Ya I know… Camera is broken lol excuses excuses

Let’s start with this one.

hey suzanne.

Wigwam’s excellent diary could use some Recommend-Love, here.

Hey Betsy, how did therapy go today?

Evening, all…

Dang it, I forgot you were up tonight Suzanne!
I guess it’s Hi and Bye tonight.
Good night Pups, been a long week.

*waving* howdy, pups, welcome to the no more drama zone

it was a bust. they don’t offer the kinds of machine my doc wants me to get. and i skipped chiropractor cause i had to take texteen to his doc and make sure he just has a cold and not flu or strep.

sleep well busted

G’nite, Busted.

g’nite busted

I guess that explains why you didn’t need a ride back.

funny you should bring that up, growing up friends of my sister wrote and performed that song in early sixties. A one wonder hit!!!

Read it, and agree. But, alas, I canceled my membership there a long time ago.

baby girl called me today tex – she finally started ralphing after feeling poorly for a couple days.

yeah. meant to call. sorry.

day was mostly a waste. barely did anything for work. didn’t swim. made lots of tea. and did a lot of blogging.

uh oh! stomach flu?

a bug of some sort – hard to diagnose as mom when i’m 1,000 miles away

so, did i miss anything today?

all of Simpsons season 8 playing on the computer in TexTeen’s room….

Sigh,
Hello, Friend.

anyone want cake?

hello friend – how was your day?

Dam bugs are everywhere.. I stated one yesterday and by this morning I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest… coughing is a bitch… so I calls the advice nurse and she wants me to go the store and buy some OTC crap and I says very politely no f’ing way am I getting in a car and drive anywhere. I know my body so I tell her I am starting Prednisone so my asthma doesn’t kick in. Then told her get me an appointment to see the Doc in the AM…really didn’t give her a choice… So with said steroid in system the elephant has turned into a small dog…coughing still sucks but still better that earlier.

Oh yes, tiny sliver please (watching my figure..).

nahant, hope it gets better soon!

My day is always like putting out fires — just one crisis after another.

Dam “stated” should have been STARTED…fingers just doing what they want as usual

bandages and anti-bacterial cream are located at all brain bleach stations for those walking wounded after today’s threads

Thanks properly used steroids are wonder drugs… haven’t had to use them since 2003…knock on wood

And always about the arts, and how politics affect them.

time for me to call it a night. lots to do tomorrow and a teen home sick. night all

I just lurked as brain was not functioning very well and yes some may need more than a few bandages… Major surgeroy for some >:)

Pain free sleep Betsy

pain free sleep wishes, tex

Suz- I need a good shoulder massage!

Thanks for the link – left as snarky a comment that wrote it itself regarding my disillusionment/disgust with Pelosi and her enabler Steney Hoyer. Shame on both of them.

you must learn to sit properly at the keyboard to avoid strains, vg (wink wink) is there a masseuse in the house?

turns out my mother was right (about that)

thanks all.

Sleep well and free of pain, TB.

Sorry to read of the docs’ cluster-* today…

Had no idea about Mary J. until this showed here, Suzanne.
One
Terrific.

mary j doing family affair

This is what the lake was like today: A jungle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJhAyg2LTEk

Sleep well Betsy -

Valley Girl – recommend a heating pad to your dear shoulders stat. Sure works for me – on high of course – ahhhhhh – kind of a band aid but usually soothing. ;~)

Is it safe to come out yet?

it was this VH1 diva’s concert that i first saw and heard mary j – doing this song with whitney houston

aint no way

good evening, everyone!

What’s up with Boosh denying Amy Winehouse a visa for the Grammys, anyway? This really makes me feel like we like in a police state.

The statement didn’t say why her application was rejected. The U.S. Embassy in London and the State Department in Washington declined to comment late Thursday. Shane O’Neill, Winehouse’s spokesman, said he had nothing to add.
Los Angeles immigration lawyer Bernie Wolfsdorf called it surprising that Winehouse wasn’t able to obtain a visa. Although she has a marijuana arrest on her record that could be used for exclusion from the United States, Wolfsdorf said it is commonplace for entertainers to be granted a waiver for such an offense, particularly if they are just making a quick visit to appear at an awards show.
“I am going to say it appears to be an aberration at this time compared to the situation of many others. The list of British rock stars with pot convictions is longer than my arm,” said Wolfsdorf, vice president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
He said it is possible, however, that Winehouse’s drug transgressions were so recent that authorities are reluctant to grant her a visa until she demonstrates more fully that “she has moved toward the path of rehabilitation.”

Between this news today, and yesterday’s leases to drill for oil right where the polar bears live, and the DEA terrifying all the landlords of all the medical marijuana dispensaries in San Francisco so that they evict their tenants, I’m starting to believe that the last Boosh year may very well be the most hellish here at home, if that’s even remotely possible.

They see their time among us ending, the evil Booshies do, and they are doing their best to make our lives awful in as many ways as possible. I always thought this psychopath Boosh would find good use for the boxcars, and I’m still convinced he will.

Anything happening here at the Lake? *g*

no – boss man gets to stay in the closet so the pups can play

RBG is in the closet?

Like the streets of Kosovo.

he is the one who asked if he could come out of the closet, teddy

You’re welcome….try the veal.

This really makes me feel like we like in a police state.

‘Smatta, you didn’t get the notice?

OH CRAP – strike my last.. he did not say that…

geez louise, i’m sorry

downstairs, we had a report of a huge raid going on in LA area with Homeland Security.

You never could keep a secret, could you?

Me too, Teddy. Really wishing I had an EU or Canadian passport…

Can we have an entire round of sensitive and touchy “was that homophobic” commentary now, please? *g*

I’ll just be over here under this rock

I was out all day and missed most of the brouhaha. Trying to catch up now.

G’nite Tex!

Can we have an entire round of sensitive and touchy “was that homophobic” commentary now, please? *g*

So long as you won’t call me “gay” in the morning…

nooooooooooooooooooooo

i confessed – should i have self-spanked too?

Can I have a sec to check the mod manual and confirm if that’s an appropriate topic for this blog?

*head hanging in shame*

i’ll be over at the whipping post

That I gotta see… boy Suz you are on a roll :>)

I heard. And that big org crime round-up in NY all of a sudden.

Did you know they had a problem with that there [gum cracking]?

I fear that what began in spite is likely to end that way as well.

go ahead, hit me with your best shot

cause, i know love hurts

i’ll be over at the whipping post

Now you’re talking like a San Franciscan!

pitching, or catching?

With me too…

Oooo… good quarter!

I’ve got the possible canadian passport option now, as i’ve found out. I’m just not able to afford it entirely yet. Unless i asked my canadian family for a bit of monetary help to get that all set. It won’t cost too much, aside from the trip to Buffalo i likely will have to make. Pleasant surprise that i can have dual citizenship.

I’m scared as hell when i look at things, but i’m staying for now. But i’ve got an out at the least. I’ve got family on this side of the border too!

Now don’t get CTut and me in trouble here.

wink wink

Wigwam’s excellent diary could use some Recommend-Love, here.

Thanks, Newt. There was something very cathartic about realizing that Pelosi is a war criminal under the principles of international law that were understood (but not necessarily codified) at the end of WWII. My normal feeling about these things is like the title of that Ellison short story, “I Have No Mouth and I Have to Scream.”

npb- ah! thanks for the reminder. I can do that!!!!

Is it opening day?

from what i heard, we will now need permission to come back into this country when abroad (can’t remember what paper i read that in – perhaps the nyt?)

Now don’t get CTut and I in trouble here.

I’m sorry

[hangs head]

Does this mean I have to go to the whipping post, too?

(…please….)

Our script is running as we detailed it, what, 45 days ago?
McCain is the one.
Happy to see you get that up at Kos.

Hey Christine, and Suz… will this help?

No. The refrigerator.

a sadist would say no

Noooo!

chocolate always makes things better

thanks wangdang

You guys fracture me & on that happy note I’m off to bed & catch Jon Stewart on da TV with mrbrat. Sweet dreams Suz and all you endearing late late niters.

So I missed a bunch of last night about cold treatment. Is tonight the night for Heat Treatment?

G’nite newspaperbrat. Sweet dreams.

RBG!!!! now this is like, weird.

But, I went to YouTube to check out the mod theme. And then I saw one of my fave Shirelle songs- “Will you still love me tomorrow” and listened. And, YouTube being what it is, I found a version by Amy Winehouse, which blew me away. No, I’ve established that it is not a full moon.

But, here’s Amy Winehouse, via YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDXgKIpJyIk

Thanks again. I’m now a bit surprised that we were right, because I expected a lot more heavy-weight funding and editorial support for McCain coming from the neocon corner. But still the process of elimination has pointed to him for a long time.

This kind of whipping post?

a sadist would say no

busted….

it was a fair cop, and society’s entirely to blame

g’nite npb

And can we all sing a nice chorus of Christine Lavin’s
“Sensitive New Age Guy”?

That’s the coolest thing about yougling, you never know what you’ll find.

I like this version! I hope Amy gets her probs sorted out.

He’s riding the peristaltic wave…

stick to the plan dood

They’re trying to enact the REAL ID bullcrap, MI’s one of the state’s stalling it. Since it also means trade getting screwed over in teh states themselves along with the passport idiocy screwing over border towns. There’s always bits of paperwork to fill out on international flights, but the new crap is just utterly insane!

I hate isolation of this stripe, i really do. That’s even more scary to me than a lot of other things. Because my canadian family is as dear to me as my american side as well. Which is why i can work with the Dual Citizenship thing.

Funding or no, the others crumpled. Money couldn’t save Huck or Rudy, and it certainly didn’t save Mitt.
Last man standing, money or not. Did you see him get booed at CPAC today? They would love to hate him, but they know damned well he’s their only hope.

Any one need more cheap wine while I’m up? Or should I just bring the whole 5L box?

*innocent look*

i linked to the allman brothers

that’s my story and i’m sticking to it

are there discounts for bulk buying and can we use it to fill the hot tub with?

Raise your glass
To the Salt of the Earth

It’s worse than you think, alias.

Beats hell out of Wesson oil!

*clink*

I’d like to proclaim this the death of the Republican party, but I made that mistake in ‘64.

I loved the look on Old Lord McCain’s face when they booed him: “Didn’t the registrars TELL you people not to boo me?”

fuck that shit. ain’t no one getting a look at my tat unless i give them forking permission – or as part of a legal booking procedure.

And, oh yeah, kudos to FDL, bec. that’s where I discovered YouTube. Did you mean Youtubeling? I like it. ;)

made me smile for sure teddy

Nice find.

It may not be a full moon, but I’m sure feeling like this is appropriate tonight.

Interesting the parallels, though: both non-natural born Arizona Senators.

Only two duggs?

Nah, they’re alive and well. As long as the country responds predictably to the terror siren, we haven’t made significant moves away from them.

googling yougling youtubeling. it’s all good. ;)

i’ve had several posts the pups have not dugg at all teddy. getting used to being invisible down here in the dark hours.

Good point.

One thing that pisses me off is listening to pundits explaining that McCain is going to have to appease his displeased conservative base via a number of concessions, starting with the choice of VP. I never hear that Obama and/or Clinton will have to appease their party’s liberal/progressive base. In fact, it’s assumed that they are too liberal already and will probably have to select someone like Rahm to balance their ticket. FUCK IT!

Oh HELL yeah, turn it up!!

i wudda figured you wudda gone more in this vein

I guess I should sign up to be a digger…

Oh yeah baby. Anyone else see ‘em at he Armadillo?

RBG!!! love that YouTube ! Do we need a contest to find the best er… mod support song? Ah woooo!

i’ll put a spell on you

That one used to be way up on the list but these days:

There seem to be plenty of the first around these parts.

The second have to be locked up at all times for fear of what I might do in a moment of pique.

And…there just ain’t enough of the last one to spread around very far.

On the other hand….there’s always hope.

wigwam, I made a slight edit to your comment:

uhhh…pardon teh stupid…but i still don’t know how to digg

(part of that whole “love your mother don’t rip into her with a shovel” thing)

if anyone could tell me how (or point me inthe direction of info) i’d be grateful

PS – please don’t tell anyone who front pages here at any time – just too embarrassing

spew

(pout) I can’t be wangdangdoodle at digg. Someone stole me.

I leave for 20 minutes and the place goes all to hell.

We can’t have nice things…

*whispering to kirk*

sign up – give a fake name/dob and/or city
(digg thinks i’m 82) and then you can digg

click on the digg button and it will walk you through it, kirk – pretty painless

and your secret is safe – i’ wont tell a soul

patrick! dood, how ya been

133, 132, 133

Let’s do the time warp again…

Sherry

*whispering to suz*

thanks!

we’re all lucky (evil laugh)

Real good. You are splashy as always.

I would have commented earlier. but I couldn’t get the / between the 4 and the 4.

Oh take me back, I love this!

my mom used to work as a cocktail waitress back in the early 60’s as a place called sherry’s down in the san diego area

jay and the american’s played it semi-regularly.

ROFLMAO!!!

Hiya P4/4

picky dayam thang

whazzup?

I don’t lie the idea that the FBI wants to gather such personal info on citizens especially law abiding ones… there is also this from Jane Harmon The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpo…..55_rfs.xml

wow!
The closest I came to seeing someone famous was Greer Garson. zzzzzzzzz

(smiling happy smile)

dayam, tis a fine forking nite after one hella day – hell, one hella week

My fiance saw a picture of my new doctor in the paper today and is not sure I should continue to see him.

Hiya yourself.

I’m much o-blige-d to Suzanne for the vid – if the O isn’t a hidden reference to any political candidate who rhymes with drama.

greer garson beats my mom serving beers to the band, margot.

Not even me??

I’m basking in the glow of finally voting in a CA primary that mattered – even if it wasn’t decisive.

no, nahant, i can’t tell you that kirk did not know how to digg – i promised!

My mom called from Virginia today entirely atwitter because her primary matters. I think people are getting really excited, and that’s a good thang.

Yep – just a follow-up to AETA.

I feel safer already, don’t you?

if you’re a megacorp….

What’s this shit about not being able to be 4/4?

Dam I got the hint… dugg it

ZOMG – Your kung fu is greater than my kung fu!

bloody hell. That’s a recipe for disaster!

Is that a mod-inserted slash I see, or are you just glad to see me?

spew spew spew

dayammit, i’ve woken the dog and my sides hurt

thanks, ya’ll, i sure as hell needed some laughter tonight

Now is there anyway I can manage a zig and break the margins?

Where is TLM?

we patrick 4/4 proofed while you were gone

All of which reminds me to point out: If somebody waterboarded a dog, they’d go to jail.

Happyhappyjoyjoy!

Let’s

see

if

we

can

do

it.

p4/4, what was the record and do you still have a pic of that screen capture?

Suz, I hope Friday’s a better day in all respects – you deserve it!

Teddy, I hope Dr. Loftus gives you a lift (health-wise, of course).

And pups, I hope you all have a good night.

Remember: good citizens obey corporations – terrorists defy them. Be good – or be Right!

Uh… Patrick 4/4 — don’t I know you from somewhere?

taking glare off stun

showoff

Well lets see NSA has us all tapped and now they are going to look and see if we are a grassroots thingy looking to change OUR government?? yep POLICE STATE if ever there is an apt definition for it… Not what I did my military time for…
Investigate!
Impeach!
Incarcerate!
Extraordinary Rendition to the Hague for crimes against Humanity and war crimes!!

You are a goddess.

I can only afford so many monitors!

Oh Teddy, someone has to see the poor beat-up looking doctor. Soldier on, dude! ;-)

Believe me, I’m looking.

thank you and g’nite kirk

remember, bear creek pups meet up 3/2 – afternoon – details to follow

Aaahhh… old times!

From here?

*Cousin It voice*
Hello, Margot.

For those on FDL time or earlier:
Happy Chinese New Year. Welcome to the Year of the Rat!

Zig makes me homesick, or nostalgic, or sumptin. Remember Suzanne had her standard warning comment “Quoting quoted comments will cause your comment to break the margins….” or however it went?

LOL
I don’t remember Cousin It’s voice.
Lurch, I remember.
“You rang?”

Watertiger makes a wish

Ziggy Stardust.

Lurch and cousin It were played by the same actor.

I had to actually ask Suzanne if it caused a problem with FDL, or if it just made people’s browsers freak out.

The Chinese were so prescient, to name an entire year after our Alaska GOP politicians.

Hiya ET!

i remember banging my head a lot on the keyboard and groaning from having to continually fix quotes that quoted quotes that contained a link that quoted comments that contained a link.

oy

uh… no… faulty memory…. thinking about Robert Rodriguez campaign, etc. and some comments there. I have obviously confused you with someone else.

No way! Really? It was so short…

hey ET – iirc, mccain turns out to be considered a rat in chinese too.

“and they’ll tell two friends, and they’ll tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on…”

TSF- yeah! Sigh. Nostalgia. Punaise coined the term, irrc. I mean, in an FDL context.

Silly VG – it’s me. I was making a /joke.

My usual 14-hour Thursday workday turned into 16 hours today. Now I’m home, in my shop, emptying ashes from the woodstove, heating it up, making my dog’s home by the lake warm with the fire…

Shizer its pumpkin time for gotta get my butt up early to go see the doc so Good night all you good and fine firepups… see ya on the next late late late night show staring the illustrious Suzanne :>)

Big celebration up the street this weekend. Fireworks, dragon dance, music…

But don’t you keep telling me you don’t understand html?

g’nite nahant and fingers and toes crossed tomorrow’s doc appt is all good news

fork

Tere was supposed to be a linky in there…

Absolutely. Hands on screens folks.

Ruh roh.

busted

G’nite nahant, sleep tight.

Great to see you Patrick 4/4. I don’t normally stay up for late nite these days. Yeah, I thought it was you. ;)

It was getting too quiet in here…

hand on monitor

Not cousin It, sorry. It was Thing and Lurch.

i think they are getting their chairs and popcorn set up

Wait, I’m having a senior moment… wasn’t Thing the hand?

He’s even shorter.

Not cousin It, sorry. It was Thing and Lurch.

Damned straight!

You would say popcorn. I wonder if I can make any without making any noise?

that would be corn flakes

Okay, I’m going to bed now.

Hope tomorrow is a little more. um, collegial hereabouts.

Aha, ok! I didn’t know that.

g’nite teddy

Sorry, but the mod manual specifically says that “It” is not an appropriate topic for this blog.

G’nite Teddy, I hope so too.

fork it

Alive and well and healthy as hell I be Jammin hope your jammin too

Well, I been googling and it is actually Itt. Are we proper now?

With a stick. Then cuff it, Suz…

Whoa! You’re up to post #8. Only 220 to go. *g*

We are not allowed to vary from the manual, and “Itt” isn’t in there. Guess we’re safe.

omg! like, you are cracking me up man. We are all about “It”. Please adjust the track lighting! ;)

press hard – 4 copies

yessssss. dodged the bullet!

*paging steve audio – steve audio to the thread*

I have no idea what this means but it (itt) is as funny as hell.

Yamashita Standard..delightful it’s delovely,, it’s awful nice it’s paradise…execution…oh yes I remember the cove of Life with a GI’s head with a ten penny nail driven into the top of his skulls and an exray showing it between the cerebral lobes. I was 7 years old cannot forget how we disdained torture, at least all those hard working Annies’ waing for their boys to come home

I forgot about the prints. And I left the business before we had to be DNA-trained…

My wilderness-trekking friends are thinking of moving further on this weekend.

cop joke

when handing the traffic citation to the driver, i would say, signing this is not an admission of guilt, it is a promise to appear at the date and time indicated below. press hard, 4 copies, line 24 (or was it line 27)

Suz- that was / is a classic FDLism – I remember it so well! press hard, 4 copies. LOL.

I had a feeling it had something to do with forms.

What about – May we search your trunk?

original to the court
copy to the department record keepers
copy for driver
copy for officer’s own record

Cool anemones!

i preferred you don’t mind if i search your car do you

Der Boof has something to say…

oikdiotgfijdo 0ppptypip=’6t0gv9njdjcbkvv

..ok, down kitty!

Dooood! Pelosi has “oversight responsibility” rather than “command responsibility”. But, goddamnit, those heros at the end of WWII were judicially winging it. They were prosecuting people for stuff that wasn’t yet written down but should have been. And the hung them on the basis of it.

So, I claim that “oversight responsibility” is sufficiently similar to “command responsibility” that permitting war crimes via failure to exercise that responsibility is a very serious offense of the intent of International Law. And as I said before, International Tribunals seem to have adhered to the spirit of the law but didn’t find themselves bound to the letter of the law when an obvious atrocity was involved. So: fifteen years hard labor.

oh dear

Ha!

He looks like that, only fluffier.

He’s a kitten in a cat body.

i swear

Are you sure?

wow, 2 weeks seems like a long time but then, looking at their list of things they have been doing, i wish they had 3.

still here, but writing…

East Coast should be getting up soon…

Per TPM:

The AG makes it clear: if the Justice Dept. advises that something is legal, no one can be prosecuted for following that advice — even if the DOJ’s opinion changes.

Please note that this gives the jerks the equivalent of the Nuremburg defense, “I was just following orders.” In this case it is what I’ve been calling the good-faith defense: “I took the advice of the Attorney General on good faith before waterboarding this sack of Shiite shit.”

Hey look, Attaturk is upstairs with my zed!

Yah…the corporation made me do it!!!
