Thank you all so much for keeping me company tonite! It made the time fly by. Have a great evening and a wonderful, fun Friday tomorrow!
You may have to pour her into bed, but she'll be fine. Don't forget to strap her down so she doesn't float away in her sleep!
Have a great evening!!!
Night Alee, and to all who are left, I believe I have a corpse coming up the driveway, I may return if it can't be revived.
Oops! Thanks for keeping me company!!!
Hey! Where'd you go?
Still here in fits and starts. We're on a treasure hunt here at the house digging through papers for my guy in prep for the tax lady. A major pain in the butt.
Be back in about a half hour or thereabouts. (SIGH.............)
What spa treatments did you get for your bride?
She gets to pick from what they tell me, but its 10 hours worth, but that pedi, mani, massage, facials, hair, yada yada, lol
lol, apprently it went well, shes sitting in car trying to get motivated to drive, just called
LOL! I know the feeling. ;)))) Depending on traffic, I drive 30 to 45 minutes to get to & from my masseuse. And she's worth every single minute of drive time.
Mmmmm edamame.... nom nom nom.....
to quote Homer Simpson, MMMMMMMMM, Beer
Homer? Where are your donuts to go with that beer? I know you have them! I can see the crumbs from here!
Ate all the donuts for lunch, mmmmm, Burrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppppp
Do you do anything special to them?
Iz gots fruits! Mandarin oranges, pineapples & strawberries. Fruit energy to keep me going.
Nope nothing special, just warm them up and sprinkle with salt. Let the happiness ensue.
You use salt? Freely? SIGH! What's that like?
BB freaks when I use salt of one of the 3 things I use salt on: corn on the cob; cole slaw (when I used to eat it) & grits. Or as Paula Deen says "gree-uts"
HAHA yes, yes I use salt freely. It's a perk of living alone I suppose. These are one of very few items I sprinkle with salt, so I think I'm OK. :)
Yes, I do love being a mom. Hardest work ever, but also soooooo great. My kids are hilarious sometimes too. It makes it all worth while.
Kids are great, but they sure grow up quick, can't believe my baby will be 13 this fall, ughhh, a teenage girl, my worst nightmare, lol
Faith, you sound like my best friend. She's exhausted and harried all the time and loves every minute of it! That's so awesome. Every time I hear someone say that the world's going in a negative direction, I think about parents like you, MT and my BF and smile knowingly. ;)
MTM, Is she showing signs of interest towards dating yet? BB would ask if you've got your shotgun cleaned & ready. :)
Fortunately she is still more interested in riding the horses, driving my toyota around the farm, fishing, and going hunting with me. But I am well aware that can change overnight, lol
Teeeeeeeenaaaaa ....... come out, come out wherever you aaaaaaaare!
Did. It's me.
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault
Good lord, speed typer............
Beer for dinner for me, its my Friday night and the bride is at the day spa using up her all day pass from V day, wonder if I will even recognize her, between the beer and work over, lol
She'll be the happy, relaxed one walking thru your door – with a flower in her hair and her feet about 12 inches off the ground.
Happy Friday nite! It is for me too!
that was the goal when I bought it, lol
Holy rock out while I drove home, wheres the food songs?lol
:)))) Nice people are keeping me company while I work late.
What food song would you like to, um see?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy Buffett:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
More like margaritaville for me, lol

My mom did something similar when we were growing up. It's nice to hear that you like being a mom. :)
[trust me, there are lyrics to this song. They just aren't PG-rated. ^__^ ]
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
I am realizing that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, the enemy
Just out of curiosity, how many of "your" postings were actually Truths?
And then there's mine......
Is this JDizz or TWO?
They were all mine,tho Truth and I would make some mean DJ's. Yes WD had to really go. There are only two women I am afraid of
1.WD-she is my co-pilot and can't make her mad.
2. The Queen-SHE can be a REAL MEANNIE! HA!
Anyway,I gotta go 'cuz I've got the Dallas run tonite. So before I leave,here is my best song by Don Meredith--–
Turn out the lights
the party's over!
Have a Great nite,don't work too hard and I will YELL at ya later.
Not from RH or Truth
Happy Trails Buddy. Thanks for keeping me company!
[Now I want to see who TinaT is....]
me
Cool! Thanks for keeping me company, too!!!! It makes the evening go SO much faster.
Which ones were yours – in a nutshell?
Just Proud Mary...it's one of my favorites.
Ain't got no trouble in my life
No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
I know I'll always get by
I heat up, I cool down
When somethin' gets in my way I go 'round it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
Yea
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
Feel funky, feel good
Gonna tell ya I'm in the neighborhood
Gonna fly like a bird on a wing
Hold onto your hat honey
Sing, sing
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music, pretty music
I've got the music in me
-Even Stevens
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Say, we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
you big sneak! ;) Did WD really have to go?
Don't know, but Ike did.......
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Time out! WD has got to go 'cuz she has all 4 paws crossed. BBS.
This would be a good time for a musical interlude .......
'Cause you can't feel my anger, you can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment, driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away make me whole again
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
[Love me some Steve Miller]
I'm a ramblin' man
I aint ever gonna change
I've got a gypsy soul to blame
and I was born for leavin'
I want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
I want to fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
Truckin...
Got my chips cashed in...
Truckin...
Like the doo-dah man...
Together, more or less in line...
Just keep truckin on...
If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,
What you see is only on the surface.
When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath,
The measure of the depth can be deceiving.
Put me in coach
I'm ready to play
Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys be playin'
Leave a nickel,can't be beat
Wellllll, my boys were ornery today, so I was definitely ready to come to work tonight. Not warmer yet. We even had snow yesterday. I'm predicting in two week it will be 70 degrees. (i have to stay positive)
Where do you live and what do you do for a living that you're working now?
I'm in upstate NY. I'm a switchboard operator/receptionist at a community college. I work 4-9pm Mon-Thur. I love it. My kids are young, so I can be home with them all day and then I work at night while my husband is home. Part time job with no weekends and holidays. Hard to find those, so I'll keep it!!
p.s. I picked Debra, because that's pretty much my life. :-)
wait--this was my reply to Richard........
Just think,in 2 weeks the little ones can run off all that energy,and track dirt into the house. :)
Well, the dog is already doing it. At least I can make the kids take their shoes off!
My women from Tokyo
she makes me see
Ok folks, I am out...Taking leave a little early after going all Don Draper on one of my parking tenants...
Was your earlier comment "Peggy Biggs" from Mike and Molly? I love that show, it's hilarious.
In answer to Truth's lunchtime poll, I would be Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond. :-)
Sorry,MINOR MAC binary issues!
OOOOOOPS-Hi Faith-How was your day? Any warmer up yonder yet?
I was trying like he!! to figure out who I could ID with. There are probably 1,000 TV characters I would LIKE to be like, but Biggs was the best I could come up with. I don't look like her, but around BB sometimes I feel like I act like her. :)
Debra, eh? Why do you pick her?
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see
Reach out and touch faith
sweeeeeeeeet
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so Blue
In this hole that is me
The dead are rolling over
In this hole thickening
Dirt shoveled over shoulders
This love has take control of me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
But I have no choice
Cause I wont' say goodbye anymore
Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's gotta be
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be
Dear agony...
Holy Deuce Batman.....
Whatup Girlfriend?
HAHA the music is drowning me.
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
and I don't like what I see
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be Loved?
Wavin' to the girls
squealin' out of sight
Spendin' all my money on a Saturday Nite
You, you really should have known
Yeah you, I think you really should have known
Just because
Just because
I love ya for your pink cadillac
crushed velvet seats
Did RH get a flat on his keyboard .....
She's real fine
my 409
Clean up your desk while rockin' to the oldies!
And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin where they all disappeared
Brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing?
It was a half past 10
that Baby of mine wouldn't letme in
So move it on over
Brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing?
Oh no, I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
SOMEBODY on here doesn't like CONCRETE BLONDE!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Thank You.
ROFLMAO with tears in my eyes! Last time they hit me with one I couldn't post. Everyone's a critic! :)
Better, much more my style. Please continue.
Mine too, but sometimes you gotta resort to what you have in your arsenal. ;)
can't you help me as i'm starting to burn,
too many doses and i'm starting to get an attraction.
Well, I'm taking my time,
I'm just moving on.
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
Somethins' happening here
What it is,ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A Tellin' me I gotz ta beware
What are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
My next stop is Vietnam!
Were you going to cry because of the song was sweet for you or because you hate his music?
Ket's put it this way
Barry Manilow
John Denver
Barney
GAG me with a spoon!!!!
Ahhhh yes ..... if saccharine could sing ...... capeche.
You and Tazer are falling behind.
What? By one? Tough crowd.
OH and Don't hit me up with Barry Manilow again. I was almost ready to cry!
Oh NOW there are rules? :)
I was really thinking along the lines of not having slept well last nite and what "wake up" song could I hitcha with.
Guess George Michele (I meant to do that) isn't on your Christmas card list? :))))))))
He's got one of those shrink-wrap machines, so they take up little space and stay extra fresh. WD uses them as a bed.
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Prop me up beside the juke box if I die
I wanna go to heaven
I just don't wanna go tonite
Have a good evening. I'm off to go make dinner, clean, and do laundry.... Most times it's more relaxing at work than home!!! LOL
I'll be around until 6 or so PST.
Cool! Maybe we can tag team "38 Special" :)
Sounds like Richy-poo is bored, he's starting to dress up and pose as various musicians.....
Really? He has all these costumes in his rig? How does he have room for his loads of OK? Wonder what Wonder Woof thinks of all this.
Whose this Richey-Poo?
Loads of OK? I wouldn't dare set foot in Oklahoma!!!!!!
So then you DON'T really pick up any Sooners on your runs? I'm slooooowly catching on to the "do's & don't's of the Klatsch ... ;)
.... or I meant to type "OJ"
Hahaha! I'm sure if you asked nicely he'd pick up an Oakie for you....
Good God!! I wouldn't know what to do with a corn-fed Okie! I got my BB to keep me warm at nite! :)
Yea,but he don't smell like BACON!!!!!!!
"Just Hold on loosely,but don't let go"!
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Hey Joe,Where ya going with that gun in your hand?
Hot Town,summer in the City
Back of my neck gettin' dirt and gritty.
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
She's got legs
And knows how to use them.
I'm working another late shift tonite – probably 'til 9:30 or 10. If anyone wants to chat, I'll be flippin' between this and my 3D work.
Make U Holla fo a Dolla!
I have accumulated what can be defined as a "hot mess" on my desk. Holy moly, no more papers, please!
I hear you. I didn't have many papers, but wires, PCs, computer parts, cables, hardware.... I had so much stuff, my 2 power strips on top of my desk were both full! I took some time and cleaned it up. I'm now down to 3 PCs, 2 monitors, 1 power strip, and a phone. Much better!!!
Now there is room for my coffee!
That takes all of the excitement out of putting things back together, i have been utilizing the empty 3lb coffee can for all spare computer screws and small parts lately, its a wonderful puzzle game in teh afternoons.
Then my office would look like my kitchen table! I'm trying to get that under control as well
lol, the bride would hang me if the kitchen table looked like my office....
Hubby and I are both in the IT field, and we are gutting our house – so I have little choice. I'm lucky I have a kitchen at all
We have been there recently as well, lifted roof with jacks, gutted kitchen/dining room/laundry to dirt, built back up, its fun! the bride is an accountant, so she prefers the orderly style.
It's been my experience that Engineers are either very neat/orderly, or could care less about how things look as long as they work. I think Hubby and I fall in to the later.
The only thing that is original to the house (besides kitchen – we haven't touched that room yet) is the 2×6 framing. Everything else is new It's taken about 5 years now – would've been faster to pay someone to do it, but we are doing it ourselves, so it's taking FOREVER – I'm so sick of dry-wall dust......
here is a visual of the "gutted" kitchen....
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y100/rubymuledeer/remodel/?action=view¤t=100_1134.jpg
And the new kitchen, the pantry and fridge along with some extra counter aren't visible on the left unfortunately.
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y100/rubymuledeer/?action=view¤t=100_1832.jpg
Agreed on the drywall dust, its miserable. We are also doing everything ourselves, so far roof, siding, kitchen, dining room, laundry, living room, and sunroom are complete. I have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms left, and a new deck out front. We are 3 years into it now, but the cost savings, and the satisfaction of knowing its done right is worth its weight in gold I think.
What's paper?
Wanna make it a REALLY hot mess? Psssst ....... take this lighter ..... [hee-hee]
HAHAHAHAA Thanks for the light, it certainly would be entertaining!
I don't miss having a boyfriend who was of the tech persuasion. We had half a closet full of wires and complete crap that was a) not useful and b) a waste of space.
Anyone read the postings re: peanut allergies story? There's a lot of anger in this world. I'd suggest some tarts n chill.
There IS alot of anger & insensitivity on both sides of that argument.
Top of the mor.....err...afternoon! What did I miss?
Kat and SLT: I have discovered a public confession of military desertion on the Afghan blog. Will CNN turn the guy in to the military? I know that a conviction for desertion carries a max penalty of death so this is serious. Please advise?
Kat, SLT: What is the CNN policy for this kind of thing?
Yep a dude actually seriously asked me and my friends for roofies cause he "needed to do his girlfriend " no hangover for me today, I did pretty good but I caved and got an AMF. Mmm.
Must be a real winner if he has to drug his gf to go there..........
Well that one was a really good sign, in addition to peddling weed outside of the bar like a telemarketer and his stupid straw cowboy hat.
AMF. Adios ..... ? Could it be that YOU indulged in this:
1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Rum
1/2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Blue Curacao
2 oz Sour mix
2 oz 7-Up
Yes, yes you're right. :)
Tazer, what did it taste like? And :) who did you say AMF to after you drunk it up? :)
MT Miner, couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing like treating the one you, um, like as a piece of meat.
Actually, it didn't taste bad at all. Kind of foo-foo tasting with the curacao and 7 up in there. It got major kudos for being neon blue. Obviously it's strong, but I think drinking a strong vodka/redbull is worse.
Ok, lunchtime poll time:
Name a fictional television character who is similar to you.
I'll go first, Patrick Jayne of The Mentalist...quiet, introspective, bright and something of a loner.
This is a tough one. I'm SO glamorous, intelligent, perceptive, rich (well...poor), wise, and sexy. Gosh, who SHOULD I pick as my virtual doppelganger......Brett Butler in Grace Under Fire.
Sounds kind of close to Reba as well...
Naw, I think Brett is hilarious but Reba is just amusing.
Not many evil overlords on television these days. Crying shame, that.
Darth Vader? The Borg Collective? Sauron?
C'mon, there aren't Evil characters on Battlestar? The Stargate series? I know there are some good ones on Dr. Who, but didn't you say you don't watch that?
Oh, there you go...mentioning BattleStar...there goes my train of thought for the afternoon...
The Cylons – Battlestar
The Wrath – Stargate Atlantis
The Goa'uld – Stargate SG1
The Daleks – Dr. Who (there are others, but they are the major ones)
Who else? Sci-Fi freak here :)
LOL! What does that spark up for you, dear sir?
You've mentioned some of my faves, girlfriend. :))))
Wonderful responses. The truth is I'd thought of vader and the emporer, but you said tv, and those were movies so I didn't think they counted.
I will think on this further to find an appropriate tv representation of myself.
I was never particularly fond of the number eight until I saw that show...

I got it!!! EG is Locutus of Borg.

Pics of minions.
But Locutus has a normal side as Jean Luc. Does EG?
Well, at least you're consistent. ;) Played by Grace Park who is now "Kono" on Hawaii Five-0. She was also on one of my fave kick-azz girl shows, Dark Angel.
I want to be Max when I grow up.
I LOVED Dark Angel! Great show. Too bad it went off the air.
Max was a kick-ass bad chick!
And she is a dead ringer for my wife, who ironically gets ticked off when I watch five-o...
Of course I have a normal side. Why do you think I'm hesitant to give out my identity?
Leaving now. See you chums tomorrow.
I"m going to have to go with Dixie Carter as Julia Sugarbaker in Designing Women.
Definitely!
So what are the royal family dining on today?
I just had some grilled shrimp with a little soy sauce over rice.
We had ham and swiss paninis with carrots and grapes for lunch. Dinner tonight will be chicken enchiladas with black beans and rice.
Got to hand it to you, you do feed your family very nutritious meals. Bride does her veggies too, but I am a complete and total dietary hedonist. Hence my daily can of V8 every morning.
V8....yuck! Although the V8 V-fusion drinks are tasty and I have been known to use them to boost my veggie intake.
"Peggy Biggs"
GOOOD MORNING!!! Well, I know that not everyone is a fan, but the Lady GaGa concert last night was absolutely AMAZING. I have no voice from all the screaming, and I think that my hearing may be permanently damaged. It was so loud that I could literally feel the bass. SOOOOO much fun!
Glad you had a good time, and remember, you were born this way...:)
Now THAT'S the sign of a great concert experience: hoarse & deef! Good Times!
Glad you had a fun together separately with Tazer.
Seabee don't you know to always take earplugs to a concert? You still hear it just fine, but you don't go deaf.
Lady Gaga seems like she could put on a good show, if you could block out or ignore the music.
LOL! That's what my big sister said about the Godsmack concert!! :))))))
Wear earplugs, or ignore the music?
LOL! She said, "Godsmack seems like they put on a good show, if you could block out or ignore the music."
Almost verbatim.
Different tastes. I don't much like pop in any form. People call me crazy, I call them drones. It's a give and take. ;)
[Hey! I just noticed it's not "Grimace" today! GoodONya!]
Agreed. To each his own (twitch-iz-oan) I say. I'm the only person I know and spend time with who likes the head-banging music that I do. SIGH! It's a cross that I bear ..... LOUDLY. :))))))))))))))))))
Ok, I just saw the "Dr. Drew" banner, and while I am no fan of seeing more celebrity rehab nonsense on television, can you pleasepleaseplease tell me if this means Behar is getting gone???
MTM how did you know?! Ha. I'm not enthusiastic about it.
Alee- it was a ton of fun. Had to ward off the short weird guys haha and someone asked us for roofies... O.o?
We had our roof done last summer. Make sure your contractor is bonded and insured and uses two layers of tarpaper under the shingles.
lol, I upgraded teh phone system here to VOIP 3 years ago, and heard the same stuff, lol
Since I'm in the IT field, most places I've worked have used VoIP for years. It's a little tricky to set up, but I don't notice any issues.
867-5309
I'm sure I'll get used to it. Its about 3 hours old.
Someone asked if you had ruffies? The date rape drug. Was it a joke? Were THEY hi?
Glad you have a good time!! DID YOU WAKE UP WITH A HANGOVER?
Oi vey... we got a new phone system today. Complicated much? O.o
Hey! How was the camo & lace concert?
Hello. How are you?
Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That's what I'd say. I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you.
Oh no
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you.
I am guessing this is the latest greatest voice over IP phone system eh?
Did you know that Elizabeth Taylor loved liver and onions? When she visited Michael Jackson in the hospital she discovered that the cafeteria had wonderful liver and onions. They would make it for her every day. She would take it up to Jackson's room and eat it in front of him grossing him out, of course.
On a sadder note, there's a horrifying story on the main page about a mother sexually abusing her own 2-year-old, taping it, and sending off to a long-time offender to watch.
I find this to be one of the single most disturbing things I've ever read. I am not a parent, and am in no way anxious to be, but I cannot even fathom how a parent could treat their kid this way, and then share it with others. People have truly lost their minds.
We as a race have a myraid of ways in which we hurt one another, but imho, by FAR, the most depraved is sexual. I have often believed that our creator would have done us a HUGE favor by making procreation a physically neutral act, since sexual gratification has led to many variations of harm.
I agree that it's the worst kind of abuse I can think of. Makes my skin crawl to think of adults who've had to go through it, much less children.
I read that as well. The woman who gave birth to that toddler (I refuse to call her a mother or anything close) should be shot – but even that's too good for her. I hope she rots in hell – a slow, painful, death, and no one to assist her in any way.
Agreed, especially as the article, unbelievably, made it sound like she's not going to get any jail time – just supervision and being required to register as an offender. They didn't even say they took her kids away. But I sure hope they did.
I confess that I have lost a certain level of compassion when it comes to mental illness. Hearing these horrifying stories hardens the heart. I posted a few days ago on my struggle to figure out how to think about things, especially the bad. And this kind of misery just, .... don't know,.... I loose the capacity to put into words what my reaction is (or should be). Should I call this person (merely) morally bankrupt? Depravity as hobby? I'm stumped. A therapeutic frontal lobotomy might help her. But what about the child? I can only hope those who can help her WILL, and effectively, too.
I think she honestly earns the term psycho. Because after she got caught she said she regrets it and shouldn't have done that. I doesn't, from the article, even sound sincere, just something she knows she's supposed to say.
I understand. I think mental idleness and all its attendant depravity are more damaging BY FAR than radioactive fallout. Mere "regret" does not cut it and using the term reeks of a total lack of sincerity. And, further, being "sincere" in this instance is STILL not enough. Being drawn and quartered MIGHT be enough......
sorry....end of rant.
French drawing and quartering, or English?
The English would be adequate. A slow bloody death, whatever the means.
Both are pretty long, bloody and horrible. Especially pre-eighteenth century methods.
She regrets being caught, not what she did.
The last few minutes of the film "Braveheart" would suffice just fine, imho.
Yup. Had the same mental picture.
There's nothing more infuriating to me than abuse – nothing. There is no punishment severe enough for this woman. Nor is there one severe enough for the bottom-feeder who paid her to do this. I would beg in the streets or starve to death before I'd try to make a buck this way – off of a 2 year old child no less!
Maybe there are more appropriate punishments in other, say Middle Eastern countries, for this sort of crime. They seem to understand more about "an eye for an eye" type of punishment – altho' I'm not sure what they would deem appropriate for this. Veeeeeeeery sloooooooooowly drawing & quartering comes to mind.
Make better choices people. It's all about making smart choices. [:'-(
Didn't look that close until EG made his debut. Coffee and salt? Bafflement......
Morning Chums. Truth, I think Kat just called you old! But, um, actually, what IS the deal with coffee and salt?
I saw that...At 45, I am finally starting to feel like my body and mind are reaching the same age...I like it though, as there is a fair amount of wisdom that comes with it. Life's highs do not go as high, but the lows don't go anywhere near as low.
That actually makes me look forward to aging, Truth. I definitely still feel it weird not to be an adult as I still think the way I always have. But then, evil overlords don't need to be mature. It's our prerogative.
Wow, another case of overediting. I find it odd to BE an adult as I still think like a kid. Not to not be an adult. Sorry.
Have to say that turning 40 was really no big deal, but then again, I spent that weekend skiing with a young lady twelve years younger, who was completely and utterly captivating physically.
That said, staying active both mentally and physically are key. My mom has alzheimer's and dad has parkinson's, so the future picture is NOT bright. I am going to fight physical deterioration tooth and nail.
What were the ages that were a big deal for you. Everybody says 30, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I'd probably enjoy turning 50, because you've got the wisdom and experience, and respect if you've earned it, but you're not old enough to be discounted as too old to know what you're talking about.
I LOVED college...Worked my tail off, but felt totally in command of my life. Academics came easily (fairly) for me, so I was able to do some travel, and sports and always seemed to have a girlfriend. Mid to late twenties were ok, but somewhat stressed between grad school and starting the career.
To be honest, I have never really thought much about this, but the forties have been (so far), the best. I've traveled, gotten married and am comfortable in my career. I am truly blessed and I try to show thanks for it.
Hey, take it from me 60 is the new 30. I feel NO different inside my skin.
The discordant note, to me, is seeing my daughters, shall we say, "mature."
Sounds good to me, both 45 and 60 sound like ages to look forward to.
The real turning points in a parent-child type relationship are times when
– They order a drink with dinner.
– Tell a dirty joke
– Form their own political opinions
– Face relationship or marital issues.
Yup. Went through that 3 times. Kids WILL be independent, INDIVIDUALS, and it is wise to accept that without putting everyone within earshot through the parental angst. Silence can be golden.
Buenas dias, amigos.....
Buenas tardes mi amiga!
Good morning all!
Hi! How're you today?
人間でき事の間に、1人が別のものと…持っているタイを分解することは必要になる時
Learning Japanese, I think I'm learning Japanese, I really think so...
ハッハッハそれは中国人だった今、もし、あなたが仕事でここに私を助けて来ることが!
ha ha ha Now if it were Chinese, you could come help me here at work!!!
哈哈现在，如果它是汉语，你能来帮我在这里工作!
哈哈現在，如果它是中，你可以幫我來這裡工!
Good morning, everybody! I just finished downing some of my secondary coffee alternative and I'm feeling a rush coming on! Add to the fact that everyone's bringing sugary treats to the table, and you have a cocktail that'll send me into a tailspin of sugar and caffeine like no one's ever seen before! AH HA HA HA!~
Do share – what is this "coffee alternative" you speak of?
That would be Coca-Cola!

Just because you have read something on the internet does not mean you have incontrovertible (WOD) proof that it's true.
Ain't that the truth. Now where are those WMD'S?
"WMD's" wild manic depressives?
Morning all, glad its my Friday, been a long week.
Good Morning and how did the meeting go yesterday?
I survived it, and didn't choke any liberal stooges, therefore I believe it was a win.....
How was your 3 course dinner last night?
very satisfying and relaxing, but not too filling.
Good morning all! I have some Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Raspberry Filling and Cream Cheese Icing :-) For the full post check out my blog or the Frosting 4 A Cause blog on Saturday AM.
At the risk of sounding forward, let me say unequivocally that I love you right now.
Thank you! I wanted to make sure my recipe was a real eye catcher because the site is for such a great cause. I just hit my cure date the other week so anything that brings awareness and $$ to cancer organizations is all right by me.
If anyone is interested: http://www.frostingforthecause.com/ is the website sponsoring the event. They are still looking for a few more cooks/bakers for later this year so if anyone wants to sign up :-D Today's feature on their site are Lavendar Caramels and then this Saturday will be my ChocoBerry Cupcakes
so one of my co-workers just proposed to me after eating one of those cupcakes :-D I think this recipe is a winner
(wistful diabetic): DROOOOL
LOL!!!! I wish y'all could see this:
BACKGROUND: Early last week, our VP/GM told my boss, the Spin Doctor, that the pile of stuff in front of the SpinDoc's office needed to be gone by Monday. That would be this past Monday. It's a typical engineering parts 'n' papers mess.
Today, the SpinDoc is out of the office, taking a PTO day. The VP/GM was just back here, talking to one of the eng's about his project, saw the mess, still untouched, and proceeded to move every scrap of the pile into my boss's office! HAHA!!!
It feels I'm watching a Dad punish his son for disobeying orders. I'll have to wait to hear what the SpinDoc's reaction was from my co-workers, 'cuz I won't be in tomorrow.
I have long believed that we change very little from the days we spent on the playground. Take a look around the Klatch, and you will find the class clowns, the smart kids, the flirts, the introverts, the suckups and those who crave attention. Sounds like spindoc is one requiring remedial tutoring.
Gee-I'm glad I'm Normal and don't fall into any of those categories!
In case anyone was wondering, I'm the introvert. My shy and retiring nature should have given that away.
What a Diva! It's ALL about YOU isn't it sweety!
And I was one of the remedial special ed kids...slow learner, always needed extra help, could not learn a danged thing...
Lemme see.....which one am I.......I wanna be the class clown, one of t he smart ones, and I crave attention. I'm triplets!
I agree with you up to a point. I believe people who WANT to, can change, grow, mature, etc. Mature people have learned that there's a time and a place for everything. If a mask is required to get along in the work place and make a living, then so be it. People who don't learn that, tend not to venture too far from that playground mentality you mention. You're right about the SpinDoc, he could use some tutoring.
Everyone wants to find a place where they fit in and are accepted either for who they are or in spite of how they appear to be. What's inviting about 'sites like the Klatsch is they allow you to let your hair down and/or be whatever you want to be. Poopie Lists and all!
(((HUG)))
Good morning! Is it wrong to use your 3 year olds Magna-Doodle to draw stick figures in compromising positions?
I used to live with a woman who had a collection of stuffed animals. You would be AMAZED at the activities they would be found doing...
She's a super freak, super freak. She's super freaky!
The lesson that I got from that relationship is that it really is true, what is said about crazy women having, shall we say, other redeeming qualities...
Only if your writing a childrens book about the Kama Sutra!
I'm going to remember this little exchange! I may start a collection of a few Ken and Barbie sets......
'Morning, all...notice there is no good there...feel like I am treading water at the farm today. I am so glad I am off tomorrow, though I have to make a brief appearance for a meeting on my vacation day...ugh! How is everyone else this morning?
Good Morning-How's the pups? Take them with you to the meeting and I bet they won't hold a meeting on a vacation day again.
That's how I got roped into attending! I was bringing them in to show off and since I was going to be around anyway... Oh well, maybe it will be quick and dirty and I can get back to being off... The pups are good, by the way. I am renaming the Corgi Houdini...he is one heck of an escape artist! The Jug is happy to have someone to play with, so it's worth running through the neighborhood in heels every morning to bring him back! How's WD? She enjoying a day at home?
WD has taken control of the couch,so don't even think about sitting there. She had to make her rounds in the backyard searching for any squirrels that may try to invade her domain. After that it's on the couch and LaLa land.
Good morning, and what did I do now?
Good Morning. She must be referring to your elephant like memory.
Good Morning from the Hacienda. Poor Truth-My Brother never gets no respect! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Good morning from Atlanta, GA! Nice and wet ride in this morning but all safe and sound. Not having the healthiest of breakfast this morning; sausage and cheese McMuffin.
Good morning to you and everyone in the Klatsch!!!
Got some Lavazza 'spresso ready and some cinnamon crumb cake. Please, help yourself!
