Anybody out there lurking that would like to drop in?
I’m around, and a bit round as well.
Happy froggies here at Sook Farm. We got several inches of rain yesterday and the froglets are chirruping away in hopes of making tadpoles while the pond’s full.
Hobart flooded, as did much of central Australia. From drought directly to flood – climate change, what climate change?
How bad is the flooding in Hobart?
Look for yourself.
wow. Those people with flooded cars can’t be happy — but those boys are having fun.
Flooding is the worst. I hope it eases up soon.
It’s clear today, so I’m sure everything has gone back to more or less normal. Hobart sits on a very large river, so the rainwater at least has someplace close to drain into.
That’s good.
Although St. Louis sits on the edge of two very large rivers and that’s never made the floodwaters go down any faster. If there’s a lot of rain up in Minnesota or out in the Dakotas, we can have flooding for months.
But this sounds more like flashflooding. More dangerous but shorter duration.
Unlike the rest of Australia, Tasmania is pretty topographical. So we don’t have the huge plains that generate widescale flooding. As you say, it’s flash flooding, with the water coming directly off the hillsides and filling up the low spots. Which reminds me of Southern California, and how with great foresight they put major intersection at the lowest points.
that’s a lot of water.
I hope that signals an end to the drought.
If we get a few more decent rains to follow up the deluge we should be safely on our way back from the edge.
Anyway, the ducks are very happy.
I’ll have a ginger ale please. And move that bowl of popcorn closer. And can I have something chocolate on the side.
I must be channeling SN.
If you put a twist of lime in your ginger ale, it becomes a “horse’s neck.” Only nobody knows that so don’t try ordering it at a bar, unless you want to elucidate the bartender.
Hopefully the bartender won’t think I’m calling him a horse’s neck and assume I just don’t want to say the other end of the horse’s anatomy.
Maybe it’s best to avoid horse anatomical references in a bar.
I wonder if the froggy bartender disappeared because of the horse references? Your reference to tadpoles propagating should have made up for it. Right?
Maybe if you are very good, SN will show up and offer to share some chocolate frosting with you.
heh. I would never get between SN and her frosting.
Where is SN? I haven’t seen her all week.
I’ve been wondering the same thing.
if I don’t see her this weekend and have to wait for next weekend. ::sniff::
Doesn’t she know she needs to adhere to my schedule?
Which by the way is tight tonight, I’m finally having a Christmas get together with some friends. A little late. At least it snowed, since the rest of Christmas is gone.
watch out for rampaging snowmen.
Good evening all.
Been lurking earlier from home where I still can’t use the keyboard.
Now at curly’s – supper coming up soon.
Hi Ask,
I’m glad you’re using the normal keyboard — I never could figure out the code on interpreting yours 🙁
Hey Mary,
You know – it wasn’t really that hard. It only affects the right hand side of the keyboard – once you know i,o,m and n the rest is almost intuitive when reading 😉
I am also glad you have the normal Keyboard. I don’t know if you saw I had to buy a new one as mine shorted out completely after Reba knocked my coffee over on it. LOL
Hi ask.
Did you finally break down and buy a new one?
Hi FM,
Not yet, budget is tight.
circut city has a basic one for 14 dollars. I too understand about tight budgets.
I would probably spend that much in gas to get to a circuit city. 🙂
Hi folks!!!!!It has been sunny and clear all day but a little cool or at least for here. Turns out the bad weather they were predicting for Monday was what we had yesterday and luckily no ice included.
OK did I wake up from a well deserved nap to find the cafe empty?
Anybody around?
but I have to be a good hoosier and keep checking in on the Colts games too.
Still here, but supper is just about ready.
Grilled chicken & pasta w/onion, garlic and rosemary.
Saw up thread about budget tight for new keyboard. I know how that is.
I told everybody tonight it sandwiches. It was enough to go and get the food, put it up and now they want something cooked. Nope I’m being lazy tonight. 🙂
You would think they would volunteer to cook for you.
Well it’s my fault in a way. I look at it nobody can cook as good as me, plus no matter how something I cook tastes I told me if they ever said it wasn’t good, then I wouldn’t cook anymore. They know not to get me mad, because I would come up with something so bad to eat and they would still have to tell me it tasted good. 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!!! But they are southerners. Someone is bound to know how to cook. Oh wait… I keep forgetting my sister-in-law can make the simplest recipe a disaster. LOL
Well with FMom I wouldn’t expect her to cook. The rels can make some really good holiday meals, but that’s about it.
I can get you the recipe … 😉
Hi Olivia.
I think KFC is making a Southern type of poutine with mashed potatoes.
I doubt they would eat poutine though. I made something with feta cheese before and they liked it until I told them it had goat cheese. Odd really. 🙂
That’s what I meant … that if they complain about your cooking, you could serve them poutine. Then they wouldn’t complain anymore.
There was a Jamie Oliver show a couple weeks ago where he went to Italy, and he found that the people he visited with mostly didn’t want to try anything different, just wanted the foods cooked the way mom made them. 🙂
I think I saw one of those shows. He had gone to a monestary on this one.
That’s one of the things I always loved about travelling. You get the chance to check out new foods.
Great minds watch the same TV. 🙂
is for a new laptop, not a new keyboard.
Oh Okay… totally different LOL
Hi Andi.
Now that makes more sense. But geeze a new laptop is only pocket change now of days. 🙂
Maybe your pocket… LOL
Yeah I wished I had pocket change like that. Come on lottery! 😉
the colts aren’t looking good and I’m not that big on football anyway
Can’t wait until tiddly winks becomes a national sport.
NE has quite a lead on ’em now.
I’m not good at pain so I stopped watching.
How was the hockey game on Friday?
oh well …
Game on Friday was okay … a winning outcome, so that’s good … but was sitting beside some odoriferous men.
some high speed sticking. 🙂
I just left early … 🙂
chase you away from a hockey game. I’m shocked.
rotten cheese and poopy diapers combined …
Tt was horrid Andi … the people sitting in the row just behind these men also left early. LOL
Okay, I have just today smelled something terrible, but that just makes my stomach turn.
Just back from supper – curly outdid herself, totally stuffed.
Andi is right, new laptop it is, though not until March.
We do take care packages. 🙂
well, january is over half done and Feb is a short month. LOL
are we all invted?
Would have loved to have you all here!
It was great. Other ingredients were; anchovy paste, fresh spinach (cooked) and a hint of hot, red peppers.
Well if we all show up there, curly probably is going to need a bigger apartment. 🙂
I heard Harvey f on Logo yalking about how people are being self loathing and suicidal by having unprotected sex. I agree with him 100% and made this design today.
Barebacking = Suicide
Good design Refinish and straight to the point, so to speak. 🙂
Well I agree with Harvey that sometimes it seems like we arebeating our geads against a brick wall to get people to listen and realize just how bad this disease really is. The current regime and the drug companies do not make it any easier.
I agree with you on that.
While I totally agree with the consept, I tend to think a more positive message is “no glove, no love.”
I attribute much the risky behavior of disenfrancized male youths to the messages they get from the larger culture that their lives are not worth much, or at the very best are secondary to those of white-heterosexual males.
So, suicide, in a sense, is not a very big thing to risk when weighed against the approval/validation they get from those who exploite their neediness.
Anyways, “be positive, not positive,” if you know what I mean.
No Glove, No Love
This design has been up on the site for some time. I agree we have to do a better job af making the world a safe place for our youth but I am sick as hell of having a young person tell me they are HIV Positive when they have had access to knowledge and power to protect themselves. The infection rate across the world is on the rise again and I am tired of being nice about it. I think we have to scare the hell out of them like we did in the early days to get them to listen.
I think “scaring the hell of them” was easier when AIDS was a death sentance. Too many young men think that if they catch the virus they’ll just take the drugs (although you and I know it’s much more complicated than that, and if you don’t have insurance you’re screwed [again]) .
So, scare tactics, seem to be just that, scare tactics.
Again, I tend to find campaigns that stress a positive message more appealing. There was one I remember that went something along the lines of “If he’s to die for, he’s worth living for.” Which acknowledges the power of sexual attraction while puting decisions about sex into a life-long context.
Anyway, just my queer-as-a-three-dollar-bill’s worth.
Yes but I want teh ad campaigns to show the truth about what the cocktails actually do. The throwing up, the lethergy, and the end result when the damn things quit working. I don’t think all the campaigns need to be negative but sugar coating them has led to the insanity we are seeing lately. I will never stop working to raise funds, awareness, education, and concern and legislation but something different has to happen and if some of it goes against the grain but works, then I will go against the grain to save a few thousand lives and several million tears.
I think everybody has cleared out of the kitchen, and I’m going to make something to eat.
See ya’ll later.
Is anyone still around?
even though I’m pretty square.
So is it union work or grading tonight?
Just a couple of little things to grade. Not too bad. Anything exciting happen this weekend?
Hey Olivia! What’s new?
Gearing myself up for the work week. 🙂
Did your team win without you being there?
(colts are doing better)
when I left … figured if they lost at that point I didn’t really want to see it … but it was more a health and safety matter and the hockey was secondary. 🙂
There is horse racing tonight?
It’s the NFL game — new england vs indianapolis
until the last few moments but now the pats have the ball and great field position.
The high point of my weekend was today’s snow. It’s melting fast but it was nice to see it.
We got a dusting of snow over the weekend. Other than that, we were very boring. Andrew was little sick at the end of the week, so we took it easy. Nothing awful, just a little upset stomach.
We got about 4 inches but then it started sleeting and then it warmed up to the mid-thirties. Now there’s only an inch left.
Sorry that Andrew wasn’t feeling well but I’m glad it wasn’t serious.
Howdy Toni!!!!
My husband needs the computer, so I’ll have to sign off for now. See everyone later.
Hope Andrew feels better, have a good week!
Been busy the past few days…general Real Life stuff…
Anyway, saw this interesting tidbit on the news just now — a guy lost 9 pounds by playing the Nintendo Wii sports games! Now the spouse and I are interested in acquiring one…
Okay, got to get the spud butt to bed…have a good night everyone…
