May the 4’s nap with you
Is it naptime yet?
It’s almost naptime for me.
Morning, Andi.
Been out on poop patrol?
How did you guess? I got the world’s greatest poop snatcher yesterday – a scary looking black clawlike thing that snaps it up and I can fling the poop to the farthest reaches (near my neighbor’s house:) of my back yard.
Isn’t this the neighbor that lets their dog poop in your yard. If so, I’d fling all the way into their yard.
No, this is the nice neighbor with the two extremely obedient and large dogs who always poop on the property line between our two houses. I figured my dog’s poop could just blend in with theirs.
So why aren’t you flinging it toward the not nice neighbor?
I just thought, you could be a youtube star with dog poop flinging. 😉
Wow, such reckless extravagance. You know, you could just buy 40 acres and not worry about where the dogs go.
I guess I could do that. But since I need things like Starbucks and shopping malls and Italian restaurants and there are no more undeveloped lots in the city, that’s pretty unlikely. So I will just enjoy the heck out of my poop-flinging.
Hey, the nearest starbucks is a mere 13 miles away.
wouldn’t a small covered trash can be better so you don’t have a mountain of dog poo in the back yard?
I thought about that, but I’m spreading it out so it decomposes rather than having the trash guys pass out when they pick up a bag of crap.
depending on how big the dog and the yard, you might want to get the garbage can. You can always use bags. LOL
I’m guessing it wouldn’t be as much fun as flinging it at the neighbors.
Morning Refinish.
Good morning Andi and SN.
Who takes naps on such a beautiful day?
Um…you?
Good point.
I’m thinking of making grits this morning for myself, before I go back to bed of course.
What’s your secret recipe? No cheese, please.
Instant grits always works for me. Grits for breakfast huh. Pretty soon you’ll be saying ya’ll without even thinking about it. 🙂
Don’t say that, FM. I’ve instructed my family to shoot me on sight at the first utterance of ya’ll or fixin to.
Ya’ll and fixin are two words ingrained into my soul. When I was first out in California I would say I’m fixin to go and do something. I was always asked, what are you fixing? I would just give a ho hum and go on. 🙂
I can’t count the number of times the Mr. has said ‘parkin’ this past week. Parkin lot. Parkin pass. Two things you southerners need to remember – the war is over and you lost and the letter G.
Yes your right SN.
I’ve tried to teach the family to say use guys, but they just won’t learn. 😛
FM, FM, FM – it’s “you guys” and everyone under the age of 53 says it, even down here. It just goes to show you how old you really are.
SN, SN, SN – You young-uns never learn. So I guess when you hit the big 53, you start speaking correct English and say ya’ll?
You know what I’ve noticed about servers down here? So many of them say “not a problem” when you make a request. Like when they ask you if you want dessert and you say no thanks they come back with ‘not a problem.’ Of course it’s not a problem! WTF.
Why do I see a southern rant coming up.
Helmet on. 🙂
and have a decided southern accent, you’ll know you’ve met one of those rare Southern Sephardic Jews™
Would it be better if they said no problem sugar? ROTFLMAO!!!
Beatiful there maybe but it’s raining and muggy here.
It’s just warm and muggy and buggy here. No rain. In fact, no rain for the past month or so.
I could use some of Andi’s rain and it kind of pleasant outside at the moment.
In keeping with the theme of the cafe, this is a very lackadaisical rain — you could easily avoid getting wet by walking between the drops.
My kind of rain.
I’m fixin to make me some oatmeal and start working on some designs. LOL Morning ANdi, FamilyMan and Second Nature!!!!
Morning again Refinish. You’re loosing your dialect. You put the G at the end of workin. 🙂
LOL I actually can control my southern accent and lose it completely when needed. I just like it and consider it part of who I am.
Good morning to you. What executive activities do you have on tap today?
LOL Not a lot. Just working on some designs and doing housework.
Yellow Dog Democrat
Cool design Refinish. I clicked in to view a larger image, but it wouldn’t come up. Don’t know if there’s something wrong on my side.
It should take you to my site not to a larger view. LOL
It did take me to your site and I just reclicked and the larger view came up this time. I must of have too much stuff open on my computer.
I’ve finally hooked up the coolest thing. A long time ago I got one of those little video cameras for the carport so FMom could just hit a button on the tv and see who’s outside. I just hooked it up to my computer and I’m watching the carport. Of course nothing is going on, but I can see and hear out there. Yep there’s plenty of excitement in the country. 🙂
LOL I guess the carport can be exciting when all the family is showing up or the critters come begging.
Actually I hooked it up because I leave Tom’s food out there and my brother ran into a big possum last night munching on cat food. I think it scared both of them a little bit. 🙂
Watching the carport sounds very exciting, FM. Maybe you could watch Tom impregnating another unsuspecting feline. I’m sure there’s a market for porn like htat.
Is anyone else having a super-sized ad margin issue going on? All of the sudden the ad margin has grown in size by a third when I load any of the pages here and I’m trying to figure out if it’s a change, an error or if it’s just happy to see me.
Hi Indy!!! It must just be you. I am not having any problems so far this am.
I noticed it yesterday. I thought it might be the newish large ad text for Maher not understanding its place when I use Firefox’s [ctrl] and [+] command, but I am rather much html ignorant so I don’t know if that’s a viable theory.
Morning Indy. I’ve had that problem from time to time, but it’s usually in the recent comments window. At the moment it looks OK to me.
Mornin’ Family Man. No reptiles about at your place, I hope. 🙂
None that I’ve seen so far today. Needless to say, I won’t be going to see that new movie about snakes on an airplane. 🙂
How’re you today?
Not too well, thanks for askin’. My health is doing its usual unpleasantness, but also, it appears that my housemate’s mom is much closer to death than we expected at this point. When we moved here, we’d hoped she’d have at least a year or two, but with the way things have gone, I would be really surprised if she made it longer than another couple of weeks. It’s a very sad time for our little family.
That’s very sad, Indy. I hope it’s as comfortable as it can be for her and for the rest of your little family. Keep your chin up.
Thanks for the good wishes.
I’m sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling well and about your housemates Mom. It’s hard enough when you’re feeling well to take care of someone that’s dying, but when you don’t feel well, it’s near impossible. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks Family Man. Y’all’s* good people. 🙂
*(Heh, that word choice was for you, Second Nature. A word isn’t really proper southern redneck-speak until it’s got more than one apostrophe in it.)
I beg to differ. We speak high-red-neck here. We leave the ‘s of the ya’ll. 🙂
Hmm, maybe I need a Redneck Grammar Refresher course. If you don’t use the double contraction, how do you say “y’all is”?
Oh, and lol at “high-red-neck”.
Sending warm thoughts of Love and healing
Thanks, RF.
I’ve got to get going and get some stuff done around here.
Have a good day in the pond, ya’ll.
(that was a special for SN…)
Moving slowly again — doing the Dual Computer Boogie (spouse is on the desktop, I’ve got the laptop). Got assorted erranding to do today, mainly to get ready for school (mine doesn’t start till late September, but everyone else starts really early except Stanford, so all the great back-to-school sales are already underway).
Not much else going on today — spouse has a meeting tomorrow that might determine if/when he returns to work, so I’m trying not to freak out too much.
Check in with you folks later…
