North Carolina fought on the other side, Rosie.
Doggio is a Yankee gentleman, they are far and few between.
:rolleyes:

150 years later, NC is south of the Mason Dixon line, so doggio is Southern.

Spider Cat, Spider Cat,
Does things even a spider can’t!

We’re going to have to change it to Spider Cat.
Spider Cat is cooler than Spider Dog; he can do things even a spider can’t!
Besides, cats are more cool than dogs.
If you argue with this, you will Run Afoul of The Cute One, and Things Will Not Go Well For You.

So, you guys figure out how to get a cat to wear a spider suit.
I’ve Done My Part.

It’s spider pig, damnit. Here’s what one looks like.

Here’s the latest update of MOOOOOOM’S life as a [del]pirate[/del] tourist on the high seas. Note the warnin’ at the bottom. Spidey is in sooooooooooo much trouble!

@MOOOOOOM

Not a whole lot happened this weekend. Saturday was an at-sea day, so we were mostly lazy. It was too chilly and dreary to be out on deck. I did some crocheting, reviewed my shipboard account, listened to some music, watching some TV – like I said, lazy.

Sunday, we had a morning bus trip to Honfleur, and as usual, not nearly enough time to see anything. We did a walking tour with our guide, then broke off and wandered about on our own, snapping photos, looking around, plus Mom stopped to buy her obligatory fridge magnets.

Unfortunately, she started feeling woozy, and even stumbled a few times. As we headed back to the bus, she took my arm to help steady herself as she walked. Back at the ship, we went to the medical office, but they were closed and she didn’t think it was enough to merit a 911 call, so she went back to the room to lie down while I grabbed some lunch. When I was finished, she was up and watching TV and she wanted to go to the souvenir shop on the dock by the ship, so we walked over there and back again.

Then she got a bowl of soup while I had some fruit. She said she feels normal, so whatever it was has passed… I hope… She’s relaxing again, and I can see that the tide has dropped a LOT! The tide ranges off the north Atlantic are much more significant than the 18” or so we used to see at our marina!

We depart around 8 or so this evening, heading back to Southampton. A bunch of people will get off, a bunch will get on, and a bunch of us are staying put for the crossing. Tomorrow, we’ll see Stonehenge and Salisbury, and the first half of the journey will be done.

I hope you’ve been using your coasters and behaving yourselves in my absence. I don’t want to have to give the entire MMP a Time Out!!

I’m a bad Southerner. I don’t care about the UnCivil War. I blame my New Jersey heritage.

And we’re still paying for it.

Hmm, someone should point out to Moooom that not much warrants a 911 call in Europe, 'cos that ain’t our emergency number- it’s 112 (Europe wide, though countries have their own).

This public information broadcast was brought to you by homemade elderflower booze.

[Sticks_and_Scones]

Don’t tell my mom, but The Roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd has to be the most boring musical ever. (Currently at intermission.)

[Sahirrnee]

Boring day
Just suffering the net, took a nap, and irk.

We’re having Chinese for dinner, Sah-son didn’t get a choice this time.

It is a beautiful day though, cool and sunny with a nice breeze.

[swampbear]

StickyBuns I once saw a production of The Roar of Greasepaint The Smell of The crowd. I concur with your opinion. A real YAWNER

Tboomers are in the area. I hear thunderatin’ and it’s all cloudy out. Come on tboomers!

In other news, I have been a productive bear. I made a for real pot roast in a cast iron Dutch oven. It will be dindin tomorrow along with fresh green beans which I cooked already as well. Tomorow I shall heat it all up and make some cornbread. I also boiled a whole chikin and deboned it. It shall get made into chikin ‘n dumplin’s for Tuesday’s dindin. I made up some burgers for dindin either Wednesday or Thursday cause I’m thinkin’ the chikin 'n dumplin’s may carryover for another dindin. Firday will be pizza night and I shall do some bbq, coleslaw and fries for Sattidy. I feel so domesticated! Take that Food Network!

ETA: I have also written up tomorrow’s MMP. Go Me!

[Catamount]

Some massive thunderboomers are coming through the mountainous region. My power went off for about an hour. I had to get out the emergency candles! :eek:

Protip: make sure you keep your candlesticks near the emergency candles so that you won’t have to go digging through your closet in the dark to find them.

Happy Birthday EmilyG!

It is nice and moderate in ABQ today - temps in the low to mid 80s. It was a bit cool this morning, even! Beautiful day, though. Went to the Farmer’s Market store - they were roasting a big batch of Hatch chiles!! They had about 10-12 roasters out there, and folks were lined up for em!! They do smell good, at least to me, when they’re roasting them, I just can’t eat 'em when they’re HOT (lol and those are HOT, let me tell you!) I missed my son, though, who dropped by to visit while my daughter and I were out at the Farmer’s Market! Oh well, he had a great day yesterday–his 9th grade team won their first game!!! It’s his first real game as coach, too!! I know he’s on a cloud right now, and I’m just happy for him. He seems to be enjoying teaching too. So glad for him.

Happy Sunday, what’s left of it that is, to all.

[Sticks_and_Scones]

I’d like to change my assessment to excruciating. My mom absolutely loved it so I guess that’s what really matters.

Happy Birthday, Midget!

Finally got my son to look at pictures of the house and pick out which bedroom he wants. I showed him the furniture I picked out for him and he approves.
I am so afraid of jynxing myself or I’d post a link to pictures.

The prettiest bedroom is the middle room and that is the one he choose after making sure I didn’t want it. The problem with the middle room is that is where the door to the attic is so whoever has that room will have the attic traffic, not that there will be much attic traffic. I thought he would want the back bedroom but it’s cool any way he wants it. He is pretty minimalist so his room won’t be cluttered up and block access to the attic door.
I figured I’d get the front bedroom. I’ll like it because it has windows on two sides and I’ll get a good cross breeze - I hope

Thank God the weekend is over. But I got a cold beer and a warm puppy, so it’s all OK>

I’ve been mistaken for a Canadian, though. I guess because so many of my posts are aboot hockey, eh?

Down here, it’s the “War of Northern Aggression”.

Hope you get sprung, Red.

sari, I’d pick that one ,too. But I like light.

[carnivorousplant]

Do you consider North Carolina to be Southern, Dogbutler?
You do have good barbecue sauce.

It most definitely is. are you talking about the Eastern, vinegar based sauce, as god himself intended, or that heretic Western ketchup sauce?

[missred]

38 years in Eastern N.C. will teach you that.
