I hear ya! I am about to leave the dungeon myself. Haven’t been around too much. Migraine hell for over a month. Went to doc today though and we are going to load me down with new drugs. Here’s hoping they work.
alot of people, I’m glad your doc gave you something to help. Mine was generous last week and I’m feeling much better already. Try not to get stuck in traffic on your commute home 😉
Tucson is prehistoric beach front property. Long before the Colorado Plateau uplift, the Tucson area was under sea water. The limestone quaries in the area show this. Later after the Santa Catilina, Rincon, and Tucson mountains formed, they traped runoff waters in a large salt lake. So as Tucson lifted out of the muck, it has been beach front property at least twice in geological time. Just putting things in their proper perspective.
I am so jealous Leezy…I still have another 37 minutes and counting!
Just wanted to let you know I’ve been thinking of your place lately. I may move into a new apartment this summer and it is possible that I might even get to pick the colors. So, naturally, I keep thinking of your gorgeous color palatte and trying to figure out how I can either steal it outright or devise one that is a bit more red, without being too over the top. :>)
Hey girlfriend!What a nice compliment! Steal away. If you email me I can even give you the paint colors. There are a couple of really nice red combinations. Try to stay away from the fire engine ones though. Then tend to get blinding. Brick red has alot of nice combos. Good to see ya. I think of our visit often.
Great! I’ll email you soon for the colors. I’m thinking warm red hues for the living areas and cooler blue tones for the bedrooms. I would love to live in something that wasn’t white for a change! I also plan on buying all new furniture so I can get a complete new and fresh start.
Great! Talk to ya soon. Just a hint that helps me when picking colors, furniture etc. Start with a focal point. Whether that be a piece of art, a chair, couch whatever. Sometimes one will fins the colors they want on the walls in the oicture, vase or fabric. As you probably guessed, I love decorating. It’s kind of my hobby. Let me know if you want any help. Later!
Not a stress-free diversion. More of a bang-your-head-against-a-wall … no wait, that’s only if you’re a Sens fan. 🙂 We’ll see how it goes. Do you think Edmonton fans will boo the us anthem?
I’ve heard now that in Edm they had a pix of Thornton up during the anthem and that led to some boos – but they were booing the image on the jumbotron you know.
And at the tank they had Pronger’s puss up on the tron during the anthem… fucking idiots!
But still… booing during an anthem really really sucks.
I don’t know… I hope they don’t because I’d like for them to focus on the game again. Been a sucky week for shark fans due to this.
Most of our team are Canadian. I wish I could beat the shit out of the booers.
I have no idea why the anthems are there anyways.. most on teams are from other countries anywyas… I read that since King Goerge has started killing people that pre-anthm booing has gone up. The “Uniter”
Bad news about the house: Escrow in CA might not happen so we will miss close on the OR house and they have a back up buyer.
I’m logging off and going to go sit in the closet. ACK
Calif escrow repair crap has turned into an extortion crisis. Each day they want more and more money. yesterday they wanted 2,400 to replace a sliding glass door that was already taken care of…
Now the escrow – ie the money we needed to pay the promissary note on OR house.. won’t be in our bank Fri. so won’t be able to make the 20th deadline on the lcose of this house.
I thought it was just a matter of an addendum to ask for more time – but they have a back up buyer. ACK
Yummy! I know what is going on my shopping list this weekend. :>)
I’m home and my kid has taken over the tv, so here I am chilling with a Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Pretty refreshing after a long day at the office and some unseasonably warm weather.
I volunteered to stick around since our site is doubling as a polling station today. Gotta make sure no one walks off with any of our stuff. Mike’s eh? I had one bad night with Zima years ago and can’t handle anything that tastes remotely like it (even Alka-Seltzer)
Hey there DJ…I don’t get to the cafe as often as I would like. I need to go make dinner now. I am just feeling a bit giddy knowing there is a solution to my migraine problems, starting with a new preventative you take daily. God, now I know I am getting old talking about meds…lol! You all have a great night and again a big hug to both the birthday folks, CabinGirl and Mythmother. Don’t get too loaded now! Night all.
Thanks for the primo top-notch high qaulity birthday wishes! You have all made my special day burn that much more brighter. I think I feel a nap coming on (kudos FM for your excellent mentoring) but will be back presently.
Sorry FM, but I have to say my new ones are much nicer than that … and even better: I can wear them under a t-shirt w/out the feathers showing through … 🙂
btw, I left a comment for you on your b under the haloscan and trackback installed post. (The one w/ boran2 and yourself.) I thought I’d better tell you considering the comment is about not finding new comments.
Thanks. I was getting antsy — camera withdrawal. I was out in the garden when I got home — still raining, but I don’t care — I took some pix. A ton of stuff is out now: lily of the valley, tulips, columbine, all the rose bushes are leafed, my 2 peony plants are in full leaf and buds have appeared! Good stuff.
How was your day? Still raining? They said on the local news tonight that it will be raining straight through to next tuesday!
What a pretty flower columbine are … I love them. Nice framing (by Jim I’m assuming?) — love the trailing yellow bits! It makes me think of a court jester’s hat!
The current one’s I’ve got are purple and white. I’m going to pop up a couple at the b hopefully for tomorrow morning.
We like colorado columbines, too. They’re such a pretty shade of purple (lavender?).
I was wrong about the sun. Right after I said no sun, the dogs had to go out and howl along with a owl and I saw that there was a sliver of sun coming through the trees. Made a nice webcam pic (posted below).
Can I bring my magazine and lay in your shade?? Ill bring some zen tea for two.
The other day for hte home inspection, it was 96 here in OR (WTF is up with that??) anyways, it was noon and HOT. And the canopy of trees out back kept it cool and comfortable. I’m gonna think of you and your trees every time I wake up 🙂
are the little bits of sunlight filtering through the canopy. (The advantage of scaling down — the shot wasn’t in focus but you can’t tell at the smaller size.)
three apple trees full of blossoms, a couple more are partially blossomed out, a few very old and tall plum trees blossoming. There were so many bees and bugs on the one it sounded like a bee hive. Tried to get a macro of bumblebee, but I moved too fast and she got excited, circled me once… I stood very still, then she moved up higher on the tree. (No pics of anything till later in the week, no USB port here.)
when you’re operating at 28.8K ya gotta hit two birdies mit vun shtone, ya know!
Once I settle in for the night I’ll have to see if I can get on at 31.2K, that’s about max for here.
FM. Thanks for the absolution… no penance? I’ll have to go back over there and see later…
Dang kidney beans are taking forever to cook. The blackeye peas and the pintos, no problem, but the kidneys… hmmfff, maybe I’ll be eating my tortillas at midnight. Got some bison brat chunks in there too, so it should be good… but when?????
Wow Manny!!! There is now oceanfront property in Tucson…teehee! how ya doing my friend?
you’re here! 🙂 The Tucsonian Beach is nuthn’ but a figment of my imagination, but it works when the need to escape my office/prison cell is dire.
I hear ya! I am about to leave the dungeon myself. Haven’t been around too much. Migraine hell for over a month. Went to doc today though and we are going to load me down with new drugs. Here’s hoping they work.
alot of people, I’m glad your doc gave you something to help. Mine was generous last week and I’m feeling much better already. Try not to get stuck in traffic on your commute home 😉
Global warming is far more advanced than any of us had realized!

Beware of brain freeze!
I’ve had brainfreeze since 1969!
Crap Manny…you weren’t even born yet…lol.
I’m serving non-alcoholic smoothies just for you! Enjoy 🙂
What a sweetie! Always thinking of others. Cheers!! Off to the home front. Y’all have a fabulous evening.
I am so jealous Leezy…I still have another 37 minutes and counting!

Hey there Leezy!!!!
thatch compliment, it’s hiding the loincloth pretty well. :-X
Here’s a honey-mango margarita for your enjoyment
OOOOOOOOOoooooooo NICE!!! be careful, I’m a happy drunk! 🙂
I can be a bit of a flirt…
and there’s a good chance that I can get a bit pervy.
Just saying is all. 🙂
Get that woman a couple of gallons of this stuff. 🙂
Tomorrow at 5 pm pst… ACK IN Edmonton. not good.
Why is it that my one good amusement, diversion – is a buttload of stress!!!! LOL Stnaley cup hockey can SUCK on the stress monkey scale.
Not a stress-free diversion. More of a bang-your-head-against-a-wall … no wait, that’s only if you’re a Sens fan. 🙂 We’ll see how it goes. Do you think Edmonton fans will boo the us anthem?

Most of our team are Canadian. I wish I could beat the shit out of the booers.
They were talking about it up here on the hockey talk sports shows, and wondering if we shouldn’t do away w/ pre-game anthems altogether.
I have no idea why the anthems are there anyways.. most on teams are from other countries anywyas… I read that since King Goerge has started killing people that pre-anthm booing has gone up. The “Uniter”
Bad news about the house: Escrow in CA might not happen so we will miss close on the OR house and they have a back up buyer.

It’s not for certain, though right. I hope it all works out DJ! {{{{{{DJ}}}}}}

I’m so sorry Janet. Extortion is exactly what it is.
Jim and I and all the dogs are sending good vibes your way. And we will cross and fingers and spit over our left shoulders to keep the Evil Eye away.
then I never drink when I’m sober. 🙂
Plus I don’t mix my liquors. Bad! My tummy can’t handle it the next day.
plus we wouldn’t want anything to interfere with your royal perviness.
It’s a beautiful talent to be able to make a sailor blush 🙂
I agree on mixing the liquors. Bad, phewey. 😉
have a melon margarita as a chaser
Yummy! I know what is going on my shopping list this weekend. :>)

You are just way too nice!
Zima is crap compared to Mike’s, but I totally understand the aversion after a bad incident. I wouldn’t drink gin again if you paid me! :>)
on whether I’m nice, but I’ve already been deemed Guilty for the ‘sucker’ charge. 🙂
I’m that way with rum, but gin and tonic I can do very easily.
Hey there DJ…I don’t get to the cafe as often as I would like. I need to go make dinner now.

That is fantastic news about prevention!!! (((Leezy)))
I’ll make you some incredible virgin blended drinks 🙂

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{FBL}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
OK, I’m ready for a luau and plenty to drink.
Let me get this coconut bra off and I’ll have a double.
At least your coconut bra doesn’t have under/outerwire problems! LOL
I just read you’re b post FM! {{{{FM}}}}
That’s the beauty of the coconut bra. Plus they lift and seperate and serve as drinking bowls. Talk about milti-tasking.
… at least not anymore. 🙂
Poor thing. I still think you should go to my bra maker.
Sorry FM, but I have to say my new ones are much nicer than that … and even better: I can wear them under a t-shirt w/out the feathers showing through … 🙂
No sense of style huh. 🙂
Ah yes, but with the bra on the outside, you don’t have to worry about, lets say, wire problems. 😛
Unfortunately I won’t be able to try the bra-on-the-outside style as I’ve disposed of said bra already. 🙂
So much for pictures. 🙂
btw, I left a comment for you on your b under the haloscan and trackback installed post. (The one w/ boran2 and yourself.) I thought I’d better tell you considering the comment is about not finding new comments.
I just read. Thanks Olivia.
the mind boggles.
clik image for enhanced viewing
Now the naked truth come out. 🙂
I wonder how Olivia handles the camera at the same time?
Hiya d … did you see my sorta apology comment last night?
but was appreciated…back atcha. :{)
Sittin’ here waiting on a dic*khead who was supposed to show btwn 6 -6:30 to pick up some old drawings…be glad when he’s finally history.
Uh oh, here he comes…later.
Nice new picture at your blog. Glad you decided not to let your shutter finger atrophy.
Thanks. I was getting antsy — camera withdrawal. I was out in the garden when I got home — still raining, but I don’t care — I took some pix. A ton of stuff is out now: lily of the valley, tulips, columbine, all the rose bushes are leafed, my 2 peony plants are in full leaf and buds have appeared! Good stuff.
How was your day? Still raining? They said on the local news tonight that it will be raining straight through to next tuesday!
It didn’t rain today but it was overcast almost all day. Tomorrow though the forecast says partly cloudy so I have hopes.
Yellow columbine? We saw lots of those in Banff. How about a crimson columbine (from northern california).
… sun, sun please come out soon! We miss you!
What a pretty flower columbine are … I love them. Nice framing (by Jim I’m assuming?) — love the trailing yellow bits! It makes me think of a court jester’s hat!
The current one’s I’ve got are purple and white. I’m going to pop up a couple at the b hopefully for tomorrow morning.

I was wrong about the sun. Right after I said no sun, the dogs had to go out and howl along with a owl and I saw that there was a sliver of sun coming through the trees. Made a nice webcam pic (posted below).
you left the bra on.
Well I’ve got to have something to drink out of.
I’ll just hike up the grass skirt real high. Now think Andi, do you really want me to keep the bra on? 😛
Need my ‘brain’ for a while yet…should be done for the day, but you know how that goes.
Hope you make it out of your cubicell intact Manny.
Later
Peace
and raise you a kauai
hey bro….we’ve missed again…dayum..well one day, we’ll be here at the same time..
then we’ll give’m hell ; )
later bro…peace
keep trying. Ya still got my e-addy? Give me a ‘heads up’.
Peace Bro
Yeah! My big boss just left and my little boss told me to go home. I’m Outta Here!! :>)
Okay, it’s not a lot of sun but …
Can I bring my magazine and lay in your shade?? Ill bring some zen tea for two.
The other day for hte home inspection, it was 96 here in OR (WTF is up with that??) anyways, it was noon and HOT. And the canopy of trees out back kept it cool and comfortable. I’m gonna think of you and your trees every time I wake up 🙂
Come on right over. But leave that hot weather behind. It’s unseasonably cool here (50s-60s) but I’d rather have that any day than hot weather.
What a marvellous shot!
are the little bits of sunlight filtering through the canopy. (The advantage of scaling down — the shot wasn’t in focus but you can’t tell at the smaller size.)
… but really shitty sun-wise. What a measly little tease!
Andi is that from a real web cam or are you just joshing.
I’ll answer for the spousal unit.
It depends on what “is” is.
Is a webcam someone walking out onto the yard/septic field and taking a picture with a not video camera?
42!
three apple trees full of blossoms, a couple more are partially blossomed out, a few very old and tall plum trees blossoming. There were so many bees and bugs on the one it sounded like a bee hive. Tried to get a macro of bumblebee, but I moved too fast and she got excited, circled me once… I stood very still, then she moved up higher on the tree. (No pics of anything till later in the week, no USB port here.)
Went to FM-Slackerism website for “confessional.”
Don’t know results yet.
was just over at FM Slacker confessional. Sounds like you had a crazy busy day w/ that porch. Are you better connected tonight?
when you’re operating at 28.8K ya gotta hit two birdies mit vun shtone, ya know!
Once I settle in for the night I’ll have to see if I can get on at 31.2K, that’s about max for here.
FM. Thanks for the absolution… no penance? I’ll have to go back over there and see later…
Dang kidney beans are taking forever to cook. The blackeye peas and the pintos, no problem, but the kidneys… hmmfff, maybe I’ll be eating my tortillas at midnight. Got some bison brat chunks in there too, so it should be good… but when?????
I’ve never had bison or moose. I’ve heard they aren’t that bad. Hope you can eat soon.
You’ve been absolved. 🙂
Still coping with the crises du jour around here — tomorrow is serious concentrating on cleaning, laundry etc.
Not much else to say…still pretty bummed out at the spouse…but we’ll muddle through this somehow…
Hi Cali. Hope things smooth out for you.
Hey Cali. Sorry you are having a bummer day, but I’m sure things will brighten up for you.
Hugs.
Night everyone. Past my bedtime and I’m feeling very sleep deficient.
Everyone have a good night in the pond.
Come on over and join the party. Voter identification is not needed.
