How cool!
I didn’t know Roger Daltry was actually Sir Roger…
Hi Suz!

hey newton — glad ya liked it — my unka leonard turned me onto bettye — i forking love her voice. how was your day?

hi Suz,

hey wmd — how ya doing tonight?

It was a good day, thank you Suz – a setup day for tomorrow’s full install. I love days when I leave at 8 and don’t get home until way past dark.

How’s Jen and grandbaby and grandma?

I’m a bit preocupied, RC has been out since Monday morning, haven’t seen him since.

This is about as long as he’s ever been gone.

we are all hanging in — that’s gonna be a long forking day dood. this first week after the spring time change is always a hard one and to toss a huge day like that — im glad its not me *ducking*

I had an excellent weekend though, borrowed a motorcycle and tore up the hills.

Good evening Suzanne & everyone.

oh my — the longest bailey cat has poofed is 4 days…. i know that worry (((wmd)))

sweet!!! first ride since your hip surgery?

hey ecahn — how ya doing tonight?

Yup. There is nothing better than doing what you love without pain.

no kidding! no pain, no restrictions…. good times

President Santorum? So this was what the Mayans prophesied as the end of the world as we know it….

Hi everyone.

Now you too can delight in the flavor of santorum, without the anal sex.

hey robert — how goes the rebuild of the house?

hey tuez — how was your day?

Poor Gingrich: loved only by skanks, reprobates and meatheads.

hey hannibal — i’ll pass *shrudder* how ya doing tonight?

On the recovery side of a cold, which has messed up my sleep patterns bigtime. I had a drawful of OTC meds that everyone had told me about. Took Nyquil over the weekend. That stuff is toxic. Couldn’t wake up during the day. Threw the rest out.

10 days, as usual, despite “treatments.” Next time I’ll do my usual: no treatment, still takes 10 days and involves no disgusting chemicals.

I heard you messed up your leg? How’s that doing?

LLN!!

That was really funny.

Not sure what that says about my sense of humor.

Restoration crew claims job is half completed. Temporarily living in a rural townhouse away from the city lights. Can actually see the millions of stars in the night sky….

i’m still stuck in a hospital bed until mid may at the earliest. i see the ortho tomorrow but i think he’s gonna agree that i’m healing well. just waiting for the bones to heal enough so that i can ditch the wheelchair and hospital bed and learn how to walk again.

have ya tried those netti pots — i’ve heard lotsa folks swear by their ability to kick a cold’s ass before it can kick yours

nahant! you still fighting your bug?

My days been okay.

Whatever crawled under the house and died has finally quit smelling. Funny how it’s the little things that really get one excited.

i miss those dark non-light-polluted skies — they are spectacular! got a move back in date yet?

i got to take a real shower yesterday — pt lady taught me how to scoot up (and down) the stairs on my butt yesterday. no more having to use baby wipes in the half bath downstairs

i don’t smell anymore either :)

I usually do big doses of vit C at first signs, which I also did this time. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. If it doesn’t, as I said 10 days. I haven’t felt bad, just a lot of hacking & coughing.

Wow, you are really have a tough go at it. Glad to hear you are healing well, but sad that you got into that circumstance to begin with.

Looks like sometime early May….

Yeah!!!

Not showering for that long would have driven me nuts.

i’ve heard that ya gotta amp up the zinc in addition to the c at the first signs. sometimes the hacking and coughing are the worst — they can wear ya down especially if its worse at night

As soon as I feel something like that coming on, I swallow a half cap of mouthwash, which then kills every germ in its path on the way to the stomach. Usually stops it in its tracks….

we both are looking forward to may for different reasons but both mean getting our normal back :) i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed you and sweety get to move back home on time dood

ever try washing your hair in the sink while standing on only one leg? its a real pisser tuez…

Still… But at least I finally got my antibiotics… Can’t wait for them to kick the shit out of this crud… Sure am tired of the roller coaster ride of back and forth of feeling OK and then falling off the chair and back to horizontal… J is still fighting it two 1/2 weeks on…

Did the zinc thing this time. Made not a bit of diff.

Yeah, coughing at night is why I tried the Nyquil. Coughing is definitely the better choice.

Funny how simple things like showers are such a pleasure that you don’t realize until you can’t do it for awhile.

You can achieve the same results with a shot of whiskey…

let me down easy

You just made me glad we have a shower outside, should I ever need it for such purposes.

finally! jeebus did they send them by pony express? hope they kill it for good — do ya think j is gonna need antibiotics too?

fuck — there goes that theory

steaming in a hot shower usually helps me when i have that night cough thing going.. helps break it up so i can hack it up and get down to the business of zzz’ing

Believe me, I tried that too. But the liquor goes into your stomach. The germs are in your esophagus & lungs.

when i had the full leg cast it was really hard — that sucka musta weighed 50 lbs — at least it felt like it did. took me a week before i could do more than slide it on the floor

covering led zep

she has already had one course of them.. Now if I can get better maybe she won’t need then again…. This stuff is been going rampart down here amongst all the kids and their parents.. No discrimination at all… All comers get sick…

Or you could stay vertical and hang out at LLN! It’s not as though I haven’t accumulated a big balance in my sleep bank.

Aloha, Suz and lln pups…! A most excellent toob, Suz…!

Always a pleasure to see ya at lln, M’dear…! ;-)

true dat :) i’ve heard of folks falling asleep in the chair at the computer — the upright position would help ya cough less :)

aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?

I don’t recommend aspirating whiskey. People don’t realize that Listerine and, I believe NyQuil as well, are about 25% alcohol.

fingers and toes crossed. maybe the music school need a hand sanitizer policy — come in the door and wash the hands — like they do in hospitals…

covering an great animal’s tune

We wouldn’t catch kid diseases if we just abolished kids.

It’s been weird the past week, one day would be absolutely gorgeous, and the next is all gloom and doom, today’s is G&D…!

The straight stuff is superior to the chemical imitations, IMO. :-)

Probably caused by them ‘chemtrails’ them gov’ment jet planes discharge to rain down on us ‘Merican cit’ry…

Truth be told, stomach flu is rampant all over the country….

Agree 120%

even grandbabies??? *gasp* she’s the lemonade from life’s lemons…

Hand sanitizers and computers, they say, are leading to a lot more inflections among kids these days. Theory is that kids don’t play in the dirt enough and thus don’t develop natural immunity to germs. Then ‘sanitizers’ exacerbate problem thru same mechanism. Kill off minor encounters with germs which also prevents natural immunity from developing.

They have them already.. But you know those little germ factories… Besides J has two other preschools she works at with 5 classes full of them…. Not to mention the one on one private lessons…… All opportunities to catch the bug du jour…

snowed 4 1/2 inches in tillamook last night — some places up to 8 inches…

i missed it all :( had some flakes here but nothing that stuck. i know i’ve missed some great forking eye candy like i had 2 months after i moved into the joint

And you too, CT.

the biggest advantage to being all hermit-y is the greatly diminished chance of catching whatever bug is going around

*knocking on wood*

fork — that’s two theories shot down *laughing*

i’m gonna stick with hermit tho — i think that’s the best way to avoid the germs

Never having had kids…

And quite frankly I’m appalled at my friends having grand kids, when I haven’t gotten around to the kid thing. Thank you for making me feel old.

Last night I was informed that we had become honorary parents to a 33 year old. I guess it’s better than herpes.

I can attest to that, I aspirated rum one time and I thought I was going to suffocate or have a heart attack. Goddamed epiglottis wasn’t fast enough.

Every month since May 2011, except January 2012, has set a weather record here, either precip or temp. 2011 for the year exceed the record rainfall by 10-1/2″. Winter has been record warm. Only 1 snowfall worth plowing.

hiya Suzzzz – how are you feeling tonight?

I agree 100%. Not only that, the sanitizers aren’t hospital grade, so they actually encourage super bugs.

That’s what’s so weird about my cold. I’m a hermit too. Don’t know who I caught it from,

Hi eCAHN ☺ ☺ How are the little ladies doing?? All bedded down waiting for spring?:? Have read some very interesting stuff on the causes of the Bee die off.. One is a parasitic fly that lays her eggs inside the bee’s body and cause them to loose control and makes them fly off to die…

take me like i am

*spew* i dunno tuez — guess it depends on the 33 year old

hey that guy — how ya doing tonight?

but there’s no such thing as global climate change /s

fuckers can see what’s happening in their own forking yard — weather patterns are messed up all over the place — storms bigger and wilder and the ‘normal’ aint anymore

hey ppd — hanging in — waiting for my pain pill to kick in. how’s by you?

fuck

3rd strike for me tonight

Let’s not even begin to mention the over-prescription of Anti-biotics to humans and animals, too…! 8-(

On a brighter note, my bee girls are doing spectacular in the warm weather. The downside was early in the “winter.” It must be below 40 for a certain number of days before they can safely lower the hive temp to 50s. We had few of those, which means hive temp must be maintained in 90s. Fear was they might run out of stored food to sustain higher temp. That danger seems passed, and now the queens are laying and the girls are collecting so much pollen for the babies that it falls out of their little cargo pants before they can get it all into the hives.

It’s a long story. He’s not so bad, as long as he remembers to go home.

Fighting off a migraine. Taking care of J. The kitties are caring for us.

always a good thing — and 33 is old enough that he can help replenish the fridge and has probably outgrown that ‘eat ya outta house and home’ phase…

See my 83. I haven’t heard about the parasite theory. I’ll follow up tomorrow (oops, later today; today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday). Do you have a link?

kittah love is the best medicine — as is doggie love

Go beez. Your bee stories always make me think of my dad.

Cahnstance (cat) thinks my coughing at night means she must come & sleep with me. Otherwise she sleeps by wood stove.

Hey Suz and pups

Your dad raised bees?

Hiya eCAHN – lnts

awwww how sweet of her ecahn

margot! how’s ohio tonight?

Yup, in the 70s in N. Jersey. I kinda grew up with ‘em.

Of course, the quid pro quo is plenty of petting.

Getting drowsy so going to head off.

Viruses, colds, broken bones, other ailments, be banished!!!

Gnite all.

g’nite ecahn — hope ya feel better soon

oh yeahhhh — I need some pain killers watching the rescumblicans on News at 11.

It was in the 70s, birds woke me up, cat was very interested in the birdies. Spring has sprung:)

g’nite

night eCAHN – feel better soon.

“Zombie” Fly Parasite Killing Honeybees

Took me a moment to find it….

congrats on snagging the happy lucky 99 ppd!!!

Does anyone know who won in Hawaii?

winter finally arrived — and i missed it — snowed at the beach and stuck — didn’t do a wimpy snow that melts when it hits the ground like it did here

Tuttle???

looking at tut…..yoohoo tut any word?

hiya CT — 99 R Us!

Tut disappears at the worst times.

Probably only 2 people voted, so it shouldn’t be hard to count.

just saw on the twitter machine that romney won american samoa

Samoa has been missionized, so to speak, by the Mormons. Big time.

hey dearie — how ya doing tonight? i heard hawaii has a 5% mormon population and that, so far, willard has not lost a state with a mormon population of 4% or more

I’m well, Suz. Just busy doing laundry and watching Daily Show and getting ready for a good night’s snooze.

well time to crawl off and try and get some sleep….Be good kids and don’t drink all the booze….

sounds like a good evening dearie — i loved this line from the show – saw it on twitter earlier

What’s the difference btw an unfertilized egg, a corporation, and a woman in Oklahoma? One of them isn’t considered a person!

g’nite nahant

Too true! And yet the news says that 45-48% of working women in the South voted for Santorum. What’s THAT about?????

Thanks for reminding me of the laundry.

You saved me from having to re-wash it in the morning.

Not to mention that female senator in Arizona wanting to make women justify using contraceptives to their employers.

What the fuck is up with these women?

i don’t understand it either… they can’t all be wanna be michelle duggars

love that ohio (?) bill that requires a notarized affidavit from a sexual partner attesting to the man’s impotence before he can be prescribed viagra

karma — she can be such a bitch

They need forced rectal exams to get Viagra with an ultrasound wand to boot.

I’m trying to remember what it was about women in the early 70′s who were so afraid of feminists……afraid, I guess, that they would lose whatever ‘privileges’ they’d settled for/sold themselves for. I didn’t get it then, don’t get it now. Working women should be looking out for their own futures and their children’s futures…..and the Republican Party certainly isn’t.

Anyhow…..laundry done. Happy dreams to all.

these forkers need to have to deal with a good old fashioned sex strike

unfortunately i’m already just a consultant instead of a practitioner

g’nite dearie

Not to mention, in most households the woman truly wears the pants.

If I were to die overnight, my husband would have no clue where to look for bank balances, how to pay the bills, what bills were due and when or even when the dog next needs to go to the vet, or what food I buy the cat at Petsmart.

He’d be on the street, on his ass, within the month. And he seems to prefer that.

my pill has kicked in and its time for me to get horizontal – guess i’ll have to wait for tomorrow to find out about who won hawaii

thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight

g’nite all

Night Suz. I’m right behind you.

Sorry ya’ll…! It’s only 9:05 and the caucuses are just wrapping up, it’ll be a late nite here too…! 8-(

Think the “cheesy grits” left a bad after taste.

I wonder if there is a condom that is big enough to fit over the heads of these neanderthal Republicans, maybe a full-body condom, you know, to protect all the rest of us from their theocratic lunacy, protecting supportive American men and contraceptive-using women alike, so we don’t all get their STD, Sexism Transmitted Disease, which could prove fatal for many American women (wives, daughters, mothers and sisters), as it has in the past.

With 27% reporting here in Hawai’i…

12 of 45 Precincts Reporting – 27%
Name Party Votes Vote %
Romney, Mitt GOP 291 32%
Santorum, Rick GOP 235 26%
Paul, Ron GOP 230 25%
Gingrich, Newt GOP 149 16%

There is no condom for the Disbelievers. They spray their lawful wives in Moral Polyester Chastity Belts and fuck the hell out of the rest. Or, maybe they’re just straight up Moral Men with a deep concern for the women in their lives?
Saving the dear little bitches from emotional sexually related distress. Laudanum. We need more Laudanum and less acting out.
Also, and more Blue Pills.

As we used to say back in the Youngblood DFH days……….”.gag me to tears”.
There’s no point in tracking the votes when the votes don’t mean shit, technically. It’s akin to watching Reality TeeVee.
