May the 4’s be with you
OK where is everybody. I don’t clean up cafes for nothing.
if all that cold weather had frozen you to your couch.
Nah I’m to smart to sit out on the couch by the highway during winter. That couch is only for city rubes who want to see the real south. 🙂
I thought you’d be sittin on the spare sofa out by the cement pond.
I thought we were supposed to wait 1/2 hour increments to respond 🙂
An impossibility IMHO. 🙂
when we realized that some of us are approaching the twilight of our years and can’t afford to waste that much time.
Did you get a walk in with the dogs?
to skip the walk unless the circumstances are really dire. They even made me go when I had a broken leg.
We need a pot-belly stove in the lounge. Oh, and some comfy chairs clustered around it.
Well I’ve got the stove and the pot-belly. You bring the chairs.
I’ve got a back up pot belly, but I need to go find some chairs.
I guess we really don’t need 3 pot-bellies but let me know if the other two peter out and I’ll bring mine in.
hmmm — peter out, chicken peckers. Exactly what went on while you were in Cleveland?
Chicken peckers was Toni. 😉
I’m still recovering from Cleveland – no naps and people made fun of my Elmer Fudd coat.
You mean no one made fun of you saying ya’ll?
Bite your tongue, Family Man. On second thought, come here, I’ll bite it for you.
Up there it would be froozen and you’d bite it off. Or like in that movie, you’d make me stick it to a flag pole and I could unfreeze it.
I almost went to see that house while I was up there. Some guy bought it and made the interior look just like in the movie. The outside shots were filmed in Cleveland, but the interior was a soundstage. He also sells the leg lamp and has sold thousands of them.
oh that’s right — you were ‘blowing chickens’.
There’s not much else to do in Cleveland.
and it’s very hard to find a chicken. Most of them are frozen to the pavement.
I think RF was blowing chickens, which is something that Rick Santorum warned us about.
First it’s marrying another dude and then, inevitably, it’s blowing chickens.
It’s slippery slope on the road to Hell.
I always thought it was a slide. Some twist and turns, but smooth and fast to the bottom. Of course since the world is flat, once you get to the end is when you find the slides. 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!!!! I relieve stress by blowing up chickens with a compuetr game I have.
if you get rired of chickens…there’s always cows
This one’s available.
This one’s mine.
Reserved for Omir.
The rocker is for FM, unless FMom shows up, then it’s her’s.
Extra club chairs are in the storage room.
I’ll fight you for the comfy one. The others look too hard.
There’s a few more in the back, but we’re going to have to raise the dues if we need too many more chairs.
We have dues?
Yes. Oddly, tonight’s dues is a Nintendo Wii.
Good luck. I read that they are out of them in Japan as well.
Without dues, how do keep out the riff-raff? (I mean once we’re all in.)
We’ll need to find a comfy coushion for the rocker.
Are you gonna tell me you don’t have a sofaful of comfy cushions?
Maybe they call them davenports down there.
Oddly, they call them that in Canada, I believe. It must the close ties to English culture in CA and the old South.
My grandmother called them davenports and she was from the south. Of Austria.
Maybe she learned “English” English. Also “davenports” was once the classy expression, while sofas was de classe. Your Granny must ‘a bin a classy Frau.
SN, a mix-up. I’m going to get you a comfy chair from the back, I better get a davenport of the others. The comment about pillows was meant for FM & his rocker.
I’m tired of moving furniture, so everybody’s got to squeeze tight.
One comfy chair for SN and a rocker to fight over. (No stretching out on the
sofasdavenports.can I just sit on teh floor and lean back against a sofa?
That’ll work.
Now Teach you forget who you’re addressing here. I’ve worked many years (OK not worked) to get to the point I am now. I expect to spend my days slackatudinally. A simple chair or couch will not accomplish that. I have to be able to partake of the going ons, but at the same time looks with disdane at people exerting themselves.
It’s a fine line between slackatudinal and moving. So I need the furniture to represents that. 🙂
I’ll see what I can find.
Try this on for size.
I can probably find one with a cooler built into the arm, but I’d have to turn off the Tacky filter I have on my browser.
Furniture that moves & slacks.
I can live with that. 😉
Yeah but those are sofa comfy cushions. You’ve got to have special comfy cushions for a rocker. Down here we do have certain ways of propriety. 😉
That was one of those comments you mutter as you wander in, shaking the snow of your shoulders and kicking you boots against the doorjamb.
Then you remember to greet everyone.
How is everyone?
You sound cold today. What’s the temperature in balmy Michigan?
22 but on its way to 16. Yummy.
brrrrrr.
Sounds like a hot drink night.
I’ve been drinking hot cider in the evenings when it’s way down in the….40s. Brrrrr.
I’m one my second cup of tea.
I’m usually one with my first cup of coffee in the morning. The rest are just so-so.
I finally noticed my typo and got your joke. For a long time I was clueless regarding your comment. TSTLOL (Too Stupid To Laugh Out Loud)
Our low is going to be 11 — kind of unusual to be colder here.
It’s actually already 16 here and supposed to go into single digits. It would be nice if Ameren could get everyone’s electricity back on so people can be warm.
We were without heat and elec for eight days after an ice storm a couple of years ago. The temps were in the 30s and 40s and it was freezing in the house. I can’t imagine when it’s in the single digits how people survive.
They go to warming centers or relatives houses. If they have enough money they buy generators.
The national guard was out in force over the weekend knocking on doors.
How many people die of carbon monoxide poisoning from bringing the grill into the house – or burn the house down using kerosene heaters? That’s usually one of the sadder aspects of power outages in the winter.
So far there haven’t been any fires. But tonight will be the coldest it’s gotten.
we seem to have the temp pattern backwards. Not having to worry about the power going out is one the many nice things about heating with wood.
Almost going home time for me. A beautiful clear day not too cold, got a number of chores done without having to wear many many layers.
Hi, Soup.
Hey folks…hope everyone is well! 🙂
Are you alive? And rested?
I’m alive…feel good about the exams I’ve taken to date. As for rested…that’s questionable. I got a combined 9 1/2 hours last night (took a 3 1/2 hour nap and slept 6 hours), and I took another 90-minute nap earlier today. I probably won’t be fully rested until after the weekend…have to head down to Florida, which will require a bit of time.
How many exams do you have to go?
Why are you going to Florida?
Or ss the semester over and this is the start of winter break?
Mary, my Palm is upstairs. Is this the night we pick on Psi?
He seems a little tired still. It’s more fun to beat him up when he’s at full strength.
And I have to go to a fundraiser tonight so I can’t devote the time to it that I’d like. It might have to wait for next week.
LOL, maryb! I so love you.
and I love YOU 🙂
Let’s get a room. Oh yeah, you don’t like to share. 😉
And I feel so left out. 🙁
You can watch.
Now that’s just plain mean. 😉
for your slacker cred.
Sounds good. I’m not at full strength either.
Evening, Psi.
I had the pleasure of watching C-SPAN2 earlier today, only to see Bill Frist deliver his farewell remarks. Although everyone present applauded and waxed poetic about Bill Frist’s “leadership,” Ted Stevens interrupted the ceremony, invoked legislation, called for unanimous consent and left the floor. And he did not apologize. I guess Ted Stevens feels Frist has not completed the work of the Senate.
Poor Bill Frist. Now he’ll have to move back to Tennessee and live in his white house clone and resume practicing medicine via a video hookup.
I just find Ted Steven’s ego astounding. He is indecorous and crass, but at least he is honest. Instead of wasting time lying to Bill Frist, Ted Stevens wanted legislation on Alaskan fisheries passed. I despise Stevens, but he does have a point.
It could be worst, he may have wanted another bridge to no where. Why does anyone want to listen to an idiot…when he is only good for “something” for a few more days.
OK, gotta go check out the man who wants to be the next governor of Missouri. See ya’ll later.
The guy she’s talking about doesn’t deliver groceries to the basement does he?
NO..its the guy who delivers groceries to you “still” and brings you a few empty jugs.
What happen to this place…some eat an onion from Taco Bell?
I think some of us went to make and eat diner — at least, this some of us did.

The Congress is once again temporizing, reaffirming the notion that they are incapable of doing anything. An offshore oil and gas revenue bill is to be considered, but the House is yet to resume today’s session. And Mike DeWine has been speaking impassionately about dead soilders from his state. Why feign a commitment to the troops when you will do so in such a perfunctory manner, Mike? Do they plan on passing the oil and gas revenue bill, or will they waste more time today? I have no patience for these antics.
Good evening all. Naturally, I’m on the sofa watching Survivor.
Hey, B, c’mon over to the 24/7 Lounge. It’s way to quiet over there.
and boy, are my arms tired… (rimshot)
Greetings to all…still recovering from the Grand Vegas Adventure; got a hockey game to monitor tonight so will probably wait till tomorrow for postings. Legs are sore — did a LOT of walking. Weather was absolutely gorgeous, and this is early December; I was there in April of 2004 and it was cold and windy and rainy. Go figure…
Anyway, a local paper is having a rhyming contest using the phrase “San Francisco Values” — made a couple of submissions:
Our “San Francisco Values”
Make Bill O’Reilly squirm
He looks on them in horror
As a new and virulent germ.
But our hope and faith and tolerance
Have made The City famous
And just goes to show O’Reilly
Is a loud-mouthed ignoramus.
And a limerick pair:
Our feared “San Francisco Values”
The right-wing forever eschews
With tolerance and hope
They really can’t cope
And so their pooh-poohs they do spew.
But to them we cannot excuse
Their sea of debris and their ooze
The hate and the fear
That is perfectly clear
That passes for Right-Wing “Values”.
Hope everyone has a great evening…
