Pending the full moon, Xanax is in the candy dish by to the door
|
Please recommend
(and unrecommend the Cafe from earlier) |
May the 4’s be with you
Maybe someone can whip up a Xanax margarita. I’ll bet DJ has a good recipe laying around.
Since Rosie is the bartender, shouldn’t that be a Xerox margarita? Extra toner, stirred, not shaken. * BEEP! *
Nope no xanax, but I can make some medicinal mango margaritas.
My computer is freaking out. 🙁 I blame Bush… I REALLY DO!
and 2 eclipses this month.
Froggybottom, I didn’t mean to beat you in the door! Sorry.
Was that link supposed to keep sending us back to this lounge like we were in some neverending loop?
Which might be appropriate.
Thank God, I thought it was just me.
Maybe it’s the Twilight ZONE Lounge.
Too funny.
I was going to tell you this in the last cafe but I had too much work to really de-lurk. Our botanical garden is having a Chihuly exhibit starting at the end of April. I saw a Chihuly exhibit at a greenhouse in Chicago a few years ago and it was great. So I’m really looking forward to this one.
And throughout the rest of the garden too.
Can I come visit then?
Sure. You can bring the boys too.
Or perhaps like the world’s best blonde joke?
Hmmmm now I really think there is something wrong with my computer.
I normally I have heard every blond joke known to … man… human kind.
Is it in text or some video thingy that I don’t have the program for?
Ohhhh OMIR!!! I’m gonna git you one day!!!!
LOL 🙂
Sorry for stepping on your cafe toes, froggybottom.
How’s the hangover?
That was some Booman birthday party yesterday. I drank too much, ate too much. The extra booze and cake got vacuumed.
Ya know, good thing I had a designated driver to get me off the keyboard and upstairs to bed.
to the vet. How much did they like it? This much:
um, what is Hopeful doing to Sniff?
He’s not doing anything — he’s was just an obstacle between Sniff and the door of the exam room.
They look like my kids the one and only time I tried to make them eat tuna casserole.
That photo is so hilarious. The poor things look so upset — so different from how we usually see them. Hopeful’s (I think?) tail is disappearing!
🙂
I think Hopeful thinks if he stands looking in the corner so he can’t see the vet, the vet can’t see him.
That’s the “I no looky” defense. 🙂
Dricers, dogs and toddlers use it all the time.
Great photo!!
Hi DJ.
I’ve been noticing how often the color of your drinks and the color of olivia’s flowers match. I think you two should coordinate one evening and post matching color flower and drink pictures. 😉
You’ll be happy to know I bought the Mr. a nice stout ale… can’t remember what kind now… oh John Barleycorn. He really liked it. I’ll bring you one or 12 when I beam up with Olivia to your farm. 🙂
I ready to go anytime!
You don’t want a lady who uses terms like “thingy” and “dohickey” and who typically thumps electronics to get them to work or performs the magical Blonde reboot function on most failing appliances which is to uunplug the item, wave the plug around and if no one is looking – blow off any possible dust off the electrical prong thingy and then replug it back in. Normally it works 🙂
But I’ll hop over and pick you up 🙂
And oh the fun we could have!!!
Jim, the dogs, and I are ready for you two to show up any time (if you show up while Jim and I go on vacation, the dogs have volunteered to entertain you both on their own).
…when you go away?
And make them leave the lovely woods filled with beauty and wonders and things that are just waiting to be eaten?
know where you stash the really hard stuff and do you get Center Ice? 🙂
No center ice but we do get some college hockey on the satellite. And at our house, the really hard stuff is something that was shoved to the back of the fridge and forgotten about.
I’d like some lefse with just butter, no sugar, and a couple of shots of Linie Aquavit

oh wow! just wow!
does that mean you’ll seriously consider the Northern BT B&B convention?
Was that going to include people other than you and me?
yet to be determined…
When you get a crowd committed to coming let me know 🙂
actually aren’t conventions like conspiracies… don’t we need a third?
Hey, I thought I was invited to that…
you were, we just hadn’t rcvd confirmation… Great so here’s our 3rd, now we’ve got a conspiravention.
at how gorgeous that is and what a great photographer you are.
Hey, now, don’t be swelling my head!!! Or I’m going to have to make one of those AndiF-style-comments, like “I just walk out on the little 2nd floor deck, and point and shoot.” Which is pretty much how it goes, just like you guys taking your daily walk.
(Thanks for the compliment)
Definitely worth waiting for. This is breathtaking NDD!
Thanks, And I’d say anyone who hasn’t recently checked your link <b<~my photos</b> is missing a wonderful treat.
preview is my friend, repeat…
Thanks for visiting!
Actually, I forgot to warn the visitors to unroll a ball of twine on the way in, so they can find their way back out again, as I mentioned once before… I had some difficulty with finding my way back out, of course if I’d been of a different genderific persuasion I could have just asked any one of the many other people I bumped into there…
That is just beautiful.
Yay! I just gave one month notice! Actually, I asked my boss to initiate a no-fault separation (so I can collect UI if needed, i.e. don’t find another job right away), and a modest severance to help me move my stuff back home to LA. We agreed on what projects I would finish up before I leave. I feel so relieved, and he seems relieved, too! So let’s hope exit strategy goes as planned, without a hitch….
I so outta here!
Yay! I bet you’re mighty relieved to be getting out of there. Planning any “special drinks” for your coworkers before you leave?
Absolutely! I think I will make a very special cup of coffee for each and every one of them!
I am so glad to hear that!
Happy to hear you’re giving that one the ol’ heave-ho!
Biggest mistakes of my life time have always been hanging on to dead-duck situations, too much of a waste of one’s life.
Best wishes in the next situation!!!
I’ve been thinking of you since that last event you posted about. I’m so glad that you can get out of the situation without too much trouble. Definitely worth celebrating!!!
Thanks, olivia! I felt lots of good thoughts and energy propping me up to get through this!
is that I can both hear it and smell it besides view it.
And it makes me terribly lonesome for the ocean and my friends on the West Coast.
Thanks, NDD! I will really living in this gorgeous place and the opportunity to steal little bits of its soul with my camera!
Another wonderful photo — I’ll miss them when you move back but I’m glad you’ve got a somewhat decent resolution to a really bad situation.
Thanks Andi! I have 1000s in reserve and plan to take thousands more before I leave, so I’ll be able to put them up for years and years, I hope!
He’s relieved??? He sounds like he needs a flaming pinecone enema. What a turd.
Anyways.. I am so happy for you. Sucks you have to find another job, but it will beat out working for Piss man, Inc.
My husband said you should write about that place and enter one of those “Worst Boss” online contests and make a bundle.
He and our friend just left “worst jobs”. Welcome to the real world, beautiful!! We love you!
that he’s not getting his ass hauled into court…
Congrats, MM! Good luck on the move back south…
Exactly! And thanks for your good wishes!
Thanks for the great laugh! ROFLOL!! Flaming pine cone enema!!!
I’m definitely saving this up for my memoirs! Myth Mother’s Diary (also with Colin Firth playing crushingly sexy snob).
Linie Aquavit eneevay?
Blue Dot Martini
Shake with ice and pour into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with gummy fish.
we need a flower to match!
It’s a rush job — not one of my finest, but it’s the only one that even remotely comes close. It’s blue and yellow!
Blue Dot Flower, taken 10.02.2005
You are fantastic!!!
Pssst I didn’t mean for you to have to copy the blue dot… next time I’ll make it more realistic 🙂
pink is much easier … yellow too. But it is The Blue Dot, so it sorta has to be blue, right? And don’t restrict yourself in anyway — I love what you post in all its crazy glory! 🙂
find drinks to match your flowers, too.
That’s pretty close and even better, I think it’s one I hadn’t seen before.
yes, that’s what took so long — I had to go searching through my archives for a blue flower w/ yellow no less. 🙂
Then I had to shrink in and upload it.
because I made you work too hard — I guess I imagined that you had these flower are perfectly catalogued in your brain and would immediately know exactly which one would work.
Don’t feel bad — you are most definitely correct: I knew that I had a blue flower (didn’t realize it had the yellow — that was luck) but I just had to dig it out. I hadn’t planned on uploading it, so it wasn’t in my queue (file).
Whew! One less guilt trip for me. 🙂
and on that bright note, good night.
mmmmm
can I share some of the blue drink Andi?
It’s all yours. I don’t do drinks that look like part of the color scheme for miami vice. 🙂
really I do. But right now I feel like I just need to turn the damn computer off for like 24 hours and stick my head in a bucket of ice water.
So I’m going to. Wish me luck! Well, I mean mentally wish me luck because if I actually go through with my plan I won’t be able to read your well-wishes. 🙂
May I just add: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
let me get this straight.
Does that mean you are going to soak your head in ice water for 24 hours or….what ??
I love you, too 🙂
If I can get this to you in time, I just want you to know I appreciated many of your comments today. I just got on line and discovered yet another blow up that could have been avoided with a simple “I’m sorry, how can I fix the problem?” You did a spendid job however in trying to work out the problem. Thank you.
I second kamakhya’s comment, and want to know if your bucket is big enough for me to stick my head into too… 🙂
BTW, CG, I also owe you my thanks as well for some truly excellent comments. (Same goes to Omir.)
Think I’ll crank up a little Floyd on the TT
grab a cold one and veg.
Later, maybe…
Peace
PS: consider yerself’s 4’d…when the threads go into dynamic my rate all button vanishes.
One of the sexier song starters “Shine on you crazy diamond” Could put that intro on a loop…
Just found out it’s been snowing for a WEEK at my old place. Phone & Elect has been out for most. ACK.
I lived and breathed Pink Floyd in the early 80’s. One of my favorite memories is seeing them live in NYC in 1986 or 87. They had these killer back up singers that were just too sexy for words. Their voices had me in near rapture.
That must have been wild!
My husband is a huge Pink Floyd fan. He somehow can always get in a title or lyric from one of the songs into any conversation.
one of the kids will be saying, “this is just like… just like…”
and he’ll chime in with “just like Pigs on the wing”
It’s lovingly… annoying 🙂
Love pink floyd. Excellent choice. 🙂
Are we related? I don’t have any sisters, but I sure do wish so many of you here were. Or.. maybe you all are because of “here” 🙂
btw… stinking Comcast (US television cable company) hosed up the Center Ice feed and had technical issues with the Sharks vs Kings game last night. I called them, too. ACK
Didn’t get to see Cheechoo get his FOURTH hat trick and the Sharks won 4-3. We got two points! I made 6 points in the hockey pool 🙂
That’s too bad about Cheechoo — I caught the highlights last night. He’s rocking right now!
I’m watching the Sens and TBay.
Have to get Danni off to her first band recital here. It’s with high schoolers. Whoooooo.
I hope no more friends have left the blog before I get back tomorrow. :*(
I haven’t been commenting too much lately, but I do read and catch up… So, hugs to all my dear friends over here!
Is it safe in here?
You didn’t see the big hex sign over the door? 🙂
No, I didn’t. I just kept my head down as I came through the door. I told myself to not make eye contact with anybody and to try to blend into the background.
I just got back. Should I be glad I was gone?
Nah, we’re just glad to see YOU!
No, nothing happened, but I’ve been perusing the day’s offerings in the diaries…
did some of them remind you of a day in high school?
No comment. All I can say is that my eyes are tired.
be right back.
New non-twilight zone cafe over here.
