Looks like summer school/detention is out for the day! It will be nice when they go back to school or the basement. Either way works for me.

Where's the RAID when we need it?
I could REALLY use something iced cold right now! Parched!
Can you gimme me Grammy
G.u.m....me granny
Sheesh, moderations....
anyone play the race on google home page? My first attempt was 17.2s
I'll try again.
Let the Flamenon anti-productivity compet i tion BEGIN!
16.6.....not much of an improvement.
14.7! In yo FACE. I see what I did wrong... hehehe
27.5 and my guy got flagged for doping. Had to return to his homeland in shame and was exiled from his family.
At least he's not charged with stabbing someone back in his home country before he started, or got sent home for stupid tweets on twitter about Africans and malaria carrying mosquitoes. Doping is normal.

Got my first side of beef this past Saturday. It's a unique feeling to open the freezer and wonder what to have for dinner. It's like being at a grocery store. Hamburger? T-Bone or Sirloin steak? When should I make that Prime Rib? I wonder how the short ribs will be? Perhaps a nice afternoon soothing meal with that stew meat?
For the record I also opted to get the beef heart and tongue as they were no extra cost. Can't wait to play with those!
Droolz....
Christmas in the freezer – sweet.
All you need now is a mood ring or two.
Oh, beef tongue tacos Salvadorian style....marinated, thin sliced and something worth chewing on.
You must have a stand alone freezer. I did slow cooker stew weekend befoe last. Awesome. Nice to be able to hang out a little more. Have a great afternoon!
Sounds a lot like bagging a deer. We always had them butchered, but the popular choice was always for making stew. Would like to do steaks some day.
Oh my, oh never mind...I can't say that here.
I like t o n u ge up my a.ss
We got the liver, too. (gross). No one I know likes it, but we figured if we couldn't give it away, we could cook up a nice and tasty snack for the dog on occasion. I'll take anything that's no extra charge and find a use for it.
You must have a TON of freezer space...
Not really, a half-sized deep freezer. in addition to the freezer half of the fridge. Looking at my post, I think I should clarify: This is 1/4 beef, not the whole thing. That's way too much, LOL.
Comes up to something 200 pounds of net meat. I like. Comes out to somewhere around $2.50 – $3.00/pound on average. Better than the $9.99/pound for t-bones at the store, I'd say. Not to mention the lack of pink slime.
Good day everyone...
I have no idea what I want to do for lunch....
Eat? Drink? Be ... Mary?
I'd pick something that won't heat up the kitchen. This week I'm all for cold, iced stuff.
Alee – I can't be Mary... I'm Mildred! :)
MicheleG – I'm in a nice air conditioned office... so the question is do I order out or get something from the eh-it's-ok cafeteria.
Order out, definetly. Life's too short for eh-its-ok cafeteria food.
Howdy all. Nice to see some here and not others. Mary's Monday mood has o-fish-ally hit the WCF. Got any 10-penny nails I can chew? Grrr.
No, but I do have my 3 year old's playdouh to smash! It is pretty calming.
Fail. Yes, now I am responding to you. I originally responded to TROLL RADAR. That is all.
A proper good morning all. I see we have some unwanted visitors today....you would think getting all snarky about the Kardashians would be enough for them without coming over here to harrass.
Does anyone know how long until the Queen's birthday?? ;)
I think it was last month...Long come and gone. You know how she hates to make a big deal out of these things...Kind of like when she and RichHead tied on the last 5@5...
Ah, OK. I guess I'll have to return her gift...
you can send it to me instead. Mine is one month from today and while the hubby celebrates his 9 days later :-D
Morning troops! It's 8 days until my birthday!!!!
Good morning your highness, and we really need to discuss some of these charges on my AMEX card...
Yeah, um, I was going to mention that. I'm sure Richard could loan you some money if you're a little short this month.

Shows like this and "Teen Mom" always make me want to put a brick through the TV. Don't get me started on Toddlers and Tieras.....
Forgot link:

Ditto that. I can't stand the Palins.
Ditto about the Palins, and I am as much a dyed in the wool Republican as you can find.
But for the record, I can do a killer impression of Amber Portwood (noted liberal stooge)
Our former babysitter loves those "Teen Mom" and the like shows. She was absolutely heartbroken she couldn't find a way to be on the show.
Our local "news" paper did a story about how there was a whole rash of local pregnancies when MTV was filming. I don't get it. The girls always wind up quitting school, the guys prove themselves to be worthless and the kid is the one who suffers. Would make me want a vasectomy after watching...
Good HOT morning!
The temp is predicted to be 108 at our front door today, and tomorrow and the next are supposed to peak at 110. Toasty.............
and the "heat index" today is supposed to be 112.
Dear god that is hot!
Oh I hear ya on that one! Sad when I have to turn on the a/c at 6 a.m....hope it's only this week. We had 105 at our house at 6 pm last night.
sympathies! Catch a breeze whenever you can!
Yeah...I stay as close to our several fans as possible and then when it finally gets just too stuffy in the house we turn on the AC. Then around dusk we throw open every possible window to let the cool night air in.
I grew up in Phoenix so this is not really a huge deal, I'm just decades out of touch with real heat. Classic August.
My sympathies to you both as well. Please stay hydrated.
We have our A/C on most of the year with only a few weeks of open-window weather.
I remember it well. Open air season was a time for celebration! I just had to book a trip to SRQ for 8/27, ugh, right smack in the middle of hurricane season. There isn't enough hairspray in the state of FL to get me to move back.
Nice way to put it. Hadn't thought of the hairspray factor but I totally get it. I use way too much anyway....
Whee doggie! Yes, you remember it well: from about ... now ... thru Halloween, any breeze you enjoy is most likely attached to tropical storm or hurricane (insert name here).
Our next door neighbors have a chihuahua that keeps the elephants away while they're working in the yard. I'll see if she can do the same for hurricanes while you're here. ;)
Our heat index is supposed to hit 102 today – w/rain.
sympathies to you, too. The rain definitely makes it worse.
In a recent survey, the majority of men who describe themselves as happy and secure grew up with at least one of these in the house:
dog?
Nope...
Parent...
Nope.....
a sister?
DINGDINGDINGDING!!!!!!!
We have a winner!
With nods and hugs to Mary Shannon...:)
Wow...didn't see that coming. I thought it was a cat. :-)
But thanks, that was what I needed, happy tears and hugs back at you, Truth.
I would have thought either a cat or a grandparent...
nice! guess my brother is in good shape then since he had three of us. hubby had two but have to wonder if age differences have any impacts...
Chainsaw?
MAC-9?
Flesh-light?
Good morning, all. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a better day today. I hope everyone's having a great week!
Good morning! One week until GenCon :-D Another cloudy day, really need some sunshine so that I can do another harvest before heading out. I have a feeling my garden watcher will be getting a huge haul next week at this rate.
Good morning all, and sleep well TX4U. Sweet dreams there.
How is everyone doing today?
@ Truth- doing well today. How are you?
Doing well, and I hope you are as well. You have my empathy for the inlaws situation you face. Been there, done that and it is rough. Like marriage in and of itself is not already difficult enough, you know?
I am doing much better. The inlaws situation is always pretty draining, but thankfully I won't have to see them again for awhile. They have been a sore spot between myself and my husband before, but now we are (mostly) able to ignore them. I have learned to shut my mouth and not bite back, as it does no good.

Ignore. Isolate. Surround and drown.
That is all.
Thanks for the delete! Nice!
It was the Troll Raid, it works...
Yep, that would be the Marquee blog trolls. Definitely ignore those witless goons.
Thanks !! Ready to get my day (night) started :-) Hope everyone has a Wonderful evening !
Morning everyone . Hope all is Well . Waitin on 8:00 so I can go to bed :-)
