30-something Xicano Democrat in Tucson, Arizona. I have a passion for social justice issues as well as seeking to help ignite a productive dialog regarding immigration reform. Lately I spend most of my time on Tw
combine Southern Comfort and Blue Curacao in a high ballglass over ice. Add enough orange juice to fill the glass. The orange juice and blue Curcao will combine to form a lovely green shade!
I’ve recovered. And you should see what’s happened at Eat4Today. I know, it’s not much compared to the BooTrib, but almost twice as many people came to Eat4Today than have ever come in one day.
I think it started when I posted a comment to a dKos open thread with the subject line “Crushing Republicans through Diet and Exercise”
It didn’t get replies or ratings, but by the time I got to work, there were 23 visits. It was the only open thread for most of the day, so that probably made a difference.
Then there was a lively Democrats in Kansas thread. Which gave things a boost in the afternoon.
But, it’s been pretty steady all day. I don’t know what’s driven it.
O, I changed my sig at dKos to Defeating Republicans through diet and Exercise. So all my comments sort of have that phrase. Do you think that’s it?
I had to check out the stats. I think that was the day skippy the bush kangaroo and cursor.org linked to my national guard write-up. In other news, I think I just hit 15,000 over there.
minimal brain function will keep feet moving, although not necessarily in an overly coordinated fashion, but then again that’s true when I’m wide awake as well.
Well, I’m the only one of you who has actually met maryb (or a woman claiming to be mb), and I can testify that is exactly what she wears home from work.
WOW!!! Wesley could escape from the playpen at a young age – it ended up being a HUGE clean laundry bucket. I’d dump all the laundry there that I thought I’d get around to folding…. the pile was huge! Never got around to it. 🙂
Glad yoy lowered the crib. So many don’t- it’s safer actually than them falling out of it. Can always buy those magnetic inner/outer door alarms for when he scampers out at night.
I almost didn’t go back into my office at lunchtime because I wanted to catch the entire segment with Rosie and Jimmy. While they were discussing the Puerto Rican experience, I could definitely relate to the language portion as a Mexican American.
Hi I am a newbie, stopping in here to say hi, referred by Booman, who must be the head honcho around here, I gather, lol…so I’ll have a turn at that hooka, k, and a room temp. glass of white zin, plus a giant platter of teka make(sushi), and of course some miso soup to make my tummy feel all warm and fuzzy.
Ooooh that hooka turn was mighty nice, thanks.
Especially {{Manny!!}}
you must’ve been tapping on the window to get in, how was your day?
I found the other cafe and thought, “Whoo, that one’s closing soon, don’t waste your typing fingers!”
And sat here for about a minute tapping my toes and refreshing the screen.
And you didn’t let me down.
Hugs? Sheesh. I ordered my bartender’s choice hours ago. The service here has really gone downhill.
Have some Irish Comfort
You’d prefer I be nice to you?
I suspect it’s more exhausting for you to be nice than it is for me to deal with you being nice 😛
I resemble that
A nice Mary? Now that’s a concept. 🙂
I’m all out of Drambuie.
a vodka gimlet? It’s the least I can do for someone who will snort at one of my butchered sentences.
you DO come through now and then 🙂
in order to drink anything!
definitely butter <evil grin>
Howdy, howdy. Have you recovered from your chaotic weekend?
I’ve recovered. And you should see what’s happened at Eat4Today. I know, it’s not much compared to the BooTrib, but almost twice as many people came to Eat4Today than have ever come in one day.
Why is that, Kb? Just the cumulative effect of your general excellence, or something that happened today?

I don’t know, but I love it.
I couldn’t help but notice that it’s nothing like May 18th at Manny’s place. I wonder what was going on that day?
I had to check out the stats. I think that was the day skippy the bush kangaroo and cursor.org linked to my national guard write-up. In other news, I think I just hit 15,000 over there.
Cool!
Wow! That’s great. Did you get a lot of comments that day too?
usual, although it did bring shycat over for a peek. It’s always good to run into her.
Hi, ManE, Kb, Mb,Af, and anybody who sneaks in when I’m not looking. I’m leaving for what I hope will be a very long walk. Y’all come with!
author-code for “Take a hike!” or are you really going for an evening stroll? (hi kansas!!!)
Ha! I really am. (Hi, ManE!!! I think I scared people away from commenting on your blog with my over-long comment! Sorry!)
isn’t going with us……….do you have a wagon?
Do I have a wagon!? Honey, I got a CARRIAGE for that pipe, and it’s pulled by ten handsome men.
but I do like morning walks the best.
gotta be……I know Familyman would agree. It’s best to just sit in the wagon with the pipe.
I’ll gladly stay in the wagon with the pipe if snakes are there.
Thank you for thinking of me Tracy. 🙂
I guess we could try to convince the dogs to pull the wagon.
What about you slackers? I’m personally quite frightened of snakes!
Well then your strategy of having lots of dogs around is a great idea — snakes do not like being where the dogs are.
But don’t you have to be actually, like, awake for those?
minimal brain function will keep feet moving, although not necessarily in an overly coordinated fashion, but then again that’s true when I’m wide awake as well.
OK!
You’re so easy!

We passed this place on our way up to the party at the top of the Stratosphere:
I think they had qute a selection for you…
It was closed or we would have had one sent to you.
Really.
I take back the comment below. Were you going to use the same shipping company as CabinGirl’s Christmas chihuly glass?
maryb is such a kind and generous person…
her voice dripping with sarcasm …
You mean you’re not sending me a Christmas present? 🙂
it’s many months until christmas and we’ll just have to see if you stay on the good list or go on the naughty one.
on the naughty one?
I’ve been told there’s overlap between those lists…
too long 🙂
cool! and I’m glad you finally decided to post a pic of maryb [dons the helmet and runs for his life]
She asked not to be identified…how could you “out” her ManEe?
No Pipe for you tonight!
Who does the dishes?
that I actually own dishes. 🙂 Bud doesn’t need to smoke to mellow out and take a nap, he does that quite naturally.
I just got a contact bud! 😉
I don’t wear red. I’m a blue gal.
Well, I’m the only one of you who has actually met maryb (or a woman claiming to be mb), and I can testify that is exactly what she wears home from work.
psst…you’re not the only one any more. And she does look lovely in aqua.
Oh, shoot, that’s right, I’m not the only one now. We should compare notes to be sure we met the same person.
I’d post a picture, but she wouldn’t let me take any.
You BOTH need to come to the Midwest meetup in October and find out if I’m the same person. It will be a relief to know that I really exist.
“professional dancer”.
to have a picture before we meet up in Effingham — it would be so embarrassing to greet the wrong the mannequin.
the outfit is a little much for Effingham? It IS central Illinois. They are fairly conservative.
in Cairo instead.
for both of us and, trust me on this, not nearly as exotic as it sounds.
I wouldn’t have to buy a new outfit 🙂
Hey folks. How is everyone?
Are you and Andrew enjoying quality vacation time?
We have had a great vacation so far. Nice and relaxing.
Hola Tony and Tot!!!
{{{Janet}}}
How is your little guy?
He ain’t so little. The dude is growing like a weed. He’s in a size 13 shoe now! OMG!
We’re in our new home and doing well – just been superduper busy.
How is your little one?
He tried to climb out of the crib yesterday, so we lowered it as low as it gets. He has changed so much in the past 10 months, it is just amazing.
WOW!!! Wesley could escape from the playpen at a young age – it ended up being a HUGE clean laundry bucket. I’d dump all the laundry there that I thought I’d get around to folding…. the pile was huge! Never got around to it. 🙂

Our playpen holds stuffed animals and Andrew in a pinch.
Evening Toni.
Hey there Andi. How are you doing?
I’m still at the stage of Jim’s vacation where I’m trying to be quiet in the mornings and not wake him up. But I should be getting over than shortly.
That’s sweet.
if you knew what I was thinking while I was doing it.
I hope whatever it is, is fun.
How long does that usually last – a month?
That’s the max — it’s a lot of hard work to maintain that level of consideration in the face of rampant resentment.
Hi Toni. How’s the vacation going?
Day 4 was great. How are you, FM?
Glad to hear it’s going great Toni.
I’m doing fine, just trying to stay awake at the moment.
I’m seeing Pink Elephants!!
Respectfully Snatched from: Bood Abides site
That is so disturbing.
eeewww…
I know.. it is heinous. I thought about sharing it with my CP sisters… then thought better of it. LOL
Okay, I’m gone. You guys can’t hold me here with mere merriment and wit. Or liquor. These flip-flips were made for walkin’!
I must go get a life and a shower. CIAO
Erm, I was about to call you…
I can wait to freshen
aside from IVG, I think the rest of the recommenders of the last cafe are EuroTribbers long asleep.
Hey now, I’ve been doing pretty good about rec’ing and unrec’ing lately. (I’m afraid of the wrather of Mary 🙂 )
Only time I don’t is if I have to run off for school or something. Or… I forget around dinnertine/homework
thank you for the rec earlier on my PR PRide diary — have a good evening DJ
I almost didn’t go back into my office at lunchtime because I wanted to catch the entire segment with Rosie and Jimmy. While they were discussing the Puerto Rican experience, I could definitely relate to the language portion as a Mexican American.
I’m typing with my head on a swivel. Freakin’ kids are getting HYPER – end of week school treats I guess

Ooooh that hooka turn was mighty nice, thanks.
Don’t forget that tomorrow is the Froggy Bottom 1 year Anniversary!
Hey there (((((Diane!!!!)))) I’m going to be camping with SallyCat next weekend down near Eugene, OR. I’ll give her some huggles for ya.
Shoot, I gotta skidaddle – time for a roller hockey game.
I almost welcomed you!
get a nap around here? Here’s a fresh cafe for you party animals. Don’t forget to unrecommend this diary, or Man Eegee won’t share the tips with me.
