Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day, sponsored by earworm songs.
Mini-me and I visited my dad and stepmom earlier this month. Dad needed a gentle reminder that not all programming is suitable for 11-year-olds (he was watching “There’s Something About Mary”), so he ended up leaving the TV on Encore Western most of the weekend. Amongst the offerings was “The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw”, starring a sometimes shirtless Rick Rossovich.
Different movie, hush. I couldn’t find any screengrabs of the movie I saw, or I would have put one up for sure.
Is it just me, or does he look like Hotspur here?
I like cowboys.
In black and white and in color.
I like a man who believes in his 2nd Amendment rights.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Yummy hunky time morning. Good stuff, Roamy.
**takes a bow**
I looked into how much the Encore Western channel would cost me here – $12.95 a month. Don’t think that’s going to happen.
I look forward to your post Vman. I’m curious because he’s our Senator.
I am reading his Rush transcript MJ. So far I am ok with it, but of the top ten things on the list that need to be done in Washington DC this is number 35
Nice earworm, Roamy.
Morning all
So MJ’s in Inxs now. Huh. Cool!
*sides big ol’ cuppa joe to Dave*
So MJ’s in Inxs now.
I thought that, too. MJ’s cuter, though, and less likely to end up in rehab.
Thanks ladies, but on my best day I don’t look like that. I bet that guy has to walk around with a panty deflector just to go out to dinner.
I do like the wings on the arms. That’s kind of cool. And the song isn’t bad either, although I’m sure teenage girls everywhere are wondering what this new fantastic band is all about.
Thanks hot stuff!
Panty Deflector
HaHa!
That’s the dude that won that rock star show, right? They went with the pretty face instead of the better singer. He’s got an ok voice,but not much of a range.
I’ll take either one of the last two up there, thankyouverymuch.
Gun guy first, then the fisherman, but I won’t quibble.
Lately, Mr Car In has taken the “we’ll need to bug out eventually” attitude about the US. Always on his mind are the Jews who waited too long before they left Germany.
And then last weekend he watched “Sound of Music” and it got him going again.
sigh.
This revolution better happen soon. He’s losing faith.
Carin, where would you go? Canada? Belize?
I have a friend who’s husband is probably even more … – despondent? I don’t know if that’s the word. He’s almost one of those end timers types.
Well, that’s what he’s always trying to figure out. It doesn’t really seem like the greatest plan to me.
I wonder if our “leaders” understand just how… worried people have become. They’ve written off hope of righting this ship.
‘morning children. grumble, cold, grumble.
Leave the dogs, take the chickens.
I wonder if our “leaders” understand just how… worried people have become.
The 47% who get their free shit aren’t worried about a damn thing.
I know they don’t care. But I wonder if Boehner understand. If Rubio understand. If … etc …
Maybe we should find some lost valley out in the wilderness to live in. Bring more stuff than the Russian guy did though.
Yea, that’s more an idea I’d be interested in.
We’ll bring the dogs and the chickens.
Canada or Alaska are easier to get to than Siberia but if you bring guns I am thinking Alaska might be better.
Unless you want to chase elk until they collapse to get your runners high on.
I’m not running after elk.
I’ve got to shower. WOrk . lunch shift.
Scott has it right. We’ve got to get the boomers smoking again.
It’s our only hope.
MJ, thanks for the words of support. It will go a long way, on this day of splitting apps between servers.
zzzzzzzzzz
I quit smoking, and I’m not starting again. Although I’m not a boomer, am I?
Probably not, Jay; the cut off is 1964.
Damn, I am a boomer then. Right on the cutoff.
*drop-ships Jay some LSMFTs*
TYIA
We don’t need to start smoking. We have Obamacare kicking in.
The way I see it, in 10 years I can start collecting Social Security; in 13 years I am required to go on Medicare.
By that time, all of those idiot 18-22 year olds who thought that Obama was the coolest guy ever are going to be hitting 35-40 – their prime earning years.
And all of their money – in addition to paying back every damn penny that is owed me – is going to be going to Uncle Sugar to pay for all of the neat stuff that Obama promised to the “poor”.
They aren’t going to be able to save for their kids’ college funds, and when their kids are finally old enough to start college, the only people who are going to be able to afford to attend college are the mediocre and minorities…..
….thanks to Obamacare.
And you’d better believe that I am going to take great delight in rubbing their noses in it: “Did you vote for Obama? Then STFU and keep working.”
You’ll never see a dime. Not one freaking dime.
Awesome morning so far! Water main break in the Village. Whole town is out of water.
Will have to shower at the base gym before my shift this afternoon.
#firstworldproblems.
I’d like to opt out of social security and medicare. I can take care of myself, TYVM.
The 80K or so I’ve paid into the program to date would be worth 148K today.
I really like making forced, bad investments. It’s awesome. Makes everyday feel like a warm hug from a long lost friend.
Quick, what’s a ray of sunshine times zero?
I really like making forced, bad investments.
You’d just piss it away on stuff that is bad for you anyway, so you’re actually better off doing it their way.
Hotspur is right. If it weren’t for them I might be able to afford a cocaine habit.
or smoking..or eating in restaurants once in a while…taking vacations…
It’s for your own good.
You’ll never see a dime. Not one freaking dime.
If there is one thing that every cocksucking thief in Congress knows, it is that they can NEVER admit that Social Security and Medicare are Ponzi schemes.
If they do, they know that they will be rousted out of their cushy offices, dragged through the streets, and hung from the highest lamppost by the Free ShitTM mob.
I’ll see my money.
And I’m taking it out as soon as I am legally able to and investing it however I see fit.
Now that would be something. Rather than get a few bucks a month, I’d take a one time, cocaine payout.
I’d take my one-time in meth and bullets.
And pool boys.
I’d like to opt out of social security and medicare.
*pats MJ on head*
Silly boy – you can’t opt out of a tax…..
(And you are REQUIRED to go on medicare when you turn 65 – if you choose not to, you forfeit all of your Social Security bennies)
And margaritas. And a coupla them cowboys up there.
That’d be all I need.
Maybe this lamp.
And all of their money – in addition to paying back every damn penny that is owed me – is going to be going to Uncle Sugar to pay for all of the neat stuff that Obama promised to the “poor”.
Nice fantasy you got there………it’d be a goddamned shame if anything were to happen to it.
Nothing is “owed” to you. Courts have already ruled that the government can stiff you on SS payments.
This thermos
Congrats Scott and Lauraw on your smoke free anniversary.
Oh, you’ll get your social security, but a cup of coffee will be $432.
Uh…hehheh…uh….heh…….xbrad said……stiff.
Thanks Oso. We saved about $9000 and we are still broke.
Hope and change.
Silly boy – you can’t opt out of a tax…..

The Retirement Choice Act.
It will reduce the deficit, will provide a comfortable retirement for all Americans, and it will be fair–leveling the playing field against the fat cat Wall St. investment firms.
At the minimum it would make D-rats admit that there is no money in the program and that it is entirely dependent on current payments.
People largely believe that their money is sitting in the bank somewhere, waiting for them to retire.
Also, everyone looks very lovely today.
I smoked a cigarette a few months ago at a party and Mrs MJ made me sleep in the guest room that night.
For some reason I found that to be hilarious.
That’s how it starts, MJ.
I need this paddleball….
*yanks ball off*
Whut?
I don’t wanna hurt my hand when I spank that handsome fella in the 10-gallon hat 😛
So basically what you are all telling me, is that I should quit my job and try to do what I really want to do with my life, because when the dollar collapses, whatever we have saved, our whole effing lives, will be worth nada.
Yeah, but I prefer to sleep alone.
Pretty soon, you’ll be in the guest room for any number of trivial reasons.
My sister was telling me how her husband is finally talking about bugging out. I’ve invited her to come with us, to farm the few acres we own.
*can’t wait until the coal industry goes belly up and we’re paying 5K a month to heat our house*
Do whatever you want Beasn, the Gubmint will take care of you.
Need a phone?
Pretty soon, you’ll be in the guest room for any number of trivial reasons.
Mr. Beasn got kicked out when his snoring started shaking the walls.
I smoked a cigarette a few months ago at a party and Mrs MJ made me sleep in the guest room that night.
When we got home the first night of the DFW meat-up (at the Sunset Grill), DD#2 – who had just gotten home for a visit from school – refused to hug us until we had both tossed our clothes in the washer and taken baths.
We were gonna do that anyway, but Mr. TiFW and I laughed…..
Do whatever you want Beasn, the Gubmint will take care of you.
The hell, you say.
Unfortunately, the one brain cell that works is telling me that people like me – mouthy and willing to tell them to f*ck off – will be the first loaded into gubmint trains. So, yeah, in a way, they will take care of me.
So basically what you are all telling me, is that I should quit my job and try to do what I really want to do with my life, because when the dollar collapses, whatever we have saved, our whole effing lives, will be worth nada
Pretty much, yeah.
Mr. TiFW’s mother says that she didn’t know from The Depression, because her family lived on their own farm way out in BFE, and they never went hungry.
Dan is getting tired of my EBT Story of the Day. I’m really getting depressed by TFGs America.
There is a hair on my shirt.
*Mj sleeps in guest room*
I need to borrow $13,500. Where is Mare?

*prepares guest room for tonight
I moved to the couch 2 nights ago because Dan was snoring. Fat, flatulent, snoring wiener dog followed me.
The first ones loaded into the gubmint trains are the useful idiots.
They are the ones who will have voluntarily given up their rights in exchange for “security”. They will be completely bewildered by the turn of events, because “This can’t be happening to someone as enlightened as me”.
Contrary curmudgeons like us will have gone off of the grid long before then – and we’re all smart enough not to be found.
Plus we’re armed to the teeth.
I moved to the couch 2 nights ago because Dan was snoring
Mr. TiFW and I both snore – but we also sleep hard enough that neither one of us can hear the other one, so it all works out 😛
He says when I get really tired, I snore. He thinks it’s cute. I want to smother him with an assault pillow. Safety first.
(By couch, I mean love seat and ottoman, but that makes me sound short)
I moved to the couch 2 nights ago because Dan was snoring. Fat, flatulent, snoring wiener dog followed me.
Calling your husband fat and flatulent is ok. In fact, probably warrented. But calling his ass a weiner dog is just plane mean. Why did he follow you anyway?
Heck, I’m short enough, I don’t even need the ottoman 😛
Forgot to get milk, thatsapaddlin.
I don’t always trust this news source, but this seems pretty legit.
A fucking US city with strict gun control laws that is more deadly than a war zone. Whodafuckinthunkit?
http://is.gd/RrYULG
Wiener dog couldn’t sleep due to the snoring, either. Proceeds to snore. I need the ottoman in order to have room for fat wiener dog.
Good day, nutty funsters.
Greatest posts in the history of posts.

Unpossible!
There is no gun violence in Chicago…..

Oh, you naive young nymphet, yes there is, and it is proof that there just hasn’t been enough funding for community organizers.
Workout, laundry, shower and lunch finished. Raining like a sumbitch here. I’m thinking of asking the gubbermint for some cheese ’cause I been gooder than you people.
By the way, comparing the death toll in Afghanistan from Operation Enduring Freedom to murders in Chicago is rank bullshit. Ignoring the fact that the situations are completely incomparable, the numbers have not even been adjusted to express them on a per capita basis. It embarasses me when conservatives use this kind of chicanery to make a point that might otherwise be valid.
Chicago is one of the most segregated cities I’ve been in. The cops could give a shit about anything South of the loop.

When the president stands up and tells us that doctors cut off limbs so they can bill insurance companies, I think we’re past the point of respectable disagreement or parsing numbers.
Try this: More black kids were killed in Chicago than Afghanistan because Rahm Emanauel is a racist.
**takes a bow**
Doesn’t that belong in Xbrad’s hair young lady???

78 minutes for me.

Agreed. President Romney and I were having a conversation just the other day about how important it is to stay above the fray when you want to convince voters that you’re on the right side of an issue.
More black kids were killed in Chicago than Afghanistan because Rahm Emanauel is a racist.
Interesting name, I looked it up. Looks like Rahm comes from the Arabic Raheem, which means “kind, compassionate.” Emanuel is presumably a variant of the Hebrew for “God with us.”
Just the kind of mayor I would vote for.
Hamilton was a cross-dresser!!

President Romney and I were having a conversation just the other day about how important it is to stay above the fray when you want to convince voters that you’re on the right side of an issue.
Romney had all the truthful ammunition he needed. I thought he was certain to win. He just was weirdly reluctant to chamber a round and pull the trigger.
If John Adams doesn’t quit being such a goddamn Kyle, I’ma fuck his shit up.
—Stuff Jefferson Said, 3rd edition (revised)
Haha, leon has it timed to the minute. Very nice!
Because he was a shitty candidate – really shitty, and his staff was even shittier. Same shitty kind of people as McCain and his band of twatwaffles.
Who are we going to run next? Scott Brown?
I doubt there will be anyone but a preferred disadvantaged group candidate for the foreseeable future.
Meghan McCain / Olympia Snowe 2016
What we need is a female, gay, black, hispanic, indian (dot not feather but if you could get feather that would be the holy grail), handicapped (?) gunshot victim.

No, we can do better than that. IB had the right idea five years ago. We could have avoided both McCain and Romney.

So basically …….whatever we have saved, our whole effing lives, will be worth nada.
===========
Yes, this. The responsible people always get screwed. The rampant inflation we’re fixing to have will absolutely kill the value of your savings. Save your money, provide for your retirement, you can forget SS once they start means testing benefits, and they WILL start means testing benefits. The rich don’t NEED it, it’s for the poor people who don’t have any savings.
Ever wonder why the gov’t. calculated inflation rate is so low? even though you can look at prices and see they’re much higher? Well, cost of living adjustments are indexed to the inflation rate. Change the way you compute inflation, and viola, SS and other government expenses don’t increase the way they should.
HA! I’m getting xBrad linked all over FaceChimp!

Hi Jewstin. I’m trying to be nice today.
So how are you? How was your date this weekend?
MJ, I’m well.
Date Guy got sozzled after two beers and had an overflowing trashbag of empty vodka bottles in his kitchen. I don’t anticipate a follow-up date.
Who are you, and what have you done with the real MJ?
Hi everyone. What did Obama do today while I was off making $2.65 an hour.

What are you doing about working out?
What’s the minimum number of chickens you should have for a healthy little flock? I don’t want them to be lonely. If I’m reading this ordinance correctly, I can have a max of 7 birds.
Also, how do you protect them? I watched a coyote walk around in my backyard again yesterday morning. And the damn raccoons have clever hands like little people.
Shit, do I need to buy another book?
You just need to pee around the outside of the coop.
Alpha predator!!!
I was actually at the gym when I typed that, MJ. Cooling down on a bike.
You don’t need a book lauraw.
THere are lights that can scare preditors. But a solid structure that they can’t break into is good.

I sort of wondered about what you were doing these days. It turns out that you were right about building muscle. It’s weird, but I kind of like it.
Carin, I read that they protect the garden from bugs, but people also feed them garden produce. I want to have them in my garden, but won’t they eat up the garden vegetables/ greens?
Laura, what do you know about anti personnel mines and booby traps? I have a book…
Booby?
During teh HHD thread?
Yes. The chickens will eat your garden. Some things. Depends how bored they are. It’s awesome to let them clean it up end of season, or graze pre- season, but when the plants are little you do NOT want them in there.
My, when I work a double, I try to work out (at home) before I go in. It has put a crimp in my schedule, but I’m getting by.
I’m thinking about getting that insanity deal/workout to make my workouts at home more interesting. My choices are running (road), nordic trak (which is only marginally effective, imho) or something new.
I’ve let them in when it’s growing season, and just watch to make sure they don’t take an interest in something. I have to keep the strawberries covered.
What about one of those gizmo’s that turn your bike into a stationary bike? I think they are only $50, and you can add all the resistance you want.
I usually just use a bike to cool down. I have a really hard time getting a good workout on a bike. Mostly because I’m not a biker.
I had a conversation with someone about this today. You CAN get a great workout on a bike, but you have to concentrate and work hard. It’s really easy to slack. Walk into just about any gym and see that in action by almost everyone who is on a stationary bike.
Damn – just found out that one of the guys Mr. TiFW (and I, way back when) was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.
Went to see his eye doctor on Friday, got sent immediately to a retinal specialist who didn’t like what he saw, the “C” word was brought up, a blood test was done, and on Monday his GP delivered the bad news. Had an appt with an oncologist yesterday.
He said that he hadn’t been able to get rid of “the flu” for about a month, and then he started having vision problems.
White blood cell count was over 400,000 –
😦
TiFW, hopefully they caught it early.
I’m sorry to hear that TiFW.
Car in. How am I supposed to call you when you’re working doubles and doing exercise bullshit in between? You’re making this very difficult and I’m starting to resent it.
Stop it.
What Roamy said. Cancer sucks.
Car in. How am I supposed to call you when you’re working doubles and doing exercise bullshit in between? You’re making this very difficult and I’m starting to resent it.
Humn. that’s problematic.
I’ll get my guys on that for you.
Wait, you have guys?
*clicks off*
Running and cycling were the same for me, running was just quicker. I preferred cycling because a 120 mile ride would take me to new places, an 8 mile run would be the same old neighborhoods.
Thanks to Roamy, Wednesday is the BEST Day of the week!!!
Wait, you have guys?
Yes. And they’ve said you can call me between 5 am and 5:05. Eastern.
I’m usually not working OR working out at that hour.
Fuck cancer.
With Obama’s dick like appendage.
Heh. I drive to new places now, then I walk a mile.
Nice to be able to do that again, but I keep forgetting where I left the truck, and those remote alarm thingys only work when you’re close, like in an airport parking lot. Sorta.
I like running better because I don’t have to concentrate so hard on moving fast enough. Biking – if I don’t pay attention – I’ll just start lolling along at some pleasant pace.
Thanks, Osita.
That’s why I don’t run. If I don’t pay attention I just start walking to a bar and ordering a beer.
LOL.
Now that my lungs work again, I am going to get back into it.
Freaky thighs by July.
Is Beasn around? I have a question for Mr. Beasn.
Do a spin class. If lead correctly, and you do the workout as the leader suggests you’ll get a grate workout. Arms too.
Great
Roamy if you posted this HHD every week, I’d be happpy with that. Refer to my earliest comment.
When I trained in high school I would race cars on Farmington Ave.
There were just enough traffic lights to give me a fighting chance for about 3 miles. Then I would turn around and do it again.
After an hour or two of that I couldn’t walk.
Thanks, Mare. The fisherman pic had the title, “I’m fairly sure the fish jumped out of the water to be near him.”
I was the only freshman on the varsity cycling team.
There were no sophomores that made it.
I was psyched, but they destroyed the program at the end of the year because a couple of people got hit by cars. Crybabies.
OK Carin. I guess I will have to make the coop/ chicken enclosure attached to the garden, with a gate between the two.
All the stupid aside, it really is nice to be able to walk again. I mean longer than a quarter mile.
*calls Carin* GODDAMMIT ANSWER ME BITCH!
Did anybody undercut anybody else’s already low, low prices today?
No. We just kept pricing the same while making the content smaller.

About a week later the second daughter walks in to the room in tears. “Mom, I was taking pee and this bullet came out.”
Again the mother tells her not to worry and explains what happened 16 years ago.
A week later the boy walks into the room in tears. “It’s okay,” says the mom, “I know what happened, you were taking a pee and a bullet came out.”
“No,” says the boy, “I was jerking off and I shot the dog.”
It was a sinus infection, chrisp. Got some antibiotics, and it’s drying up now. No fever was the clue.
Our douchebag Senator Tom Udall was investigating why gas prices were so high in a state with lots of oil wells when he was AG. I’ve heard he’s on the short list for Interior. Still waiting for results from his investigations.
I had flu like bullshit from Sunday night to Monday affernoon.
Don’t know if it was flu. If it was it was shorter than the week and a half everyone else here who didn’t get a flu shot had.
Viruses are, confusing. I wish a girl would hug me now.
Back off Jay (also, how’s the missus?)

It was Republican snakes drinking from the hoil hwells. Duh.
My sis and Mom both had the ick recently. There was a birthday in there I need to attend to. I’ll take them to brunch in a week or two, when they stop generating contagion.
There will be no debriefing this evening as I was debriefed by the orthodontist this afternoon. Twice.
Most folks around here who had flu had it for couple weeks. Me and a few others who had *something* had it for a day. We all had shots, but who the heck knows.
*sets out the hug trap*
I meant we all who had the day and a half thing.
*debriefs Cyn*
Aww, I was hoping for the hug trap combo neck massage thingy.

That orthodontist didn’t even blow me a kiss as I left. Sheesh.

You know what looks small in a showroom but huge once you buy it and put it in your living room? A 70 Inch Flatscreen TV.
The thing is freaking ginormous. Superbowl will be awesome.
The kids were more excited with the box the TV came in. They managed to climb in and made a fortress out of it.
70 inches is a lot of kisses
70 inches is a lot of curses.
My wife does not like me to spend money. I got it at a very reasonable price actually for it’s gargantuan proportions.
Tush, you should watch the Puppy Bowl instead.
I’ve had this damned thing for 5.5 weeks now.
My “Health Insurance” is $5k deductible. I wonder if the doc will give me antibiotics with a phone-call…
Oso, my prediction for Superbowl is that the winning team will have a coach whose last name ends with Ugh!
I need to watch the game for that. And for GoDaddy commercials.
Tushar,
Send my your “old” one. I’m watching a 27″ analog crt…
The Harbaugh brothers are proof you can’t trust people from Toledo.
They managed to climb in and made a fortress out of it.
Good kids.
Oooo the commercials, those are always a kick in the pants. Oldest ran and quick changed the news channel last evening because they were going to show some previews. Good boy.
Football’s not over yet?
ChrisP, my old TVs were a couple of 27-28″ CRTs. I gave them to Salivation Army.
Mrs. Jay passed the stone, and is fever free now. 1 1/2 weeks and she’ll get the stent out. Both of us on antibiotics, so I better stock up on yogurt.
*gives Cyn 70 inches of neck massagy thingys*
thanks Jay. Sheesh. The healtheses.
Some natural antibiotics to try:
http://www.naturalnews.com/035516_natural_antibiotics_superbugs.html
I’m still surprised she didn’t have much pain from the stone.
Jay, good to hear that the Mrs is recovering..
Hated the stent, though I made the nurse laugh with my Disney Princess bandaid.
and very glad to hear Mrs. Jay is doing better.
*gives Dave the ‘Whoa Nelly!’*
Cyn’s “neck massager thingy”
http://tinyurl.com/a9w5v5f
That is most EXCELLENT news on Mrs. Jay.
And thanks for the linky on the natural antibiotics. Good info.
I’ve always wondered about the natural antibiotics. I’m sick of paying money to have the doc write me a prescription I’m already pretty sure I need.
And it won’t hurt anything to try them.
Haha! Close, but mine plugs in.
I had one 20 years ago and I thought someone stabbed me in the back.
Glad to hear the missus is ok Jay
Thanks for the well wishes. She really appreciates them.
She’s still got her asthma bothering her, so she’s still kinda miserable. But not as bad now.
Yours plugs in?
I was sure it had a kickstarter.
Haha! Close, but mine plugs in.
Phew, I was worried you were gonna say kick starter.
Dammit, xbrad, stop typing fast!
It was in your wheelhouse, though.
I’ve used a Colloidal Silver nasal spray to stave off sinus infections on more than one occasion, Jay. Worked well.
>>I had one 20 years ago and I thought someone stabbed me in the back.
Dildos were pretty hard and sharp back then. Or so I have heard.
Yours plugs in?
I was sure it had a kickstarter.
Heck no, not for the neck massager thingy. The vibrator? That’s another story.
Happy for Mrs J’ames.

Depended on the model. Or so I have heard.
IIRC some politician out West made his own colloidal silver solution and permanently turned himself blue.
I remember that too, Roamy.
Most politicians tend towards turning blue in the long run. See McCain, John and Graham, Lindsay.
Stan Jones of Montana.
I just read up: the guy was taking it for arthuritis. He may have taken a pinch too much.
Reading that page Jay linked, I was reminded that any natural honey is a great antibacterial. Don’t they make a honey face scrub? I may have to try that one of these times.
I recall from high school what a colloidal suspension is. It meant three weeks in suspension though
I almost put this in HHD but figured it was too close to NSFW pron.

Bathtime!
Speaking of honey, I got a mailing from the local FAA FSDO a few years ago advising pilots of the benefits of local RAW honey!
They advised to take a teaspoon a day to kill your allergic reactions to local pollen, as you are really not supposed to fly after taking anti-histamines or other allergy drugs.
Kinda cracked me up that the FAA was touting homeopathic cures.
But then, I am easily amused…
Roamy,
That’s not NSFW, it’s just bath-time!
Don’t call me honey.
I prefer Orange Blossom Honey but when I run out of marmalade or jam it works with peanut butter
Call X Bastage
Call me anything but honey or late for dinner.
Good Job my friend.
I am out for the night
goodnight honeys
G’night from the left-coast.
Have a great evening folks, and a better day tomorrow!
Hugs from Chris & Anita…
Good morning Citizens!
What? Everyone already left? Damn.
Bought a new gun today, The Bersa 380. Nice little ccw piece.
I think I will buy a new weapon every month until this BS stops. Everyone knows it will never pass. Hell, Reid will never even let it come to a vote.
Just a lot of grandstanding by libs for libs. Bring it to a vote and OWN it!
Damn, no one’s here.
See you in the am after spin class.
Harrumph!
I only smile in the derp
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn’t accidentally tell you that
I’m only happy when it rains
Wind woke me up. I’m hearing train noises out there and fully expect to see Dorothy’s house fly by the window. Sheesh.
We sleep on the ‘big tree’ side of the house and I got skeeved out.
uh, derp
http://hint.fm/wind/
See that? Thick S-N stripe of heavy wind. Slowly working it’s way East. It is loud and howly.
Do not care for it, nosirree Bob.
Jesus. That gust is going to change the landscape. Sounds like it wants to suck the shutters off the house.
Morning.
*Staple Ws’ feet to the floor.
Nice wind map—mesmerizing to say the least.
Blowing hard on the coast here too
Bad news: we’ve already hit the high temperature for to-day.
Good news: it’s 60° right now.
wakeey wakey
We’ve got some rather stiff gusts this morning. I think it was mighter in the middle of tje ight, but it’s still blowing.
Judging by that map … this just might work …
*throws cup of coffee up into the air for Lauraw

the night
duh
Shit. Patty Andrews died. I think I’m going to go back to bed.
*hold cup out upstairs window, gets splashed in the face*
close. so close
*wipes coffee grounds off side of house and grumbles something about the usefulness of filters*
Patty Andrews died? How can you sleep at a time like this?
Windy! Power was out this morning.
I’m guessing its the apocalypse.
G’morning, cool kids.
Morning. Yesterday’s rain is today’s ice. Let’s all be careful out there.
I spent most of my day yesterday in the ER. I’m fine. I had what felt like a massive muscle cramp in my left chesticle area yesterday morning, dizzyness, nausea, shooting pains down my back and arm with pretty intense pain. The pain lasted a minute or so, then settled down to a tightness in my chest and pain in my back, both in the heart area. Scared me enough to go get checked out. EKG, blood work, Xray, stress test, all normal.
I was teh scared shitless for about 2 hours. I think shotgunning 2 cups of coffee while inhaling 2 cigarettes in the 5 minutes after waking up at 0430 is probably not optimal for easing into the morning.
**pinches Cyn on the butt, points at Jay when she turns around**
Lauraw, you might want to keep the flying monkeys inside today. Yes, I know, they smell.
Crikey, Pups! I’m glad you’re okay!
You’re supposed to shotgun the cigs and inhale the coffee.
Yikes, glad you’re okay Pups.

Report to Car in’s house for mandatory ass kicking. She’ll have you fit in six weeks.
I’m pretty glad you’re not dead.
Holy cow, Pupster, I’m glad you’re okay.
*turns around and bashes coffee mug into Jay’s head, without spilling a drop; winks at Roamy*
Yikes Pups!
I am glad you are ok.
Time to cut back on the blue meth and coke
What did the doctor say Pupster?
Lauraw- you need to order (request) a McMurray Hatchery catalog.
I got one somehow and it’s the coolest thing EVER.
Nobody could explain it, other than not a myocardial infarction, and with perfectly fine heart readings on all the machines, blood work and Xrays, normal stress test, I just got a pat on the fanny and clearance to get back in the game.
Plus I got to use infarction in a sentence a couple of times, along with angina. Totally work it.
Glad you’re okay pup
Wise not to ignore symptoms
If you’re OK, then you’re going to have to drop and give me twenty for making us worry.
The tightness in my chest and pain in the back are still there, so avenge me if you don’t hear f

I was reading and commenting on H2 while this was going on, from teh hospital’s WiFi.
I had just downloaded the 4th Longmire book, and spend the day reading that while getting tested. I haven’t seen the TV show, but I am really enjoying the books.

Ow! Why does my head hurt?
Hey pups, remember this?
Yes. When the pain went away I began to waver about going to the ER, but I kept remembering all those stories about chest pain early and drop dead later and didn’t want to be that guy.
I didn’t really want to be the guy in a hospital bed with all the machines hooked up to him being fussed over, either, but less so.
It’s pretty amazing how fast you can get admitted being a middle-aged man complaining of chest pains.
Alldaymeeting is finally over. Spilled into today, which was nice, since today it took me 50 minutes to drive 13 miles.
Glad you’re okay, Pupster. Might be time to stop huffing lacquer thinner.
Wow. 2006 for that poat. We’ve been friends a long time.
Thanks Leon, everybody else too.
Let’s talk about something else.
