when a Dutch Vessel sold twenty one Negro slaves to the colony of James Town, Virginia. In 1649 there were 200 slaves and later their number was increased up to 2000 only in Virginia.http://www.dirbull.com/articles/advent-of-slavery-in-unites-states-48.htm
By the way, your highlighted line says English "colonists," not English cities. Nobody disputes there were colonists who were English. A colony is not a city. London, Manchester, Birmingham, and so forth, are cities, where one might have found unemployed people. All the colonists had jobs.

See what? If you're meaning the racist thing no I don't. Does that mean I have to agree with those of a different race now all the time or I'm a racist? Does that mean if a someone of a different nationality has a different opinion than you you are a racist for disagreeing with him? What is this madness all of a sudden? I refuse to fall into that trap.

Okay, PH, I'm done with her. If she can't see that implying there is something wrong with the domain because it is owned by a guy with a name of Middle Eastern origin is a racist comment -- especially when she didn't bother to find out who the guy actually is -- then she must wear slip-on shoes. Tying laces is clearly beyond her.
The only trap she is liable to fall into is learning to reason with available facts, instead of hammering every phrase until it fits into one of her knee-jerk acceptable responses. But I'm not wasting any more time trying to set that trap. She's too wily for me.
I should have listened to you from the beginning, Palehorse.
It has nothing to do with his nationality. Want some misstatements in his "history" proved to you?

The Topic:
Revolutionary War
Easier - The Revolutionary War also called the American Revolution began in 1775. British soldiers and American patriots fought at Lexington, Massachusetts and nearby Concord. In 1783 the Treaty of Paris ended the war. Great Britain was forced to recognize the independence of the 13 colonies of the United States.
Harder - The Revolutionary War in America (1775-1783) led to the birth of a new nation. The war began on April 19, 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
For about a decade, tension had been mounting between Great Britain and the American Colonies. The British government had passed a series of laws in an attempt to increase control over the colonies. But Americans had become used to having control over their local government. They objected to the new laws and protested being taxed without their consent. In 1775, Britain's Parliament declared Massachusetts, the center of most of the protests, to be in rebellion. British troops were placed in Boston to take swift action against the rebels. Shortly afterwards, war broke out.
The Colonies were largely unprepared for war. They lacked a central government and had neither an organized army or navy. Delegates from the colonies formed the first Continental Congress, which took on the duties of a national government. Congress directed the war effort and voted to organize an army and a navy. George Washington, a wealthy Virginia landowner and former military officer, was appointed commander in chief of the Continental Army. On July 4, 1776, the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, in which the colonies declared their freedom from British rule.
Tension had been building between Great Britain and the American Colonies for more than 10 years before the Revolutionary War began. Starting in the mid-1760's, the British government passed a series of laws to increase its control over the colonies. Americans had grown used to a large measure of self-government. They strongly resisted the new laws, especially tax laws. Fierce debate developed over the British Parliament's right to tax the colonies without their consent.
Great Britain with its larger and better trained army and navy launched a huge land and sea effort to crush the revolution. However, they had to transport and supply its army across the Atlantic Ocean. As the war continued, the British won many battles but gained little from their victories. The American patriots always formed new forces and continued the fight.

Advent of Slavery in Unites States
Date Added: May 01, 2010 06:59:03 PM

Category: Science: Social Sciences
Today's modern and developed country, United States of America had also experienced the most crucial racism in its history. That racism was about Slaves and Slavery, connected to the violation of human rights. It is a worldly accepted fact that slavery/racism has never been a more significant issue in USA than any other country. It was considered more important than the existence of USA. Slavery is an unpaid type of labour without any rights. Many people do not know the grounds that how slavery emerged so powerfully on the soil of America.
American continent had a vast land to cultivate which the agriculturists could not manage alone, they needed help of labour. Initially white indentured labourers were employed by those agriculturists who wanted to come to American continent during colonization but they did not have money. The discovery of tobacco as a cash crop increased the value and need of labour. Southern states were agriculturists and they used to cultivate crops like tobacco, rice, indigo, sugarcane, and cotton. These were all labour-intensive crops. Gradually, slavery became indispensible for southern colonies.
Slaves came entered the American continent in 1526 for the first time when first effort to establish a colony was carried out. However the colony was disappeared soon but slaves remained there and had taken roots in American soil. Then in 1619, a formal process for the trade of slavery was initiated when a Dutch Vessel sold twenty one Negro slaves to the colony of James Town, Virginia. In 1649 there were 200 slaves and later their number was increased up to 2000 only in Virginia.
Since 1774 a slight decline in slavery was observed when Rhode Island banned importation of slaves. But internal slave trade was not stopped. Consequently, a minor awareness was developed and different slaves started effort to abolish slavery, Pennsylvania, Quackers, and New York were mainly participating for its abolishment. This effort had not been proved so powerful that could stop slavery in American continent. As the Cotton Gin was invented in 1793 a rapid increase in slavery was noticed again. Southern sates tried their efforts all out to get slaves from any source and at any cost. Slave population increased from 800,000 in 1790 to 4000000 in 1860. This caused a rift between Northern and Southern States and this issue became a political issue.
Southern were supporters of slavery and so defended it, because they were heavily dependent upon slaves services for the crop cultivation. On the other hand Northern States talked about human rights as being industrialists, slavery was never developed there. Hence, slavery had drawn a line of distinction between industrialized free north and agriculturists slave south. Slavery was the main reason for the civil war which was proved to be very cruel in world history.

"Indentures were mortgages on the future, a promise made to work for the person who paid one's freight and guaranteed passage to the New World. The written contract, if it existed, was a legally enforceable agreement. Its terms usually meant a period of service—typically four to seven years—in exchange for the cost of transportation, sustenance, and shelter. By one estimate, three-fourths of the white population were dependent laborers when they arrived in the New World. But for a variety of reasons, many sailed without a contract in hand and took their chances on working out an agreement once they arrived in Virginia or Maryland. If they found no suitable employer, the ship's captain could sell them to anyone he pleased. "

They did not bring people here to serve as indentured servants it was people who were already here and who owed a debt. Also some who owned indentured servants had been slaves themselves at one time.

Follow me real close here....The first people who arrived here did not have slaves they came to escape high taxes, poverty, and slavery where they were from....(no slaves chattel or otherwise yet)....to make it shorter I'll say some decided they couldn't make a go of things without more help and needed workers..... :idea3: We'll just buy people and what better place than where we came from because we know they want to escape and will be ripe pickin's. And it mushroomed from there into what eventually became slavery. There were no factories yet either. :razz: Now go have your laugh and snicker to yourselves just quit trying to make all the slavery, racial, bigot BS a political corporate greed thing from day one. It was a human greed period as in all humans not just one race or background.

From what I been told on the birds. The crows and the pigeons are about the same size as parents and fully feathered out. You might tell the young pigions at that time, is their colors will be a little brighter.
Interstate highways for Hawaii? Would be like the million dollar highway to nowhere in Alaska. The highway that Sara asked for but really didn't ask for. Huh?
Why does Hawaii have interstate highways?
Any highway built under the auspices of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and funded by the federal governent is called an interstate highway, even if it doesn't cross state lines. In fact, there are many local routes that lie entirely within a single state funded by the Act.
Hawaii has three interstates - H1, H2, and H3 - which connect important military facilities on the island of Oahu.

You're the only one trying to do that. The rest of us were discussing how indentured servants came to this country.
Oh yeah, you and Glen Beck were also trying to prove it was invented by some black guy who was indentured at Jamestown.

they aren't discussing the same thing!If y'all are really concern about the integrity of the domain, check out the rating on websitetrafficspy or Alexa. That's what I do when I'm using a source with which I'm unfamiliar. It's especially helpful with those "news of the weird" propaganda sites the lunatic fringe prefer.
Actually, watching
me squirm around and try to deny she said what she said, when any idiot can page back one screen and read her original idiocy, is frighteningly reminiscent of the public utterances of most current political figures. Have we all really become that stupid? ... that we let them get by with EASILY DISPROVED lies, and vote for one or the other of these ethically bankrupt candidates in every election?
Surely there must be a reckoning.

No. It generates shock waves in the air, but if no living being is there to translate those shock waves into a sound, then there is no "sound."

:rolleyes: The recorder recorded the sound waves through it's microphone. When played back the sound wave would be transferred to your microphone's, your ears, which would transfer the sound waves to your brain. With out your ears or your brain there would be no noise.

. . .residents of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes are expected to get the piles of snow that'll be lacking elsewhere.
The Farmers' Almanac, which claims 80 to 85 percent accuracy and says it correctly forecast heavy snow in Middle Atlantic states last winter, bases its predictions on a secret mathematical formula using the position of the planets, tidal action of the moon and sunspots.. . .
According to the upcoming edition of the Farmer's Almanac. . . :biggrin:
Since that last comment was weather related, I'll stick to that theme. Have a look at the map below showing the 2 PM ADT advisory for Hurricane Earl. This is what gives emergency managers in NYC nightmares. Earl is expected to approach that area this weekend as a major hurricane (Cat 3 or above). If you look, New York City and the totality of Long Island is in the cone of uncertainty. If one of these hurricanes ever track just a bit more to the west (which they very well could do), NYC would be looking at a disaster that would make 9/11 look like a party. It's been estimated that it would take 14 hours to make the necessary evacuations out of that metro area if one of these things ever came their direction. Most meteorologists say it's not a matter of if, it's simply a matter of when.

"How the Washington Shakespeare Company came to offer Shakespeare in Klingon"
t the company's annual benefit Sept. 25 in Rosslyn, selections from "Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing" will be performed in the language that was invented for the Klingon characters of the "Star Trek" films. Actors will be speaking the verse in two languages, English and Klingon, and the lines in each will correspond to the Bard's signature meter: iambic pentameter.
No kidding. This is the group that three years ago staged a really, really different version of "Macbeth" -- in the nude. On this occasion, its actors will simply be cloaking the famous lines in words from the Klingon dictionary that Okrand published 25 years ago. Lines like "taH pagh taHbe.' " Which perhaps you know as: "To be or not to be."

You may get some bands from it, but I think you should be safe. The Outer Banks will see the worst, but the business end of that storm is on the east side so you should be safe there where you are.
Well Earl has finally decided to turn right. . . But who knows where he is really headed?

Yep! DVR it for my wife and then watch it with her. It's alright, but I've been disappointed the last two episodes. . . "Kate's" the reason we watch it. Although I must say the makeup artists do a great job of covering the bullet hole in the middle of her forehead! :biggrin:
Yep, that't the reason I watch it, but I'm finding that I'm identifying with Rizzoli.
If you haven't seen the movie "Stealing Home" w/Mark Harmon and Jodie Foster, I'd recommend it. It's a lil' chick flicky, but over all a decent storyline and he does an awesome job. I don't know when it came out...early 90's?
No wonder we watch the History channel and movies........

Got the freezers defrosted and cleaned out Monday and dropped a big package of frozen chicken on my foot and it hit on it's edge on the last toe joint of my 3rd toe.....I said ouch, among a few other few choice words, and my toe is nice and black now....on the upside it, the bruise, is starting to fade, the swelling is going down now, and I can walk without limping.
At least it wasn't a 20+ pound frozen turkey! :biggrin:
And for that I was very grateful. :yes:

Well, I sure glad you didn't break a piggy and heard you go wee, weee all the way to the hospital. Mashed piggies really hurt. I know. :smile: :yes:
Life is too short to spend any time with the people who suck the happiness right out of you! :yes:
I figure not much of a point in going to the hospital 'cause there's nothing they can do for a broken toe anyway. Did that last year when toes met vacuum. Now that hurt for days and I had to use a cane to even be able to walk for almost a week. I know it was broken 'cause I could feel the break once I could stand to touch it.

Well, Sweetie, let me tell you a little story. Had a friend, worked with him. Hard headed. Dropped a heavy part on toe. He hobbled around for weeks bitching how much his toe hurt. Everybody told him to go get an X-Ray Herbie.
Well, the pain finally got through his hard head. Got X-Ray, toe had been broken, mended in wrong location. They had to break toe again and he had to wear a short cast for a while.
The doctor told him if he had came in when he first broke it they could have reset it and taped it to his other toe.
Hell, Herb always want to do everything the hard way. Is it your turn? :biggrin:
Hum, didn't think about that. Mine healed in the right place at least so I guess I lucked out. If it happens again I'll think about what you said and will probably at least go to the emergency room.

What in H*ll has happen to the school teachers of today. Another young girl has died at her own hands because of Bullies.
A 16 year old girl from Cleveland Ohio tied a rope around her heck and jumped out of her bedroom window. She had been bullied by a group of girls for a long time and nothing was done to stop it.
What also is really "SICK" when the girls who had tormented her approached her open coffin they laughed at the way she looked. So they say.
We need to stop bulling and name calling in all schools with ZERO Tolerance.

I don't think it is the teachers fault....Maybe the PARENTS of these freakin brats need to beat their little ARSES, and some introduce some REAL discipline in their crappy lives. Whatever happened to being accountable for your own actions...these kids are accoutable by their parents. I agree with you though that this bullying crap is WAY out of control. But it all starts at home...
Doesn't most bullying nowadays happen over the internet?
And that is the teacher's fault how?

What the hell has happened is society has turned our kids into a bunch of panty waists!
In our time when kids bullied you took it as long as you could stand it, then kicked their asses or got your ass kicked a time or two. But that usually cured it whether you won or they did. Bullies used to STFU when they found out it meant risking physical defense. . .
Now its a felony when you kick a bully's ass, and kids tend to grab a gun, which is also a felony. Everything's a felony today. . . And a felony conviction means limited chances in life. . . so kids are turning to suicide rather than go to their parents. . .
In sixth grade I kicked Terry Leatherman's ass on the playground and sent him crying to the teacher.
I had to take a lot of punishment from the school, but the bullying stopped.
You're right in one respect, PH -- a good ass-whipping will cause bullies to seek easier targets elsewhere.
It was a lesson I learned early in life. I got my ass kicked a few times and did the ass kicking a few times, but in every case the bully went elsewhere rather than mess with me anymore. Sure, I got my punishment from the schools for my role, but it also put the schools on notice about those jackasses! :smile: And it spared my younger siblings a lot of it too . . . :biggrin:

I don't disagree. I wasn't picked on, but the stakes a little higher now. Life is faster, kids are more advanced and harder too in a lot of cases. I don't recall being as mature as my 13 year old daughter when I was her age. We have a rule in place that must be followed unless she's in danger. She tries to talk to the person, tries to walk way, tries to enlist the assistance of an authority figure or me. If those avenues don't work, then she has my full permission to put them on their azz :box: and then I'll deal w/the school. :trustme: So, far we've had 100% success rate w/out getting to the last part. Sometimes, I wish my daughter would use the big brother advantage :biggrin: but lil' miss independent likes to take care of herself. I have NO idea where she gets that from. :nocomment:
That sounds much cheaper and just as easy. :biggrin:

we are on the same page on this one Sandy, THAT is exactly what I preach to my kids....only once, has one of my kids had to get physical, but it was a last resort, and the problem was resolved between them because of his actions....both came away with a few bumps and bruises....and both learned a lesson from it.

Amazing that you recall the guy's name. I only had to prove myself three times. Once I had endured endless torment on the school bus, for no apparent reason. I didn't tell anyone because back then, you just didn't tattle. One day, I was fed up and I grabbed Tina and dragged her off the school bus (because I knew I'd get into trouble for fighting on the bus :biggrin: ) and pounded away on her until she scrambled back on the bus. The fact that she was in HS and I was in middle school made it even more humiliating for her. The bus driver came to my defense when I was called to the HS the next day. The second time was in defense of someone else who was being bullied. She wasn't really even my friend, but the events that were taking place weren't her fault and it was just all wrong. The girls tormenting her were my friends. The vice principal let me slide on that one w/out punishment. The girl eventually committed suicide. The last one was a swift jab to the solar plexus of a guy who thought it'd be okay to touch my butt, in front of his friends, as I walked down the hall. I don't know what ever became of him, but I hope he's nicer to females.
I recall every single on of their names myself. One of them went on to rape, mutilate, and murder my sister's best friend in high school, and was sentenced to life in prison. He was subsequently murdered in jail by the brother of his victim. . .
Three of them are currently serving time over infractions that range from federal racketeering to murder.
Three others are dead, one by their own hand.
All of them were bullies in school, and all of them gave me crap; and all of them were physically confronted by this author which ended their screwing with me. . . and my siblings. . .
I sorry that you thought I was blaming the teachers on bullying. What I meant was the the school should tell these bullies that they will be kick out of school if their caught and the kid need to be told the it is safe to report it to a teacher and be protected by the teachers and not the have to face the problem alone.
My 5th and 6th grades were made miserable by 4 bullies. Everyday and everyday they would take turns beating me up. There were two brothers Bob and Bill Stiner one day they pushed me down and I broke my collarbone.
In the next 1 1/2 years I grew around 7 inches and put on about 50 pounds of meat and muscle baling hay in the summer. That fall Old Bob Stiner caught me and I kick the shit out of him and I told him to tell Bill he was next. A week later Bill walked around a corner of a building and ran right into me. He took one look and ran like a girl. The other two bullies quit school at age 16 in the 7 grade. I never had a problem with bullies again.
But some kids don't get big and mean and can't take care of the problem by themselves, here where the guns come in. We got to stop the bulling of our kid. :kick:

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, she's your mom, you only get one mom. I guess you got to be nice. You never did tell everything you did anyway. She would probably would faint away if she did know.
My mom was a real church lady. I didn't get married until I was 26. She thought the devil had me already, the way I drank, smoked, drove fast and chased women. But she still loved me. :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink:
No, not my mom. My mom passed. She's the mom of one of the kid's on my daughter's team.
Yeah, I had a very religious person in my family who actually said that I'm evil. Not because of a temper and I like the color black, but I didn't walk around in it all the time...it was because I perspire over my top lip when I get hot. I guess that's a sign or something. :biggrin: There's also the time that she took me to church, I had bronchitis and got overheated and started coughing. Rather than interupt the service, I got up to get a sip of water to sooth the cough. She said the devil was trying to come out of me and I ruined it. ;D
It's amazing that I turned out fairly normal. :biggrin:

Lester, are they completly water proof. In other words if they were covered with a snow drift and would let water and snow into the electronics. If you don't know and you like them take them up and put them in a dry place. It really depends on how well you like them and how much they cost.

Well, if she not your mom and a religious pain in the ass. I would take her to the side and tell her that you're an atheist and you don't care to hear all of that religious stupid bullshit. And when she around you to keep her damn mouth shut about it.
Also tell her at that time that if she says anything about you being an atheist you will deign it and you will sue her for slander. Also remind her, "oh, you know how much a lawyer cost to defend yourself. I have over the year worked with a lot of religious nuts and I do not suffer them to well. I will tell them off and they think the devil :devil29: is alive and well.

No, Troll buddy, I think you have me beat on that one. When I was a teen, the green army jackets and combat boots were a fashion statement w/our ripped jeans ;D I never thought the boots were comfortable and I've wondered how anyone hikes long distances in them or does PT. Sometimes I go down to the beach to watch the seals workout :sneaky: and they have them running into the water and then jogging down the beach in their boots. I don't think I could ever do that. Anyway, hats-off! Mine was just a little muscle soreness from standing so long.
I think the sorest my feet ever were was when I did one of those 20 mile March Of Dimes walks a few years ago. I've always been fairly active but that was a bit over the top. It was just slightly worse than when we went to 3 State parks one weekend and walked almost all of the trails in each one for a total of 15 miles some of which were up and down hills and steps.

I was in pretty good shape when I was a kid. But one day at the Shade State Park on the it's longest trails and up down those steep hills. It was all you wanted. Sleep all the way home.
That was one of them we did that weekend and Turkey Run too. I was thinking there were 3 but it was only those two. We camped at Shades the first night and did all those trails and then broke camp and headed for Turkey run, spent the next night there and did those trails. My legs were like jello by Sunday evening. The kids were still rarin' to go though...ugh.

The definition of religion is: the shelter from fear. It is a shelter built upon a foundation of words and text against the fears of the unknown, of death or ceasing to exist, and of perceived hopelessness. Its roof is the very antitheses of the acquisition of knowledge or the limited scientific truths that would rain in. Its walls have been, and remain, a prison of cruelty, injustice, death and suffering to the entire human race. . .Mitch Snider

I had a colonoscopy on Thursday and thank goodness the doctor administers a nepenthe so that you don't remember the humiliation of having a six-foot rubber hose rammed up your arse. :icon_twisted:
If you remember the experience, the drug wasn't nepenthe. :smile:
Probably the most famous reference to nepenthe was used by the character in Poe's "The Raven," who begged for it in order to forget his "lost Lenore."
Old Morty was pretty shrewd, after getting a large cash loan from his brother Leroy on a verbal contract, he broke out a bottle of of nepenthe for a toast.

And I don't remember the experience. In fact, I don't remember any of that day. :confused:

Got some cookin' away in the crock pot now. I used a clove of garlic cut in half though since I don't have any minced garlic and didn't want to mince it myself, gettin' lazy in my old age I guess...hehehe
Quote from: Palehorse on October 13, 2010, 04:40:39 PM
It is good!!!!!! I chunked up about 5 potatoes, 2 cans of whole green beans, and one package of smoked sausage. Added a half stick of butter and one tablespoon of minced garlic. Cooked it on high for 4 hours and it was VERY good!!!!!! :smile:
Tonight, it is home made burritos! Meat is done, tomatoes diced, lettuce shredded, onions diced, cheese shredded, and secret sauce and sour cream is ready. All I need now is for momma to get home and the tortillas will be warmed in 30 seconds! :smile:

Daughter came a got the leftovers from ours. . . It was damned good too! :biggrin:
Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
Were in the next room at the hoedown. . .
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown ...
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot!
And Rocky collapsed in the corner. . .

There are times when we go through 6lbs in one month, especially in the summer, but very rarely do we use less than 3lbs a month. We even put onions on egg sandwiches sometimes.

This is so sad: Please put this on your status if you know someone or are
related to someone who suffers from stupidity. People need to understand
that stupidity is real and should be taken seriously. You could be
sitting next to a sufferer right now. There is still no known cure for
stupidity and sympathy does not help. But we can raise awareness. 93% won't because they don't know how to copy and paste.

Sometimes they run into problems trying to find that particular organ in a donor's body. My poor Uncle Coonrod's head was so firmly implanted up his ass, after he passed away it took major surgery to remove it and then they learned he didn't even have a real brain to begin with. For the readers who are familiar with medical terminology, he was diagnosed as having "shit for brains" an ailment common, but certainly not limited, to lifetime politicians. For those who haven't been to medical school, it means he was an idiot. That's why a lot of political candidates talk out their ass. My aunt Amy's last husband donated his body to a University. After they were done with it they sent back what was left in a cardboard box. Burned her ass too, she thought she got out of paying burial expenses.

And now a thousand years between.
Then, as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Behind skies of fortune, each has gentle rain
On the wings of maybe, downy birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didnt have to go
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go
Changes fill my time, baby, thats alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be
Did you ever really need somebody, and really need em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best something you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would
Dewy eyes now sparkle, senses grown keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didnt have to go
We are eagles of a nest, the nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought Id see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin, oh darlin
Im never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave
Holdin on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin on, ten years gone...

Whenever my company has an Internet connectivity problem, I instantly get a line of people at my office door wanting to know when I will "get it fixed." :rant:

Dear Corporate Users,
We have a down internet connection. It's because someone deleted the internet when they dragged the little blue 'e' to the recycle bin. We are working with our internet service provider to restore the whole world wide web from tape backup. The problem is that the offsite storage for the WWW tape backup, is on another planet and with NASA grounded we have to use one of those Russian space flights to get the tapes. So it's a little slower than a regular restore.
Then I let them steam for an hour or so after I fix it. I let them know it's back up with a followup e-mail ...
Okay folks, it would appear that the Soyuz capsule was able to retrieve the tapes and restore the WWW. Thank you Russians! Three cheers for those guys!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the rash of counterfeit bills being passed in KY McDonalds? Someone, possibly an organized gang, is taking 100 dollar bills and erasing one of the zeroes and passing it as a 10 dollar bill. Since they have security strips in them and the same paper these fakes are very hard for the cashiers at McDonalds to detect.

Went shopping with the wifey this weekend at the local mall. Passed by the Family Christian Store and noticed that they had installed theft detectors by the front door.
Disturbing.
They better have detectors on the doors. Cause GEEE! That's what I got on my Christmas list is a bunch of Christian crap, especially a plastic Jesus for my dash. :biggrin:
Shoppers heading out for Black Friday may want to purchase their winter gear early.
Weather forecasters with AccuWeather think a major storm system will take shape over the Midwest during the early or middle part of next week, before heading eastward.
"While it is still too early to map out the details on this system, including track and timing," the AccuWeather report said, "we know that if it does form, it will bring rain to areas south and east of its center, while snow falls to its north and west. "
The general forecast calls for possible snow from the Great Lakes into the Northeast, and rain from the Southeast to the mid-Atlantic.
"However, the first major lake-effect snow event of the season is likely to kick in behind the storm across the Great Lakes, so people camping out in that region Thursday night may be dealing with snow no matter which scenario unfolds," the AccuWeather forecast said. :snowcld:

Congrats to your grandson. From what I understand it takes a lot of discipline and practice to win a belt. I'll be awaiting the announcement of Tucker's next month. :smile:

I'm wondering why people intentionally buy minivans although I'm not sure they could do it by accident. ;D

I wonder why you think it's funny to own a minivan or a small SUV. My wife owns a Ford Escape. It's a great little van. I'm 6ft 21/2 in tall my wife is 5ft 10in tall and it's so easy to get in with plenty of head room and fun to drive. Great in parking and running around town. Great in gas mileage, it's cute and it's a great van to go along with my Ford F250, V10, Super Duty Crew cab truck. But when we go some where with friends, we take the Big Truck, with it's four doors and leather seats and with an inside as large a a living room. :biggrin:
Just last week my wife and I were looking at a new Escape in the parking lot and we both agreed we will never own another sedan, two of four door. MY neck doesn't bend over like is use to and bending to get in a car is to tough. My Sandy loves her Escape and so do I. :biggrin: :thumbsup: to a Ford Escape. :yes: :biggrin:
I think a small SUV is much different than a minivan. I see the minivan as our generations station wagon. ;D To each his own though, there must be a market for them and a lot of satisfied customers because I see a lot of them on the highways. :yes:
I can say that being a dad with five kids, a minivan has been a necessity, in no way is it my preferred, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My wife would not even consider anything else, until our kids are all gone.

Ding, ding, ding, ding! We have a winnah! :yes:
Mini vans made the station wagon obsolete. Instead of riding in the back scrunched up with the luggage or the gear, now the kids can ride in comfort in the rear! (And be entertained via dvd, etc.)
Mini vans are much easier vehicles in which to transport children and their infant siblings, and still have room for the groceries while providing comfort. They indeed do have a niche in the American consumers lives, that may not ever go away unless fuel efficiency becomes a serious issue for the owners.
Like the station wagon, they are becoming increasingly popular with those families that love to camp too; representing an emergency shelter in case the tent springs a leak or blows away during a storm; and one in which they can all sleep in relative comfort despite the weather and its ill intentions. :biggrin:
Me? No I don't want one. . . My 2500HD suits me just fine right now! :biggrin:

When the bulk of our nation is lethargically lolling around in a turkey coma on Thursday, we will be at our most vulnerable. . .

And again, here comes the friggin rain! 3-5 inches of that crap expected by the end of Turkey day, and starting at 10 am this morning. . .

Yesterday was a loooooong but enjoyable day with family. Just enough left overs for lunch today. The daughter from Tn and her family along with the grandson and his family are coming over later today to visit before they both head back tomorrow. The grandson brought his guitar and wants to do some pickin' and grinnin' with hubby and me and the grand daughter brought her flute and wants me to get mine out and do a little playin' with her. If they're here for supper it's definitely gonna be pizza though. Ain't cookin' :no: :biggrin:
Consumed two different thanksgiving dinners 4 hours apart and at two different locations yesterday. Struggled through the first round of turkey coma and was able to stay awake. The second one not so much! :biggrin:

Nope. . . not really. One end has pretty much stopped, but the south end hasn't. . .
But he's being so good about it. He comes right to mom or dad the second he has to go. . . Then lays down once we come back in. Poor thing. I know he's hurting and I wish there was something I could do for him, but it'll just have to works its way through him. . . :'(
I may have to stay up tonight with him just in case. . .

It's so hard when the pets are sick, because they can't tell us what's hurting or what they need. :(
My animals seem to have fared okay w/everything. Benji has learned to like ham and turkey. He wouldn't eat people food until about a year ago and I didn't care, because I'd prefer to just feed him the dog food, but someone always tries. Mojo normally won't eat any meat that has been cooked, but she was scarfing down some ham and turkey as well. She's definitely not a stereotypical finicky cat.
At any rate, give the pup a hug for us. I hope he feels better soon.
Thanks. . . He's finally starting to feel a little better. . . He had a milk bone but really doesn't want anything to eat, and I can understand that. I will feed him EARLY tomorrow.
He's such a good boy though. Never puked or pooped in the house not one single time, and made sure he let us know every time he had to do either.
He's never getting another real bone though. I am not letting him go through that again. . . :no:

Sounds like you should maybe consider calling the vet.
I got him to eat some plain white rice and a milk bone. He was getting lethargic, and is still. He just ate several cups of rice though so hopefully that will help settle his digestive tract and get him to feeling better. If not, he goes to the vet tomorrow. . .

PH if you have any plain chicken broth on-hand, you can mix that w/the white rice and it should be okay for his stomach. That'll get some vitamins back in his system.

I should have thought about that myself, but I'll have to go to the store and get some. Thanks! :smitten:
Amazingly he seems to know best surrounding what he can eat right now and cannot. I gave him his usual food this morning, which remains untouched. But the second I made the rice and sat it down in front of him he began eating it right away. And he is eating his milk bones too, which sat in front of him most of the day. And he is finally drinking water again. I had to get his "outside bowl" and fill it with water and ice cubes, and he began drinking it. . .
He is not as lethargic as he was, but still has a way to go before I am saying he's out of the woods yet. I will be staying up tonight with him to help him avoid any accidents. (He had one last night but even had the sense to go on the granite and not the carpeted area. He seems to be very leery of waking us up in the middle of the night for some reason or another. He even took us right to his accident when we got up this morning, showing us what he had done, head down and tail tucked, and obviously sorry and ashamed). We didn't scold him or anything, just went about cleaning it all up and sanitizing the floor. He seemed confused by that. . . :biggrin:
I need a real big swift kick in the rear end for even giving that to him, but I have learned my lesson in spades. He will not get another real bone as long as I remain his alpha male! Not one! :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Stayed up until about 4 am this morning with the pup. Every hour to hour and a half I would go wake him up and make him go outside. The shit weasel has not made an appearance since about 7 last night.
Pup cleaned out his food bowl about 2 this morning, and when he did that I stayed up another 2 hours to make sure it stayed in his stomach, which it appears it did. Mrs Horse took him out this morning before work, and said she had to wake him up to make him go outside. He had a bowl movement then but it was too dark outside to see if it was still shit weasel like. . .
I got up about 10:30 am today and when I came downstairs he was his usual self, holding his toy bone, wagging his tail so hard I thought his butt would fall off, and growling his "good morning dad" greeting to me. :biggrin: Then he dropped his toy and ran to his downstairs bed where the milk bone mom gives him before leaving each morning sat. He does this every day and waits for me to tell him to go ahead and eat it before doing so. I gave him the command and he sucked it right down.
Took him outside and he was running and jumping and did his usual marking activity, and no bowl movement. When we came back in, (I refused to allow play time just yet), he gave me the "dad I am hungry" signal by going to his food bowl and moving it around, then came and put his head in my lap when I ignored it, and began giving me the stare and started "talking" to me about it. When I asked him what he wanted he went straight to his food bowl and gave me the "I'm hungry dad" series of growls and yips. . . :biggrin:
He sat patiently by as I filled his bowl with his usual mix of dry and canned food, and when I told him to go ahead and eat it he dove right in. He is now napping contently on his bed right next to my chair. . .
So it appears the rice worked very well on his shit weasel, and while I am not ready to declare an absolute victory for him as of yet, I am pretty darned sure he's at the edge of the woods and cocked and locked! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: And I am so thankful to have my little puppy back! :yes: :yes: :yes:
My mom used to say that if you're hungry, then you're not sick. :biggrin: It sounds like he's on the mend and I know you're happy about that. :yes:

Stayed up until about 4 am this morning with the pup. Every hour to hour and a half I would go wake him up and make him go outside. The shit weasel has not made an appearance since about 7 last night.
Pup cleaned out his food bowl about 2 this morning, and when he did that I stayed up another 2 hours to make sure it stayed in his stomach, which it appears it did. Mrs Horse took him out this morning before work, and said she had to wake him up to make him go outside. He had a bowl movement themn but it was too dark outside to see if it was still shit weasel like. . .
I got up about 10:30 am today and when I came downstairs he was his usual self, holding his toy bone, wagging his tail so hard I thought his butt would fall off, and growling his "good morning dad" greeting to me. :biggrin: Then he dropped his toy and ran to his downstairs bed where the milk bone mom gives him before leaving each morning sat. He does this every day and waits for me to tell him to go ahead and eat it before doing so. I gave him the command and he sucked it right down.
Took him outside and he was running and jumping and did his usual marking activity, and no bowl movement. When we came back in, (I refused to allow play time just yet), he gave me the "dad I am hungry" signal by going to his food bowl and moving it around, then came and put his head in my lap when I ignored it, and began giving me the stare and started "talking" to me about it. When I asked him what he wanted he went straight to his food bowl and gave me the "I'm hungry dad" series of growls and yips. . . :biggrin:

Indeed I am! (Funny how things like this can make you ecstatic isn't it?).
He's tired because of the potty drills I put him through all night, and I am sure from being so sick the previous two days as well. But he seems to be feeling a whole LOT better, and once he has a normal bowl movement I'll be satisfied. . . :smile:
Poor thing. . . I bet his butt hole is raw and sore from that damned shit weasel! :'(
I had to get caught up on this one..............I'm glad you have been able to nurse your puppy back to good health.
I'm sure that was not easy, just like one of the kids, huh?

:biggrin: Worse in a lot of ways though! :spooked:
They cannot speak to tell you what hurts, and they cannot tell you when they need to blow chow or crap. . . unless you are paying close attention to them.
He's not out of the woods yet, and the weasel is still around. I took him out a little bit ago and he crapped all over himself. SO I had to give him a bath, which he was in no mood for to say the least. . .
But its more soft serve now instead of spewing watery excrement. I made some fresh white rice and mixed 3 cups in with a can of his food for dinner tonight, and he ate every last bit of it. That should help substantially to provide some solidity to his bowl movements. I think he's well onto the path of healing though, but dad's staying home from bowling this evening to make sure. :yes: :biggrin:
I'll be satisfied he's alright when his digestive system returns to normal, and not a moment before. He's my lil puppy and I am the reason he is sick, so I will nurse him back to health no matter what it takes. (Which I'd do even if I didn't cause him to be sick).
It's amazing how ingrained in our lives our pets become. Even when their primary purpose is security and protection, they still worm their way into the very core of our hearts. It is indeed a lot like having another child. . . but you can get people to watch your children! :biggrin:
I am now ready to officially declare the weasel is dead and the pup is fine! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smile: :smile: :smile:
I fixed him more white rice last night and mixed it with his regular canned food. He scarfed it right up, and all is back to normal today.
I will feed him the same thing tonight, then transition him back to his regular feeding starting tomorrow.
I even played with him for about an hour this morning outside, and he got all covered in mud in the process. But I was happy to be cleaning him up when we were finished, and he is back to his typical behaviors and attitude now. . . :biggrin:
AWESOME!.....HIGH FIVE!
Today is "Pay it Forward" Day. I don't know if it's "officially" that, but I remember last year there was something similar and it really worked. Someone started it at Starbucks by buying the person behind him a cup of coffee and from what I understand it continued most of the day. There was a story about the toll plaza too. Someone payed for the person behind them and so it went. Random acts of kindness are very cool and I do think they spread as each person is uplifted my a stranger's thoughtfulness.
I don't know if the person did this b/c it's "Pay it forward" day or if they were just being nice, but I found a small bag w/the cutest Christmas ornaments on my stoop this morning.
I'm heading out in a couple hours and I'm going to be looking for an opportunity to pass it along. :yes:

Those of you who wear glasses, did your vision change all of a sudden?
I was sitting in about the same spot last night and I could clearly read the sign across the hall and down a piece. Tonight, it's so blurry that I can't read it. I can see the phone fine. I've blinked, looked and walked away, but the sign is still blurry from this spot. WTH? Seriously, this is freaking me out a little ;D

Stop what your doing and go to an eye doctor immediately. It could be glaucoma a torn retina. In any case don't wait, your eyesight might be a risk. I know of one person who lost his one eye because he waited to long.
GO TO AN EYE DOCTOR, CALL ONE AND TELL WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND THAT YOU WANT SERVICE NOW.
If your sinus are acting up that can cause your vision to change temporarily because of the pressure it puts on your eye from them being swollen. Also if you're nearsighted your glasses might need adjusted. If mine get the slightest bit out of adjustment it makes a difference. Whats freaky is if mine get out of adjustment just a certain way I can see double out of one eye because of the prescription. But, like Troll says, if you can discount all that give your eye Dr. a call.

Your blood sugar can affect your vision, when it is high or low.
Just be safe. to the eye doctor tomorrow. Don't take a chance with your eye sight.
it's wednesday. in case you weren't aware. you're welcome.
Interestingly enough it could have been any of those things. I'm awake now, b/c I can't stop sneezing and my nose is stopped up. At the time I posted that, I really had not eaten b/c I had been in meetings literally ALL day so maybe there was a decrease in blood sugar. Also, I've been becoming aware that my vision isn't as perfect as it once was, but I've been postponing the trip to the eye Doc. I think after last night, I'm going to make that appt. I did try again before I left and I could read it. ;D

When's the last time you had a check up? Sudden vision changes could also be a sign of impending stroke, but just because it could be a sign doesn't mean thats what it is.
A checkup / annual physical is always a good idea, and that includes the eye doctor as well.
Most likely it is jus an indication of eye strain and weariness. Especially if you were working with a computer a lot or something that required up close examination ofr a long period of time.
This happened to me one time, and I went tothe doctor right away. He told me I just needed to get some rest. . .

He probably will tell you to quit eating so much junk and sugar. And to start eating a better balance diet. By reading your posts you sound like the cookie monster, I love cooookieeees. :biggrin: Good luck on the doctor. :thumbsup:
for the record--i eat 2 dinner plate-sized spinach/romaine salads with bacon & veggies every week day for lunch (except this last 2 weeks--hospital, bed rest, etc.), rarely eat cookies, never eat cakes, candy is necessary. dinner is usually pastas, fish, or veggies. i eat a pretty good variety (though predominantly vegetarian). i hate going to the kidney doctor--but have no choice. (he better have some cookies--he IS going to torture me.) in other news, i hate internetting from my cell phone. that is all--carry on.

10 years a go my brother- in- law lost his kidneys. Had a one transplant. It lasted 9 years and he lost that. He passed away six months a go. After all the pain and medicine he took to keep it.
Take care of your kidneys. Ok?
i have been--they haven't been taking very good care of me though--kidney stones constantly and infections. i avoided the doctor for a long time--but after the last 2 weeks, i have to see him.
The roads in Anderson are VERY bad right now. Just ran to Payless for something and had to engage 4x4 in order to get anywhere.

Have you tried drinking softened water. I had a friend who's brother fell 30 feet on concrete. It almost killed him. He started getting kidney stones. His doctor put him on drinking softened water. Soft water has all of the rocks taken out of it. I was put on another shift so I don't know what happened. Ask your Doctor.

He is right. You have to watch which bottled water you drink. Some of them have minerals and "flavor enhancers" that are every bit as hard on your body as the hard water right ot of you sink's tap. . .

Nothing will take the hardness out of water but a softener (ion exchange) or distillation (boiling to steam). Since I sold and installed water condition products for around 40 years. I have found that coffee and tea tastes better with mineral free water. Soft or distilled water.
On my sink in the kitchen in have soft water on the main faucet and a hard water, carbon filtered cold faucet. The carbon is to filter out chlorine in the city water. I always make the tea and coffee out of soft water. But for a drink of water I drink the hard filtered, chlorine free water.

One more thing, distilled water is sold at any grocery store. People use in in clothes irons, batteries, evaporators and anything that need mineral free water. Buy some and make some tea and see how clear it is and good it taste. There is nothing that will change the taste of tea or coffee in it. Some high iron well water will make tea and coffee cloudy and taste funny.
Got some mush made for fried mush in the morning, 4 DVD's copied to send to a friend, 20lbs of ground chuck split into pounds and patties and frozen, a flag patch sewn onto hubby's denim jacket, and chicken breasts in the oven for supper. Now it's time to play on the 'puter for a while. :biggrin:

My wife brought home another car load of stuff from work. (I keep telling her to drive the truck to work so she can carry more stuff). Anyway, today she brought home a couple of plastic barrels with no tops on them.
I intend to drill a hole near the bottom of these drums, and insert a petcock valve into the holes. Then I will place cheesecloth over the tops and secure it with strapping, and once spring comes I will set them out into the yard to catch rainwater. That way I will have a ready source to water the flowers from, and avoid paying the thieving city for water and sewer charges!!!!
. . . Of course, it will have to rain in order for me to use them. . .

My son did what you have planned. He didn't bother with the cheese cloth. But he did put a hose bib faucet on them and he hook up a hose to them and watered his garden.
I was luck the house I bought had a well in it. I bought a deep well pump, the well is 110 feet deep and put it in the well. I use it for all outside water use. At one time I had a 28ft about ground pool it took 21,000 gallons of water fill it. I filled it more than once. It took around 2 days to fill it. It's never ran dry. It saves on the water and sewer bill big time.

Yep. I plan to daisy chain the two barrels and place them under one of the downspouts coming off the roof. I just have to divert the downspout either by cutting through the side and forming a flap to divert to the barrel, or by cutting it off and running it to the barrels themselves.
Only problem may be the home owners association. . . They may object to it the bastards! :icon_evil: :icon_evil: :icon_evil: :icon_evil:

Get some fake leaves and make it look like a bush. But then again I know one guy that the home owners association wouldn't let him have a tomato plant in his front planter. The damn bastards. I wouldn't trade my old home for yours for that one reason. Let alone the property taxes. It would take something really great to get me to move.
I only plan to move once more. In fact my wife and I improved our new home. We got a new head stone for it about two months ago. :yes: :smile: This is the truth. No kidding.

The tax thing should be much better thanks to the people approving the tax cap legislation. . . But then again, who knows. . .
We have a set of wires for a street lamp sticking out of the ground on our parkway. We are into our 4th year here and they still have not put that street lamp up. I am about ready to fire off a nasty gram to those bastards in the HOA here soon. I've been mowing around it for almost 4 years now. . . WTF?
They can see the weeds in my neighbors yards and send them nastygrams about that, but they don't see that 3 foot encased wiring sticking out of the ground???? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'll have to check that out. Only Abby could take something like a turkey trott and make it hot. ;D
SIL took it one step further. He put two together and got a little pump and uses a hose just like out of the faucet. We still carry ours in watering cans...ugh. When we empty it in the fall, usually around the middle of Oct., we full plastic milk jugs and I use it for the house plants after I bring them in.

I have aconfession to make...
I really hate the movie "A Christmas Story".
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preseved body, but rather to skid in sideways, choclate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!" I don't know who wrote this but it seems like a great idea to me.

I used to dislike it, but about the time it came out on VHS, an older gentleman I worked with at the time told me how much he liked that movie, and how it reminded him of his own childhood. We ended up incorporating some of the lines from that movie into our own version of insider humor, and ever since then it has become one of my favorites. Not so much because it is a "great" movie in my view, but mostly because every time I see it I think of him.
He was a great man, an exemplary soldier, and a dear friend to me. I miss him but I am sure that he's watching that movie right now and laughing his butt off. The big C took him from us a few years back. . . :'( :'( :'(
Merry Christmas Dick! (Yep, that was his name!)

I loved it. I think the guy who wrote it stole my childhood. Me and my Daisy Red Rider BB gun. The bully, but in my life, his name was Duck Bill. Chased me home every night and if he caught me the beat me up. And I don't know how many times I was told that I would shoot my eye out. I also got my mouth washed out.
I remember shooting ice sicicles and watch them fall. Yes, it was a part of my life. Good movie.
Me, too.
My bully wasn't Scut Farkas, it was Terry Leatherman, and I beat the crap out of him in 6th grade.
A male's rite-of-passage.

I hope Old Scrooge Hawk will open his little leather purse and buy the kid some good junk. Like a drum set, a bugle, and some other noise makers. Maybe a Wolf, Pit Bull mixed pup.

I instituted a new family rule as of yesterday. All members of my family MUST watch, in the presence of ME (the father/husband) "It's a wonderful life". One of the best movies ever made, and is especially significant at this time of the year. Jimmy Stewart, in my opinion is one of the finest actors to have ever lived. He portrays George Bailey in a fashion only he can do. If this movie does not make anyone feel better about themselves, nothing will.

I love that one too, I took my wife and youngest kids to town near cleveland, and visited the house where they filmed it. It was amazing how run down that neighborhood is. The house was really cool, and there was a gift shop across the street from there. Even though it was a bit before my time, there are alot of things in that movie that reminds me of my childhood.

Maybe if my family had thought that a BB gun was an appropriate gift for a girl, then I may feel differently about the movie. ;D
BTW, I never got my train set either. I did however get set after tea set and cute little dolls w/blond hair. I gave them to my male cousins to use for target practice with their BB guns. Sometimes they'd let me shoot and it kept them focused off the poor chickens and ferel cats.

Oh, I have to sisters, had a lot of fun at their expense. One had a baby buggy, I would get it and run through the house like it was a race car. She would screeeeeeam MOM, he's running my buggy. When she would come in, I would be setting quietly in a chair, just doing nothing.
My youngest sister had a doll that the head would come off. I would grab the doll and tear off it's head. Sending my sister running for mom. By the time mother would get there, the head would be back on in it's bed and I would be setting quietly sitting in a chair. What fun. Sisters don't have a sense of humor. :yes: :biggrin: and still don't as women. Come to think of it no woman has a sense of humor when it comes to men. :wink: :smile:
Well, good grief, if that's the best ya got, no wonder. :razz: :biggrin:
One of my sisters kept throwing a ballpoint pen at me. I kept telling her to stop and she wouldn't, so I picked it up and threw it right back at her. . . and it stuck! :biggrin:

Productive day thus far. . . Got up early and went to Indy to pick up a fridge and a bookcase, got the fridge in place in the man cave, and got the smoking lounge back in order by organizing all the "stuff" that "automagically" appeared there over the last few weeks. Got the snow blower out and cleaned out the drive, and , sadly, got the steel-horse put up for winter! :smile:

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very light.
Hide the moment from my eager eye -
Though you've seen there, please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see, can't be very whole.
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
The setting up of other roads,to travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.

What I don't know, I have never shared.
Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever.
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the fact there shown
before you.
Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to say
that this is all confusion.
As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may

Don't forget the old tradition of having cabbage on the first day of the new year for good luck the rest of the year. We're having pressure cooked spareribs and sauerkraut, carrots and potatoes.
We have done it for years and it seem to have helped us. :biggrin: Happy New Year. :tiphat: :salute: :flag:

I have a nice ham in the crockpot w/potatoes, carrots, onions and seasonings and I'm going to saute some cabbage to go with it. I wish that I had spareribs though. That sounds delicious.
Some people believe black-eyed peas and greens bring good luck. I love both. :yes:

Organ donors save lives. Please make sure that you give this option due consideration, and to inform your friends and family of your desire to become an organ donor should the unthinkable occur! And have your status as an organ donor placed onto your drivers license if your state endorses doing so.
I have a personal friend who was lucky enough to be the recipient of the lungs from a 19 year old accident victim/organ donor just 4 short months ago. She was within the last months of her VERY young life, due to congenital lung defect over which she had no control what so ever.
Today she is a vibrant and active young woman that is truly thankful for the gift of life this unknown donor and donor's family gave to her. Without their unselfish generosity at such a trying time in their own lives, we would have surely been buring our friend this year.
Give the most precious gift one human being can give to another; the gift of life!

Today she is a vibrant and active young woman that is truly thankful for the gift of life this unknown donor and donor's family gave to her. Without their unselfish generosity at such a trying time in their own lives, we would have surely been buring our friend this year.
Give the most precious gift one human being can give to another; the gift of life!
I could not agree more PH.....

Dude! We could devote an entire thread to the study of Jon Anderson's lyrics and their meanings. I usually don't even pay attention to lyrics in a song. Being an instrumentalist, I mostly consider the voice to be just another instrument in the band. Yes changed all that for me.
This is one of my favorites -
"A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
Changed only for a sight, the sound, the space agreed
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you"To me, this is the ultimate love song, but as usual with Yes, also much more.

Indeed. I too get caught up in the instrumentation aspects of most tunes, and often forget to listen to the lyrics in order to obtain understanding of them. . . But Anderson and company have a way of eventually forcing me around to them too. And I agree with you surrounding the beauty to be found within many (most) of the words in their tunes. :yes:
Maybe one of us should start a "Yes" topic in our area(s). That woudl keep you and I busy for quite awhile eh? :biggrin:
BTW, "Yessongs" arrived this morning. . . 8) (And fyi for those of you thinking I must have hit the lottery or something- I used an Amazon gift card I received at Xmas to pay for all of these things! - So basically I pretty much updated my Yes collection AND it didn't cost me personally a penny!) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
To show you how jaded I've become, I find myself expecting some news that Sgt Giunta has something negative on his record or there are concerns about his having received the Medal of Honor.
Don't get me wrong, I sincerely hope not and with each passing day, I become more convinced that he's everything and has done everything he says he has, but I guess I have post-Lynch syndrome. IMO she deserved a medal and she didn't deserve to be dragged through the mud.
To be clear, I don't mean that she deserved the Medal of Honor. I meant that she deserved whatever recognition that she recevied w/out the media turning it into a "lynching".

Anyone here stockpile food? I did when my kids were little, always had three months of food at home except for fresh veggies and milk. Don't do that any more, but sometimes I think it might be a good idea.
Since we live a fair distance from civilization, we do have a fairly large larder.
Quote from: followsthewolf on January 25, 2011, 03:37:56 PM
Since we live a fair distance from civilization, we do have a fairly large larder.
As do we. . . we keep 8 to 16 weeks of provisions on hand most times. . . And a generator in case the electricity runs out. . .
It's why we like places like Sam's and Costco. We usually try to buy in bulk whenever possible.
We always have a stockpile of both frozen and shelf stable foods. Canned meat isn't the greatest but it's better than not having any at all. I also keep Milnot on hand in case I run out of milk. Just can't seem to make myself do the powdered milk thing. :no: Boxed 'taters ain't too bad if you put enough butter and milk in them and would be better than nothing at any rate. Self raising flour for fried bread and a supply of chicken and beef broth cubes. We do try to use it through the summer and start over in the fall. I was caught on a Fri with almost nothing and 3 kids at home when we had the blizzard in '79' and I decided that wasn't going to happen again.
I started because we only had one car and were not close to a bus line or any grocery within walking distance and I would run out of something or other and it was annoying. It came in very handy in 1970 when my husband was out on strike for almost three months. Now we live so close to grocery stores and eat out so much I usually only have a couple weeks worth of food. We don't have the big freezer anymore either. We always bought beef by the quarter or side.

Sort of, I keep canned soup, tuna and veggies on hand and buy them in large quantities when they're on sale. When it's just me at hme sometimes I'll have a can of veggies or soup for a meal. We eat a lot of tuna and soup is a great "cure" for sick kids or comforting when it's cool.
I buy meat in larger quantities b/c it's cheaper, but I don't have a big freezer so not too much, but enough on hand if I don't feel like stopping/going out to the market for frsh stuff. I buy a lot of frozen veggies too, but prefer fresh. Every now and then I don't buy any meat or veggies and we use up what we have and start over and it lasts about two weeks.
Palehorse - "friend" is a powerful word. I hope I can live up to it.
In "Saving Private Ryan" at the end of the movie, Ryan is kneeling at the tombstone of Capt. Miller. He asks his wife - "Tell me I'm a good man. "
That is all a man really can live for. To be a good man. I hope I can.

Though we have never met face to face, after interacting with you here for so many years and reading your words and postings, I know enough about you to say that we see a lot of things similarly, we share several interests, and to arrive at the conclusion that you are indeed, my friend.
We don't agree on everything, but friends do not have to. That, for me, is an important aspect of friendship; to challenge each other to open our minds and consider the perspectives of others in order to afford each other the opportunity to grow, and to maintain the compassion and level of caring despite our differences, demonstrates the commitment to that friendship.
I know enough about you personally to be comfortable in saying that you are my friend. Friendship is not something that has to be lived up to, but rather something that is earned. You, my friend, have more than earned that title from my perspective, as have a couple of others here. And while circumstances in life may serve to mute that friendship from time to time, it does not tarnish it nor lessen its importance.
You
are a good man based upon everything I know about you and have seen from you within this limited genre of social interaction; and should life one day provide us with the means to meet one another and share a drink or break bread, it would be an opportunity I would personally greet with great enthusiasm. (With a little Karma present I am sure Yes would be playing in the background). :smile:
Friends support one another, disagree, agree to disagree, but in the end they come full circle if their intentions are based on the foundation of honesty, caring, and trust. All three of which, like friendship itself, are earned. :smile:

I had the experience of a lifetime this weekend!
Some background as to why it was so very special to me.
1. I was about 9 or 10 years old and getting very interested in music. My mom took me into town so I could spend some of my allowance money on a record. And the very first record I bought for myself was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I played that record a gazzillion times and I still have it.
2. My dad once told me that it was his dream to see a live performance by a symphony orchestra. He never made it.
Saturday, I went to the Kennedy to hear the NSO perform Beethoven's 5th!!!!!!!
My tears flowed for almost the entire performance. My dad was with me. In my pocket was a little Bible that he had signed and given to me when I was a kid.
Happy for you and that you got to do something that your dad would have loved, too.
Thank you. Thank you very much!

Saturday, I went to the Kennedy to hear the NSO perform Beethoven's 5th!!!!!!!
My tears flowed for almost the entire performance. My dad was with me. In my pocket was a little Bible that he had signed and given to me when I was a kid.
Indeed he was! :yes: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Those moments in life are priceless! :yes: 8)

I suppose that is alright unless the voices in the woods start talking back and it gets darker and darker and spookie. The shadows get deeper and more threatening and you hear foot steps in the leaves and no one is there and as it get almost dark you see eyes everywhere looking at you.
Then it's completely dark and you hear large heavy breathing and foot steps coming up behind and a voice says. Boooooo, did you forget your GPS. :biggrin: :laugh: :laugh:

You just described ~vxn~'s nirvana!!!!!!!
Watching television tonight they were talking about walking away from a under water mortgage. Telling how the banks would not work with you on the under water mortgages.
They wrote the bank to shove the mortgage up where the sun don't shine. How much better they felt and the relief from the pressure they were under. How good it felt to get away from the home and neighborhood they were in.
More information on Huffington Report and DylinRatigan.com I sure would walk away from one of these turkeys, if the bank didn't make some big changes in the mortgage.

Best cure for a headache due to overindulgence, yeah I did during the superbowl, is some hard, physical work. . .
I went out and chopped ice for two hours straight, clearing the back patio, the front porch, and 3/4 of the driveway of 6 inches or more of ice! Headache - GONE! :biggrin: Ice - Almost gone! :rant:

Palehorse, since I have lost the information on how to contact the Zone Managers. I got a question, how long do these member blogs stay on?
Some of them has been on there from 2 to 5 years without any action. If they haven't had any action for that long, the bloggers must have sunk in the deep swamp of the Unknown Zone.
Now don't anyone out there have a heart attack, I think if they don't use it, they lose it. :yes: :o

Olias, being an avid reader, how do you like the Kindle? And because you are tech savvy I'm assuming you compared it to the Nook, why did the Kindle win out?
I've been debating both. I was dead set against the idea, support your local libraries, used book stores and all that, but also because I like the feel of the book in my hand. Google has had free classics online forever and I still grab them at the library. Anyway, I'm giving in. ;D I read so much between work and home that I think I can get one and still support the other sources. I'm just on the fence about which one/color or not.
Can you also load work related materials?

Sandy, I'm very sorry, and I didn't mean to fool anyone, but I posted that as a joke.
I don't own an eReader. Never will if I can help it. Yes, I am tech savvy, but a part of me holds on to those old fashioned ways. Besides, can you imagine reading the Washington Post in the bathroom on one of those things.
No ... reading is a moment to relax and not worry about those gizmos. To be able to pause, stop, reflect, jump back, skip around, skim ....... I'm afraid an eReader doesn't fit my lifestyle.
Sandy, I realize the question wasn't directed at me, but I have a kindle and love it. I asked several people who had them or the nook how they liked them. Everyone who had either liked them but two people who had changed from a nook to the kindle thought they were easier to read and had a better selection of reading material. That was why I chose the kindle. Istikk like the feel of a book but the kindle is much lighter to carry or hold and is nice if you are usually reading more than one book at a time. I did not get the 3G model so I need to be at a hot spot to download books but we are wireless at home so that has not been an issue. You can load documents on the kindle, don't know about the noon. I haven't tried to do that so can't sat how well it works.
Won't buy a kindle or other electronic book.
I know it makes no sense, and the future belongs to the electronics, but I use too many batteries now.
I can't shake the feel of a good book in my hands. Once the book is printed, it is good to be read hundreds of times without a drain on energy. The trees sacrificed to print it are renewable.
Call me stubborn, intractable, old fashioned, illogical, stupid, or whatever else comes to mind, but I won't have one.

Don't forget the smell. :) Maybe it's nuts or something other people don't notice, but I love the way the paper/ink smell. Especially an old book. One of my favorite places is an old dusty used book store.

That's okay, had I read a bit more, I would have caught on. ;D
I guess what's making me consider it, is the convenience thing. A kindle/nook does for reading what the smart phone does for internet surfing. It just makes it easier to stuff the "story" into your purse/pocket and take off.
Maybe it's the cozy factor that also makes me hesitant. I can't imagine getting cozy on the couch w/a flat screen. ;D

That's good info Anne and if i decide to go that route, I'll keep that in mind. Plus isn't "Nook" Barnes and Noble? If they're stuggling in business, I'm not sure I'd want one.
One of the other reasons that I'm actually considering it, is that my daughter wants one. Anything that will encourage her to read, is A-Ok with me. Neither of my children developed a love of books that I have. Maybe when they get older? or maybe their future is e-readers.
Yes, the Nook is Barnes and Noble. I got my Kindle from Amazon so I can order books from them, too.

GIRL WRESTLER CASSY HERKELMAN WINS A BOY'S IOWA STATE WRESTLING TOURNAMENT.
Isn't that just great, I hope she feel good and proud of her great and deserved win. I am sure the match and win will go down in the record books as a fair and honest wrestling win.. Wow. Wow.
Joel Nothrup her opponent with a 35 win to 4 loss and big man/boy refused to wrestle her and therefore lost the match. He was taught not to fight and wrestle with girls.
What I want to know is, what is she is doing there, a young women wrestling young men in a high school sport. If the young man wrestled her outside the ring like he was suppose to wrestle her in the ring he would go straight to jail. For sexual abuse and assault and battery. I hope the next guy that wrestles her doesn't care she a woman and kick her butt all around the ring.
Wasn't fair, great job Joel Northrup.

She was there because she had a right to be there. It wasn't that he didn't want to wrestle a girl. He didn't want to wrestle one and lose. :biggrin:

Yeah, like she really won the right. How many of the boys didn't use their best holds on her because they were afraid of hurting her.
Joel was no wimp he's a good man. It's just another case of women sticking their nose in places where they don't belong. What happen to the girl football player? She was rough and tough as any "boy" football player. Until she took her place on the line against a 225 pound man/boy who didn't care she was a woman, just another man going after his job and he hurt her.

Just like I said all mouth, Alligator mouth. I love it here in Podunk Indiana. Do not feel superior don't thump my chest that's is all in your Femanazi mind. Just a old man from a the 1950's when men were men and women were women. Not like the 21St Century women who has had their heads pumped full of shit, and their still not happy. The way you feel must be from your Human Resources training. Where the men working class and the male employees suck. Oh, of course you feel about low class women the same.
Wow :razz: Are you saying that California, the Land of "fruits" and nuts, the shaky side of this country is where all of the world functions are. Bull Shit. Your state is worse off than the country is. I hope your up on you Spanish, SI.
Wow, you're full of yourself. I would love to buy you for what your really worth and sell you for what you think your California ass is worth. Hell, Bill Gates wouldn't have anything on me, as far a money goes.

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large
group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that
we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?"
Without hesitating,the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the
Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't
have to speak German.."

Back in my Hardware days, it was a rule of thumb NOT to fertilize until AFTER you mowed the lawn for the first time....but, that was back in the early 80's and things may have changed.

I just wonder. I at least want to get crabgrass preventer/killer down now. I am already seeing growth of that crap!
I may just put down some new seed since its going to rain again. . .

To me if you grass is green that means it's living and could be feed.
Crab grass you don't want to put the premergent killer on too soon or too late. From what I know Crab Grass germinates when the ground temputure get 55 to 60 degrees 2 to 3 inches below the ground. What you are seeing I would say is not Crab Grass, frost and freezing kills the grass. What a home owner has to do is kill the seeds as they open.
Killing Crab Grass in a mature lawn is a bitch, you can't put anything on it that won't kill the grass. :trustme: Troll the Crab Grass fighter. :biggrin: I have given up on the fight and turned it over to TruGreen and and they have done a good job.
Don't let them sell all of the treatments, they will break you. One thing I don't buy is the grub killer. I don't have any brown spots and I don't want to kill the lighting bugs. :yes:
In my area, (Maryland, SE of Wash., DC) we put down crabgrass preventer at the first hint of Forsythia blossoms.

Yeah, I pretty much figured it out earlier, when I went out and took a good look at what is greening up and emerging. It isn't crabgrass yet. . .
So, once I did that I decided to spread some new seed where the city plow raked off the sod over the winter. ( :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:) I then applied pellets containing startup fertilizer and moisture retention agents, and topped that off with black earth. The idea being with the rains coming it will give the seeds plenty of moisture and hopefully allow them to germinate once the warmth begins. (I planted cool weather species grass so that should do the trick).
Then, I got out the spreader and gave the entire lawn a shot of spring startup fertilizer. I used it early last year too and my lawn was green way before any of my neighbors were. (The ones that are still here that is).
I figure it ought to give me about 2-3 weeks head start, and once I start seeing crabgrass begin to emerge, I'll hit everything but the newly seeded areas with some crabgrass killer.
I hear yah Troll on the TruGreen thing. I've been wanting to give them a shot at getting my lawn under control, and this may very well be the year that I do it. . . I will not have much time to fool around with it this year, except for weekends. I'll turn it over to them except for the back yard, where lil puppy plays. That I will take care of myself. . . :biggrin:

Damn dog thinks he's a duck I swear! You ask him if he wants a bath and he hauls ass up to the head and is in the tub before I can even get upstairs! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
Have to be careful giving him a bath though, because his ears are prone to yeast infections. It's why we have to leash him on the farm and here at home. When he sees a pond, lake, or stream he hauls ass headlong into the water and then we have to start administering antibiotics for the yeast infection that is damned sure coming afterwards. Poor thing. It makes his ears turn to hamburger when we don't catch it in time. . . (Which only happened once).
If I had it to do over again I'd have clipped his ears. That way they'd dry out on their own.

I have the same issue with Benji. He's a water lover too and has the big red floppy ears with lots of nooks and cranies for bacteria to hide in I found this stuff on pet meds, but buy it cheaper on Amazon (about 5 bucks for a small bottle) and I use it everytime he gets in the water and we haven't had one problem since. When I get home, I'll PM you the name of it. I just dry his ears out really well and put a couple drops in each ear and rub.

Cool. I'll give it a try. Max is so bad that the vet prescribes us enough for 5 - 10 day treatments once a year. That way, as soon as we see the signs we can start him on it. Fortunately we are pretty proactive in making sure he doesn't get into situations where he gets his ears wet, but in summer it can be a bit impossible sometimes. He'll even get under the sprinklers if we let him out and they are on! :biggrin:
He's kind of particular about who he lets mess with his ears too. He will not let anyone but my wife and I get at them, and when he's got a yeast infection NOBODY gets near his ears. That time he was so bad I took him to the vet and he downright got nasty about it. I had to muzzle him and put him on his side while holding him at the throat, and then he would let ME expose his ears so the vet could look at them but pitched a fit when the vet tried to do it on his own.
Now we make it a point to look into his ears several times a day, every day. I rub them deep down inside as far as I dare to, and he has got to the point where if he start scratching his ears, I tell him to let me do it and he does. Lately he has taken to coming to me and putting whatever ear he wants scratched onto my hand as a signal for me to do it for him! :biggrin:
About once a month or so I get my fingers coated with a little mineral oil and rub the inside of his ears with it, and he's not too bad with it, so maybe he'll let me put some drops in his ears now too. . . :yes:

I guess I was lucky. I had a German Short Hair Pointer. If we got anywhere near water that was over a foot of 2 deep he was in it. He sure loved water. I never have ear problems with him. Had some cats that got ear mites. Got luck with you're battle. :thumbsup:

My body is already letting me down. I did some back exercises on Sunday and my back has been stiff ever since. The first day, it was in knots, like I slept on baseballs. Now it's a dull pain like you get when you sit in a bad position too long. The difference is that a good stretch usually releaves that, but not this. I've taken more Advil this week than I have in the past two years. Heat helps, while I have the heat on it. I even had to miss my run today, hoping to give it time to reeturn to normal. I'm giving it a couple more days and if it's not better then I'm heading to the Doc.
Some of those back strengthening exercises can do more harm than good, especially the twisting ones.
Yeah, I think that might have been the case w/these. I spent a couple nights w/the heating pad and I'm much better today. I won't be doing that again. ;D
That's the same reason that I hate Denise Austin. ;D Years and years ago, when I was still a spring chicken, I was working out to one of her exercise tapes (despite the fact I find her annoying in general) and threw my neck out. :spooked: OMG! That was the most excruciating pain ever. I couldn't turn my head or even rest comfortably. I ended up getting one of those heating patches that active once the air hits them and after a couple days, the swelling went down and I could move again.
I'm boycotting her perky behind now!

I know what you mean. I can't do any because of a back problem I have even though it would help if I could. I have a deformed vertebra, one side is not all there, and if I try to do the exercises it puts me out. I used to go to an Osteopath and he told me not to do them anymore...LOL He has passed away unfortunately and I go to a Chiropractor since there are no Osteopath's around here. I could have an operation but they don't always work so I just deal with it.
I feel bad for whining now. Wow, that sounds painful. Don't blame you about the surgery. I wouldn't let them touch my back either if the couldn't promise it would fix it. Then again, I'd be afraid that it would get worse.

My cousin did have an operation and, although it helped, she still has problems so I decided against it. She had the same problem just a different vertebra.

But with all of the big, big farmers that have torn out all of the fence rows and the people with wood burning stoves cutting all of the trees down. When a bird or a rabbit crosses one of the 100 to 150 acre fields the have to pack a lunch. :cry:

You got to watch those back twisting exercise. I thought I would strengthen my body core. I tried laying on the floor and tried taking my legs and putting them to the sides of my body as far as I could reach. Right and left.
That night I had a sciatic nerve attack at around 2:30am in the night. I can honestly say I have never had something hurt as bad as that. This lightening bolt shot down from my lower back through my hip down trough my leg to the bottom of my foot. :gha: :gha: :gha: :gha:
For two week I could not, standing raise my left leg off of the floor. I am still getting over it's effects. I asked my doctor about what cause it. He said, "no one knows, but I know I don't want one." I ask how long it would take to heal. He said "It's a nerve and a nerve does what it wants to. I don't know." :love: Good luck.
You've got me beat on that one. I think mine's getting better. I donated that dayum medicine ball to Goodwill. ;D

Sandy, I have a friend who couldn't get anything but dial up for his computer where he lived out in the country. He said that if you have or have a friend that has a Verizon cell phone and get a good single where you live. He said he went to Best Buy and they put a chip in his computer and now he has hi-speed computer and can also talk on this telephone and the price is reasonable. If we can get it here in Indiana, you surely can get on the far left coast. :biggrin:
As far as cable television, I had it once and never again. I love my Direct TV. Because I can get the History channel, the Military channel, MSNBC TV, Link TV plus 36 other channels, plus all of the local channels. I think it runs us around $50 a month. I not sure of the price be cause I don't have my FA (Financial Advisor, wife) here right now. :wink: :smile:
Ask around, talk to Best Buy and talk to Direct TV. Get one of your friends Direct TV customer number and both of you will get a $100. I have had three friends who use my number and I got $300 out of the bargain you can get. :biggrin:
I have Direct TV and AT & T internet, but everytime I see that office I think of PH. :biggrin:
Yeah, we switched to Direct TV as well, but kept the comcrap broadband because it WAS business level service/speed, and paid for by my wife's company. That went away and now I am left with some lethargic "blast" level service for which I pay dearly each month.
We never hooked up the landline telephone to the house when we built it. We didn't, and still don't, see the need to pay every month to have some shills call us trying to sell us trinkets and scam us. . .
Change of internet service is going to require some research, but this summer I am strongly considering putting comcrap in the toilet and pulling the chain. . . :yes: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah, going through my cell phone co is an option for us, but I need to investigates costs verses comcrap, etc. We use our computers a LOT at times, and data amounts are typically the gate for pricing on those kinds of plans. But we'll see.
I know with WiFi (free) spreading and hotspots available publicly, using it while away from home is an easy solution for data use charges; except we don't typically use our computers outside of the home; just in an around it! :biggrin:
A friend of mine has Vonage (sp) and really likes it. Even high speed DSL alone may be cheaper from AT&T than is is from Comcrap

Zoos make me sad. Have I said that before? Probably. I know that they serve a valuable purpose, maybe it's because we need them to begin with. :(

Zoos make me sad. Have I said that before? Probably. I know that they serve a valuable purpose, maybe it's because we need them to begin with. :(
I agree totally!
It's nice to see live examples of nature's variety of wildlife, however the cost in providing them to humanity, to those examples, surrounding quality and quantity of life, is most often unacceptable to me as a member of the food chain and great cycle of life. (This seems to have grown in intensity as I have aged and increased my knowledge base).
While a solid argument can be made surrounding the health, diet, and physical care these examples enjoy while in captivity, the morality of it all falls far short of acceptable personal expectations to me.
I enjoy a good zoological collection as much as anyone, but I always end up asking myself if the wildlife on display are truly achieving ANY level of satisfaction, (whatever that may be based upon the requirements of nature's blueprints). I suppose a large driver of this is due to humanity's proclivity for ascribing human levels of self awareness and reasoning to all that nature presents us with; which is clearly false based upon genetic makeup and evolutionary theory.
But each day we learn more, and realize our previous mis-steps. . .

Not all zoos are good. But the good do a service to the animal and us. Most of the animals have been born in a zoo and that the only life they know.
The experts have said that the Tiger will be extinct in just a few short years in the wild. Same for the leopard, black panther and all of the big cats.
Zoos have prevented some animals from going extinct and have repopulated the wild with these animals. If fact the zoos will be the only place to see these animals, if the zoos are eliminated so will the animals. I don't know of any way out, do you?

It saddens me to say it, but you are indeed correct! If not for the examples humankind has collected and kept, many species may very well become extinct; and the sad part of it all is when we realize what that is saying about humanity and its roughshod treatment of this planet and its environment.

We all know the Republican won't want to pay any taxes to save the environment, clean air, clean water. A lot of them didn't want to save the American Bald Eagle. We did save the Eagle and there are thousands of them. :biggrin:

Kinda ironic, huh? Considering that it's the national bird.
Talk about a gorgous bird! Wow, I really think they're awe inspiring. My next favorite is the hawk.

I know! I was amazed to see it already. . . And he is one determined little rascal to say the least. He gets "tone lock" on something and he goes after it head long. I've never seen a kid crawl so fast though. . . seriously! He is a little buzz saw when he crawls, so I can only imagine what he's going to be like once he gets some skills going surrounding walking. . . :biggrin:

What is it saying when this state's farmers are also your coworkers in an industry that has NOTHING to do with farming? (And when I say "farmer", I mean those who actually farm well over 25 acre plots).

Well, I know an old widow who has 200 acres of good black corn and bean ground. One hell of a good Republican and "GOOD Christian Lady" She hasn't farmed in 20 years. She hires it done.
And she hasn't passed up one government farming where they pay her any money. She sure liked George W. :biggrin:

There is a VERY large percentage of farmers that work where I do, and most of them, (if not all), are farming acreage near what you refer to here. Why are they working off the farm then?
Because they cannot afford healthcare!!!!!!

The way I feel about farm aid if a farmer is a small farmer and working the land, he might be given aid if he proves it.
We have one hog farmer just North of here, farms around 1200 acres and I don't know how many hogs. It sure smells like a lot. He has receive over a $1 Million in farm aid. The poor guy. How much do you think the corporate and bank ownd farms are making off the government?

I take he made you privy to his books for some reason and you've seen with your own eye's how much he's getting and this isn't just someone telling you he's receiving that much. Or did you see the actual checks he received?

Oh, Sweety Chunk, there you go mistrusting the old Troll. All you have to do is be smart. Go to the internet and receive the information.
Http://farm.ewg.org Click on National Data. To the left side of the screen go all the way bottom to search and click that link.
When you get to page, put in the zip code or state that you want the info for, you will see all of the farmers around you and what they have received in government farm aid. It's easy and you don't have to privy to his books or see his checks. The government will tell you. Baby Cakes.
We have a very rich farm family that are in our zip code. The widow of this farmer and the son farm her farm received for herself got $348,555.12 for her farm. The deceased husband got $336,928.77 for his farm and the son who inherited his grandfather's farm who started the whole thing, has received $848,487.26
All of this government money $1,533,971.10, was received between 1995 and 2009. Good money for doing nothing. Isn't it great to pay taxes so these people get to take trips to the Holy Land and Europe. Don't it feel great? :biggrin:

My cousin's son died from an overdose yesterday. I feel so bad for her.
And I can see why you feel bad for her, just thank you lucky stars that it wasn't your family. In watching Dr. Phil these family really suffer when this happens. Bad illegal drugs and depression take a lot of young people. Really nothing a person can do but watch their kids lives go down the drain with drugs. Depression can be worked with it if you can catch it soon enough.
With my dads family we didn't have that kind of bad luck. For me it was and might I add "ONCE" was alcohol, and tobacco. With my sisters who did neither, it was bad and lazy men. One was married twice and the other married three times. The boy in the family who drove fast, chased women, drank and smoked. Well, he's been married "ONCE" for 48 years. Go to prove even a blind squirrel can find a nut under an oak tree. :biggrin: :biggrin: Be happy Anne. :smile:
Thank you. He had a long history of alchol and drug abuse so it wasn't surprising that it happened but still a shock. He was 37. My cousin lost her other son in an auto accident about 12 years ago. It wasn't his fault, someone crossed the center line and hit him. She only has one child left now.
It's always hard to lose someone, especially when it was preventable (by the individual). My condolences.
Thank you, Sandy. He was really a smart kid before he got into the alchol and drugs. Such a waste.
Has anyone seen the Walmart commercial where the dad buys the camping supplies and boat horn? He's trying to wake the boys up and hits the horn and the tent jumps straight in the air. ;D
Fan of Walmart or not, that's a funny commercial and idea for my next camping trip. :biggrin: :icon_twisted:
That is one of the funnies commericals I have seen for awhile. The other Walmart one where the dad buys, Pam. butter, crisco and a saw is funny too. Reminds me of when my 2 year old stuck his head through the spindles of the bannister!

Well, its still drizzling out. . . I may have to mow in the rain cause its supposed to REALLY rain the rest of the week here, and if I let it go much longer tigers will be taking up residence in my yard!
I've pretty much given up on finding one of those drum aerators to pull behind the tractor. Cannot find them anywhere around here. . . SOOOOOOOO, Tractor Supply sells a set of spikes that go onto the rear tires, (like snow chains), and I am thinking I may have to spring for a set of those things instead.
Chemical warfare on the weeds is NOT working, and the dandelions are taking over. It is time to get serious and I have two choices; get the spikes and a pull behind spreader to seed the heck out of the lawn and choke them out with grass, or pay some blasted professional company to come out a spray chemicals onto my lawn every danged month. . . Right now, I am leaning toward the former. . .
The spikes cost $189 bucks plus shipping, (can only get them on line), and they've been endorsed and featured by Popular Mechanics and some other associations. Spreader will cost about a hundred, and seeding will probably cost me about another hundred or so for the season. (Plus fertilizer). So in round numbers about 500 bucks to do it myself. (Plus my time).
The chemical guys will probably end up costing me more than that over the season. . .
I miss John Lennon. . . :'(

Now you could go out and dig up the dandelions and eat the greens and the flowers too. The greens are excellent if ya fix them right and the flowers aren't bad either.

You know, I never told my children that. I did tell them that I'd prefer that they not do it before school or going somewhere, but I figure the only time that someone can enjoy a good mud puddle is when they're young. When you get older, they look at you like you're crazy! Not that I would know. ;D
My grandson (5 y.o.) was at our house for Easter dinner on Saturday (His mother had to work Easter Sunday, so my wife had dinner for our family on Saturday.)
A large 3-4" deep puddle had formed in our back yard due to all the rain we've had lately. The day was warm (got up to 72 degrees) and one thing led to another.
Since the puddle was about 10' long and 5' wide, there was plenty of room for all who had the notion.
Later, we were all searching for clothes that came within screaming distance of fitting us while our duds were being washed and dried.
We were also looking at some of the video of all of us making idiots of ourselves running and diving into this huge puddle.
I'm sure this will be archived and brought out at strategic moments in conversations in years to come.
I certainly enjoyed it. ;D

I've never understood the hype about mud. That's what they make soap for. ;D
Last summer, we had a cookout and a friend brought his 4 wheeler. He took my daughter, lil' miss fancy pants who can't go outside w/out make-up and hair gel, for a ride. When they came back, the looked like a moving mudslide. I was welling up, unsure of how she was going to react, so I wasn't sure how to act myself. He caught my hesitation and said, she asked for it mama. ;D I was SO proud! :biggrin: Just the fact that she let herself go and enjoyed the moment. Apparently she insisted they go through the deepest puddle. So, out came the hose, to wash everything and those two off and a puddle was created in a dip in the yard. Another friend's little boy, 3ish, found it and ran straight up and did a butt flop/cannon ball. He got everyone around him and came up looking like swamp thing giggling his butt off.
A good time was had by all. :biggrin:

Won't eat weeds? For many many years people wouldn't eat tomatoes because they thought they were poison. Since they are a member of the Nightshade plants which are poison. Dandelions aren't to bad, but not the worth the work.
But don't knock Jowl Bacon until you try it. Great in fresh green beans, kale, Swiss chard and spinach all greens and great in with beans. Cut it thick, fry in crisp and eat it with tomato and mayo. :drool2:

Must have been holding my mouth right or something today. . . Got 3 windows out and the replacements in and did NOT have to build up or anything! :spooked: Things went in like they were made for the openings! :spooked:
Wow, that was amazing. How many times would that happen in an older house or even a newer one for that matter? You must have been really holding your mouth right for that to happen.

Now THAT is unusual.
Once in a blue moon one might fit that way, but to have 3 fit perfectly is a full-blown miracle.

Especially old plumbing. :rant:
And uneven floors.
:trustme: on this. When you get an old house, you throw away your level, your square and your hammer and nails. You buy yourself to battery powered drill drivers. One to drill the holes and one to drive the dry wall screws and a plumb bob. :wink: :smile:

You chalk your plumb bob line for vertical lines. That's good for the first line for wall paper or paneling. Chalk lines and a little string level works for horizontal lines. :wink: I see that you've been an old house too. :smile:

More than you know. We finally came to the conclusion that the person who built the house we lived in had a level that was off since it seemed everything was off but looked square. Some of the windows were 3/4 of an inch off, the bathroom cabinet sat level but we found out when we took it out to do the walls it had been cut off on the side next to the tub almost an inch to set level but the bathroom floor showed no signs of being off. It was funny when we carried it to the other room and sat it down and it leaned drastically. We were like "what the heck is this?" Then he measured each corner of the wall the tub sat on for the tub surround and did the chalk line, cut the panel and it didn't fit :confused: :confused: So he checked again figuring he measured wrong, cut another piece and it didn't fit :mad: Well he went to the middle where the problem seemed to be and sure enough it was a shorter distance in the middle that it was in each corner to the tub rim but the ceiling didn't look off. When we rehung the wall cabinet it had to be hung off kilter to look straight 'cause if you leveled it properly it looked tilted.... :confused: :confused: We had siding put on, it was a block house, and the guy's that did that had a heck of a time too but it came out ok in the end. The plumbing was another exercise in terror but I won't go in to that.
I know I when though the same thing. But I got it fixed, good enough for me and I wouldn't trade it for one of these look the same, white pine, tooth pick new ones with their high taxes. I think the $397 in property taxes on it are just fine. It not for sale or trade. Welllllll maybe if the price was high enough. :wink: :smile:

When you're young it's kind of fun and a learning experience but as you get older it's a pain in the rear. Of course the experience teaches you to look for that kind of stuff and how to get around it. :wink:

John Lennon (RIP) is rumored to have been starkly afraid of, and against, cremation in physical life; yet his widow (Yoko) chose to have him cremated.
It is also rumored that as his body being physically loaded into the firebox, his corpse broke out in a "Joker-esque" maniacal grin as it was being slid toward the fire.
What's that saying? :spooked:

Salmonie Lake won't be to good for fishing. 20 feet over pool stage and full of logs and brush. The water is muddy and if you catch a fish it will have to find it with it's white cane with the red tip. Because they won't be able to see it of smell it. Not much boating or fishing with this high water. :music1: Ain't going fishining :music1: This weekend :music1: :fish: :titanic:

That should bring back old memeorys of the days when the cars didn't have A/C. Going down the highway 60 miles an hour with them down on a hot day and the wind noise so bad you couldn't hear the radio.
But there is one thing I still miss is the little vent window on the door windows. It would sure be nice of a nice day to drive with the windows down, put out the little wing vents and not have all of that wind coming in. :bike: :biggrin:

Oh yes. I remember one vacation with my dad and mother. We were in his new 1949 Ford. We were Texas and it was a 100 degrees. We had all of the windows down and doing 60. Yes 4 down and 60 and we still burnt up. :yes: :wink:

Sorry that I haven't been around much lately. School's out so that means "slow down" right? Not for us. Softball camp this week, lacrosse next, then field hockey takes us up to the end of July when soccer camp starts. There's a cheerleading camp after that and then starts cheer conditioning and tryouts. This is ALL stuff she has asked to do, so I support her, but it takes a toll. I get up and leave the house early, go to work and head straight to where she is. I generally run while she's finishing up. Add to that rehearsals for a play that she and I are in and some fun in the sun...I'm already pooped. ;D

I hope you realize there is such a thing as TOO MUCH! There is such a thing as over stress, burn out. Remember when you were a small girl. There was not all of these useless activies and I do mean useless. Slow down, if your girl would admit the truth to you, she would say, Mom, give me a break. I want to be just a regular girl. :yes: Just ask her if she would like to take a break from some of the activities. :wink: I think you might be surprised. :smile:
You don't get it. She came to me with this schedule. I suggested that it might be too much for her and maybe she might want to spend some time relaxing. She insists this is how she wants to spend her summer. Seriously, do you think I would have done this to myself by pushing her into too many activities? ;D She doesn't drive so whatever she does, I have to be there. She's fairly determined (don't know where she gets that from) and the worst that can happen is that she finds out for herself what her limits are. She'll be active and out of the house. I've even put some of our volunteer stuff on hold (which we both like) to accomodate the schedule she planned.

Well, we didn't have that problem with our boy, we lived just two blocks from the high school and his grandmother seen that he had a car a the age of sixteen.
But, my brother-in-law had more problems with six kid. He and his wives couldn't handle all of the activities and he didn't have the money to get each one of them a car.
It was after high school for him. They wanted money, money, money there was no end of it. He was complaining about it to me one day. I told him what his problem was. He just couldn't say NO.
After I woke him up to how they were using him. Guess what, he started saying NO. Now he is not broke and happy. The kids were bleeding him dry.

I remember as a kid, one of my uncles owned a Purple Martin gas station. I've been curious about them ever since, but never actually saw one up close until last summer when I was mowing and a pair of them began escorting me. They did it almost every mowing last year.
Today was the first time I saw them this year, and it was 2 females. I'm actually considering putting up a house for them! :yes:

I'm hearing they don't actually eat skeeters, but rather any flying insect. Then again, I also read where they rarely come close to humans, and these that I had last year and today, were flying right up to me on the tractor, and doing their dives and flybys right in front of me and along side of me. They are indeed purple martins, since the photographs I've seen of them are exactly the same birds.
They have to be nesting somewhere near here on the south end of town. I'm seriously considering putting up a house for them, in the hope they'll move in and bring their friends next year! :yes: :yes:
I know one thing, they always put a smile on my face. They are amazing birds and VERY agile and swift. They make dives and turns that would make a fighter pilot envious! :yes:

One of the past owners of our campground had a huge round Martin house about 20 ft off the ground. It was loaded with Purple Martins and they flew all over the camp ground in the late evening 2 to 6 feet off the ground and they sure looked like they eat mosquitoes to me
He told me that he had to take it down each fall after they left for the South and clean each nest out. He also blocked each hole until a certain day in the spring so the sparrows would take up housing.
He said that each year the Martins had scouts sent up looking for places to stay. I don't what it is now, but he had a date when he took out the plugs. He said the Martins don't like sparrows or dirty bird houses.
He must have been doing something right, because he had every room in his hotel full. :smile: I don't know where they live now because the house is gone. But we still have a lot of martins around and they set up on the power line and wait for the bugs to start flying in the late evening.

Then there's the other side of the coin where someone who could do a job perfectly well but who happens to lack a "formal" education is turned down. In some instances they may even be better qualified than the person who was formally educated and that really sucks.

I am SO shocked that this didn't catch PH's attention.

It did. I just couldn't see it from where I was. . . I have now. . . :'( :'( :'( :'(
I immediately thought of you because of your connection with your dog. It also reminds me of the sweet black lab that lives next door. I found out a month or so ago that her master died a uear ago or so. It came up in conversation when I mentioned that I like to take Benji to the water. She said that her son used to take Liz every Sat moring The don't take her anymore, but she waits by the door every Sat. I offered to take her when I take Benji. She was polite, but I don't think they'll ever take me up on it.
Isn't it amazing how these animals just know so much more than we often give them credit for. When my Mom passed, we had a dog, named Sammy, who was a part german sheperd and part collie, he was just a fantastic dog, who amazed us on many levels with his demeanor and intelligence. But, when I came home from the hospital, Sammy KNEW something was up and went into the house and layed by her chair. He kept on licking my had (something he never did) and followed me around for days, like he was worried about me. I know that he knew she was no longer with us and his heart was breaking and he knew mine was.
This was a cool story Sandy, thanks for passing it on. 8)
Everytime I read stuff like this, Benji gets treated just a lil' extra special lol For example, today I took him for an extremely long hike and a swim. I even got in and wrestled with him which I never do. I mean wrestle, not get in the river. lol He had a blast. When we got home, I gave him a can of his favorite "junk" dog food and now he's snoozing peacefully with his head sharing my lap w/the laptop.
Just because they don't speak our language doesn't mean they don't understand.
I currently do not have a dog, but I think I am going to be on the market come this next summer when school lets out. I want my kids to be there during the day to work with him/her. My wife is set on getting a goldendoodle or a labrodoodle, because of their non-shedding issues....When I see pics of ex's dog, my heart leans that direction....there is something bout a german sheperd that is appealing to me. We had a Golden Retriever in the past and I loved that dog, he was good. My wife wants an indoor dog that doesn't shed.
Any suggestions or stories about the "doodle" dogs?
Not from me lol I really don't have any experience with them, but I'd be careful re: temperament. I Haven't researched it, but something makes me think that poodles (standard and miniature) are not tolerent. Although the Lab portion would probably mellow that out some. I've had a lab and retriever and the retriever sheds less than she ever did. I have to say that I'm a big dog fan and I'm very partial to the retrievers. Lab, Golden, Chesapeake...In fact, my next dog will be a chesie.
I love cocker spaniels, but they take a lot of time grooming and shed quite a bit. They are very tolerant of kids and other animals, at least the ones we had were. The doodles are cute and I only know one person with one and they say it is very friendly.

Had a part cocker one time, same kind of hair. He got in to a whole lot of cockle burrs, it took days for us to get out all of them. Had a German short hair pointer. Smart, kind to the cat, just loved him, he loved the boy and us and he got hit by a car and died. We still miss him. :cry:
We just finished having a fantastic party at our home celebrating my oldest son graduating from Ball State. He finished with achieving the Dean's list. He is in his fifth year of the National Gaurd and is conteplating volunteering to go active in the Middle East. His fiance has one more year of post grad school, so he would like to do this. I have other wishes, but I respect him to make his own decisions and I am extremly proud of him. 1 down and 4 to go.
Congratulations to your son and your family for his graduation, Henry. It takes a lot to get a kid through college any more. Hope he has a long and prosperous life.

to be honest I can't say for sure, but that is what she calls it. She has to take an extra year of school to recieve a special diploma. She is a great kid and very smart, she is going to be a chemistry teacher.
Thanks guys, as I am sure you guys already know, but it makes being a parent worth everything in the world when you witness your own turning into a fantastic adult.

(Btw, what is "post grad school"?)
Post graduate school is generally used in this country to refer to an advanced degree of learning, IE Masters or Doctorate degree programs.
The hundreds, of advanced degree holders that I have come in contact with in my line of endeavor have NEVER referred to grad school as "post grad school" except for doctoral work.
I asked many in the last few days, and they had never heard grad school referred to as "post grad school," always "grad school" (which is what I and all my colleagues called it back in the day).
Even when doing postdoc work (internships), we never referred to it as "post grad" unless it was beyond a master's degree.
I believe it may be a local dialect thing to tell you the truth. Most people in the midwest refer to it as you posted above, but there are some regions of this country where it is referred to as Hank listed it.
To be honest about it, I never even paid it much attention until you posted the inquiry. :D
hihger edukation is ridiculouse. i doo juste finne. hoo neds it enieways?
ok, i heard this the other day: citizen A goes to work every day in your state. citizen A pays taxes to the state that pay the salary of state employees. state employees pay union dues. unions support democrats, therefore states want to hire more employees.
along the same line of thinking: citizen A goes to Taco Bell for lunch every day. Taco Bell pays taxes to the state that pays the salary of state employees. state employees pay union dues. unions support democrats, therefore states want to hire more employees. So dont eat at Taco Bell unless you are a democrat. Or hungry.
just throwin it out there.... ;D

Republicans eat steak and sea food they don't eat tacos so what's the problem. But Sweet Heart the states are destroying the unions so the state employees don't have to pay union dues. Just ask Mitch the governor of the State of Indiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Just throwin that out :biggrin: All all you have to do is watch the news. :grin2:

No, I can respect your opinion on Unions..(not that you are correct, but I respect them)...but when you say stupid sh!t like Republicans eat steak and sea food they don't eat tacos ... or Republicans hate old people...that kind of stupid sh!t...that puts you in the mold of millions and millions of spoon fed democrats who are the results of propaganda and "scare tactics" to win elections...

I know you have ate steak and sea food and maybe you eat tacos. But the present Republicans in office and governors from Texas hate old people, black people and poor people.
With all the code words and actions they do everyday. Any fool can see it even me. "Why Social Social Security is a Poncy scheme". Plus no emergency aid unless there is budget cuts and I want to tax everyone 9% on what they buy. A blind man can feel all of the meanest coming from the Tea/Republican Party. :trustme:

That's a familiar routine in Socal. I've always wondered why home owners don't turn on sprinklers and just leave them on completely saturating the ground which might reroute the fire? Or does it burn so hot that it isn't possible to saturate it enough to make it effective?
oh wow, i sure hope they dont lose their house. fires are scary!
i dunno, bondo can be fun. cleanup is tough tho.

Just think Sandy that the houses are just as dry as the trees. Made of wood, mostly soft pine. Shake shingle and asphalt roofs and plastic siding all things that burn quite readily.
There was a man out there in California that lived on top of a wooded ridge. He built his house of concrete, metal roof and metal shutter over his windows. He disked his land up around his home and the government was after him for destroying the habitat for some kind of ground mouse.
Well the fire came and the only house on the ridge of many houses that didn't burn was his. I never heard what the government did about the mouse. But their habitat burned up to.
Boo :sling:

This was not a good day to decide to make noodles :no: .....it's taking them forever to dry so I can get them cut.

Hey stranger where the heck have you been?
We went to VA to visit our daughter and her family. We were able to see both boys play baseball, go on a night tour of DC and spend time with our granddaughter. It was a good visit. They don't have good internet connections. They can't get cable and don't have a land line so they use the Verizon hot spot and it is timed. I didn't want to use up their minutes.
DC is beautiful at night, the part we seen anyway which was around the White House and that area. I was there several years ago when we took a little extra time on our way to visit my daughter an SIL when they were in Norfolk. Always wanted to go back during the daytime and take some tours but never got to even though we went to Norfolk several times after that. Glad you had a good time.

I have a friend who has trouble with her knees too, they swell up like a large grapefruit, and she is usuallly down for a couple of days if we do too much. With me it's my darn hips...golden years heck....they may be golden but they sure come with a lot of things, like pain, to slow ya down.

*Wheldon.
I am pretty amazed at the reaction locally to the passing of Dan Wheldon, and am happy I live in the racing capital of the nation, and a staunch Indycar state instead of a hockey state.
Seeing the impromptu memorial to Wheldon today, as well as the IMS decision to erect a banner of Wheldon above it, and even going so far as to erect tents for fans who chose to visit the memorial, so that they could get out of the rain, was more than a bit heart wrenching.
It brought tears to my eyes, and while most would say it speaks to the man that Wheldon was, (and I agree), it also, to me, speaks volumes about the fans here in Indiana.
I saw memorials from all over the state, cards, letters, candles, flowers. . . And even ticket stubs from the Vegas Race that claimed his life, as well as stubs for the race that featured his picture on them. Stuffed animals, etc. were everywhere. And to see a dry eye was a rarity.
Somewhere Mr Wheldon is flashing that smile of his, and hoping all of that support and well wishes can somehow reach his wife and two children; and somehow sustain them through this terrible time. :'(
I would bet that come next May, Mr Wheldon will be on the minds and in the hearts of every single IndyCar fan across the world. And Dan will smile again. . .

If anyone knows of someone having difficulty paying their Vectren bill, I heard at my volunteer job on Friday that Vectren has a "fall shutoff program" which is supposed to help people who have had their gas disconnected or about to be disconnected so they can keep their gas on through the winter. You can call Vectren or get more information at Energy Assistance. Also, free hot meals at the Christian Center (breakfast, lunch, dinner) seven days a week, free lunch on Wednesdays at Central Christian Church (12:45 pm)(this may include a religious service of some kind but I am not sure), free dinner every Sunday at First United Methodist Church at 4:30 pm (Usually also get a bag of groceries, too.) Food Pantries: Friends Church on Central Way (Mondays), Park Place Church of God, Salvation Army, Operation Love. There are more but I don't have my list at home with me. People can also dial 211 to get more information about where to go for help with food, housing, etc.
Up date on my neice: she is home from the hospital and doing much better. She was in the hospital for 5 days with a temp of 105. They ran multiple tests and the only thing they found was a "mild" sinus infection. They don't know why her blood work was so bad. They sent her home on heavy dute antibiotics for 21 days and are running more tests. Thanks for all your good thoughts.

a MILD sinus infection? :spooked:
I am glad to hear she is doing much better... :yes:
Thank you. That is what puzzling the doctors, she should not have been that sick with a mild sinus infection. She goes to a lot of doctors because of her other problems (she has Sotos Syndrome) so I am sure they have really good specialists this time too. Hope they find out what went wrong.
where do people get those insane facebook status ideas? kinda reads like a cybil diary.
hey did you know that the whole cybil thing was a hoax? someone told me that. kinda sucks, cause i use that a lot....
Adam Richman from Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel is in Indy. I'm watching right now. Presently, he's at Gray Brothers Cafeteria in Mooresville, and later, he's going to try The Big Ugly Burger Challenge (which consists of eating 4 1-lb.

Yes, a bus. I arrived home safely and without incident. This was really a surprise to me since I have never driven a bus before

now that was funny.......didn't see that one coming... ;D

Adam Richman from Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel is in Indy. I'm watching right now. Presently, he's at Gray Brothers Cafeteria in Mooresville, and later, he's going to try The Big Ugly Burger Challenge (which consists of eating 4 1-lb. Big Ugly Burgers) at Bub's Burgers and Ice Cream in Carmel. ;D
Any of you Indiana people ever eat at either of these locations?
Been to Bub's, but jus had the ice cream, not a big burger fan. I haven[t been to Gray Brothers, but my friend tells me it is fantastic.

Yup! And I just may break out the telescope to take a gander at that there rock if its still around when I get home Tuesday!
And here, all these years, I thought asteroids were a personal problem, spoken of only to one's physician.

just a reminder....
An asteroid the size of the U.S.S. Nimitz is bearing down on Earth. NASA's Near-Earth Object Program says the impact of the rock, dubbed 2005 YU55, would equal a 4,000-megaton blast and create 70-foot high tsunami waves, CBS News reports.
That's near 200,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Fortunately for us, NASA predicts the murderous cosmic body will miss our planet by about 202,000 miles, passing around 6:28 p.m. on Tuesday. That's about 0.85 times the distance to the moon, NASA says. The last time an asteroid this size came this close to Earth was in 1976, and it shouldn't happen again until 2028 -- provided we're still here.
The Duggars are pregnant again. Nutjobs. ;D
Sandy, does that really bother you? I think they are pushing their luck and can't imagine why anyone would actually want to have that many kids and how can you possibly give them the attention they need, but they aren't on welfare, none of the kids are into drugs (that we know of), they seem to live in the country and are home schooled so aren't a drain on the taxpayers. Oh, I hate the cutesy matching name thingy they have going on.

Did I tell you all i got married? I did! And yes, he is a wonderful, patient, loving fellow and he gets my goofy sense of humor, and he puts up with my dizzy way of thinking.

That's great Anne.
Thanks, the ladies do a lot of hard work fund raising to get that money.
Congratulations Anne. I'm glad that part of the proceeds went to pancreatic cancer research. That one has struck close to home for me in the past. Very nasty type of cancer that kills quickly.

I read some where the cops stopped over 300 cars during one of the so called sobriety checks. They only arrested 3 people driving under the influence and the rest were expired drivers licence, no proof of insurance and car defects like. lights out.
Just one more way to prove to us that we are living in a police state. :yes: :police:
Another thought, say we stop all the cars of 109 By-pass and give tickets for all violaatios. I wonder how much money they, the city and country would make.
But, then again, how many people would shop on 109 or even in Anderson. We can't use the cops as revenue collectors. But, that's what they are doing. It has to :stop: :police:

Well Horse. you were right. Went to Indianapolis yesterday. Between the 14 mile marker on Interstate 69 down to interstate 70 there were 6 cops and all had people pulled over. One cop had 4 cars pulled over. I'll bet he pulled his quota.
Even Fishers has two cars out stopping cars on Interstate 69. The bears were sure hungry. :rant: What in hell is Fishers doing out on the Interstate. :angry:

'MythBusters' cannonball goes through nearby houseBy NBC News and msnbc.com staffDUBLIN, Calif. -- A "MythBusters" experiment went awry Tuesday, sending a cannonball blasting through a home, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff's spokesman J.D. Nelson told NBCBayArea.com that (http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Mythbusters-May-Have-Accidentally-Shot-House-135138678.html) a projectile from an Alameda County firing range in Dublin missed its intended target and hit a home near Tassajara Road and Somerset Lane -- going through one wall and exiting through another.
More on this story from NBCBayArea.com
(http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Mythbusters-May-Have-Accidentally-Shot-House-135138678.html)
The Sheriff's Office said it was a cannonball fired by a "MythBusters" crew that "took a few unfortunate bounces." It was not known what the experiment entailed.
The zany team on the Discovery Channel TV series attempts to verify or debunk urban legends, popularly held beliefs and movie scenes by conducting experiments — repeatedly warning young viewers not to try them at home or without a parent.
"MythBusters" has examined whether a collision with a bug can kill a biker (debunked), whether it is possible to shoot the hat off a person's head without harming the wearer (debunked) and whether drafting behind a big-rig truck can improve a car's fuel efficiency (confirmed).
The MythBusters' Twitter account retweeted a post from one of the show's cast, Grant Imahara, stating the team was to be working with artillery. That post (along with the photo) (http://media.nbcbayarea.com/images/mythbustersboom.jpg) has since been removed.
No one was injured. Authorities were still investigating the incident. It was unclear where the cannonball came to rest.

Upper 40 degree weather, but some long underwear, leather chaps, and insulated gloves took the sting out.

An old Chicago cure I used to endorse is a nice warm cup of Rock n Rye. Just buy a bottle of it at the liquor store, pour it into a pan and heat enough to warm it. (It used to come with a big slice of lemon in the bottle). It'll get yah sailing enough to go to sleep and more often than not it will make you feel better in the morning. (Save the Patron for when your taste buds come back!) :yes:

Angry Birds is addicting!
Our 5 year old grandson beat the game while he was here this weekend. Show off!
Our grandsons were talking to my wife about that game but I haven't had a chance to check it out to see if it's appropriate and then set the internet settings so they can play it.
Damfast, I take it since your grandson is playing it that it's child appropriate?
Dude! Angry Birds rules. You sling shot cardinals crows, blue birds, yellow birds into the pig hovels to destroy them.

You have to have an iOS device from Apple to play it. iPhone, iPad. . .iPod Touch too I believe.
You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands. For instance, if they are placed around your neck she probably slightly upset.
... or, if she is using them to caress you, you can been sure she is really smitten -- unless -- you are very, very rich. :biggrin:

Our grandsons were talking to my wife about that game but I haven't had a chance to check it out to see if it's appropriate and then set the internet settings so they can play it.
Damfast, I take it since your grandson is playing it that it's child appropriate?
yes, very. you use a slingshot to knock down buildings that crush little critters. actually, he was very very good at figuring out which beam or roof section to hit that caused a collapse. He would aim at that section. if he missed, he would adjust the next missle higher/lower, better arc, whatever he needed to hit a supporting section. maybe he will follow grandma's footsteps in the engineering world!

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
Frank Zappa
old guy, 89 years old goes fishin
hears a voice, "hellllloooo", "helllooo-ooo"
looks around, sees nuthin
voice again, "hey, helllllooooo"
old guy looks down, and behold the fairy tale frog!
old guy says "that you talkin to me?"
frog: "yes yess" "if you pick me up and kiss me, i will turn into a beautiful princess, bear you many children and care for your castle (must come with the princess thing)
old guy, picks up the fairy tale frog, and carefully puts him in his shirt pocket.
frog says, "nononononono, you have to kiss me!"
old guy says, "old as i am, i would rather have a talkin frog"
you may roll your eyes and grin at me now.....
compliments of my dear old dad...
the end
Speakin' of old guys, this came in my e-mail today:
Young whipper snappers ought not mess with an old fart.
An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading a tired old mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.
As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. He looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, can you dance?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No son, I don't dance... never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now!" and started shooting at the old man's feet.
The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody standing around was laughing.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.
The silence was deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin 12 gauge barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said;
"Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir ... but ... I've always wanted to"
~~
There are a few lessons for all of us here:
* Don't be arrogant.
* Don't waste ammunition.
* Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
* Always make sure you know who is in control.
* And finally, Don't screw around with old folks; they didn't get old by being stupid.
You like old time cowboy jokes, here's one.
One one very cold, windy, snowy day a lone ride up his horse in front of the of the Saloon. He got off his horse, walk to it's rear and stuck his finger in it's butt and rub his finger on his lips.
One of the cowboys standing on the front porch asked, why are you rubbing horse poop on your lips. The cowboy answered I got chapped lips. The next question was, I didn't know that horse poop was good for chapped lips.
The lone rider said, it isn't, but it keeps me from licking my lips. Moral of this story is, a man has to do what he does when he has chapped lips. :haha:
That was so silly I laughed. And after today, when I definitely have not had much if anything to laugh about, thanks .... :yes:
TOP TEN REASONS TO GO TO WORK NAKED...
1. Your boss is always yelling, "I wanna see your ass in here by 8:00!"
2. Can take advantage of computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.
3. "I'd love to chip in, but I left my wallet in my pants."
4. To stop those creepy guys in Marketing from looking down your blouse.
5. You want to see if it's like the dream.
6. So that with a little help from Muzak you can add "Exotic Dancer" to your exaggerated resume.
7. People stop stealing your pens after they've seen where you keep them.
8. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.
9. Gives "bad hair day" a whole new meaning.
10. No one steals your chair.

8. What do you mean today's our anniversary?
7. Can we not talk to each other tonight? I'd rather just watch TV.
6. Ohh, this diamond is way to big!
5. Can our relationship get a little more physical? I'm tired of being 'just friends'
4. Honey, does this outfit make my butt look too small?
3. Aww, don't stop for directions, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get there.
2. I don't care if it's on sale, 300 dollars is way to much for a designer dress.

That is beautiful. Fog on the mountain makes me think of home. Sometimes when I just need to see a mountain, I get in my car and head straight west -- takes about half an hour, depending on traffic, to get to where I can see one in the distance.

I am sure glad the pendulum is swinging to the far radical right for the Republican and Tea Party. It shows their true color and their hatred for women and their right to their own business. :rant:

The oddest thing happened to my granddaughter this afternoon. She lives in VA and was at a gas station buying gas. She went inside to pay and a busload of soldiers pulled into the station and they all got out and came inside. One of them was standing next to her and said "Oh my God you are Cory's sister!" My granddaughter didn't recognize him but when he told her who he was she remembered him. He had not seen her since Cory died and she was ten. She is 18 1/2 now and I think he is probably 23 or 24.
Wow! That's amazing! Love connection?? ;D

A drummer, sick of all the drummer jokes, decides to change his instrument. After some thought, he decides on the accordion. So he goes to the music store and says to the owner, "I'd like to look at the accordions, please."
The owner gestures to a shelf in the corner and says "All our accordions are over there."
After browsing, the drummer says, "I think I'd like the big red one in the corner."
The store owner looks at him and says, "You're a drummer, aren't you?"
The drummer, crestfallen, says, "How did you know?"
The store owner says, "That `big red accordion' is the radiator."

It was just released a couple days ago. They are kept for 72 years before being released to the public. There was an article in the paper the ACLU was concerned/objecting because of privacy rights of people who are still live that are listed in the 1940 census. It is a wonderful source of information for geneaology research. It has occupations, money earned in 1939, members of household and their relationship to the head of the house, whether or not they owned a radio, where their parents were born, age when they werre married, current address, amount of education, if they were a veteran and a few other things. It isn't name searchable yet so it is time consuming to find a particular person. I got on Ancestry last night and did a little looking.

Being born in 1937 I was 3 years old when that census living in Celina Ohio and my dad worked at Heinz pickle plant making less than $10 a week. He died three years ago at 91. :yes: :smile:
So are you afraid someone will use your info to steal your identity or something? I don't think I would be. You can find out what your dad made in 1939, who your neighbors were, if your dad had a ss card, lots of neat things. When it becomes name searchable you can look for your great uncle simon who moved away and lost contact with your family. It really is very interesting.

10. Claims those long-distance calls to the Death Star aren't his.
9. Uses Jedi powers to shake up your root beer right before you open it.
8. He's always accusing you of hiding his asthma inhaler.
7. Claims he paid you the rent "a long, long time ago."
6. Dances around in nothing but cape and cowboy hat while doing "Darth Brooks" routine.
5. For once he could use Force to lift his wet towel off the couch.
4. That scary music that plays when he enters a room gets old real fast.
3. You feel like an idiot saying, "No, Darth isn't here. He's on the ice planet Hoth."
2. Not easy cleaning burnt Ewok fur off the barbecue grill.
1. Constantly doing his lame James Earl Jones impression.

Mmmmmmm ...... Ribeye ......
Went to Longhorn Sunday night. One of my favorite places. Had an 22 oz. Outlaw Ribeye with a baked sweet potato.
They really know how to cook a steak right. And no taste of marinade that overpowers the real taste of meat like they do at Outback.

Beyond the Bass Clef: The Life and Art of Bass Playing (attributed to Tony Levin)
In the beginning there was a bass. It was a Fender, probably a Precision, but it could have been a Jazz - nobody knows. Anyway, it was very old... definitely pre-C.B.S.
And God looked down upon it and saw that it was good. He saw that it was very good in fact, and couldn't be improved on at all (though men would later try.) And so He let it be and He created a man to play the bass.
And lo the man looked upon the bass, which was a beautiful 'sunburst' red, and he loved it. He played upon the open E string and the note rang through the earth and reverberated throughout the firmaments (thus reverb came to be.) And it was good. And God heard that it was good and He smiled at his handiwork.
Then in the course of time, the man came to slap upon the bass. And lo it was funky.
And God heard this funkiness and He said, "Go man, go." And it was good.
And more time passed, and, having little else to do, the man came to practice upon the bass. And lo, the man came to have upon him a great set of chops. And he did play faster and faster until the notes rippled like a breeze through the heavens.
And God heard this sound which sounded something like the wind, which He had created earlier. It also sounded something like the movement of furniture, which He hadn't even created yet, and He was not so pleased. And He spoke to the man, saying "Don't do that!"
Now the man heard the voice of God, but he was so excited about his new ability that he slapped upon the bass a blizzard of funky notes. And the heavens shook with the sound, and the Angels ran about in confusion. (Some of the Angels started to dance, but that's another story.)
And God heard this - how could He miss it - and lo He became Bugged. And He spoke to the man, and He said, "Listen man, if I wanted Jimi Hendrix I would have created the guitar. Stick to the bass parts."
And the man heard the voice of God, and he knew not to mess with it. But now he had upon him a passion for playing fast and high. The man took the frets off of the bass which God had created. And the man did slide his fingers upon the fretless fingerboard and play melodies high upon the neck. And, in his excitement, the man did forget the commandment of the Lord, and he played a frenzy of high melodies and blindingly fast licks. And the heavens rocked with the assault and the earth shook, rattled, and rolled.
Now God's wrath was great. And His voice was thunder as He spoke to the man.
And He said, "O.K. for you, pal. You have not heeded My word. Lo, I shall create a soprano saxophone and it shall play higher than you can even think of."
"And from out of the chaos I shall bring forth the drums. And they shall play so many notes thine head shall ache, and I shall make you to always stand next to the drummer."
"You think you're loud? I shall create a stack of Marshall guitar amps to make thine ears bleed. And I shall send down upon the earth other instruments, and lo, they shall all be able to play higher and faster than the bass."
"And for all the days of man, your curse shall be this; that all the other musicians shall look to you, the bass player, for the low notes. And if you play too high or fast all the other musicians shall say "Wow" but really they shall hate it. And they shall tell you you're ready for your solo career, and find other bass players for their bands. And for all your days if you want to play your fancy licks you shall have to sneak them in like a thief in the night."
"And if you finally do get to play a solo, everyone shall leave the bandstand and go to the bar for a drink."
Yea, and it was so.

IMHO there is no more expressive breed than the bully breeds. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen similar expressions on my pup. He cracks me up!
Dogs can be very expressive. I was watching a hunting show on duck hunting. There were about five guys in this duck blind with one gold Lab.
They had shot a few singles and the Lab would go out and get them. Well, this large flock of ducks came over the blind and all five men started shooting. It sounded like World II. The Lab was watching what was going on, out over the water, up into the sky looking for a falling duck. Not one fell. The Lab turn around and looked at the hunters with this WTF look. What in hell going on all this shooting and not one duck. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I will say one thing about Mockingbirds. If you got one tree on your property and the Mockingbird considers that tree is it's home. Where will be no bird or cat or dog within a quarter of a mile of that tree.
We had some friends who had a Mockingbird move in. Their cat of many years couldn't ever go out into the back yard while Mr. and Mrs. Mockingbird was at home. :biggrin:

Well Libby, the next time you get your hands on a nice large green tomato. You take that lovely thing, slice it, dip it in some egg batter and coat it thickly with cracker crumbs. You fry that baby in some hot oil until it is golden brown and call the Troll and I will help you eat it. :biggrin: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :eat:

A funny for real musicians. :biggrin:
A 'C', an 'E-flat', and a 'G' go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the 'E-flat' leaves, and the 'C' and the 'G' have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the 'G' is out flat. An 'F' comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
A 'D' comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." An 'A' comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of 'C' is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a 'B-flat' hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

I am, Troll. Thank you for checking up on me.
I had to travel for work and was out of town pretty much all of April. I had access to a computer, but I was so exhausted at the end of each day, I didn't bother to log on to anything. I got home a couple weeks ago, but it's been crazy at work and at home trying to get everything back to status quo. I'm also helping a friend w/the opening of her new store. That's been a little hectic because everyone wanted to help until it actually opened and now the people who promised to help can't be found. LOL
So, just busy. I hope all is well with you!
Welcome back, young lady!!
This Mother's Day evokes sadness when I think of the fact that my mother has left this earthly venue. However this fact does not negatively impact the days celebration, for I have many more mothers in my life of whom I am proud. My sisters and daughters (all 5 of them) who continue to remind me of how valuable a mothers role in life is. My wife, who brings me the greatest joy in my lifetime, each and every single day.
This is your day, and I could not be prouder of each and every one of you! Happy Mothers Day! ♥♥♥♥
Very nice tribute, PH. :)

A father was buying bass lessons for his son.
The 1st week the father asked him what he had learned
The son said "On my 1st lesson we learned about the E string"
The 2nd week came and after the lesson the father asked what had he learned that week
The son said "On my 2nd lesson I learned about the A string"
3rd week came by and the father said to his son "You know these are expensive lessons what have you learned this week"
The son said "I quit the lessons I already got a gig"

I play with my big boy toys, but I spend a great deal of time in woodlands and grasslands -- sometimes just for the hell of it.
My Grands are great! I only have two, but today they were here early in the morning. I say to Grandson, "you are my favorite grandson" He smiles and sister says, "but i am your favorite grandchild"...It is hard when they are smarter than me.
:biggrin: :biggrin:
Mine are almost all grown, still have a ten year old, but he lives with his mother and we don't see him much. The others are all teenagers, or older. Sure do miss those little kid hugs and conversations.
I've got 8 of them. (Just like a can of Grands biscuits). :biggrin:
15, 14, 9, 4, 2, 1, 11 months and 9 months old. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
None, yet, but I am anxiously awaiting that day. But, it may be a few more years yet. My oldest is in no hurry to settle down.
I have 11 altogether, 32, 32, 25, 24, 23, 19, 18, 16, 15, 13, and 11 this year, two greats, 9 1nd 1. Pretty soon I am going to lose track of names and dates. :)
My new husband has bunches too. My boys are all so busy with careers, and their spouses that they havent blessed me yet..maybe tho. Daughter has had both of my very own. His grands are much older, and some younger, and live far so we havent really bonded yet. I cant imagine a 15 year old calling me grandma...would just be weird.
Just watched mt grandson graduate cum laude from Lecanto High School. :smitten:
That was the good part. Can anyone tell me why people go to these events with air horns and insist on screaming and blowing the cursed things so that half the time you can't hear the next graduates name? It was a very pleasant evening weather wise for central Florida and what we could hear of the program was very nice.
This is a picture of the replica of the space shuttle that's been on display at the Kennedy Space Center visitor's complex for the past several years. Since KSC is getting shuttle Atlantis later this year, this replica is on its way out to sea, down around the southern tip of Florida, and across the Gulf of Mexico to be put on display at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. This picture was taken as the shuttle was getting ready to enter into the passageway that connects Port Canaveral to the Atlantic Ocean.

I also relive the survivor's remorse associated with it.
To all my comrades, whatever age, whatever service, from decorated combatant to cook, I say "Damn well done, brother."
Thanks for your help in staying alive and healing physically and emotionally. I will never those who were close enough to provide the personal help.

How long is a rope?
Quote from: Anne on June 01, 2012, 05:40:45 PM
How long is a rope?
From one end to the middle- doubled.
Very good, a lot of people don't get that one. Another way of saying it is twice as long as half of it.
anne you always ask such hard questions!!! good thing i copy the answers from PH.
Quote from: Anne on June 01, 2012, 05:40:45 PM

How would you measure it if you didn't have a tape or ruler, no matter how many times you doubled it. :wink: :confused:
I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says that the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do.
Can do - can do - this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do - can do, can do.
For Paul Revere I'll bite
I hear his foot's all right
Of course it all depends if it rained last night
Likes mud, likes mud, this X means the horse likes mud
If that means the horse likes mud, likes mud
Likes mud.
I tell you Paul Revere
Now this is no bum steer
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do.
If he says the horse can do - can do - can do.
Paul Revere. I got the horse right here.
I'm pickin' Valentine, 'cause on the morning line
A guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance, has chance, this guy says the horse has chance
if he says the horse has chance, has chance, has chance
I know it's Valentine, the morning work looks fine
Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine
Needs race, needs race, this guy says the horse needs race
If he says the horse needs race, needs race, needs race.
I go for Valentine, 'Cause on the morning line,
The guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance, has chance, this guy says the horse has chance
Valentine! I got the horse right here.
But look at Epitaph. he wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph
"Big Threat" - "Big Threat"
This guy calls the horse "Big Threat"
If he calls the horse "Big Threat",
Big Threat, Big Threat.
And just a minute, boys.
I've got the feed box noise
It says the great-grandfather was Equipoise
Shows class, shows class.
This guy says the horse shows class
If he says the horse shows class
Shows class, show's class.
So make it Epitaph, he wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph.
Epitaph! I got the hore right here!

Two musicians are driving down a road. All of a sudden they notice the Grim Reaper in the back seat.
Death informs them that they had an accident and they both died. But, before he must take them off into eternity, he grants each musician with one last request to remind them of their past life on earth.
The first musician says he was a Country & Western musician and would like to hear eight choruses of Achy-Breaky Heart as a last hoorah!
The second musician says "I was a jazz musician...kill me now!"

He didn't die, he just went home. (Men in Black) ;D He wasn't my favorite but I loved his voice.
There were a few of his songs I really liked but for the most part I didn't care for him.

The best thing I ever heard Elvis do (but it wasn't really Elvis, just somebody who sounded just like him) was Dread Zeppelin. That was really cool! A reggae band doing Led Zeppelin songs with a 300-pound Elvis impersonator. :biggrin:
When I first heard and saw Elvis in action, I couldn't stand him, but but changed my mind a little bit after my mother passed away and we found her portable radio/tape player with one tape: Elvis singing Amazing Grace. It was emotional for me because that was the song played at her funeral (not by Elvis). Later on I learned from a Gaither program about Elvis that shows up on PBS now and then that the young Elvis sang southern gospel before he became famous.

Someone else told me about Dread Zeppelin. . . Never saw / heard them myself though.
This really is a random thought...
I was driving home the other day and I see a bright red fox run across the highway. No one was behind me so I slowed to watch him thinking how beautiful he was and how happy I was to have the opportunity to check him out. He turned to look at me and I thought about how intelligent his eyes looked and hoped that he was as lucky the next time he crosses. He ran off and I drove off.
I'm in an office building today that has the automatic lights that come on as you walk down the hallway (motion sensitive). There's not a lot of people so they weren't staying on and I was turning them on as I advance to my destination. I saw something making it's way across the carpet and slowed to look. It was a cockroach the size of my big toe. I immediately thought ...WTH! What's that creepy thing doing here? Where's the exterminator? How am I getting past it? (I can't kill bugs...seriously it's a phobia).
We're much more forgiving of wildlife presence than insect presence. ;D
When you step on a cockroach of that size, they sound like a firecracker going off! :biggrin:

Yep. Still there. Still making sure the research and education gets completed each year.
Today after the fund raiser for the girl that was murdered. My wife started counting the motorcycles as they left Lapel. She counted up to 350 and lost count. She said she wouldn't be surprised that there wasn't 500 cycles. Looks like a good turn out. What a shame that the girl had to die to have such a good showing of motorcycles. :'(
Hubby said the heat index on the thing at the VFW showed 124degrees wonder if that's correct. I know it's really hot out there..... :uns: :devil29:

The Fishin' Hole
Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.
We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.
If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

They can be, but that one isn't. I don't think swans are quite as aggressive as geese unless it's mating season.

Yeah. . . we'll see how mute it is when it decides you or something else is a threat. They can be a lot more aggressive than Canada Geese from what I've read, and if you hear them hissing you had better retreat. . . :icon_twisted:

I grabbed a goose by the neck one time when it was charging at my nephew back when he was 5 years old. It backed off pretty damn quick. :yes: He wasn't even bothering them. He was just playing with a ball in a park.
I have kind of a goose phobia ;D
Growing up, we had two geese. Because we never ate them, I always assumed they were mom's pets. Anyway, they would hide and wait for me to come out to go to the bus, then they would chase me flapping their wings, hissing and nipping at my legs all the way to the gate. Mom thought it was humorous, I guess the geese did too. I did not. :biggrin:

I had some chickens when I was a kid. Two roosters and 4 hens. One of the roosters was really big and he love to chase and flop my two sisters. He thought it was fun. Them running and screaming and him running after them clucking and flapping his wings. :haha: All around the yard. He was quite a bird. :haha: :haha:
He tried to flop my mother and she play like he was a softball with a broom. He never tried to flop her again. Smart chicken :chick:

I had a pet rooster when I was young. It grew up out of an Easter chick. I was the only one who could get around it. I used to get a snort watching him chase people, especially my mother. She paid me back by having him throttled, cooking him, and making me eat him. I couldn't eat chicken for a long time.

That reminds me of a childhood event. My best friend kept rabbits and his favorite was Nibbles. One day his mother called all us boys in for a warm meal of stew. Several of us remarked on how good the stew was before my friend said, ma what's in this? ( most of us had second and third helpings by that point)
Nibbles was her reply!

I, personally, think it's cruel to eat a pet 'farm' animal unless it's a necessity, and especially to make the owner eat it.

They were raised and raised to eat, but nibbles was the "pet" and mother of all the food. The ten year old I was at the time found it hilarious, and I was the only one who finished the portion being consumed. (for which I was ragged for for years)
If u had seen the smile his polish/Jewish mother had on her face when she announced it was nibbles. Looking back it makes the event all the more surreal to me.
That sounds like the same satisfaction my mother had when she fed me my rooster. Surreal isn't the word, abuse is.

That is what happen to my rooster. My dad killed him and the rest of the family ate him. When I seen what happened I got up from the table and didn't eat that night. You know I never forgive my dad for killing my rooster before I could have found him a new home. I paid for him, I paid for his food and I took care of him. Dad had no right to kill him. Still :angry: :mad: when I think about it. :rant:
Yeah, I don't understand why anyone would want to do that to a kid.
Thanks to all of you.
Stormed and poured down rain here for awhile here this morning, it is still spitting rain. My husband and grandson were fishing at Shadyside. Grandson caught a 10 lb catfish.

I believe it's raining again and I hear thunder. :smile:
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. "Miss Beatrice," he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?" pointing to the bowl.
"Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease."

I was a very late bloomer, and like Miss Beatrice, was quite naive about certain matters, especially sexual. Not quite sure I ever caught up :confused: Anyway, the subject matter of Da Wham's joke made me think of something that happened when I was a girl, probably 7 or 8. The nearest neighbors were not the kind my parents, especially my mother, would have chosen, but ... one day I was wandering and over near their house I found a balloon. Picked it up, ran into our house to show momma, couldn't understand why she got so mad when I said, all excited, "Look, momma! I found a pretty white balloon." (Don't remember if I tried to blow it up before I showed it to momma. :eek:)

Soooo I've promised a friend that I'll come to her Zumba class. She's the instructor and she is trying to convince me that I like Zumba. :biggrin:
I'm looking at it as an opportunity to shake up my fitness routine, but I'm not a fan of Zumba. I spend most of the time trying to figure out where I'm supposed to be. I'm also allergic to being cheer led. I like to exercise solo. ;D
At any rate, the problem is that the class is in an hour and I just ate some curried goat and rice that a Jamaican friend brought me. My goodness it was delicious, but now I need a nap. :zzz:

Cicero and Fall creeks aren't to big or carry much water. :confused: It is something to see at Geist, Million dollar homes sitting 150 feet in front of a mud flat and a little stream of water.

It is a hard thing to understand. A teenage friend of my kids killed himself (this was about 30 years ago) and none of the kids had an inkling of what he was going to do. I am not sure they ever knew why he did it.
It is completely mind boggling when I hear about such things....very heart breaking. The thought of any young person doing such a thing is beyond me, let alone the thought of my own children doing this.....it would tear me apart.

It's hard to believe that suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24...and often, there are no warning signs. I didn't know this young man personally; however, it appears he was outgoing, active, athletic, and popular. Of course environmental influences play a significant role, so it's hard to say exactly what the impetus was for him to carry out the lethal act.
We often don't know the "why" behind their actions or ever have real closure. :(
Did anyone hear the news that Vi Ripken was kidnapped this morning? Apparently the kidnapper had her gagged and tied up in the back of her car and took her towards Essex Maryland and was spotted by someone. He gave a cover story that it was his mom or grandmother and he was taking her to the hospital. The person didn't buy it (I guess because you don't bind and gag someone on the way to the hospital :biggrin: ) and called the cops. The kidnapper took her back to Harford county and abandoned her and the vehicle. He never asked for a ransom, but I think he chickened out.
Vi Ripkin is former Oriole player Cal Ripkin's mother.

It's not so much what you see externally that can be the indicator. The fact is that age group is typically the area in our development when hormone levels go off the charts, testosterone too, and as well all know both of those things do not make for sound thought processes; and in fact both have been clinically shown to impair judgement and the thought process. We've known about it for decades but we have yet to take that knowledge to the next level and understand what to do about it.
Yes, the phase is inherent toward physical development but despite our similarities in biological and chemical make-up, each of us is unique and each of us experience a very different "reaction" on a physical and mental level when it comes to this phase of our growth. And as a result every once in "X" number of cases, someone doesn't react "properly" and unless someone within their circle of trust is a trained psychologist it is going to go unnoticed until something like this happens.
It's always sad and it is a terrible event to say the least, but we have no one to blame for it outside of society's abject failure to take the knowledge we have and learn what to do with it.
The lion's share of us have a hard enough time keeping up with immunizations, wellness checks, braces, etc., financially. Adding mental health to that burden isn't in the cards for most of us, thanks to the state of healthcare in this country and the draconian entities healthcare insurers have become.
About the best thing we can hope to do is to create, nurture, and sustain a very close relationship with our children. One that is so close it will drive separation anxiety if we are not careful. Only then will we have an increased ability to recognize the subtle clues that might tell us that inclusion of a mental health check and chemical screen analysis may be necessary to prevent the "out of balance" chemistry situations that in the opinion of many, contribute to such tragedies. . .

They got lucky because the hot weather left for the past week. It was actually pretty nice out there today. Had a corn dog, elephant ear, and assorted other bad for you fair food.
And it appears we left just in time. I wasn't aware the stage coach show was going on or I'd have been in the middle of what just happened. (A stage coach flipped over during the show and several ambulances and other rescue personnel are there right now). :spooked:

A six-horse stagecoach overturned inside the Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana State Fair Sunday afternoon.
Five people were transported to Methodist Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to fair spokesman Andy Klotz.
Percherons and Clydesdales, large horses known for pulling coaches and carts, were scheduled to begin competing in the Coliseum at 5 p.m., after 4-H dairy cattle contest concluded there earlier today.
Erika Elaine Burghardt, of Mulberry, the reigning Miss Indiana State Fair queen appeared to be riding atop the stagecoach beside the driver when it tipped over.
The accident occurs just one day before the one-year anniversary of the State Fair stage collapse which killed seven and injured nearly 60 people.

I love draft horses and had I known the event was scheduled today at 5pm I would have been there for it. Never realized it until we got home and heard the first reports of this accident. . .

I found a female rotweiler today. She was wandering around the road I live on. I stopped to check on her and she climbed under my car. :biggrin:. So, I turned the engine off, grabbed a couple dog treats that I had in the car and sat dow. Yes, right in the road. LoL. Eventually curiosity got the best of her and she belly scooted out, sniffed me and then nudged the hand w/the treats. I gave those to her and scratched her ears which earned me a lick on the hand. I patted her, got up and opened my car door and she jumped right in. I got her some food and water she was starved,n let her rest and then took her for a walk to see if I could find the owner. I gave out my number to a few, called animal control and the humane society with my information and a description of the dog and put out an APB on a social network. In the meantime, my daughter made signs and plastered them all over. She's friendly, but won't leave my side and I'm in love. If the owners don't show up, I can't turn her over to the HS and I can't keep her. I have enough trouble finding places that will accept my Golden. One guy seemed surprised that I wasn't afraid to approach her. I laughed and said, "I wasn't, but I didn't. I let her decide to approach me". Besides her owners obviously love her. She's well groomed and very sweet. She knows simple commands like sit and heel. I hope they get her soon or I may have to sue for visitation rights ;D
Simply outstanding.

I admire your humanity and generosity, but a word of warning. KEEP the dog away from your Golden. Rotts can be very territorial and it sounds as if she is laying her claim as a member of your pack. So you golden will need to be "put into its place" in the pack; and that means a fight.
Unless you want an astronomical vet bill, keep the dogs separated at all times.

Good advice. They've been introduced and were playing together, but he's at my daughter's dad's tonight. I could have left her in the garage, but I couldn't bear to do that and I didn't want him to feel like he has taken second place. They spoil him there so it's a treat for him. The funny thing is, she immediately rolled over on her back and let him sniff her. She also seems to be avoiding his stuff. She hasn't played with any of his toys, she wouldn't feed from his bowl so we had to give her one. She doesn't mind drinking after him though, but all the animals drink from those bowls. The cats don't mind her at all and she doesn't mind them. They all sniffed at each other, but no one was upset. She won't lay on his doggie bed either, but doesn't seem to be offended by mine. ;D
She's such a sweet sweet dog that every minute she's here it's breaking my heart. I know someone HAS to be missing this dog. But I'm getting worried that they don't seem to be looking for her. No hits on the signs.

Good choice! (I assumed you would have the good sense necessary to do what was right, but wanted to make sure).
My ex took in a Rott once, as a foster owner until the owner(s) could be reached. That dog disemboweled one of her cats despite being "sweet and gentle" with them at first. The cat lived but it cost her a TON of $$ to keep the cat alive. (I'd have put her down).
Wow, that's good to know. The cats sleep on the screened in porch so keeping them apart while we're asleep is no problem, but I've got to make arrangements by Monday. Her dad can't keep Ben forever and the cats will roam during the day and I'll be at work. I guess I could keep her in the garage or find someone to dog-sit.
Do you think someone dropped her. :'(
That's my fear. I even left my info with animal control (and the Humane Societ but AC is open 24/7) hoping they'd call to see if anyone turned her in. I don't see any lost dog posters (just our found ones) and I even posted it on Craig's list and had it go viral via FB. You'd think someone would be looking for her...if they didn't drop her. :(

People drop dogs every minute of every day, sad to say. Most of the time it is because they bought a breed that they were unprepared to deal with, because it was "cool".
I once owned a Dalmatian that was a drop off. The dog had been left to fend for itself in south suburban Chicago in the dead of winter. My ex wife was taking the cat to the vet that morning, and driving along a rural road she saw a guy on the side of the road trying to coax a dog out a a deadfall tree. She kept going. On her way back from the vet, she saw the animal still in that tree pile, and took the cat home, then went back.
She said she stopped the van, opened the door to get out, and the dog ran straight to her and jumped into the vehicle as if she had been waiting for her. When she called me to tell me about it I immediately told her to take the dog to the humane society. (Thankfully she did not listen to me.)
I got home that evening and found this bag of skin and bones (literally) in my garage. She pulled herself off of the pallet my wife had made for her, and approached me like we had known each other for years. I gave her some basic commands and she obeyed on the spot.
I told my wife we'd take her to the vet and if anything was wrong with the dog that required money to deal with, that I'd pay to have her put down.
After a thorough exam and blood work, the next day the vet called me at work. "There isn't a thing wrong with the dog that warmth, food, and love won't take care of". I called my wife and told her to let the dog into the house as long as one of us were home.
It took that dog all of two weeks to put an end to her being put into the garage when we went to work or out. She was awesome once we got her well fed. She never one time had an "accident in the house" and always let us know when she wanted to go out. About the only issue we had with her was within the first 6 months of having her she had got out of the yard two times on my wife and hauled ass into the field across the road, and would not listen to my wife who tried to catch her.
The third time I was home when it happened, and when I caught up with her she immediately knew she had messed up and went submissive. I scolded her a good one and hauled her all the way home on a tight leash. She NEVER did it again after that, despite the fact I actually gave her plenty of opportunities to do so on purpose.
The dog died several years ago, long after the divorce, and that dog's passing broke my heart. (A lot more than the divorce ever thought of doing). And at the moment she passed I somehow knew it. I was sitting at my home, several counties north of where she lived, and you will think I am nuts, but I swear that dog's spirit came to me. I saw a ghostly version of her come to me and nudge my hand like she always did when she wanted my attention. I recognized that "ghost" and knew at once something was very wrong.
The next day the ex called to tell me she had passed, and when she told me the time she died my heart skipped several beats. It was the exact time I had seen her "ghost".
I miss that stray a lot, and came to love her dearly. She was the only piece of property I truly wanted from the divorce, but was the one thing I was least entitled to, and so did not even ask.
I believe I posted of her passing within this forum when it happened.
So drop off dogs are not always the problem people perceive them to be. The problem is usually that the masters were ill-prepared to meet the needs of the breed when they took them on.
My advice to you is to research the breed over the next week. Then, decide whether you can provide what the animal needs to lead a healthy and satisfying life, and whether or not your lifestyle can allow you to meet those needs without imposing too many requirements upon you. Include considering whether or not you have available sitters who can also meet the needs of the animal during vacations or business travel.
I speak from experience, and because of the breed of the animal, check with your insurance company surrounding the acceptability of the breed when it comes to things like homeowners insurance and liability insurance. (Don't assume that they will cover anything).
IF you do all of the above and find that you are a good match, take the animal to the vet for a good checkup. If it gets a clean bill of health and no one has stepped forward to lay claim to it, then begin the acclimation of the entire pack, and welcome the new pack member home.
If the answers to any of these things is no, or maybe; then start looking for a no kill shelter or a more suitable owner ASAP.
Unfortunately, even though I already love her, I can't have her. I've owned a Rotty before...we co-owned and lost her in a break-up. She was one of the most obedient and misunderstood dogs ever. People were automatically afraid of her, but my ex had made sure that she had rigorous obedience training (she even had medals from formal obedience trials) and would stop on a dime at a command. The only fault I had w/her was her enormous size and the fat she thought she was a lap dog. I sat pinned to my seat w/numb legs many times. :biggrin: Like most of the larger breeds, obedience training was imperative to ensure they were controllable. If my circumstances were different, I'd have NO qualms about adopting her. But I rent and I'll be looking for a new place here in about two months because the owners are selling and as sweet as she is, she's on most restricted lists.
Plus, most rentals limit the number of animals and since I have Benji and two cats, that's probably the quota.
It makes me sad though. I know she'd be happy with us if I can't find her family.
One thing for sure...she's not sleeping in here tonight...non discrete flatulence issues. :spooked: :biggrin:
Oh, a friend suggested that I have her scanned for a chip. It's possible. She was well taken acre of and appears to be purebred. Where should I have that done? Will any vet do it?

Yup. Any vet can do the scan, as well as many shelters. That was one of the first things they did with the drop off dog we had. But no chip. :'(
A lot of pet stores, at least the big ones here in South Florida, will also scan for a chip.
I have a lead that may be her home. A FB friend of a friend saw my post and she has a friend who lives about 3 miles from me who has an eleven month old rottweiler female. I would give this one a year tops. When I had her out walking yesterday, she stopped to stare at every loud truck. This guy has a big diesel truck. I'm waiting for a call. *crossing my fingers*
After that, we're headed to Petsmart. :biggrin:

Mine are crossed too.
Interestingly I also own a diesel, and our dog knows when I arrive home even before I turn into the subdivision. And he can tell my truck from every other diesel that comes down the road. :smile: :yes:
Yeah well, in this case it was NO seegar.
I got tired of waiting for a phone call and drove over to that neighborhood. His driveway was the only one w/a diesel.
He owns two rottweilers and they were in the fenced in yard. They looked up and got excited and she got excited, like a homecoming, no barking just excited little yelps. I rang the doorbell and there was no answer. I waited and rang it again, still no answer. So I contacted my friend. He only has two dogs. Both present and accounted for...not his. :(
I went to PetSmart and no chip.
Well crap. That sucks.
Did you try the grocery sto'...since you was a'lookin' for chips. :razz:

Here's one for bass players (60's era)
Missionary and guide walking through jungle hear drums playing.
Missionary says "I wish the drums would stop."
Guide says "No want drums to stop!".
Days go by with no let up in the drums and missionary is going insane. "Please make the drums stop!" he screams.
Guide replies "No want drums to stop."
The missionary asks "For God's sake why not?".
The guide replies "After drums, bass solo!"

Jesus in a Bar
The bartender was washing his glasses, when an elderly Irishman came in. With great difficulty, the Irishman hoisted his bad leg over the barstool, pulled himself up painfully and asked for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looked down the bar and said, "Is that Jesus down there?" The bartender nodded, so the Irishman told him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey, too.
The next patron to come in was an ailing Italian with a hunched back, who moved very slow. He shuffled up to the barstool and asked for a glass of Chianti. He also looked down the bar and asked if that was Jesus sitting at the end of the bar. The bartender nodded, so the Italian said to give Him a glass of Chianti, too.
The third patron to enter the bar was a redneck, who swaggered into the bar and hollered, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one! Hey, is that God's Boy down there?" The barkeep nodded, so the redneck told him to give Jesus a cold one, too.
As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman felt the strength come back to his leg, so he got up and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus touched the Italian and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands above his head and did a flip out the door.
Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back and exclaimed, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability!"

As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman felt the strength come back to his leg, so he got up and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus touched the Italian and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands above his head and did a flip out the door.
Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back and exclaimed, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability!"

I want some snow this year. I only got to use my snow blower once last year and that was on two inches of snow. I want to see if it still worked. :biggrin:
But with no snow and then the drought the Indiana lakes have take a real beating. Salomonie is down 11 feet from pool stage and that means half the lake was dry. Now don't think I am have went completely "HAWK" (crazy). I don't want any ice storms, no high winds, no electrical black outs, no huge drifts. just some nice 14 inch snow storms. :wink: Something my snow blower loves to eat. :yes: :biggrin:

SNARE DRUM/TRAP SET: This weapon affects only a very small demographic: teenage girls and the fathers of these girls with steady jobs and liquid bank accounts. The snare drummer and the jazz/rock variety of set player act almost like a computer worm. The drummer will attach himself to an unsuspecting teenage girl and milk her and her father's finances in such a way as to not be noticed by the father until it is too late. Drummers are the leaches of the music world and can only be countered by being forced to get a real day job. This will reduce the drummer's "coolness" factor and the daughter will immediately lose interest.

Skydiver aims to break sound barrier in free fall
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)—His blood could boil. His lungs could overinflate. The vessels in his brain could burst. His eyes could hemorrhage.
And, yes, he could break his neck while jumping from a mind-boggling altitude of 23 miles.
But the risk of a gruesome death has never stopped "Fearless Felix" Baumgartner in all his years of skydiving and skyscraper leaping, and it's not about to now.
Next Monday over New Mexico, he will attempt the highest, fastest free fall in history and try to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.

Anybody going to see "Lincoln" when it comes out?
An old man was on his death bed and called his whole family together so that he could bid them farewell and make his peace with the world.
After he said what he wanted to each in turn and he knew he was coming very close to death he called for all to gather together.
"I have one thing I would like to confess before I go," he said.
They all drew closer.
"It was me," cough, wheeze, "I was the one," he said as they leaned down as close as they could to hear what he could barely get out in a whisper.
Gasp, cough, "I was the one," cough, wheeze, "in the kitchen with Dinah..."

I had a rare moment last Friday, but I found myself, standing behind our POTUS with all my heart. As he gave his press conference regarding the shooting of those 20 children......I actually felt connected to President Obama. For the first time, I actually believed in every word he said, and saw REAL conviction coming from his heart. He was speaking more as a father, but was extremely presidential, and I very much appreciated his words and his emotion. What a tragic time this is for our Nation....but it seems it is times such a this that reminds everyone that we are indeed on the same team regarding ourselves as Americans.
Now, I as still on the opposite side of the totem pole regarding his political views, but as a father and as an American, I salute him.

December 29, 2012 marked the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota .
These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms "for their own safety and protection". The slaughter began AFTER the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. When the final round had flown, of the 297 dead or dying, two thirds (200) were women and children.
Around 40 members of the 7th Cavalry were killed, over half cut down by friendly fire from the Hotchkiss guns of their overzealous comrades-in-arms. Twenty members of the 7th Cavalry were deemed "National Heros" and awarded the Medal of Honor for their acts of cowardice.
We do not hear of Wounded Knee today. It is not mentioned in our history classes or books. What little does exist about Wounded Knee is normally the sanitized "Official Government Explanation" or the historically and factually inaccurate depictions of the events leading up to the massacre on the movie screen.
Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.
Before you jump on the emotionally charged bandwagon for gun-control, take a moment to reflect on the real purpose of the Second Amendment. The right of the people to take up arms in defense of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an oppressive government. The argument that the Second Amendment only applies to hunting and target shooting is asinine. When the United States Constitution was drafted "hunting" was an everyday chore carried out by men and women to put meat on the table each night, and "target shooting" was an unheard of concept, musket balls were a precious commodity in the wilds of early America , and were certainly not wasted "target shooting". The Second Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defense purposes should such tyranny rise in the United States .
As time goes on the average citizen in the United States continues to lose personal freedom or "liberty". Far too many times unjust bills are passed and signed into law under the guise of "for your safety" or "for protection". The Patriot Act signed into law by G.W. Bush, then expanded and continued by Barack Obama is just one of many examples of American citizens being stripped of their rights and privacy for "safety". Now, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is on the table, and will, most likely be taken away for "our safety".
Before any American citizen blindly accepts whatever new firearms legislation that is about to be doled out, they should stop and think about something for just one minute.
Evil does exist in our world. It always has and always will. Throughout history evil people have committed evil acts. In the Bible one of the first stories is that of Cain killing Abel. We can not legislate "evil" into extinction. Good people will abide by the law, defective people will always find a way around it.
And another thought. Evil exists all around us, but looking back at the historical record of the past 200 years across the globe, where is "evil" and "malevolence" most often found? In the hands of those with the power - governments. That greatest human tragedies on record and the largest loss of innocent human life can be attributed to governments. Who do governments target? "Scapegoats" and "enemies" within their own borders...but only after they have been disarmed to the point where they are no longer a threat. Ask any Native American, and they will tell you it was inferior technology and lack of arms that contributed to their demise. Ask any Armenian why it was so easy for the Turks to exterminate millions of them, and they will answer "We were disarmed before it happened". Ask any Jew what Hitler's first step prior to the mass murders of the Holocaust was - confiscation of firearms from the people.
Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we shouldn't be in such a hurry to surrender our Right to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we have no right to defend ourselves and our families.
Our grandson was in town between Christmas and New Years. He received a new X Box (the Star Wars version) for Christmas and brought it to our house to connect to the internet. It has motion sensors to operate the CD tray. The X Box was sitting on a chair, puppy investigates, Cd tray pops out and hits him in the nose. He backs up quickly, gives a quick bark and comes and sits by me. Ten minutes later he goes to investigate again, same result, this time he yips and runs to the other room, hides behind a chair for about an hour. He did not go near the X Box again. He is one chicken dog, but we sure do love him.

Did you get a flu shot. I do every year and I think it helps. It might not keep you from getting the flu, but I think it keep the flu from getting so bad. :yes:
I use to fight the flu and bad colds and not going to the doctor. I don't fight any more and I go and tho he the doctor might not be able to cure the cold for you, he can make you feel a lot better. Get Well, Henry, I know how you feel. :thumbsup:

It pains me to say this, (due to employment history), but I have one word to help you with your issue:
Tamiflu. And if you do go to the doctor and he prescribes it for you, ask him to prescribe it for everyone in your family too. (It is preventative as well and can prevent everybody able to take it from contracting the virus.
It absolutely, positively, without a single doubt in my mind, works miracles with the flu.
Go get some from your doctor and you will feel 110% better within 48 hours of starting the regimen. :yes: :yes:
PH, you are the second person I have heard say good things about Tamiflu. I am going to look into it. Yes, I DID have a flu shot, and I am no longer convinced that they help any. I know there are several types of flu.....My wife got one too, and she was hit two weeks ago with chest and cold flu, then last week was hit with the intestinal flu. Mine was more intestinal, but had the worst headache and body pain I think I have ever endured. It has gone through my entire family now. My son and I are, I believe, on the rebound now. I feel much, much better, but still stayed home from work one more day. Haven't ate much, so feelin weak.
Thanks for the kind words....should be back in action soon. :yes:
Lookin" forward to your return, guy.
Hope by now you're all better, HH.
Unless my memory is going, I've never had the flu, but the sickest I ever remember being was when my boss at the time (a doctor) convinced me to take my first and only flu shot. I was in bed for a week. Miserable. Every part of me ached, but the backache was the worst.
Ole' Duke hopes you have a speedy recovery from the dadburn flu type deal.
Best regards,
Duke ( when I get the flu I drink plenty of water and whine incessantly ;)) Jupiter
How weird is this? Got my strat out to clean it up so I could hang it on the wall and stuck my Snark on it to tune it before hanging and it was still in tune. :spooked: Haven't touched it in, I'm sorry to say, 10yrs 'cause I've been playing my acoustic. It's just been sitting on the stand until I put it in the case when we moved.

But Henry, maybe if your hadn't had that flu shot, you might have ended up in the hospital. :yes:
last year I got a sinuse infection. It went into a very sore throat. Then it went into my lungs and then went into pneumonia and with I got to stay in the hospital for 3 days. :o
From what I have researched on flue shots, they might stop the flue, but they do cut down the severity of the flue. :yes: :tiphat:
Mr. George H. W. Bush released from the hospital today. Good for him! I bet he is glad to be home.

Tom Fogerty has died. He wakes up and finds himself on a stage on which a number of instruments are set up.
A door offstage opens and in walk Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, John Lennon, Otis Redding, and Buddy Holly. Each musician picks up his favorite instrument and begins tuning up.
All of the instruments are taken but, to Tom's immense pleasure, the drums. He walks up to Jimi and says, "Man, so this is what heaven is like."
Jimi looks at him and says, "Heaven? You think this is heaven?"
At that moment, Karen Carpenter walks in, takes her seat behind the drums, and calls out, "Okay guys, 'Close to You'. One, two, three, four..."

Thank you all!
Late one day a local pub saw six guys walk in, obviously in pairs of two, sit down and order their favorite after-work drinks.
The first two to seat themselves and be served by the bartender were two guys working at a major university whose I.Q.s were so high they could hardly be measured! They began discussing from Quantum Mechanics to the fine points of Particle Physics, either one as brilliantly as the other.
The bartender then went over to the next pair who were "regular guys" with ordinary jobs, with average I.Q.s, schmoozing about how hard it was today to keep up with bill payments, how high taxes were, how corrupt politicians were and all the day-to-day struggles most everyone has.
The last two the bartender served were two very badly educated, ill-mannered dolts with very low I.Q.s that could barely be measured on any I.Q. test. As soon as they'd ordered the bartender overheard one say to the other, "Oh, hey, I meant to ask ya, d'you use flatwound or roundwound on your bass?"

Trouble with wet heavy snow is that it breaks things like power lines.
I had to shovel when I got home in the wee hours of the morning this morning.
I didn't dare crank up the snow blower at that time of the night, and I knew my wife would have issues trying to get out if I didn't shovel. . .
So shovel I did. :smitten:

At a convention of biological scientists one researcher remarks to another, "Did you know that in our lab we have switched from mice to banjo players for our experiments?"
"Really?" the other replied, "Why did you switch?"
"Well, for three reasons. First we found that banjo players are far more plentiful, second, the lab assistants don't get so attached to them, and thirdly there are some things even a rat won't do. However, sometimes it is very hard to extrapolate our test results to real human beings."

~Why guitars are better than women ~
You can share your Guitar with your friends.
Guitars don't care how many other Guitars you've played
Guitars don't care if you look at other Guitars.
Guitars don't care if you buy Guitar magazines.
Your Guitar doesn't care if you never listen to it.
Your Guitar won't care if you leave up the toilet seat.
Your parents won't remain in touch with your old Guitar after you dump it.
Guitars don't insult you if you're a bad player.
Your Guitar never wants a night out with the other Guitars.
You can play your Guitar the first time you meet it, without having to take it to dinner, see a movie, or meet its mother.
I attended a luncheon today and the speaker was Mr. Gene Yates. He gave a talk about the raid on Los Banos on Feb. 23, 1945. It was very interesting and informative. Two thousand one hundred and forty seven internees were liberated without a single allied or internee casualty.

Guitars don't snore.
Guitars never wake you up in the middle of the night, for any reason.
Guitars never try to show you off to their friends.
Guitars don't come home drunk after a night out with the other Guitars.
You don't have to praise a Guitar after playing it.
Guitars don't have to prove anything.
Guitars don't try to change you once you've bought them.
Second-hand Guitars don't go to see previous owners when you're out of town.
Guitars don't have egos.
You don't have to continually assure your Guitar that its string length is just right.
Your Guitar will never earn more than you do for the same job just because it's a Guitar.
Your Guitar never spends a "night out with the Guitars" and comes home with a strange rash
on its fretboard.

Wow. I used to know a woman in Bluefield who did that as a hobby, and she was good, but nothing as intricate as that.

That bridge really scares me.
About 3 years ago I drove to Bluefield and took along my friend Shirley, who lives in Delaware. A friend dropped her off at my house. The trip to Bluefield was fun; we had a lot of catching up to do. But coming back! :spooked: Because the person who drove Shirley to my house was tied up, and Shirley said she absolutely had to get home, I volunteered to drive her into Maryland where we could meet up with her friend, who would drive her the rest of the way. :rolleyes: I followed your route, got on 301 east. Had never been that way before.
It was a little too late for comfort when I got my first glimpse of Nice bridge. :eek: :eek: Could not believe my eyes. Didn't look to the right or left as I drove, up, up, up, and then down, down, down, very slowly. By the time I got to the big motel on the right as you get into Waldorf, it was almost dark. Her friend was waiting and wanted to buy us dinner, but I said no, I needed to get on home. By the time I got back to that :rant: bridge, it WAS DARK, almost no traffic (no one to follow) so I drove across it very slowly. It was the same on 301 - almost no traffic, so I drove slowly and carefully until I got back to Fredericksburg. I almost cried with joy when I spotted the sign for I-95. It took another 30-45 minutes to get home, but I didn't care. I was in familiar territory.
The next day I could hardly move.

That really is a scary bridge. Even in broad daylight.
On the way down last week, I was going north on I77 when I saw signs that warned of trouble after the East River Mountain tunnel. So I got off in Bastian and took old route 52 across the mountain. I hadn't been that way in 40 years and it damn near scared me to death. There are places with no guardrail and a 2000 foot drop.
I found out later that a massive rock slide had shut down I77 between Bluefield and Princeton. Last I heard, it was still shut down.

This one is four lanes. No problem. The Harry Nice is two lanes. You're climbing up this monstrously high bridge with trucks flying at you. And when you get to the top, it's so steep you can't see "over the hump."
Well, I see they finally got I77 reopened.

It was only two lanes when I went through it and the tunnel part was the part I really didn't like. Didn't particularly care for the tunnels by themselves either.
The bridge we used to have to cross to get to my grandmother's place in Dry Branch WV. Now there was one hugely scary structure. :eek: Wish I had pictures of it. . .

Mothman is a legendary creature first reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from 15 November 1966 to 15 December 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point Pleasant Register dated 16 November 1966, entitled "Couples See Man-Sized Bird...Creature...Something".
On Nov. 12, 1966, five men who were digging a grave at a cemetery near Clendenin, WV claimed to see a man-like figure fly low from the trees over their heads. This is often attributed as the first known sighting of what would become known as the Mothman.
Shortly thereafter, on Nov. 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette told police they saw a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red" when the car headlights picked it up. They described it as a "flying man with ten foot wings' following their car while they were driving in an area of town known as 'the TNT area', the site of a former World War II munitions plant.
During the next few days, other people reported similar sightings. Two volunteer firemen who sighted it said it was a "large bird with red eyes". Mason County Sheriff George Johnson commented that he believed the sightings were due to an unusually large heron he termed a "shitepoke". Contractor Newell Partridge told Johnson that when he aimed a flashlight at a creature in a nearby field its eyes glowed "like bicycle reflectors", and blamed buzzing noises from his television set and the disappearance of his German Shepherd dog on the creature.
Wildlife biologist Dr. Robert L. Smith at West Virginia University told reporters that descriptions and sightings all fit the Sandhill Crane, a large American crane almost as high as a man with a seven foot wingspan featuring circles of reddish coloring around the eyes, and that the bird may have wandered out of its migration route.
There were no Mothman reports in the immediate aftermath of the December 15, 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge and the death of 46 people, giving rise to legends that the Mothman sightings and the bridge collapse were connected.
The Silver Bridge was an eyebar-chain suspension bridge built in 1928 and named for the color of its aluminum paint. The bridge connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia and Gallipolis, Ohio, over the Ohio River.
On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed while it was full of rush-hour traffic, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. Two of the victims were never found. Investigation of the wreckage pointed to the cause of the collapse being the failure of a single eyebar in a suspension chain, due to a small defect 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) deep. Analysis showed that the bridge was carrying much heavier loads than it had originally been designed for and was poorly maintained.
The collapsed bridge was replaced by the Silver Memorial Bridge, which was completed in 1969.
My family crossed that "silver bridge" several times each year en route to our family vacation destination at Grandma's home in WV. It was a tragedy that my family took very seriously, and one that caused dad to severely adjust our route in order to avoid such bridges as much as possible.

Hokoleskwa (more commonly known as Chief Cornstalk) also supposedly cursed the area in and around Point Pleasant right before his brutal murder at the hands of American militiamen in 1777. He is buried in Point Pleasant along the banks of the Ohio river. Stories of him and his curse predate the Mothman stories.

A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost.
"$10 for 3 minutes," replied the pilot.
"That's too much," said the farmer.
The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make a sound, you'll have to pay $10."
The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man."
"Maybe so," said the farmer, "But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out."

The warden asks the cowboy if he has a last request, to which the cowboy replies, "Ah shore do, wardn. Ah'd be mighty grateful if'n yoo'd play 'Achy Breaky Heart' fur me bahfore ah hafta go."
"Sure enough, cowboy, we can do that," says the warden.
He turns to the biker, "And you, biker, what's your last request?"
"That you kill me first."

Dead Again
A funeral service is held for a woman who just passed away. As the pallbearers carry the casket out, they accidentally bump into a wall.
They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive.
She lives for 10 more years and then dies. They have another funeral for her. At the end of the service, the pallbearers carry out the casket....
As they are walking, the husband cries out, "Watch out for the wall!"
:biggrin:
This certainly fits the "random" category.
I went to a hula hoop fitness class yesterday. :biggrin:
Has anyone else tried that? If not, you should. It's not just hula hooping like when we were kids. She showed us so much cool stuff. Apparently (and I won't get into this much) but its become Zen-like like yoga. They also use it at clubs and raves. lol (don't see me doing that either lol)
I tried an aqua Zumba class last week too. Fun, not your granny's water aerobics at all. She had great music and I was actually sore the next day. That said, I'll probably just go back to swimming, but it's worth a try if you have it in your area.

:yes: I know the general area (Arlington) well. Interesting places to eat in every direction. The first department store I shopped at (Hecht's) after moving to Northern VA was not too far away. I could walk two blocks from my job to Hecht's and the subway. I don't remember Ray's. Maybe because in later years they moved us three times -- farther away from easy-to-walk-to places.

No POTUS is "just one of the guys" regardless of party, and to bring up such a ridiculous point regarding that video again speaks volumes about you. My point still stands since you're turning this into something political as per usual. You would never catch a Republican president doing something like that, hence my comment.

Obamas Bring Their Chicago Chef to the White House
By MARIAN BURROS
Sam Kass, a private chef for the Obamas while they were living in Chicago, is now working in the White House.
A spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, said Mr. Kass will not be the only cook preparing the family's meals, but "he knows what they like and he happens to have a particular interest in healthy food and local food." He will work alongside the White House executive chef, Cristeta Comerford, who was promoted to that job by the Bushes and is being kept on in that role by the Obamas.
Mr. Kass's appointment signals changes at the White House that should please chefs like Alice Waters, who have lobbied the Obamas to set an example for the rest of the country by emphasizing food that is healthy, local and sustainable. It further suggests that a vegetable garden on the White House grounds, another of Ms. Waters' dreams, could be on the horizon.
Mr. Kass, one of the new breed of chefs who are concerned about the environment and about poor eating habits in this country, has been quoted as saying people in his profession should take the lead in tackling public health issues. "Not only is there an unconscionable amount of people who remain hungry," he told "In These Times" magazine last year, said, "there's even a larger population, mostly poor, who are faced with obesity, diabetes and various other problems from overabundance."
A Chicago native, he graduated from the University of Chicago and received his formal training at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Europe, then went to work at Avec, a highly regarded Chicago wine bar serving Mediterranean food.
After he left the restaurant Mr. Kass, who is 28, founded Inevitable Table, a private chef service in Chicago, according to its Web site, that is the client's "link to clean, healthy food." In addition to cooking and shopping "mainly from local farms," and purchasing wines from "small sustainable wineries," the Web site says, the service offers meals for children and for private parties. All sample menus start with salads; all main courses include plenty of vegetables.
Those who have eaten his food say that it is not only delicious but very healthful and beautifully presented.
Mr. Kass was required to sever his relationship with the company when he went to work at the White House.
He was also a programmer and part-time executive chef at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum in Chicago, dedicated to the work of the 19th century social reformer.
One of its projects, Re-thinking Soup, for which Mr. Kass made soup every Tuesday, and served it with organic bread, brings together farmers, activists, researchers to talk about critical food issues.
At one of the sessions Mr. Kass spoke about the high levels of fat and sugar in school lunches and the need for change.
Walter Scheib, former White House chef for the Clintons and Bushes, said the decision to bring Mr. Kass to the White House to fill an open slot is "a master stroke." It's a tremendous resource for Cris, he said, a reference to Ms. Cristeta Comerford, the executive chef who became the first woman in that job when she was appointed in 2005.
"This will make her job much easier because she will understand better and faster what they like," he said. "She doesn't have to spend months reading the tea leaves."
Other administrations have found ways to have their favorite foods in the White House. Nancy Reagan preferred the cooking of one of the White House chefs, Frank Ruta, and plucked him from the kitchen to cook in the family quarters. Mr. Ruta now owns Palena in Washington.
The Johnsons brought their family cook of 21 years with them from Texas. The cook, Zephyr Wright, made the southern food the Johnsons preferred and was famous for her tapioca pudding, one of Johnson's favorites.

White House Executive Chef's
René Verdon 1961–1965
Henry Haller 1966–1987
Jon Hill 1987–1988
Hans Raffert 1988–1990
Pierre Chambrin 1990–1994
Walter Scheib 1994–2005
Cristeta Comerford 2005–present
The Executive Chef officially serves at the president's pleasure but more commonly works with the first lady, and is appointed, or reappointed, by each administration.
The Executive Chef holds no purview over any of the desserts or pastries served at the White House. The executive pastry chef operates as a separate entity, but coordinates with the Executive Chef for all meals and events.
In 2009, Sam joined the White House Kitchen staff under Executive Chef Cris Comerford's leadership as Assistant Chef.

You are just jealous because:
- You don't know anybody who is skilled enough to cook something you can fall in love with.
- If you did, you don't have enough money to pay them to cook for you.
- The President is a man of color
- The Chef position the individual you are squalling about took is an assistant Chef position that was open.

And why does that make him special? You keep bringing that up I don't. Why is that even an issue when someone dislikes something this administration is doing? A good friend of ours, who happens to be black, speaks worse about Obama and this administration than a lot of whites do and he voted for him and is democrat. I'm sorry but being black doesn't make a person infallible.

We went to see The Heat yesterday and I was surprised at how funny it was. Even the extensive use of the f bomb was tolerable because it fit with the character. If you like Sandra Bullock, go see this movie.

I really want to see that. I also want to see "Identity Thief". Mainly because my daughter says that the actress ( same one that played opposite Bullock) reminds her of me personality-wise in the later movie. :biggrin: I've gotta see this. lol
My wife and I saw that movie and it really IS a funny movie.........the two stars have a lot of "chemistry" between them....a sequel is on its way, I'm sure. :yes:
I think the woman who plays opposite Ms. Bullock is the one who plays Molly on Mike and Molly on tv. Can't remember her name. I would like to see White House Down next.

Her name is Melissa McCarthy. She plays Molly in the show "Mike & Molly". She is also the cousin of super model Jenny McCarthy.

Sort of ... let me give y'all some advice. Before you die, get with your children and give them everything of importance. Then get rid of everything else. Don't make your kids have to go through cleaning out your house after you die.

Excellent advice. I hope everybody's still speaking to each other. When my mother passed away, two of my sisters disagreed about who should get what. I never dreamed that could happen to us.
When I mentioned it to a psychologist friend, he said, "People grieve in different ways."

Oh hell. . . Unfortunately I had to go through this twice. It sucks, it tears families apart, and can start the grieving process all over again. . .
I chose NOT to fight my family in the case of the estates of my parents. I took one item of my fathers that carried the deepest and best memories of him for me, and then just became a robot; carrying out things to the various piles; none of which were mine.
I don't regret it, but I do regret that my parents chose not to consider my advice and leave everything to their children to figure out. . .
In hindsight I suppose they did that because of all the legal wrangling the trust estates of their parents resulted in. It still sucks though.
My deepest sympathies are with you and your family over what you have had to deal with. It is very hard to lose a parent, and emotionally harder to deal with the animosity and chaos that results. . . :'(

Thanks, my friends! But trust me on this. My brothers and I are closer than ever. All the major stuff was covered in the will. It's all the little stuff that made it difficult. Not because of any animosity or chaos among us boys, but because we had to go through all the mountains of stuff that a person naturally accumulates over a lifetime and decide what was junk and what was treasure.

My MIL has accumulated so much "Crap" (for a lack of a better term) over her 90 plus years...it is going to be an event to get rid of it all .... but, she is still kicking and doing well, and it makes her happy to have her "stuff". I guess we will just deal with it when that time comes.
Glad that you and your brother still have a great relationship, that makes it much easier when you have to go through something like that.
All the time...

He is indeed a man whom I admired deeply. He was a great man on and off the field. He was the epitome of what an athlete should be. His son Jarrett is turning out to be quite a man too.
The year Walter died was only a few weeks after my Mom died...........and then a couple of weeks after he died, my dog, Sammy died. It was a horrible year for me.

That thing reminds me of what I think are called wood crickets. They have a round body and long legs and seem to jump toward people. I almost think of them as friendly little aliens (old sci-fi story) so try not to hurt them, but ... don't know if I've told this story here or not:
I was in my home alone, on the lower level shutting everything down before going to bed, when I saw one of those things and tried to put a glass over it so it wouldn't jump on me, but I missed and it disappeared. I went upstairs to my bedroom and felt an itchy place on my left shoulder and reached up to scratch it -- and realized that darned thing had somehow gotten under my gown and all the way up to my shoulder without me realizing it. :eek: :eek: I think I screamed, but I know for sure that was the fastest I've ever in my life gotten naked!
Jesus and Satan are having a conversation...
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering.
Finally God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on and each of them restarted their computers.
Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate.
"Wait! He cheated, how did he do it?"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

Don't Believe in Hell?
A young lady came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, "Jeff proposed to me an hour ago."
"Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked.
"Because he also told me he was an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a hell."
Her mother replied, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

Baseball Bribe
A married woman is having an affair. Whenever her lover comes over, she puts her nine-year-old son in the closet.
One day the woman hears a car in the driveway and puts her lover in the closet, as well.
Inside the closet, the little boy says, "It's dark in here, isn't it?"
"Yes it is," the man replies.
"You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks.
"No thanks," the man replies.
"I think you do want to buy a baseball," the little extortionist continues.
"OK. How much?" the man replies after considering the position he is in.
"Twenty-five dollars," the little boy replies. "TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!" the man repeats incredulously, but complies to protect his hidden position.
The following week, the lover is visiting the woman again when she hears a car in the driveway and, again, places her lover in the closet with her little boy.
"It's dark in here, isn't it?" the boy starts off.
"Yes it is," replies the man.
"Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks.
"OK. How much?" the hiding lover responds, acknowledging his disadvantage.
"Fifty dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is completed.
The next weekend, the little boy's father says "Hey, son. Go get your ball and glove and we'll play some catch."
"I can't. I sold them," replies the little boy.
"How much did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to hear the profit in terms of lizards and candy.
"Seventy-five dollars," the little boy says.
"SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?! That's thievery! I'm taking you to the church right now. You must confess your sin and ask for forgiveness", the father explains as he hauls the child away.
At the church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws the curtain, sits down, and says "It's dark in here, isn't it?"
"Don't you start that shit in here," the priest says.

Annoying Boy on Bus

The driver gets annoyed as the kids continues to yammer on. "If my dad was an rooster and my mom a hen, I would be a little chick."
The kid goes on and on with all the animals he knows, when finally, the bus driver yells, "What if your dad was a bum and your mom was a drunk?"
The kid smiles and says, "I'd be a bus driver."

Not wanting to make a mistake, she phones her doctor and asks him the exact location of the heart. He tells her that the heart is located two inches below the left nipple.

Little Johnny... Definite Definition
The preschool teacher says, "We're going to do vocabulary today. Who can use the word 'definitely' in a sentence?"
Mary raises her hand and exclaims, "Me me me!"
The teacher says, "Go ahead, what's the sentence?
Mary replies, "The sky is definitely blue."
"That's good, Mary," says the teacher, "but the sky can also be gray or white."
Sam raises his hand and states, "Grass is definitely green."
The teacher says, "That's good, Sam, but grass can be brown, too."
Little Johnny raises his hand and asks, "Do farts have lumps in them?"
The teacher says, "No Johnny, why do you ask that?"
Little Johnny replies, "Well, then I definitely sh*t my pants."

Devil in the Church
One Sunday morning, Satan appeared before a small town congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front church door, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away.
Soon, everyone was gone, except for an elderly gentleman who sat calmly. Satan walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
Satan asked, "Aren't you going to run?"
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
Perturbed, Satan asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years."

Random acts of kindness:
Today was not one of my better days. I wore something pink to make me feel better, but I still felt kinda out of sync. Decided to go by the local post office and drop off the bills I'd just paid. I parked and walked, deep in thought, toward the PO and noticed, as I got almost to the door, that there was a man to my right walking toward it also. He got there first, and opened the door and waited for me go in. I smiled and said, "thank you, sir," and he replied, "My pleasure, darlin'," with a smile. We walked in and I went toward the mail drop slot while he walked to the door to the area where people were standing in line -- a long line that extended outside the door. I put my mail in the slot and turned to go, and there he was, standing there with a smile, and asked if I had a stamp I'd sell him so he wouldn't have to wait in that line (he had one letter in his hand). I said yes, but I wouldn't sell it -- that he was welcome to it. He said, "Thank you, darlin' " and I think that time I blushed :smile:
And two strangers walked out to their own cars and drove away with smiles on their faces.

A Lesson in Government
A teacher was teaching her second grade class about the government, so for homework that one day, she told her her students to ask their parents what the government is.
When Little Johnny got home that day, he went up to his dad and ask his what the government was.
His dad thought for a while and answered, ''Look at it this way: I'm the president, your mom is Congress, your maid is the work force, you are the people and your baby brother is the future.''
''I still don't get it'' responded the Little Johnny.
''Why don't you sleep on it then? Maybe you'll understand it better,'' said the dad.
''Okay then...good night'' said Little Jonny went off to bed.
In the middle of the night, Little Johnny was awakened by his baby brother's crying. He went to his baby brother's crib and found that his baby brother had taken a crap in his diaper.
So Little Johnny went to his parent's room to get help.
When he got to his parent's bedroom, he looked through the keyhole to check if his parents were asleep.
Through the keyhole he saw his mom loudly snoring, but his dad wasn't there.
So he went to the maid's room.
When he looked through the maid's room keyhole, he saw his dad having sex with his maid.
Little Johnny was surprised, but then he just realized something and thinks aloud, ''OH!! Now I understand the government!
The President is screwing the work force, Congress is fast asleep, nobody cares about the people, and the future is full of shit!''

We're grilling out, enjoying the warm night air and waiting for ghosts and goblins (do they make goblins anymore? Wait, what IS a goblin? :think:)
A goblin is a legendary evil or mischievous creature; a grotesquely evil or evil-like phantom.
They are attributed with various (sometimes conflicting) abilities, temperaments and appearances depending on the story and country of origin. In some cases, goblins have been classified as constantly annoying little creatures somewhat related to the brownie and gnome. They are usually depicted as small, sometimes only a few inches tall, sometimes the size of a dwarf. They also often are said to possess various magical abilities. They are also very greedy and love money.
Holy hell. I am a goblin! :eek:
:biggrin: no way! The "greedy" part eliminated you!

I feel your pain man. ;D It probably cost his coworkers some productivity today as well.
Beautiful?
A lawyer was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side.
His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful!" and then he fell asleep again.
His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side.
A couple of minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute!".
Well, the wife was dissappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was "cute."
She asked, "What happened to 'beautiful'?"
His reply was "The drugs are wearing off!"
:biggrin:

LOL! Don'tcha' love it! Those computers, networks, etc. are only as secure as the stupidest person who has more privileges than s/he is competent to handle. Hard to tell a boss he's an idiot though. :wink:
Close Enough For Government
Three young boys were fighting over whose dad was the best:
"My dad is so good he can shoot an arrow, run after it, get in front of it, and catch it in his bare hands."
"My dad is so good that he can shoot a gun, run after the bullet, get in front of it and catch it in his bare hands."
"I've got you both beat. My dad's so good because he works for the city. He gets off work at 5:00 and is home by 4:30."
:biggrin:
My granddaughter and her boyfriend were walking around town taking in the sights when man began following them. He looked like maybe he was homeless. He kept following them, not really approaching them, just following. Finally, boyfiend asked him if anything was wrong. The man pointed to my granddaughter and said she has two angels following her, so I am following her too. He said it was a boy and a girl, not children but not adults either. My granddaughter thinks it was her brother and sister, boyfriend thinks the guy was crazy. I'm nor sure what to think.
Crazy.
Bill Gates in Hell
Bill Gates goes to purgatory.
St. Peter says, "Now Bill, you have done some good things, and you have done some bad things. Now I am going to let you decide where you want to go".
First, St. Peter shows Bill an image of Hell with beautiful women running on beaches. Then, St Peter shows Bill an image of Heaven with robed angels playing harps on clouds.
Bill chooses Hell.
About a week later, St. Peter checks in on Bill in Hell and finds him being whipped by demons.
Bill says to St. Peter, "What happened to all the beautiful women and the beaches?"
St. Peter replies, "That was just the screen saver."

Yeah. What he said! :biggrin:
I know I watch too much TV but I have been watching some of CSpan's series on the First Ladies. It has been very interesting. Last night was Woodrow Wilson's wives. It is on 9 pm weeknights. I also caught Animal Planet's show on mermaids, that was interesting, too. I rarely watch either of those channels so those two shows were a pleasant surprise.
Christian Drugs
Jesus was worried about the drug epidemic plaguing the world. In an effort to solve this dilemma, he decided that a few apostles would return to earth and fetch a sample of each drug, so they could understand what these substances did.
Two days after the operation is implemented, the disciples begin to return. Jesus, waiting at the door, lets in each disciple: "Who is it?" "It's Mark" Jesus opens the door. "What did you bring Mark?" "Marijuana from Colombia" "Very well son, come in."
Another soft knock is heard. "Who is it?" "It's Matthew" Jesus opens the door. "What did you bring Matthew?" "Cocaine from Bolivia" "Very well son, come in."
At the next knock Jesus asks, "Who is it?" "It's John" Jesus opens the door. "What did you bring John?" "Crack from New York" "Very well son, come in."
Someone starts pounding on the door. "Who is it?" "It's Judas" Jesus opens the door. "What did you bring Judas?" "FREEZE! THIS IS THE FBI!"

Christmas Cop
On Christmas morning, a cop on horseback sits at a traffic light next to a kid on a shiny new bike.
The cop says to the kid, "Nice bike you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?"
The kid says, "Yeah."
The cop says, "Well, next year, tell Santa to put a tail light on that bike."
The cop then issues the kid a $20 bicycle safety violation ticket.
The kid takes the ticket and says, "By the way, that's a nice horse you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?"
Humoring the kid, the cop says, "Yeah, he sure did."
The kid says, "Well, next year tell Santa to put the d**k underneath the horse, instead of on top."

Listening to Joe Bonamassa is making a rather dull day at work, quite enjoyable.............. :yes:
Must be gettin' over that bug. Couldn't sleep I was so hungry so I'm up eating Oatmeal Squares and drinking coffee. Slept most of the last week and a half and didn't have much of an appetite, never ran a fever but felt like crap, still stuffy and have a bit of a cough but feeling almost human again. Hubby's about a day behind me on this so he should be feeling better by Monday.
I finally finished the David McCullough book on John Adams. I learned a lot about Mr. Adams and his wife. Maybe I will read another one of his books later this year. I also read a book by a new author, to me anyway, Home Front by Kristin Hannah. It is about a female helicoptor pilot in the NG who was deployed to Iraq. Lots of info about PTSD in it.

Glad you're feeling better. Sounds like you had the same thing I had for Thanksgiving, except that I had a temperature and had to see a doctor, who gave me an antibiotic, which gave me bad diarrhea, so had to see another doctor .... :(

Thanks Libby. I think I'm pretty much over it and so is hubby. We're still feeling more tired than usual but I guess that's to be expected. I'm just glad we didn't get it as bad as some I've heard about.
It's days like this that make me appreciate being retired. If you have to be out be careful. Me, I'm going back to bed. :biggrin: :sleepy:

Got brave and ordered a Bob Seger music DVD off of ebay from a place in Spain since you can't find them here and man am I glad I did. It's a great DVD. The one on Amazon said it was taken with a camera phone and was of poor quality and this one is great. If you like Seger this is a must have for sure. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
Watched Olympus Has Fallen tonight. Hope that never really happens, kind of scary. Good movie though. :yes:
Even though I had to spend the majority of my time in a conference, I was able to enjoy some GREAT weather. Mostly in the 80's except for the ONE day I had to goof off, it was 64 degrees and light rain. It still felt great. Got to spend some quality time with my wife, my oldest daughter and #2 son.
I am blessed. :yes:
Glad you enjoyed your trip HH.

Yeah, but I know we are just around the corner to having some great weather. I love spring time in Indiana. Thanks me.
I looked at the Indy weather this morning and it was in the single digits. You guys can keep that stuff. It's sunny and 74 here now. Absolutely perfect weather. :yes:

Snow doesn't bother me, but single digits and minus zero wind chill SUCKS!!! This is the worst winter we have had in several years. Though I love your winters, I don't care much for the summers where you live. Humidity SUCKS! But, we can get it bad here too. Spring and Fall in Indy is the best. The older I get, I understand WHY old folks go south for the winter.
I have access to a home in Sun City Center, basically anytime I want. I am planning on "trying" to take advantage of that this year. BUT, I have a lot on my plate this year and the $$$ only goes so far.

We saw The Monuments Men this afternoon. It was really good. Older actors mostly, Bill Murray and John Goodman were especially good, imo. The movie was long, a little over two hours.

What would the iCar look like? It's fun to dream
NEW YORK (AP) -- Rumors have been swirling since news broke this week of a possible meeting between Apple's top executive for acquisitions and the CEO of electric car maker Tesla.
Citing a person familiar with the matter, The San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday that the get-together between Adrian Perica and Elon Musk took place last spring. The companies haven't commented on the report.
With $158.8 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Apple certainly has the money to buy Tesla, which has a market cap of about $24 billion.
Although a pairing of the two companies is a likely long shot and far off at best, it's kind of fun to think about a car made the company that brought us the iPhone and iPad. Here are a few ideas:
NAME -- There's no question it would be called the iCar. With iPads, iPods and iPhones on the market, do they really have a choice? New models to follow could be called the iCar 2, iCar3, etc. Or the company could just make an iCarS if it didn't feel like making any real changes to the product.
COLOR -- Two words: Space Grey. Of course, there also would be a hard-to-find gold-tone version and a slightly cheaper model featuring a shiny plastic exterior that could come in an array of eye-popping colors.
PLUG -- Whatever it looks like, it's sure to differ from the one Tesla currently uses. After all, Apple can't have drivers re-using their current accessories.
APPS -- The dashboard of a Tesla already looks like a giant iPad. But in addition to the latest version of iOS and Retina display, an Apple version could include apps for podcasts, photos and of course iTunes and iTunes Radio. Want to let your passengers binge watch the second season of "House of Cards" as you blow down the freeway? Just fire up the Netflix app. And Candy Crush Saga would come preinstalled to give you something to do while waiting out traffic jams.
NAVIGATION -- Google Maps? Forget about it. Apple Maps, all the way.
PRICE -- Probably a cut above what a Tesla currently sells for, but cheaper with a two-year agreement. In this case, we're probably talking about a lease that includes a hefty breakup fee if you try to end it early, not to mention the mother-of-all overage charges for driving more minutes than you're allowed.

Stop reading things into my commentary that aren't there. Show me where the term "blue hair" alludes to anything that would be considered exclusionary to one sex or the other. It doesn't, and in fact is intentionally all inclusive. A blue hair is a blue hair; whether it has a kickstand or not!

Don't be so touchy it was said tongue in cheek for pete's sake and was due to having had an older man who could barely see over the wheel do some stupid stunt the day before and another that day when I was out. Not only that usually a person who uses the term "blue hair" is referring to an older woman because that term came about because of older women who went the the beauty shop and their hair, although white, had a blue tint to it.
And most of them (men) have no hair. :)

Huh?????? I made a comment, no big deal just a comment, and you're going berserk about it? What's up with that anyway???? Wouldn't be 'cause you have found yourself in that "blue hair" category would it? Just because we're there doesn't mean we're the stereotypical "blue hair" so take a chill pill and calm down for cryin' out loud. :food24:

Ole' Warren doesn't have much to worry about and is using that for more of a publicity stunt than anything else. The odds of that happening are one in 9.2 quintillion (9,200,000,000,000,000,000). :spooked: I'm quite certain he wouldn't have offered it up if the odds weren't so insurmountable.
It's even less likely given that he has limited the number of contestants who can enter the contest. He has limited it to only the first 10,000,000 people who register for it. Even allowing 10,000,000 in his odds are still at 1.08 X 10^(-12) that anyone will be lucky enough to take his money. His money be safe! :biggrin:

Somewhere there are 16 NCAA basketball fans whose dreams of a $1 billion prize are still alive.
Long-shot wins by Mercer University over perennial powerhouse Duke, University of Dayton over Ohio State, Harvard over Cincinnati and North Dakota State over Oklahoma might have trashed your brackets. But 16 unknown contestants got all four upsets right, along with 16 other games completed through 4:30 p.m. ET Friday.http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/21/news/companies/ncaa-brackets-billion-dollars/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Took Punkinhead to the circus this evening. First time he has ever been to a circus. He was amazed at the white lion and white tigers. :big grin:

That ray gun has bright LED lights that spin and flash VERY brightly. On the way home he was holding the trigger down for long bursts, and a couple of vehicles pulled over because they must have thought we were police or fire! :big grin: It was hilarious. :biggrin:

Nope, pollen count above 10 both Fri and yesterday. I have year round allergies anyway so it doesn't matter a whole lot whether it's warm or below zero. Pollen count is down today:

Cedar is one of the things that set me off and that just started about 4 yrs ago. I hate that too 'cause I love cedar. I can't even burn my cedar incense anymore. :no:

What's real fun is being around someone who has dumped half a bottle of perfume or after shave on, that really sets me off.
It does my husband also. It use to do my late father-in-law. I would never wear strong perfume when I went into his house.

I do. And plenty of them. Along with a whole lot of additional bull-shite paperwork and forms that would keep me in asswipe for a year if it were toilet paper.
I absolutely detest tax time, because it ties me to my home desk for a weekend or two of my time every year. And then there's the writing of the checks. . . :rant:

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead
crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may
have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all
the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely
NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of
paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint
residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact
with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a
cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows
eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of
impending danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could
shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Truck."

You would think so - at least we did when we decided to visit our son. It has only been in the 50's and storming. They say it will be warm by Wed. I hope so. We are in Ft. Worth. Lots of people from KY here this weekend. :)

I worked in my yard all day saturday from 10 am until about 10 pm....did it again sunday from about 2 pm until 8 pm...........raking, picking up sticks, burning them, getting my mower ready for the season..changing oil, charging battery, greasing it, sharpening the blades.
and right now, I am stitting at my desk at work in dire pain. I have NEVER, EVER been this sore in my entire life!! :'( :o :no:

This is very true....it did kind "over-do" it. I was actually having the time of my life. The weather was perfect. My yard was not looking good after this long winter. Limbs, sticks and leaves everywhere. Listening to some music, and raking and cleaning and burning. All good stuff.
I didn't realize how out of shape I was in until I sat down that evening and tried to get up...Worse yet the next morning I though rigor mortis had set in.
I am planning on doing more tuesday or wednesday evening after work. So, maybe this wil all be good.

Make sure that you stretch really well when you finish and your muscles are warm stay hydrated with water (not the kind with hops ;D) and eat a protein based snack within 30 minutes of finishing. Should help.
Yep, what was said about stretching or protein snacks help!

I think about that quite often. It is the motivation for me to START getting my lead out of my behind and begin a regular exercise routine. My wife and I both are realizing how important we start this.
Funny how in my mind, I am STILL 20 something, THEN when I look in the mirror and remember I am NOT that person I once was.
My dad managed to keep fit until his 80's....until Mom passed away. Then he kind of gave up. But he worked in the yard, mowed his lawn, played horseshoes.....I think had Mom still been around, he would be in MUCH better health right now, at the age of 91. His mind is still good, just his legs and hips give him trouble.
Troll, keep an eye on your hips and knee's....if you need them fixed....DO IT. I wished we would have worked on my Dad to do so a few years ago.

Thanks guys! I had a good trip. I got to partake in an actual "philly cheesesteak sandwich"! ... I actually had two. One from a dive in the rough part of Philly called Morenos. It was pretty darn good. Then I went to Tony Lukes in a mall, and it was even better.
I highly recommend if any of you get to Philly.....try one of these things! They are the best. Had one with provolone cheese and one with cheese wiz....both with fried onions. :yes: 8)

I will have to listen to it and I didn't think anyone could beat Bonnie Raitt in her music. I don't watch any of those music so-called shows. Most of them are one hit wonders, except for a few of them- Carrie Underwood has far been the best out of any of those shows, in my honest opinion.

Did you know that in the south, naked has different meanings depending on how you pronounce it?
'Naked' means you have no clothes on.
'Nekkid' means you got no clothes on and you're up to somethin'.
Get nekkid on your anniversary! :biggrin:

Well hell. I missed the fact that Hank and his mate are celebrating 31 years of nesting together! Congrats Hank and wife! And Happy Birthday Ms. Hawk! 8)
I have a TON of respect for anyone that stays married for that amount of time. It represents a lot of very hard work, commitment, dedication, and even more compromise. All rare within a personal relationship these days. It is indeed a milestone to celebrate! :yes:

The dogs in the neighborhood were all barking and we looked across the street and there was a young fox trying to find a place to hide. Wonder if that's what gets them stirred up at night sometimes. Had that big bushy tail stuck straight out and was headed north with a quickness after realizing he wasn't hidden behind the neighbors car or boat.
Remembering my dad and brother this weekend ....
:4th3:
Rolling Thunder will be in Washington, D.C. this weekend, while a lot of locals will be heading to the beaches. Not a good time to be on the road.
I'll stay home and look for a big :yes: meteor shower tonight/tomorrow morning early -- this time I hope. If we get a big one I will kick myself for not planning ahead and getting a room in the Holiday Inn on Waynesboro mountain. Assume it's still there. Stayed there once; big thunderstorm in the middle of the night
Back in town....had a GREAT time with the wife. We traveled 2200 miles, stayed a night in TN. Three nights in Orlando, One night in Savannah GA, One in Mt. Airy NC. Weather was great. Me and the wife ate well, did things at our own pace....no drama. Just relaxed and had a wonderful time.
I am a very blessed man. :yes:
Did I miss any thing BIG while I was gone? :)
What did you do while in Orlando?
My wife LOVES WDW. We went to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom...and chilled pool side.
Sounds like fun. The only problem with all of that is the magic is very expensive. That's one rich mouse. :yes:

My wife has figured out when the best time to go there and how to buy tickets so it is NOT as bad as you would think.
The best time to go there is in the winter time. It's too damn hot to go there any other time. We typically never go there between April and September.

We have been there in Jan, and it IS the best. It did get hot during the afternoon this time, in the 90's, that is when we went back to our hotel and chilled at the pool....went back in the evening and it was perfect.
This was an exception because of her B-Day and our Anniversary.......it really isn't until next month, but it was much cheaper to go when we did, rather than wait until June. We celebrated early.
Nothing wrong with an early celebration to save a few dollars. ;D

Awesome, I went to WDW about 4 years ago on a school field trip. I didn't even have to pay to get it as we did some stuff to get tickets paid for. The joke was that another man took me and it wasn't my husband! Lol!!
We used to go to WDW for free back in the 90's. Our son's in-laws all worked there and they could take so many guests in free each month so when we went down to visit they usually treated us to WDW. New Years Day used to be a great day to go, don't know how it is now. We went in October of 2001 and the park was practically empty by normal standards. We had a great time, didn't wait in line for anything. One time we went, probably in the late 70's when our kids were still to young to go off on their own, and a Japanese family followed us all day. The two children were about the same ages as ours so I guess they thought we knew what we were doing. It got funny after awhile. When we ate anything they ordered the same thing, went to the restroom at the same time, etc.
SEVENTY YEARS AGO TODAY, tens of thousands of American soldiers, sailors and airmen, along with thousands of allied troops, stormed the beaches of Normandy in Operation Overlord....D-Day....and saved the world.
My Dad went through that beach just a few of weeks after this invasion as the 44th infantry division, 44th recon. Nearly 2500 American soldiers died in one day, so soldiers like my Dad could get through that beach and make it to Berlin....and bring Hitler to his knees. My Dad will occasionally and modestly, talk about his experience there.
I have the actual newspaper from the Anderson Bulletin that headlined a picture of my dad and his four brothers, who were ALL in action at the same time, scattered all around the world. They interviewed my Grandma and Grandpa.
My Dad and one of his older brothers are all that are left.
In his mind, it was no big deal. He just did what he was supposed to do.
There are times it hits me, that just how big a "deal" his generation was, and how much of a hero he really was or should I say IS.
They say by the time the 75th anniversary comes around, there probably won't be any of these hero's left. :(

A great tribute to your dad and his generation, HH. It seems most thought they were just doing what was expected, finished the job, came home and built a life, no whining, no complaining, just getting on with life. IMO the are/were the 'greatest generation'.

I love my dog!!! He made me laugh so much last night. He just really wanted my attention and he got it. He was in a crazy mood. As normal we played with a toy of his. I would throw it, and he would bring it back, lay it right next to me...... but then dared me to get before he could. The expressions on his face made me laugh so hard I was crying. He had total concentration. You probably had to be there to get the full impact of my story....
Normally, he lays next to me on the floor when we watch TV....But, last night, he insisted to lay on the couch with me. Actually, ON ME. (He weighs around 70 lbs. ) If I got up, he would bark until I came back....THEN he would be fine.
I took him out for his last potty break of the night, and he insisted we sit on our porch swing. Usually, he is ready to come back in. So, we did. It was hot and muggy, but he was making it all worth while.
This dog has so much personality, he really is one of my best friends. :yes:
What kind of dog is it again?
This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk.
The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he drank champagne and a few bottles of wine at the reception and a quite few glasses of single malt there after.
Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcotest (breath test) him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law why he is going to be arrested.
The Englishman answers with humour: No sir, I do not! But while we're asking questions, do you know that this is a British car and my wife is driving... on the other side???

A lot of them will be deported back to the countries they came from. It is a huge INS nightmare and a lot of these kids are orphans because there parents are dead. They will not be put in foster care more than likely in the U.S. but sent back to the country of their origin.

LOST CHURCHES OF LOUISIANA............
The hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast of our nation were devastating.
It did not spare the houses of worship in and around the area. One of
the local television stations in South Louisiana aired an interview with
a woman from New Orleans .
The interviewer was a woman from a Boston affiliate. She asked the
woman how such total and complete devastation of the churches in the
area had affected their lives?
Without hesitation, the woman replied, "I don't know about all those
other people, But we ain't gone to Churches in years. We gits our
chicken from Popeye's"
The look on the interviewer's face was priceless.

Young Central American migrants' tale of killings, rape shows need for U.S. protection
By Robert McCartney Columnist August 20 at 6:15 PM
The most distressing part of listening to three young Salvadoran siblings describe the horrific violence that led them to flee their country in the spring and join their mother in Prince George's County was, perhaps, their matter-of-fact attitude.
The wiry 15-year-old boy, recalling how his friend Carlos was killed and his body mutilated by a gang that he refused to join, said with a small shrug, "He was just like me. He didn't want to get in trouble."
The boy's twin sister described without emotion seeing a classmate's photograph in "missing" posters at her school in El Salvador's capital, San Salvador.
"A month-and-a-half later, he was found dead," she said.
The twins' older sister, 18, with long hair and braces on her teeth, recalled that her math teacher was murdered after he publicly criticized the gangs.
"One day he was driving home from school, and they killed him," she said simply.
Then there was the ordeal of their 20-year-old sister. She crossed the Rio Grande on a raft with her three siblings on April 28 but is still being held by federal immigration authorities at the West Texas Detention Facility.
The family's troubles with the gangs began in 2010 when the oldest sister was raped after refusing to become the girlfriend of a member of the 18 Street gang.
Soon afterward, gang members demanded $2,000 from the four children, who were living alone after their father fell ill.
The eldest called her mother in suburban Maryland and said the gang members told her, "It will be very easy for us to get four bullets, one for each of you."
Such a climate of fear and intimidation would harden anyone's feelings, force anyone to adopt a blase demeanor in emotional self-defense.
It also explains why the youths were willing to risk the dangerous 15-day trip through Guatemala and Mexico by bus and on foot to the United States.
Our national debate over immigration features a continual tug of war over whether the new arrivals are fleeing brutality and abuse in their home countries or are merely trying to get ahead economically.
If it's just about money, then sympathy is slight. If children are trying to avoid being killed or sexually abused, however, then the public is more compassionate.
The Salvadoran family's experience shows how many of the young Central Americans at the focus of the current immigration crisis are effectively refugees from violence and deserve our protection.
The three siblings and their mother offered their story in a group interview at the headquarters of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington. They spoke on condition that none of the children would be identified by name, because the mother, 37, whose middle name is Yesenia, is in the country without papers.
"Unfortunately, polls show the [U.S.] public thinks that these kids should be deported, because they have someplace safe to go at home," Michelle Mendez, senior managing attorney for Catholic Charities in the District, said.
"That's absolutely not true, based on what we're hearing and seeing," Mendez said. Noting that Central American countries are small, she said, "There's really nowhere to run."
In addition, many youths have a legal right to remain in the United States, providing they can avoid deportation long enough to traverse the tortuous process of applying to stay.
Mendez, who is advising the Salvadoran family, said she believes all four qualify for long-term legal residence, either under a special immigrant status for juveniles or under the right to asylum.
Mendez and her colleagues see scores of such cases, partly because so many child migrants are coming to our region now because of the large local population of Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans.
The four Salvadoran youths would have preferred to stay in their home country, where the eldest daughter was studying to be an architect.
"She didn't want to come here — she wanted to be a professional," Yesenia said.
They ultimately decided to leave when the MS-13 gang, a.k.a. Mara Salvatrucha, began pressuring the son to join and demanded that he store guns and drugs in the house. He stopped going to school, to avoid encountering gang members.

The following is from today's Washington Post. It got a LOT of responses -- which I did not read. It's one family's story of why young people of all ages are willing to make the trip here. Prince George's County is in Maryland, in close proximity to Washington, D.C.
Young Central American migrants' tale of killings, rape shows need for U.S. protection
By Robert McCartney Columnist August 20 at 6:15 PM
The most distressing part of listening to three young Salvadoran siblings describe the horrific violence that led them to flee their country in the spring and join their mother in Prince George's County was, perhaps, their matter-of-fact attitude.
The wiry 15-year-old boy, recalling how his friend Carlos was killed and his body mutilated by a gang that he refused to join, said with a small shrug, "He was just like me. He didn't want to get in trouble."
The boy's twin sister described without emotion seeing a classmate's photograph in "missing" posters at her school in El Salvador's capital, San Salvador.
"A month-and-a-half later, he was found dead," she said.
The twins' older sister, 18, with long hair and braces on her teeth, recalled that her math teacher was murdered after he publicly criticized the gangs.
"One day he was driving home from school, and they killed him," she said simply.
Then there was the ordeal of their 20-year-old sister. She crossed the Rio Grande on a raft with her three siblings on April 28 but is still being held by federal immigration authorities at the West Texas Detention Facility.
The family's troubles with the gangs began in 2010 when the oldest sister was raped after refusing to become the girlfriend of a member of the 18 Street gang.
Soon afterward, gang members demanded $2,000 from the four children, who were living alone after their father fell ill.
The eldest called her mother in suburban Maryland and said the gang members told her, "It will be very easy for us to get four bullets, one for each of you."
Such a climate of fear and intimidation would harden anyone's feelings, force anyone to adopt a blase demeanor in emotional self-defense.
It also explains why the youths were willing to risk the dangerous 15-day trip through Guatemala and Mexico by bus and on foot to the United States.
Our national debate over immigration features a continual tug of war over whether the new arrivals are fleeing brutality and abuse in their home countries or are merely trying to get ahead economically.
If it's just about money, then sympathy is slight. If children are trying to avoid being killed or sexually abused, however, then the public is more compassionate.
The Salvadoran family's experience shows how many of the young Central Americans at the focus of the current immigration crisis are effectively refugees from violence and deserve our protection.
The three siblings and their mother offered their story in a group interview at the headquarters of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington. They spoke on condition that none of the children would be identified by name, because the mother, 37, whose middle name is Yesenia, is in the country without papers.
"Unfortunately, polls show the [U.S.] public thinks that these kids should be deported, because they have someplace safe to go at home," Michelle Mendez, senior managing attorney for Catholic Charities in the District, said.
"That's absolutely not true, based on what we're hearing and seeing," Mendez said. Noting that Central American countries are small, she said, "There's really nowhere to run."
In addition, many youths have a legal right to remain in the United States, providing they can avoid deportation long enough to traverse the tortuous process of applying to stay.
Mendez, who is advising the Salvadoran family, said she believes all four qualify for long-term legal residence, either under a special immigrant status for juveniles or under the right to asylum.
Mendez and her colleagues see scores of such cases, partly because so many child migrants are coming to our region now because of the large local population of Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans.
The four Salvadoran youths would have preferred to stay in their home country, where the eldest daughter was studying to be an architect.
"She didn't want to come here — she wanted to be a professional," Yesenia said.
They ultimately decided to leave when the MS-13 gang, a.k.a. Mara Salvatrucha, began pressuring the son to join and demanded that he store guns and drugs in the house. He stopped going to school, to avoid encountering gang members.
"There's a point at which you can't say 'no,' " he said. "I was scared."

I am sorry for you and her parents loss. :'( My aunt lost her son at about the same age. He went out to get the mail from the mail box across the highway and he was hit by a big truck. My aunt heard the squeal of the tires and ran out and seen him under it's dual wheels. She was never the same. I can feel for all of you people who have suffered these losses. :'( :'(

That is terrible also. I had a çousin who was killed when he was 18 by a drunk driver. The drunk walked away and I always heard that God takes care of drunks and fools and nothing worse than a drunken fool. My aunt has never been the same since then either.

I don't. That's slightly too hot for me for the winter months. The good news is that it's supposed to cool down a bit by Thanksgiving and only be around 71-73 as a high. That's my kind of winter weather.

I lived in Jacksonville for about a year, and it seemed like I spent most of that time fighting the bugs. That's when I learned you could buy floor wax with insect repellent. It seemed like those big roaches were everywhere :eek: At first I didn't know what they were. Had never seen one. Somebody with a sense of humor told me they were June Bugs. In the hospital where my son was born (NAS), I had a really nice room, but when the aide brought me my breakfast the next morning and removed the cover, there was a big roach crawling across the food. She flipped it off without a word, and left. And I was so hungry that I ate everything. :rolleyes:
It's the same way in Texas by the gulf. You can't get away from them and they are huge.

Thanks everyone. It was a short cruise, four days, we were at Freeport and Nassau with one full day at sea. Our son and his wife, our daughter, five of the grandchildren, one great granddaughter, two cousins and our son's mother in law all came. We all had a great time, played the games, some did karaoke, played mini golf and ate and ate and ate. Grandson number 4 found out he likes alligator fritters and number 5 likes oysters on the half shell. After the cruise we went home with our cousins to Ft. Myers for a few days and saw a few more cousins. Altogether a great time.

sounds wonderful
Gonna stick the bread in the oven in just a few, yes I cheated and got frozen, and that should top it off. I sneaked a taste when I checked on it a while ago and it is truly yummy. :yes: :yes:
Then you should post the recipe in the recipes area. :razz: ;D
There really is no recipe. I just brown the beef which I cut into chunks, make a brown gravy, and throw veggies & 'taters in then stick it in the oven. It's just one of those one pot put whatever you want to in it things. You do have to keep an eye on it through out the day though so it doesn't boil dry. If you have to add much water, which I've had to at times, I just make a thickener on top of the stove and add it at some point 'cause we like thick gravy rather than thin.

Last word
A motorcycle police officer stops a driver for shooting through a red light.
The driver is a real bastard, steps out of his car and comes striding toward
the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!
So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation.The motorist instantly
goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sex orientation, etc., in
rather explicit offensive terms.
The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything. When the officer
finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the
narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it tothe 'violator' for his
signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his
copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.
The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're
an asshole!"
Two months later they're in court.The 'violator' has a bad driving record with
a high number of points and is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a
lawyer to represent him.
On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light.
Under cross examination the defense attorney asks;"Officer is this a
reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"
Officer responds, "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and
mine, same number at the top."
Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you
don't normally make?"
"Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined."
"What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"
"Aggressive and hostile, Sir."
"Aggressive and hostile?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for asshole?"
"Well, sir, you know your client better than I do."
How often can one get an attorney to convict his own client?

I imagine that we only learn a fraction of such cases. In any event, this post speaks volumes about the warped values wrought by the "war on terror." Really, it's all about power. But I happen to live in the area. I'm aware there are set rules that apply to such circumstances. In all probability, the union will protect him. I mean, unless the Pentagon stays involved. Anyway, I wish the teacher speedy closure on this issue, with a positive outcome.
P.S. I've read all the comments. Man, are we a bunch of radicals, or what?

I just googled it and all I saw was jokes poked back at it. Well, a few lib's got their panties in a bunch 'cause they thought it was a poke at Obama. I think you'd better go read that stuff again. :wink:
So which is it? All you saw was jokes - or you saw one?
I saw several but I'm not going to waste my time leading you by the hand.

I meant I saw the one you posted. I read over half way down the page at most of the comments and didn't see any others but did see several libs pissed off at it 'cause they took offense thinking it to be a slam on Obama which is just as stupid. It's funny, it's a joke, lighten up and quit looking for something to :stirthepot: with.

Who do you think was trying to stir the pot? The person who posted or the people who reacted to it?
If somebody made a cruel joke about how fat you are and you reacted negatively, who is trying to stir the pot?

You for making such a big deal over it. This was not about a person it was about a situation and it was not in the least cruel.

American Sniper, an excellent flick! A great story of a great American! Chris Kyle! Many moist eyes walking out of the theater.
I highly recommend. Not a dull moment in the movie.

I want to go see it. Lone Survivor is a great book and movie, No Easy Day is a good read also! I was suppose to have met Marcus Luttrell a few years ago but he had to cancel his speech as he got sick!

Hahaha, PH!
BIOLOGY EXAM :
Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam.
The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.
The question was worth 70 points or none at all.
One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. However, he wrote:
1) It is perfect formula for the child.
2) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6) It is always available as needed.
And then the student was stuck.
Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote:
7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it.
He got an A.

I was thinkin' about goin' out to get a new monitor for my 'puter since mine bit the dust yesterday but I think maybe I'll just keep using my laptop for now and not go out again today. It's ccccoooollllldddd out there. :cold:
I'm trying to decide if it is worth going out to breakfast. The car is in the garage so it isn't too cold and it is only a few steps from the car to the restaurant, mmm. Wonder if I can convince hubby it is a good idea?
Yeah, I'm back on my pc with a new monitor. :dance: :clap: :hamster: A huge thanks to the person who saved me a few years ago by giving me the one he had to replace the one that went out at that time. It gave me many years of good service and I appreciate it greatly.
Well starting about 7am, my wife and I will be braving the elements to head south to Orlando as I will be attending a conference for my work. The wife is tagging along for some r and r.
If we can make it out of this state, I think we can make it..... Heading off for some shut eye before our long journey.

Coming on down to my home state? ;D
It's warm today. 81 degrees. Not sure what it is in Orlando, though, as that's about 220 miles north of me.
Looks like 78 degrees and sunny right now. ;D
My wife and I made it, but it was a struggle. When we left Saturday morning it was 18 degrees and about four to five inches of snow. It took us five hours to what normally it would have been two. Faced snow, ice, high winds, heavy rain and fog the first day. We got here yesterday to sunshine and 84 degrees!
I have meetings and classes to take the next three days but plan on having a couple of days of fun with my wife towards the end of the week. I can get used to living down here pretty quick! It is gorgeous out right now!
Glad you made it safely. Enjoy your stay and bring some of that warm air back with you please.

Sitting through a speaker presentation, then off to a class regarding Dara Centers, meanwhile the temp outside is 70........it is hard to get motivated about work, but I am fortunate to have an employer who wants to invest in me....so I gotta get back to it.😀
25 years! One company! My 30 year IT career is winding down with less than a year to go! I have started an exit document and am gradually training and passing on responsibilities! The best part is I am no longer on-call 24/7/365. No more 3:00 AM calls!!!! And now I only carry one phone. For years, the company insisted that I carry their company phone (a red Samsung Juke :rant:)
I won't miss this job at all. AS much as I love it, the pressure is just overwhelming at times.
Congratulations!! And I know the feeling of being on call all the time.
Congrats Bo! I don't have many 3:00 am phone calls, but get the occasional evening and weekend call, by one of my technicians.
I have been in this industry for 25 years as of last month, and with my current company for going on 15. I still have another 10 years plus until my glory days kick in....unless my 92 year old Dad hits the lottery. I don't play it, but he does. He says he is going to hit it for me, but God-love him, time is running out. :spooked: :razz: So, I'm not holding my breath.
Bo, do you have any big plans?

I sincerely wish you the very best in your well earned retirement! I am envious, but seeing someone like you get to the finish line with fuel still in the tank, gives me great hope!

This is really neat! A video of a motorcycle trip.
At precisely the 9:15 mark, you can see the spot on the left where I was born (Abb's Valley, VA). The old house is long gone so it's just an empty lot now.

Pretty cool, Bo D.
Whew! Just took the trip through Abbs Valley and Pocahontas. Every few years I go that way just for the heck of it -- with friends and/or family -- but never on a motorcycle. My dad once worked in Pocahontas. It's a shame what has happened to the once thriving little town.

Don't forget Horsepen! It's called that because the Indians used that place to keep the horses penned up. The mountains were so steep on both sides that all they had to do was fence in the ends. You can see it a little bit of what I mean as the bike starts its climb up into Abb's Valley at around the 5:00 minute mark.
Goin' back to that area next week. It'll feel good to get some slanted ground under my feet! :biggrin:
I'm jealous. Haven't been back home for almost 2 years. Didn't go back last year. Wanted to, but too much goin' on. As for Horsepen, the area looked familiar -- just didn't realize it was Horsepen. Those upward curves are the kind that somebody once described as having to downshift in the middle of the turn.
I love those straight up and down mountains -- that's how my son described them. He said he thought they were depressing. I never felt that way. There was a steep hill behind our house, and my sisters and I used to wander up and down and around during the summer. Barefooted. There was one big flat rock on top, and I used to lie on my back and look up through the leaves at the sky.
Ole' Duke loves ridin' across Peeled Chesnut down into "Pocy" through the Valley onto Horsepen and over Stony Ridge and into Tazewell. I have navigated those roads many times on various steel horses I have owned over the years and each time I enjoy the ride immensely.

That is good! They announced on the news tonight that Vanderbilt Hospital is really pushing for more states to have helmet laws. Illinois, I believe is pushing for helmet laws based on certain ages!!

Just like seat belts - and drugs, sex, prostitution, etc. -, helmets should be a personal decision.
Those decisions are based on the simple concept of rights which proceed from that question of "do you own yourself?"

I think it should be up to insurance companies. If you have an accident and receive a head injury by not wearing a helmet, then an insurance company should have the right to not pay for it. Leave the law out of it.

I vigorously disagree. We've already seen how insurance companies handle such things with the whole healthcare debacle brought to us via deregulation legislation.
They already are canceling homeowners insurance based upon the breed of dog you own, whether or not that dog has had any "incidents". Next they'll be canceling your healthcare over your sexual orientation or some other nefarious reason.
The decision I make is mine to make, and no one else's. Period.

Yes I have Bo D and it is a great ride for sure. Heck sometimes I go through the valley and head to Bradshaw and the War area back towards Welch, cross through Skygusty across 14 back towards the Valley and across 8 mountain into Jenkinjones. Those twisties will tighten up the arse for sure.

Quantum computer kit announced – Save over $10,000,000!
Stim Inc. released stunning news today, April 1st, of their HAL 8800 quantum computer kit. This is the first quantum computer (QC) available to the general public, as well as the first QC kit. The base price is an unbelievably low $397! (plus shipping & handling)
(http://www.edn.com/ContentEETimes/Images/01MDunn/Altair_8800_at_the_Computer_History_Museum%20Todd%20Daileyfinal.jpg)
The HAL 8800 uses the newly announced Lentil 8080 8-qubit processor. The 8080, while not quite as fast as commercial models, runs at two quantum state collapses per second (QSCPS), which is more than enough for hobbyist use. The machine can be overclocked however: liquid nitrogen cooling will increase speed to 20 QSCPS, as well as reduce the number of cycles needed to reach a high degree of confidence in one's results, while simply placing the computer in your freezer will typically raise the speed to 3.7 QSCPS (4.6 QSCPS for a deep-freeze).
Stim expects a vibrant user community and ecosystem to form around the HAL 8800, which should lead to innovative hardware and software developments. Already available are a Holotype HSR-33 user console, a 4TB 450fs RAM board, Nanosoft 4TB BASIC, and a cassette interface. Expansion boards use the Q-100 bus. The base HAL model can be programmed using either the toggle switch front-panel, or the high-level "HAL eye" interface, which makes the system very user-friendly, even for those with no QC experience.

Uh ... I like to know how things work -- from the bottom up, inside out -- and every time I read something with the word "quantum" in it, I think of this:
Making Waves
I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will go down the drain into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.

Sorry, Libby. That was my April Fools post for the day (and not a very good one at that.) I guess very few people would catch on that that was the HAL computer from the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey.'
The rest of the text in the article was written to make it sound like it was a recent technology breakthrough.

Sorry, Libby. That was my April Fools post for the day (and not a very good one at that.) I guess very few people would catch on that that was the HAL computer from the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey.'
The rest of the text in the article was written to make it sound like it was a recent technology breakthrough.

You can't slide 'HAL' past us old folks, Bo! :biggrin:
...BUT, it's possible to slide a philosophical question about 'rights' past certain people! :rotfl:
Quote from: Y on March 24, 2015, 04:42:14 PM
Just like seat belts - and drugs, sex, prostitution, etc. -, helmets should be a personal decision.
Those decisions are based on the simple concept of rights which proceed from that question of "do you own yourself?"

Very cool. My 93 year old uncle passed away this week, and my cousin has shared some very, very old pictures that my uncle had of HIS grandparents, some of my dad when he was very young....it is so much fun to look at them.

Fifty years ago today marks a historical day in Indiana history
Brian Wilkes
IMPORTANT DATE: April 11, 1965 - 50 years ago today the deadliest tornado outbreak in state history occurred.
137 Hoosiers died as a swarm of tornadoes raked the state. 10 tornadoes across 18 counties in only a matter of a few hours.
37 Tornadoes would touch down in 6 states that day killing 258 and injuring 3000.
The historical image of the twin F4 tornadoes that struck the Midway trailer park near Dunlap was photographed by the late Elkhart Truth photographer Paul Huffman.
A 800 yard wide tornado would kill 25 near Kokomo. 84 people would die in Elkhart County alone.
Weather radar was space in 1965 and the then US Weather Bureau relied on information from Chicago and its radar. The tornado reports were so numerous that for the first and only time in US history a blanket tornado warning was issued.
Following that deadly tornado outbreak, the National Weather Service underwent changes to improve severe weather forecasts and warnings, including establishing the Watch and Warning Program that exists today and the weather spotter program, SKYWARN.
20 years ago we uncovered vintage film from the basement of Channel 28 WSJV - now our FOX affiliate.
I will be attending a 50 year commemorative ceremony in Elkhart Saturday with many of the family members that lost loved ones that fateful day.
Remember - it is important to have a severe weather plan and be ready to implement it in a moment's notice.
The chilling images and reports from the devastating storms in Illinois Wednesday night is a reminder. Severe weather season is here. Be alert and be prepared.

Well ... you know what they say about a bad day of fishing ....
Last week they had big storms and flooding in the mountains a couple of days before I got there. The big rivers were too high and dangerous to take the boat out on. Even the lake was chocolate milk muddy and full of trash from the floods. In all the years I have been going there I have never seen the lake that bad.
But we went up a little higher in the mountains and found a couple of nice, clear trout streams. It was cold, rainy off and on, and generally miserable, but we caught a whole mess of trout. :biggrin:
Nothing tastes better then fresh trout!

When I was a kid, my dad and uncle took my cousins and me fishing. We lost interest in fishing and started racing empty beer cans down the river. We'd all throw one in and see which one made it to a branch laying on the river first. We couldn't get our cans back so we'd grab new empty ones and race those each time. A ranger busted us and we got in trouble for littering and my dad and uncle for drinking and one of them didn't have a license. My mom was pretty ticked to have to pick us up at the jail. My cousins and I enjoyed it. They fed us and gave us sodas and candy until mom could get there. My dad and uncle didn't seem to enjoy it as much. :biggrin:

I envy you. It's been a long time since I was there, and we camped out. The place daddy took us had a small waterfall close by. We camped out, right by the water, and he cooked the food and made coffee in a bucket. Everybody slept on the ground. I chose the back seat of the car and don't remember sleeping all that much.

This morning at my place of work, started off with all sorts of pandemonium. One fire after another that I had to put out. Had some of my technicians calling upset over one thing after another......after several conversations with various people I seemed to have calmed down this passing set of storms.......so still feeling stressed...I decided to walk down the road to a White Castle...something I rarely eat, but it is about a four block journey and sounded good!! I decided to go for it.
As I walked in, a young black kid, probably 5 years old, dressed in a nice pair of pants, with a vest and a matching shirt (looked like a million dollars) walked up to me, and grabbed my hand. He looked up at me with a beautiful little smile and said "You look like a nice man!"
I melted.....I, told him HE LOOKED like a very nice young man too! He said "Thank you very much!" He gave me another smile that lit up the whole place.....his mother holler for him....I smiled at her and told her he just made my day.......and he DID!
He brought me back down to earth and I feel GREAT right now!!!!!! :yes:

"There's a world of difference between the truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth." Maya Angelou
I like Maya Angelou, but I'm having a tough time with this quote. Facts are facts and therefore the only truth. How can they obscure the truth?
Because just the facts don't always lead to the cause.
Facts can be distorted?

Quote from: Sandy Eggo on June 15, 2015, 03:48:22 PM
I'm not sure that I understand. But my first thought was that facts always support the cause.
Facts and data support root causation only when they are relevant to a subject under consideration. One of the biggest challenges toward revelation of truth can be filtering true facts from factual noise; with the noise typically serving to obscure truth via providing a rat hole within which to get lost.
You explained it much better than I could, thanks, PH.
Example...
Bruce Jenner is a man, not a woman. THAT is a FACT. But he is trying desperately to change the truth. So is the media. But the bottom line is, FACTS are FACTS....he has man-parts. Even removing them, will not change the facts. Changing his name to a woman's name is true, and anybody can change their name....but it STILL doesn't make him a woman.

I'd like to inquire surrounding just how it is that you know he still has a kickstand?
He said on his "interview" that he would never have surgery to turn his gender to that of a woman; then just a few weeks later we see he has indeed had surgery, and it would appear, extensive surgery to do just that!
My point is kickstand or not, he is a man...despite any surgery...he is a man. That is a fact nothing can ever change that.

Here's one for you ...
If you rip saw a 2X4X8 on a standard table saw exactly down the middle, what will be the dimensions of the resulting two pieces?
I think that would be 1 1/2 inches by 1 3/4 inches. Today's 2x4 are actually 1 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. :biggrin:

You are right about today's 2X4's. But you're wrong about the dimensions after sawing. You're forgetting a crucial detail.

you would have two 8' pieces...1 7/16" D x 1 11/16" W providing you had a 1/8" wide blade... :wink:
I think there is still a missing dimension there! :yes:

When I first started building furniture as a hobby, that saw kerf width messed me up more times than I care to admit.
Shouldn't there be a 96" dimension in that answer? :icon_twisted:

My house was built in 1880 and the 2X4 are 2X4 and they are made from maple, walnut, hickory, ash and I even have found some made of cherry. :biggrin: It is made from any wood in the woods around my town. I was told there was a saw mill between Anderson In. and my town and my house was made with green lumber. Just try to drive a nail in to one boards now. :yes: :smile:

I knew it wouldn't be 1 X 2 because I know a 2 X 4 isn't really 2 X 4 but I would have had to get one out and measure it. My dad was a good carpenter and my husband used to do a lot of that type of thing so I have learned from them.

No, it is because standards have changed. In 1960 the standard was one yard of material was 36 inches long and 36 inches wide. The current standard is now 36 inches long and 45 inches wide.
I tried to check that out and couldn't come up with anything which made me wonder if it was a trick question. I haven't done any buying fabric or sewing in decades so I didn't have a clue that bolts had increased in width.
An aside: Where I went to school, boys had to take Home Economics - which besides cooking etc., included sewing - and girls had to take Shop. I still think that's a good idea.
I don't know why or exactly when it changed, maybe just because bigger is better. Some fabric even come 54 inches wide now, mostly upholstery fabrics. You can also get muslin and some quilt backing 108 inches wide. Your fabric lesson for the day. :)

This is something he has been thinking about for a few years now. He has been in and out of school, working different jobs and finally decided that he is ready to take this path.
He is a great young man and I am extremely proud of him.

I want to encourage you to attend his graduation ceremony there. It is an awesome sight to behold,(And there is a nice hotel close by along with a Bass Pro Shop store). It is an emotional time for the recruits and that day is one they remember the rest of their lives.
Encourage him to get his body into early (as in 0-dark-thirty) rise and to start running and working himself up toward 3-5 miles BEFORE boot. That will help him a ton if he can get that cycle established well beforehand.
And tell him to think of a nice name for his "brick". (He will understand that at some point early in his time at Great Lakes.)
If I am not mistaken this will be child number 2 active in the military?

I've had the honor and privilege of working with a number of retired veterans throughout my career; as they began their 2nd careers. Always a pleasure to work with individuals like them, and each and every single one of them became friends that I remain in weekly / daily contact with.
I've also had the honor of hiring a large number of veterans, some peace-time and a number of them from each and every conflict since the Vietnam conflict. Even today I count 7 combat veterans among those I hired for my current employer; and every single one of them remain members of my team despite the fact I moved to a different department 2 years ago. They all bid for and successfully obtained offers to fill openings that took place in my new department within that time frame. 3 of them are veterans of the current conflicts in the middle east- 2 of those 3 are disabled.
These men and women know the meaning of teamwork, dedication, and commitment; and you will not find a more motivated-driven team when it counts a veteran amongst its membership. I am deeply honored that these men chose to continue to remain members of my team. And I mean that with total sincerity.
I hope your son finds it as fulfilling as my own son has; and that he remains safe and sound within whatever length of time he serves our country and wherever he may be deployed.
I also salute you and your family, for I know all too well the sacrifices and stress being a military family can bring. It is
never easy. 8)
A few days ago I went to Barnes and Noble to find a book for a friend, and as usual had trouble getting out of there without buying one or more for myself. It's a big store with a coffee shop on one side, soft music, and more people wandering and looking or sitting and sipping and reading than you would imagine. I was walking slowly and looking at titles when I heard a sound, kinda like tuneless humming, and looked up to see, right in front of me, a smiling young man with the look of retardation on his face, walking beside a pleasant looking woman. And behind them were about eight others; all looked about the same age, with that same happy smile. Each had a hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The last person was a little skinny man who looked much older. I couldn't see his face, because he was bent over at the waist. Another smiling lady brought up the rear. I just stood there smiling back at them, and for an instant I had the feeling that I was in a movie.

Good luck to him. My son was in the USN for 8 years. It was very good for him and his family. The only downside was being gone from his family for long periods of time. What type of work will your son be doing? Mine was on the USSS Maryland. Did his basic and school in Orlando.

I've noticed too that you get less meat per lb because they inject more water and also less content in cans because there is more liquid. But I guess they need to so something or the price would be even higher.

By any chance do you remember the beef shortage we had here in America thirty years or so, ago. They shipped in grass fed beef from Canada, Australia, Argentina. They sold buffalo and beefalo, beef cows breed by buffaloes and those animals were feed with nothing but grass. You surely heard the statement, you are what you eat. Well Brainiac, if you like to eat grass go too it. :doh: I'll spend my money on good old American prime or grade A beef that is grain feed. :rolleyes: :razz:

There is a guy here that raises bison and they are grass fed plus get grain and corn. They taste great! But some people just assume they are all grass fed! I bet that person doesn't realize that some cattle are done only on grass and not grain!
When my father was raising beef cattle, we would only let them have grass and other hay. He tried raising one on corn and other grains and found the beef to be very grainy and fatty, not much meat! He decided after that to go with grass fed beef only!!

I've had a bunch of Bison in my years. The township I lived in Illinois before coming to Hoosierville had an annual "wild-west days" festival and I went every single year specifically for the Bison burgers.
Very lean meat, similar to venison, so once cooked the meat has to be kept warm in an oil bath to prevent it from drying out to the point of resembling jerky. But let me tell you that you will not consume a better burger than one made up of Bison. I would gorge on the stuff
every fall. (Between that and the fall run of salmon I would pack on some weight every damn fall - winter.)
In fact, one of the local burger / hot dog joints eventually included it on their daily menu and I always stop for a couple when I pass through there. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

It's so ironic that a Native American staple was nearly hunted to extinction over it's hide, and not it's meat. Especially one that is so tasty! I would guess that had their hides and heads not been so popular as trophy displays, Bison would have become an "American" staple meat culturally. :yes:
Yep! Get you some bison Bo D. Great burgers and healthier for you than ground beef. There's a restaurant in Jacksonville, FL which specializes in bison. It's called Ted's Montana Grill. According to their website, they also have a location in Alexandria, VA, and at Crystal City in Arlington. Those should be doable for you to try out.
https://www.tedsmontanagrill.com/
There's also one in Indianapolis for any of you up that way.
I have had it. It is okay. Not worth the extra money, in my opinion. But you should give it a try if you get the opportunity.

Hmmm .... I wonder if she's related to George Thorogood?
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" :biggrin:
Long, long ago (when I worked at the hospital) there was a doctor or two who when they had an older person with poor appetite would prescribe a "tonic" (one ounce of whiskey) for them half hour before meals. Those people never missed their "tonic". I often wondered what happened when they went home and found out what they had been taking. :) Some doctors would also have a nursing mother drink one beer a day to help them produce more milk. Never did figure out the connection of that one.
110-Year-Old Woman Credits Longevity to ... Miller High Life?
If you want to live as long as Agnes Fenton, you're going to have to make some lifestyle changes — namely, adding Miller High Life to your diet. (If you already drink Miller High Life on a daily basis, this may be the first time someone's ever told you you're on the right track.)
The Englewood, New Jersey woman, who turned 110-years-old on Saturday, spoke with The Record about being a "supercentarian" and reflected on the art of aging gracefully. After all, she's basically a lifestyle guru — Fenton told ABC in 2005 that she drank three beers and a whiskey every single day for over 70 years on her doctor's recommendation.

A woman I used to work with said when she lived in Pearisburg, VA she worked for the local doctor, and on Fridays, after all the patients had been seen, he would say, "Ok, let's all go out and get drunk and sterilize our guts!"
My Grandfather, (R.I.P.), always looked forward to the annual, end of summer arrival of the rest of my family at the farm. Each year my dad would bring him 4 bottles of "Early Times Whiskey" at the end of summer arrival.
And from that point forward, until the whiskey ran out, my grandfather would awaken each day and go straight into the kitchen to retrieve one bottle of that whiskey. He wold open the cap, and pour himself a shot of it, which he would immediately down; followed by a hot cup of black coffee.
That was his daily routine and he called the whiskey his "tonic".
Grandpa lived to 74 years of age. He also smoked Prince Albert tobacco, which he rolled into cigarettes throughout the day. (Which is what gave him the cancer of which he expired).

Wife and I broke in the new fire pit this evening. . . :smitten:
This is a good day to chill out at home. I went out earlier to pick up a few necessities (like ice cream) and heard on my car radio that there's a 20 mile back-up on I-95 south, beginning at the exit nearest my home, and pretty much the same on Route 1, which runs parallel to I-95.

Age is more than just a number. You have obviously been exposed to more older things than I have, so you are "older."
BTW, I'm 64.
I'll admit to being a history buff in many things. :biggrin:
Yup, I was right, we're the same age. I think I may be a few months older than you, but that's all.
BTW, even though I tend to like my music a little on the rawer side, I admit to really liking the understated groove of the original version of that song. :yes:

I like pretty all music, but I was classically trained (bassoon) so I tend to prefer some complexity in my music.

Since Indiana is presently stuck in the 60's, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that back when the two of you were born it was stuck in a much older period. Hence, Y seems to be "older" because he was indeed exposed to much "older" things and ways of thinking during his formative years.
I'm a bit behind both of you, but given my penchant for absorbing the stories of those much older than me during my own formative years, I too may be somewhat younger than I appear. (Just like the two of you).
We are each products of our environment; not just what we eat, but what we listen to, become interested in, and are exposed to, culturally and environmentally during our formative years. The variances occur based upon our individual preferences and interests, as well as those of the adults that raise us; bringing spice to life, or stupidity depending upon those very same adults. :smile:
So "older" can refer to more than just the years that have passed since our very first breath was drawn. :biggrin:

There are days when I look in the mirror and wonder who the heck that is looking back at me. Days when I notice the crows feet at the corners of my eyes, or when my hair "suddenly" takes on a much lighter shade than the dark, chestnut brown it has always been. . . Conversely, there are days when I look in the mirror and see myself at my physical and mental peak; as I have been for each and every decade within my lifetime thus far.
I have discovered those days are far more frequent as of late. My wife says it is due to the speediness I've magically developed when looking in the mirror. I argue that old bastard in the mirror is a peeping Tom and I keep hoping he'll go away if I refuse to acknowledge his presence. . . or get arrested.
I hate that bastard, so why should I look at him any longer than is actually necessary to ensure his appearance is acceptable and his Johnson isn't hanging out?
I tried to explain to my kids once that when I look at my husband I still see the young, fit man with a full head of hair that I married, not the 70+ balding man with health problems he is now. Hopefully he sees me as I was back then, too. Don't know why that is, I prefer to think it is because I love him, but maybe it is nostalgia. :)
PH, I understand the mirror thing. There is an old lady who pushes her way in front of me when I try to look in the mirror, too.

As a trained and certified Initial Treating Responder (ITR) I was interested to find out that emergency medical information is available to ITR's that find themselves treating an incapacitated iPhone owner; even if the phone is locked.
Click on the health app that comes on the phone, and enter "Emergency Medical Information" into the phone. List health conditions, date of birth, medicines you are taking, both prescribed and over the counter, your blood type, and organ donor status as well. All important information necessary to correctly provide life-saving treatments in those moments when you are unable to relate the information yourself.
And don't count on your spouse being able to rattle all of this stuff off to the ITR's as they prepare to render aid. I can assure you that even the most solid of temperament and constitution usually find themselves rattled to the core as they watch you struggle to maintain your grasp on life.
If your phone has this feature, please use it. It is a risk in today's cyber security society, I know. But I don't mind risking someone knowing what drugs I am on if it means someone that NEEDS to know that information has it readily available in my time of great need. . .
You can even put an emergency phone number(S) into this app, and it will allow the ITR or medical professionals to call them from your phone even if it is locked.
(You may not be comfortable with some or all of this info being readily available like that, but what you enter is up to you. At the very least put in your DOB, medical conditions, and meds. It could save your life!) :yes:
I'll be sharing this with my team tomorrow during our tier meetings. I have several team members that have medical challenges for which they are being treated, and while most, if not all of them, have shared this information with me at one time or another, I wouldn't want to count on my memory to save their life.

Over the top, I guess. The officer probably called someone to help him remove her from the classroom. I saw a couple different videos and she certainly was disruptive and non compliant with the adults. I don't think they should have fired the officer.

I agree. Some of my friends and I were talking about how back in the day, the principal or teacher would bust an ass for acting that way. I know then parents decided that corporal punishment was too much and now we are left with a bunch of spoiled, acting out disrespectful bunch of brats who think that it is abuse if they get a spanking. I spank our kids and although they aren't perfect, their teachers all say they are well mannered and respectful. I have told them that I get a call from the school and I will be up their tearing their asses up.

I'm glad they fired the asshole. The kids called him officer SLAM, does that give you any idea of what a bully he was. He was going to hurt one of the kids really bad like busting their skull open on the concrete floor and I suppose you still wouldn't have wanted him fired. :mad: :mad:

If you watch the video you'll see that she was fighting him and it caused her chair to tip back, he did not throw her to the ground. She was being a brat and deserved what she got.

The kids are coming out in support of him so obviously he was well liked. Seeing the caliber of kids that school resource officers have to deal with he was doing his job. Did he go over board, probably but seeing as how none of us were there, hard to say.
I'm not going to post any links, but on the way to work I heard a commentary about how WE, the United State government, spent nearly 46 million dollars on a gas station in Afghanistan!
It was supposed to be a $500,000 project that ended up spending $46 million on?
It doesn't even have a slurpee machine.... :rant:
THIS is the kind of BS that has GOT to stop!!
$46 million goes a long way to helping to buy school books, medicine and hundreds of other ways that benefits Americans.....

I think the government has to be big to fight the big white shirt criminals. Our problem is we have elected too many big time spenders who have made being a elected politician a full time job. It seems their main job is taking care of the rich, just take a look at the Republican's record. :rant:

Thank you for posting this Henry. Nice to see such a strong military presence within your lineage. And thank your father and your family, on behalf of my family, for their service and sacrifices in the name of liberty and freedom.
Nice to hear about an aged veteran still living his life despite the horrors and stresses of their experiences. I drink a toast this day in their honor. :food5:
Thanks PH,
Though my Dad still has a pretty sharp mind, he is ready to leave this life. Mom has been gone for going on 16 years, and he misses her. All he can do is watch TV (by his choice) and go to the bathroom.
He can hardly remember what he had for breakfast sometimes, but can tell me in great detail of his time in Germany. His best friend from the war, is still living too, and they still make a point to call each other about every month....

Outstanding that he still is in touch with a comrade in arms. Most often we never find anyone else in life that we are closer to than those with which we share the field of battle. It is a bond that lasts eternally and cannot be understood by those who have never experienced it themselves.
I know something of what you are likely feeling surrounding his lack of willingness and ability to do much more than exist physically. It is heart-breaking, and I speak from personal experience.
I know you know this already but I would be remiss in my duty to you as a friend if I did not say this to you; Spend every damn second of every day that you can with him. Video or record the stories he relates to you, and break out his pictures in the process. Write down the names, dates, and significance he places on each and every one of those pictures. (And make copies of those that document milestones, no matter how minor they may seem to you now). And if you haven't done it already, have some professional photography down of him, and do it now.
I say these things because despite my best efforts in doing them, logistics and time got in my way. You've got one of those beat already so you have an advantage. The veterans are going extinct on us, and our parents are slowly turning over control of this place to us. . . History and experience are our best resources and these men and women hold a vast amount of tribal knowledge that goes with them. . .
Believe me when I say to you that if you can get even some of these things done, you will be thankful for them later; and egregiously sorry for those you were unable to get done. :yes:

I agree with PH!! Write it down and record it! My husband wishes he had with his late father and uncle who served in WW2. His uncle especially was part of the Army that liberated the Germans from Hitler. His uncle had black and white pictures of the Eagle's Nest that was one of Hitler's compounds that we had put on a disc for future use!

I know you are right....I have heard most of his stories so many times, I can recite them along with him.
There has been a few, possibly more than I realize, incidents that he WON'T talk about....or he always changes the subject if I bring it up.
It is very sad, how that generation is almost gone from us....I adore this guy so much. He is the epitome of an American father.......he not only provided for me, he was a role model, and he loved me, unconditionally.....it breaks my heart to see how this life has taken him down....but he lights up, anytime that I come in or when my kids come see him.
I call him every night, it makes him happy to know everyone is okay. I sit with him every Sunday afternoon....and I visit it with him, usually one night through the week, if only for a few minutes.
He is the greatest person I have ever known.

You're a good son! My husband's father wouldn't talk to often about his experiences in WW2.
Henry you are indeed blessed to have such a great man in your life. Ole' Duke can relate and even though my father missed the WWII by a few years he did pull a term in the army right after the war and has always been my hero (along with my mother). Mom has been gone for three years now and dad has surely missed her immensely but at the age of 86 his miind is still sharp and heck he still is able to drive and is fiercely independent. In my opinion biased as it may be he is a man who defines what it is to truly be a man. These men and women are from an unique generation which may never be matched or exceeded again.

Henry, you are indeed blessed by having these men in your life. Thanks for posting the newspaper article about them. My dad spent 8 years active duty in USN. He died when I was 23 and I wish I had asked him more about his time in the navy.
Could be trouble for me to make it through the rest of the day..........we just had a pre-turkey day dinner here at work (thanks to a vendor of ours that we do a sizable amount of work with)........thy brought in a local caterer called Jonathan Bryds.....it may very well be the best catered dinner in the northern hemisphere.........Amazing meal.
Now, I must try to be remotely contribute-able to the company, but it is going to be a serious struggle!!
Turkey coma!

Luca Stricagnoli. Remember that name. At the link above you can view several videos of him playing acoustic covers of a variety of genres of music. By himself.
Among the most talented guitarists / musicians I have ever had the pleasure of hearing / seeing. And he's only 23 years old.
I love his version of Thunderstruck and the theme from Braveheart, especially. But every single one of his pieces are just amazing!
Please watch any one of them. 3-6 minutes of your time and your choice. I promise you will be amazed at what you see and hear. 8)
This kid is going places! :yes:

Just in case anyone cares, I am currently sitting bedside with my father which has pnuemonia. Not much fun.
Drs says he should recover but his mind is pretty confused. Trying to keep him comfortable but tough to do with nurses barging in every hour or two checking his vitals. Long night!

Hope your father gets better. It isn't easy on the elderly when they are sick or their kids
Sorry to hear this HH. I hope he makes a full recovery.

My Mother-In-Law fell yesterday and cracked her head open. 17 stitches, 9 staples, and 5 hours later she was back at home and feisty as ever.
She's 83 and gets around better than a lot of 30-somethings I know. Scared the living hell out of all of us. :spooked:
He is doing better, for 92 years old, he is a tough old bird.

Mine is too. She still does everything a 40 year old does, and I always get onto her about taking risks. She gets mad at me for buying her things I know she likes or wants, but I know deep down she appreciates it. Always threatens to give me a black eye, and I just stick my chin out and tell her to take her best shot. :big grin:
I love her just as much as I love my own mother and she has treated me like a son from day one. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

It makes me remember a Twilight Zone episode starring Telly Savalas. "Living Doll" is the name of the episode. "Talky Tina, a doll that does everything, a lifelike creation of plastic and springs and painted smile. To Erich Streator, she is the most unwelcome addition to his household - but without her, he'd never enter the Twilight Zone."
Very strange indeed.
BTW, Telly Savalas?? How old are you? :razz: ;D

Ah, I liked Colombo. And Peter Falk. Thinking about him makes me think of a movie he was in --
The Princess Bride. That's one I probably wouldn't have watched, but one day an ex-Marine and co-worker recommended it when we were talking about favorite movies. So I watched it and it was delightful. I guess you'd call it a fairy tale about true love for adults. Peter Falk plays an older man reading the story to his grandson.
I haven't ever seen that one. Must be a chick flick. :biggrin:

That movie was so good! Cary Elwes wrote a book about the production of the movie. Very interesting stories in it about the movie and the actors.

"The Princess bride is a 1987 DeLuxe Color American romantic fantasy comedy film directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner ..." "True love. Cliffs of Insanity. Battling Rodents of Unusual Size. Facing torture in the Pit of Despair ...." One of the main characters is Andre the Giant. :biggrin:
I just never got into The Princess Brides, saw the previews of it and just never was my cup of tea.
Doesn't sound real interesting to me.
I thought it was ok, but I probably never watch it again.
There's going to be another Indiana Jones movie; this will be number 5 in the series. Harrison Ford will be a part of it, along with Steven Spielberg. So what's Indy going to do? I think he's getting a little too old for this.

I decided to utilize a week of my vacation time to remodel my kitchen. So far, I have painted my cabinets, hung wall paper, put up new trim, some wood siding on one wall and tomorrow I am going to install a new wood laminate floor.
I am sore all over my body, and wore out! I got to keep on hitting it...been starting early and working until late at night... Not stopping to even eat much until this evening. Went to Ruby Tuesdays and really didn't enjoy it.
So not a "fun" vacation but a very productive one.
Good for you, Henry. Lots of work but will be worth it. Big projects sure eat into vacation time.😊
Yesterday, we put my 87 year old father in the nursing home. It is one of the nicest ones in our home town. He was there in August for rehabilitation and did well but in the past month he has gone down hill physically, mentally, he is still sharp as a tack and had a nurse who he taught in school and he told her that. Granted, he hadn't seen this nurse in 50+ years but recognized her immediately. I know some will judge us for putting him in a nursing home but my stepmom and my siblings are not capable of taking care of him nor am I. We know this is his final journey he has on this earth and it was a decision that he made. He also requested no artificial means to sustain his life, no DNR and a living will to honor those wishes. I think how lucky I have been to have had him for 50+ years and all the lessons he has taught me and still continues even during his last days. If I can be half the person he is in life and pass that onto my kids, I will be successful as a person and a parent.
Unfortunately, sometimes a nursing home is the best option out of several bad ones. Don't beat yourself up too much.

I haven't but I know some will. This was his decision that he made. He knows the time has come and wants to spare us all having to take care of him.

Tough thing to have to deal with, but sometimes necessary. I am sure your family will see he gets the best care possible there.

I wish I could got my dad in a nursing home. He was living with his step-daughter who was not taking care of him or feeding him well. I tried and tried to get him to go but he always said, "I won't go, because that's where they send you to die and Judy (step-daughter) said she would take care of me." One day I went to see him and he was passed out in his chair. I called my sisters and we took him to the hospital and he died two days later. :mad: :mad: :mad: :rant:
I am glad you were able to do it. :vday: :heart:

It wasn't an easy decision to make but my stepmom who all of us love dearly almost as much as my late mother can't take care of him. We took in the factor of that when deciding and even discussed it with her kids as they have been very good to my dad.
I was talking to my stepmom and she finally said that she doesn't want to see him suffer and is ready to let him go. She has loved him for 18 years and before that he and my mom were married for 41.5 years.
It isn't easy to do but it's the best thing for all.

Don't give a second thought to those who may judge you for what you did. It sounds like you made the right choice. Some people like to judge others and yet they have no idea what the that person or family has been through. I've had so many people judge me and drop me as a friend because of my choice to divorce an abusive man. They didn't witness the abuse so between what my soon to be ex told them and seeing what they thought was a "normal" relationship, they decided I was wrong with my decision.

Thank you. No woman or even a man should have to live or stay with someone who is abusive. People never see that side of the person.

really chaps my hide. There is absolutely NO reason for any man to abuse a woman; physically or mentally. None. . .

Thank you Palehorse. It has been a bit hard to recondition my mind and to believe I deserve better, especially since I grew up with abuse, but after two years of being away from him, I do believe it and I KNOW it. It really is a battle to believe something like that after being in a situation that destroys your confidence and self-worth. I know I still have a little more healing and strengthening, but I have come so far from the person I was two years ago. I love the new me and I'm ready for the next step and look forward to having someone who cares for me as a person and not as a thought.

Abby, I could write a book, but won't -- at least not here, not now. As you're already discovering, you, as a soon-to-be single woman, will be treated differently, by men and women, friend and foe, and judged. It will be harder to fit in with couples socially, even with your own family. Stay away from those who judge or make you feel uncomfortable. It helps to make new friends, at work and socially. The best thing I ever did, when it happened to me, was to respond to former high school classmates when they began talking about reunions. They sought me out -- I reluctantly responded, and it changed my life. I am now in touch with people I've known since grade school. We live all over the country, brought together by the internet. One couple, on finding both their spouses had passed away, also found they both lived in Florida, kept in touch, and before we knew it, they were a couple. Living together when convenient (they both kept their own condos), but not marrying. For years now they've been having a big once a year cook-out for all of us over in Athens, WV, their summer home.

Thanks for sharing, Libby. That's a neat story.
One of my many jobs as an administrative assistant at the library is to research certain items that we buy. We're going to purchase a doorbell for our reference department so that when the frontline reference person has too many patrons to help, they can buzz the reference office for help with just a push of a button. I look at the reviews to help make a more informed decision. I liked this one: When they say 100 ft range they must mean in an open field on a windless day, with zero sunspot activity, a brand new battery, and no radios, phones, electronics, small children, airplanes, or large insects within your zip code. If you plan on putting the bell on the outside of the door (duh...) and the receiver on the inside of the door (duh... again) good luck on having it reach more than 10 feet.
Reading those kind of reviews makes my job much more entertaining!
I became a great grandma for the 8th time today and my oldest daughter is now a grandma. 9lbs 1.4oz 20in long. I'll post a pic as soon as I get one.

Grandson and his wife don't want a pic posted yet so I didn't take my camera 'cause I didn't want to take the chance of being tempted to post on fb.....New parents and baby were doing fine when I left the hospital. :smitten: :smitten:
Congratulations, Me. Enjoy the new baby.

Nothing more precious in this place as a grandchild. While I have 10, soon to be 11 grandchildren, I have not achieved the "great" grandparent status yet. . . But I expect to do so within the next 5 years or so. We have a grandson turning 18 with a hot girlfriend and a granddaughter that is turning 19, in college, and hormonal as hell. She is a religious zealot though so there is that. . . :wink: :angel:

Congrats, Me.
I am not grandma status yet but then we were in our 30's when we adopted both of our kids. My dad has 5-6 great grandkids, I don't honestly know how many. I am sure soon, my niece and husband will announce they are expecting. My stepmom has about 20 grandkids and probably as many great grandkids. Most of my high school friends but 3-4 of us have no grandkids.
Thanks everyone. I've been hangin' out at the hospital quite a bit. :smitten:

Each one is special but the first one is super. I have been able to be in the delivery room for some of them and that is such an awesome feeling I don't know how to describe it.
I am happy to share with my zone family that I have received a nice promotion at my current place of employment. I have assumed more responsibility and now have control of my Dept. This is something I have wanted for quite some time now, but never pushed for it. It is nice to be recognized finally.
I have had some outside offers, that motivated them, and I am still considering my options, but I am enjoying life all the better for now.....and it may prohibit me from joining in the conversations here due to being extremely busy, making some new changes, and adjusting a few things, but I am still checking in.

Yesterday, we put my 87 year old father in the nursing home. It is one of the nicest ones in our home town. He was there in August for rehabilitation and did well but in the past month he has gone down hill physically, mentally, he is still sharp as a tack and had a nurse who he taught in school and he told her that. Granted, he hadn't seen this nurse in 50+ years but recognized her immediately. I know some will judge us for putting him in a nursing home but my stepmom and my siblings are not capable of taking care of him nor am I. We know this is his final journey he has on this earth and it was a decision that he made. He also requested no artificial means to sustain his life, no DNR and a living will to honor those wishes. I think how lucky I have been to have had him for 50+ years and all the lessons he has taught me and still continues even during his last days. If I can be half the person he is in life and pass that onto my kids, I will be successful as a person and a parent.
Sorry I am so late to respond to this, but have been swamped lately...but as you know I recently went though a similar situation, but we were fortunate enough to let my Dad PASS as he so very much wanted....we were facing the same scenario as you.....do NOT beat yourself up. I know that everything you do, is full of love for your Dad...and that is all he expects.

Thank you HH, I know you went through this. Right now, he is satisfied being in the nursing home and plenty of family, friends, and church members go to see him. I go as much as I can.

AHH! The 'Dilbert Principle' at work! :razz:
"In the Dilbert strip of February 5, 1995, Dogbert says that "leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow". Adams himself explained,[1]
I wrote The Dilbert Principle around the concept that in many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they're the ones you don't want doing actual work. You want them ordering the doughnuts and yelling at people for not doing their assignments—you know, the easy work." :biggrin:
I'm hoping this isn't true, but can't find anything to the contrary. An Indian woman gave birth at age 72. :spooked: She had in vitro treatments for two years and now she and her 79 year old hubby are the proud parents of a boy. Why would a fertility clinic even allow this? She's supposedly the second woman over 70 to give birth.
Personally, I think it is extremely selfish to have a child at that age. How in the hell are they going to keep up with a toddler? When the boy turns five his dad will be 84 and mom will be 77. Will his parents even be around when he is 10? 15? I can't imagine what kind of life that child will have. I know there is no guarantee that a younger parent will be around to watch their child grow up, but there is a lot more chance of that happening than for this couple.

Don't know if any of you here have Microsoft Windows -- I do, and have been very satisfied -- except for a glitch now and then. Last night it happened again, at bedtime, when I decided to check my e-mail and hit a wrong key. Big mistake, for I was sleepy and found I had just accepted an upgrade of Windows 10 (they flash it on the screen all the time). It took probably 2 hours to install, while I tried to stay awake.
This morning when I turned on my computer, I did not see one single thing I recognized. First of all, to get started, they needed the password I used when I bought my computer, and I couldn't remember it. After a couple of hours of getting nowhere, I was told I had to start over because too many attempts had been made, so I decided I was going to cancel Windows 10.
I don't like being out-smarted by machines, but this time I did not hesitate a second when offered 3 choices, one of which was to un-install Windows 10 and re-install Windows 7.
It took a couple of hours, but it was worth it to see my old familiar Windows 7 screen again. The first things I looked for were for my security and mail and both were there. Then I decided to check out the Zone, but couldn't get in: had to re-apply and use another password, and that took a while. And here I am. Did I mention that while I was writing this we had a whopper of a thunderstorm, with heavy rain? :smile:
Wow, Libby!

That's too bad. I had been resisting because I don't like change, especially on my computer.
We had Windows 10 put on my husband's laptop and neither of us like it at all. I think it is much harder to use than any of the earlier versions.

is a reason we call it "Micro-Sux". Above is a short list of them. There are MANY more.
Thanks for listing some of the reasons I went Mac and hope I never have to go back. :yes: (It's bad enough I have a Micro-Sux unit I am forced to use in my work. And work is ALL I use it for.)
Today we were supposed to be in Ft. Worth to attend our grandson's high school graduation but husband was pretty sick last week and the doctor wouldn't let him travel. We cancelled our flights and thought we would miss it. But they streamed it live on the web so we were watching it at 9 this morning. It was great we probably saw more than if we were there. We hated not seeing everyone but it worked out OK. Now the really good part, he had cords for Academic Decathalon, Spanish Honor Society, top 10 percent of the class, Interact Club, National Honor Society, distinguished graduation plan, and last of all one from the blood drive. We are very proud of him.😂

Yes, he is much better. Came down with a bad case of bronchitis and a full fledged asthma attack, loaded him up with meds and said not to fly for at least 4 days.

I've been purposely staying away from Major League Baseball for quite some time now. Years in fact. Over a decade.
But recent events within my life have forced me to watch a rather large number of Cubs games this year, and today was no different.
And I have to say that I am being sucked into professional baseball again, and the Cubs. . . I actually like their manager and his very off the beaten path approach toward the game. :smile:
Henry, I glad you found a person who loves you and you can love back. :love: :gorgeous: She has to be an angel :wings: and saint to put up with you.:flower3:

Same here, actually, the Cubs got me kind of excited last year....and I agree Joe Maddon is doing a phenom job with the way he handles his team.....it is FUN, to watch baseball again!!!
I haven't been a true cub fan since the Sandberg, Dawson, Mooreland, Dunston, Cey, Sutcliff days!!

Have a neighbor with a developmentally disabled adult aged child.
My doorbell rang at 8:30 this morning and I answered to find him at the door and in tears. He told me, "My mom and dad are out of town and my and my dog can't get back into the house. There are keys in the truck but it is locked. Its hot out here and I cannot get in."
I walked over to assess the situation and sure enough everything he said was true. So we went around and I began looking at the windows; of course all of them were locked. . . . Except for two directly behind the bed headboard .
I popped off the screen and then he could not climb in so I did, and after snaking my way out from behind the bed headboard, went over to the slider doors and let him in.
Poor guy. I told him not to forget his little dog tied up out front. He was so relieved. . . :smile:
Good for you, PH. Your story made me think of something I encountered this morning -- although I was not able to help:
I drove to the bank I use in the shopping center near my home to check my near the end of the month balance, and as I got out of my car, heard a loud sound, which made me think of an Indian battle cry or something related. It was coming from a townhouse area which backs up close to the shopping center. Then I heard the sound again and thought maybe it was some kids playing war or something. Went inside my bank, came out a few minutes later, and there was that sound; this time I saw a young black man, clean-looking, well dressed, short hair, and the sound was coming from him. He was just steps away, facing me. And I realized the sound was one of anguish. I walked towards him, stopped a few feet away, and said, "Are you OK?" He didn't answer or seem to notice me. Walked past me, maybe a foot of space between us, and cried out again. I turned and followed him a foot or so behind, said, "Do you need money?" No response from him. He just kept walking. I got in my car, slowly drove away, as he continued to walk farther across the parking lot. I wanted so much to do something before somebody called the police and who knows what would have happened. Then I thought about a huge church just across the street which operates a school and always seems to be open. Wondered if they'd help somebody like that. But by then he was out of my sight across the big parking lot, and I was sick at heart.
Got some of the spirit of Mother Theresa in me. :'( :(
Good job, PH!

It is miserably hot here today -- close to 100 the last I heard -- and has been so for days, BUT I hate to complain because not too far away in Maryland, an apartment complex exploded yesterday. The last I heard they have recovered 4 bodies and there are others still not accounted for. Reports are that at least one person complained to the gas company recently about smelling gas.
Not too bad here but raining off and on.

I saw that. I complain about the heat and especially when our humidity and heat index are higher than our temps.but then you see something like that or our soldiers in there gear and you realize you have nothing to complain about.
The Washington Post weather forecast for us today is not good: heavy rain, possible flooding locally, maybe hail. That's after about 7 days of temperature over 95, and a big storm yesterday evening -- about dark. Big boom thunder and lightening with lights flickering, but we didn't lose power.
Good luck! That kind of weather happens almost daily in Florida. ;D

I remember the first time I went to Florida -- by train. It stopped somewhere in Georgia, and when I got off to stretch my legs, thought I couldn't breathe because of the heat and humidity. At least it prepared me for Florida -- I lived in Jacksonville for about a year, same thing. Took two showers a day if I stayed outside for more than a few minutes.
However, now that I think of it, I went back to Jacksonville several years ago to visit a friend, and the heat and humidity didn't bother me all that much, so seems I have acclimated (July and August here in the D.C. metro area will do that -- the heat and humidity plus gas fumes from heavy traffic -- ).
Kind of scary I think. The cars didn't even move and the restaurant the video was taken at didn't seem to be damaged. This was the first tornado that went through Kokomo.

I love to read and our son doesn't but his interest are varied. Our daughter who is 10.5 reads and loves it. I hope she always will love to read but so many young people don't like you posted Y do not. Maybe I was lucky in that I grew up in a home where reading was stressed.

My daughter is an avid reader and book collector, and many of her friends love to read. I like to read and working at the library makes it easy to find books. (Can you believe that? Find books in a library? :biggrin: ) I've been trying to swap between fiction and non-fiction.
I have a tendency to read everything and anything. Like cereal boxes (been doing that since I was kid), drink cups, labels, ingredient lists, and now, napkins. This is what Chipotle has on theirs: "This napkin was made from 100% recycled content. It could have been losing lottery ticket or a frustrating furniture assembly manual in its past life. Forgive and forget." :smile:

I am the same way in reading stuff but now my interest is true murder or biographical books. Someone once asked the late Ann Rule, true crime author did people who like her books , were they inclined to be evil and she stated that she didn't believe so. I have a friend who is a high school librarian and she has a Literature Club at her school. Every year, kids are waiting to get in.
That is cool about the napkin. I will have to check that out next time.
This year I had a bumper crop :thumbsup: of hot yellow Hungarian peppers in fact all of my peppers. :biggrin: Hungarian, Anaheim, Cow Horn, Poblano and Serrano. I just finished canning the Hungarians, some garlic, some spicy and some sweet. The Poblanos will be frozen and the rest will be dried for some Mexican dishes, soups and chili. :drool2:

Nah.
Reminds me of something I read years ago in a Dear Abby (I think) column: A woman wrote in to say she'd been married twice, but not to the man she loved, and wondered if there were others like her. Abby wrote back that, to her surprise, she got a lot of "me, too" responses.
Had to stop at a local store to pick something up while running errands this morning. On the way into the store I saw this elderly man sitting on a short brick wall going into the store itself.
He is obviously homeless and I saw someone had provided him with an afghan that they had knitted. It was clean and barely used; however he was using it to break the wind off his already windburned face.
Now, the streets are lined with scammers holding signs saying they need food blah,blah,blah. This guy was different though. You can tell the individuals that do not have a place to stay or don't know where their next meal is coming from and cannot remember when they last had a good meal. This man was one of them. He didn't say a word as I walked past him and into the store.
I picked up my item and was in and out within 5 minutes. I had paid for my item with a 20 dollar bill and had more than half of that left and in my hand as I walked out the door. I looked over to see he had moved a lot further away from the entrance, so I walked down to him and reached out to shake hands with him, holding the change in the cup of my extended hand.
He reached out to shake hands with me and I pressed the money into his palm as we did so. I wished him a happy Thanksgiving and told him the weather was going to take a turn for the worst this evening.
He looked into his hand and back up at me and had tears in his eyes as he said thank you. I noticed he was wearing a Navy hat and asked him if he was a veteran. He replied by telling me he had served aboard (a ship) during Nam and had been in for 8 years. Told me the years of his service.
I asked him if he had a place to stay and he just shook his head indicating "no". I pulled out my phone and called a very good friend of mine that works for the Indianapolis VA and while I was standing there with him I provided his personal information to my friend. HE promised to call me right back, so I asked the man if he'd like a cup of coffee. He said he would and I invited him to get into the truck and go over to Starbucks with me, my treat. He indicated he couldn't go to that place as they'd called the cops on him for hanging around there.
I asked how he liked his coffee and then went over to Starbucks and got him a large one just the way he liked it. On the way over my friend called back and said that the man I had called him about has some severe service-related disabilities and was a pilot. I told him his situation and he said that it explained why his account had gone virtually untouched for nearly 2 years now. He asked if I could find a way to get him to the VA in Muncie, who would provide him shelter, food, medical assistance, and help get him squared away.
By this time I was back in the truck and drove over to him. I pulled up and told him to get in. He was a bit nervous about it but he saw the Navy Stickers on my truck and got in anyway. I handed him his coffee and asked him if he would like me to take him to Muncie to get some help. I explained what my friend had told me. He again teared up and nodded his head indicating yes.
I drove him up there and went inside with him. Much to my surprise they were waiting for him when we arrived, and began processing him immediately. He reached out to shake my hand as he prepared to walk away and tried to give me the money I had given him back. I told him he might need it to tide him over and to keep it.
He nodded his head and again said thank you. He asked me why I was doing this for him? I told him, why wouldn't I when he had put his life on the line for me and this nation so many years ago? "Thank you for your service", I said to him. Welcome home.
I wish it could have been more. . . :-[
I called my friend back and thanked him for his assistance with the man. He asked me how I had run across him and I told him. He just laughed and said he was glad I had called him and thanked me for helping him out. I told him it was a team effort, me, him, and the man. I told him I know he stretched a few rules and likely called in a favor or two in order to get the guy help so quickly, and I appreciated it.
"It's my job man. It's what we do." It's more than that and I damned well know it. :yes:
Thankful for friends like him. Truly thankful.

Had to stop at a local store to pick something up while running errands this morning. On the way into the store I saw this elderly man sitting on a short brick wall going into the store itself.
He is obviously homeless and I saw someone had provided him with an afghan that they had knitted. It was clean and barely used; however he was using it to break the wind off his already windburned face.
Now, the streets are lined with scammers holding signs saying they need food blah,blah,blah. This guy was different though. You can tell the individuals that do not have a place to stay or don't know where their next meal is coming from and cannot remember when they last had a good meal. This man was one of them.

Yes it does, but it also illustrates how short we fall as a nation in making sure our veterans have easy access to the things they need and have earned via their service.
That's a huge hot button for me personally, and I'm just glad I was able to help a veteran out in his/her time of need. Our nation may not be so forthcoming, but I will do anything I can for them. . . And I am thankful to have some well placed, long time friends within the system that are so ready and willing to help me help them.

Agreed. My husband and I try to help veteran's out as much as possible. It comes from him having served in the Air Force for a few short years and I have an interest in helping all veteran's get the aid and assistance they need.
I think what you did was great as many people would have walked by and not have helped at all.
Thank your son for his service. I have a very good friend who is a retired Lt. Commander from the Navy.

Truthfully though, I will sleep better tonight knowing this man is warm and fed and getting the care he so desperately needed.
Once I knew he was a veteran it was clear to me that I had to get him out of the approaching weather and help him out. "No one left behind"; it doesn't end once you leave the operational theatre. Especially not within a military family.

Went to my Myspace account just out of curiosity tonight since I hadn't been there for about 5yrs and it has turned into a music/social site. I had put some videos of hubby's nephew's old band as well as my grandson's band and some others on there and they were gone except for one video of a friends band. Most of my pics were still there though so I copied them.
Finally got all my prep cooking done for tomorrow, finished cleaning up the kitchen, and got things set up for the buffet style meal since we don't have a table large enough to seat 20 people. I'm still full from going to my daughters Thur. but I'm sure I'll find room for food tomorrow. What's great is hubby's sister and BIL will be here this year along with his girls, grandkids, and one great granddaughter. Our family just keeps getting larger. :smitten:
Hope TN gets some of this rain to help put this out. :'(

I recall at some point him appearing on a talk show not too long after having a stroke. He was doing 1 arm push ups on stage. I thought back then he was going to be visited by the :reap: soon. I could not have been more wrong.
He says he is tired of talking about himself though. Damn. A century of life experiences and now he's tired of talking about himself. Personally I want to hear more about him while he's still around to tell us about it.
While there are more 100 year olds in the world today, compared to the early 20th century, reaching triple digits is still something amazing. Reaching it and still having your children around is doubly amazing at that age.
Just think of some of the people he used to 'hang out' with!!! Most of them have been gone a long time....
I think it would be cool as heck to listen to him reminisce about the old days.......

My husband's aunt still has her son around. He had another aunt who lived to be 96 or 98. Her husband and her were good friends with Henry Ford. She made clothes for Mrs. Henry's ford and he was one of Henry Ford's top right hand guys. She told us a lot of stories.

13 degrees here in my neck of the woods; going down to 1 before sunrise sometime. Possibly lower.

It works as long as the ice isn't super thick. For frost it is the bomb. :yes:
Just make sure you use enough Alcohol to keep the water from freezing, and DO NOT SMOKE while using it!
DO NOT use hot water as that will cause your windshield to crack!

Depends on the alcohol content. But when it gets thick it tends to take a lot of spraying to clear the ice. Comparable to scraping only putting all the stress onto your trigger finger.
A better solution is to cover the windshield with a sheet or large piece of cardboard overnight, but you have to figure out how to strap it down so it doesn't blow off. A few large bungee cords (cheap ones that are weaker) can typically be hooked to the mirrors or wind channels on some models. Get the plastic hooked ones to minimize the potential for scratching of the paint. They'll bust in seriously cold weather if you're not careful, but you have to measure the benefit/cost surrounding whether it is worth your while to do so.
Cardboard is cheap and if the ice is super thick you just trash it, no scraping. 8)

Interesting. I don't know if I'll go to all the work with the cardboard, but I do want to try out the spray method. Now I need to run to Target and get a sprayer!

No, didn't get it there so you and the Mrs. are safe. I kind of wonder if it's more weather related than an actual cold anyway since neither of us have had a fever at all. I've actually worked feeling worse than this but don't have to anymore and ain't gonna.
Retired again! I worked my last day at the auto auction last Friday. Got tired of driving 200-300 miles a day in and around Indy on the Interstate system, tired of working in crappy weather, and tired of putting myself at risk when dealing with breakdowns on the road. Other than working at Bunker Hill Dragstrip again, all my time will be for me and the family.

It's a fine line between being busy and indentured slavery isn't it?
The wife is planning on retiring this time next year, so I better enjoy it while I can. :wink:
Forty-four years ago today we moved into this house. It was -20 degrees. We had frozen pipes, garbage piled waist high in the dining area and an overflowing toilet. My husband actually hired a plumber to thaw the pipes and toilet. It was a long and frustrating day.

Anyone have any thoughts about President Obama's commutation of Ms. Manning's sentence? It seems what she did caused a lot of harm in some areas but some people thought what she did was a good thing. I thought it was almost but not quite treason.

I think those of us alive now and when the incident(s) transpired, will never know the full story behind the whole thing.
And I think only when we are mostly all down for the long dirt nap, the information will be released that validates President Obama's actions.

I think he did the right thing. :yes: It is amazing how a general of the army can give his girl friend Super Secrets and he doesn't serve one day and some little screwed up slick sleeve soldier gets 37 years in prison. He/she embarrassed some higher ups, but did no damage to the country. :thumbsup: Obama. :4th3:
One thing I never liked about the military justice was all noncoms are tried by officers. They are not tried by their peers, other soldier of lower rank. So there is a lot of the soldiers get railroaded and I do mean railroaded to the point of being shot. :mad: :rant:

The shipments are delivered are a truck, most times directly from our supplier, so no postage necessary. They do have smaller boxes and padded envelopes that this would have fit in quite well.
Maybe they have an overabundance of medium sized boxes.

I am procrastinating today. Not sure why but I am just not feeling it . . . :coffee:
Snowed here in PA. We only had 3 inches, but it was predicted 5-8. I really can't remember when they have predicted correctly. Anyway, the library had a one hour delayed opening, but I really didn't feel like dealing with the mess and cold so I called my manager and took a personal day. Hooray for personal days! :smitten:
...and you didn't even need Palehorse's snow dance. ;D
This is the first year I can remember that we have not had snow about the middle of January. I thought of it as the real beginning of winter, even when I was a girl in WV.
Yesterday was shirt sleeve weather, today cold with high winds. A few days ago, another cold windy day, Sunday, I think, I went to the grocery store to get some catnip for my (high priority) and when I got out of my car the wind almost knocked me down. I actually staggered a little. It wasn't all that cold. Just windy.
I think La Nina is giving you a mild winter all around the north Libby. At least that's what I heard the prognosticators saying last October.
Wonder if we'll have another drought this year. . .

Palehorse's pictures reminded me of an old picture of my great-grandparents that was taken circa 1922. When I went looking for it on Facebook, I ran across a picture that depicted the squall line that led to that serious derecho that occurred a few years back.
Can you believe it's been five years since that happened and our discussions about it?
Derecho!

...and it's been 4 years, to the almost day, that we were discussing the Ex-LAPD cop rampage.
Time sure files.
I order my contacts on-line and when they came in the other day, I read the "Tips for Contact Lens Care and Use" section. Not sure why, guess I must have been really bored. Anyway, they put some humor into some of their tips like these:
Take the time each morning to lean in close to the mirror, look deep into your own eyes and say out loud, "Dang, I really am awesome in every way."
Unless your eye care professional tells you differently, remove your contacts before sleeping because you don't need to see when you're asleep, silly.
Wash your hands with mild soap ....... Avoid soaps with lanolin, deodorant, moisturizers, or are in shapes like seashells or small birds because those soaps are
decorative and you'll get in trouble if you use them.
And my favorite:
If you wear makeup, 1. know you look just as beautiful without it, really, and 2. put it on after your contacts are already in.

When God Delivered Groceries
There was a little old lady who was very spiritual who would step out on her porch every day, raise her arms to the sky, and yell, "Praise the Lord"
One day, an atheist bought the house next door to her, and he became very irritated with the spiritual lady. So after a month or so of her yelling, "Praise the Lord" from her porch, he went outside on his porch and yelled back, "There is no Lord."
Yet, the little old lady continued. One cold, wintry day, when the little old lady couldn't get to the store, she went out on her porch, raised her hands up to the sky and said,
"Help me Lord, I have no more money, it's cold, and I have no more food."
The next morning, she went outside, and there were three bags of food on the porch, enough to last her a week. "Praise the Lord," she yelled.
The Atheist stepped out from the bushes and said, "There is no Lord, ha ha ha, I bought those groceries!"
The little old lady raised her arms to the sky and said,
"Praise the Lord, You sent me groceries and you made the Devil pay for them!"
Ate lunch at Riviera Maya and I'm stuffed. It was good but neither of us were all that impressed with it so we'll probably just stick to Taco Bell.

My son and daughter in law gave me a DNA test for mothers day. I got the results back yesterday. Mostly what I expected (Great Britain and western Europe) except for 10 percent Scandinavian and 2 percent Iberian peninsula. I'm a lot less Irish than I thought😊. Now I want my husband to get his DNA tested.
If you let them publish your results you will most likely get some interesting replies. Wish I could get my four sisters to do it. My daughter said it takes about that many to get a clearer picture of how like or unlike blood relatives can be. It's fascinating how different siblings and parent/child results can be.
My test was from Ancestry. My son's DNA was,of course, quite similar to mine except he is 17 percent Irish to my 5 percent and no Iberian peninsula in his DNA. It will be interesting to see what my husband's results are.
Mine is also Ancestry.
We went to see Dunkirk today. It was excellent, well worth the time and money.
My sister had a wreck last week. Woman ran a red light and hit driver's side of my sister's car. No one was injured except for a few bruises on my sister. Totaled her car. The other woman spoke no English, had a Maine driver's license, the car belonged to someone else and the insurance company listed has never heard of either person. We figure they are in Montana or somewhere else far away. Aggravating.

Stay safe Locutus! Keep us posted!
I just finished reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. I have admired her for awhile after seeing her on tv years ago. The book is an autobiography and I broke my own rule of not reading autobiographies. I enjoyed reading it and was pleasantly surprised to find it lacked both the poor pitiful me and how great I am storylines. Good book.
We spent last weekend in GA at our son's home. Two of the grandkids and the great granddaughter came up from FL. It was good to see them. On Friday we went to an escape room. We failed miserably but we had a really good time. Next time we will go in with a plan.😊. Has anyone else been to one? The theme in ours was 1950 mental institution. It was dark but not really scary. We all used the flashlight app on our phones to read clues.
Been planning on going to an Escape Room for quite some time. It sounds like great fun!
How did you fail miserably? ;D
We didn't even get out of the first room. The room had hidden boxes, clues that could only be viewed with a black light, visual and audio clues on a monitor and six or seven combination locks and after you found the correct combination for each one there was a clue, some buried in the middle of a medical report, that eventually led to a second room. The second room, which we only open up because the monitor told us how to open the door, had more locks and clues.
We did have a great time. Next time we decided to appoint a leader and give each person a job. Maybe a little organization would have helped😁.
Good to know!
May help in planning my own venture! :yes: :big grin:
Political correctness is, at times, ridiculous. In the medical field a couple things stand out to me. I had some lab work done a couple months ago and was asked if any hospital staff came in contact with my body fluids could they test it for diseases. When I worked at the hospital almost all patients were tested for disease (stds, th, etc.) as part of the admission process. I think this mostly changed because of the aids spread. It was treated as more of a social problem than a medical one. The new one is during patient registration in NM the patient is given a paper asking what their gender was at birth and which gender they identify with. The reason given for the paper is it is evidently too sensitive to ask aloud. Absolutely ridiculous, imo. Another stupid thing is leaderless birth certificates. End of rant.

I had some lab work done a couple months ago and was asked if any hospital staff came in contact with my body fluids could they test it for diseases. When I worked at the hospital almost all patients were tested for disease (stds, th, etc.) as part of the admission process. I think this mostly changed because of the aids spread. It was treated as more of a social problem than a medical one. The new one is during patient registration in NM the patient is given a paper asking what their gender was at birth and which gender they identify with. The reason given for the paper is it is evidently too sensitive to ask aloud. Absolutely ridiculous, imo. Another stupid thing is leaderless birth certificates. End of rant.
Leaderless birth certificates?
Genderness, autocorrect fail.😁

Discovered this song by Philip Phillips. Absolutely love it and I told my daughter when she gets married, it needs to be the song she and her boyfriend dance to. ;) Hell, if I ever marry again I want to dance to it with my husband! :yes:

Gave in and got a Roku and I think we're really gonna like it. Just about finished getting it all set with things we like to watch and the movies, music videos and other things we normally watch will be much cheaper than DirectTV which we plan on getting rid of. Probably won't be watching much of the PPV stuff 'cause there's so many other things open to watch. So far we're up to a whole $20 a month which is much less expensive than DTV. Downside is we will have to keep comcrap for the Wifi. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.
On a lighter note, tomorrow we are celebrating my mother I law who is turning 95 and getting along wonderfully!
She is a wonderful woman whom I love dearly!

Heart and dressing for supper tonight...... :drool1:
Heart and dressing?
Beef heart with dressing. Make the dressing and put it over the heart and bake it for 3 1/2 to 4 hrs depending on the size of the heart. The dressing does have to be super moist, almost runny, to cook that long without getting too dry though.

Beef was a special occasion meal where I grew up (think high mountains) -- and the only cattle I remember seeing were cows. We ate pork.
Daddy was a coal miner, but HIS father was a farmer, so we always had a garden and grape vines and two pigs and a cow, the pigs for pork and the cow for milk.
As for organ meat, all I remember was liver from pigs and chickens, and brains from freshly slain pigs -- which daddy ate with scrambled eggs. The rest of us gagged. :eek:

Brains are good as long as you get them done but I prefer beef brains because they're bigger and easier to clean. Unfortunately they no longer carry them in the grocery stores.

It's unbelievable. There are still three bridges are closed because they need to rebuild the road. They are lesser travelled and they concentrated on the main roads that needed rebuilt. Two amusement parks, HersheyPark and Knoebel's were shut from Monday to Thursday (although HersheyPark did open on Tuesday despite only having less than half their rides operating and rain coming and going throughout the day. Gotta make money. :mad:) They both opened after a lot of clean up on Friday. There were a few videos of Knoebel's with the water storming through the park. If you want to see it, go to youtube and search Knoebel's flood 2018.

At work we've been holding these bingo games as a means to help create engagement. "Brown Bag Bingo" sessions are held during lunch periods on all 3 shifts and employees can play bingo and eat their lunch at the same time.
I, as the senior manager on the shift I work, am "required" to play so I go to them during the monthly session. We let them select from a basket of "trinkets" when they win too. Problem is they typically have enough time to play about 10 games in the sessions and the two times we've done it so far I have won 8 of the ten sessions. No fix either. Random cards and only 2 cards per person. :big grin: (But I let 8 people select a prize each time, instead of taking one myself).
Maybe I ought to take up Bingo instead of the lottery! :biggrin:

Reading that brings back memories. Although my father was a coal miner, his father was a farmer, so he always had a garden, and since he had 5 girls, no boys, and I was the oldest, he got me up before school to help in the garden. He canned and preserved also (much like you). And planted flowers. I hated hoeing and pulling weeds in the garden, but now I really enjoy planting herbs and other things I can fit in my small yard. Planned to plant some vegetables this year, but other things got in the way.I Maybe next year.

So many times I've seen chances disappear
I hesitate and watch them slip away
Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
And it's gone as sure as yesterday
All these users and fakers, big time takers
Manipulating everyone they see
I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
And the only one I have to blame is me
I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light

I agree, there are to many shootings. It is not the guns that do it. It is the crazy people that are among us doing the shootings. If they didn't have guns they can use many other things to cause death to innocent people. Like cars, trucks, gasoline, knifes and of course the really big item of death lately, Pipe Bombs. Thanks to Trump.
The lawyers shut down the insane asylums and those people, they became the homeless people on the streets and in the prisons. The Marine who did the shooting in the bar had PTSD, just read about PTSD. A huge number of soldiers that have committed suicide over the last years was because of PTSD, He most likely could not get medical treatment at the VA.
Question, just what can we do about it. We know that the Republicans won't spend a dime to help the problem. :huh1:

I don't have a problem with it and I think it's a good idea.
I don't even think they should have to ask, if you are sick/hurt do you really want someone else to be sick because they were trying to help you. If you had hepatitis, hiv or something like that and didn't know it, wouldn't you want to know so you could get treatment? People are weird.

Taking the rest of the summer off, didn't want to, but push came to shove. Back in 2003 I twisted my left ankle pretty bad, but didn't think much of it at the time. Had it X-rayed, but didn't find anything. As time went on it kept getting more troublesome, finally to the point of surgery. I wanted to wait until winter, but it got to where I could walk very little. So yesterday the good doctor and staff at Ortho Indy performed a fusion of my heel and ankle. Basically they ran two lag bolts from the back of my heel at an angle into my ankle bone. No more twisting side to side, and no more bone rubbing against bone. It does not hurt at all so far. I may have some minor pain as the nerve block wears off, but I no longer have the deep throbbing from my heel. Now I wait until October before I'm able to put full weight on it. As it was I wasn't getting to do things I wanted, so there was no advantage in waiting.
:spooked:
Oh man! I hope you have a quick recovery 442.
Well I hope you have a speedy recovery! It is a good time to sit in AC, so try to make the best of it... :)
Got lots of movies, racing shows, and reading to catch up on. So for now the wife won't bug me about not getting anything done.😉

Yes, but... try to get some regular exercise for the rest of your body. I speak from watching a sister who did not after foot surgery, and has really paid the price.

I am staying as active as I can. Got my crutches and a knee scooter for mobility. This limited mobility is driving me nuts. Only have about 11 more week to go😖😖😖😖😖
Got the splint off last Wednesday, and I now have a cast for the next 6 weeks. Other than the occasional nerve jolt, there isn't any discomfort. The doctor said it was looking good, and now he is waiting for the two bones to fuse together. I will say, the cast is far more user friendly than the splint was. Boy do I miss riding my Goldwing, lawnmower, standing in the shower, etc, etc.
Good new, 8)

Glad to hear you're mending well.
The cast is gone! Now I have a boot for the next month. Progress is slow and sure, I should go back to regular footwear then.
Glad to hear the cast is gone. I know you're anxious to be back in regular shoes.
Right on 442! 8) 8)
The plastic boot was giving me fits. Not where the surgery was done, but on the upper part of the joint where the leg bone meets the ankle. So I gave the boot, the boot a week and a half ago. Been walking in my regular boots with cane assist since then. Today the wife and I took a ride on the Goldwing! I'm not 100%, but I'm getting closer.
8) Good news! :)
Mr. 442, you be careful of that foot. I had a friend who broke a knee and the doctor told him to be very careful of what he did with that knee.
Well, he didn't and he broke it again. His daughter who couldn't handle the second break put him in a nursing home. It took him twice as long to cure the second break.
Watch how you put that foot down when you stop that big Goldwing. :yes: :smile: :chop:
Went back to Ortho Indy for my follow up last week, and the doctor was happy with what he saw. Although he gave me the green light to get back in action, I am watching what I do. Not so much from injuring it, but more from being gun shy from the pre operation pain. I almost have to learn to walk normally again since I'd been babying it for so long.
Me and the Goldwing are getting along fine in my shortened riding season, and will be doing well come spring.
Good news 442....take it slow! 8)
Learning to walk normally is interesting to say the least. Been hurting so long, and compensating, I find myself moving in ways no longer necessary. I have to actually think about how I am walking, especially on steps and the like. It's tough to break old habits, but I am making headway.
I read that if you are having trouble walking. Find a safe path, sidewalk, parking lot, some where, where there is nothing to trip over and walk looking up. Not watching your feet. I told a guy this,who had broken his knee and he told me it really helped with walking and balance. Good luck. :run: :bliss:
Putting politics aside....I have a whole in my heart as I learned late last night, that my "right hand" man at work, and close friend decided to take his life.
I am stunned beyond belief and numb.....I counted on him on many levels at work...he and I shared our problems with one another...and though I knew he had some issues, I never dreamed he would follow through with such a tragic ending. I would appreciate any positive thoughts and prayers.
I am devastated.
Sorry to hear that HH. Wish there was something I could say or do to help make this easier for you. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just saw this Hank. Positive thoughts and prayers headed your way.
We grow close to those with whom we share the day to day stresses and challenges in the trenches. We must forgive ourselves for assuming we truly know them, for the reality is we never truly know anyone. Not even ourselves.
It's why kindness is the best approach in most things, for we never truly know the burdens of our colleagues and coworkers. One act of kindness could be the very thing that prevents them from making the decision your friend did. It can balance their perspectives toward making a better decision; one that includes staying the course and fighting through whatever it is weighing them downward.
Some are really good at concealing these thoughts, so forgive yourself if you did not suspect a thing. Remember them as you knew them to be, and incorporate more kindness in your day to day life.

No one gets out of here alive.
Two weeks ago, I came to work with a hole in my heart that still feels as if it will not heal. JD, was my right hand man. I have known him for nearly 25 years. Three years ago, I hired him to fill a position that I desperately needed in order for me to continue to grow the department of which I am the Director.
At first, I was a tad skeptical to hire him due to his "harsh" demeanor that he always seem to present. He was a man, who love his beer, loved to hunt, loved the Indianapolis 500 (which he went to every one for the last 41 years), and could cuss with the best of them. So, I knew or thought, I would have my hands full, bringing him into our office environment.
He had a great deal of experience though and he connected to my technicians. That was a plus and the main reason I wanted him in this position.
Even though I knew JD for years, I thought I knew him, but the last three years, I had the fortunate opportunity to REALLY get to know him. He was a very hard worker, who had a passion for doing things "the right way". This was why he won our "Customer Service" Award four years ago.
But, more importantly, I learned of how loyal and kind he was. Behind his tough image that he portrayed was this guy who LOVED his family. LOVED his friends. He would do anything, without hesitation, to help out someone who was in need. That is why he also served as a volunteer fireman in his small town where he resided. He was the Captain of his FD. He also had a sense of humor, that was something I never knew he had, until I got to know him...it was dry, but witty.
Unfortunately, he had demons that was relentless. His desire to be the best would often antagonize him when he couldn't satisfy his thirst to do so. He had a quick temper. He would be outraged when something simple would disrupt his day. If I would suggest he try another strategy, he would often become obnoxious towards me...but within a few minutes, he would calm down, and nearly always apologize to me.
I spent many hours with our doors closed counseling him...especially when he and his wife began to have marital problems. His wife knew how to push his buttons to make him see red. Which is finally what happened.
This is the part I struggle with...I know the demons won him over. He was convinced that ending his life would ease his pain. How is it someone who has so much love to give and was loved by so many...be in so much pain, that he felt he couldn't do it any more.
This post is more for me than anything....I am trying to move on. My work load is enormous now. I miss my friend so much. I just needed to take a few minutes and express my thoughts to who ever wants to read this.
JD...I will miss you man! I love ya!
Sorry for your loss.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year everyone!
What the hell happened to winter?
Well, I thing I have noticed. You haven't rooted for snow. :LIS: :snowbl: :thinksnow: :snowball: :snow: :cold: :snowman: :LIS: :sunpeek: How can it snow if we don't have someone wanting it. :trustme: :thumbsup:
I'm rooting for something else these days. Any snow we may get isn't going to be on me.
I'm hoping everyone is doing well during these crazy times. We are managing, but I'd sure like to go out and eat again.
Me too. . . I have worked every day except for the week when I was sent home for being sick and got tested. So there is that. . . But I am tired of eating lunch by myself due to social distancing, and eating take out at home. . ,
I long for dining in an environment filled with unruly, snotty nosed kids running wild. LOL!
Ate breakfast out yesterday morning, it was nice. Haven't tried any evening meals yet.
Only place I saw with the dining room open in Madison County was Applebee's. . . And I don't much care for that place. I think most restaurants doing the drive through thing are still only doing that.
A friend in A western county owns a Chinese restaurant. He's been doing the drive through only and says his business is doing far better than when the dining room was open. So much so that he isn't going to open it for as long as possible. . .
The only place we go to dine in is The Toast and they finally did open back up but are limiting the number of customers.
My wife and I are not going anywhere we do not know the people and where we and them don't wear mask. :no: :no:
I spent overs 10 days in the hospital in the last year and a half. We are not going to put our lives of the line with this deadly virus. :dead: :ouch: :waaa: :no: :no: :no: :trustme:
I talked to Troll not too long ago. He and his wife are still OK.
