Clean tables and clean floors. All the beer you want.
Clean cafe and I’ve got all the beer to myself. Ahhhh. 🙂
Can I at least have a beer?
I figure after enough beer, you’ll be in a good humor. 🙂
… and not in good humour upon awakening. 🙂
This one seemed to have so much integrity and endurance for a fragile blossom up against the heat and smog of the San Fernando Valley.
Hi MM. That’s a beautiful picture.
How’re ya doing tonight?
Okie, dokie, FM. I’m trying to stay pert for the THREE MUSKETEERS: Jon, Stephen, and Keith. Maybe I can manage since my son gave me a special green tea ice cream desert. Have you recovered from the dental visit yet? Dental visits are my most unfavorite next to airplane rides.
Yeah, this one wasn’t that bad at all. Just a filling and no pain afterwards. If they only all could be that way.
I’m so glad it wasn’t any worse than that. Good that you are taking care of your teeth as that is the best way to avert the most punishing dental office experiences…..
I let them go for a while until I could get insurance. I’ve already been through one dentist from hell and I’m just hoping the rest of the stuff they have to do isn’t to bad.
The whole dentistry thing to me is a rip off.
Yes, I agree that it is a ripoff. How unfair that no matter how conscientious we are about our teeth we still have to go to dentists! I am very conscientious, but have had some horrible experiences. Now I stick with the UCLA faculty dental group even though it means having to take a whole day work off to go there.
Actually up until the time I retired I never worried about it. It was always taken care of. After I retired and didn’t have the dental coverage I had before, I couldn’t really afford it.
I hate to say it, but when my teeth were taken care of, I used to think how can people let their teeth get that way. I now see how easy it is if you don’t have insurance or tons of money to pay the dentist.
Just to put it all in perspective I kept excellent dental insurance when I took early retirement at UCLA but rarely use it since I have such a horror of dentists. Yikes!
I understand what you’re saying. I’ve had a lot of dental experiences over the years and I had the whole gamut for dentist. I’ve had really good dentist where you never had any pain and I’ve had really sadistic dentist where they didn’t care how much you hurt.
Thank goodness this latest one is in the good category.
Up until a couple years ago we didn’t have medical or dental insurance and my kids had never been to a dentist. Other little kids get flouride treatments and sealants put on their molars and cavities are getting pretty rare. But now my kids are getting cavities because we couldn’t get those sealants on and for some reason they won’t do them after a certain age.
I never saw a dentist until I was 17, so your kids are still ahead of me. I could have used a good orthodonist, too, but not within the realm of possibility….
I noticed that in the ortho practice that we use now there are a bunch of adults who have braces. Some of them have that Invisalign thing that looks like a clear mouthgard instead of braces. Supposed to be really quick but verrrrry expensive.
You know, I didn’t see my first dentist until about that age. I grew up in the country though and it was all well water. I’ve wondered sometimes if growing up with fluoridated water would have made a big difference.
Speaking of, when are you getting that crown fixed.
I really do need to get that done. I guess I’ll call tomorrow and make an appt. for next week. I’m seeing Andi next month I don’t want her to think I’m a toothless redneck.
Hell No. There’s too many of us here already. 🙂
I had to remind her that I’m from Cleveland because she tought I’d have a southern accent.
a toothless redneck with a southern accent — but a luscious, scrumptious one.
Then you will not be disappointed. If by luscious you mean bitchy and cynical.
This one makes me think of filmy red lingerie … 🙂
A silky red lingerie also has to keep its integrity under extraordinary circumstances……
And I think Izzy’s got it w/ the hibiscus.
I’m not positive, but it sort of looks like an Hibiscus, which is a hot-weather plant.
Whatever it is, it’s gorgeous!
Could be a hisbiscus with those special hot weather talents!

Hang on a sec while I google Sally Rand…. LOL
She was one of my favorite “voices” in Studs Terkel’s Hard Times.
I can see how I am so totally out of the loop now!
the perfect allusion for you — I guess she wasn’t highbrow enough ::pout:: (note to self: next time Isadora Duncan and scarves).
Yes! I’m with you on that one….
This is the third night in a row I’ve thought that it was Friday. I think I might even beat Family Man to bed, too, because I’m tired and headachey.
Try drinking water (but not too much right before you go to bed) and breathing some lavender fumes for that headache.
I love lavender and would walk out back to pick some but it’s dark out and there are slugs bigger than Andi’s snakes out there!
You might capture some doing that stuff Andi linked to … LOL
Best to err on the side of caution with those slugs, but buy some lavendar and keep on hand for the future… easy to make little sacks to keep by your pillow and in your dresser drawers.
Don’t get a headache SN. Well at least do what you have to not to get a bad one.
Tired and headachey? Any bloat by chance with that. Just asking, wanted to know if I should get the helmet. 🙂
I should certainly hope not. SN one of those dirty, filthy, smelly smokers. ::Upchuck sound::
Don’t even think about something like that SN.
Get your helmet – yes to the bloating. Sigh.
It will get better and my helmet can take plenty of knocks on it. 🙂
Come on Olivia, I was kidding with you. Nag away. 🙂
I think you secretly enjoy the 2 on 1 nagging about your smoking.
Who, me? 🙂
it means he can brag that he’s involved in a threesome.
Well I didn’t really want to say that, but yeah. 🙂
because we care … 🙂
Good thing they stop just short of showing what it does to the penis. That would really scare him.
I wasn’t going to mention that part. 😛
Don’t listen to them Family Man. Quiting smoking was the worst decision I ever made. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss it terribly and wonder how my life might be better if I just had a smoke. Don’t give in. Don’t be a quitter.
Yeah, but how’s your sex life? And your breath?
There is more to life than just sex and breathing. Sure I don’t sound like I’m about to die every time I cough, but where’s the adventure in that?
What about beer and Peking duck? Where would we be without that? We’d be no better than sea slugs!
Do sea slugs breathe?
Nope. It appears that “These animals have no gills, so oxygen exchange occurs across the skin surface. An area of high energy need (the digestive system) is therefore exposed closely to the external oxygen-laden seawaters. Also the small size of these structures greatly increases the animal’s surface area (relative to its total volume), maximizing the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed.”
… without sex and breathing we’d be worse than sea slugs … 😉
But we’ll still have duck and beer.
Like I’ve said before, the great thing about a computer is it has an off button. 🙂
Although that just might be what it takes SN … 🙂
Man: “yeah, so what, I know smoking will kill me”
Man again: “what!? my penis will be rendered useless and shrivel up like a slug that someone poured salt on?…Give me those nicotine patches!”
How about this one?
Is reduced volume of ejaculate a bad thing?
I just had to break up a cat fight for real.
One question though. What shrivels on women smokers? 🙂
You know that cartoon lady in Playboy?
No I only read the articles. 😛
we’re talking about you. Who cares what sags in women…
Yeah, as long as we’re lying down it looks okay.
Well I guess old saggy impotent men might. 😛
I’m not going to say it.
Since I have no idea what you were going to say, I won’t dare you. 🙂
speaking from nicotine-experience there FM eh? 😉
Who, me? 😛
So in otherwords, I won’t glow in the dark as much. 🙂
Pumped-up Poison Ivy: Carbon dioxide boosts plant’s size, toxicity
I read about that. My ex grew increasingly sensitized to poison ivy over the years to the point where he gets it all over his body just from being downwind of it and has to go on massive amounts of steroids to get rid of it. I feel bad for him. No, really, I do! Ok, I don’t.
I used to be that way. Either I’ve grown less sensitive (my hope) or better at recognizing it and washing off with alcohol after exposure.
Can you imagine the end of the world surely includes oozing, itching, pus-filled poion ivy sores on everyone baking under the relentless sun and never ending heat.
Oh you’re in a great humor tonight I can see. Don’t even think of going to work tomorrow and stay at home and eat chocolate all day.
You need a break you poor thing. 🙂
At least the born-again Christians won’t have to deal with all that pus and itching – they’ll be floating naked in the air watching all of us scratch and ooze.
Somebody explain to me why I always wait for the last minute to pack.
Hi everyone.
Could it have something to do with slacking?
Hi Mary.
Hi Family Man, how are you feeling? And how was the dentist? (Or do you not want to talk about it?)
Everyting was fine and I’m feeling better. Thanks for asking Mary.
I’m glad 🙂
the mind wonderfully.
and I always work better under pressure
is to pack? I can pack for 5 day trip in 15 minutes.
I suspected as much.
I can too. Especially conference type things.
I had a heck of a time packing for the retreat a few weeks ago because I wasn’t sure what the weather would be, whether we’d be indoors or out and how many changes of clothes I’d need.
This is easy.
So you don’t have to go rummaging in your suitcase for days every time you misplace something?
Hi Izzy!
I did pack early one time and that was a problem. But that time was unique.
Don’t you have a ridiculously early start tomorrow? Have you decided the laptop question?
I hope the packing goes smoothly. Don’t forget sunglasses and your bathing suit!
It’s easy flying west because you gain time; it’s coming back east that’s a bitch.
My flight leaves at 8:00 (ish).
sunglasses!
I don’t wear bathing suits in public anymore except around friends 🙂 Plus I don’t lay out because I’m too fair.
Good night all.
Sleep well, Andi!
One more day ’til the w/e … 🙂
g’night
I think I’ll open up another cafe.
Non-smoking of course. 😛
