Forget those cubicles, forget every problem you have, because it’s Thursday Sail Away Day.
George is ready to take your orders. Everyone Enjoy.
George is dashing! He looks like Gopher on Love Boat. Can I be cruise director, Julie McCoy? Course there’s the small problem of getting horrendously seasick to contend with, but I’d like to be that sickenly perky just once in my life.
Can you be luscious and perky at the same time.
You got the job. 😉
Perky? Perky! ::makes sign of the cross even though it doesn’t work for Jews::
Not that. Anything but that.
Hey a luscious and perky SN is just what would get this cruise going. Although to where, I’m not sure.
I just want to try it out to see what it feels like.
Oh all right. If you want to be a 14 year old named Suzee who practices giving parade waves, who am I stop you? Just warn me first so I can stay far enough away not to catch any cooties.
oh, alright – can I at least have perky boobs?
Sure but did you want them with or without the assistance of a wonderbra (because w/o requires the outlay of a lot more cash)?
You can be as perky as you want on this cruise.
I however, look ridiculous in these shorts and knee socks. 😉
Is it the knobby knees or the hairy legs?
Both of course.
Heh heh. Our granddaughter always seems to be the one in charge on the playground. We call her Your Cruise Director. Most people our age get the joke.
It’s one of those, you had to be there at the time things. I’ll be flipping channel and see a rerun and can’t even bear to watch it now.
My youngest sister would actually fight to be able to watch Love Boat. I have no idea what she saw in the show. Basically, it was cotton candy for the mind.
Well I hate to admit this, but back then I did watch it some, just a little bit mind you, not more than 2 or 3 seasons.
Only until you needed glasses, right?
Mostly I kept to myself while all that was going on. I was still living with my parents (and her) at the time but didn’t venture up for TV much that I remember, except for a brief period in late 1981 when I was training myself for a graveyard shift at a local radio station by staying up an hour later every night and getting up an hour later every day. I tell you, you think TV is a wasteland now, it was positively sepulchral on Sunday nights/Monday mornings in 1981. I’d find myself watching sports I didn’t care about on ESPN at 2 in the morning just because there was literally nothing else watchable on.
Omir you’re talking to a guy here that had one channel. It wasn’t what you wanted to watch, it’s whatever was on. Heck I still remember enjoying Lawrence Welk.
And who could forget Myron Floren on the accordion?
AHHHHH!!!! and the Lennon sisters!!!!
can resist a guy in a uniform?
Especially with a face like that.
You and George are wonderful … I really needed this today. Thank you!
When I told him this picture was for Olivia, he didn’t hesitate to get into uniform.
Wouldn’t put the little hat on though. 🙂
Did you feel me holding your hand during the game? And hear me whimpering?
I can send George to help out. He can get them with his peg leg or hit em with his hook.
I’m sure he’d play infinitely better than any of the bums we’ve got in the line-up right now …
George rocks!
George thinks you rock too and he’s looking very smug with himself right now. 🙂
I think he’s gone down to the galley and opened one of the kegs already.
I always find the sound of flowing water soothing.
creek 5/11/2006 after an all day downpour
That looks beautiful and lush and fertile. Just like me at twenty. A little too fertile as it turned out.
You see beautiful and lush and fertile. I see and hear running water. For a man my age, that not a good thing.
LOL!
Next I’ll take a picture after we’ve gone a week w/o rain and it’s down to a dribble and that can be just like me. 😉
I should go back and look up who tells it. He was talking about an octogenarian legislator on (I think) Prince Edward Island who was pushing to get a bridge built across a gorge. His opposition was saying that the proposed bridge was too long and too expensive.
“No, it’s nothing of the kind,” our hero said. “It’s not all that far. I could piss halfway across that gorge.”
This of course sent the legislature into an uproar, with their equivalent of the Speaker of the House banging the gavel. “Sir!” he admonished. “You are out of order!”
“Don’t I know it at my age,” he replied, “and I wasn’t out of order I could piss all the way across it.”
LOL Omir.
Me too! It’s my favorite sound! (And lovely photo. Yup. Lovely.)
When we travel on vacation, I’m always looking for places to stay that are right on rivers.
(Thanks)
It’s needed today, b/c I really feel like punching something … or barfing …
Hey, what’s wrong, kiddo?
tonight … :/
I was thinking about using my entire tax refund to buy some formal attire and a pirate suit for my cat, but my wife talked me out of it. It makes sense for her to try to dissuade me, because most of the money is hers, we’re kind of broke and my cat is a mean old alley cat who would probably just claw my eyes out if I ever tried to get her in to a pirate suit. Nevertheless, seeing George in his sailor suit has got me thinking I was right all along.
Hi Chris. Through the magic of a photo program George is in that suit. He’s already let me know one time what he thinks of clothing. Didn’t want to push it again.
Mean old alley cats. I’ve got two cats and just getting them into a cage to get to the vets is a full padded, full body protection experience.
You know my cat is fat and luscious and as sweet as brown sugar – but I caught her mid-yawn yesterday and the result scared me.
Isabelly is laughing. What are you scared about?
Cats are still so close to the wild, it’s easy to see the predator there when you see the fangs.
I’d hate to be a mouse in those jaws!
In fact, I’d hate to be a mouse generally.
I would probably need a suit of armor if I were going to actually try it. She’s a sweet cat, but totally homicidal at the same time. She really is a nasty old alley cat that I brought in a few years ago and she’s still a little more than just a little feral.
Tell your wife the cat is actually a Pastafarian cleric and he needs that pirate suit for the performance of his official duties.
Well, I guess it makes as much sense as putting a cat in a pirate suit in the first place. Apparently, especially if it’s that cat.
Not a bad Idea. We’ve all been touched by His noodly appendage in our own way. I’ll definately bring that up tonight. I’m sure it will sway her to my side.
Cormorants overlooking Monterey Bay.
I’m having trouble posting today for some reason. It’s very very slow. Must be something in the air! Grrrr.
Hi MM. That’s a wonderful shot.
Have you tried just rebooting your computer. Sometime when I have trouble, I do that and it works.
I switched over to firefox from safari and that seems to help for some unknown reason. How,s the iPod project coming along? Any tornado sightings? I saw the mess that was made in Texas yesterday.
I had it go slow with firefox before, but I’ve have multiple sites and document and photo programs open. I have to learn to cut back.
The ipod is going great. Just taking a long time to load up everything. I’ve got about 25 more cd’s to do.
We had a tornado touch down about 17-20 miles from here yesterday, but no damage. All in a open place. It’s nice and sunny out today.
How’s things in the big city.
A tornado touchdown! Could you see or hear it?
Once I was traveling across country with a friend in the 1970s and one night in Oklahoma we pulled over at a rest stop. I was so tired from driving that I fell asleep on a picnic table, and when I woke up I could see a tornado. I’m not sure how close it was, probably about 10 miles away, but believe it or not I just rolled over and went back to sleep on the picnic table! And me with chronic lifelong insomnia…
Too bad the iPod is taking so long, but in the end it will be totally worth it. I have a mini-pod that my son gave me for Christmas and have practically worn it out… just kidding, i think those things last forever.
or resetting safari. Reset will also clear all the cookies, so you may have to re-log in…or just clear cache, open security preferences, and clear out cookies you don’t want manually.
Thanks I’ll give it a try, dada.
If you see this message, it’s thanks to your helpful suggestion!
Hi MM. I’m glad you posted an ocean picture. I’d been missing them.
What are you up to, today? Any mischief on the agenda?
here in the cafe. I should be working but I’m having a slight brain fade so I’m taking an extended break till 2:00. Nine minutes to go.
Oops! I may have missed those last 9 minutes. If so, catch you later. I was busy developing a proposal for some contract work with a non-profit. Seems like the job and consulting business are both in the works now.
Sounds good, mythmother! I’ve been way out of the pond-loop lately; hope these developments are as positive as they seem. If so, I’m very pleased for you!
Thanks for your good wishes! Yes, it seems things are moving along and there’s life after the Monterey Peninsula. Even though I miss it and wish I could get into my car right now and drive up there just to take some more pictures.
What’s new in your little life (as my mother would say — what a character, but that’s another whole story…)?
Good to hear confirmation that all’s progressing as it should. I’m sure you’ll make it back to your beloved beaches soon.
As for me, my little life seems to be stretching a bit, toward new environs. I’m closing up shop where I’m at & moving on. This definitely seems to be the season for it — if not the year!
Gotta run at the moment, but I didn’t want to vamoose before responding.
Catch you later ..
with a surf-casting rig and a couple weeks supply of an appropriate beverage, and I’ll be a happy camper
Cabo…clik to enlarge
Nice shot, dada! Where was this taken? Looks alot like the Monterey coast.
off the East Cape Road on the Gulf side. It’s the beach, at nearly high tide, at the 1st house I did down there.
Very nice place, not over developed (yet). Although, unlike Monterey, it’s a desert.
Sure dada. The couple weeks supply of appropriate beverages can do. The surf-casting rig – you’re speaking to a land lubber.
are large, heavy-duty versions of yer basic spin cast set-up
you can catch some very big fish with them, and it’s a real slackers sport, as once you’ve cast, you stick the tail of the pole in the sand and ‘watch’…
Recommended, if you’re near an ocean…try it.
That certainly sounds like my kind of sport.
You say, once you’ve cast, you stick the tail of the pole in the sand and ‘watch’…
Also while consuming beverages. I can do this.
Beach recliner, umbrella, multiple coolers and maybe George with a palm fan. I think I can do that.
That looks wonderful … <sigh>
I’ll have George set up an extra umbrella and chair immediately.
Be careful though. George said we’re off the ship and on the beach now, and I tried to talk him out of it and he wouldn’t listen, but he’s in a speedo now.
To graphic for pictures. 🙂
we’ll bring lots of sun screen so you don’t end up looking like this:
You pale ‘canadians’ gotta be careful.
How you doin? (Bummer last night.)
Think they’ll put Hasek in net tonight? If for no other reason than to save Emery the humiliation of being swept…:{(
It’s true in RL — I’m fairer, so always burn. And then I get freckles. (Sorry, but I don’t like them :P)I’m not doing well. I feel mean and grumpy today.
The Sens slogan, Rev up the Red (and how stupid is that) has been changed tonight to Rev up the Dead … :/
They said that they’re starting Emery. And so what if they win tonight, which they won’t. Only 2 teams in hx have come back to win 4 straight.
How are you?
Just a case of the grumpy gremlins?
It’s just the end of my hockey hopes and dreams when the Sens are crushed tonight in 4 straight. It’s been pretty dreary here today…
Hey, no problem. This is the place to be when you need shoulders to cry on. I wish I could think of something to cheer you up, but I think it will just take time to get over. Isn’t it happy hour there yet? How about a couple of margaritas?
Probably not red-headed or green eyed either…I’m crushed.
If it gets too bad, we’ll send in the Second Line and make a party of it.
Remember, “it ain’t over till it’s over”…:{)
I limit the number of freckles by not going out in the sun. I’d turn into one giant freckle if I sat out sunbathing … well first I’d turn into a lobster and then a freckle. 🙂 And as for eyes, well I have blue-green. They change colour depending on my mood etc.
It was over for this bunch when the p-offs started … they haven’t got the mental toughness or something.
Hey there, folks — just steppin’ in again to indulge in a little lewd, rude & crewed language.
Since we last met, I’ve been looking for a screw.
Actually, a bolt. 50 of ’em.
Anyone here ever deal with boltdepot.com? They specialize in fasteners of all types. Their website’s pretty fastenating, actually.
I’ve checked with each of our local hardware outlets & none of them can quite deliver what I’m after. Bolt Depot’s got ’em, though — in great, oozing, pulsating buckets.
Any opinions on their services? Tales of woe?
Thanks in advance.
You’re looking incredibly sexy today, by the way.
Oozing, pulsating buckets of bolts? You do have the soul of a poet, WW.
Could be — though what I’d rather have now is the soul of a carpenter.
Used to live with a man who was both. Alas, he’s passed over & is no longer manning his tools.
All this talk of tools, < dizzy > intoxicating.
It’s definitely my pleasure lately.
🙂
WW I wish I could help, but I’m the type that even for a simple fix-it job, I have to make at least 8 trips to the hardware store.
I hear you, FM. That’s just what I’m trying to avoid this time.
As I already knew, a very wise woman.
Not incredibly wise, I’m afraid. I’m just not crazy about driving all over creation looking for a .. bolt.
Hey there, NDD! Good to see you!
I’m looking for 5/16 carriage bolts, 4″. Also some 3″ lag bolts. I’ve checked with each of our local hardware stores; longest they’ve got are under 2″.
Don’t know about there, but the places that have lumber here have them that size. Just bought some 1/2″ carriage bolts at 6&7″ lengths.
So lumber yards, farm supply stores (farmers are always using stuff like this for projects)
Thanks, NDD. I’ll continue checking out what’s available here. So far no luck & as I say, I don’t really have the time to travel hither & yon in search.
When I found Bolt Depot I thought I’d hit gold. They’re a former family-owned hardware outlet displaced by a Loew’s; now their entire business is OL. I’m shy of doing OL business unless I’m familar with the company and/or I’ve done so before — ergo I was asking about it here.
In any case, my computer seems to be experiencing inner turmoil. Gotta reboot, then kick up the woodstove. I shall return.
Computer difficulties occurring anon. Signing off, back later.
I like the idea of that sailboat. Just let me come aboard with the radio equipment, and you can call me “Sparks” (the term for the ship’s radio operator back in the earliest days of shipboard radio).
As long as I’ve got a hammock and as dada says, appropriate beverage, I’m good.
But Sparks you’re the man for the job. 😉
Hoist me up a keg of Cherry 7-Up Plus and I’m good to go. Aye matey!
Cool, we now have a radio operator. We’ll bring aboard a couple of kegs of Cherry 7-Up Plus.
Well, it’s a very important job. I mean, once we run aground on that desert island, who else is going to have the skill and technical know-how to send out messages saying WE’RE MAROONED, DON’T BOTHER RESCUING US BUT SEND MORE RUM ?
I’ve got to run downtown for a minute. I’ll be back very shortly.
Time to sail away to calmer waters.
