Look out! The pool thread is filling up!
Nytol!
Hey everyone... fairly dark and dreary here in upper New York. Original estimates were rain (or significant chances thereof) during the work week this week and next week, but nice weekends.
I want to go to sleep like the picture for today... but in a bed. If I slept like that my back would kill me for a week!
btw- the Avengers ROCKED (I saw it on my birthday last Saturday.)
Wow. Hamilton hits 4 HR in one game. Good for him. I like his story.
OK, finally settled in, hair combed. Got down to the rental car and the keys wouldn't unlock the doors, tried it several times, went back to the room to try to call Hertz....well I guess my own car keys won't work on this rental, go figure!! OK, I know, I'm blonde, I'm dizzy, I have excuses you know.
Macadamia nut crusted grouper for dinner tonight, and bff coming over for a sleep over. :)
Morning Crew
Howdy! Coffee?
Does a one legged duck swim in circles? YES PLEASE!
*pouring* When Truth gets in, maybe he can set both of us up with an IV.
Niiiiiiice! I haven't heard that line. Got any more like that ... that you can post moderation-free?
Turn Left,Turn Left....
Does a snake have hips?
Do lezbians kiss on the lips?
I would sure hope so.
2 tickets please!!!
Sorry, these are 2 Tickets Paradise, not the island of Lezv(b)os.
Good morning! Nice and sunny here...for now. Hoping that it will clear up by this weekend so I can get my garden planted :-)
Good Morning. Whatcha plannin' to plant, nice lady?
2 Pink Lady tomatoes, 2 Cherry Tomatoes, 1 jalepeno, 2 bell pepper, 2 black beauty eggplant, 2 japanese eggplant, 1 basil, 1 dill, 1 cilantro, 1 bay leaf, 2 zucchini, 2 yellow squash, 3 strawberry (already planted), and that leaves me with two open spaces. Thinking maybe brussel sprouts, tomatillos, carrots, or something else.
suggestions?
Sounds like a nice spread. Do you have most of these from seeds you started or are you buying starter plants?
The herbs and carrots are from seed while everything else will be from a starter plant. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this year will be better than last, but I guess time will tell! Last year the only things that really produced were the herbs, all the veggies died. However I haven't gotten three strawberries, which is three more than last year!
NIce. I've got radishes going nuts and a little lettuce going well, but my carrotts havn't taken for much. Going to put in a bunch of similar stuff as you in the next few weeks.
so I answered and got moderated. No idea why but no desire to retype that rather long reply....
Moderators have certainly tightened up their nets lately. I don't see anything moderatable in your post.
If I've posted something that's long and I don't want to re-type, I'll copy & paste it into an empty email to look at later for re-posting.
My baby sister has herself an urban farm. She's been growing different lettuces & cabbages depending on the seasons. Do you have room for that kind of growth?
not really...plus in my area those are more winter garden veggies. I think I might do them in a winter garden, but otherwise I think the direct sun will be burning them. this is also why i'm worried about the carrots, technically should have planted those 2wks ago so that the roots could establish before the searing heat starts.
morning! time to start my day...gift shop out of brushes, so a comb will have to do.
Try some Hair Gel, a Bandanna and don't forget your Gold Grill.
Ayyyyyyy...A comb works for me.
Morning, all. Thanks to AleeD for the double shout-out, both my old and new names! Glad you got some rest, RH, is WD a good pillow? My furries aren't very pillow-like.
WD uses me for the pillow,at least she doesn't walk around in circles on my stomach before plopping down for a nap. How's things going up your way?
Another rainy, dreary day here. All tests came back good, so now I'm taking a $3.81 prescription that seems to be taking the headache away, thanks for asking.
That's Good news for all involved. Speaking of Good News....Josh Hamilton hit 4 Home Runs last night,Take That NY Mets and watch out Jamie Moyer.
Morning Sista', Thanks for the Java. It could be The Toilet Paper Devils keeping you awake. Stay Alert. :))
Baaaad TP devlis. Good Morning Bro-minator – missed you yesterday. Did you get that Polish remover for your spork?
Yep, The Bent Prongs sent me a case. Got out of Houston Late Monday night and a long drive to 'Bama wore me out. I got some good sleep tho, recharged my batteries and ready to go. How's things at work?
Bent Prong? Sounds painful. Maybe you slept on it wrong.
Work is going very well. Thank you for asking. I very much like working for our VP/GM. He worked his way up from the assembly floor and is next to impossible to BS. He has a firm grip on the direction of the company and isn't afraid to tell anyone where to go – constructive or otherwise.
Whacha got going on today?
It always makes it a Better job when some one has worked their way up in the Company. I'm sitting in PCF waiting on the crew to get started and the arrival of the Roach Coach. Also,heard from JBJ this morning and she is walking around with Buckwheat hair as she had a Brain Phart and left her brush back in Cali. Hope someone gets pictures.
While you're waiting, would you & WD see what you can do to drum up a bit of rain 'round here? A nice rain dance to, say, "Macho Man" would be good.
I hope JBJ treats herself to a nice hot oil treatment. I hear the humidity in Phoenix (nods to Miss MaryS) is in the low 20's and even in the teens! That's brutal even if you have a hair brush.
Hmmm, The Sir Biddle Theme Song?? We'll see what we can do. I think Odie borrowed JBJ's brush to impress the Ladies.
That's going to be me around 2 this afternoon. Been up since 3am – don't know why but, whoomp, there it is.
Very strong coffee is brewing and I'm wondering (a) where is our IV set-up and (2) did Truth pass is IV exam yet?
It's going to reach 85 today. Our low of 72 was about 10 minutes ago. There's a 30% chance of rain & 67% humidity. Hope everybody has a lovely day.
