Glad I do not get this look and movement from any other members of my family....quite undignified picture, imagining DH approaching me this way.....

Ah yes,........ in this situation you simply pass him the 'wet wipes' and let him sort his OWN Janet darn self out!!

[tom]

Uh-oh I'm beginning to feel VORTEXED again!!!!

Daughter's birthday a little while back . . . she turned seven and said . . . "I can't believe I'm almost 10!!!"

Heeheehee

I need more kids to play with.

I still get sad thinking about Nic&Nat moving to NV 3 yrs ago.

HEY!!!!! Maybe I should go there this wkend!!!

. .. . (but so far - every single thing is somehow fun and easier and perfect wif David ) oops - sorry - being sickening again, am I?

FYI, imo, you've done quite well at truncating these potentially sickening soliloquys in time.

B & B - - Tom can probably explain it but it's the TASTIEST nightcap.......I told my mom that I'd gotten some - someone passed it to me on a camping trip years ago and I never forgot it....and she siad - Oh! That's what your father always ordered after dinner!

I'm pretty sure B&B is a brandy.

I was never much for apertifs and such, but on the rare occasion would lean more towards a cognac. Or <YUM> a Courvoisier-type. oh oh OH!!!

BTW Susie, if you used to take the Alma exit off 87, you might want to ask your friend for new directions.

I don't think you can get there anymore from northbound 280.

(Ptaum actually got screwed on this WITH Claire, of OMG thread, driving to meet Donna!!!!)

You'll have three mill, Ptaum...ya git yerself a great pair o' shades.....

Green frames I could deal w/, but wouldn't the lenses also have to be green and wouldn't that diminish their effectiveness??

And it's not just ME I'm concerned w/ - what about those similarly pained by these coloUrs???? (Do NOT forget the forum's Great ColoUr Scheme Fiasco of Aught-Seven!!!!)

Must I carry a green backpack w/ a supply of these sunglasses, winging them fwd as I approach friends, family, & strangers with whom I'd like to speak w/out causing them retinal harm??

I come back and she was in my drawer getting eggs

somehow that made me chuckle.....

We take Avenue 7, through the sh!t-hole glorious farm town of Firebaugh, briefly on I5, then Pacheco Pass. Lovely, verdant drive this time of year, and I'll bring my camera whilst Kissey drives. (the weasel is going too, of course, and will have to wedge herself in betwixt the rug). Then 280 to Bird Ave. exit......easy.

GOTTA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aww Em, the brain sharing has taken a toll, now your mind will be always in the gutter where mine is!!!

[elye]

Which section is it listed under???? next to David Attenborough Wildlife documentary's ??

He could certainly be part of our reading...capital idea! His commanding English voice, reading through our discourse....

Unlike dogs, cats do not PRETEND to show guilt - they look at you and say '' Yeah, so I got a poopie butt chunk stuck to me arse...SO???''

Or: "Excuse me, young minion...Please remove this piece of unfortunate fecal matter from my backside. Then: I shall need a treat, my indoor lavatory must be cleaned, and....of course! My pillow plumped. Now, please".

I'm SO disappointed!

Counting the days till Jeff Healey, and I heard on the radio this morning that he has gone in for sudden emergency cancer treatment...very sad. So, concert's cancelled. Man, I dunno how much longer my dad's gonna be able to attend anything like this. Hopefully Jeff will bounce back and reschedule soon.

So....I've now got Saturday night free. Anybody wanna get together and practice for our reading?

[jerseyangel]

another reason we all love you so - - our concerned mother figure

Aw-w-w....but I want to be the cool, young, hip mom

Unlike dogs, cats do not PRETEND to show guilt - they look at you and say '' Yeah, so I got a poopie butt chunk stuck to me arse...SO???''

This is SO true!

Ah yes,........ in this situation you simply pass him the 'wet wipes' and let him sort his OWN Janet darn self out!!

Nikki--you're killin me

[elye]

Uh-oh I'm beginning to feel VORTEXED again!!!!

Me, too........gotta get outta here.......

Must I carry a green backpack w/ a supply of these sunglasses, winging them fwd as I approach friends, family, & strangers with whom I'd like to speak w/out causing them retinal harm??

Yep. They'd be supplied.

aww Em, the brain sharing has taken a toll, now your mind will be always in the gutter where mine is!!!

Oh, no! One big gutter, between Ontario and New York.....if they look closely, they'll see us....

[tom]

Augh!!!! FINALLY caught up!!

**Summer-time Milestone**

Wearing flip-flops for the 1st time this year yay!!!

Wish I thought I could bump up setting up the PC to the top of the to-do list. (Entire area needs decluttering phirst)

These pageloads just KILL me on fast-brain days!

[jerseyangel]

**Summer-time Milestone**

Wearing flip-flops for the 1st time this year yay!!!

I have to say--this I am jealous of! It shouldn 't be too much longer here, either, although it's only 25 right now.

[blueeyedmanda]

So....I've now got Saturday night free. Anybody wanna get together and practice for our reading?

sure what you got in mind for food? drinks?

Oh, no! One big gutter, between Ontario and New York.....if they look closely, they'll see us....

We can name it the Sillyville Canal

I have to say--this I am jealous of! It shouldn 't be too much longer here, either, although it's only 25 right now.

25 feels like 10....I did see 50's next week. I am looking forward to spring, I got the cutest strappy sandals I picked up. And if I get in shape and lose a few pounds....I can shop for some new clothes...always fun!

[nikki-uk]

So....I've now got Saturday night free. Anybody wanna get together and practice for our reading?

Always available on Sat nights Em (read... she has no life)

Sat nights are hubby's Man/girl nights no, sillies!!! T'is his wine night

Aw-w-w....but I want to be the cool, young, hip mom

...but Patti??....you ARE COOL (with a cool cat )

**Summer-time Milestone**

Wearing flip-flops for the 1st time this year yay!!!

Haumphfffffff!!!!!!!!!

Feet not in a fit state to be viewed by public eyes yet - have been encased (still are) in thermal socks

[tom]

no time for coffee stop.....Leslie will have a snack for us and then we turn right around.....literally have 15 minutes to load the car and head back......

'Twere I, I'd want to gas up @ Rotten Robbie up Lincoln anyway, thus creating an opportunity for ONE to do that whilst the other procures the ambrosial java of jovial jocularity.

It's self-serve for the carafes - no line . .. .takes but a minute.

<must remind self not EVERYone is as in love w/ coffee as i>

Uh-oh .. .and what if they're out of the Oaxacan!!!???

Ok ... never mind .. ....they do have a couple blends I don't like at ALL.

... ..it's the only day we can go and she is a raving lunatic over having all these things cluttering her home (from a tear-down)..........

*<light bulb>*

Don't suppose she's looking to dump an end table or smallish coffee table?

We don't yet have one for the patio. Making do w/ some .. .. ..I don't even know WTH to call this thing of John's that has wheels.

.........chortling wildly over our scatological patois..........

OooooooOOOOOOOO!!! pah-TWAH!!!!

yeah, w/ L'il Pooh Chunks (our newest SCAT-band/opener for the Bad Ass Snow Poodles)

<ewwwwwwww> I think I'll skip this one

. ... then Pacheco Pass. Lovely, verdant drive this time of year, . .. ..

.. . Then 280 to Bird Ave. exit......easy.

Ahhh yes .... .San Luis Reservoir etc

Love the trees along Bird - after it goes from 3 lanes to one of course - atypical as they are for most of WG.

I'm SO disappointed!

Counting the days till Jeff Healey, and I heard on the radio this morning that he has gone in for sudden emergency cancer treatment...very sad. So, concert's cancelled.

Well now THAT's a big POOPY COW!!!!!!!

I was excited for you!!

(Get Well Jeff!!)

[jerseyangel]

We can name it the Sillyville Canal

Good one!

OMG - I wear them year-round!!!!!!! Unless it's just butt-arse freezing.....and then it's Uggs.

feel guilty now for all a' youse and your freezing toes...... The weather here now - this is what I LIVE for in this town............absolute perfection. The ambient light at twilight - there is a different glow in the Valley sun and it's pure magic....must savoUr.

I have to say--this I am jealous of! It shouldn 't be too much longer here, either, although it's only 25 right now.

25!

Wellllllll....not THAT much fun any more since they ALL have to be some shade of bilious (or leprechaun?) green.......

Nope, no tables. What in hell IS that wheeled-contraption of which you speak? John scares me. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE put up his av for me again......such a good laugh.....I actually thought of it in the car one day whilst driving and chortled heartily....

[nikki-uk]

GAD!!!!

I wonder if I would feel the same about London's twilights were I madly in lurrrrve

Nope, no tables. What in hell IS that wheeled-contraption of which you speak? John scares me.

Scares me too.......is this the wheeled contraption?????

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE put up his av for me again......such a good laugh.....I actually thought of it in the car one day whilst driving and chortled heartily....

Scares me too.......is this the wheeled contraption?????

My first laugh out loud today . . . my silly seems to be on pause but am reading along.

Had a new handyman team here today - husband and wife (I could NEVER work with my husband like that). They were wonderful!!!! I'm gonna keep 'em.

[elye]

I have to say--this I am jealous of! It shouldn 't be too much longer here, either, although it's only 25 right now.

Grrrrrrrr..........Stop this unjustified complaining, all! With wind-chill factor, we're at -20 here. That's MINUS 20.

Perhaps it is something like this, which you may want to hang onto. It will likely come in handy the older you get....

Wow, this guy's really got ya, Susie......

Wellllllll....not THAT much fun any more since they ALL have to be some shade of bilious (or leprechaun?) green.......

How about snomit green? (An interesting cross, here, and a coloUr that is surprisingly warm and lovely, somewhat yellower than teal...)

John scares me. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE put up his av for me again......such a good laugh.....I actually thought of it in the car one day whilst driving and chortled heartily....

OMG...I walked into the bedroom this morning, and there is DH still lying in bed, posed EXACTLY as John was in the now infamous pic. Same bent knees, curved back...I chortled as you did, Susie. Will said, "What?" And, as so often happens when I'm faced with explaining humour from this thread, I found it too much to get into, so I mumbled, "It's all Slings and Gland-type stuff...."

[tom]

. . .. The ambient light at twilight - there is a different glow in the Valley sun and it's pure magic....must savoUr.

<happy sigh>

When *will* Susie paint again?

Far too occupied now obviously, but artistic endeavour of ANY sort is always encouraged.

(Ptaum practiced sax again yesterday & plans to today )

Nope, no tables. What in hell IS that wheeled-contraption of which you speak? John scares me.

It reminds me of something out of an underfunded lab - holding some equipment and/or test samples.

Very out-of-place here.

Scares me too.......is this the wheeled contraption?????

ROFL YES!!!!! (w/ a flattened back and stacked 3 high, you've NAILED IT!!!!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE put up his av for me again......such a good laugh.....I actually thought of it in the car one day whilst driving and chortled heartily....

It was the best yet.....a warning to all who partake in the phaerie

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my GAHHHHHHHD!! And I thought it was just crazy Susie so enamored w/ this snapshot of Absinthian destruction!!

He DID have even more than originally thunk - the Swiss one is a full litre bottle, not the usual 750ml.

So, Soozuhn, w/ THAT many Es in pleeze, I we are Royally swayed.

(Hard to say whether a mere 12 or 15 Es would possess sufficient swayage )

I've had some recent problems w/ this ^%#@#% mini-SD card howevah, so if "Roommate w/ Toilet" isn't soon displayed, it's a technical issue.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Having such fun today. Talked to old girlfriend Doreen a bit ago (so much WG talk & she lives in Willow Glen) just to say hi and .. .lol .. . .she proposed mtg for coffee and . .lol .. . I just now realized that if it goes long the KisseyKombo kould be 2 blks away.

Doreen blames me for her THEN-newfound obsession w/ basketball, which tickles me SO much more than I could convey.

Today she said "it's the greatest time of the year, with college & pro games meaning more every wk"!!!!!!

She even plays year-round in TWO leagues!!

[tom]

Hey!!!!! Where'd everybody GO???!!

Was it something I said?? (Oh wait .. .that's Emily's job)

No idea why, when, or how I even HAVE this song, but just really enjoyed Tom Jones' Sex Bomb.

Bet it's quite a projectile-panty number at live shows.

Never quite understood this extreme enthusiasm or whether spares are brought for this purpose, as that greatly reduces the magnitude of the gesture, n'est-ce pas??

Perhaps it is something like this, which you may want to hang onto. It will likely come in handy the older you get....

Janet? This wheeled contraption get another LOL?

And, as so often happens when I'm faced with explaining humour from this thread, I found it too much to get into, so I mumbled, "It's all Slings and Gland-type stuff...."

You must already know they all think you're nuts, right?

********

Soooooooo tempted to head to Reno this wkend!

Hmmmm .. . .. hmmmmm .. .. 1st summery wkend might demand staying here to enjoy it. Basketball will be played.

Old bandmate Keith has a gig in Los Gatos Fri & he's agreed to guestlist me. I'm there as long as I don't have some inexplicable crap day tomorrow. (Grrrrrrrrr)

It's a band I was IN at its formation, but left well b4 playing out.

(What IS their website?

[tom]

So here I am in Willow Glen for other purposes, and decide I should at least LOOK FOR the 3 Belgian gluten-free beers at this >tiny< BevMo.

As expected, they haven't heard of it & the other 2 closest BevMos don't have it either, despite it dominating the new posts yesterday on YahooCeliacbayarea where the thread is "3 new gluten-free beers at BevMo"!!!!!!!

On the way out, just 8 steps from Lincoln Ave, I see it. No .. . I see THEM!!

This >tiny< BevMo has BOTH the Swiss AND the French ABSINTHE!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sure John said he checked here before we trekked to the 4th closest one.

Awright then Suze, I suppose all this is moot if Fresno has an appropriately-stocked BevMo, but if not, AND you skip town Saturday Phaerie-less after being ONE BLOCK from a vendor, I will simply have to conclude yer all talk, ya wormwood poseur!! :lol: wackl :lol:

[i may go so far as to put "yer all talk, ya wormwood poseur" into my sig ]

(Wondered if I should've just PM'd your Kissey about this, perhaps enabling a squeal-worthy surprise .. . .. )

<I can't belieeeeeeve I now actually call a dude Kissey>

P.S. D'oh just realized that those trees I like are on Coe, which I always used to take to Bird.

Never quite understood this extreme enthusiasm or whether spares are brought for this purpose, as that greatly reduces the magnitude of the gesture, n'est-ce pas??

The bigger question for me has always been this: What happens to the hundreds of panties that are tossed at Mr. Jones' feet? Does he keep them in an immense underwear drawer? If he keeps them, does he wash them? Perhaps they are collected and given to The Salvation Army or Shelters...this would be the reasonable thing to do. But do they wash them? I have seen racks and racks of second-hand undies for sale at Value Village and the Sally Anne....so do you think they sell well? Somehow I cannot imagine that they move too quickly....

Hmmmm .. . .. hmmmmm .. .. 1st summery wkend might demand staying here to enjoy it. Basketball will be played.

Sounds like you should be hitting the court with Doreen. TWO leagues?!

Tom, I think your avatar is, in fact, a pic of DH in bed. Not kidding, it's quite remarkable. He even places his arms the same way as this drunken figure you call John. But here, I realize, the similarities end. You say this is a guy who has what could be equipment and test samples from an underfunded lab? Sitting on your patio?

[tom]

Sounds like you should be hitting the court with Doreen. TWO leagues?!

Weeeeeeeeeeeelllll I'd wondered the same when I happened upon her at Rotten Robbie (I partly like saying that cuz it MUST make most say "huh??". It's just a gas station chain) several months ago.

She had a bf at the time. Probably still does.

BUT! ... ..Now I'm wondering if her unprompted proposal for a meet-up has an underlying meaning.

<oh thank YOU Em!!!!>

I am, no doubt, impressed w/ her evolving sportsification, but I shouldn't forget I broke up w/ her for a reason.

(Ooh! What if the reason was more my pre-dx decline in mental health and advancing detachment?)

Eh whatever .. ..it'll be fun. Last time i figured on 20min, and we sat there for 2.5hrs!!!

You say this is a guy who has what could be equipment and test samples from an underfunded lab? Sitting on your patio?

Oh how she toys w/ me!!

I think you know janetDarn well what I meant!!!

No lab equipment here & my own intestinal tract and immune system are the only test samples I know of here.

The weird-ass wheelified 'table/shelving' would NOT look out-of-place in the afore-mentioned luh-BORE-uh-tory.

[elye]

I am, no doubt, impressed w/ her evolving sportsification, but I shouldn't forget I broke up w/ her for a reason.

...Okay, evolving sportsification is a good thing....

All we ask is that she can get dutifully excited in February 2009 over a certain dogsled race....

The weird-ass wheelified 'table/shelving' would NOT look out-of-place in the afore-mentioned luh-BORE-uh-tory.

Ah! the afore-mentioned LAB-ruh-tory....

Our schwas are at loggerheads, mefinks....

[tom]

What the heck *IS* this schwa beeswax???

(Oh .. .and the turtles would prefer to be left out of this)

Got an email from forum member yolo today. She's been pretty under the weather but it's looking pretty good for a wkend meet-up!!
