I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but it’s been hazy, hot & humid in the DC area so far this weekend - a typical DC summer! Yesterday saw a trip to Target, stopping at the grocery store for dinner on the way home. Today will be grocery shopping and that’s about it. It’s just too hot to be outside for any length of time, or longer than absolutely necessary.
Dotty, Noor is indeed a HRH, and quite a cutie pie! SCL, Libby is in my thoughts and prayers; indeed, all who requested prayers and good wishes, I’m doing so.
SCL, prayers headed out for Libby.
Yawn. Need tea. Got bumped into by lots of drunken revellers on our way home last night at midnight- and almost run over twice, by idiots doing seventy in a forty zone, with the streets full of pedestrians. They didn’t shut up and leave until after two. That’s why I hate Jazz Fest. We’re going away next year on this weekend.
Today I should start to pack up my kitchen. Oh, it hurts. We’ll need things, and they’ll be in boxes… and it will be terrible! I can’t get my brain to adapt to “We’ll just eat grilled cheese and we won’t die if I don’t have all the ingredients to bake Sachertorte readily available”.
And this time, I’m on the right day too. I heard you’re old. What? That’s what FCM was saying. Are we doing swats for each year like bobbio suggested? Cause you could end up beat up! That cake looked awesome and delicious. I hope it tasted as good as it looked. Have a great birthday and many happy returns!
I hope I’m seeing the same post as you’re seeing. One time in the Pit, I wrote a really long post and coded it wrong. The whole thing looked like one big link, and evidently turned the whole thing blue, according to the mod that corrected it and the next person that commented on it. By the time I got back, it was already corrected. Now that was embarrassing.
I’ve heard about that test. . .that it’s difficult. Good luck on passing on your first attempt.
Here, there, your time, my time. Let’s standardize. I’ll meet you on the moon at 10 pm moon time. Be there!
That’s not allowed here. This is the MMP. Seriousness goes to GD
OK, so let me get this straight. Are you saying that some men are thinking inappropriate thoughts as they sit in their car while attractive women pass by them in the crosswalk? Huh. You learn something new every day. And putting aside the racially motivated comments, are you further saying that if you were sitting in a car by yourself and Haze passed by your car in the crosswalk in front of you, you’d continue on with the grocery list in your head without skipping a beat? If so, please feel free to Pit the outrage that burns with the intensity of a thousand flames over some men who have inappropriate thoughts as attractive women pass in front of them. Please. My entertainment level is dipping lately.
Dotty, nice poem!
FCM, ewww, cat snot in your eye!! That’s at least one thing I hope to never have in my eye.
It’s a beautiful day here. . . nice and cool! And I’m off to start my day. Be good and have fun everyone! (Do those two go together?)
I don’t think Special1 is “pitting” the thoughts these men had - all men (and women) harbor nasty little thoughts when they see someone or something that catches their attention (you don’t want to know the series of epithets that runthru my brain when I see something I find that warrants that reaction) I think he’s pitting the men for saying those thougths out loud. Now if you really want to be entertained, I could stand up on some hill top and hurl epithets willy nilly causing the world to assume I have Turretts
Swampy is OLD today!? How old would that be? Happy, Happy Birthday my friend! I hope you get all the prezzies you ever wanted. Mine’s in the mail, hide and watch, ok?
What the heck am I doing up so early on Sunday morning? I actually slept last night, but, I had to get up at 4:00AM to get Hubby off to save lives and alleviate suffering. I made him a good breakfast, kissed him goodbye and went back to bed, only to lie there awake as could be. Maybe, I was anticipating the party here in MMP for Swampy. Oh was that supposed to be a surprise? Sorry.
I’m a very bad girl. Hubby brough home the new Harry Potter and told me I couldn’t read it all at once. I did. :smack: I stayed up Friday night and read the whole 759 pages. Now what?
Ooh… low-gravity fun! I’ll bring the air-lock, you bring the waterbed?
You misspelled “all”.
[serious]But that was the point I was making – that the target of the racially motivated comments isn’t really selected (only) for race… [/serious]
Of course if **Haze **passed in front of me I’d continue staring at my grocery list! At least that’s the version I’m selling to you. Yes. absolutely. That’s my line and I’m sticking to it!! Haze, don’t you believe a word of this! I’m just trying to placate Roo’s jealousy
There is no secret message here.
Now if you were to pass in front of me… Well, then my interest would most certainly be… aroused.
Of course, most likely I’d just be tongue-tied like I always am IRL; but in any case I wouldn’t try using racial insults. In fact, I probably wouldn’t use insults at all. Didn’t work in third grade, won’t work in adult life… I’m as likely to catch you by insulting you as I am to get to the moon…
Oh, wait…
I’m still keeping Libby in my thoughts, SCL. You are being a wonderful friend to her.
We ended up hanging out at the house yesterday for nothing. The packages never arrived. STOOPIT Fed Ex STILL hasn’t updated their tracking site. I could maybe understand not updating it on a weekend, but they haven’t updated it since last Thursday morning for cripes sakes.
We watched Reno, 911 the movie last night. It was rather funny in places.
Some friends of ours rode over on their Harleys and visited with us for awhile. They’re very excited because they bought a house. They’re supposed to move in at the end of August. I’m very happy for them. It’s a nice house with a lovely yard.
The house down the street is for sale. It’s a little over 200 square feet smaller than our house and they’re asking $315,000. Interestingly enough, a house just two house up from that one went for $350,000 a few months ago. Same size, etc. The market is definitely saturated here.
MBG, you and the wife were stand up people yesterday. You were very nice to have done that.
Nah, I bet you’ll be thinking about me the whole time, instead of concentrating on the sermon
So, yes, actually… I agree. *Good *thoughts ***Exhilarating ***thoughts, even!
Ugh, so tired. I went over to a friend’s yesterday for what was supposed to be a low-key party, but ended up being running 'til 5am. w00t. Ah well. Friend just called and suggested the beach, so I’ll just get some more sleep while I’m there.
That cake sounds heavenly! And the decorations were perfect.
Good on you, MBG, for being a stand-up guy, and for you, SCL, for being a good friend.
Designer baby clothes are hilarious, Dotty! I got Lapin Blanc a snazzy baby dress from Neiman’s once when I was visiting my great-aunt who worked there, and she was only able to wear it for a couple of months, but we all got endless enjoyment out of it! We need photos of Noor, obviously, all snazzed up!
What I remembered I was going to say is that Series 7 test may be hard, LOUNE, but just think of all the money you’ll make once you have it! If you’re going to become a stockbroker, that is; from what I hear, while commissions are good, bonuses are just unbelievable at a lot of places. Like 100-200% of annual income. If only.
Clay break! I’m hearing thunder, and when I took the doggies out, it was evident that 10 or 12 raindrops had fallen in our yard. WE NEED RAIN!!
I’ve done underglazing of another cat jar - it started with broad pink and white vertical stripes. Then I daubed bright green, turquoise, purple, and pink randomly on top. The tail is pink, the collar is red, and the star on the collar is orange. It should be, um, colorful. And as I was decorating it, I decided I’m going to do one of the dog jars in camoflage pattern.
Like I said, break time. Then I’m going back downstairs to make doggy heads and tails. Beats workin’…
Yeah, I know. A lot of the guys in the office work 2 or 3 days a week or come in for 6 or 7 hours and have one or two appointments or just come in when the market is open. They’re making some bank, too. One’s making about 140,000 a year and he (admittedly) doesn’t do much work.
Also, don’t mind my grumbling. I’m just bitching and whining about this test and how it’s not sinking through my thick skull.
Yes, and I prayed for your [del]soul[/del] happiness. Is it working?
I’ve never even seen that one. Mine say Bushism Ringtones. Who would want that?!
Oooh, sign me up for some of that! Just the money part, not the work part.
On my way to church, I stopped at the farmer’s market and picked up some Asian pears and a few peaches. I just had the sweetest, juiciest white peach with lunch. . . no tartness, just sweet. Yum!
Yes. absolutely. That’s my line and I’m sticking to it!!
