tossing you a life line, tie this around your waist and if it gets to bad, yank on it twice and I will reel you back to reality.
(two yanks, so hard it takes ghostdancer off his feet)

Bolton

(watering eyes, green around the gills, leans over and pukes, wipe’n face)
Dayum, I just saw God…..and boy,,is he PISSED
(starting 12step program for Kool-Aid abuse)
Good morning, and aren’t you the adventurous one?! There’s your red Koolaid infidelpig! Be sure to report back on this acid trip on which tax cuts will look bigger than they really are and deficits will look magically smaller.
urp uhhh..does God look like the Chimp???
whooaaaa, that’s some baaaaaaaddddd stuff…whooo
Oops, did I already make the page too wide?? If Susan or Boo come along maybe they can fix it?
(hold’n up fingers in a cross formation and hiss’n)
Never More….uh-huh
sweet grass and sage, smudging infidel, to cleanse him of the evil RW koolaid drink, softly humming the Ghostdance song, so the ancestor spirits will dance and protect him from the evil scourge of GWBush and the Koolaid drinkers.
thanks my brother, and I think I’ll need a week or two in the sweat lodge ; )
just be sure the sweat does not drip on the Earth, allready too much contamination.
It’ll coat your stomach, so they won’t get you as intoxicated as they think.
(–From some movie I stupidly remembered after drinking a bottle of wine….)
LMAO…aaaahhh, the innocense of youth…I tried it too, never let go my intestines as hard in my life…
I’m off to work. I will be very disappointed if you guys behave yourselves!
Never happen ; )
have a great day, peace
lol! Whew. Glad to hear it. Reform Democrats are one thing, but I’d hate to think we have any reformed ones hanging around.
Irish Mist.
Please.
ASAP.
Few Words.
Big Thirst.
Hello People.
Feeling Well.
And You?
Hello Sus, and it’s a help yourself bar ; )
the best kind.
My word, just got on line and what is going on over here…What are you up to Infidel, what is all this about kool aid…
Are you minding the store today Infi…
Glad to see you so perky…is that a good word for a man, not sure.
Hi suskind, hope the bar layout is to your satisfaction, and you are helping yourself,,,
Perky works for me “WEG” ; )
Came back long enough to help a thirsty man. Besides, sus deserves this for the great diary he has up.
See ya later, agitators.
You Are.
So Wonderful.
So Wonderful.
To Me.
Can’t you see?
You’re everything I hoped for.
You’re everything I need.
You Are.
So Wonderful.
To Me.
Well, Suskind dear, I did not get up as early as I wanted…but I did get my walk in today! (Changing a lifetime of slothful habits takes time…)
Will probably not get much writing today; the spouse wants the computer (we’re going to need that 2nd computer soon!), and I need to (a) make the bed, (b) shower, (c) eat breakfast, then (d) get some work done, with a break to (e) make my grocery list.
One piece of good news on the health front — got an online message from my doctor (the clinic we go to has a great online system) and my cholesterol is in great shape; triglycerides are a bit high, but that’s not unusual for someone trying to regain the girlish figure she never had to begin with — the exercise/weight loss should help with that. But LDL (bad cholesterol) is quite low, and HDL (good cholesterol) is nice and high, so I’m not quite in as bad shape as originally feared.
Okay, I’m off to the shower (if they ever add smell to the Internet we’re all in trouble), then breakfast…have a great day, everyone!
Step One:
After you write your 20 minutes first thing, you are permitted to get dressed, go for a walk and start your “normal day.”
The benefits: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!
Now I have saved you $16.95 and you don’t have to go out and buy “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. You can buy me an Irish Mist, and we’ll say we’re even.
My apologies to everyone I’ve failed to reply to in the last couple of days – as evidenced by the fact that I’m actually awake at this hour, I don’t know if I’m coming or going yet.
It’s a beautiful day here on the north pacific coast – blue skies and sunny. Whheee! It’s finally summer!
and again
Ahhh, I see the pig man’s up and started early…LMAO…needed the levity this am…me and the Bu had a little run-in w/ one of these last night:
Phewwwweee
None the worse for eau de polecat…it fortunately missed us, as it jumped and fell into a 41/2′ deep window well just as it sprayed.
Then I had to go fetch the “skunk ramp” from the garage so the bastad could climb out…yeah, been there, done that…the fuckers can’t climb and I get several in this well every year.
Ya’ll need to stay away from that red kool-aid…
Later
Peace
dayum man, I married one of those once, well did’nt look quite like that, but she was a stinker ; ) (not in the nasal scnets either ; )
Real life is so funny
Morning/afternoon folks. I see pockets of mist back again under our blue skies, and while the heat’s on this morning, I’ll probably still end up in shorts this afternoon.
I’m on my 2nd cup of tea getting ready head down to the shop. Here’s today’s misty morning view from Pass Lake on Fidalgo Island.
Gooserock, now that I know some of your methods I have to smile when I see your pictures and appreciate them even more.
Thank you for reminding us city dwellers of the beauty out there.
<imagining photographer with a pair of leashes and doggies wrapped around his legs>
Virtually all my current shots use our cheap compact Nikon digital camera bare. For older pictures that I mostly haven’t dug out yet, we had a nice middling Nikon with basic standard, telescopic and wide angle lenses and optional polaroid filter. I’m not at all a photography expert, I just like to capture pretty scenes when I run across them.
But here’s a genuine original innovation of mine, although it’s certain that countless others did it before and after me.
The 1984 solar eclipse photographed on a building wall, projected there by The Humble Telescope.
What I discovered during a carpentry beverage break was that my wristwatch glass was projecting a round image of the sun 30 feet up on the inside of a barn roof. Watch was square, image was round.
Eureak! In other words, it’s acting like a pinhole mirror. It turns out that pinholes create images by simple geometric filtering, not by any magical optical action. The mirror gives great viewing potential over pinhole hole viewers because you don’t need to build a light-proof box. You can bounce the image into any darkened room.
The image above was projected 30 feet and was around 7″ across. The crucial element is front silvered mirror–with the silver on top–so that the glass doesn’t interfere and blur the image. Such mirror is available free lying in shards in most parking lots left over from minor auto accidents.
I named my telescope The Humble Telescope on a CompuServe astronomy forum a zillion years ago, long before the days of Web or Gopher, when the billion dollar Hubble was discovered to be flawed and giving images no better (all dollars considered) than mine!
Most intriguingly–The Humble Telescope will reveal sunspots as small as 2-3 earth-diameters across, if they’re present.
That is SO COOL. Thanks for the picture and the Humble explanation.
hey Goose, are you the 4th leg on the tripod behind the glass?
just wondering if your a fellow photog.
in the usual sense at all. I wouldn’t even call it a hobby. We just carry a little digital camera around most times we go out. But I do love a beautiful landscape and seascape when I see one, and around here, that’s pretty much a daily event.
My wife is more into the visual arts and has done photography (including darkroom work) and other graphics work for a living at times.
When I got home from work yesterday I had a letter from my daughter in her third week of camp in the Sierra: “Dear Mommy, I am sick. The infirmary people are taking care of me. Don’t worry.” Ha!
Then last night the camp doctor called but was called away on an emergency and had to hang up fast, then didn’t call back. Gaah!
The doctor called again just now though, just as I was trying to get through to camp, and told me my daughter has an ear infection but is not feeling too bad. My girl comes home tomorrow, hooray! After 3 weeks I miss having a kid around.
together. My son is very intelligent and he keeps me running a lot. He really needs friends too but that can be hard because he frequently talks over other little guys his age. He is very small in stature too so he is going to be way smaller than the little guys who want to talk and play on his level. I am hoping for very special friends to show up this school year, mostly cuz I’m so tired. I don’t know what I’m going to do with week and no Joshman, it will be like someone cut my arm off. It is a warm up for school starting.
I know, Tracy, being a parent really teaches you how to let go doesn’t it? over and over and over.
If you’re anything like me you’ll spend more time online while they’re gone!
Yesterday we had an “Amber Alert” on the website.
Was the missing child ever found? What was the story?
(The diary seems to be gone today if you scroll back on the old front page stories.)
Sorry, but I have this nasty little problem called “work” that interferes with my blogging from time to time, if I missed a big announcement…
It was posted on Kos that the father and someone else are in contact with the girl and that he is pretty sure she’s safe.
Thanks. Now I can go back to worrying about global warming. 🙂
I hope MoveOn doesn’t get pissed, but someone made copies of ‘The Truth about Iraq’ and removed all references to MoveOn, because soldiers have been preprogrammed to not listen to anything said after MoveOn has been said or seen, and only left on all the testimony from the experts. And they left these copies scattered around offices here on Post with the simple black marker title THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ! Can you guys believe how evil some people are?
wicked evil, some one, wink wink, deserves a medal. I say the medal of truth, honesty and Liberal thinking.
You go girl! Um, I mean, WHO would do such a thing?
MilitaryTracy…you are my hero! Or, erm, whoever doctored those tapes is.
Hi girl, glad to finally have you on board and hope you will have time to participate…
Don’t forget about my site either, Zander dear….
Remember who was talking about the Seth Books, by Jane Roberts a few weeks back..please let me know if you do or you are the one..
Greetings to all, I have forgotten to say and how is everyone today….it is 87 deg. here in socal, feel like 95..
Dear kansas,
Opening the Night Cafe Now, OK??? I think you’re gone to work, and it’s past nine here… OK if I open? and everyone un-recommend??
suskind
I’m here! Go for it, suskind. Things seem to have slowed down and a new diary might rev them up again. I’ll put the closed sign on this one as soon as I see your new one.
trying new wierd recipes…. how about a “Shark Bite?”
