Hey DJ, great pic there! But you know which one we all consider the most babe-o-licious, don’t you? <sigh> I suppose I should get myself back outside and begin the evening ritual… maybe I should do that rain dance!
Howdy FM, Olivia, DJ!! I’d settle for a rain shower right now … hot n dry here again today. Only ventured out to hang up laundry, but it’s cooling down a bit now, so will head to water (again!) in a bit.
Saturday afternoon as I got in my car to head over to the maxtrain… it started to monsoon rain. OHOH!!! And we were going to be protesting out on a bridge…
As soon as I got on the train – it cleared up and voila… blue skies.
Got up a bit late, but otherwise been ok and surprisingly not so stiff as last time I did such a marathon weeding. Think I can venture out pretty soon and bring the laundry in and get the watering going, now that it’s finally clouded over a bit and cooled down.
How was your day up there today? Please don’t say rainy…
Calling for rain tomorrow though. I hope you get it too!
I was up a bit late last night (LOL) so I slept in ’til around noonish … hung around peat bog for the afternoon, had some chocolate and did nothing in the garden! I’m revolting –on strike– against the rosebushes. 🙂
Better rose bushes than weeds, at least. Well, I need to scoot on out and bring the laundry in, etc. See if I can get any good pics while there’s still hazy light out. See you folks later… (you’ll have to tell me about the peat bog sometime, that sounds interesting!)
Is anyone allowed in? I was afraid to butt into the lovely thing Olivia and Family Man had going on in the last cafe. She had him all to herself – and TWICE in so short a time! Hee hee. 🙂
I’m mostly just super tired. There’s other stuff but it’s more miserable than anything else. It means I can’t think as well and have a harder time following conversations & making sentences. I can’t really do anything, just kinda lay around in the chair and read blogs or in bed watching TV. It’s a bleak fuckin’ lifestyle but no cause for alarm. 🙂
Hopefully, next month I will see a new endo and get an improved treatment plan, seeing as my current one lacks that essential component of being effective.
That is an essestial component. But, girl, if your thinking is befuddled and you can still write like that I’d be really interested to see what a totally on-target Indy could do.
curly, I and the asklets had the pleasure of meeting CabinGirl, MilitaryTracy w/son and Booman. We spent a lazy afternoon in a park on the Hudson River. We saw Pete Seeger and friends, Bulgarian folksingers, etc.
Later went for dinner in nearby Croton.
What a great day in great company. MT’s son is fun company an a bundle of energy (MT; don’t know if I have your permission to post his name/pic).
Hi olivia,
We sure did. As I said to FM right above; maybe we should try again for next year – make it a weekend. You could come down from Canada. If we mark it up in the calendar early enough, maybe many can make it.
Got some work done this morning. Just relaxing tonight.
Off to the airport at 8 am – arrive Nairobi Tuesday at 2.15 pm locally, which is 6.15 am Tuesday here.
Just for the fun of it, decided to look back on the last page of my photo bucket album. Those were the good old days when I lived in a beautiful place and had a miserable job that was driving me crazy!
LOL.
Thanks, SN, for your long message, I read every word with fascination. Amazing the journey we go learning to trust our own intuition and the will to be healthy! For me the main thread is the fact that our air is no longer safe to breathe and those with more sensitive respiratory equipment are the canaries in the mine shaft with a little bad new for the rest of lung-bearing population.
But extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary efforts! I had a reasonably good sleep last night with a little help from NyQuil, but then have had three really bad attacks of coughing and choking, so I guess I’m not quite out of the woods yet.
ACK there’s that term “real life”… my husband used that on me yesterday morning… regarding protesting and grocery shopping. I swore up and down that I’d leave his ass if he ever doubted again what “reality” I was having to live in again.
Hmmm let’s see spousey wousey: go and and get groceries so you can watch a hockey game… “real life” ACK
OR go and support a officer…. get your ass arrested on a bridge showing support in ending this war… and standing with hot, dripping wax on your hands with Veterans for Peace??
It’s Happy Hour and drinks are on the house today.
Better get them while they’re here.
Milkshake! Can I at least add some Baileys in it?
So do you think just the two of us can fill up this cafe?
We won’t say much with one word replies though. 🙂
:*
Oh, does that look heavenly. Mmmm.
Hi Indy. I think I’ll give up beer for one of those.
Not only delurking, but bringing me chocolate milkshakes!
Love ya! 🙂
Go read her b. There’s your shivers right there.
where’s the straws??? or do you have other methods in mind in emptying these two glasses out?
((((IndyLib)))))
Hehe. Let the record show I’m not the one who started making dirty allusions about the wet chocolate. {{{{DJ}}}}
changes and tends to skip.

Hey DJ, great pic there! But you know which one we all consider the most babe-o-licious, don’t you? <sigh> I suppose I should get myself back outside and begin the evening ritual… maybe I should do that rain dance!
See you folks later, I hope!
See ya later IVG. Just look for the police before you do the rain dance.
some corn, some beans, and I forget what else. Next weekend they’ll plant tomatoes and one day I’ll get to my herbs and peppers.
I think I’ll start with beer, then go to DJ’s jello shooters and finish with some everclear.
I hope that’s not ambitious.
You shouldn’t mix your liquors my friend. It’s a big no no.
I’d like a nice big … Shower! 🙂
You’re right DJ, I learned that lesson long ago.
Shower? From where I’m sitting you smell as sweet as a rose. 🙂
Howdy FM, Olivia, DJ!! I’d settle for a rain shower right now … hot n dry here again today. Only ventured out to hang up laundry, but it’s cooling down a bit now, so will head to water (again!) in a bit.
I’ve heard that if you take off all of your clothes and dance around in the yard with the dogs, rain will soon follow.
Doesn’t work. 🙁
In your case it would be someone spraying you with the hose to get you to put your clothes back on.
How did you know?
I know things. 🙂
for being an eyesore in the neighborhood!
I would say you could tell em you came out to fly a flag, but I won’t, no I won’t. 🙂
Nope, FM, don’t go there, please.
As if I would IVG. Plus I said I wouldn’t. 🙂
I think it’s considered an insult to fly the Merkin flag so low…..oh, nevermind.
It wasn’t me IVG, it wasn’t me. 🙂
Saturday afternoon as I got in my car to head over to the maxtrain… it started to monsoon rain. OHOH!!! And we were going to be protesting out on a bridge…
As soon as I got on the train – it cleared up and voila… blue skies.
shall I repost the pix?? 😀
Good to see you made it out of bed today lol!

Who says when you get old……
Sorry FM – I couldn’t let that one go. It was like a gift, it was.
I know. 🙂
You’re even funnier than usual today. Been sucking on whipped cream cans or something?
It’s the drugs. How are you feeling? Been worried about you.

I’ve seen your rec’s, thank you darling! I’m sorry you’re having such a crappy time lately. Anying I can do?
No thanks. I just need to rest, which I’m doing. 🙂
I need that, too. Can I come over?? I’ll bring some incredible DVDs. Some books (two of which are autographed) and some rum.
XOXOXOXOX
Sure, just don’t mind the
scattered few unpacked boxes here or there…
I’ll feel right at home then 🙂
That is an essestial component. But, girl, if your thinking is befuddled and you can still write like that I’d be really interested to see what a totally on-target Indy could do.
I used to be dangerous.
There’s no used to be at all Indy.
…you would be one healthy Indy! We’d have you running marathons you’d be so fit and feeling good! 🙂
Thanks {{{Miss Olivia}}}
Ah, I remember the days. Somewhere waaaaay back in the dark corners of my troubled mind.
Olivia you should have told her that. Should have left her wondering. 🙂
…but you’re just too good to keep it a secret! 🙂 nt
Me. It’s Olivia that got everybody to stop lurking.
I, for one, was worried about your heart, FM. Twice in so short a time is just wrong for someone who had bypass surgery.
Can you really think of a better way to go. 😛
Yes. Me in a threesome with Ben and Jerry.
Would that be death by chocolate?
I was thinking Death by Chunky Monkey.
Sounds kinky to me. 🙂
Couldn’t even tell he was a smoker … 😉
I am soooo jealous. And impressed!
Well of course I don’t smoke around my non-smoking friends. Even sprayed myself down with Fabreeze. 🙂
Febreeze is almost as bad as cigarette smoke. Gag.
OK I doused myself pinesol.
I’m nothing if not cosmopolitan.
Some familiar faces at the Clearwater Festival yesterday.
curly, I and the asklets had the pleasure of meeting CabinGirl, MilitaryTracy w/son and Booman. We spent a lazy afternoon in a park on the Hudson River. We saw Pete Seeger and friends, Bulgarian folksingers, etc.
Later went for dinner in nearby Croton.
What a great day in great company. MT’s son is fun company an a bundle of energy (MT; don’t know if I have your permission to post his name/pic).
Hey I know those radical peeps!!!
What a treat it would have been if you had made it cross country again!
I’ll make it cross country again. Probably the end of September for protests and Declaration of Peace in DC.
Everyone looks great! Glad you all got together. 🙂
Big fun it was, too bad we had to break it up around 8.30 – the others had a long drive back to Philly.
Here’s curly:
Liberals are so damn cute and smiley!
Lovely!!!!
Damn I’m so jealous. Glad ya’ll had a great time Ask.
Well, Tracy drove all the way up from Alabama to CG, and then to Croton yesterday. Will we see you next year?
Hi Ask. Just got back. I can only hope.
Good to hear that you all met up and had a wonderful time!
Hi olivia,
We sure did. As I said to FM right above; maybe we should try again for next year – make it a weekend. You could come down from Canada. If we mark it up in the calendar early enough, maybe many can make it.
WE’re trying for a Chicago meetup on Oct. 7th!
And Happy Father’s Day! 🙂
Thanks olivia.
The asklets and I went with curly to her brother with family and had a great time today, as well.
I get the impression that you are TALL??? Are you?
take care!
Ms. Nancy Drew.
Based on the perspective of the image of MT, CG and Booman?
In the Conservatory Gardens a couple of months ago.
🙂 Ms. Nancy Drew 🙂
You must be busy tonight then, getting ready for you trip.
Got some work done this morning. Just relaxing tonight.
Off to the airport at 8 am – arrive Nairobi Tuesday at 2.15 pm locally, which is 6.15 am Tuesday here.
Family Mom and everything in the house has the blogdar out and they are hungry. Gotta fix dinner real fast.
Be back in a second.
Just for the fun of it, decided to look back on the last page of my photo bucket album. Those were the good old days when I lived in a beautiful place and had a miserable job that was driving me crazy!

Thanks again, SN, for the great suggestions!
But that was certainly not an ideal environment jobwise. Good to hear that you got some sleep last night!
no wonder there seems to be so much hooking up going on.
Were you out having a RL again? I thought I asked you not to do that.
ACK there’s that term “real life”… my husband used that on me yesterday morning… regarding protesting and grocery shopping. I swore up and down that I’d leave his ass if he ever doubted again what “reality” I was having to live in again.
Hmmm let’s see spousey wousey: go and and get groceries so you can watch a hockey game… “real life” ACK
OR go and support a officer…. get your ass arrested on a bridge showing support in ending this war… and standing with hot, dripping wax on your hands with Veterans for Peace??
He decided to come with me for an event. 😉
he came with me to make a quick dash to the grocery store to pick up a few things before we left for said event.
He said I had a talent for waking his ass up. Even though he’s the first one out of bed in the morning.
is pretty virtual — errands, grocery, book reading, dinner, some more book reading.
Save me a spot here as I have to run to get some dinner and such.
(((Andi))))
by the time you finish dinner, this place will have been completely trashed and a new, beautiful cafe will await you.
without me — ya’ll even kept the conversation pretty much at gutter level, which did my heart proud.
Did you and J have a good day?
Ya’ll? Andi, say it isn’t so!
has turned her into an Alabaman. Alabamian. Whatever.
oy gevalt
THat was my first thought but I didn’t know how to spell it.
Should I open a new lounge, or are we all going to do it simultaneously?
I’ll get it.
BTW, are you working tomorrow?
If by working you mean sitting here shmoozing in the cafe – yes I’m WORKING.
Open containers allowed so get your butts over here.
