Is anyone still awake?
For 20-30 min at least… goddess bless you Izzy! (And I didn’t even hear a sneeze!)
Why thank you, IVG! And you know, I have been feeling a little sinus-y today now you mention it.
Me too, I think the trees must be starting to bloom here… that’s the one seasonal allergy I have left (after conquering others over the years) that really gets me sneezing now. The rest, alas, I fear will always be with me (e.g. cats, dust mites, etc.)
I have all those as well. Thank goodness they’ve gotten a lot better as I’ve gotten older. I hope they don’t bother you too much.
Same here… I guess there’s one good thing about aging just a bit. Funny thing was, I used to have awful allergies when I was growing up here, but then living in WI and FL (especially) they seemed to go away and then I developed new ones down South. When I moved back up here, I was fine for a year or so, then some started coming back, but much less severe than they used to be. Paltry benefit for having graying hair, but I can live with it!
If you’re 40 something a just greying, you’re in good shape. I was totally white by 35…with exception of the goatee portion of my beard…which is now colorless as well.
Just hope they don’t all fall out…:{)
I started losing some hair and graying when I was about 25, but I’m more the salt/pepper variety now (in what’s left, lol!) Yeah, my goatee has its blondish spots now, but I just blame that on my scandahoovian heritage (yeah right!) I’m sure NDD knows all about that, if he’s still awake, hehe.
so I’m pleading the 5th on all this.
… and I seem to recall 2 years …. hmmm …. 😉
… but you do realize you’re giving it away here w/ all the deets right?! LOL … 🙂
they’re elders, not dead…some respect, please. :{)
… according to your guess of his photo … 🙂
hey, whaddaya mean cut you out? Numbers were posted for all the world to see… if the electro-gremlins get ya they get ya, nothin’ much we can do about that from down here in the lower 48…
I’m just working on my certificate for precocious geezerhood, if I can ever finish FM’s rigorous syllabus. And, btw, I noticed he posted in the Dog Blog thread earlier. Sooo glad to see he’s back in form. I’ve missed him lately.
😉
It was good to see FM check in, hopefully he won’t have any lingering h/a’s or drowsines …
That’s good to hear, though I’m not sure what that ferny secret is, LOL.
I will say this, though… one of my very earliest memories is of the Cuban missile crisis, when I had no real idea what a nuclear weapon was. But my sister’s description of what it did scared the bejeezus out of me. I was a precocious kid, even if I didn’t fully understand what things were. Remember… I used to wonder why people would talk about having “church keys” and why they needed one to get in there, since we only went once a week, and I never saw my parents use one there!
… in the other cafe, and then you brought up the fern bars and the whole age thing … okay, nevermind it’s way too late LOL! I think I’m half asleep so I won’t even remember all the deets you guys spilled tonight … 😉
yeah, I’m probably 3/4 asleep myself… no biggie here. Just playful jesting on us guys’ part… you know, women have to have their cagey age secrets, and we’re vain enough to do the same. Though I did take slight umbrage at being referred to as an “elder.” I may be a Dead Head, but I’m not an elder yet! At least last time I looked, lol. It’s not the stars that got smaller, it’s the pictures! as Norma Desmond once said in a great film that we have to make dada watch sometime… hehe. He hates my cinema references!
I will admit to having some aquaintance with.
Yeah, my allergist was telling me that about moving — not to count on the allergies staying gone if they cleared up at first. Mine, however, turned out to be the more hard-wired type. I moved a lot and had them either gone or bad almost immediately. They started improving quite a bit in my 30s.
Then, I moved back to Washington state where I’d lived 2 years before with no problems. Now I’ve been here 8 years and never developed new ones, so I guess I’m okay. Also, I have cats. Through the years I’ve noticed when I have no pets, all my allergies get worse. When I have a cat, it takes me awhile to adjust but then they all get better. My allergist also tells me there’s a perfectly good reason for this.
going into town after finishing his yardwork today…
Ahh, sweetness of light
At least you’re still in motion … 🙂
Olivia! I haven’t said hi all day! ((((Olivia)))) Hi!
{{{Izzy}}} 🙂
He may rattle a bit, but he’s still rockin!
and my favorite wed nite dj is wrapping up her show.
larger
too much dust in the air here for them thar things to be white…
🙂
Is is some kind of rubber? Working off Izzy’s caulk suggestion …
Is it caulk?
But it does kind of look like uncooked boudin blanc, which I highly doubt they have up in NDD-land. Maybe it’s glue of some sort … or that stuff they advertise on TV for sticking tiles on the wall, damned if I can remember the name of it. That’s successful product positioning, lol!
vut da heckola isss dat?
It’s a disgusting French sausage made from pig intestines. Tripe sausage, if you will. See… I knew it wasn’t that. Hmm… kinda looks like a worm too, but I thought I’d have faith that you wouldn’t post a pic of that sorta thing. Since it’s on what appears to be a blue wall or something, I’m still sticking to my story that it’s some kind of adhesive.
So are you going to give us a hint (or the answer) NDD? I’m fading fast here … zzzzzzz
got away from me one night, landed on a aqua sink, (colour vintage ’79.)
How banal is that? Jeebus, I feel like such a doofus! Now… do we have to guess what brand it is? Colgate would be my guess.
you’d never guess in a trillion years…
what the hell made you want to take a picture of it?
You been too long in the waste(d)land my friend…:{)
here a macro, there a macro, everywhere a macro… ee i ee i oh.
“in the waste(d)land” I’d’ve likely been engaged in other diversions.
on the other hand may…Bot Fly Larve serious UGLY, up close and personal.
Ya got might strange pets down there in Coloradoland.
Ewwww… that be damn fugly!
of South America…Belize, Costa Rica, and sim. environments. They’re a nasty piece of work…Google Bot Fly for details…not for the squeamish, the stuff of nightmares.
Are those the ones that burrow into your skin and emerge and mock you by wiggling their ugly larvae heads at you? I saw something like that on Animal Planet that was just plain disgusting. Though the “willie fish” gave me even bigger heebie jeebs….
Are those the ones that swim uh, up stream — so to speak?
Looks like it’s gross out night in the cafe — see ya! 🙂
in living flesh, and emerge. What’s “willie fish”…never heard of that.
Um… dada, brace yourself… if you’re in the water where they are, they uh… yeah, like O said, “swim upstream” and uh, infiltrate the plumbing system, so to speak. <shuddering as I type that>
So don’t be doing that overboard! PSA … Now I’m really going. Good night… 🙂
I can’t believe Olivia said that! But she hit the nail on the head, so to speak… ok, I’m outta here before this gets me into trouble!
Boogers, boudin blanc, old toothpaste, and now bot flies … I am out of here!
See you young dudes tomorrow! Hope NDD’s feeling better, and dada get’s a reprieve from the 60%cop to get pruning done, and IVG’s day goes smoothly so Friday/day off gets here soon … (And sweet dreams Izzy if you’re lurking still…)
Night!
Googling bot fly
Night olivia… sleep well, thanks for the good wishes!
[ya had to go google that tonight, ha, lol.]
Thank you, my lovely. I hope as well that I can bluff my way through work today enough to flee at 5:00 and begin an early weekend of weeding and planting.
And the bot fly… that was indeed what I saw on Animal Planet, and those things freaked us out. There was this Brit guy who was a host who actually thought it was funny that it would pop up and say “hullo” from time to time. I will never understand those people over there… but then, my Frenchie vein runs very deep in me, so I’m probably a hopeless case on that account.
Good night, and I must vacate the premises as well! Night, O, dada, NDD, Izzy dearest, and any lingering lurkers!
probaby a good time for me to exit also.
Gotta follow suit. G’night, be well.
Peace
Take care, my Nordic friend up north. I hope things are greening up for ya there and that you don’t lose any more toothpaste that you feel compelled to photograph. Lichens are better… I’m just sayin… good night!
I veel not have nightmares…
I veel not have nightmares…
I veel not have nightmares…
I veel not have nightmares…
Just think of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens and all that.
Goodnight everyone! I’m turning in as well.
…..what kind of wierd conversations go in here when there’s no one around keeping an eye on things. Sheesh!
Yeah, like you have never had a weird conversation in the lounge, my dear? LOL… you should hang out with us late night weirdos more often. Nuff said! Have a great slackin day, my friend!
Yeah, but! Maggots?
Can’t slack off totally as have (third callback) job interview and car died.
