Hi everyone. I’m just back from my shrink appointment and was feeling pretty good about myself, and then I noticed that Damnit Janet didn’t call me “Luscious” and now I’m inconsolable.
- CabinGirl on February 28, 2006 at 3:05 pm
  
  Glad you’re back!
  
  (I know I’m not DJ, but at least I tried…)
  - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 3:08 pm
    
    But I would just once like to be called ‘luscious’. She called Wilderness Wench that and now I’m just jealous.
    
    How are you and the Cabin cuties?
    - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 3:32 pm
      
      Let us recall that WW lives in a leaky house with very bad plumbing and not enough heat. She needs a little luscious now and again just to keep her going. You, OTOH, are the shy bitch goddess of the left and live in the warm, sunny South™ 😉
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 3:50 pm
        
        Okay, I’ll accept that. But it was nice hearing you call me Luscious!
      - wilderness wench on February 28, 2006 at 5:18 pm
        
        Agreed!
        The car’s just crapped out again, too (grumble, mutter).
        
        Just for the record: to me, every last one of us here at the cafe’ is indescribably, eternally luscious.
        
        However, speaking as one who ‘splashes’ rather than bathes from November to May (against risk of pheumonia), I’d say the better word for me is ‘fruity’.
        😉
        
        And now, back to my non-luscious chores..
      - dada on February 28, 2006 at 5:21 pm
        
        Peace
      - wilderness wench on February 28, 2006 at 5:27 pm
        
        You know it, dada! Most especially after an hour of shoveling sand-laden snow under multiple woolens.
        
        Don’t worry, folks, I’m goin’ outside now 😉
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:25 pm
        
        I’ve always been partial to ‘earthy’.
      - wilderness wench on February 28, 2006 at 5:30 pm
        
        I’ll take it. Thank you, Luscious!
        
        (No kidding here. I’ve seen your photo.)
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:34 pm
        
        I’m awfully flattered! and blushing!
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 5:37 pm
        
        That just makes you all the more luscious.
      - wilderness wench on February 28, 2006 at 5:38 pm
        
        Uh-oh, I’m tempted to say more. Gotta go, though!
- Damnit Janet on February 28, 2006 at 5:49 pm
  
  You, oh sensual godess of the beach chair are what this person would term…
  
  Scrumpscious. 🙂
  
  Happy Now?? Cue the botel bell hop in Mel Brooks High Anxiety …. happy now??? huh? huh?? are you? huh? happy now?? 🙂
  
  Smmoooochhhhaliscious
  - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:51 pm
    
    I am indeed happy now, because it is a well known fact that you haven’t ARRIVED until DJ calls you scrumptious!
    - Damnit Janet on February 28, 2006 at 6:03 pm
      
      post it note: Cry me a river by Lulu is awesome. A skinny white woman who can/could sing the blues : )
      
      You’re welcome SIN 🙂 I was riffraffing in other diaries. I would have come sooner but … you know how it goes 🙂
AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 3:36 pm

I took quite a few on the walk today, some of which I kind of like. Here’s the one I think is best.

- Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:00 pm
  
  That’s awesome! I love that little patch of green…must be something awfully hardy to survive the winter.
  
  I wish I could do panoramas with my camera.
  - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 4:22 pm
    
    The green patch are ferns — they fall over flat in the winter but they don’t lose the green.
- olivia on February 28, 2006 at 4:39 pm
  
  Yes! We’re (the viewers) better situated here d/t the fading in the background — we get a sense of perspective. Plus we can follow the depression along as it fades as well. And the green is noticeable SN! Lovely! If only we could walk w/ you.
Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 3:59 pm

A before and after shot from a few minutes ago:

Before:

And after:

Hang on northerners…spring is heading up there.
- AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 4:26 pm
  
  I think I like the before better. But either way it’s nice to see flowers blooming.
  - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:36 pm
    
    I like the before better too, but we have a ton of them in the yard and they smell so good!
- olivia on February 28, 2006 at 4:42 pm
  
  That is a luscious photo and you are Luscious for posting it SN! 😉
  - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:48 pm
    
    It was a luscious subject but only you could have done it justice!
maryb2004 on February 28, 2006 at 4:11 pm

I again had to delurk for a special news article. But this time I won’t put it in the News Bucket because what happens in the cafe stays in the cafe.

Some guy over at dKos posted this link

So you see — one CAN go back.
- Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:14 pm
  
  I read about that several months ago and was just so sad. They’re doing it to not only ‘regain’ their virginity, but lots of women are having plastic surgery done on their vulvas to look more ‘normal’…whatever that is. Isn’t there even one part of a woman’s body that isn’t subject to scrutiny?
- refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:32 pm
  
  This just sounds like self- hatred and mutilation to me.
- Cali Scribe on February 28, 2006 at 5:02 pm
  
  till the Religious Reich gets their hands on this? One can imagine Church-certified doctors performing the surgery while the family holds prayer meetings out in the waiting room.
  
  Reminds me of the “King of the Hill” episode where Luann (Hank & Peggy’s niece) becomes a “born-again virgin”, and Peggy as her sponsor has to confess that Hank was not her first — Hank moved down to the living room couch, refusing to sleep with “ruined merchandise”. Awesome episode… 🙂
  - IndyLib on February 28, 2006 at 5:10 pm
    
    That is a great episode. For me, the funniest part is when Peggy explains to LuAnn that she slept with her high school boyfriend in an attempt to help him figure out if he was gay, which he was, “…and this was back when being gay in Texas was not as much fun as it is today.” lol.
    - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:26 pm
      
      Oh Honey, trust me being gay in Texas ain’t no thrill now unless you live in a major city and even then it can be dangerous.
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:28 pm
        
        I just thought you should know that I am no longer to speaking to you. You and brinn are getting together and leaving me out and I am so jealous I could spit!
        
        Annnnnndiiiiii? When are you planning that midwest meetup?
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:31 pm
        
        Well, I guess is shouldn’t tell you about the wonderful lunch we had together a couple of weeks ago then should I? Did I say that out loud. Damn I guess the cat is out of the bag. LOL
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:32 pm
        
        SHE was the mysterious lunch lady?
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:34 pm
        
        yes and we had a blast and he youngest Quinn is the cutest little guy you could ever hope to meet.
      - brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 5:35 pm
        
        if I was IN a bag, I didn’t know about it!
        
        Oh, and what’s with all of this “mysterious lunch lady” crap? Was I SO much the person non grata around here that you couldn’t even “virtually” be “seen” with me?!
        
        har har har
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:39 pm
        
        ROTFLMAO!!!! I had no idea what your screen name was here but knew the one at MLW. I keep it simple by just having one screen name. LOL
      - brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 5:50 pm
        
        I am a huge pain in the ass where ever I go, or so I’m told — screen names, like RL ones, I have may of — guess ’cause I move around so much. Dunno but more fun that way!
        
        “Mysterious lunch lady” is cool too though, but I think only you and SN are allowed to call me that!
        lol
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:52 pm
        
        LOL!!! Well you remember the look of relief on my face when you walked in and I finally realised the right person was there.
      - brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 5:33 pm
        
        Except for the fact that you live in NC and refinsh and I live 13 miles from one another — got a wild hair that need tending?? Get your ass out here this weekend to the wake!
        
        BTW, how close are you to Asheville? and/or Blacksburg, VA?? I’ve got friends that I haven’t seen “in the flesh” for a very, very long time becuase I have been without funds for such travel, but I should be there again in a year or two….
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:35 pm
        
        I’m about 200 miles from Asheville. But it’s a fabulous drive.
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 5:35 pm
        
        Well since everybody would have to use the camp’s lake to wash and their outside johns, I think it better wait till it’s warmer.
        
        Seriously though, are you thinking about going to either the east coast or memphis meet-ups?
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:37 pm
        
        I’m weighing them both. Doesn’t that sound snobby? Actually it has alot to do with money, distance, timing, etc. I’ll just have to see what works.
      - IndyLib on February 28, 2006 at 5:28 pm
        
        I know; that’s why the joke is so hilarious. I like dark humor.
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:29 pm
        
        You and me both!!! I knew you were joking.
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:31 pm
        
        This is just a guess, but I bet it’s more fun in Texas than here in NC. Just ask Clay Aiken.
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:35 pm
        
        Amen to to that. I grew up in NC and even did a sit in at Jesse Helms office back in the late 80’s.
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:38 pm
        
        Wow, he must have been, what, about 90 in the late 80’s?
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:41 pm
        
        Near that. I also met the jerk when I was 20 and called him a bigoted asshole at a social function.
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 5:33 pm
        
        How are you doing?
        
        Have you seen this diary?
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:36 pm
        
        Doing great!!! Thank you. I saw the dairy and responded and am writing a letter tonight.
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 5:49 pm
        
        Hey you greedy pig that was for Indy 😛
        
        Just kidding — I knew that you had seen the diary because I saw your comment.
      - IndyLib on February 28, 2006 at 5:58 pm
        
        Yeah I saw it. I did not share other people’s interpretation of it. And I don’t really want to get into it, if it’s all the same to you.
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 6:00 pm
        
        Not a victory but with the news we have been getting even a little something is good sometimes. I know we still have to watch this state and do a lot of work.
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 6:13 pm
        
        Sure thing. Sorry.
      - IndyLib on February 28, 2006 at 6:20 pm
        
        Nothing for you to be sorry about, Andi.
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 6:27 pm
        
        but my mother trained me well and I’m so good at it. 😉
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 6:01 pm
        
        You mean it isn’t all about me? I could have sworn it was all about me and only me. LOL
refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:48 pm

Hi Folks!!! Just got back from early voting. I am still not use to it but it does beat voting on election day as I am usually working on a campaign.

I just found out that a documentary crew is doing a film on Kanab, Utah and the “Family” resolution I did the design about. So my design will be in a documentary.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Fat Tuesday!!!!
- Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:49 pm
  
  Congratulations! When and where will the documentary air?
  - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:51 pm
    
    Thanks!! That I don’t know but will keep you all informed.
- brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 4:52 pm
  
  Hey you! Are you still up for the 40th b-day wake, erm, party?? I’d love to have you there — shoot me an email and I’ll send you directions. Short person says “hi”!
  😉
  - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:54 pm
    
    I sure will
  - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:55 pm
    
    Give Quinn a hug for me!!!!
    - brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 4:58 pm
      
      I will, but you’ll be able to do it yourself if you come hang out with us on Saturday!
      BIG HUGS!
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:04 pm
        
        I will be there and maybe even have a surprise for you!!!! LOL
      - brinnainne on February 28, 2006 at 5:10 pm
        
        I have to take the boy you haven’t met yet to his first baseball practice, but I’ll send those directions later this evening!
        
        Yay! I’m so hgappy you’ll be there to exchange stories with people who have known me “in the flesh” forf many, many a year — oh yeah and wear black — it’s a wake after all!
        
        lololol
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:24 pm
        
        LOL well you know at my age I own a lot of black. I cannot wait. It sounds like it will be a blast.
Savage on February 28, 2006 at 4:49 pm

My first picket line arrest….

‘Plant unrest ;
Two men were charged after unrest at a picket line in Karns City Saturday morning and a water tank was damaged at the oil business early Sunday.

James Savage Jr., 41, of Trainer, and Charles Holland Jr., 59, of Bellmawr, N.J., tried to physically block trucks from crossing picket lines to enter the front gate at Penreco at 9:51 a.m. Saturday, said state police in Butler.

The men were cited with disor¬derly conduct, police said. A strike has been under way at the synthet¬ic oil company for about a week.

From the citation… Victim’s Name: “Society” BWAAAAHAHA
- Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 4:51 pm
  
  Luckily there are steps to protect “society” from dangerous criminals such as yourself. 🙂
  - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 4:58 pm
    
    Next stop Gitmo?
  - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:35 pm
    
    Let’s see if I can do this… here’s a pic:
    - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:36 pm
      
      Shit! Why so big?
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:41 pm
        
        Man – you’re HUGE!
      - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:44 pm
        
        hugely incompetent, maybe… ugh
      - Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 5:47 pm
        
        LOL…don’t worry, it’s almost time to open a new lounge anyway.
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:44 pm
        
        Damn I bet the cop was scared you are so big LOL
      - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:47 pm
        
        The cop didn’t have as much of a sense of humor as all of you, I can say that. Could have had something to do with the two trucks that ran into each other trying to get around us directly behind the photographer. Tied that plant gate up for hours…
    - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:39 pm
      
      Sorry, everyone. Looks like I fucked up the whole cafe… first time I attempted to post an image…
      - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:47 pm
        
        if it is at photobucket go resize it there by 75%
      - AndiF on February 28, 2006 at 5:51 pm
        
        The next time you do an image just add a width setting as
        
        <img src=”some url” width=”400″>
      - wilderness wench on February 28, 2006 at 5:52 pm
        
        Next time, try & preview first. Then you can resize before your post.
        Not to worry — we all make mistakes.
- refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 4:54 pm
  
  LOL!!! You evil radical you!!! How dare you ask for decent work conditions and pay. Keep up the good work!!!!
  - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:02 pm
    
    It’s not even my strike. Drove 350 miles each way to victimize society and walk the line with some dear friends… they’ve been served with an extremely severe injunction prohibiting almost any activity at all. After reading the injunction very carefully, my keenly-honed legal mind decided it didn’t apply to me. 🙂
    - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 5:03 pm
      
      Even better. We have to stand together for all our friends as we can. I salute you!!!!
      - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 5:12 pm
        
        At least a half-dozen trucks decided I was enough of an asshole that it was easier to simply leave, so… mission accomplished on some small scale, I suppose. Please reserve your salutes for the Brothers and Sisters of USW Local 889, though. They’re taking the stand.
- Damnit Janet on February 28, 2006 at 5:56 pm
  
  Whooot!!! Stopping trucks … and without even wearing superhero tights!
  
  You rock!!!
  - Savage on February 28, 2006 at 6:04 pm
    
    it was about 10 degrees F that morning… traded in the tights for thermal undergarments.
    - Damnit Janet on February 28, 2006 at 6:14 pm
      
      You mean… you didn’t strip off your outer clothing and show them your pink slip??? 🙂
      
      Nice to meet you Mr. Savage. Welcome aboard. Psssst… these people in here are INSANE!! 🙂
BooMan on February 28, 2006 at 6:04 pm

Okay. I’m off to drinking liberally. The front-page is short-staffed tonight so drinks will have to be dropped to half-price and the jukebox is free.
Second Nature on February 28, 2006 at 6:17 pm

New Lounge open!
- maryb2004 on February 28, 2006 at 6:45 pm
  
  Hey where did it go? One minute it was there and the next — poof!
- refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 6:45 pm
  
  where is it??????
  - maryb2004 on February 28, 2006 at 6:47 pm
    
    I guess I can open a froggy bottom one. Don’t know where Second nature’s went.
    - refinish69 on February 28, 2006 at 6:49 pm
      
      it was there and then vanished
  - Damnit Janet on February 28, 2006 at 6:48 pm
    
    Me three – I was responding to mary Hi Mary
    
    ((Refurb))) congrats on your design! 🙂 Wicked cool!
