What happened to Cabin Girl? I hate these people with real social lives. Pout.
Heh, all y’all are my social life.
Sorry your dinner was lousy. 🙁
Same here.
WHat’s really troubling is that I know exactly what ‘all ya’ll’ means.
I kinda look at it this way: a real social life would be nice, but, when I think of all of the losers that I’ve come into contact w/, why whould I want to bother?
Because around every turn is a new friend to be made.
Profound huh. 🙂
Yeah, but when you come into contact w/people who just don’t interest you, why bother? Seems like everyone really cool is on the net, as opposed to where I live.
social lives.
I get an afternoon off, and you’re giving me a hard time for it? Sheesh…
Wow, y’all have been busy, haven’t you?
I’m here! And, I have followed the advice about taking a break from Medicare D(isaster). Threw something together about a CIA agent being fired for leaking classified info. This is not one of my strong points, other than the First Amendment. No law=no law!
Felt like writing and dug around a bit, but not on Medicare D(isaster)–if that makes sense.
Boy, when you take a break, you work just as hard!
lol–I like to write, always have. And, believe it or not, I found throwing that together to be relaxing. I know, I’m wierd.
I have no clue!
larger
Thought I’d better get this out now before all the “wise ones” retire for the evening.
Puffed puffball mushrooms!
I’m w/Indy here… they look like puffballs to me too… only ones that have already erm… shot their, um puffed out their stuff, so to speak.
You pharsed that so succinctly.
Ewww. Well, there’s moss on the ground, so it’s moist and shady. But those don’t look like dried up mushrooms. Maybe some sort of seed pod?
🙂
OMG, ya mean the’re loose and running around the place, what should I doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
you should definitely break the margins. 😀
but you came close enough that I felt like teasing 🙂
On that note, it is now 55 minutes past the time I was supposed to leave for work. Have a great weekend everyone, and try not to disturb the napping basset hound! You’ll get “the look“.
for a while.
Got to go for a walk, back in a half.
They look like puffball mushrooms after they expelled their spores.
They expel their spores? I hope mr. nature doesn’t hear that or he’ll use it for his new pickup line.
😉
tree fell over years ago, so stump is bent at roughly 45 degrees, so photo is from top, the side of tree stump
🙂 🙂
I’ve been tromping through the woods for days trying to take a picture that shows how the dogwood flowers look like snow suspended in air so of course the best shot turns out to be on the driveway.
Far out, man.
came to mind, and then I see Indy’s Far Out Man, lol
Used to be my favorite saying.
Back when you were a flannel shirt-wearing John Denver fan?
No back when I had a ponytail down my back, a scraggly beard and no idea of where I was most of the time. 😛
Ah, the 70’s.
I heard about them, but don’t remember them.
Here, this oughtta bring some of it back:
Whoa. That would have been way to dressy for me.
You forget where I’m from. I was one of the cool guys that hung out by the still.
I didn’t much have you pegged for a leisure suit larry, Family Man, I just figured disco was half the reason why a lot of people stayed so stoned in the 70s that they don’t remember much from then. 😉
::whispers:: Many of us gays still like the disco, though.
I liked and still do like some disco, but I also like other.
Actually in the 70’s I think I did own one leisure suit.
But, ah, well it was bought for me.
Ooh, do you have a spinning disco ball in your bedroom?
No, but I have a black light.
I’ll bet George’s snaggleteeth look uber-scary in the blacklight.
Speak for yourself, Indy! 🙂 Unless it’s got George Clinton and Bootsy Collins in it… in which case, ok, I still like it. hehe
You mean that woods-y path? 🙂
but that’s just one little piece of my 1000 foot driveway.
Knowing that makes me want to visit you both even more!
it does discourage uninvited visitors (and invited ones for that matter) so it probably is attractive to a Big I™
And the fact that it is ‘uninviting’ is the cherry on top!
Don’t say that around Indy – she doesn’t like cherries. But she can tie the stem with her tongue which makes her okay in my book.
I love a woman with her priorities in order.
Funny when the heading is ‘it sounds absolutely heavenly…’
of Twin Peaks and you can get a part.
I never watched that show, so I’m missing the joke.
That’s a very useful skill … 😉
I am treading so carefully around this thread.
Why start now?
Relax, let it all out, it’s Friday in the cafe… 😉
You don’t want her to let it all out, just some of it.
So far in this life I’ve managed to not be responsible for any divorces, and I’d like to keep it that way. 😉
don’t we have a big ego. 😉
Well, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout “we” now, but I have left a long trail of very satisfied women behind me. ;p
I have a long trail of them ahead of me. 😛
Just to add to the mystique of my sexuality…in case you needed more.
Now that’s what I’d expect someone who can tie a cherry stem w/ her tongue to say!!! 🙂

Redemption song? I love the version with Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash. And now they’re both dead so it gets to me every time.
Joe Strummer & Johnny Cash version?
I may have to hit up the iTMS for that one.
Jim I recognize 2 songs and 5 bands/performers.
Does that make my list bleeding edge or totally out of it or both?
I’m glad the AC is working for you again. We’re still in those lovely 2 seasons when we need no heating or air conditioning at home.
The powers-that-be did turn on the AC at school today. Since I teach sixth graders who over ripen after recess, I was very happy. Deodorant has been a spelling word all year long, but some of them still don’t know what it means.
Your list means I’m totally out of touch with music.
I can’t stop laughing about you recess problem. I think that’s the best laugh I’ve had all day.
or more old. Just how long have you been out of touch with music?
I’ve been gong in an out of it for a long time.
Back in the 60’s it was mostly soul and top 10.
70’s was the same, but a lot more hard rock/concerts.
80’s that’s hard to say. Rock & Euro
90’s can’t remember buying a CD.
00’s streaming radio, Live Ireland mostly.
Live Ireland?
It’s a station out of Dublin that plays modern and traditional celtic music.
I usually put on the traditional and leave that for background. I haven’t been listening to it long enough to know names of songs and people, but I like the music.
That’s cool. There’s a station here that plays Celtic music one night a week. I like it in small doses, but you get kind of tired of tin whistles after awhile.
Actually I like the flutes and violins (fiddles). I love the songs with either of those that have long solos.
Forgot to add, then again I was a big Jethro Tull fan, so in my older age, I’ve just gone to a different form of flute music.
Anyone having anything interesting for dinner? I just made an omlet here.
I’m having baked chicken, although I don’t think that qualifies as interesting. My diet has really suffered from the all the packing I’ve been doing, I haven’t had time to cook, so tonight I made it a priority. I fall apart if I don’t eat well.
What’d you put in your omelet?
Soy cheese and soy links. Am a sometime vegetarian. But I do eat chicken and fish.
That’s how my mom was, mostly vegetarian but she liked both chicken and fish from time to time.
I recently found out that you can grow a chicken from a chick to almost full size under a heat lamp in a couple of months, so now I kinda think of them as vegetables. 🙂
Can you grow bacon? ‘Cause if you could I’d be a vegetarian.
There is some available that is made of soy. It’s pretty good.
you poor people don’t even know what bacon is.
You have to go out to the smokehouse to get a ham or slab of bacon.
Have always hated ham, make that any pork. But, the soy bacon works for me.
I have an awful story about a pig I thought was my pet while my dad and stepmom both thought I was smart enough to figure out what the pig’s eventual fate was, but I shan’t tell it. 🙂 Let’s just say I should’ve named that pig Bacon.
Please don’t tell me his name was Wilbur or I’ll cry. But I still really want a BLT.
Could his name have been Arnold?
Her name was Molly.
“Wilbur, don’t go to the light!” Fern (Indy) cried.
Okay, that was hilarious.
My favorite character was Charlotte.
I have a CD of E.B. White reading Charlotte’s Web. I read the book with 2nd and 3rd graders once upon a time. I would play the CD for them so that the struggling readers could keep up. When the story gets to Charlotte’s death (Damn, did I just give away the climax?), you can hear the tears in his voice.
No, I think we already knew it.
That reminds me of when my daughter had to read Where the Red Fern Grows in 6th grade and this was before her ADD was diagnosed and I didn’t realize she was having a test on the book the next day and was only on the first chapter.
So I speed-read her the whole book in about 45 minutes and toward the end where the dog dies I burst into tears and couldn’t go on. Then we both cracked up laughing and I was crying and laughing at the same time. I wonder what she got on that test? I can’t remember.
LOL–have to keep that in mind!
How are you doing? You sound less tired than you have lately.
Has the condo re-do started yet?
What I am, I think, is all keyed up emotionally. The good-bye lunch yesterday with my friend made this move real. I am afraid I’ll never see her again, and realistically, I may never see Flagstaff again because the disability really does make traveling very hard.
I actually cried at the grocery store today, thinking, “Oh, this will probably be the last time I shop here.” Clearly, I’m a big ole sappy dumbass. 🙂
And no to the other thing, we’re having all the work done once we’re out, which seems much easier.
Given how I feel about grocery shopping, I would only cry if it wasn’t the last time.
I can see how you could get pretty teary over leaving Flagstaff — I found it to be a pretty appealing place. It’s one of the few towns I’ve been to in the southwest that I ever gave any thought to as a place to live.
It is an amazing place. I have loved it here.
But it’s also true that the damn doctors here will kill you (this sounds like hyperbole but it isn’t), so it’s probably a good thing I’m getting out now. The adrenal aspect of my autoimmune disease is kinda serious and really needs better care than I can get here.
It’s crappy to have to leave because you can’t get decent health care. But I’m glad that you have the option to go somewhere where you can — even if it is Dayton.
On the Twin Peaks joke, that ability was part of a major plot point and way too complicated to bother with.
Dayton will be worth it just for the proximity to you, Andi. And I mean that in all sincerity.
And who knows maybe I’ll eventually seduce you and roomie into thinking about moving to Bloomington.
Large chocolate malt here.
You just reminded me that I needed a fresh cup of coffee–w/mocha!
When I drank coffee, I would never get to sleep if I drank it after 12:00 pm. Enjoy.
I am a coffee-holic. Guess that is hereditary for me, as my dad was the same way. At least two pots of coffee a day is normal for me.
While I was working it was the same with me.
But I would get up even earlier than I do now.
I would have a pot before I left home and then one during work.
I had pizza and chocolate.
I hope not at the same time.
The best kind!
I guess it couldn’t be any different from a pineapple pizza.
That’s my favorite! Bacon, pineapple, jalapenos and onions. It’s the only way I can eat pizza – which I rarely do, making me quite unpopular in my family.
I’ve never had one with pineapple. But if you say so. 🙂
Stike the pineapple and it sounds great!
No, no…see, you got to have the sweetness of the pineapple, the hot peppers and the saltiness of the bacon together. Try it and get back to me.
Pineapples on pizza? Not in the least bit interested.
No pizza for Andi and SN.
Your salmon sounded good?
I’m impressed with taste buds that like the combo of bacon, pineapple, and jalapenos.
My marinated, grilled salmon seems tame in the face of that. 🙂
What can I say – it fits my contrary personality. Never satisfied, never sure what I want but I know I want complexity. Like sweet and spicy at the same time.
I’ve got a move for that, too.
and move it over to the new cafe. I’m ready to hear more.
— it’s way better than fruit! We’re talking about chocolate FM! 🙂
I have heard of dessert pizzas, but I think your joshing me.
BTW where did the term joshing come from?
I had pepp, mushroom, grn olive pizza and smooth, dark choc for dessert.
joshing … the first link from googling.
I just can’t handle that one–pineapples on a pizza. But, chicken or shrimp are good, but not together.
I think the only thing I can’t handle on a pizza is anchovies.
Anchovies are disgusting. That is another one that I refuse to eat.
Sens are up 3-1!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!
Pink tulip, for a pink lady… bleeding hearts later!
I appreciate it even more b/c it is pink — and therefore likely one of the few flowers of its colour in your wonderful garden! 🙂
And I guess from now on, we’ll think of them as Olivia’s tulips … they were in a mix I planted several years ago… but for some more pink (just to show you I’m not that much of a curmudgeon… here’s some more just coming into their own…
BH is so unique — lovely IVG! They look like tiny flamingos! Or little ruby-jewelled bracelets!
I’m starting to get a little bit of a headache going here, so I’m calling it a night.
See ya’ll tomorrow.
Oooh, I hope you can ward that off, FM. Sleep well.
Take care FM — get some rest! {{FM}}
Hope you feel better in the morning… or late night as the case may be, FM. Go snuggle up with George and you’ll feel better!
I’m going to go open a new lounge.
Okay head ’em up, move ’em on.
