May the 4’s be with you
The other place was getting crowded, but it’s okay — I was sick of ice cream anyway.
Just in time Izzy. I was about to have to put on my football helmet. 🙂
You were gonna have to if you kept on about the Lennon sisters!
Well between Chester on Gunsmoke, the Lennon Sisters and crawling around in dirt……
I’ve have 29 shots of whatever is handy.
I’ve brought my water droplet along, hope you don’t mind. Both of us are a little lonely today.
Oh yea SN, I really do like this picture.
Olivia is right. It’s like the bottom drop is a little world.
I have about 50 pictures of these drops, cropped in different ways. When I isolate it too much it loses sharpness.
I’m really thirsty now…I need some ice water.
Like a tiny jewelled world nestled on a leaf.
Ok, on the eve of your birthday you have to decide if you’re a photographer or a poet. sheesh. 🙂
SN, Olivia is one of those multi-talented people.
I’m so damn envious. 🙂
the little guy at the top-center of the frame.
Cool pix SN!
Oh yeah, I see his flat little ass now that I look hard enough!
hard enough, I may even do a few tricks.
That’s a cool picture Manny. I saw something on Discovery about the technique they use to take a picture like that.
could take credit for the great photography. I guess you’ll have to settle for my google image search skills instead 🙂
I’ll settle for that anytime. It’s a talent I wish I could emulate.
If you’re up for yet another Petals for Peace poster for day 3, here’s a Saguaro Flower for your contemplation…
Put the next one(?) up on TinyPic…FREE HOSTING…and save me some work…will ya?…whew! :{)
Peace
I’m just trying to keep you occupied so you don’t do something drastic like join the Sovereign Sons of Southern Slothful Slacking Society.
Now wait a minute!
I start one little thing and people are copying me now. My god what has this country come to.
Anyway I would never join them. Too many rednecks.
My thing is peace, love everything and everyone. But most especially me.
Sorry dada, lost me on that one.
Scotty Mc. resigned today, and that sounded like one of his obfuscations during the WH press briefings, thought maybe the Sons of Soulful Stuff had hired him as spokesman…no offense…Rt. brain snark’s not always effective…:{)
Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with things today.
No offense ever taken dada. I’m just in a fog from the heat.
Great organization you mentioned there, Manny! Where do I sign up? Or do I have to get approval from Family Man first?
You’re already in my club. I’ve seen some slacking on your part from time to time.

Cool. I like the color of it.
It’s looks like the Grinch dressed up like Santa.
A coupla neat ones from flickr (not mine!)

water drop scrabble
I’m glad you brought it along. That thread was getting a little big and slow.
Art Glass pieces I’ve seen…tasty!
Lisa Simpson’s science project from a few years ago… when she became goddess of the world created by pouring Coke on a tooth to see what would happen.
and taking advantage of the light created by a fallen tree.
I swear I can smell those woods coming to life, Andi.
Cool pic, as always Andi… have you ever really seen a May Apple fruit? I know what the plants look like, but I have never seen the fruit, even though they supposedly exist and are ostensibly edible.
Only the mature plants (which have double leaf stalks) produce flowers and fruit. I admit I’ve never paid any attention to the fruit but I think the deer do.
but I think it’s AWESOME!
How ya doing today oh Sly Grand Poobah of Grizzled Geezerhood?
I’m trying to hang in there. It looks like the part for the AC hasn’t come in and my room thermometer says it’s 88F. Humidity is is close to 60%.
Might be time for nude blogging. Just be sure to put a towel down first.
If there was no one here, I would be sticthless right now.
some Good ol’ ‘Merican swim wear…stars and stripes forever!
Google never ceases to amuse me…:{)
LOL, it would take half a years rayon crop to make one for me. 🙂
Ok, they’re hideous, but I’m oddly drawn to that last one. I’m just sayin…
And why would that be?
if it is true that horizontal stripes make everything look bigger.
Sadly, no. But I can dream. And I’m feeling very patriotic suddenly.
I can be very patriotic too.
I was feeling so bloated that day, that’s why I put my hands in front of my stomach like that.
I thought you were forming a heart to show everyone you loved them.
You start talking bloat and you’re getting near the PMS thing. I ain’t going near that.
As hot as it is my football helmet is on.
maybe it’s just me, but I find flag-wear the antithesis of sexy.
http://www.funkyboutique.com/usa.html
See?
It’s certainly an acquired taste. I mean where do you hide your handgun and NRA ID card?
The only flag-wear I own is Union Jack shorts and that’s because I’ve been a Def Leppard fangirl since I was 12. Feel free to mock me for that. 🙂
Would I mock you? I mean, I found out today that of the two of us, I dress more like a man.
imo, gender is never mockworthy.
I meant about being a cheesy hair metal fan, such as I am. 🙂 Roomie let me know my bday present early and I am so excited I can barely sit still — she’s paid an obscene amount of money to get us 8th row tix to see the Def Leppard/Journey show in Cincy in late July. SQUEE! ::shoots Ozzy fingers::
OMG! What are you going to wear?
I don’t know but if Joe Elliott shows the barest hint of pulling me up on stage, I’ll gladly take it off.
okay, I’ll bite (but since I’m old and my teeth are worn it won’t hurt and besides I’ll be very careful about where) — why is gender never mockworthy?
I think that mostly because of gender oppression/inequality, and the horrific bigotry against the non-traditionally gendered. Though I probably should’ve said “almost never” as I’m not an absolutist and there are almost certainly contexts where one could mock someone’s gender and it could still be funny, particularly in private among trusted friends, I’d guess.
That said, that’s a weird question coming from you. Are you making a joke that I’m just too slow today to get, or did we have another one of those things where we’re using the same words to mean slightly different things?
Well I was thinking in terms of things like MRA or IWF notions of gender definition and culturally approved gender-based behavior(as in “ladies don’t that”) rather than one’s self-identified gender, which I would agree shouldn’t be mocked.
But yes it was a sort of ‘is nothing sacred’ joke.
Okay, I get that. Sorry for being dense. I really am slow these days, my thyroid is dragging and the exhaustion is pushing me to my limits.
I was trying to stimulate one of your patented theory-fests. I should have realized this wasn’t a good time for one.
But the problem is that I have nothing to say about Def Leppard and Journey. 🙂
OMG, the roomie rocks! Have you seen them before?
There she is! Glad you could join us. 🙂
Have you been looking for me? I had to take a nap…
She so does rock.
I have never seen Journey (who I’ve loved since I was 11) and there’s a weird thing with Def Leppard where I’ve been to the show 4 times but never seen the whole thing. Something always happens and I have to leave. I’ve already told Roomie we’ll be burning candles or chanting incantations or whatever it takes to ward off the curse, lol.
So, how are you, how’s school, how’re the kids?
I think I’ve seen DL before. I’m hoping you get to stay for the hole thing this time!
I’m good. Spring is here, school os crawling to a close (I skipped class Monday night to go to CBtY’s first lacrosse game of the season), and I think the guys are ready for the end of the school year. Unfortunately, that’s still about 8 weeks away.
When do you take off for Cincy? I know it’s soon.
We pushed it off a week so Roomie could fly back and drive with me. The moving van comes May 5th. I think we’ll actually be ready. ::crosses fingers::
Yay for skipping class to go watch the kid play sports. Good Mom, have a martini! 🙂
I love DL — one of my first concerts! 8 rows back woo hoo!
I really am about 14 right now, lol.
That was a wonderful thing for roomie to do Indy! We can all share in you delightful squeals too. 🙂
Me likee!
I’ve O skills at comp graphics…but…what if the text above and below ‘stacked’ in alignment with the L and R edges of the photo…conceptually thus:

Too much art direction…eh?
Hi folks. I am at Ruta Mya for a fund raiser for Glenn Maxey as Texas Democratic Party Chairperson. I will be here for part of the speeches and then will leave to head to another event. I will let you know more as things get going in a few. I am actually going to find my blog entry about my supporting Glen and possibly read it as a speech myself. LOL I guess I really do need to get a camera for these events. That will be the next gadget. LOL
Hellooooo Refinish.
Enjoy yourself and yes you do need to get a camera.
OK who’s around?
Has my message of slackdom spread out onto the entire net?
I’m around. I’m listening to the Indians game on the net.
Good who’s winning?
The Tribe 6 – 3. They’re off to a great start this year.
Are you listening or watching?
I can do both, but I’m listening to the Indians radio announcers because I’ve always liked them and they’re more exciting.
Yea I was flipping channels and stopped on the game to see what you were talking about.
I’m glad you like baseball, but it’s not curling.
right here under the master.
I have hight hopes for you NDD.
You have great potential in slackdom.
Are you near Jamestown, ND? The Indian’s DH, Travis Hafner is from there.
How’s Hafner doing? I’ve heard he’s off to a great start on the season, but I have not seen him play yet this year.
He’s hitting about 400 right now.
I might have to start watching baseball.
Oh, sorry. For a while there I was too lazy to answer.
Ah, my message is being heard.
Uhmmmm lazy.
I was just reading about middle aged people and their satisfaction with their sex lives.
Um, if 3/4 of men are satisfied and only 2/3 of women are satisfied, are they having sex with each other? Are the women faking it? I must think about this at length. Long length. Long, thick length…oh, nevermind.
LOL. That’s the SN I know.
🙂
Oliviaaaaaaaa
How did your day go today? I hope better than yesterday.
The opp of yesterday. How ’bout yours — I read a little bit about it on your blog just a while ago.
Cool down any?
It’s OK, but still no AC. It’s been pretty miserable all day. Even George is to hot to yap.
Set ’em up, bartender, I’ve had a bad day, and now I find out that there’s no Lost on tonight. There’s some Alian show or some such on instead. What to do?
Lost isn’t on?!
No and it’s pissing me off.
Who are they idots that run the networks.
Is it the two-hour Alias that’s on instead?
Yep.
I saw earlier that Lost wasn’t on and kept wondering how they expect to keep their fan base if they keep doing stuff like this.
You could watch America’s Next Top Model!
and vent there so we can properly give you some love — cafe therapy is strong stuff…
Hey iamcoyote. Come over to the new cafe.
Free drinks for someone who has had a bad day and mourns lost.
It’s filling up quick in here. I’ll go put a new thread up.
Hey, y’all. I opened a new cafe. I’ve gotta go eat, but I’ll see you soon.
