May the 4’s be with you
New cafe and fresh margins. Don’t go a busting, ya hear.
Now that we have fresh margins, is anybody around?
Yoo Hoo! behind you and to the left ;o)
Kinda quiet around these parts today George. And since the Giants didn’t actually lose today, I’m not uhzacklee sure what to do with myself :o)
Hi Super.
George has always found for any occasion drinking beer is a good start.
How’re ya doing today?
I’m good. Soon to be better since I’m on my fifth beer and just took a muscle relaxer for my back! :o) Shhhh…don’t tell the Surgeon General that I mixed LOL
And you?
Doing better everyday. Finally getting over this crude I had. I must had missed it, but did you hurt yourself?
Not yet, but I’m workin on it :o)
LOL that’s one way of getting there. 🙂
the colts got creamed
Hi Andi,
what’s up with their late season collapses anyway?
I don’t know — perhaps success is just too terrifying. Or maybe they think if they lose before the playoffs they’ll get it all out of the way.
Sounds like a certain democratic party that I know :o)
what a horrible thought — the next thing you know we’ll be hearing that the center is the most important player on the team and the offensive line is going to stop blocking the defense because they want everybody to in the big tent.
Orange jerseys, right?
like that — fortunately, I don’t have to since you did. 🙂
May I just say how stunned I have been by the level of support over there for the policies of the Bush administration, as evidenced by the number of people who think their crimes should be neither investigated nor punished?
But I digress…how is everyone? I’ve missed you all lately.
Have you been working or doing something fun?
Busy working (year-end is always a zoo, since clients want to use up their budgets) and dealing with major surly teenager issues.
And then, we de-leafed the yard today. That was exhausting. :/
school is just a little over 12 hours away.
We’ve never raked up our leaves — the joys of having no neighbors and no road frontage.
Oh grow up ;o)
You overheard my most recent conversation with CBtE, huh? 🙂
No, I saw a reply to a post of yours at orange that said the same thing yesterday. They’re so intelligent, they are.
Too funny. I never would have even looked for a response over there if you hadn’t mentioned it. Guess that shows how much I care about what they think…
I really wish ya’ll would put links every now and then. 🙂
Just for you!
Thank you. I think I’ve only ever put one comments over there. I asked a question and got shot down for asking. That was enough for me.
And where does the tight end fit into this scenario? :o)
oh I think we all know exactly where the tight end figures in but since our mothers raised us right, we can’t say.
Friday night they won 5-0 and today they won 8-4.
And the big guys are playing tonight at 6pm (they lost their last one 3-1).
So that’s why you’ve been gone. Hockey and poutine!
What’s Poutine?
It’s a staple food of Canada. I’ll let Olivia explain it to you.
It’s beer right? That’s a staple isn’t it? LOL
Well beer goes with poutine.
Olivia bring that picture up of yours. Super I hope you have a strong stomach. 🙂
uh oh
this should explain everything … mmmmmmm ….
Or you could have grits.
I love grits. But I’m a sissy Yankee, so I like them with lots of butter and sugar. Maybe a little cinnamon too.
That’s called Cream of Wheat.
so are you a tree-buyer triumphant?
No. :/
We sort of slept the day away.
I have to admit that having no cultural attachment to or much experience with Xmas trees, napping sounds much nicer.
Did your Mom feed you that nasty wheatina mud like my Mom did?
We had Cream of Wheat and, for a real treat, Coco Wheats! I still love them, so don’t make fun of me. 🙂
Never heard of it. But how about corn tamale pie? Or chicken baked in an electric oven with nothing on it? Joan Crawford’s daughter has nothin on me! :o)
Corn tamale pie sounds way too exotic for my mom in the 60s. It was all spaghetti, beef stew, pot roast. Very Leave it to Beaver foods.
Are you a little afraid of going into a persistent vegetative state from mixing muscle relaxers with alcohol? 😉
You people just don’t know how to eat right. 🙂
I feel like I just emerged from one. You kidding me? ;o) And when did they start selling 5 packs? I can’t find that last beer LOL
That’s why it’s always best to keep a keg on hand. 🙂
this looks like wallpaper paste … :/
That’s it?! I was thinking it was some kind of Northern Territory boiled pork ears or something :o)
Ummmmmmm boiled pork ears. 🙂
Hey FM, isn’t getting kind of hot in that froggy suit?
It sure was. I keep forgetting who I am sometimes.
Gotta go for a minute and get some stuff for FMom.
Back in a second.
you can get it w/ fatback in lieu of onion rings…can hear the arteries snapping shut all the way up here
See, I always thought that fat insulated your heart and atrteries against the winter cold. Maybe not huh?
Hi dada.
Super don’t worry about arteries. It just a simple little procedure having your chest cracked open to replace those things.
If you play hockey daily, you can have all the poutine you can shove in, and it won’t hurt you. That’s the rule. Now…same doesn’t apply to watching hockey, of course.
Here`s my sister`s take on it. We were discussing foods we ate as youngsters.
BTW; She lives in poutine country, Quebec.
You’d have to pay me quite a lot now before I would eat not only margarine, but also Prem (remember that shit?), Kam, Paris Pâté (which I loved then), canned Irish Stew, canned beans, corned beef, baloney, and alot of other crap we used to eat way back then. And you’d have to pay me even more to eat de la poutine! Have you ever heard of it? Supposedly, it’s a traditional Québécois dish (created in the eighties, I believe), the tourists love it, and it really looks disgusting. It’s french fries, topped with brown sauce and sprinkled with du fromage en crottes. A chic Montréal restaurant now serves it with foie gras!
Here in Detroit, skip the gravy part, and just pour on the melted cheese.
Here`s dusk last evening for you Kidspeak. The view from my yard.
Lovely!
wish I could see that every evening. But then, I’m not sure I’d get any work done at all.
And you are close to the water. I’m very envious.
I hear the surf at night when there are waves, other than that, It`s pretty quiet.
Beautiful picture.
to give you such a good weekend.
wasn’t it … for a change … 🙂
how about you — did you have a good w/e?
Senators, yes?
and their 3-1 loss was to the Rangers. 🙂
Olivia…I’m damned sorry :o)
:o)
I haven’t payed any attention to Hockey yet this year. that’s the beauty of living in NY. It’s so easy to move on to the next failure of a team when one doesn’t suit you.
got some errands done, read, had nice walks in nice weather (and had some interesting light on rocks in the creeks caused by broken, thin skims of ice).
Hi Andi.
Yesterday our temps were in the 90’s, so of course todays temperature will be in the 60’s, with occassional spits of rain.
My cheapo pop riveter is not quite up to the larger pop rivets that I’m using to connect lenghts of rain guttering. So I’m currently stymied in that project.
Hi keres.
Hi FM.
I’d offer anyone who wants a xmas tree to come cut one at our place, but it’s a bit of “drive” (assuming you own a amphibious vehicle).
The people who put our house here (it was moved from another site) named the property “Whispering Pines.” To that end they planted lots of pine trees around the house and along the fence lines. We’ve been steadily cutting them down and replacing them with native trees.
I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to xmas coming in the middle of Summer.
That’s all that is around us is pine and cedar trees. With the pine needles and pine cones they are a pain. But the pine cones do help start a nice fire.
They should flip the months like the seasons flip down under. Talk about confusion. 🙂
Yeah, Halloween in Spring is just weird. And what I find really strange are the things that happen here that were seasonally related in the northern hemisphere that are still held in the same month that they were held up north.
Country Fairs, which are called “Shows” here, are held in the Spring, which means there isn’t the same kind of agricultural emphasis here. There’s no giant vegetables (and pretty much no produce) and even the farm animals are in the wrong part of their growth cycle.
I guess it’s all in what you’re used to and you’re not used to that. Maybe you could get a whole new revolution to get things turned around.
Australia hasn’t even “revolted” from England yet. There’s not much hope on the lessor issues.
Sometimes you gotta start small. 🙂
He’s so Urban. Must be a Michigan thing (hidden meaning). First he only started fires with fat wood but I had that day of saying that real men from Wyoming never use fat wood and make great big fires…he had heard a rumor that you could use newspaper and after I said that he grabbed that newspaper so fast it was scary. Then I had teach him to only burn newsprint……that other slick multi colored stuff…..I’m not sure if it’s safe for the air quality to burn. He is always complaining about the needles and cones and I mentioned to him that a little box someplace dry outside storing the stuff would store “fire starter from hell” but he didn’t believe me the first time I said it. I luv him, I hate showing him up or being more “manly” than he is. So I will collect some of the cones pretty soon and pretend to start a smallish pathetic fire in front of him. I will pretend that I wanted to do it as a special treat for him and when it is sort of successful but needs bigger logs and he helps out he will notice those cones. I will tell him you told me to do it that way. He didn’t hear me the first time I said it because it was a manly thing I was talking about.
Or just get a log of dried pine for kindling and chip off what you need. Got to be careful with that though. I almost started a chimney fire one time.
to my comments this morning. Cymbalta is really doing a great job on my SAD (seasonal affective disorder), which is considered a form of depression but I feel is human hybernation due to the caveman gene. I feel a bit not there in the mornings and I see it in my comments tonight. It is sort of cute though. Not complaining by the way. I have waited a long time for something like Cymbalta to come along and I am grateful…….very very grateful ;)!
It seems to me mornings are my best time. It seems my brain works better and as the day goes on, I just go downhill.
Not the dreaded morning person! Have you ever or do you now whistle before 7:00 am? Have you ever or do you now whistle aimlessly carrying no specific tune except joyfulness before noon? Are you or have you ever been Donald Rumsfeld?
No to all. 😛
I’d rather 60s over 90s — I hate hot weather.
Time for a trip to the hardware store for a new riveter?
The 90’s are only good if you are at the beach.
I have to go to Hobart tomorrow, so I’ll check out my options at that hardware stores then.
empty the cheap amber ale keg in here yet. I’m really Christmasing out this year. We have a lot of ornamental things that my husband’s mother gave him. Little trees, santas, and all sorts of stuff. We do have a fairly large house now. There’s plenty of room for a little tree here and a little tree there and unlike my first posting here where I sort of hated this new house, it is house I know now and have accepted. “W” is on his way out and the people have spoken loudly and said that this Iraq thing really needs to be figured out damn it, so I’m very much getting in the Christmas spirit. I even plan on making Martha Stewarts sugar cookies this year in heaping helpings and my grandmothers homemade layered toffee, chocolate, and chopped nuts (mmmmmm yum).
for 24 hours and crochet a poncho. At this point anything is possible.
Gee Tracy it sounds like you going to have an old fashioned Alabama Christmas. 😉
off of these very proper Southern girls down here before it’s all done!
My goodness you are in a good mood. 🙂
Looks like I missed the party. Nice Happy Hour FM. Way to end the weekend 🙂
Hi Mary. How was the nap?
It was great, I wish I could nap more often 🙂
And then I went to the grocery store. I’m having eggnog in honor of the season. Got a little shot of something to slip into it?
I haven’t had eggnog in years. Forgotten even what it taste like. Just remember 3 shots to each nog.
is that you?
adjusted. I do carry this unexplainable odd hopefulness about Southern Belles now though!
Bet you even say ya’ll now. 🙂
I have said ya’ll to Southerners in jest of how Yankee I am. Then I have also been speaking with Southerners who I don’t know and aren’t likely to ever know me personally about work oriented things, where people really need to understand each other, and I have said ya’ll and it didn’t even register with the portion of me that deals with my own personal lying. I was just speaking the language damn it because things need to happen here, but my daughter always dissolves into fits of giggles when it happens to me.
Why would you consider it personal lying to say ya’ll? When I lived around the country I picked up different accents and words and I just thought of it as a part of growth.
I’m going to go and open a 24/7. Back in a minute.
