Here’s Johnny–and Bonnie!

dugg it

Lettin’ my hair down…………..

Dugg!
Thanks nahant

Eureka!

dugg, thanks for opening it nahant

excellent choice for a sunday nite, es. tis a fav - thank you

Perfect! Me too.

Evening ES how are you doing this evening… or should I say morning for you??

Tsk–double Digg–the Digg button says it’s mine

I Dugg yours anyway.

Couldn’t be better, nahant. It’s another gorgeous night in hillbilly heaven.

dugg both diggs

nice tune ES

The Digg is fixed.

Okay, then. So what’s on my mind? I’m maxing out on political disappointment and screwery. I will vote. But for this weekend: I talked to my sister on the other coast, taught my daughter to make enchiladas and how to cook a beef brisket (thanks Kathy S. for teaching me back in 1979 or so), just enjoyed playing. And thanked myself for putting in air conditioning when I had to replace a 40 year old furnace. Yes, I know it uses fuel, but I got tired of sweating. I hope you all did some fun things, too. Nurturance may be an important part of this year’s election cycle.

Thanks, and both of my favorite singers on this particular song.

Same here… weather has cooled down like it is supposed here in the Bay Area… thank god that heat was a bit too much… Even my Tomatoes were complaining and the crook neck squash was wilting every day…. Oh I hope that lurker doesn’t come back and berate me over using GOD …

i packed the linen closet and am doing laundry, packing the stuff that can be packed. bathroom has been emptied except for necessaries.

not fun but it wasn’t politics :)

I will make enchiladas for you in Tuscany, Dearie. We’ll grow the right peppers in our garden.

It occurred to me this weekend how little action we are going to see for the rest of the year since congress will be out much of the time or with an luck they will be stalling until next year.

And here I sit ready for the next battle, not sure what’s the best one.

Thanks Lurking Mod

Here ya go, have a semi-sweet chocolate cookie

Don’t know if it has any pecans in it, though

I may never tire of seeing your warning, nahant. Especially in digg comments.

Suzanne, please take over - I have to find some milk right now!
Thank you.

So you’ve been using that disclaimer for a few days now.
Has any of your mail been tampered with, or any strange noises around your property?

*strapping into mod chair*

ok but this time, try to not go to wisconsin for the milk

I figure it will get more notice if I also post it for every Digg I digg. Now all we have to do is fight to get that law repealed and those traitors of the Constitution replaced with ones who will Uphold and Protect the Constitution.. Ya know like the Oath they took and Swore to!

How do you permanently embed that text into your email?

Not yet but you never know… But if I detect it I will fight back as best I can…

hi friends. click on my name to enter a cartoon caption contest!

I agree 100 percent, nahant

but it will take some doing

Thanks, ES, for recalling my dream of taking a whole band of FDLers to Tuscany…..nice dream. But…smile with me…enchiladas in Italy would remind me of our idiot-in-chief calling out to Berlusconi, “Hey, Amigo!” [I don’t want to be wishing my life away, but can January ‘09 come soon enough?!!!]

And, ditto, re nahant’s warning. I thrive on it. Don’t quit on me, nahant. Your warning is just an amazing reminder of where we are and that we need to stay alert.

Yeah but they just swore to God.
They didn’t do the super duper
Cross my heart
Hope to die
Stick-a-needle-in-my-eye
swear.

I use Outlook and it is my signature instead of my name… or you can just copy it to notepad save it on your desktop (where it is handy) and just copy it into each piece of mail you send… real simple…

clicking (and waving hi)

That is some kind of scandalous New Yorker cover. I bet the Obama folks are peeved.

I wonder how it would feel to be a law studenr right now, studying Constitutional law, while Congress and the preznit pass a statute that flies in the face of the Fourth Amendment. Wonder what law professors are telling their students to expect the courts to do.

I’m just glad I didn’t take Constitutional Law from Professor lecturer Obama.

Next on Fox News: Who hates America more, Barack or Michelle? And when did they stop eating babies?

Or how about this - applying for a position in the Honors or SLIP program, knowing all that…

Oh I got the first entr.. I just know I will have a few more..)

law student

still have a splint on one finger

We will do what we do best and make a fuss and work against those traitors… The Lake is a very good way to et that done, what with all these fine Pups working together… The Lake is getting a lot of notice these days! And Neuro all our digging helps. So when you do open a new Digg try and get peoples attention with you opener and don’t forget the Spotlight link.. you can use that forum to send to up to 10 news outlets at a time… It takes a little more work and you need to get their attention but with a little practice it doesn’t take long at all…

ouch

yes, they are, per huffpo’s header. But it’s out there. Best to laugh at it–and defuse it, than pout and feed the trolls. I hope u left a comment there, hannibal! I;m still laughing!

LMAO!!! dam that would make them stick to it!!

Actually, it’s probably better we do it first. In the general season that is.

When did Rupert Muddock purchase the New Yorker?

hooray!! Looking forward to reading them. And now i HAVE to get my work done! g’nite, all
*poof*

So happy you sold the little cottage, Suz.

I did see that and it’s just another Rethuglian MSM doing the bidding of the rich owners who are afraid Obama will raise their taxes just like they need to be raised…. back to the Tax rates under FDR!! That would go for the Corporations also… They all get away with paying a trickle of what they should!!
At the end of WWII the corporations were paying around 47% of the overall tax burden… now they pay less than 7% and some pay 0% thanks to Ragun and the Rethuglians..

thanks loohoo

Night Laura don’t stay up too late working… you do need to sleep so you can keep your mind sharp as a tack!

nite laura
as always…

Hey Hey Enn ness Say
How many panties did you sniff today?
One, two, three, four
Hey! Mama tole you to close her drawer!

g’nite laurad

That is a great idea. I love seeing the winners of the New Yorker caption contest.

Not to be contrary, but I love the New Yorker cover! If not now, when? Had to come out for public discussion. And it brings up every possible issue RIGHT NOW!

Margot — you sassy! — I approve!

It’s twue. It’s twue.

I pissed off.

Hey Loo Hoo! Just patroling the C-Span video archives today-
Got a slight funny for you.
Click here and click on the “People” tab, scroll down and look adjacent to Issa’s name…
:-)

Evening all.

Suz,
What’s your throw away policy:
Keep it all
Discard a lot, or
Scarlett Ohara (think about it tomorrow)?

I hate the YouTube comment system sometimes. It lets me know when some asswipe has replied to something I don’t even remember writing. And it’s never even a halfway intelligent reply. It’s always some right winger, who worships at the altar of the free market, or wears Jesus Christ underoos or some shit. I just wish they’d learn to spell.

done! **steam still coming outta my ears**

Hey nahant…An amazing discovery. people said peas have to dry before you plant them…well guess what I found some peas in the pos I bought a month or so ago at FM, the pods had started to rpt, the peas sprouted and were feeding on them, perfect to plant! That’s the good news..I’m gonna skip the bad news suffice to say when America wakes up to what has been done to their country by Bushco I ain’t gonna be pretty.
I was driving behind a McCain bumper sticker it also jad “Don’t Believe the liberal media”!!!! I almost fell out of the car lala land.

i purged a lotta stuff when i moved up here 5 years ago. this time, most everything in the house is going. i’m giong through my clothes and purging stuff.

i tend to wanna be katie scarlet o’hara but figure if i do a little bit each night, it breaks it down to into not so big scary job but more like a series of baby steps.

You can disable reply notifications in youtube settings (or whatever it’s called)

Gubenatorial candidate…haw! Twas a pity to watch him cry when he realized Schwartz was in the game…

Not that you asked…..but, Suz, toss anything that doesn’t grab you first. When I moved home to CA after 25 years in the Midwest, I just sold/donated/tossed with abandon. The only thing I regret is that I somehow lost track of a wonderful pan that I used to use to make lobster broth. You gotta laugh. I’m not making much lobster anything anymore, but I still wonder what I did with that pan. Haven’t missed anything else!

Twas a pity to watch him cry…

And by pity, you mean that you only could see it once? :-)

It’s not reply notifications, they’re just there in the inbox, and I can’t resist reading the fucking things.

they are so uneducated they don’t even know how to use spell check /S

when i moved up here i lost two boxes. one had all my christmas stuff in it, decorations from when the girls were babies and before they were even twinkles in their daddies’ eyes.

and i lost all my pots and pans and bakeware. the kitchen stuff is what is miss most. i only miss the other box during the holidays but i miss my cookie sheets, cast iron skillets, etc., all year long

Storage apple boxes…I been doin the okie thang all my life…I keep an appliance dolly..please not again. Little at a time is good 1000 square feet hols a lot of stuff if you are apack rat. garage sale is good too say good bye and make some gas money

Just keep reminding yourself of two things:

1. If you haven’t worn it or enjoyed it for a year, you don’t need it

2. Each item you give away gives you another sense of freedom

just goes to show you they be learning at the school of bushco and dey tink dey be so smart!!

Did he really cry? (say yes - please)

When I came out to California from Maine I only took what would fit in the trunk of my 73 Impala…wasn’t much and now all of that is gone… they are just things and things CAN be replaced… now pets that is a whole different story!

yeap.

i’ve never been brutal with clothing other than if it doesn’t fit. but i’ve got stuff in my closet that i wore in the 70’s (and still wear occasionally). some stuff is keepers, like the dress from the bride’s wedding, my class a inspection uniform - but most everything i’ve got i wear. except dresses and they are old but still got some miles left on them.

most of the important memory stuff is in a large cedar chest and a smaller one. i’m just debating whether or not i wanna move the very large red sofa or should donate it and get one when i get up there that fits where i am. i’m leaning towards donating it.

I drove out to CA for a quick visit with three days worth of clothing.. stayed almost ten years. Seriously under packed that move.

Get your helmet on and take your protien pill. Blackjack went to the kiddie party as an observer today. No steriods this morning so not very active. We be very sweet to him no appetite today maybe tomorrow. Patience and kindliness is what I can give. Walked to and from the car and watched with interst as I fixed his trailer wheel axle. We go to farmer’s Maeket tommorow. 2 blocks away then to the bay.

I was going to say, ‘new stuff’ ‘new adventures’ ‘new ideas’ — LooHoo already said it all. I got nothin’

Yes. The creepy fucker cried.

Sounds like it… but when moving from Maine I was able to ditch all those COLD weather stuff… sure made my wardrobe a lot smaller:>)

In his defense, all San Diego Republicans are creepy fuckers.

It is real, Issa crying over not getting Governor…can’t find it right now googling and youtubing…

The irony is I ended up starting a clothing business.

Shit No sound… you had my hopes up Newton…

That made me laugh! I’m a packrat by nature, but just going with the flow is such a goooood idea. And I’m sure you did fine with a 3-day wardrobe. :)

i’ve got two seasons of clothing - hot and cold. gonna need the cold up there so it’s going with the furniture along with a lot of the summer stuff. will keep a couple pair of sweats here for just in case.

You call that a defense /s

Excellent find, newtonusr.

Of all things… bet you didn’t think that would happen..

I’m back. You guys have me laughing over there. Hannibal, may i post yours for you…?

And here’s the video, pups. Like a baby…
4:34 in…
:)

What’s on my mind tonight? Joe Barr and my sister’s rabbit both died on Friday. That plus the slow, agonizing death of the Fourth Amendment have left me drained of any interest in anything serious, I guess.

How’s everyone else?

I got offered a job in Melvin Belli’s office building.. Which meant I would have had to buy new clothing anyway.

Coincidently.. I missed Suzanne (yes, our Suzanne) by just a few years. She worked in the same building.

Well there’s some good news. Not the crying, but the reason behind it.

speaking of packing.. i’m off to do some more. g’nite all

He was sure was in Good Company:>)

Goodnight, Suzanne.

Issa is such a clown car.

nite suz!

Night Suz… Do get plenty of rest also.. you will need it..

g’nite Suzanne.

It’s the only one there is. Take a look at this if you don’t believe me.

That’s a bit of an undersell, Mary. If I were a clown car, I’d be insulted!

belli was convinced the transamerica pyramid would fall over and squash his little building. i worked for a lawyer on the 3rd floor and we had a loft with a roof garden and would run down to melvin’s office to use their photocopier. worked there for a year and left when i had my first child - now known as the bride.

(poofing for realsies)

Excellent!

G’nite Suzanne……pack happily. Adventures ahead.

True. Moves are like marathons, except the people who do them are seldom in shape for them.

Take a look at this tomato that Ron grew. I will give $5 to anyone who can guess what we named.

Can someone tell me how to contact AdAstra, who sometimes comments here?

Bob in HI

Nite Suz.

Yeah, but if the clown car had really strong springs to eject a passenger…

Not to get all new-agey, but there seems to be a band in which we ‘work’ — connections get made. I’ve experienced it over my life and my kids are experiencing it now……people they meet are old friends’ cousins, for example. It is wonderfully eerie and cheerfully delightful. and downright funny. More, more!

On campus at U of Oregon I swang by the Law school and they were playing poker…did not want to have that major. The jounalism department had bad vibes.

That’s awful the rethuglian is an insult to my family name just as his dad is… same mold both stupid assholes who like every rehtuglian only want more $$$ and take it from the backs of the working middleclass…

balls-a-lot?
