Say hello to the newest member of the Frog Pond:
What’s shaking today?
Greetings and salutations rjones2818! Welcome to the pond.
Best compliment? I’d have to think on that because there’s been so, so many. Hah!
Ummm…
My apologies for not getting to this sooner. I didn’t know we had this happening.
(hangs head in shame).
Thank you for the warm welcome, though!
Welcome to all new BMTers!
I don’t often get compliments but about 2 weeks ago some guy at the gas station asked me if I was on TV.
someone said I look like a young Richard Dreyfuss.
That’s a compliment. Right?
Nah… You like this, don’t you? 🙂
And welcome to anyone I haven’t noticed around here as new…
Many – many years ago; on a 1-week canoing trip, we were 16-17-18 yo: [ask] you look like a Coke commercial!
Boran and ask when are you two heading to Hollywood?
Booman in your case, to close to call if it’s a compliment or not. 🙂
I need an agent.
I don’t think I need one. That was the summer of ’73, and I sure don’t look like a Coke commercial anymore…
Everyone needs an agent, ask.
I nominate Andi to be the agent for both of you. With her sweet disposition she could have you two stars in no time. 🙂
No matter whay you say, I’m not giving her more than a 10% cut. (Not including the inevitable huge merchandising revenues from action figures and the like.)
Sorry Boran, but I think you two are past the action figure stage. 🙂
And you feel comfortable making that statement after seeing this dashing photo? (I’m the one on the right.)
Well having seen that picture, I’m thinking I could get you a gig on MST3K.
Sounds good but I’m still not giving up on the merchandising.
Sounds like CG is up for being your first customer. Come to think of it, I’ll be the CBs would be great at design.
So let me figure this one out Boran. Your action figure would be getting it’s head bitten off by a dinosaur. You know that might work.
OMG, I SO have to have the boran2 action figure. Will it come with pull-string vocal snark?
Morning everyone. People tell me I have beautiful dog. 😉
I’d add my recipe for faux turkey to the list, but I’ll be on holiday in New Zealand at the time. Only a week before we leave. Woo. Hoo.
Morning keres. Luna is beautiful, but I’m more partial to Albert.
Woo Hoo indeed on the vacation.
Albert certainly has his own fan club – of which he’s the charter member.
He got out again yesterday. But fortunately for me Luna was sleeping on the front walk which kept him from going off the concrete and into the bushes. I found him around the side of the house where we keep the trash cans.
That would have scared me to death once I couldn’t have found him. I went through something similar with George a week ago.
Oh trust me, finding a door slightly ajar causes immediate Albert panic here. He used to never go out. He’d sit in a open door, but never leave. Then one day he hopped outside and now he’s got a taste for adventure.
With George it’s not so much he has a taste for adventure, it’s more he has a load of stupid. He see another dog and he takes out after it.
Ah, the chutzpa of the small dog.
Albert similarly has no fear. We recently had a pair of Brown Falcons move in to nest, and from the bits of feral rabbit fluff I’m finding down the back I’m pretty certain that right now he wouldn’t last an hour outside. Also, I’m sure the feral cats would see him as a fine plump (and slow moving) meal. I just spotted one yesterday and will have to get the cat-trap from Imogen’s mum when we get back.
I would definitely say Albert would have a harder time of it than George.
I shopping for a new bicycle and since I’m short (5’2″), the saleswoman had pulled out an apprpopriate frame size for me to try. But instead of fitting, it was too small which caused her to remark “You have really long legs”.
Of course, she didn’t mean that my legs were actually long; she just meant long in relation to my torso but it was my first (and only) height compliment and I loved it.
Gee I’ve never gotten a height compliment. 🙁
Leggy huh?
Petite is the new black. I’m sure of it.
I’m long-bodied, which means if I’m sitting next to someone I’ve just met they expect me to be really tall when I stand up (as opposed to 5’7″, which I am).
Does this mean that Jim’s not the really tall Scandinavian that I thought he was (guestimated from pictures of two of you)?
He’s tall (6’2″) but not Scandinavian (scotch-irish).
That explains the fur. 😉
How does he look in a kilt? Has he got the knees for it? You see the occasional old codger in Hobart wearing one, complete with Tam’o’Shanter and sporran.
He’s got arthritic knees. I can’t say about the kilt but he looks good in cycling shorts — he’s got a nice tush and great calves.
A wise man develops a nice tush. I always laugh at the guys who work on their arms – like women care about biceps. It’s buns fellas. Get on that bike and pedal pedal pedal.
This will date me but the only big crush (I guess you could call it that) was for the very cute butt of Roman Gabriel (1960s,1970s football player).
Well keres a nice tush means a lot to men also.
Ya don’t say?
Yes dear, we know this. In fact there’s nothing about men’s likes and dislikes that women don’t know. We only wish men were equally perceptive.
I bow to your greater wisdom. 🙂
Yep that was a great movie.
I only got one nap in today, so I’m off to bed early. Enjoy your day keres.
One of my favorites. Nighty-night
I guess that explains why all the women I was ever involved with spent most of their time trying to push every single “pissed off” button I have, usually deliberately.
On the other paw, mejor solo que mal acompañado… so it all works.
That must have been hysterical.
Hey, it was truly lovely moment in the history of my shortness. I treasure it.
oy, what a day. Hi, everyone!
I have a friend who buries her face in my armpits every time she sees me because I apparently smell good. There are some compliments that take time to get used to… 🙂
Do you attract every mosquito in the house?
I do. I wake up covered in bites and no one else gets bit. I’m told I should take this as a complement as it means I smell “sweet”.
I get eaten alive. It’s quite often you’ll hear me say in a horrified voice, “West Nile!!West Nile!!” when I discover a new bite.
LOL.
Of course, after living in Haunta virus and Bubonic Plague territory (NM), I’ve gotten a bit a-feared of mice droppings and fleas as well. And ticks and Lime disease, etc. Tasmania is blessedly free of those diseases, plus rabies. Sometimes it’s good to live on an island.
Now where’s the excitement living in a place like that. Having a little Bubonic Plague around livens things up.
Hiya Manny.
Never been there before. People usually grab a kleenex to hold to their noses when I’m around. 🙂
Hi, Family Man – at least it keeps them away from your hammock 🙂
If I can just get into eating large quantities of raw onions and garlic I could keep them even farther away. However, for now George is always by me and I’ll grab him, give him a little squeeze, and he’ll release one of his silent killers. 🙂
Well, I have to admit I didn’t notice but maybe the rain rinsed away the smell or more likely, I was completely distracted by the wonderful aromas coming from the restaurant.
yeah, let’s blame the torrential downpour 🙂
I was leaning more toward the great salsa.
Hmmm, I thought I was the only one who did that.
Thanksgiving recipes next week? Yum.
I am so hungry right now…
Hi CG — you need to get to cookin’.
Gosh, Manee, you really threw me off this week with that question.
I guess the best one I’ve got recently was when my kid’s school shrink called me up just to tell me that I was raising one hell of a cool kid and I was doing real good. It was out of the blue and unexpected and very sweet.
