You didn’t mention the shade Leon.
I’m home. Last mile run. I’m alive . Fighter jets flew over me as I finished, probably as low as they’re allowed.
America! Fuck yea!
Glad you made it home alive.
You got a flyby for your runny run?
Impressive.
why was I not made aware of this yesterday evening?
HAPPY SURVIVING ANOTHER REVOLUTION AROUND THE SUN DAY, LAURA!!!!
Seriously, you don’t look a day over 45.
I love the Electric Mayhem. Thought it was going to be this one.

Happy birfday humpy.
I like you. This is the only time I’m admitting it.
You got a flyby for your runny run?
I know, how cool is that?
I’m just glad they flew over while I was running, not squatting in the woods.
Tmi? I mean, if Peej can share her face scrubber …
Seriously, you don’t look a day over 45.
**checks to see what the burst radius from Connecticut will be, warns Andy, Tushar and MCPO.
Good one, Roamy!
The Muppets always make me smile.
I hope MJ didn’t drown at his pool party last night.
I’m going to recover a bit and then try to swim in the lake. do some laps.
Isn’t that water freezing cold? Maybe Dave could check that out for you.
I was criss-crossing the road on my run – trying to get under every bit of shade possible. I know people are able to run in this heat – so I’m TRYING to acclimate myself to it.
So far, it’s not really working. I hate every minute of it, and have to run pretty slow.
Michigan weather is pretty hard to acclimate to the heat, though. It goes from 60 to 88. It’s not as if you have weeks of upper 70 degree weather to ease into it.
the water is kind cold, but when I do laps I can manage.
Roamy – how are the spider welts looking today?
**checks to see what the burst radius from Connecticut will be, warns Andy, Tushar and MCPO.
Hmmm… weatherman said it was supposed to be warm and sunny today, but I’m starting to feel a chill in the air and the skies are starting to look menacing…..
interesting……
man, did I have fun last night. Telling Geoff just how boned CT is was awesome, especially watching his jaw drop over and over again…
And, in case anyone cares, we just won our 3rd softball game straight this morning, putting our team at 5 and 2 and solidly in 2nd place in our league.
As the pitcher (TAKE IT, XBRAD!!) I have 10 strikeouts this season and only 2 walks, both of which were intentional.
Also, re-fuxxored my knee this morning, so WOO HOOOO HELLOOOOOOO VICODIN!!!!
*is glad she lives far, far away; puts on tinted welders face mask and sets up lawn chair*
Roamy – how are the spider welts looking today?
I’m sure the requisite “radioactive spider” jokes have already been made here, so I’ll just mention that I ever have to get bitten by anything radioactive, I want it to be a radioactive Sean Connery.
Sounds like a good time, Wiser.
I didn’t do anything nearly as exciting last night. Watched the final episode of Hatfields V. McCoys. Pretty good show. Man. That was a bad situation that just got worse and worse, huh?!
Apparently, Wiser, Roamy now has super tits.
The good thing about apt living is I cleaned (vacuumed, dusted, toilets, dishes, laundry etc) the entire place in 45 minutes. I did work up a sweat but Carin/Leon put me to shame
It’s such a nice day, I think I’ll do some gardeni….

Congrats on your game, wiser, and sorry to hear about your knee. They let you use substitute runners in your Seniors’ league, right?
Apparently, Wiser, Roamy now has super tits.
So, what you’re saying is, the spider bite changed nothing.
*whew
How’s your new furniture, Sohos? Have you napped on your new couch yet?!

Yeah, but you at least have to get to first base when you hit, before they can HEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!
It’s not a senior league, you bitch!
There is another guy on the team with the same name as me. So they started calling him “XXXX the Younger” and me “XXXX the Older.”
Today, they decided that was mean, so they now call me “XXXX the Wiser.”
And I had absolutely nothing to do with that decision. They know nothing of my on-line persona.
Cracked me up.
Hatfields V. McCoys. Pretty good show. Man. That was a bad situation that just got worse and worse, huh?!

well, gotta go. New flowers are here and need to be planted.
Hopefully we’ll get it done before laura gets back from shoveling compost and reads this thread.
Oooo, go with the chaise. Napping.Heaven.

Why don’t you mind your own beezwax? It’s obvious that you lack self esteem because you post so much on this terrible “blog” while wearing pretty dresses with daisies on them.
Ann Coulter and Van Jones are on the “This Week” panel.
Not only are they sitting next to each other, they’re sitting unnecessarily close to each other.
I think they may be having carnal relations. Like your mom and the Miami Heat.
Now wait just a galldarn minute! I am NOT wearing a dress you sonofabitch!
In Soviet Russia, pretty dress with daisy wears you!

Happy Birthday laura. I punched a hippie in the dick titballs for you.
Good morning, Pleasant Valley residents.
And congratulations on not dying for another year, laura.
Hey look. It’s deadMJau5.
We have an open house today. Your mom needs to get over here right away and clean.
I overestimated the amount of shade, but I was okay without water. I did end up taking my shirt off for the second leg of the trip to get my vitamin D for the day. Yep, just a shirtless white guy walking down the road with a row rake. Nothing to see, here.
Happy Birthday laura.

Oh, sure. I knew you’d survive.
but if you’d had water, would you have occasionally taken a sip?
It wouldn’t surprise me if David Axelrod has killed people.
He’s a deranged lying sociopath.
Okay I have to go clean.
Stupid non-self-cleaning house.
but if you’d had water, would you have occasionally taken a sip?
Out of boredom, maybe. I was well-hydrated upon departure.
OMG OMG OMG.
Just found a set list of what Radiohead played last night. OMG. 25 songs.
They open with a song from “King of Limbs” which isn’t my favorite album of theirs. But they really play a lot from through the years.

Yea, I’m just teasing. When I’m running, I don’t really need to take water for 3 or 4 miles. Anything over that, yes. And heat. But I could make it w/o.
It wouldn’t surprise me if David Axelrod has killed people.
I dunno about that. He strikes me more as the kind who gets other people to do his dirty work for him.

Shrinkage.

He HAS to job it out. This mook is so incompetent he can’t polish his own knob without an administrative assistant and an instruction manual. Honestly, everything about Barry and his team has been a fraud, including their vaunted campaign prowess. Just look at the self-inflicted wounds in the last month, the first serious month of the general election.
It wouldn’t surprise me if David Axelrod has killed people.
———————————
He’s a loser.
Good point, Eric. And nice to see you, by the way.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Axelrod has himself a little Himmler costume that he wears around the house on weekends. Another soft little creep who was good at telling thugs what to do.
Happy Birthday Laura!
It’s the combination of the Droopy Dawg face and the seventies porn-stache that makes Axelrod look like an unsuccessful furry ready to switch to pedophilia. The remarkable thing is that he was successful as a chief of staff for Daley (I think?) back in Chicago, or at least an operative with enough seniority that Barry accepted his superiors’ judgment and hired him. However he only knew one thing, how to run a Chicago shake-down. DC is not Chicago. The Obama administration is the Peter Principle in action.
BTW, have you flown any collapsible mini-helicopters while escaping a French château today, Mr. Bont?
Axelrod, et al. aren’t that bright, but I also think that the brightest folks on the team have been run out of town by Valerie Jarrett, who apparently has a political tin ear.

There’s boned and there’s Beyond the Valley of the Hyperboned. That’s where wiser, laura & scott live.
My husband is reading “Amateur” and is even more convinced that the Obama administration/advisor team are everything they appear to be…nasty, clownish, incompetent, hypocritical, Chicago goons.
Brad, your comment is right on they money if anything in the book is accurate.
Thanks again Cyn & everybody! Just got a nice phone call from my sister.
Decided not to go to the dump today. Gonna wait until WiserGoddess can accompany me next weekend. That will make it a really special day of togetherness-shoveling.
*clasps hands under chin and sighs in pure happiness*
Also, Michelle is a jealous, controlling, not too bright, bitch.
(conclusions from the book)
(Did you know that while in Chicago Michelle filed for divorce? Not earth shattering but it shows you how locked down info about the Obama’s was in Chicago.)
Sure, her birthday today, but how old is lauraw’s hump?
Perhaps Michelle decided she wanted to marry a man. On account of being in favor of gay marriage, and so forth.
BTW, have you flown any collapsible mini-helicopters while escaping a French château today, Mr. Bont?
No, but I did drive an Aston-Martin cleverly disguised to look like a ’99 Honda Accord home from a meeting this morning.
…but how old is lauraw’s hump?
It’s immortal, so it doesn’t really matter.
You may be right George.
There’s boned and there’s Beyond the Valley of the Hyperboned. That’s where wiser, laura & scott live.
When did they move to Bakersfield?
I love those commercials where the dorky Honda salesman in the blue tee shirt says “I’m here to be helpful,” and then demonstrates the .50 cal machine guns hidden behind the fog lamps.
The Hump of Laura… it’s like the Lord of the Rings. “One hump to hobble them all…”
Happy Birthday, Laura!

It’s pining for the fjords!

don’t make me kick you in the poon.
I also think that the brightest folks on the team have been run out of town by Valerie Jarrett, who apparently has a political tin ear.
I agree with you. There’s a core group around Obama that thinks that wishing for it will make it so.
If they hadn’t faked all of those signatures on the WI recall petitions, they might have realized that, no, they didn’t have enough support for what they were doing. Wishing again.
I think participation is a little low today because everyone is still reeling from the fact that there was no Chess Thread last night.
No Sunday Book Thread?
I did visit the book thread this morning.
There’s a core group around Obama that thinks that wishing for it will make it so.
Well, that’s not entirely their fault. I mean, they manged to get an Empty Suit (I’m being charitable there) elected to the most important position in the world with nothing but a bunch of vague Hope and Change bullshit. If I pulled that off, I might be excused for believing that I could conjure unicorns.
Roamy – still no (extra) super powers?
I LOVE Unicorns!
I think there was a point – probably back when he was in his younger 30′s – when obama stopped peddling bullshit, and went full board believing it. He was the smartest man in the room, etc. Everything was just so easy … and came so easily for him. I don’t know if he’s ever realized he’s not the One he was waiting for. Or if he just honestly believes that the forces against him are just evil evil evil.
Do complete empty suits ever realize that they’re just not that great?
Well, fack. It’s 90 degrees here. I’ve got my swimsuit on and I may just do a few laps very soon.
Carin, still experimenting.
**concentrates on giving Rosetta a hotfoot
Swimming sounds nice. There are days here when it’s almost too hot to swim. Crazy, I know.
Are you one of those folks that don’t believe in air conditioning, Carin?

No, I don’t think that they ever realize it.

I’m scheduled for an epiphany in ’16. November, I believe.
I’d like to go back in time to that fortune cookie company that gave Barry the fortune reading, “You could be the President”, and put invisible ink in all their machines. Worst Fortune Ever!
Prezidentin’ ain’t easy. Which is a realization it would be handy to have before stumbling into the job, but I guess you play the cards you’re dealt.
(Or whine constantly about the guy who got his cards before the dealer got to you.)
I’d never take the job. It’d be too hard to keep a straight face about how boned we are.

You don’t want to go messing with time travel, Cyn. Do that, and pretty soon the sky is choked with blimps, a Clone/Cyborg Hitler rules the world, and you’re your own grandfather.
Oh dear, I hadn’t thought of that. It would be so confusing to know whether to give the Werther’s away or eat it.
Mmmm…Werther’s.
OTOH, wouldn’t it be a kick in the pants to ride in a blimp? Or have blimp bumper rides in the sky? Oh, what a world this could be.
In this dimension, Clone/Cyborg Hitler has outlawed hard candy. Duh.
That sonofabitch.
I still want to do the blimp bumper sky ride once.

Me experience is that empty suits are discovered fairly quickly in most professions.
Not me.
I think we should buy a blimp with a see through and hover over big sporting events. Tell me that wouldn’t be a great party, and that people would pay a shit load of money for to see the super bowl like that.
Maybe we can put a bid in on the Peace Blimp?
Happy Hum… Birthday Laura. hope you’re having a wonderful day.

Are you one of those folks that don’t believe in air conditioning, Carin?
I don’t really like air conditioning, no. But Mr Car In is a FIRM believer. I turned the AC on around 2ish today. I’ll turn it off as soon as I can.
The water was nice. I’m completely comfortable now.
And it’s NEVER to hot to swim. Not in a lake.
or a pool. with air conditioning

No – I meant do THEY ever realize it?
I think Obama exists/existed in that quasi BS ether of semi- “profession” as an educator (of law). Most of professors just use big words to obscure what they’re talking about; using code words which convey supposed meaning they understand to be some sort of truism, w/o doing any of the hard work of defending or elucidating anything.
It’s like a group of woman, and one says “It’s because of PATRIARCHY”, and they all knowingly nod.
They get so lost in their own bs; so convinced off the affirmation of those nodding heads of agreement … they begin to think they know something.
Is MJ drinking already?
I don’t mind pools, but they have to be private pools. It’s too much work to go to some public pool … haul all your shit around, etc.
At a hotel, it’s ok. My mil always wanted to take the kids (and me) this public pool down by her. The pool was nice … but all the carrying and what not. Not worth it.
I don’t know how people survived in the days before air conditioning!
Speaking of a/c mine went out in my car again yesterday. UGH! Taking it back over to my brother to figure out
my pool is private.
good luck with the AC sohot.
Oh, I know yours is, Dave. I’m just carrying-on about somewhat related topics.
I don’t even put on a swimsuit. I just go out there nekkid and jump in.
95° today. Startin’ to get a little warm.
That’s a tad too private Batman.
I just mean I want to know most of the people sitting around the pool. Not that I want to see their goodies.
Are you saying I have to wear a swimsuit to jump in your lake?
Dang.
Yes. Unless it’s very, VERY dark.
And I’m passed out or asleep.
Just came back from the gym. There’s a young woman by the pool sunning herself. I’d like to get to know her. And her marvelous ass. And teach her to not listen to Creed in public.
No – I meant do THEY ever realize it?

It’s a really interesting question. Not the true BS artists like our esteemed president.

Beasn, we don’t usually do any birthday stuff. My family is pretty spartan about that sort of thing, once a body is past childhood.
It is really weird that my sisters called me today. But part of that was to plan next weekend that we’ll be spending together, so I think it was mostly that.
Mom called but it was not a birthday call, just the regular weekend phone call.
sisters. Had em all my life. Still freak me out.
*primal scream*
I haz 2 sisters. Sisters iz weird.
While I don’t really need or want anything for my bird day, my immediate family better acknowledge it. Like being nice to me or giving me time off from making dinner.
Second episode of Longmire is on later tonight. I think I will give it another peek. I don’t think it’s going to turn out being another Justified but it may suffice in the meantime. We’ll see.
*thinks about it*
Aww hell, everyday is my birfday.
More likely it may turn out to be another Jesse Stone … not all bad, that.
*Bees nice to beasn.*
Dang. I missed naked Sohos again.
the FUCK is the screaming bout??!!?!?!?!
Did I tell you all that beasnette’s boyfriend brought her 2 pounds of chocolate and a web cam? Makes Mr. Beasn nervous.
I can’t decide if I should tell her she better not pull her shirt up over her head or not. If i tell her, it may give her the idea, if I don’t she may get the idea.
*thinks about what I would have done at that age*

He drove 4 hours.
beasn, you should zip it and let it be.
Beasn, sit besides her while she has the webcam on, and threaten to do exactly what she does. That will scare her straight.
Btw, better to have the talk even if it is awkward. The person on the other end of the video chat can record and upload to social sites.
Besides beasn, you raised her right so you gotta let her fly now and trust her.
clint, that is exactly what I was going to say.
Tushar, that is an EXCELLENT idea. I have always followed through on my threats.
Trust but verify.
Seriously, Tushar’s idea made me LOL in my shorts.
There was a case in India a few years back. Phones with cams was a new thing. A teenager persuaded his girlfriend to give him some action while he recorded it. And then the bastard sent it as an MMS to a few friends. Within a day, every tech savvy person in India had seen the clip. The humiliated girl had to leave the country and move in with relatives in Europe. We all have to beat the stpid out of our kids.
Just got back from the hot tub. If I’d known sooner just how many cute college age girls like to lounge by the pool/tub and sunbathe in their bikinis, I’d probably have started going sooner.
She did say she told him not to bring her ‘the gifts’. I’m sure it will come up when I ask about the thing…then mention how such ‘things’ never go away. She doesn’t care much for facebook as she doesn’t like people in her business, so I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be that stupid.

LauraW – A very Happy Birthday to you. May the coming year bring you smiles, laughter, warmth and joy.
Chief, are you still on e cigarettes? I got those 3 months back. Haven’t touched the real ones since, and as the new ones are not as enjoyable, havent been smoking them as much as I used to smoke real ones. Win win.
xbrad, did you wear your speedos? Hawt young chicks love that in older men.
Hi beasn. If you’ll take notice of the comment at 7:54 by xbrad, you’ll have your answer to the webcam dilemma.
I almost smoked a cigarette last night cuz I was kind of shitfaced. Really glad I didn’t.
I was supposed to wear a swimsuit?
ABC7 in LA is gonna do a bit on SWATing soon.

We didn’t get a pool party report, MJ.
But then perhaps you don’t remember much,
Wait a minute! Xbrad, you had your wrinkly old kibbles and bits out in the open to scare teenaged girls?
I haven’t had one since January.
With all the money I saved I have been able to buy gasoline.
Did anybody condition anybody else to have a response to a particular stimulus today?
Scott, sniffing gasoline is not a good habit either.
Not me, Sean. Just a lazy Sunday for me.

We didn’t get a pool party report, MJ.
—————————–
It was really fun. Everyone made it, and the rain held off all day, which was great because it had been raining for 4 days straight. Looks like we’re going to form a swim group on Saturday, run on Thursday, and brick workouts Sunday.
It was really nice to just make burgers and wings on the grill rather than a fancy, time consuming, expensive dinner. Rhonda made potato salad and an avocado salad.
Kind of sad that two of the girls are going through tough break ups. One was engaged, the other lived with her girlfriend, but it just wasn’t working out. Would have been perfect if they both liked to dine at the Y, but that isn’t the case.
One thing I learned the hard way: I have almost no tolerance anymore.
I also taught Al Sharpton to hear the N-word whenever someone blows a dog whistle.
Scott, sniffing gasoline is not a good habit either.

We need a new home computer but Obama doesn’t think we should have nice things.
Scott, if you don’t need any special software that runs only on windows, go for a mac. I have been defending windows longer then I should have, but for home users, windows should be used for letting the breeze and light in, and nothing else. Mac is better even if you are paying more. It will last longer.
It kicks ass, Tushar.

If C arin is still around (or even if she’s not), this is a good column:
http://www.nationalreview.com/exchequer/302257/detroit-moral-story
Where has Teresa been? Is she okay?
Andy, I have two thermostats, the heating control is on the lower floor and the cooling control is on upper floor. I dont know how the internal wiring runs, so I don’t know if I can combine them into one. I am loathe to buy two Nests to replace the two regular ones.
Scott, a $1200 iMac, a $1000 macbook air, or a$600 mac mini. Choose any one. You won’t regret it.
Full disclosure: i dont have any apple shares, and kicking myself for it.
Tushar, the issue with combining them would be that you wouldn’t have separation on where you’re measuring the temperature, so you’ll lose some of the benefits with a one-size-fits-all solution that you’re getting with the 2 thermostats.
I have 2 Nests (up/down) and they’re programmed differently. Mainly because when the kids are in school, no one is upstairs most of the day.
That’s crazy talk Tushar, unless I find one that “fell off a truck”.
My laptop was under $200 (store demo on clearance).

That was hilarious. They said that the owner was holding the suspect when his wife and another guy came in to help “subdue the suspect.” They didn’t say that the owner was holding the kid upside down and that “subduing the suspect” meant kicking the suspect in the face.
I feel sorry for that shopkeeper lady. Her foot must have hurt after the message the robber’s face sent to it.
I’VE FALLEN AND I CAN’T GET UP!
Wiser, rub some dirt on it and walk it off, you big baby.

There’s a pill for that.
At least, that’s what all the spam in my email tells me.

I think I am going to buy some bath salts. If the zombie apocalypse is upon us, I would rather be the diner than food.
Trust me, you NEVER want to go to a “pool party” with MJ:

I think that is the Secret Service uniform when guarding a GSA convention in Vegas.
Anybody have arthritic hands? What does it feel like?
Really sore deep ache in the joints, usually accompanied with swelling. Hurts to grip hard.
Bear spray is awesome. I have used it
Bear spray killed it?
It is not supposed to be lethal.

I’ve had arthritis in my right hand for over thirty years?
I knew a total asshole, multiple convicted felon, who had a pot-grow. All his ‘friends’ he met inside. One night, his dogs were barking and he grabbed his “Bear Spray” and went out to investigate.
Upon exiting the door, he met the hook-end of a crow-bar across the face. He died. “Unsolved”. He very much had it coming…
Sometimes karma rules.
NYTOL.
Laura, hope your birthday was nice.
Strangely Chris My story also involves a tire iron to my head. Not exactly a crow-bar
Did Chrispy just confess?
It’s quiet in here.
Too quiet.
Yes it is X.
I am out, have a quiet night.
quiet nights should be outlawed.. someone write a law.

Too quiet.
It’s always that way just before the asteroid hits the Yucatan.
So…… SMOD’12?
Speaking of that, you know Barack the Magnificent is headed to Cabo San Lucas next week?
It’s the G-20 conference and the airlift is a massive PITA right now.
SMOD in the Yucatan? Hmmm….
Phat, if there’s any spare C-32s untasked, have one swing by KSNA to pick me up and take me to Hawaii.

Xbrad,
Least you can do is fly on my civilian employer, UAL. They need to stay in business so I have a job to go back to.
Riddle me this. If the role of government should be expanded, as the left so often claims, because good government improves our lives, why can’t that same government be trusted to treat its workers fairly without union representation?
wakey wakey.
xbrad – i’m always wondering why the GOVERNMENT needs a union to watch how it treats it’s employees.
Wasn’t she maybe driving someone somewhere? Teresa?
Carin, I planted those horseradish roots (which were already starting to sprout!) in a deep raised bed of 1/2 clay loam and 1/2 compost. Laid them on their sides, sprouts up, with about two inches of soil above them. Was that correct? Or should I have planted them vertically?
No, you did right.
*pats head.
I moved mine, and it was obviously the “wrong” time – the leaves were about two feet tall, and the leaves all died. I figured it would be ok in the long run, but that this year would have no growth.
WRONG. I’ve already got leaves 6 inches tall. New growth. New leaves.
I know! Very vigorous plant. I held the roots over in a flat of moist compost this past week, and new green leaves were shooting out of the biggest piece in three days.
Coffee is started, MMM will be about 10-15 min.
Seymour. it’s like little shop of horrors.
You cannot kill it.

Good. I’m trying to do my runs in the morning. For the summer. That way I can do a second work out in the afternoon.
Yeah, I had a feeling. That’s why I gave it an island bed.
I take it you don’t give it any fertilizer? I’m making some fertilizer mix for my other plants either tonight or tomorrow.
We have a little snake living by our back step. It darts off noisily and scares the shit out of us half the time we walk up on it.
We finally named it yesterday. “Jesus.”
SMOD in the Yucatan?
It’s old.

I didn’t fertilize, but it was planted in compost, pretty much.
Finished!
