Close as I could get.
I have been informed by the Bu that, due to the fact is 70° + out, that it’s time for a walk.
Later
Peace
Nice! The flower looks like it’s taking a bow.
Visual proof or is that “Wroof” that Andi is a blankie thief! 🙂
that’s Jim under that blanket.
Given that you shop exclusively at REI and LLBean, I couldn’t tell either. 🙂
I guess I needed more of his huge feet in the picture.
And it’s not true about bean and rei — I support my local outdoors too.
Umm I bet Jim learned from a pro. You! 😀
It’s a great photo. All warm and snuggily. Makes me crave hot cocoa for some reason.
I have to run out to Portland. CodePink meeting and I have to take the kidlets. They are not thrilled. Thus… Danni won’t be supportive about her big, little brother – and he in turn will be a grouchzilla.
It’s Grouchzilla versus DoIHaveta
ACK! Be well and see you tomorrow.
Huge feet huh? Heh.
big enought for ya?
No way. REally?
Oh very much way.
Sure is quiet. Think FM took everybody with him to his doctor’s appointment?
I think Family Man is napping and everyone else took one look at that picture of Sasquatch and got the same idea.
You live with big foot?
And here I believed her when she said the secret to a happy marriage is an uneven number of pets.
Yeah, she changes her story all the time. That’s why I’m not married. Nobody will ever give me the straight story.
some sort of contradiction between staying married because you have an uneven number of pets and being married to a man who causes an entire cow to die every time he gets a new pair of shoes?
But the rules just keep increasing …
with big feet. Lots of expense but no rule.
There is only one rule for staying married.
Or, in other words, DOGS RULE!
Well of course (and surely you noticed just how slackerly and comfy Sniff is in the picture).
Not if there were an even number of cows before he got the shoes.
Here’s Shadow wondering why her Mommy deserted her! (Photo taken by my son last night…)
Shadow took guilt lessons from Andi’s mother?
Not sure, but she certainly has the technique down!
If she’d studied with my mom, you’d still be in L.A. trying to shift the huge load of guilt off your shoulders.
Well she must have got it somewhere.
Maybe she was the child of a Jewish mother in an earlier life. I know I’ve picked up a lot of technique over the years.
I found her mother as a kitten in the middle of the street and we named her Charlie. I was sloppy in those day about neutering my pets, so Charlie ended up having a litter, of which all were adopted except my most beloved Shadow.
discussion about how the nine lives thing actually works. My take has always been that the cat gets reborn which would mean that Shadow still could have been the kid of a Jewish mother but I infer from your comment that you think the each of the nine lives is a continuation from the point of the previous life’s cessation.
If we go with your theory, then I would have to guess that there was a Marano Jew somewhere in Shadow’s ancestry which would help explain why she does guilt but not to the level of expertise we might expect.
Made ya sorry the whole thing came up, didn’t I?
I think you scared her away. Works on me every time. 🙂
Apparently not. Looks like more of a fatal attraction.
As soon as I see the word theory or esoteric I usually run the other way. There are some things I just can’t fake.
that my whole discussion was a fake, though I might have slipped up and said something sensible but if I did it was an accident.
Well don’t count on me to find where you accidentally made sense. It sounded smart to me, so I blocked it out.
Totally new word. Wow. I had no idea! Not scared away but decided on a whim to call an old friend and we got sidetracked into a long conversation….
I had to let something useful slip in that post. But the question of how the nine lives thing works is still open.
She’s not angry. Or her ears would be flatter 🙂
((((MythMother)))
I wonder what the odds of so many of us having black pooties… and POOCHIES (nods to Boo and Bu)
I know it’s odd. We must be some kind of cyber-coven.
Evening everyone! Remember this morning when I told you all about our morning earthquake? Now they are saying there was absolutely no sysmic activity here at all. No one can figure it out. Read about it here
Very Strange!
weird.
Maybe a whole lot of people decided to have a very good time all at the same time.
Brenda said earlier it was everyone jumping up and down over the Delay resignation…lol!
Happy hour it is. Sweet Tuesday to y’all.
Yea, he’s reported moving to VA? Just wondering how quickly he’ll join Ashcroft and register as…you guessed it, A Lobbyist.
T. Delay & Associates., we hammer
I need a refill and some more popcorn.
I’m sure the paperwork is already filled out and the offices are rented.
Why yes. The sense is he may have announced he’s departing but he still owns the joint and congresscritters.
Unless he can come up with $$$$ for them, he will have no influence with them. They are all gold diggers.
He’ll be doing just that..until such time he’s measured for an orange suit. Note the framing of his departure as well as wingnuttias, like Kate O’Bierne talkingpoints cut and ready –he has done “absolutely nothing illegal, nothing untoward, nothing unethical.”
Yea, let’s keep happy hour happy; I buying rounds to closing or ’til pigs fly.
woo hoo, pigs have never YET flown in the cafe so I think we’re good to go until closing.
Then I’m saved from having to raid my ‘mad money’ account. Good to go ’til closing it is.
That is weird! Maybe some super secret weapons testing?
Well, as the article stated, no one is taking claim to the boom and there are alot of bases and proving grounds in SoCal. Just really weird for sure.
You think they’re totally honest about stuff like that? Pfft.
Nope! I don’t believe anything they say. Think I will go make some dinner. Have a good night folks!1
Hell Second, they even lie about NHL hockey injuries. Some dude breaks his thumb and they announce he has a lower body bruise. Don’t want the opponents going after his owwie.
Can’t trust nobody. Not even me when almond roca is on the line 🙂
OMG that is weird and and that is exactly what I thought too Second
Yeah I’m still here because the ride will be later.
Have fun in Portland. I love seeing your pictures…Portland looks cool.
and got to use our brand new Diebold voting equipment.
You did? For what?
School Board; increase in taxes for junior college district, two other things.
There were only 4 things on the ballot. It was smart to roll them out in an election with low turnout rather than waiting for November when all hell would break lose.
Could you see your vote being stolen before you even left the booth?
that they had chosen Diebold that I hadn’t even paid attention to it. So I didn’t remember that we had a choice between touch screen and optical scan.
So I requested optical scan, making a point to say I wanted a paper trail.
How’s it hanging? Anybody around?
Hi Olivia, how are you tonight? Did your snow melt?
Snow is all gone, thankfully. How was your day?
It was fine. I woke up yesterday and today anticipating a bad day and each day the news that will make the day bad is postponed. I’m hoping it waits until Friday.
Isn’t there some corporate rule about delivering bad news on a Friday? Like, don’t do it because they’ll go home and kill themselves over the weekend.
The news (which isn’t really that bad) has already occurred but only about 5 of us know about it. The decision to withhold it from everyone else until the last minute was made over my protest.
But it will inevitably come out, probably by at least Friday, and all the younglings will be pissed at the way it was handled. And since I’m in charge of mentoring — guess what my day is going to be like?
Um…crappy?
Maybe you could have your appendix out.
I don’t believe that frog was from your garden. (And if he was that scary spider would have got him and gobbled him all up).
I haven’t seen a frog once. Not even a toad. 🙁
Not one frog or toad ever?
Hey, I can ship you an arkload of spring peepers.
Not a frog or a toad. Not sure why. I’d love to have a big toad sitting on the deck at night eating the bugs. Any ideas on how to attract them? I don’t think the peepers would survive the border crossing.
A little pond! I want to get the boys to help me put one in the backyard this year. They’re so cool and the sound of running water is soothing.
Now that sounds great — but like work. You can have you’re own little FBC if you set up a lawn chair SN. 🙂
They have kits – not much work. Or so I’m told.
We’ve got loads of toads, too. Ya think they’re hardier than the peepers?
Are there no frogs and toads in Ottawa or are you just unnaturally bereft?
Or maybe it was that vicious looking spider.
Maybe the bunny in the yard is carnivorous. (Did you see my bunny last night?)
I saw your bunny; he was quite the handsome fella. I thought about posting my one pathetic picture of a jackrabbit to go with it but I didn’t want the jackrabbit to overwhelmed with inferiority.
Hi Ho!
If you were a man, I’d slap you; or, start taking bids from the room.
Hey olivia!
I’ve been lurking at boo for a bit now. For whatever reason, tonight I’m posting. Maybe its the red wine?
Hi Alice. That red wine sounds good but I’ve been fighting a headache and it would probably do me in.
Try white wine. And M&Ms.
I think all the m&m’s I ate last week gave me a big sugar crash. which combined with my incredibly bad week at work combined to put me in a REALLY bad mood.
I’m off m&m’s for a while. Cold turkey. (plus I don’t have any cuz I ate them all)
The only thing that could possibly make it worse would be that you had just bought the 2# value size of M&Ms and you have PMS. Maybe that’s just me.
How big is the #2 value size? The bag I ate was pretty big. But I didn’t have PMS. Unless it was starting really early.
I got this PMS humorlette (or less) from my sister today:
That’s great!
Here’s what applies to me:
5.People Make me Sick
7.Pardon My Sobbing
9.Pass My Sweatpants
10.Pissy Mood Syndrome
The others not so much. But the rant at the end is priceless, It just needs to be re-written for the office for me.
That is classic psychotic motherspeak. I’ve done it myself once…or maybe more. I’ve blocked it.
But when you are only one of 5 women partners out of 45 (and only 3 of you have voting rights) — you have a classic case where motherspeak is necessary. Because men in the office are sometimes no better than men at home.
You DO get to leave them at the end of the day. But you probably spend more hours with them in total.
So even on a professional level men need mothering? That’s kind of sad.
It’s VERY sad.
And I actually work with a great group of guys. They just sometimes think like men.
(sigh)
My sister’s given me that rant about how her husband can’t find anything. Rings very true.
If someone in my house knew where everything was located I wouldn’t bother to keep track of stuff either. It’s like the uterus is a tracking device.
My sister also says that he can’t remember what time their favorite tv shows come on. Ever. Sports he remembers, because she doesn’t watch it, but the rest, no.
That’s probably not an act. Classic television syndrome.
may I please have a beer over here in this quiet booth in the corner?
Thanks
Peace
HEY!
Who do YOU think you’re sneaking past Mister?
I’m safe (I don’t know about SN, but she seems OK today.)
Peace?
I’m safe today too. I had a couple of Lindt milk chocolate truffles with Easter bunny wrappers and that seemed to calm me down.
chocolate is always better when associated with THE BUNNY
and THE BUNNY removes all the calories. Uh huh.
I was at Target buying a birthday present for the little girl that I guardian for (is guardian a verb?) and I was transported back to the Easters of my youth by all of the little pastel dresses and white straw hats with long ribbons. Aww! I ended up buying her the cutest little dress and by then I was a sucker for the Easter candy. I’m so gullible – a merchandisers dream.
the marketing people at Target are evil geniuses. I cannot get out of that store without buying at least 10 things that I DID NOT go to buy.
I’m one of the Hos I guess … 😉
Welcome, welcome, welcome. I’m so glad to meet you. Congrats on the de-lurking. And I’m honoured that you’ve choosen my post in the cafe to delurk to. 🙂
Thanx olivia!
The only reason I lurk here or anywhere, is I just don’t have time to read all my ‘fave blogs and give credit or contribute as much as I would like to.
Having fun here tonight though, like the peolple here.
you could always claim you were overwhelmed by the charm of the people posting in the cafe.
I’m brown-nosing with 4’s all around, on me!
but I gave you a 3, just ’cause you are on to my evil plan…vote for me!
This is cool, a snarky newbie!
I wouldn’t mess with Andi if I were you …
just sayin …
that gets into brawls, not me.
All I do is set bad examples for Indy.
I like olivia; she gave me a 4 and said ‘Hi!’
AndiF is the one that scares me. Knows too much allready, and me just a poor/innocent newbie.
just enough. I’m open-minded on the poor part but not buying the innocent bit — especially given the way you went after those flies. Can you say Renfield
You know the brawl didn’t happen b/c a certain someone (you) wouldn’t get my back. I believe the opponent claimed victory by default.
for your own good — think how bad you would have felt after you thumped poor Family Man.
On a related note where is he? Suspicious.
of the long trip and the doctor’s appointment sent him into napping overdrive.
Do we need a new lounge? I’ll put it up since you’ve been minding it all day. If you want.
I was going to offer. I was!
i’ll do it. back in a minute.
to do it. Somebody better do it soon. Olivia is downthread crying for a new one.
It’s too late at night here for flies.
Please help yourself to one of my moths!
Wanna share this one w/ me? 🙂
Nice and juicy…
http://www.flybywire.dsl.pipex.com/piccies/ButterfliesMoths/2004/20040808/Moth.jpg
…umm, still a newbie…
Very intricate markings/colours. Be a shame to eat that one, what do you say?
and is it safe to eat green flies?
But does that really matter to us froggies? 😉
See you over in the new cafe — it loads faster!
Just the man I wanted to converse w/ … So, are you going to tell us!
.
over here in the closed section…just between you and me…:{)
It’s a cropped, edited pic of late afternoon light reflecting off a textured glass cabinet door in my kitchen.
Part of a series of images I’m intermittently working on called Reflections
orig is HERE. Just playing w/ new stuff.
Happy?
Peace
I was so far off I was on another planet LOL. 🙂
But the hint specular makes sense now.
I like it. I like the idea of a series — Reflections. That’s very creative dada. That concept would allow for all sorts of intriguing and interesting captures, like pools of water etc. Cool!
Thank you! :*
This one is getting hard to navigate… Pretty please?
New Lounge is open.
