EEEEEE! That was frightening with the dial-up I’m on at work-a dog nose getting bigger and bigger and taking up the entire screen!!!
I’m wishing for a love I can understand, connection of all sorts with other humans, and balance and harmony in loving relationships. And more earrings.
More earrings is the easiest of all of those! And the cafe is a great place for connecting. As for a love you can understand…if you figure it out let me know.
She is a champion licker, as well as all around drooler. Claritin has helped alot. She’s a lovey, that’s for sure. She’s already convinced I’m her mama.
Bud was also a horrible addition the first few days, he howled and cried nonstop. I think it’s because of their intense loyalty to those they feel comfortable around, so when he was separated from his parents (my uncle owns them), he was a wreck. He got over it though, and is the best compadre anyone could ask for, I love this breed.
SHe’s a doll, but housebreaking is proving to be a small stumbling block. Good thing I didn’t get that new carpeting I’ve been bugging the Mr. for. Do you know how long the females stay in heat? The previous owner said it was over, but it’s not and I can’t get her spayed until it is.
Where did you get the replacement danish (or whatever) recliner? I want to sell Mr. Nature’s enourmous lazyboy next time he’s gone and replace it with one of those. Think he’ll mind?
Ha, I’ll never cease to be amazed at how dogs will find the most uncomfortable looking position and yet be in total bliss. Look at how Hopeful is hanging off his couch. (Sniff is watching you with one eye to see how long the nap interruption is going to last)
we have the wood stove sitting on a slightly raised brick platform and the dogs will sleep with their bodies on their dogs beds and their heads on the bricks.
Sorry for the mild profanity, but just had some stunning news.
Many of you may be aware that Real Life has been biting this household square in the butt the past several months — the spouse has been off work, technically terminated but the union has been working on his behalf.
Well, he just turned on his cell phone and had a voice mail message to call the union office; it looks like he may actually get his freakin’ job back without going through a formal grievance hearing!!!
Those of you of a spiritual sort, please bombard your deity of choice that this develops as positively as it appears to be heading.
Now I just need to get the spouse to get off the damn computer at a reasonable hour of evening…
He reports on Monday for a routine drug test (just to be on the safe side — hmmm, I’ll need to update his list of medications that he keeps in his wallet), and probably a day or two of retraining.
That gives us the rest of the week to get this disaster area in a semblance of order — now that I’ve got the living room halfway decent, next is the dining area, then bedroom.
I’m a little nervous…I really want him to be back at work, because what little routine we had has gone to hell in a handbasket over the past several months…
The focus was a bit out… but.. DAMN… Ann Wright took that photo… IMAGINE!!! 🙂
and thanks Second 🙂 Not hot… I was just blushing. I had just accidentally thanked Ray McGovern of “having the balls to stand up for us all”… ACK but all laughed and all was fine. I had spent most of my day listening to veterans worst stories… it had ebbn a long and emotional day for me. The night time speakers I got to go hear and was waiting for Katie and Ann to drive us to our car. So I got to hang around and meet some others who done the workshops. Like Ray. 🙂
I was looking at the pix from the memorial and it reminded me of the one they had in Beirut on Sunday night – almost 1000 luminarias softly glowing, one for each civilian that was killed in the past 33 days.
Just got through showing my b-i-l how to print some pictures and how to delete the ones on his camera card. My sister had put his instruction book somewhere and we couldn’t find it. It took me forever to figure out how to delete. Still haven’t figured out the date thing yet.
drive ins or motels are NOT dates… well at least not first ones and not if you wanted another date… or be seen in public with your date. 🙂
I saw a recipe in one of my cookerybookery for making your own ice cream… thought of you and George.
But seriously. as to the manauls and instructions… my washer machine was acting possessed and I couldn’t find the box (just re-moved to the house) and bingo bango… I goolged the make and model with “manual” and it was there.
If he can’t find the manual I go over tomorrow and show him how to google for it. He just bought the camera and they’ve had the computer for over 2 years, but it’s like they hardly know a thing. I sort of sympathize with him because I remember my first digital and learning.
The Dew Drop Inn is a very nice place. Jukebox, pool table and all the trapping of high class. 🙂
Just checking in even though I said I would only check in on Sundays. Liar liar! This is Banjo doing his rolling around on the rug being super-cute routine.
Actually my “women’s intermission” (Archie Bunker) warned me to get on the plane the day before, otherwise, like some others who were scheduled to attend the meeting, I would never have made it. One woman said she waited in line at LAX for 2.5 hours on Thursday morning, the day of the meeting, and it would have taken her another two hours to get to the front of the line, and she had already missed her flight so she gave up.
Such bullshit. Such utter, total bullshit. What makes THEM (the neo-conmen) think they can get away with it?
Lovely the way the MSM just falls in line, regurgitates the party line, and marches in step to do the neo-conman fear-monger’s bidding. And airlines are the best place to do it since most people are scared shitless to fly in the first place. Not to mention… well we won’t go into any conspiracy theories here. Someday you will thank me for that. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
What are you wishing for?
Does this make my nose look big?
EEEEEE! That was frightening with the dial-up I’m on at work-a dog nose getting bigger and bigger and taking up the entire screen!!!
I’m wishing for a love I can understand, connection of all sorts with other humans, and balance and harmony in loving relationships. And more earrings.

I’m wishing for broadband, gawddamnit.

Scary Basset-Hound Eye Blogging
I’ve given up fixing you up with my daughter (that damn longterm boyfriend of hers) and now we must get Bud and Hopeful together.
reading that your attempts to “woo” me were supplanted for the next best thing 🙂
Luv the name, mind if I call her Esperanza? We can teach her to be bilingual like Bud
That’s cool – I like that. I stole Andi’s name of Hopeful, though her Hopeful is a boy so I think it’s okay.
Bud was also a horrible addition the first few days, he howled and cried nonstop. I think it’s because of their intense loyalty to those they feel comfortable around, so when he was separated from his parents (my uncle owns them), he was a wreck. He got over it though, and is the best compadre anyone could ask for, I love this breed.

on the cycles, maybe keres could help you out with more info?
Bud was a fast learner, but it was because we already had a dog who was housetrained so he just followed her lead. Hope things get better!
and dogbuddy
looks like another exciting day at the Fs.
They look so peaceful and content, and your house looks very very clean.
Where did you get the replacement danish (or whatever) recliner? I want to sell Mr. Nature’s enourmous lazyboy next time he’s gone and replace it with one of those. Think he’ll mind?
We got it at a local furniture store but it’s made by a company called Palliser
I took a picture and will email you it to you as soon as I get it loaded and resized.

More puppy pics please. No puppy poo pics though. 🙂

Yay! I’ll keep everything I possibly can crossed for you.
Great news Cali. I’ll keep hoping for ya.
All together now:
“Well you can’t scare me
I’m stickin’ with the union…”
you quote Woody Guthrie!!! (((xoxox)))))
I’ll be spitting over my left shoulder to chase the Evil Eye away.
Hey Andi…WHOA, why’d you spit on me? Remind me to approach on your right side next time.
{{{Cali}}}
the cafe from going moribund?
Did you? 🙂
doin’ by bit
Try harder. How about some slug or turtle sex?
I think you should supply the porn.
Hopeful, Jr’s lady bits are swollen and so are her nipples. Would that work?
obscene but I know when I see it.

Excellent!
I find getting one’s spouse out of the house to be quite relaxing — Jim goes back to school tomorrow after his summer off. No tears from me.
Poor Mr. Nature, just got back from a week in Boston and already I’m asking him where and when he’s going next. Looks like France in 3 weeks.
but that’s fanfuckingtastic ((((CaliScribes!!))))
Me with Ray McGovern. Dig his t-shirt 🙂
I was gonna say you’re one hot bitch but was afraid you’d take it the wrong way. Ray’s handsome as well!
and very real. I’m so glad he’s on our path.
The focus was a bit out… but.. DAMN… Ann Wright took that photo… IMAGINE!!! 🙂

The CodePink delegates finally got out of Beirut and are headed abck to DC. WHEW!
Anyody around?
Just got through showing my b-i-l how to print some pictures and how to delete the ones on his camera card. My sister had put his instruction book somewhere and we couldn’t find it. It took me forever to figure out how to delete. Still haven’t figured out the date thing yet.
I can’t help with the camera… although you should be able to google the manual/instructions easily… but I could help you in the date department. 🙂
Just go up and ask the lady, “would you like to go out for some ice cream with me?” 🙂
I decided to let him figure out some of the things for awhile. Don’t want to give out to many secrets yet.
As far as the date thing. You forget where I’m from. It would be more in the form of “would you like to go to the Dew Drop Inn?” 😛
Can’t use the drive-in since it has been gone for about 30 years.
drive ins or motels are NOT dates… well at least not first ones and not if you wanted another date… or be seen in public with your date. 🙂
I saw a recipe in one of my cookerybookery for making your own ice cream… thought of you and George.

If you come across a good recipe let me know.
Demanding equal time!
Just checking in even though I said I would only check in on Sundays. Liar liar! This is Banjo doing his rolling around on the rug being super-cute routine.
Hi MM. Banjo can have all the equal time. I want to slack like that. 🙂
Pooties are truly the slack-meisters of the universe!
I have a long road to travel to become one with the slacker cat. 🙂
I would give anything for their secret sleep formula.
I think they exist on a different plane from us and only grace us with their attention every now and then. The rest of the time they look asleep. 🙂
Ohhhhhhh Banjo!!!! He is just hollering for some lovin’!!!
How are you doing MM? saw the rental you had the other day… Niiiiiiiiiiiice. 🙂 But so sorry you had to fly on Fearoganda day…
I’m doing great, DJ! Six o’clock and all is well.

Such bullshit. Such utter, total bullshit. What makes THEM (the neo-conmen) think they can get away with it?
I know… it’s a total crock of shit. I think soon we’ll be seeing the hokey pokey airlines.
You do the hokey pokey then you pour baby’s bottle out…
That’s what ruling by fear’s all about.
So many speakers were late for the convention, too. Cindy Sheehan collapsed when she finally got there, too.
Lovely the way the MSM just falls in line, regurgitates the party line, and marches in step to do the neo-conman fear-monger’s bidding. And airlines are the best place to do it since most people are scared shitless to fly in the first place. Not to mention… well we won’t go into any conspiracy theories here. Someday you will thank me for that. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
I’m wondering
What you’ve got to do to get a beer around here.
iBong
I like it. Of course that shows pouring a can in there. I much prefer a keg, less wait. 🙂
Sorry, FM, real life intruded. I’ll put something up just for you. 🙂
I wasn’t trying to hint or anything.
I was more wanting to put up my beer picture with the frog on it.
Not hint, yeah sure. 🙂
Just for you – a new lounge.
Thanks SN. Now I feel embarrassed. 🙂
You should.
