Work was slammed, but not as bad as the Likker Sto 2 doors down. They had line out the door all day. I feel for the police and EMS in da Hood this weekend. My sinuses are draining, but I have beer and Jack Daniels, so I care not.
Happy Butterversary!!!

Gladd you had a good Xmas week, Flipper1
{{{{Nettie}}}}}
swampy, I’m still up and kicking. Although I am still on my first beer.:dubious:
Happy Freakin’ New Year!
I did a shot of Jack in your honor.
My [del]drinking[/del] running club does a caroling run; we went to six bars-bar/restaurants. 
♪ Every party needs a pooper, that’s why we invited youper, party pooper! ♫
Hippo Gnu Year, Mumpers!
It’s been 2016 for 42 minutes already. I have to say, I am unimpressed.
I missed you too Flipper. Feel better soonest Nettie and hugs to Kopek on friend demise.
Party was soooooooo much fun. Gambled. Sucked at craps. Whipped ass at blackjack. So glad I went. The moneys that were taken in from the sales of chips at .50 cent each is being donated to the local food pantry so all for a good cause.
This is the first year I was awake for the midnight hour in years. I even went on the porch and blew the conch shell. I blow a mean conch shell. Makes me dizzy but I didn’t have an aneurism so there is that. At least not yet anyway.
Happy New Year my imaginary friends. I love all y’all. Well, most of y’all.
I got cold beer in my glass, a warm puppy at my feet, and Jimmy Buffett on YouTube.
So far 2016 is looking good. 
Here, in West Coastia, it’s not New Years yet. (Mind blown)
I may (not saying, one way or t’other) have imbibed a few beverages. Odds are extremely good that I won’t make it until midnight.
Rabbit, rabbit everyone!
NEW YEAR BLURF. I was up until almost 3 am and here I am up before 7am. Why? Anyway, I have put my peas and collards on low and slow. Will probably have a nap later for sure.
Confucius say “woman who cook collards and pees in same pot very unsanitary”.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 57 Amurrkin and cloudy out which is also the predicted high and forecast for the day. On the plus side, the rain is allegedly gone. We shall see.
Today is the traditional da bear makes sure people get their greens and black eyed peas so if they don’t have money and good luck this year they can’t blame me N.O.L. Festivities will get underway around ten-thirty this mornin’ and hopefully everybody will be gone by two this afternoon. I love seein’ the faces of company when they walk in the door, and I love seein’ the backsides of company when they walk out the door. 
OK, that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. I should also purtify and then commence cookage of comestibles.
Happy Firday Y’all!
ETA: butters you made me snort coffee!
Happy New Year!!
Only 10-ish more months of this annoying Presidential campaign!
I was pretty much dead to the world by 10 last night. I woke around 2 to pee and lock the cat out of our room, then woke at 6 when Higgs started fussing. My sweetie is still sleeping and I’m caffeinating.
I shall start my new year by painting the base for my smoker. I’ll also pull something out of the freezer to cook for supper - I’m getting tired of going out all the time. OK, not all the time, but I haven’t cooked supper for several days, so today I will.
**sari **- face it, your imaginary friends here are much better than your IRL friends. Stay with us. We love you and won’t annoy you… much. 
megablurf!
Someone had the music going until 3 am and the bass with turned up to eleven the whole time. Then, in spite of demonstrating that she was capable of not trying to wake me until 6:30, Smokey starts with the “feed me” nudges and meows at 4:30, a mere hour after I finally fell asleep.
THERE WILL BE NAPPAGE!
Do you know Mrs. Plant (v.2.0)?
Happy New Year!
I was down in God’s Waiting Room hanging out with Irish Storyteller & Seasonal last night until all hours. Got home around 1:15, had to get up at 5:30, there isn’t a pot of coffee in the world strong enough to wake me up right now. Not even IT/military/hospital coffee.
Two more days of irk before weekend.
Up, caffeinated, off today. I must make a beer run.
The NYD revelers have descended upon us. Festivities have ensued for all ten of us. Two folks from large and in charge Americus, Jawja called this mornin’ to say they would not be able to make it due to some floodin’ in their area. In order to avoid the flooded area their 35 miles each way trip would have been an 80 miles each way trip so I can understand them not wantin’ to do that.
Anywho, time to go festivate and finish up the makeage of comestibles.
Happy new year!
I spent last evening playing cards at my niece’s house. The black eyed peas and turnip greens are simmering and before lunch, I’ll stick a skillet of cornbread in the oven.
<looks around>
So ---- not much different from last year.
The Old Wench is not working today so we’re in that mode of “do I drive to work or have her drop me off so she has the car” mode. She has been running the edges of a cold so I may drive myself and just let her chill.
I have a tidbit to share that may serve to restore a wee bit of faith in humanity.
Yesterday, I had to pick up an item for VWife at the local Tar-zhee, and I got into an un-fight with a guy over a parking spot. We spotted it at the same time, and signalled for it at the same time too. He kept waving me in, and I was flashing head lights at him to take it. There was a distinct vibe of the Looney Tunes polite gophers (“After you” “No, after you”) going on.
I spotted a different spot about 4 cars away, and went for that one instead.
So, just to destroy any good feelings from the un-fight, my next stop at Wally*World pretty much undid everything. They were elbow-to-asshole busy, and I’ll bet I spent a half hour in line to check out. The cashier was having trouble getting a gift card to work, causing the delay. When I got up to her to pay, some jackass about 3 carts back opened up with a lot of snide comments intended for everyone to hear.
“You need to open another register here!”
“Hey cashier, are you new or something?”
“Walmart, you have a problem with this line!”
Ad nauseum. :rolleyes:
The poor cashier was gritting her teeth and praying under her breath, “Help me lord, I don’t need this today.” After the jackass started in with the second iteration of “We have a problem here…” I said to the register babe, “The problem is that you’re a grandstanding asshole.”
She lost it, and had to stop ring up my stuff until she quit laughing. “I love it when the customers say what I’m thinking.”
I replied, “I love it when people think the way I do.”
**BBBobbio **- **FCD **ventured into WalMart yesterday, and immediately ventured out. We went this morning after breakfast, and it was practically empty, so we were in and out fast! Same in Best Buy and Lowe’s. So all our errands were done pretty quick.
He’s built a shelf to keep his computer off the floor, and I just finished priming my smoker stand. With luck, it’ll be dry later this afternoon and I can put the paint on today. Then tomorrow we can add the formica and it’ll be done. Yay for productivity!
Ham and cabbage and some manner of starch for supper. Plus I’m going to make a cream cheese coffee cake for dessert - the recipe looks tasty and simple enough.
So goeth the day…
