hahahaha…..stupid guests gave their “gift” to Obama instead of the awesome gravy boat.
She looks nice.
Heh. Fork you.
Huh, I don’t have a wedding picture like that. Where did I go wrong?
“Rob” is on my facebook page saying I both took Obama’s comments out of context, while at the same time agreeing with Obama’s statement regarding this – “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. ” and that Blaze story Oso or someone linked last night.
mare, I’m sure you have a wedding photo like that…..it’s in the honeymoon album.
*rushes over to faceass*
The second cup of coffee was goooooood.
AHHH, the honeymoon!
How come these dip shits can’t figure out that successful businesses pay taxes (and often on their own or in cooperation with a town) that build the roads that dumb ass Elizabeth Warren drives on to her job where we pay her salary. Does she think the government has it’s own money?
And it’s pretty obvious, government is a hindrance to commerce more than an asset. REGULATION
As you scroll down the twitter comment is excellent:
http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/07/the-big-6-000/
Does she think the government has its own money?
They ALL think that – they honestly believe that they have EARNED that money, and they give NO thought to where it comes from.
All they know is that they don’t have enough, and we OWE them more money.
Silly peasant – you should be grateful that they allow you to keep as much as they do.
wow I slept in until JUST NOW. That never happens
You’re a shrinking girl, Sohos, you need the sleep!
Michael?

I’m going to invite Rob to Lapeerpalooza.
Well I am officially a size 6 Mare
All you Hostages should run over to Carin’s Faceplant page. Rob is very entertaining, and I’m sure he would enjoy your added insights.
Way to go, Sohotee!!!
WOOO HOOOO, Sohos!!
What? What’s that? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of my delicious BACON AND EGGS BREAKFAST WITH WHOLE WHEAT TOAST AND RICH COLUMBIAN COFFEE.
Well I am officially a size 6 Mare
You can pick up those pants next weekend.
There are a lot of people that don’t understand how the economy works. They literally believe that money is printed, then handed out to various groups by the government.
That just grosses me out CB. As an ex small business owner that really chaps my ass
I don’t have facecock, what is Robb saying???
Rob’s gonna tell us to turn off Foxnews soon.
mare, you’re missing out. It’s highly entertaining.
“mare, you’re missing out. It’s highly entertaining.”
How does that help Michell’s children?
I dont Facebob either.
Rob’s probably googling furiously trying to answer even ONE of our questions. If he comes up with something, wanna bet it’s a Krugman article?
I like Beasn’s assface name for it.
Why is Robb your friend on Facecockdouche?
OH, a more libertarian friend thought we’d enjoy the back and forth.
Hey, would someone here cut my bangs? When I do it, it’s a fiasco and I need someone to blame (much like Obama).
I had my daughter trim my hair last night. I’ll probably go in this week and home it cleaned up , but it was driving me crazy and I needed something done RIGHT then.
I enjoyed facebook until I realized that I generally don’t like people.
* shakes fist at sky *
GET OFF OF MY COMPUTER!!!!!!
Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
–President Obama
Ahem. Fuck you.
–MJ
“….but it was driving me crazy and I needed something done RIGHT then.”
See, that is the point at which things go terribly wrong for me.
“I enjoyed facebook until I realized that I generally don’t like people.”
hahahahaha….GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Mare, at one point my daughter said “Ut oh” but it’s on the back of my head and I can’t see it, so who cares, right?
My sentiments exactly MJ
I need coffee
There are many parts of that speech that deserves MJ’s respons.
Michelle is a size six.
Yeah, I’m not overly crazy about my hair…as far as that goes, what I can’t see won’t hurt me.
Obama is clueless…also, from his point of few (that of an affirmative action, in over his head, clown) people can’t do things on their own….he never has.
The last straw was during stimulus when one of my college friends said “well at least we aren’t in two wars.”
I went nuclear. I deleted my account after telling everyone what I really thought of them.
It’s bound to happen here too.

I don’t either. That is why I only have maybe fiddy friends.
Hahaha Scott. I retreat here when I get too depressed by the stupidity of my RL family/friends on Facechimp.
Mare, at one point my daughter said “Ut oh” but it’s on the back of my head and I can’t see it, so who cares, right?
Not only that, you are teaching your daughter how to take care of her mother and haircutting skills.
I think we might have been separated at birth.
“It’s bound to happen here too.”
HA! Familiarity breeds contempt.
It’s bound to happen here too.

Ha ha ha ..

Honeslty, though, if you, my sister, and I were in a room and a stranger had to pick out who were related, they wouldn’t guess correctly.
Have any of you wanted to tell someone here to “SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS?” I mean besides saying that to me, people want to say that to me all the time.
I deleted my account after telling everyone what I really thought of them.
Excellent. So the ‘two war’ thing was worse than keeping us in both and adding another…along with drone fire in another one or two?
It’s bound to happen here too.

Have any of you wanted to tell someone here to “SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS?”
Yes. But they would probably take it as something flirtatious and start stalking me.

For someone who doesn’t believe in individualism, Obama sure does think highly of himself.
>> Mare, at one point my daughter said “Ut oh” but it’s on the back of my head and I can’t see it, so who cares, right?
If only that dust and those pesky cobwebs were where you couldn’t see them.
If only.
Dust and cobwebs benefit one’s immune system.
Doesn’t work that way with my mom. Once a year I have to go over and move her refrigerator away from the wall because “she just knows there is dirt back there”.
Mr. Beasn just said I was full of piss and vinegar. Hunh.
*continues plotting*
Thanks for reminding me, scott. I can’t remember the last time we did that.
I would love to follow those “implementation grants” to see where they really go:

I’mma steal that.
If you’ve been funneh on the internet, you didn’t get there yourself.
Beasn I noticed last night you said beasnette and BF. I missed that new thing. How is he? Do we like him? Is she happy?
Good morrow, villeins.
Poat has been dated the hell up.
Rats, my internet connection is weak and my comment went poof.
sohos, I guess he’s okay, I guess we like him, she seems happy.
He doesn’t eat vegetables, so I had to laugh when he ate them disguised in what I cooked, and he survived. And he will be here until Tuesday when beasnette is scheduled to work next.
Oh, and he takes morning showers. We take night showers so we have better smelling beds. If they wind up married, she will have to break his habit.
Better a guy that doesn’t like veggies than a guy who ONLY eats veggies.
Leon will be interested to know that his mom is into body sculpting. She isn’t into body building but ‘body figuring’ or some such. And she eats vegetables.
True that, xbrad. We grilled some steak the other night and he did eat a potato because ‘those go together’. He doesn’t like corn, but will eat corn tortillas.
He likes cookies and puppy chow. He doesn’t like pie. That would worry me but Mr. Beasn doesn’t care so much about pie either. Pie is something the beasnette and I enjoy immensely.
Puppy chow? Dude might be a werewolf.
AYALAP! AYALAP!

We don’t really know how that sound is spelled, in case you were wondering.

Chrispy, were you in the military? If so, what, when, who, where and why? And just go ahead and forgive me now for not knowing that based on the stuff you say.
Since my laptop hard drive shit the bed on Thursday I decided to try Cyn’s advice and check out the deals at Newegg. Got a refurb Dell that’s better than the one I had for about $340.
Thanks Cyn!

Did MJ missspail the titlee of tihs poat on porpoise?
Funny, Lauraw, I just noticed that myself….since it’s here, I think it’s on purpose.
Mare,
Once upon a time (1967), I found a bunch of guys that all dressed alike and followed them around. I was a cannon-cocker, as I didn’t have the vision to fly helicopters.
As a civilian, I bought and flew a helicopter, and worked on them at Ft. Lewis as a DOD contractor for a couple of years.
Xbad tells me that they wouldn’t let me in the military now, as I’m an Aspi, about one step removed from “Rain Man”, but I AM a very good driver…
TGSG,
I’ve heard nothing on the scanner. I’ll check the local “NEWS” feeds.
Chrispy, were you in the military?
http://i.imgur.com/aGMUu.jpg
Porpoise.
Thanks, Chrispy. You seem very knowledgable about such things.
Where I grew up in Puget Sound, our large picture windows in the kitchen/family room, gave us a perfect view of the landing pattern for Ft. LEwis/McCord. We all loved it. We could also see the international ships come into Puget Sound which was kind of fun too.
Puget.
Mare,
I’m out SE of a place they call Graham. We get all the McChord/Ft. Lewis traffic from the east, which is most of it, as the ocean is to the west.
I’ve followed aviation since I was 10. I have a pilot and an A&P license, have flown turbine and re-cip aircraft, and have deliberately jumped out of aircraft with both round and square parachutes. I know about things that fly. Used to be a vocation. Now a hobby.
I’m old and busted-up, so don’t fly or wrench anymore, but I remember…
Were you somewhere east of I5, that you could see the sound and the traffic at JBLM?
Pooooooo-jay

We gots nice thunder boomers and steady rain, it’s about 75 and just wonderful out tonight.
And also I finally get it that there seems to be a direct correlation between sticking to my PT regimen and feeling better. Go figure, they have helped thousands heal from knee replacements and I’ve only helped one halfway.
Dave!
Glad you’re feeling better!
When do you get the staples out?
The PT folks that helped with Anitas knee-replacements were amazing! VERY helpful, smart, nice, and HOT!
They were really good. I was glad she had the same folks for the second, as for the first.
Staples out 2 weeks after surgery, July 23.

I typed ‘knee replacements’, got caught-up in it. She had two hip-replacements. That would be different.
S’right. We’ll totally put it on her. I think she should give us a free year of tech support.
Fortunately for me, I use McAfee’s cloud backup service, so I won’t lose anything. It’s all crap anyway, but it’s my crap.

Crispy, I lived in a place called Five Views (Puget Sound, Cascades, Olympics, Rainer, Narrows). It’s “North Tacoma.” On a hill near Point Defiance Park (where I worked a few summers).
Why do our bodies give out when there is so much we still want to do? God has a plan but I’d rather people do it without such pain. My Mother has back pain, and it’s holding up her completely enjoying the tail end of her good life. Hey, no guarantees, right?
I like the look on that dog’s face. Animals make me laugh. My cat makes me laugh out loud every single day. Bubble wrap as his interest one day, stalking me around a corner the next….
Such a weird summer in Texas, a hot, dry June and a moderate, June-like mid July. It’s even raining in Midland. On July 15.
Normally a high pressure dome parks its ass right on top of the Balcones Fault northwest of Austin, around July 4, and it doesn’t budge for a drop or rain unless a hurricane pushes a storm through it, until September or so.
Not complaining, especially after last year.
Hey! $20!
Dave, I was thinking the same thing. Since I’m a newbie to Texas, I was thinking this was a mild summer but, really, had no idea. The high here was 94…..not bad considering and the evenings have been really nice.
Did anybody run anybody else through with a rapier today?
Yes.
For a guy who seems to be anti business (don’t make me list the several thousand statements he’s made and several hundred policies he’s implemented to prove that) he sure sells a lot of crap from the position of the Presidency:

I think our weather guy called that a “Mexican cap” or something.
I grew to HATE hearing that damn term…..
Mare, it is (up till now) a fairly mild summer, though I don’t wanna kid ya, these things are still tough. Damn shame you had to show up for one of the most brutal summers here in 30 years, and then get confused by this one too. It ain’t normal but I’m enjoying it.
Normal (north and central TX): Warm and muggy in May, into June.. several inches of rain, low to mid 90s. Then July turns up the heat, it dries out some, high 90s. August is pretty much dry and hot, high 90s and some 100s, but very low humidity and almost no rain. It breaks in mid-Sept with some rain, and back to mid and high 90s. That can hang on till Oct. October is usually unpredictable, it’ll start cooler into the 80s, then mid Oct there’s a jump in the heat and dry for a couple weeks. Then summer is done.
We really don’t have a long growing season here every year, we have two short ones.. late March to mid June, and early Sept to late Oct. In the middle it’s just keeping plants and yards alive.
We find $20 in both though. So we got that goin for us. Which is nice.
The Texas mother f*ckin bootleg high pressure dome parked over the midwest this summer.
Day 480 of no rain.
Let me tell you honey, I’m bad to the bone. . .
Yeah, that’s an apt description beasn, it’s exactly like that. I think it did in fact move north, and blister the midwest. You can usually see it in jet stream maps, beeg circles of high pressure heat surrounded by lows that can’t make it in
We got rain here today (PTL!). Luckily, we had just finished our round 10 minutes before it started.
We had an unseasonably warm June but our traditional monsoons have been cooling off our afternoons since July 3rd. Swamp coolers of course aren’t working but I have fans and portable AC in the bedroom. NM is a truly beautiful place to live. Chile season has already started.
The far side of the moon looks more hospitable than southeastern New Mexico. Except for the oil wells.
It’s been a really nice summer so far. Lots of rain, and not too hot.
MJ – STFU!
DD#1 was telling all of her coworkers before they got here for their business trip about how hot it can get here, but how it is tempered by the fact that it is a “dry heat”.
They all get here, and it’s not only hot, it’s almost Houston-level humid.
Poor little Northeasterners were not amused…..
We’re getting a nice refreshing rinse here tonight too. It has been a while.
Heh.
http://tinyurl.com/7ne9w75
But I ain’t complaining about the rain – it’s been a nice change from our usual July weather.
DiT, southeastern NM is what I like to call “Far west Texas”. Santa Fe and North is truly God’s country. I used to like Ruidoso until I discovered Taos and Chama.
Pretty psyched about not having to water the garden tomorrow.
We’re starting to get lots of tomatoes now, and they taste delicious like a muthafucka.
Home grown tomatoes are the shizz.
My cousin, Celena, gave us zucchini from her garden. Dan grilled some tonight. It was yummy.
Ima make me a mater sammich tomorrow when I come home for lunch!
Dan has been making homemade salsa and Guac with fresh maters and jalapeños.
I was just driving around in the rain, with the kids in tow. Reminded me of time when I was a little kid, the the explanation for lightning was of course that God was taking a photograph of me. Had to be on my best behavior when it was raining.
“If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is ‘God is crying’. And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is ‘Probably because of something you did.”

That’s diabolical, Tushar! I’ve never heard that one before.
A bunch of stuff in my garden (beans and squashes) are getting ready to bear next weekend. Of course.
I predict super harvesting late Sunday nite
Rainy season starts on jun 7 in India, and not a drop yet. This year is going to be tough for farmers and urban dwellers alike.
I love Jack Handey. I always wanted kids so I could pull the Disneyland burned down Deep Thoughts.
That’s one of the best. The other one is the one about the jack o lantern..
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey
Sometimes when I feel like killing someone,
I do a little trick to calm myself down.
I’ll go over to the person’s house and ring the doorbell.
When the person comes to the door, I’m gone,
but you know what I’ve left on the porch?
A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side
of its head with a note that says “You.”
After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
I believe there was a book that was a collection of Deep
Thoughts by Jack Handey. Pretty sure I purchased the Baseball Atlas instead. Most of the stadiums in my baseball atlas are gone now.
Dave: We’re starting to get lots of tomatoes now, and they taste delicious like a muthafucka.
Laura: Home grown tomatoes are the shizz.
Laura is an idiot. Dave is talking about tomatoes from Mexico.

Rainy season starts June first here. Also known as Hurricane season.
I mean, in north Texas, we don’t grow tomatoes because we don’t have any fuckin’ topsoil. We just got clay and stone.
I did learn recently, as a result of shopping for my own groceries, that Texas produces blueberries. I don’t know where in Texas, but I previously thought that all blueberries come from Maine. Blueberries work great with Honey Nut Cheerios.
trouble brewing.
the self-inflicted variety.
*pulls my chair up closer, puts the ice-pack on the knee, and listens for Barber’s Adagio for Strings.*

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
My sister has a couple potted tomato plants that are quite productive, if not especially large tomatoes. I went out and harvested a few the last time I was there, and set them on the kitchen counter. I also set there a few of the gorgeous, large, vine-ripened tomatoes I’d gotten from the local Sprouts supermarket.
Sis was a bit crushed to learn the gorgeous tomatoes from her plants were really from the market.
Michael, don’t provoke Laura, unless you want to experience picking your teeth from the floor using broken fingers.
Charles Darwin wants you to eat meat:

(Not that tomatoes aren’t good, too…..)
Don’t listen to him Michael.
Use The Force.
Are we gonna get to see a spinning scissor kick?
My sister and her husband came down to visit me a few weeks ago. I think they were just checking to make sure I was not suicidal.
I gave them Honey Nut Cheerios with Texas blueberries for breakfast. They were impressed.
Michael, don’t provoke Laura, unless you want to experience picking your teeth from the floor using broken fingers.
That’s actually good advice. I don’t need broken fingers right now.
A friend of mine, with a greenhouse, brought me the “runt of the litter’ from his tomato starts. We’ve got it in a pot with peat-moss, potting soil, and steer manure.
The fucking thing is 4′ tall!
With our short and intermittent growing season here (quite often, a very wet, cold May-June, it’s rare that any-one can get tomatos to ripen here. Some get away with “Early Girl”, started indoors under a grow-light. Otherwise, if you don’t have a greenhouse, it’s not a happening deal.
What’s really sad is to watch folks try to grow melons here.
Squash, pumpkins, cukes, broc, cauliflower, sure. Melons or tomato, not so much…
One wonders how many “Anger Management Puppets” are still in original condition in their cellophane…
Don’t go there, Batman. Just don’t.
*smoochies Pups*
Longmire?
Time to rest reg. Nite y’all.
G’night, Dave.
Who brought the bourbon?
I’ve got bourbon. Evan Williams cause I’m cheap that way.
That’s quite the step up from my usual generic store brand rot gut.
Anita is in OR tonight for a wedding. She got a couple gallons of whiskey there for $30 less than here, and a carton of smokes for $30 less. Too bad it’s 150 miles away…
It took me a minute to realize that you meant “Oregon” and not “Operating Room”, ChrisP.
I think that’s a sign that it’s time for TiFW to go to bed…..
I don’t know what booze costs in WA, but I was STUNNED the last time I bought smokes in WA. They were about $10 a pack.
We can buy booze at grocery stores. I’m always shocked when I travel about local liquor laws.
Longmire was a dandy tonight, XB. You’ll enjoy it.
We can buy booze in the grocery stores here as well. And the local Ralph’s sells a .75L of reallllly cheap vodka for $4.99. Woohoo!
I am craving a cold beer and a BLT……….. SToopid diets
Sohos! Did you see the picture of 4 year old me on my Faceplant page tonight? It was funny.
Dan bought Walmart vodka for our most recent bloody’s. Premiere is the Walmart equivalent of Valurite. They have wine to compete with 3 buck chuck too.
I remember when Chuck was only two bucks!
Xbrad,
Marlboro here are $8 and change, as are Camel and Winston. When WA went out of the likker bidness they instituted a “FEE” of $7/liter and 20.9% sales tax. The cost of EVERY bottle of anything went way up.
It’s a “fee” and not a TAX, to make-up for “lost revenue”.
Well, as they no longer provide a ‘service’ why should they get any kind of a revenue?
Don’t matter in WA. They WANT the money, so we should just give it to them.
Bastards…
Well, next time I head to WA, I’ll just have to drag Ma to the Class VI.
We had heard about 2 buck chuck and then we finally got a Trader Joe’s here and it was 3$. I have a hard time being around hippies so REI and Trader Joe’s are two places I avoid.
NYTOL.
Hugs and smiles on you all, mostly on DG, but you all get the left-overs. She is such a tiny cutie!
TJ’s isn’t terribly hippieish here. And their milk and egg prices are best in the valley, so we stop in from time to time. Still, as a rule of thumb, Ralph’s is my favorite.
NYTOL.
No, I will go check it out now
Kindle Fire!!!
We’re caught in a derp
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby.
nah sean, his page is private
Trashed it, TG. His wall was full of requests for people to link to his profile and a picture of some fugly porn star.
wakey wakey
It’s the perfect gift!
Car in is going to love this!

that’s why I live in Michigan. NO SNAKES. At least no scary ones.
My husband made me watch a bit of that show “Political Animals.” ga. I honestly don’t even know where to start.
I find it infinitely ironic that the show was so cynical about politics, despite the fact that Hollywood/the media has a TON to do with exactly what’s wrong with it.
THe main character is “Hillary” – except she divorces Bill after she loses the Dem nomination for president.
It’s honestly too much.
ANother busy day for Obama. He went golfing yesterday:
somebody go wake up leon
I was just thinking that J’ames.
Perhaps the tuckers are proving to be elusive this morning?
I’m awake. I blame the avatar switch for throwing off my internal clock.
I missed that show Car in I had low expectations because I figured it would be a tongue bath love fest for hillary but wanted to see Sigorney
I wish I’d missed it. We came inside after fishing on the dock until it got dark (plug for Lapeerpalooza right here) – and we just channel surfed and fond it.
Yuck. I went to bed.
(and read your book) Almost caught up. ALMOST. Cleaning and painting has made me kinda sleepy by bedtime. I’ve been falling asleep holding the kindle.
guh moma.
Heh
I just sent you a updated copy but requested specific input on just 2 pages.
It’s here, it’s here! It’s like a Monday miracle!
