George, it looks like its going to be a slow night.
I don’t know, it’ll probably get moving in a little while. But George is ready as he lets out a loud burp from his beer. I think Refinish or Andi snuck it to him.
You don’t fool me. You’re the one that gives George the beer. You are an enabler.
Poor George … George! Get away from that keg.
I am not. I saw SN give it to him.
Mary you’ve got to do a better job of managing this place. Letting poor dog waiters get drunk.
Now that you’ve proved yourself such a capable host I can resign and leave all the management to you!
You better not. I’ll pull a maryb and become “Slacker Supreme”
I’m not yet ready to relinquish that tiara.
If you do that your evil twin will just volunteer you to spend your saturdays taking kids with ADHD to Chuck E. Cheese.
Is that what YOU did today?
That would have been an improvement.
I’m sorry, but there is NOTHING worse than Chuck E Cheese on a Saturday. Nothing.
I always get Chuck E Cheese confused with that horror movie guy Chuckie. Or maybe they really are the same. Since I refuse to go to horror movies, I don’t know for sure.
They instill the same feelings in me…fear, horror, dread, the need to let out a bloodcurdling scream…
Are you talking Chuck E Cheese or movies?
Chuckie movies, Chuck E Cheese, same thing.
AMEN!!!!!
there there, don’t think about that bad place (or that bad man)
have a cosmo
Ooh, I feel all better now…chuck who?
Geez now you have me confused. Are you talking about me or Chucky?
but after enough beers who knows who you see in the reflection of the mirrors.
Peace
dada it’s like you’ve known George all his life.
FM, every dog I’ve ever been around has liked beer…except Bu. It’s weird…kinda like left handedness…which every dog I’ve ever known has been…long story.
Peace
you had left handed dogs? Wouldn’t that be left pawed?
isn’t that against the law?
Peace
I can see you and George will get along fine. Just don’t let Mary see you sneaking him any. She gets a little huffy.
I gave him a white russian
Okay George get them drinks rolling and crank the tunes!!!
George is already rolling. He and Cat used me as a bouncing board a little while ago.
They were just jamming to the party mix of it’s raining men
Since both had that fateful snip – snip at the vets years ago, I don’t think the music would be right.
ROTFLMAO!!! Okay we get out the Sylvester album.
Hi all! I don’t have to confess to what I’m reading now, right?
Yes enquiring minds want to know what trashy romance novel you are reading. LOL
Actually, with me it’s not romance — it’s trashy mystery novels. Although what I’m currently reading is pure fluff and not in the mystery genre.
Okay I read the Sneaky Pete series and also Lillian Jackson Braun’s cat detective series. so I can not say a word. LOL
I’ve read quite a few of those cat detective ones, too! Never heard of the Sneaky Pete series, though — is it any good?
Yes and it is by Rita Mae Brown
I want to know Izzy. That is if it’s a real dirty book with a lot of details. If it’s high brow, then nope, you don’t have to confess.
Neither dirty nor high brow. So am I off the hook? (although after my recent television revelations, I don’t know what I’m embarrassed about — it’s not like I have a reputation that can be sullied or anything…)
In here if anybody tries to sully your reputation, they have to come through George and me.
BTW what does sully mean? 😉
I still want to know what BOOK!!!!!
Okay, okay! Settle down! It’s not even a book — it’s the whole series of Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella. The embarrassing part isn’t even that I’m reading them, or that I’ve read them all in the past week, it’s that I’ve read them repeatedly. Every time I’m stressed out I re-read them and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books.
The Guide is good when you’re stressed. Don’t panic.
Shopping, however, only stresses me more. Unless its on line shopping.
I like them both because they’re funny. In fact, the Shopoholic books start with “Don’t panic” and it’s repeated often throughout. I’ve wondered if it was some sort of nod to the Hitchhiker books, although they couldn’t be more different otherwise.
Great and do you go buy a new one each time. LOL
LOL!! No — I’m not a shopaholic myself, thank goodness.
LOL me either unless I have money!!!
Is this a private party?
Olivia no party is complete without you.
Never — this is the public lounge portion of BT. Much more fun that many other parts. Pull up a bar stool and George will get you what you want.
Grab a drink, start dancing to the tunes are grab a seat and gab with the rest of us.
I was going to say something about partying privates but then I thought that perhaps this would be an inappropriate way to talk to our much more refined and polite neighbors to the north.
so we are bringing in the marines from Fort Bragg? LOL
You know, this was the first Saturday I’ve had with no chores or commitments and I thought I’d noodle away the day on the internet — but it was really lonely! There was no one around all day, and then I saw maryb’s café and it was like an oasis.
It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to see you all!
I don’t know why I haven’t before, but I visited your site today and it’s lovely and bookmarked now.
Mine? I also have one at rubyslippercafe.com
Meant to say thank you also. LOL
Refinish I just tried it and it appears shut down.
it is suppose to be The Ruby Slipper Cafe
I like it. You do have talent.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much FamilyMan. Don’t feel shy about commenting, ahem… hint hint ;~)
Yo Olivia! What’s this I hear about explicit sex in the garden pix?
Inquiring minds want to know…I foretell an Oprah show in your future…to bad Springer’s gone..eh? :{)
Peace
Alright I didn’t see that. What’s the password, where ya gotta go. Olivia don’t hold out on us. 😉
Now wait… sex in the garden????? Why wasn’t I informed?
Yes… I thought if I added racy photos it would increase my site traffic. ;~)
what is the link to your site
Don’t be shy Lookie here.
Great photo BTW.
PS: CG, what’d I do? 3? Au contraire…moi?
Peace
That’s the most explicit photo I’ve ever seen.
LOL I think Family Man has led a sheltered life.
You know it. 🙂
well, I guess I could send you some photos but wait…. maybe not. LOL
a bit of the old Carl Nyberg treatment…
don’t you yet realize that The SCOTUS is extraordinary?
Peace
Stunning Photos!!!! I will do more looking tomorrow.
Ya it didn’t have sex in it, soooo you’ll check it out tomorrow. 😉
LOL
You two are very funny… 🙂
I try and keep the troops entertained.
Arrghh…fixed.
I am tired. I started the day off having to round up eight chickens in my pajamas (with onlooking neighbor, no less) this morning…
I was sooo hoping we could get through one whole lounge without the chickens.
But nooooooooo
But, but, but…don’t you like my chickens?
I hope your neighbor did a video so we can see you on America;’s funniest home videos. LOL
I think the worst part was that I was still pulling on my pajama pants on my way to the door, when the kids opened the door and the neighbor was walking up to tell me the chickens were loose (which we already knew by then)…and did I mention that this is the neighbor who had a crush on me a few years ago (which I had NOTHING to do with), and whose wife still glares at me or ignores me every time we run into each other?
It sucked.
I can see the modern day version of Peyton Place. LOL
and now she develops alzheimer’s
or since it’s only intermittent, someheimer’s
no it is called crs cann’t remember shit LOL
CG been there done that with with George. I let him out one morning without his leash. He took after another dog and I’m running down the street in my underwear screaming at him to stop. Of course all the neighbors were leaving for work at that time. I still get funny stares from a few of them. 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
If it had been someone else I would too.
Well, I had to chase Billy the Beagle down the street in SF in my uderwear but there noone cared. LOL I have chased the Diva dogs here in nothing but knit boxers and a tshirt before. LOL
Yes but you got to remember I’m in red state, southern baptist, bible thumping Alabama. Eyelids were raised.
LOL well I know live in the Rhinestone that is the Middle stone in the BUckle of the BIble Belt. LOL
What were the chickens doing in your pajamas?
</rimshot>
that WAS good
🙂
::weeps:: dial-up ::weeps some more::
Honey ain’t they ever going to get cable out in your neck of the woods?
Nope because there aren’t enough necks in my woods.
SWLC! *
* sympathetic wench-like chortle
Andi… I’m with you. I can’t even read and 4 these comments — let alone reply to them — fast enough!
Curses! I’ve been waiting to talk w/ you all all day and now I can’t even get into the conversation!
Just stay in one place and make everyone come to you.
but what really makes me weep is that I won’t live long enough to see the page at your blog finish loading. 😉
It’ll get there eventually or maybe satelite will start offering internet
That’s a (typically) amazing photo over there, my dear. Just magnificent.
The most magnficent thing of all, is that I didn’t get stung once all summer with all my butting into their ::ahem:: private moments of total bliss… 🙂
I’ve done much of the same (though not as well) & I’ve never been stung either.
Maybe the key is r-e-s-p-e-c-t.
I think you’re on to something. I’ve worked in my gardens…such as they are in the short season we have…and even when picking raspberries, pruning/deadheading flowers. or just being near or under budding fruit trees/thickets (wild plum) I’ve never been stung.
If you are not threatening, or perhaps wearing perfume or other scented ?, I’ve found that I can reach right into the middle of them and be secure.
It’s frankly cool to interact with nature and the myriad creatures that inhabit it without apprehension.
Peace
dada, didn’t know you gardened! Any photos? 😉
I agree w/ you both. It’s an awareness of your person and a respect for their space and how you move about in it.
Well said. My house is on a very small lot…50′ X 75’…and it’s very shady because of all the old trees. My ‘gardening’ is primarily reductive these days. Trying to keep the fruit trees and bushes, ground covers, etc. healthy (no lawn…no mowing) My flower gardens consist of large pots in the ctyd. and on the decks that I plant annuals in.
As for pix, I’ll leave that to you. :{)
Peace
That’s amazing.
Greetings from snowy California:
Took this shot of Mt. Hamilton from the top of the parking garage down at the Oakridge Shopping Center; spouse and I were erranding today and it was actually one of the best places to get the snow shots.
Definitely good to be home…it is getting quite chilly out — ambient temperature is reportedly about 50, but there’s a relatively stiff breeze that’s causing some wind chill.
Tonight’s plans — laundry and catching up on our DVR backlog…
Hi Cali. That’s a great picture. I would have thought you were in the middle of no where.
That’s a beautiful image, Cali. From the top of a parking garage .. ? Wow.
Hope you’re warm & cozy. Temperatures here are predicted to remain in the low 50s this coming week & I’m about to break out the Ray-bans & Bermudas (if not my Stanley Kowalski undershirt).
105 comments in slightly over an hour. Is that some kind of record? Don’t answer here; answer over here at the new lounge
