Per CTuttle:

I was disheartened to hear today that Madame Shrillary had decided to take the MeK off the State Terrorist List, but, not surprised one iota…!

And all I can say is *gah*

Hi Suzanne. How are you tonight. I think we’re now into the low seventies tonight.

*back dive, half twist, straight position* arrg, huge forking splash

i can’t forking believe i totally missed talk like a pirate day this week

hey wigwam — how’s the inland empire tonight?

Suze!! OK In TCB, hows it in yo’ necka da woods

But did you splash that fucking Bulgarian?

tis 60 outside — don’t think he got past 65 at all today. i forking love it :)

It’s your thread, let’s make up for it …

Aaarrrrrrr me mateys !

suze, i need to ask you about a cartoon, a short-p– can’t find it on YouTube

hey bfl — tis a q word night except for my tunes blasting on the ipod

all that counts

We’re surviving quite well, thanks. It stayed near 100 today and is quite pleasant right now.

Mitt will be singing this on election night.

dayam straight, skippy — can you believe that fool is wearing white after labor day?

ignore the P– that was a a slip

petro! what kinda grog ya got in the cocktail shaker tonight?

sure, ask away and i’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed that i have an answer

My son’s kindergarten class celebrated talk like a pirate day this week. Kewl.

hey thatguy — how’s the bay area tonight?

i figured it was an upside down ?

hey ysd — how ya doing tonight?

Bay area is ok but I’m having a bad foot night.

Cool night in Toronto … your choice, m’lady !

Jeebus, did your foot end up in Romney’s mouth as well ?!!

*hands on monitor* sending ya some positive no pain thoughts… foot pain is absofuckinglutely the fucking worst (and i’ve had babies)

Hi Suz, ya kicked that dive, I am too exhausted to get any rest this week, and it has been wild. Two more days, then another plan.

Take care everyone, just a drive by for me, or a dive by maybe.

All pooped out from a busy week. I don’t know how all you late nighters stay awake…

The Boy Who Cried Wolf– early 60′s, I guess, maybe late , late 50′s, probably early 60′s like 62-63

Where are you? I’m in West Marin.

{{{ bg }}}

Hi guys!!!

Wavin’ from the nosebleed section.

It’s kinda cooled off enough here that I may take the dog to the dog park this weekend, for the first time since mid May, give or take.

i need something that has a calgon take me away kinda effect — i’m trying to blot out that i’m seeing the knee surgeon on monday — my pt lady was not happy with it this week (neither was i) and by the time i got home, the nurse was on the line and scheduled me for monday at 130. i’ve developed some instability issues and my pain levels have been up — so i’ve been on those nasty pills again.

i can use something cyber strong *laughing*

nice diveby bg :) g’nite and i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed the sale this weekend goes well

I’ve developed a bit of fondness for Bulgarians after spending some time in Tarnovo, a spectacularly beautiful and happinin’ place. I hope to visit there again.

The capital, Sophia, was Soviet drab, definitely not a happy place from what little I saw.

i’ve found the most effective way is to not get up before the crack of nooon

not peter and the wolf (which i featured last week)… hmmm let me see what i can find for ya dood

What has been your experience with weed and your pain?

I passed through Sophia I the early 1990′s. Drab is just about right in my estimation.

not this 77 one?

hey tuez! yay to cooling off! i took token to his ‘grandparents’ this weekend — it was scheduled last week when i was going to be gone this weekend to see seattle and environs… my trip got cancelled but his didn’t :) he sure loved running in the yard with the other small dogs… marie is gonna take him to the beach in the am

Heh. I’m up at the crack of Sponge BobSquarepants, and not by choice. I barely remember what a full night’s sleep feels like.

when were you there?

know what happened today—- it’s Friday, a dress down day; and we get an e-mail yesterday, your decent Friday is cancelled because some muckety-muck joker is coming from Tallahassee for a tour and will be touring every floor and blah, blah, blah, so dress and behave professionally– they actually told us that– snort–unerstandably; so anyway, we do; we looked great, we practiced our small talk “Hey, how about those Seminoles” “Wow, some nasty weather up there in Tally” “Hey, when the fuck am I getting my pay cut restored and tell that fucking bald-headed fart you work for he’s a dooosh” Anyway, guy never shows; spends his time schmoozing with the resident bigwigs
so, I need “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”

Howsabout Hot Rum Toddy [Pirate's Rum, of course] ?

depends on the type of pain and the type of weed. for bone pain, its not always enough. depends on if its indica or sativa or a hybrid and what the percentage is. bone pain needs really nail my ass to the couch stuff.

there are some on Youtube– more recent–that I found; not finding the one i’m thinking of and it’s got to be considered a classic

I stayed at the Park hotel, which was perhaps the pride of the Soviet empire. Subdued architecture but luxurious wood paneling everywhere. The carpets were torn but still reeked of cigarette smoke. We got hot water off and on. My wife hated it, but I was imagining all of the spys whose death warrants got signed there and proceeded to enjoy various James Bond fantasies.

I was there with family, specifically my nephew and his gracious and lovely Bulgarian bride. She and her family showed us a wonderful time.

is medical pot is legal where you at, suze

i remember what that’s like… i never understood why little kids enjoy getting up sooo forking early *laughing*. thank goodness it changed when my girls became teens and wanted to sleep until 2pm

shit fuck shit…. i’m still looking

i wish my kids were little again *sniff*

Heheh. Spy fantasies, eh? Strange place, though. Everyone seemed to stare with no self consciousness. That’s what I remember. Disconcerting.

aye matey slide that mug down ‘ere (doncha be a’spillin’ a drop either)

i googled it and found ref to a disney short but haven’t found the video.. betcha that’s the one you are thinking of

it is — i was legal in ca and part of why i moved to oregon is that they are also a mmj state

the best is yet to come – wait until your a grandparent

Aloha, Suz and lln pups…!

The tsunami debris has arrived here in the Isles…! 8-(

Mahalo, ww…! ;-)

speaking of being a grandparent— obligatory latest video of julsie

Foney fables 1942, maybe

I appreciated your post about MEK, mostly because I read Glenzilla most every day and know about all the two-faced democrats who are sponsoring them.

aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight? i saw on the news they are forecasting that about 50% of the debris is going to hit the alaska coastline.

Enjoy the grandchildren when they come along and remember how much energy and patience the little angels suck out of you when they are totally your responsibility to socialize into normal adults. My little one dropped trau in a group picture recently, the little rat.

Mega-Mug coming atcha, Suz …

found this

Soooo cute. Mine do not put toys away. Ever.

Dang, She’s getting big…! I wish the munchkin would listen as well…! ;-)

*slurpin’ then belchin’*

*trying not to laugh*

that’s it; I thought the Boy Who Cried Wolf was a separate cartoon; thanks Suze; can’t believe that was 1942– so it was ancient even when i was a kid

her mom, my older daughter, is a super neat clean kinda person. jules mimics everything she sees her mom do, right down to putting her sippy cup down in the round circle in her high chair. she even said ‘yay’ when she put it away, just like jen says yay when julsie does something right

gonna be 18 months on the 9th… shes started the terrible two’s early …

*blowing smoke from fingertips* iirc, i think i featured that one up top a year or two ago… twas my pleasure to help out

thanks but it’s different; as i seem them getting older, i think back on the mistakes I made as a dad and wish i would have been better and would like to have a second chance; i’m not a bad dad, just would like to do some things over, have more patience

take a bow, lady

We all make mistakes. I’m quick to tell my daughters that I made mistakes and that now it’s their turn to go out and do it better. I know that I did better than my mom, and I want them to do better than I did. We smile. And they do better.

It was great day watching the munchkin today, my Son calls him the ‘tornado’…! As yellowsnapdragon just alluded, it’s way more tiring job that it used to be…! ;-)

i found this when i was looking for bfl’s toon

Oooof. Can’t relate. We don’t do neat or orderly well at my place. We do fast and half-assed.

Indeed! But the joy of grandparenting is that you don’t have to do it 24/7 and that most times you can actually sleep in!

hey dearie — how’s the ‘nard tonight? you said that much better than i could so i’m just gonna say “bfl – ditto what dearie said”

thing was, i tried to do it like my own dad; he was a great dad but i think i could have— not done better, but just been more patient; i’ve talked to them and they’re fine but i can remember things they don’t where i could have been better; i think they’ll do better, if they have kids, right now, just wanna get them into adulthood and have some fun along the way

hell no, i’d prob fall over after drinking petro’s rum…

Oh, I think that all the time! It must be totally normal to feel that way. I’m glad you mentioned it.

i had a lot more energy when i was young

Hey, Girl. The ‘nard is nice. Sorry you are having pain…. hope your trip to the doc will put all things right and back on track. Fun that Token got a little vacation/reunion. Then you get the lovin’ reunion when he’s back.

… We do fast and half-assed… *heh* I gotta remember that one…! ;-)

What will amaze you (!) is that your kids will totally forgive any slights once they have children of their own. I forgave my parents. My kids forgave me. Like magic!

jen’s just like my mom – who my girls called nana white glove (because dirt didn’t dare land on nana) when they were younger — i never have been much into cleaning house much to my mother’s dismay

That is *so* true.

we all have regrets dood. tis part of being a parent and part of getting older — looking back at what could have been or shudda been. i have to keep telling myself that i do not demand perfection of others — why should i demand it of myself.

i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed. am pissed that i didn’t get to seattle and am trying to think positive and tell myself thatk he’s gonna say this is part and parcel of the recovery from that severe of an injury and i can reschedule the trip for next weekend.

then token gets to go to maries two weekends in a row *laughing*

Sorry that I was late in responding, Suz…! 8-(

Btw, we’re in the 90′s…! ;-)

ooo thanks for the heads up tut

query: when will people realize that because you live in orlando, you don’t live within walking distance of disneyworld

just happened–theird time in a week– “I’m in Disneyworld for busines, let’s get together

I live 40 miles away and don’t drive, would you like to meet me in Orlando

of course they don’t

hey, all of you, just leave me the fuck alone

if you go to universal, call me, that’s actually IN orlando and I’ll meet you

(Not directed to anyone here– just my imagined conversation with the people who are bothering me0

about the time they figure out that if they are in the upper floors of a skyscraper in florida they can’t see both coasts

Home from John Prine. Great Show, tears of joy.

Please Don’t let me be Misunderstood…

Romney Sucks

ohmystars.. i forking love prime! hey coach — how ya didja get so lucky?

congrats on snagging the happy lucky 99 tut!!!

*heh* Not too shabby, eh…? ;-)

Now, that makes me laugh. I can’t tell you how many people think it would be just peachy if I’d pick them up at LAX just because I’m in kinda south California. Nope. Ain’t happening. I avoid LAX even if it costs me extra to fly out of Santa Barbara. People are strange.

very true; i’m glad they call me but–look, i don’t expect them to leave they’re nice hotel to go up to orlando to meet me, but it really isn’t close and it’s always “I’m in DisneyWorld!” “OK! Great! I’ll drop everything!”

But, but….he oranged up for the Hispanics. What a jerk!

I got a heads up that he was coming to town in that right hand column of Facebook. :)

did I just type “they’re hotel” instead of “their”— hahahahaha; shithead; oh well, it’s friday and it’s LLN, so screw it

Wow. Facebook finally pays off!

i’m convinced there are folks who are distance challenged.. they just don’t grasp that’s its more than just the mileage – its the time it takes to go those miles…

sweet! i heard on the local radio that springsteen is coming to town but there’s no way i could afford it. but now that i’m not a 2 hour drive from portland, i’m hoping to snag a concert or two that i can afford :)

no fucking spelling police down here in the comments — they are reserved for above the comments where they are needed :) besides, i typo just about as much as lisa does

and no grammar trolls here, either! and I’m an old English teacher….. but, hey, I can figure out what people mean….. I’m not stoopid.

I think Cynthia’s typos easily surpasses Lisa’s numbers…! ;-)

i think some people are getting used to when i am asking questions– withtout a working question mark key

i’m pretty good at catching mine before i press that submit button — am a big fan of fdl’s peterr principle preview is my friend

who is lisa {insert question mark here}

lisa derrick at la figa — she’s fdl’s entertainment reporter

Sleepy time. ‘Night, Kids…..

g’nite dearie

i’m fading too… thanks for letting me hang out tonight – hope to see ya tomorrow for cartoons

g’nite all

Sweet dreams, Suz and all…!

oh yeah! she’s a pisser

no, no, no; thank YOU, Suze—- thanks for digging up that old and classic toon

good night

i think i better hit the hay, too, CT

Damn it I just got here!
Oh well. Today I learned why people get all stresses out over remodeling.
It’s not just the money, it’s also all the things you don’t have control over and trying to keep things happening on time.
I feel like an idiot general contractor. Instead of saving 25% I feel like my lack of experience is costing me 50%.

Good morning, pups. Mr. Blow is off today, so we have Mr. Cohen, Mr. Nocera and Ms. Collins. In “A 21st Century Islam” Mr. Cohen says a religion that is also a political movement must accept contestation and ridicule. Mr. Nocera has a question: “Has Apple Peaked?” He says the nasty glitch in the iPhone 5 suggests that the law of big companies even applies to the most valuable one in America. In “The Polar Express” Ms. Collins says there’s so much work for Congress to get done and so little time before going home to run for re-election. Everything’s exciting, people!

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got waffles with warm maple syrup for breakfast. I’ve been having a series of computer glitches lately, so I’m going to get out of here and try running a scan on the beast. I suppose if I have to bite the bullet and get a new one better to do it now, while I’ve still got 10 weeks of work left… Have a great day.
