Beauty, Suz!
hey newton — its been a while since i’ve done a foghorn :) glad ya like it. how ya doing tonight?
hey, guys, listen. i don’t know if any of you have heard me say that my mom always, well, not always…. but often…. told me “Beerfart, the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.” Anybody?
well, anyway, here goes…..
Aloha, Suz…! It was a fantabulous day here…! Not a drop fell, and the Merrie Monarch Parade was awesome…! ;-)
hey bfl — how ya doing tonight?
Doing well, thank you.
Watching a classic ‘toon is a Saturday Night 10pm kinda thing.
How’s it up there, Gramma?
aloha tut — it was forking gorgeous here today — i was running around without my warm granny socks. how ya doing tonight?
aw, thanks :) i’ve been told to not fuck with sat nite toons :)
i almost went with this one… another foghorn fav
The mom-to-be is gracing us with her prescence and we’re all gorging on Pizza Hut pizza…! Good times…! ;-)
what’s her descriptor this week?
pretty good. you?
Suze! Pups!
I lurvs me some Foghorn Leghorn.
evening, Suzzzz, CT — how’s everyone tonight?
and since we’re exchanging weather-y pleasantries, it was really nice in The City Beautiful, today.
doing well thanks — didn’t even have to start the fire until after 5pm :) the critters are well and my granddaughter is the cutest baby evah
RC went out at about 9:00 AM. Home about 7:00 PM. No new trauma.
hey ndfg — glad ya liked it :) how was your day?
hey ppd — how ya doing tonight?
hey wmd — that’s excellent news! how was your day?
*heh* Ya made me look…! A large Mango…! Still not a melon yet…! ;-)
My day was alright. A bit lazy.
she’s still got a ways to go…
Aloha, PPD…!
She’s definitely showing tho…! ;-)
mine was very lazy — i didn’t do a lick of housework — just kicked back and enjoyed the sunshine and all the birds flying around. the barn swallows have returned and are working on the nest under the roof peak above the bay side deck.
Incidently, I gave my flip camera it’s first real workout…! I took over 62 pixs, I’m going to pare it down and feature all the beautiful Pa’u riders, and their decorated horses, and, some other highlights and post’em for ya’ll’s enjoyment too…! ;-)
sweet…. you gonna post them online (like at flicker or picasa or one of them other photo sharing sites)?
isn’t anybody gonna ask me what my stupid question is??
One of them…! I need to see what’s compatible, and, figure out wtf to do…! I am a quick student tho…! ;-)
what’s your stupid question bfl…..
don’t forget making sure the site is on the myfdl diary approved photo site list so ya can include your photos in diaries…
Do you ever get the impression lately that the dreams of the would-be-pharohs have started to turn into their worst nightmares?
The mighty took a big hit tonight. When the wealthy and powerful become the butt of jokes, their days of hogging all the sunshine soon will give way to ostracism, with only memories of old grandeur to keep them company….
hey robert — how was your day? i hope that is their take on the nerd prom donald jokes but fear the lesson will be ignored… just as colbert was when he appeared there…
this video of seth meyers tonight at the nerd prom is outstanding — wow, i’m a new seth meyers fan
what happened to jane?
nothing — she was at the powershift thingie last week — was on the panel iirc
It is not important for the MOTUs to note the shift of the ground beneath them. They are falling into the pit, anyway, because we, through the jokes, realize they are nothing more than the frightened bullies easily deflated by the first slap across their faces….
ok. good to hear.
Nice to see we find bipartisan scabies tonight.
listen. i need to buy a book. suggestions?
glad i could help. my stupid question is what is MMT — see it on financial stuff in the diaries but have no forking clue what it means…
hey homeroid — how’s homer tonight?
what kinda book are you looking for? action? adventure? politics? romance novel? sci-fi?
May I recommend any of these fine books:

sweet! good days are always a good thing
is there a way to screen for just financial terms?
Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), Suz…! Basically, Keynes theorum’s on steroids…! ;-)
Ahh Suz tsit’s all good. Could use a hot soak but the water heater gave up the ghost. Guess that’s a Monday thing. We got rain-gotta love it.
I knew that!
aha — thanks tut.
oh noz! no hot water sucks dood. you needed rain or am i mis-remembering again?
We’re taking it one day at a time with Dad now.
makes those good days even more precious ((( ppd and family )))
God bless, PPD…! *g*
We had two birthdays and my brother’s daughter’s engagement announcement this week.
how wonderful!!!
wonderful
“Donald Trump has said he’s running for president as a Republican. Which is surprising because I thought he was running as a joke.” And another, “Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.”__Seth Meyers, White House Correspondence Dinner, April 30, 2011
forking brutal — and trump had to just sit there and take it while the media and political movers and shakers watched…
Weeks away from the dry season we need all the wet we can get. With so many chances of mishap.Fire can take out many homes. One of the last big ones was started by a guy with an angle grinder grinding metal.
when i lived in the redwoods in boulder creek, fire was a huge worry each year. wildfires are fucking scary
Meyers cracked the President up when he said, “Trump says he has a great relationship with ‘the blacks’. Sure, if ‘the blacks’ are a family of white people!”
… while the media and political movers and shakers watched…
And laughed at…! ;-)
he was fucking livid and trying to not show it…. good — i’m glad he learned what ridicule and humiliation feel like
time for some sleep — night all, be well
g’nite ppd
Pleasant dreams, PPD…! *g*
RC is laying on my lap purring. I’m pleased with him.
now you know you are forgiven for that house arrest
My maine coon (Merlin) is staring up at me. That means he wants me to come to bed….
He had seemed adjusted to it. when he went out this morning he spent a few minutes rubbing trees, fence posts, etc before he started his rounds. He felt pretty secure that he wasn’t about to be put back on house arrest.
RC wants me to go to bed too.
g’nite wmd — glad he forgave ya
Good night. Now how do I get this Gizmo out of my lap…
*sigh* I’m so jealous…! I truly miss having any pet whatsoever where I reside now…! I’m known as Dr. Doolittle, I’ve had most species of pets, ranging from cows to tarantulas, and, they all recognized and loved me…! ;-)
My Sweety used to beg me me to come to bed like that. She used to purr, too….
merlin’s a great name for a cat.. esp a maine coon
i was 11 years in an apt with no pets (and no fireplace). when i bought the cabin (with fireplace), i got bailey cat within a few months — and token a year later. it was a dayam good feeling to not be jonesin for critters again
Our cats could care about me, but when my sweetie comes back from a week working in the villages, they crawl all over her. Almost makes me jealous.
My town today.
hey et — how ya doing tonight?
One cannot own a cat. They own you.
Whenever The Sweety cooks, Merlin perches on the top of the banister in the living room.
We had shake N bake chicken tonight. She filled his plate with morsels; yet he still begged for scraps from our plates like my long deceased collie (Teddy) used to.
Sometimes I think Merlin is Teddy reincarnated….He always seemed to envy (and scarf) the cats’ food. He even tried often to lick himself clean like them….
true dat — bailey cat doesn’t consider herself mine — she considers me hers
How very true…! ;-)
Got that right. Anyone visiting earth from another planet might ask our cat to take him or her to the leader, rather than ask the same to a person.
Hiya, Suzanne. Chilly April almost over. Hopefully, May will be a big improvement.
tis warming up down here — finally. just have to get through tonight’s frost advisory.
Aloha, ET…! You take a gander at my latest offering…?
If’t only our leaders would keep their hair out of our noses we could get along much better.
’bout time for me to turn back into a pumpkin folks. thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight.
g’nite al
Sweet Dreams, Suz…! *g*
Nite Suz
Is there a prize for always being the last?
I wish…! I’d have racked up a mighty impressive array…! ;-)
Great diary. I left a comment and recc.
Not really, as Alaskans and Hawaiians have an unfair advantage unless the thread lasts into morning.
