The story of the ant and the grasshopper-the ant toils away as a nameless drone till it dies, while the grasshopper gets to frolic and fornicate in the sun. Who’s the winner there?
A dog’s second favorite flavor is “stick”
Happy Monday, and have at it!
You forget that the grasshopper dies frozen.
I probably won’t be able to do it, but I’m considering not returning from Scotland after I’m done with school there. My main reason to be here is family, and let’s see…
Seriously, I’m having problems coming up with a reason to be here, specially knowing that the climate in Scotland is good for me and there is Decent Food there.
Reminds me of the tag-line from The Addams Family movie: “You don’t choose family.” :rolleyes:
Having said that, and agreeing that there may be some decent food in Scotland (which is one of my favorite places to visit in the world) – just be careful of moving 200 miles south and repeating the sentiment. I, for one, will laugh my fool head off… 
I’m guessing you’ve not had the dubious pleasure of a Munchy Box yet then?
Doggio - nice OP, but what’s the dog’s favourite flavour?
I’ve had a busy weekend and I got sunburn on my shoulders so I’m feeling a bit sore today. It’s my own fault but I am still annoyed about it. This is England, dammit!
Never mind, on Saturday I will be laying in the sun drinking beer and watching bands in sunny Germany. That’s definitely something to look forward to.
I do have a sense of direction, ya now. And I do understand Scottish but not Scouser. Mind you, moving 2000 miles south of my current location would be a horrid idea.
Boo, the fact that there is Decent Food doesn’t imply a lack of Unacceptable Consumables. You just have to know which ones to grab.
For some strange reason, 'im indoors was debating the concept of haggis pakora last night. Methinks he had too much beer in his system.
Need some Mumper hugs.
Blurf. Insomnia and a fire standby page at 0230 cut into valuable and coveted sleep time.
How about **2500 **miles, in roughly SE direction? 
Close as I can tell, that would put you in Southern Algeria or in Mali, so, yeah… :eek:
Sorry to hear that… 
What happened…?
Anyway…** {{{Hockey Monkey}}}**
Relevant thread Sorry, not awake yet this morning.
Aww, {{{{{HockeyMonkey}}}}}!
Nice OP, Doggio; I must admit to also wondering (like BooFae) what the dog’s favorite flavor is, before stick … but now that I think of it, maybe I don’t want to know! :eek:
Up, caffeinating, and at work - in early to boot! 
Just had a peach and banana with cottage cheese for brekkies. That peach was good, even if it isn’t quite peach season yet. I dunno where they got those peaches, but it was indeed tasty. I’ve got a salad to have for lunch too … with harvard beets to put on it, yeah beets!
Is it Friday yet? ducks

The dog’s favorite flavor before stick is doggio. 
Beautiful sunny weekend. The pool was wonderful. I did a chicken in the crock pot but I need a better recipe, I think.
I’m sorry, hockeymonkey. I hope you find something you want real soon.
nava, what would it take to make Scotland your forever home?
boofae, I think I’d have to be mighty hungry to take that on.
Work beckons.

Happy June MMP!

What’s the dialect of English spoken in Tel Aviv called, international?
I thought that if the dog was male, his favourite flavor was that of his own scrotum? Maybe I’ve been hanging out with the wrong dogs.
Growing a pair, really. I can even live in a rental in Scotland (good location as a base for consulting jobs) and, so long as I keep my flat in Spain, be officially living and working out of Spain. Another alternative would be finding me an eligible pair under a kilt, but that’s less likely to happen and anyway I don’t think that it’s decent to wish me on any man; it would make for a helluva excuse, tho.
“Hebrew.” And no, it’s not mutually intelligible with most other English Dialects. Then again, neither is Scots…
If you’re hanging out with dogs, what does that make you…? (assuming no cross-species kinky stuff is going on here, that is…)
I say if you can swing staying in Scotland indefinitely, then definitely do it! Maybe you’d like to consider living in some other part of Scotland, except for Glasgow, though… It’s the only place in Scotland I ever found not completely to my liking. OK, maybe I missed going into a few of the worse neighborhoods in Edinburgh – but I’m talking about the “good” parts of Glasgow turning me off. Just Another Big City.
The school is in Edinburgh. Inverness would have the advantage of even-longer summer days, but I think I’ll stick with the place that’s got… heck, listing what Edinburgh doesn’t have seems much faster, if you ask me.
Hanging out with his dogs makes me my uncle Javier’s niece; actually, I’d be his niece even if I never visited him or if he didn’t have dogs. This is Important: SiL’sBro broke up with his gf (rather, she dumped him), which means that all of a sudden “Aunt María José” wasn’t visiting The Kidlet’s house any more and he wasn’t supposed to call her aunt any more. He spent a couple months verifying which of his relatives were optional
I’ve gotten so many- here are some for you… {{{Hockey Monkey}}}
I got some good news today- I had to have an test for Lupus and it came back negative. I was really worried…
Happy June! It’s a simply perfect day here.
