Took Gordie on a couple of long walks, now I’m watching the NHL Winter Classic. Life is good.
Company has come and gone. YAY! A good time was had by all. Good friends. Good and funny conversation. Good food, if’n I do say so myself. Anywho the dishwasher is doin’ it’s thang and chill mode has ensued. 'Tis cool and cloudy out but it feels good.
And that’s the current news from swampland.
My preferred weather site says it’s sunny here. Been saying that all day. I have yet to see evidence of sun, altho there is a brighter spot in one clump of clouds. Yeah, right, sunny…
The primer isn’t drying, so I won’t be able to put on the coat of paint till tomorrow. I just put the coffee cake in the oven. If it’s good, I’ll post a link to the recipe. If it’s not, I’ll just bitch about it for a while. 
I’m pretty sure it’s going to be good, tho. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it.
**FCD **is still playing with his new computer, loading software and such. It’s weird having him sitting behind me - usually he’s on the couch and I can see him by turning my head slightly to the right. Now I have to go 90° to the left to see him. My life is so hard!!!
That was good nappage. Now I shall forage* for dinner.
*translation - peruse GrubHub and figure out what I’m in the mood for
Aw, thanks, you guys! It’s nice to be missed. 
I heard that Natalie Cole died last night. Sad face. Her “Unforgettable” album was the first album I ever memorized front-to-back. Loved it.
Happy Firday!
Happy New Year!
I wish I could say I’m late because I was up partying all night, but that the case. My computer crashed, irk was busy, and then I needed a nap.
I know you’re right FCM - and all y’all in here are not imaginary. Out there, I have no idea who all those people are. I will say a few weeks ago I did something I never do, I put somebody on ignore, or block, or whatever you call it.
Normally I’m pretty good at bypassing the bullshit, but their bullshit could fill a stadium.
Flytrap - it gets very tedious to deal with such people. You have to watch every damn thing you say and you’re constantly explaining what you meant.
She pissed me off the other day.
I’m not going into it, it would take too long.
Essentially she ruins every possible relationship she gets into because she is so insecure and thinks every man she dates is lying to her and cheating on her.
She had really gone through some convoluted logic to get to that conclusion with the latest potential love interest. Her leaps of illogic would have challenged an agility dog.
I told her she will never be happy in a relationship if she is going to question everything the guy says or does, and if she is always going to be looking for something to be wrong.
She twisted that into me saying she is a horrible, bad person who is mentally ill.
Yesterday she started on the same topic again. I told her the same thing. Once again I am being mean to her and why am I so harsh? Don’t I understand she only wants what every woman wants, somebody to love and somebody who loves her - and ’ the only perfect person is Jesus Christ and even he had to ask for forgiveness’.
WTF??? I don’t even know how to respond to that.
Cornbread is in the oven and lunch/supper will be dished up soon. I’ve been so lazy today that I’m still in my jammies. I may get ambitious enough to shower and change into clean ones in a while, but then again, I may not. 
We done et - I cooked the onions, cabbage, and ham hunks in one pot, then baked some cornbread - all the talk of cornbread here got to me!
We’ll try the coffee cake in a bit - for now, we’re digesting. I’m about to call my mom and see how she’s doing. That translates to half an hour of listening.
All this time off has me messed up - I have to keep reminding myself it’s Firday. I guess once I get back to work, the days will fall into place.
Exactamundo.
I had fusilli bolognese, and it was teh yum!
I spent the whole day cooking and doing nothing. Tomorrow, I have to get an early start to figure out where in the hell I’m supposed to feed my radio’s cables through to install it in the new car. I tried to do it today, but it got dark before I could finish. It’s a simple enough operation, but finding the access through the firewall is a bitch.
‘Tis been a nice restful afternoon/evenin’ of chillage here in da cave. Nice to enjoy after the earlier in the day revelry. 
I just et some cornbread which I nuked and then slathered with butter. NUMMY!
BBBobbio good for you!
OK, story time. Now, as a rule I would not say anything about someone who has died, whatever the circumstances may be. However, this guy I feel did us all a favor by gettin’ himself outta the gene pool. I cannot help but believe with all my heart that fireworks fueled by many adult beverages led to his untimely demise. Big time fireworks became legal in Jawja as of July 1st 2015. Independence Day was not too bad as shootin’ off fireworks go, but last night sounded like a war zone in my hood for a while. I kept wanderin’ last night what would be the first fireworks related do yourself in story I would read today. On the plus side it wasn’t a local person so I guess I can give the neighborhood fire works shooters some credit for non-stoopid. Still, how dumbass is it to not notice that you are loadin’ fireworks into a shooter tube upside down!
**swampy **- I guess Darwin had it right…
And on that snarky note, I’m gonna log off and assume the recline position. We’re going to watch Sherlock on PBS at 9 tonight - looking forward to my Cumberbatch fix!
I used to know a girl named Mundo.
Never did figure out where she was from.
I never gave it much thought.
Fireworks were heavy duty here too. Had my animals all upset and went on til after 2 am.
Hope everybody made it through the first day of 2016 safely. Only 365 more to go!
I celebrated by not watching 8 hours of College football; instead I treated myself to a Red Robin burger and fries, and then went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. No spoilers, but I found it both better and worse than the original movie, but it was worth the $7.95. Thinking about going to see “The Big Short” on Saturday (I saw three movies in all of 2015, that would make two already in 2016).
To what end? :dubious:
We shall now retire to the boudoir to watch teevee until sleepy time which I feel will be soon.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
2016 is a Leap Year.
I’ve shot professional shows in the past. I’ve seen professionals mis-tube some. (That’s usually the cause of one that explodes say, 20-30’ above the ground). Many of the pro ones are round. Given that he was using a tube & it was powerful enough to kill him & it was dark out it sounds like a distinct possibility that it would have been easy to misload. That being said, professionals don’t typically hold the tube up over their head. :smack:
I just hope he uttered the proper phraseology first - “Here, hold my beer!”
Flytrap, when the year is divisible by four, as 2016 is, we get this special day added called February 29th. Hence, 365 days left in this year.
I made chipolte BBQ chicken, and now I’m watching Sherlock on Masterpiece Theater.
to quote Pink Floyd. “another day older, and one day closer to death”
