It’s raining here, so I can’t mow. Going to head out and check on the hens in a little bit, but before I go, we need a new post like Joe Biden needs a clue, so here we go.
How to burn rocks.
This was on an MMM source site, but I try to make each of those images just one lady, so here ya go.
Also, this is an excellent post because I didn’t have to do it.
Also, this is going around but there is a lot of “nailed it” in it:
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Democrats demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
Change “republican” to “conservative” and I think it’s perfect.
A proper squat acheives a straight-line vertical bar path through careful stabilization and proper skeletal loading. If you do it correctly, you stimulate every muscle in your legs, your spinal erectors, even your abdominals (the primary purpose of which is torso stabilization). It’s a wonderful exercise and should feature prominently in anyone’s routine if they care about health and longevity.
A “squat” on the Smith Machine takes away the role of the abdominals and much of the posterior chain, along with much hamstring and calf involvement (since you aren’t stabilizing). Excessive quad development without compensatory hamstring development can make you prone to knee hyperextension and buckling. It can also be easily done with unnatural skeletal loading (pushing with the wrong part of your back while leaning), which can lead to improper bone growth and contribute to long-term problems with the spine and pelvis.
I use the smith for all of my bench work because I don’t need a spotter and can still rep to failure.
Don’t do squats anymore (2 back surgeries). If i concentrate on my form and go easy on the weight I could probably add them back in, but the back issue has me spooked.
Has anybody here ever installed a dry vent booster fan? Looks like around $200 for the fan kit. I’ve got about 15 feet with 2 90 degree turns from my dryer to the outside and there ain’t squat coming out the vent on the side of the house.
I have similar but less serious concerns about Smith benching. I’d supplement it with dumbbell benches to make sure you get some stabilization work in. You can always rep to failure on those.
I generally don’t work to failure on big exercises (I usually have a fixed target or stop when I think I’ve only got one more in me) because it can be very fatiguing for the central nervous system.
And yeah, I’d be very, very cautious with squats after back surgery, particularly if you had any vertebrae fused. Go very light.
Pup, before you spend 2 hundy I would disassemble the vent stack first to see if there is a clog problem, then run your dryer for 30 seconds and feel what the blow rate (SYWM) is.
PS – there also might be a hole or leak before it gets to the outside.
Yannow, I really, really freaking hate the fact that Romney put his dog up on the roof of his car like that. It’s such a douchebag manuever and was really cruel.
but I’m sure that topic has been covered here already.
I’m of two minds about the Romney part of this kerfluffle. On the one hand, it seems cruel and dangerous, but I didn’t see the set up, and I’ve seen plenty of happy looking dogs riding in truck beds. I also don’t know that he did it again after the first time. Assuming he didn’t, it could just be a stupid mistake.
Thing is, when a dog’s in the back of a truck, if they want to lay down to get out of the wind, they can and it’s a little bit more freedom.
I just hate that people are defending Romney’s putting of the dog on the roof just because he’s a Republican.
back in the day as kids we slept in the back windows of cars and dogs did indeed ride on the luggage racks along with many other things big nanny now deems “unsafe”
Yeah, I agree it’s weird………..all of this is weird. Frankly, I don’t care that Obama ate dog as a boy, either.
When you’re a kid, you eat what they give you in those countries.
This whole thing is taking away from the real issues facing our country………like who the hell is going to buff this callous off my big toe? Those are questions the people want answered.
I don’t care that Obama ate dog either. I just enjoy feeding this fake outrage back at the left because apparently they aren’t going to quit trying to create mountains out of this sort of irrelevant bullshit.
If you showed me that Romney as an adult tortured animals, that would disqualify him for me. But I’ll bet that dog had a better life than mine does.
I just enjoy feeding this fake outrage back at the left because apparently they aren’t going to quit trying to create mountains out of this sort of irrelevant bullshit.
I can totally agree with you there. I guess I’m just sick of seeing it all over FB every three seconds.
The only reason anyone’s bringing up the dog consumption is precisely to make fun of the nothingburger accusations of dog abuse from the Left. I don’t care what he ate when he was 10, I care that his media allies are trying to make me think that a father of 5 is some kind of sadist because it suits their purposes. The dog-eating charge is intended as a refutation of that absurdity.
>> I just hate that people are defending Romney’s putting of the dog on the roof just because he’s a Republican.
That’s not the point. The media and David Axlerod ginned up a non-story about Romney and his dog, even Diane f’n Sawyer thinks this is worth several questions in an interview. So the DC and others are using Obama’s own words to throw it right back in their faces.
Of course it’s a distraction. But it is making lefties madder than hell and that makes it a beautiful thing.
Romney: ate a Mr. Chips cookie (the cookie thing is a bs story too)
Obama: ate “Mr. Chips!”
Well, if you were here instead of FB, you would only see it every 7th comment instead of every other.
hahaha, I see where I need to be.
I care that his media allies are trying to make me think that a father of 5 is some kind of sadist because it suits their purposes. The dog-eating charge is intended as a refutation of that absurdity.
I’m getting it now. Clearly I need to hang at the hostages more because going to school is making me ignorant of the world around me.
You could probably get a dog to lick that callous off your foot PJM. They have rough tongues I hear. I hatehatehate the new comment box. sometimes I can barely read what I have written. No hope for edxiting.
I just enjoy feeding this fake outrage back at the left because apparently they aren’t going to quit trying to create mountains out of this sort of irrelevant bullshit.
————————————-
I don’t remember things being this dumb so quickly in other elections, but then again, I’ve only paid attention to 4.
I would think that the GSA and SS scandal would be a bigger story. I would like a better government, for our money.
But the dog thing is pretty funny. I just think it’s funny to see the Obama people stepping on their dicks so much. It shows me they don’t have a good plan yet, and Republicans are kind of fed up with this shit.
Here’s a similar thing: apparently one of Romney’s ancestors was a polygamist-type of Mormon.
Which is totally Mitt’s fault, since he was only a hundred years from being born, yet somehow failed to take the old man aside for a heart-to-heart on the matter.
That’s ^ the typical response to such stupid information. Pointing out the logical fault. It doesn’t work, of course, because Romney will still have the stain of Moroms-are-weird-cultists thing on him just from the initial volley.
When you have a president as deeply weird as the one we have now, there is really no need to resort to brute logic. We can go straight to slinging emotion around now, too.
Who needs the GOP? We can carry this water just fine, all by ourselves. Every time the WH shits a hashtag on Twitter it gets pwned in about 5 minutes and beaten like a red-headed stepchild for days.
Although even squish McCain jumped on the dog thing.
Even funnier was the exchange between Axlerod and Romney’s advisor over that pic of Obama with Bo in the limosine, which showed me Romney’s team if perfectly willing and able to kick em in the nuts when they want to.
Hahaha I am so proud of the people on Twitter and FB jumping in and mocking every faux outrage the MFM and DEMS keep ginning up to distract the “It’s shiny” voters. In context.
Sean, thanks for the reminder. AoS Rules of Commenting. I’m also thrilled that JEF got booed at Fenway yesterday. All the bogus polls about SCOAMFs personal popularity are BS and that proves it. Better than Biden being booed in Pittsburgh.
SIGH. Customer just called and asked me to wait for him. He’s seven highway exits away.
*doggie nose whine*
Beautiful Saturday, rain is coming this afternoon…keep your store open for me, please. I have to purchase one cardboard box. Be there in fifteen minutes.
Bush 41 was using a high tech partial UPC scanner and Quayle was reading off a teacher prepped note card. These BS things matter. Obama is too smart and serious to make fun of by comedians. Eff em. This ain’t 2008.
Mare – if she’s around – I have no idea what happened. She either had something wrong with her – OR – she got her foot stuck in the chicken wire (which is how I found her) and struggled and got pecked.
She perked up a bit when I picked her up … and I put in in a crate by herself with food and water, but she was dead this morning.
If Dan Quayle was President Mom Jeans, Potatoegate would have never been mentioned. I’m just enjoying the gloating. It has been great since Ann Romney slapped down the faux SAHM narrative.
To add insult to injury, the picture that shows up if you zoom in was taken when we still lived there. I’m looking at that very same swingset right now.
Hah! If you scroll down to the house at the corner of Montgomery and Monarch, it’s the one Roy Williams (the safety, not the wide receiver) lived in when they filmed him for MTV “Cribs”.
Dat Nguyen and Nate Newton lived just around the corner.
Oh, hell no. At the end of August it’ll be green as can be. The cost og the 20,000 gallons a day of water pumped on it to keep it that way will bring tears to your eyes, though.
Just divided a bunch of waterlilies. Two of them jumped their pots last year and created a giant colony on the bottom of the pond. THAT was fun to dredge out. And heavy as Hell. And stinky. Peeyoo.
Shucks. I don’t think my little patio gets enough sun for water lilies or I’d ask for a bulb. I understand they’re pretty easy to keep in a simple clay-pot water garden.
Yes. Come to think of it, we did join during the early W years.
We used to have a load of lib teachers in our group. When Bush got in and everyone started calling him “W”, I changed our scoring sheets so that you had to circle a “W” for when you won your game. I laughed like hell as the libs seethed that they had to circle the “W”. Bwahahahaha!
Jew, I have a couple mid-size dwarf waterlilies and some true miniatures too. I did pot three of the little ones up in big plastic urns off to the outside of the pond.
I still have several miniatures to divide. A couple of them are so exceedingly small that they can be potted in a teacup and set in a water urn the size of a salad bowl! Therefore you don’t need much of a sunbeam to keep them alive. Or you could move it around periodically to where the sun is. ‘Helvola’ is my favorite of this group. Reddish young lilypads that mature to olive-green, and spiky butter-yellow blooms 1- 1 1/2″ across. And lots of them, even when it gets real hot out. Especially when it gets hot out, actually.
The main problem with potted watergardens is mosquito larvae. I just throw a couple baby minnows in my gigantic water pots and make sure the base of the pot is shaded during the heat of the day so they will have a cool patch of water in there.
You can use those floating mosquito dunks too, but they’re unsightly and I find as the medium decomposes, it causes big mats of filamentous algae to form.
If you had a really small bowl garden, you could simply chuck & change the water every three days. Or get a betta fish.
Yeah, but waterlilies don’t care for water that moves too much. They’ll do fine in a very (VERY) slow current but much more and their growth suffers. I’ve seen them near fast-moving water, but always in protected pockets off to the sides.
If you had a two-stage potting plan which gradually pulled water from the lily pocket without creating a strong current within it, that would be pretty much the same dealio.
Since I ditched Graziella and some of the other changeable color-type miniatures, all my waterlilies bloom for me. I’ve been water gardening for over ten years and have had a lot of lilies. I’m on my permanent collection now, I think. I don’t keep the plants that just sit there being all leafy.
You gotta try tropical waterlilies. They can be miniaturized successfully (potted in a solo cup, inside the larger tub of water) but will bloom full-size flowers. In your climate its a cinch. It’s the only way to get blue waterlilies, too. Hardies don’t come in that color.
Mowed an acre or so. Had to gas up the mower at the 3/4 mark. Fed horses, barn cat, indoor cats, dog, and chickens. Medicated cat and dog. Poured iced tea to drink before I head out to buy supplies.
I just gave my maid the Easter lily I bought. It was played out, but she was happy to take it. I guess she’s willing to take care of it until next year. I’ll buy another one for $8 at the grocery store.
the details: Phil Humber threw the first perfect game in the majors in almost two years, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
It was baseball’s 21st perfect game and first since Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay threw one against the Florida Marlins on May 29, 2010. It was the third in White Sox’s history, joining Mark Buehrle against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009, and Charles Robertson against Detroit on April 30, 1922.
I do not have any tropical waterlilies anymore, Michael, sorry. Last time I did, I gave them to a friend in Texas to overwinter and that was the year Texas froze. Boo.
Don’t feel bad, Laura. I’m just looking to expand my collection. I have a spider plant, and there are some angel hair ferns scattered around my complex that I’m tempted to violate.
Get yourself a Pothos vine in a basket and hang it up. That shit is nearly indestrucible. It is basically a weed. I remember seeing masses of it growing along the road in Asia.
I used to have 4 orchids, 3 philodendrons (8 feet long), 2 deiffenbachias, 2 geraniums, a spider plant, a variegated spider plant, a hoya, a christmas cactus, christmas peppers, and a couple of african violets.
I love christmas cactus. Got one in the yard right now, in a pot, located where it gets watered. It looks pathetic, but I’m hoping it will come back and bloom next winter and I can bring it inside.
I’m at my stepmom’s house. My dad finally got an offer on his house, so I’m helping him clear it out. Mom’s packrat tendencies make me want to go minimalist.
Hey Laura, this is my replacement plant for the mexican fan palm that keeled over last year. It started in a 5 gallon pot. I think it’s dangerous now, or soon.
Dave, I’m as ignorant as can be about your hot-climate plants. I have no idea what that thing is but the leaves are beautiful. Please take a pic of the blooms!
btw, Roamy 1, printer 0.
It required resetting Norton to actually allow talking to the printer, rebooting, running the wireless printer utility, and manually entering the printer’s IP address, but that POS prints now.
Roamy, check eBay. I was shocked to find how much early out of print trashy romance novels were going for. I think I would join the H2 divorce group if I were to accept 1000 books.
Roamy, we have a few paperback exchanges here. Dan still can’t get me to get rid of all my books. I sent my Thor’s, Flynn’s, and Connelly’s to Iraq. The VA likes getting books too. When my Dad was at the assisted living place, I dropped off books there as well.
There’s Mom’s books, which are mostly cheesy romances. Then there’s Dad’s. Fewer books, but mostly hardback. Dale Brown, Dan Balducci, W.E.B. Griffin, Tom Clancy, etc.
The three boxes of printed out emails still cracks me up.
I give my used books to a guy who runs a small book store across the river. He sells them used in the store or on line. As for my old graphic novels, I trade them for credit at the comic book store.
Okay, ace has Amazon ads over at the HQ, and they include a variety of products, some of which I’ve recently searched for. I don’t remember looking for this, though, and it keeps appearing in the ads…

Xbrad, that is the same image of Donald that is on my Tee about Donald realizing he isn’t wearing pants. I love Donald. I have the serape wearing sombrero Donald too. Hispanics love Donald Duck.
Yeahp, but it’s gotta be a pump action. They’re cheap, and an 18″ barrel is accurate enough at close range. The main advantage is sound effect. The sound of racking a shell is unmistakable. 99.9% of home intruders, not wanting a 4″ hole in their chest, will promptly exit. No muss, no fuss, no having to repair and repaint walls or replace blood-stained carpeting, no tedious explanations about a cadaver to the police.
Many years ago, I actually saw a picture (from the coroner’s office) of a corpse hit by 12 gauge buckshot. It was a hitchhiker who had just been taken into the woods for a thrill kill.
Dang. You could see right through his chest. The entry and exit wounds were enormous.
Although buckshot is the normal home defense load, I have read cogent opinions that you should really use a heavier gauge birdshot, like you would use to hunt turkeys. The problem with buckshot is safety. You’re talking about an ounce of metal, backed by an enormous amount of gunpowder compared to a handgun. You can blow through your home intruder, a couple of walls (if not brick or stone), and hit your neighbor next door.
What about deaf burglars? You got yerself an ADA lawsuit on yer hands right there.
Not if he’s dead.
The first rule about shooting at someone is to shoot first. Even if you miss, the noise and muzzle flash give you an enormous advantage if you have to shoot again.
The second rule is to kill them. You don’t want to have a wounded burglar.
Back in the olden days of stone castle floors, or dirt floors in peasant huts, they would use thresh (basically stalk trash from the harvest) to keep the floors from being so cold in the winter. It was sorta like their carpet. The “threshold” was a barrier at the door to keep the thresh inside.
At least not tonight, Krow. I cleaned and cooked my tail off this afternoon for our bunco party. Didn’t win any money, but it was good company, and the folks who bought dessert left the left-overs behind: Brownies and a super creamy lemony cheese cake with fresh fruit on top and a layer of dark chocolate on the crust. ZOMFG.
here’s something pathological about surrounding yourself with plants you have to pay to water, and simultaneously cannot eat.
First with the running-hate, and now this. I think I’m going to kill you first at Lapeerpalooaza.
[oops, did I say that outloud?]
wakey wakey.
chicken was BURIED not fried yesterday. i also had to break up my chicks, because they started picking on one. BAD CHICKENS. The ones that were stuck with the pecked on looked depressed that they were separated.
BTW: That’s the most disturbing, egotistical, and hypocritical DemocRAT message.
I’m self made, but only because I am so extraordinarily awesome. The rest of you need help to make it in life. Not me, of course, but certainly the rest of you morons.
I actually have one teensy one, it never divides. Doesn’t travel across the pond either, it just sits there getting bigger like a little pine cone. It’s a native called Pygmaea, a true natural miniature. This one waterlily propagates by seed only. I raised it from seeds that were given to me. I had more but two disappeared over one Winter.
There are lots of places that sell a “Pygmaea Alba” but what they have is not the true plant, because theirs walks and divides and does not produce viable seeds.
I’m going to try to get more seeds off this one and get them started.
There’s a LOT of mislabeled water lilies and lotus out there. Water gardening is kind of weird this way. The old time hybridizers used to lie a lot about the pedigree of their new varieties. So there’s just lots of bad information on these sales sites.
Never liked the red waterlilies. It’s just not a calming color to have in the pond, to me. I’ve tried lots of colorful lilies but eventually get rid of them and always end up with yellow, salmon, pink and white.
Romney may have had a silver spoon in his mouth, but it appears through what I’ve read he wasn’t given big bucks until he made it himself and also after his father died.
Ann Romney tells of their living in a tiny place with three (or so) boys on campus while Mitt was finishing school.
Obama had much more of a spoon than Romney and I hope Obama tries to shame his own kids for their PLATINUM spoon.
Andy, glad you’re here. Do you know any really good local Texas banks (or National that operate here in Texas), that are in really solid financial standing? I’m very serious. And very pissed.
Scott, I read that in the comment section of the article and it just reinforced my decision.
BoA did not operate in Hawaii. We have one close by and use it for convenience. Most of our accounts are with USAA but with large business sized checks we couldn’t cash them like our others.
BOA is weird. We backfilled my black belt position with a BOA VP. Apparently everyone that works at BOA is a VP, and doesn’t actually know how to do anything.
He showed up to meet the management at our West Palm Beach office an hour late, sweating profusely, smelling of tequila, and looking like he slept in his clothes.
I remember the time my parents let me go to Mexico with Secret Service protection for a school trip. Aspen on the weekends. SPain. Africa safari.
Good times, good times.And all those trips to Hawaii for Christmas in a $3000 a night chateau.
This is what bugs me about people who say, “Well, BOOOSH took a lot more vacation days than Obama.” He went to his ranch in Crawford, and we the taxpayers didn’t get stuck with however many thousands of dollars of costs for accommodations.
>> He showed up to meet the management at our West Palm Beach office an hour late, sweating profusely, smelling of tequila, and looking like he slept in his clothes.
Andy, I saw that. My opinion of Wayne Hale went up after reading that he apologized to the foam people at Michoud. Mr. RFH reminded me that Hale had contacted him when he was leaving NASA and wanted to know if there was any way he could help. There wasn’t, but at least he tried.
BBT Mare. They saw the crash coming and avoided it. Was forced to take bailout money so others that took it would not be stigmatized paid it back in 90 days.

Now I know why Leon loves hitting the gym.
Actually, I usually find hot women at the gym very distracting. Not a complaint, but I’m there to accomplish something and it can slow me down.
Leon, what’s wrong with the Smith machine?

If you do it correctly, you stimulate every muscle in your legs, your spinal erectors, even your abdominals (the primary purpose of which is torso stabilization).

You asked
Squats scare me now (although I’m heading to class which has squats as a main component).
too much fiber
Squat is a fun word.
squat-squat-squat
Squatting in underpants.
Leon, Thanks!

Charlie Crist is a raging asshole. COCK!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/charlie-crist-admires-obama
He has the BALLS to call Obama a “centrist.” On what fricken planet, Charlie?
I have similar but less serious concerns about Smith benching. I’d supplement it with dumbbell benches to make sure you get some stabilization work in. You can always rep to failure on those.
I generally don’t work to failure on big exercises (I usually have a fixed target or stop when I think I’ve only got one more in me) because it can be very fatiguing for the central nervous system.
And yeah, I’d be very, very cautious with squats after back surgery, particularly if you had any vertebrae fused. Go very light.
Mare, Obama is a conservative democrat to some people, because he spends on businesses he wants to favor rather than nationalizing them outright.
Good morn. Off to help build the set for my daughter’s Spring middle school drama production. BBL
Time to start my turkey roasting.
Happy San Jacinto Day everybody!
G’Morning
I’d like to go on record as saying Obama is a commie fudge packer.
fin
Clint, packing fudge is a legitimate capitalist act performed often on and around Mackinac Island. There’s no way he’s ever packed fudge.
Total commie, though.
3 hours ’till I have a rested turkey to carve.

So far, I don’t recommend this book. The author is a socialist and it’s intruding on her history and science discussion.
Obama ate a dog.
Obama ate a dog.
It’s not nice to say things like that about Michelle.
Morning peeps!
Obama ate a fudge packed dog?
Hi Peej
heya Peej, hows thangs?
I gave the pullets some goldenrod and a dandelion cluster this AM. I got lots of morning peeps.
mornin.
Pup, before you spend 2 hundy I would disassemble the vent stack first to see if there is a clog problem, then run your dryer for 30 seconds and feel what the blow rate (SYWM) is.

Yannow, I really, really freaking hate the fact that Romney put his dog up on the roof of his car like that. It’s such a douchebag manuever and was really cruel.
but I’m sure that topic has been covered here already.
at least mitt didnt sautee the pooch
hahaha, I’m sure Obama didn’t either. I’m not an Obama apologist, but he was a kid. I’m sure his chef sauteed it.
wait! no silver spoons!
Aside from being a commie fudge packer, Obama laughed at this dog right before his chef sauteed it … I’m pretty sure.
does pooch go with aruglia tho?
I’m of two minds about the Romney part of this kerfluffle. On the one hand, it seems cruel and dangerous, but I didn’t see the set up, and I’ve seen plenty of happy looking dogs riding in truck beds. I also don’t know that he did it again after the first time. Assuming he didn’t, it could just be a stupid mistake.
I’m sure he took it for a walk and played fetch with it, too.
Lookie what the dog drug in. Hiya Peej
much like he does with Moo’chelle today
PJ, have you ever seen a dog in the back of a pickup? Also, they said the dog loved being up there.
It strikes me as odd. Certainly this family is quirky. But the dog was apparently safe and traveled like that all the time.
heya cyn, i finally finished off the 52oz this morning at 6:00
Look, I’m saying yes it’s weird. Meh.
Thing is, when a dog’s in the back of a truck, if they want to lay down to get out of the wind, they can and it’s a little bit more freedom.
I just hate that people are defending Romney’s putting of the dog on the roof just because he’s a Republican.
i finally finished off the 52oz this morning at 6:00
Lazy slacker!
back in the day as kids we slept in the back windows of cars and dogs did indeed ride on the luggage racks along with many other things big nanny now deems “unsafe”
The dog lived Peej.
it was kinda watery cyn, i was in deep discomfort over that
Yeah, I agree it’s weird………..all of this is weird. Frankly, I don’t care that Obama ate dog as a boy, either.
When you’re a kid, you eat what they give you in those countries.
This whole thing is taking away from the real issues facing our country………like who the hell is going to buff this callous off my big toe? Those are questions the people want answered.
The dog lived Peej.
You are correct.
He made a windscreen for the dog, Peej.

I don’t care that Obama ate dog either. I just enjoy feeding this fake outrage back at the left because apparently they aren’t going to quit trying to create mountains out of this sort of irrelevant bullshit.
If you showed me that Romney as an adult tortured animals, that would disqualify him for me. But I’ll bet that dog had a better life than mine does.
Oh, and by the way, we aren’t talking about the unemployment numbers.

The only reason anyone’s bringing up the dog consumption is precisely to make fun of the nothingburger accusations of dog abuse from the Left. I don’t care what he ate when he was 10, I care that his media allies are trying to make me think that a father of 5 is some kind of sadist because it suits their purposes. The dog-eating charge is intended as a refutation of that absurdity.
AZZ = Ask

No, but I’d commute for a foot rub.
>> I just hate that people are defending Romney’s putting of the dog on the roof just because he’s a Republican.
That’s not the point. The media and David Axlerod ginned up a non-story about Romney and his dog, even Diane f’n Sawyer thinks this is worth several questions in an interview. So the DC and others are using Obama’s own words to throw it right back in their faces.
Of course it’s a distraction. But it is making lefties madder than hell and that makes it a beautiful thing.
Romney: ate a Mr. Chips cookie (the cookie thing is a bs story too)
Obama: ate “Mr. Chips!”

Here’s a similar thing: apparently one of Romney’s ancestors was a polygamist-type of Mormon.
Which is totally Mitt’s fault, since he was only a hundred years from being born, yet somehow failed to take the old man aside for a heart-to-heart on the matter.
That’s ^ the typical response to such stupid information. Pointing out the logical fault. It doesn’t work, of course, because Romney will still have the stain of Moroms-are-weird-cultists thing on him just from the initial volley.
When you have a president as deeply weird as the one we have now, there is really no need to resort to brute logic. We can go straight to slinging emotion around now, too.

Oh, hell no. At the end of August it’ll be green as can be. The cost og the 20,000 gallons a day of water pumped on it to keep it that way will bring tears to your eyes, though.
$300 bucks a month, last summer in the heat wave, and the drought, and I still lost plants.

And just whose idea was it to join some damn bunco dealy so that I’d have to clean my house and cook like a mad woman? o_O
Cyn, I blame Bush
Just divided a bunch of waterlilies. Two of them jumped their pots last year and created a giant colony on the bottom of the pond. THAT was fun to dredge out. And heavy as Hell. And stinky. Peeyoo.
I smell like a walking fart.
But got some sun and feel great.
*flexes hump*
Sonofabitch
Shucks. I don’t think my little patio gets enough sun for water lilies or I’d ask for a bulb. I understand they’re pretty easy to keep in a simple clay-pot water garden.
Yes. Come to think of it, we did join during the early W years.
We used to have a load of lib teachers in our group. When Bush got in and everyone started calling him “W”, I changed our scoring sheets so that you had to circle a “W” for when you won your game. I laughed like hell as the libs seethed that they had to circle the “W”. Bwahahahaha!
*jumping water lilies from pots*
*struggles to comprehend this*
What the hell, I’ve been in the yard all day too and gots sunned. Shirt off. Neighbor kids weren’t too all fucked up, well, it’s not like I care.

Back to cleaning since no one wants some shiny new coins. Pffft.
What I know about gambling, cards, and dice would fit in your eye.
I can muddle through 11 Point Pitch, Poker, Gin Rummy, and Black Jack.
Jew, I have a couple mid-size dwarf waterlilies and some true miniatures too. I did pot three of the little ones up in big plastic urns off to the outside of the pond.
I still have several miniatures to divide. A couple of them are so exceedingly small that they can be potted in a teacup and set in a water urn the size of a salad bowl! Therefore you don’t need much of a sunbeam to keep them alive. Or you could move it around periodically to where the sun is. ‘Helvola’ is my favorite of this group. Reddish young lilypads that mature to olive-green, and spiky butter-yellow blooms 1- 1 1/2″ across. And lots of them, even when it gets real hot out. Especially when it gets hot out, actually.
The main problem with potted watergardens is mosquito larvae. I just throw a couple baby minnows in my gigantic water pots and make sure the base of the pot is shaded during the heat of the day so they will have a cool patch of water in there.
You can use those floating mosquito dunks too, but they’re unsightly and I find as the medium decomposes, it causes big mats of filamentous algae to form.
If you had a really small bowl garden, you could simply chuck & change the water every three days. Or get a betta fish.
My Aunt Va used to have Bunco parties. I got to fill in one time when I was 14. It was fun. 20$ yadda yadda. Obama ate dog.
I think the Tuna is a beta fish than a minnow!
ive seen old police files where they would have all these old ladies running these illegal Bunco and numbers rackets. In NYC there were about 2K cases
A good moderate current from a powerhead and an aerator is usually enough to control the mosquitoes (and algae) without disturbing the plants.
I’ve never heard of miniatures. Do they bloom for you?
>> back in the day there were con games and rigged dice games that were illegal
The duece you say!
>> The main problem with potted watergardens is mosquito larvae.
The second main problem is life.
see what I did there? “duece”
I kill myself
Yeah, but waterlilies don’t care for water that moves too much. They’ll do fine in a very (VERY) slow current but much more and their growth suffers. I’ve seen them near fast-moving water, but always in protected pockets off to the sides.
If you had a two-stage potting plan which gradually pulled water from the lily pocket without creating a strong current within it, that would be pretty much the same dealio.
Since I ditched Graziella and some of the other changeable color-type miniatures, all my waterlilies bloom for me. I’ve been water gardening for over ten years and have had a lot of lilies. I’m on my permanent collection now, I think. I don’t keep the plants that just sit there being all leafy.
Weatherbug is reporting .92 in the rain guage on the other side of the Conodoguinet creek from us.
Perform or get chucked in the woods. They know the rules.
*hears the screams of a thousand tiny waterlily divisions that were chucked in the woods today*
*fingers in ears LAALA LALALA LA LA LA LA*
I’ve never tried water gardening, but a two-stage potted garden is what I’ve researched, and what would work on my patio.
Were the waterlilies that ended up in the woods home to the Heron surviving frogs?
You gotta try tropical waterlilies. They can be miniaturized successfully (potted in a solo cup, inside the larger tub of water) but will bloom full-size flowers. In your climate its a cinch. It’s the only way to get blue waterlilies, too. Hardies don’t come in that color.
It is a beautiful spring day here, cool, sunny and breezy. Why am I fartin around on the internets instead of being outside and enjoying it?
Yeah, I did some yard time today as well. It was beautiful.
Do you know what is best in life?
No, you don’t, so I will tell you what is best in life.
Contrary to what you may have heard, it is not crushing your enemies, driving them before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women
What is best in life is eating a toasted bagel with butter, a schmeer of cream cheese, and cherry-berry preserves, outdoors on a beautiful spring day.
That is what is best in life.

Phil Humber threw the first perfect game in the majors in almost two years, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
It was baseball’s 21st perfect game and first since Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay threw one against the Florida Marlins on May 29, 2010. It was the third in White Sox’s history, joining Mark Buehrle against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009, and Charles Robertson against Detroit on April 30, 1922.
I do not have any tropical waterlilies anymore, Michael, sorry. Last time I did, I gave them to a friend in Texas to overwinter and that was the year Texas froze. Boo.

what? Hey, who wants somethin from Taco Bell?
I’ll take one of everything, Dave.
The last time I got something from Taco Bell, I got something from Taco Bell. That was more than ten years ago.
MCPO gets a grilled steak stuffed Dorito taco burrito chalupa with extra gunk. I’m eatin two of em.
We have Taco Cabana. I can’t remember the last time I was at a Del Taco or Taco Bell.
Oso, i have about 50 meetings of the mind on DVD

In Denver I used to get a huge burrito at Boca Grande and after consuming it I resembled a python that had swallowed a pig (but never a dog)
oy, Im not allowed near a Taco Hell
Del Taco is far superior if you’re in the mood for cheap Messican food. I ain’t ever got diarrhitos from Del Taco.
Sorry, Chief. Eating Green chile meatloaf that my hubby created right now. WP, that is cool. I loved that show.

Yeahp, but it’s gotta be a pump action. They’re cheap, and an 18″ barrel is accurate enough at close range. The main advantage is sound effect. The sound of racking a shell is unmistakable. 99.9% of home intruders, not wanting a 4″ hole in their chest, will promptly exit. No muss, no fuss, no having to repair and repaint walls or replace blood-stained carpeting, no tedious explanations about a cadaver to the police.

Many years ago, I actually saw a picture (from the coroner’s office) of a corpse hit by 12 gauge buckshot. It was a hitchhiker who had just been taken into the woods for a thrill kill.
Dang. You could see right through his chest. The entry and exit wounds were enormous.
Although buckshot is the normal home defense load, I have read cogent opinions that you should really use a heavier gauge birdshot, like you would use to hunt turkeys. The problem with buckshot is safety. You’re talking about an ounce of metal, backed by an enormous amount of gunpowder compared to a handgun. You can blow through your home intruder, a couple of walls (if not brick or stone), and hit your neighbor next door.
I guess I win the Thread-Killer Award again.
yay im not the only one!

#7 birdshot will take an intruder down. . . if he’s dumb enough to stay after hearing me rack a round.

The first rule about shooting at someone is to shoot first. Even if you miss, the noise and muzzle flash give you an enormous advantage if you have to shoot again.
The second rule is to kill them. You don’t want to have a wounded burglar.
Third rule is to make sure that they’re inside your threshold.
I thought the first rule about shooting at someone was that you don’t talk about shooting at someone.
I don’t think we’ve violated that rule. Technically.
Wanna know where the word “threshold” comes from?
Back in the olden days of stone castle floors, or dirt floors in peasant huts, they would use thresh (basically stalk trash from the harvest) to keep the floors from being so cold in the winter. It was sorta like their carpet. The “threshold” was a barrier at the door to keep the thresh inside.

It’s not too late to save those lilies you chucked. If you act fast.
Bah. I saved all the best pieces. Not going to bother trading those little divs.
I actually have one teensy one, it never divides. Doesn’t travel across the pond either, it just sits there getting bigger like a little pine cone. It’s a native called Pygmaea, a true natural miniature. This one waterlily propagates by seed only. I raised it from seeds that were given to me. I had more but two disappeared over one Winter.
There are lots of places that sell a “Pygmaea Alba” but what they have is not the true plant, because theirs walks and divides and does not produce viable seeds.
I’m going to try to get more seeds off this one and get them started.
There’s a LOT of mislabeled water lilies and lotus out there. Water gardening is kind of weird this way. The old time hybridizers used to lie a lot about the pedigree of their new varieties. So there’s just lots of bad information on these sales sites.
The new guys are more trustworthy.
After the pond bottom gets cleaned, I’m repotting and sinking two BIG divs of this one: http://www.bonniesplants.com/lilies_hardy/ar-en-ciel.htm
and this one: http://www.watergarden.org/s.nl/it.A/id.572/.f
down to the very bottom of the ‘deep’ part of the pond.
Never liked the red waterlilies. It’s just not a calming color to have in the pond, to me. I’ve tried lots of colorful lilies but eventually get rid of them and always end up with yellow, salmon, pink and white.

Romney may have had a silver spoon in his mouth, but it appears through what I’ve read he wasn’t given big bucks until he made it himself and also after his father died.
Ann Romney tells of their living in a tiny place with three (or so) boys on campus while Mitt was finishing school.
Obama had much more of a spoon than Romney and I hope Obama tries to shame his own kids for their PLATINUM spoon.

Andy, glad you’re here. Do you know any really good local Texas banks (or National that operate here in Texas), that are in really solid financial standing? I’m very serious. And very pissed.
Scott, I read that in the comment section of the article and it just reinforced my decision.
BoA did not operate in Hawaii. We have one close by and use it for convenience. Most of our accounts are with USAA but with large business sized checks we couldn’t cash them like our others.
BOA is weird. We backfilled my black belt position with a BOA VP. Apparently everyone that works at BOA is a VP, and doesn’t actually know how to do anything.
He showed up to meet the management at our West Palm Beach office an hour late, sweating profusely, smelling of tequila, and looking like he slept in his clothes.
Just had a discussion with my husband…done deal…BoA can screw themselves. And we’re going to tell them why.
Hey, still need a recommendation here for a bank in Texas. Thank you.
