Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 04:21 AM

History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we made today.
Henry Ford (1863 - 1947), Interview in Chicago Tribune, May 25th, 1916
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The American ambassador visited the Molvanian president. In the waiting room he talked with two of the ministers for five minutes.

When he entered he said to the president, "I really don't want to bother you but I talked with two of your ministers, and my gold watch was disappeared."

So the president answered, "OK. I'll take care of it," left the room and came back two minutes later with the watch.

The ambassador said, "Thank you very much," said the ambassador. "I hope that I didn't cause any crisis between you and them."

"That's OK," said the president. "They did not notice."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


An old man was relaxing at his hundredth birthday party when a reporter went up to him. "Sir, what is the secret of your long life?"

The man considered this for a moment, then replied, "Every day at 9 PM I have a glass of port. Good for the heart I've heard."

The reporter replied, "That's ALL?"

The man smiled, "That, and canceling my voyage on the Titanic."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One winter morning while listening to the radio, Bob and his wife hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 4-6 inches of snow today.
You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio
announcer says, "We are expecting 6-8 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car again.

The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park..." then the electric power goes out.

Bob's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the plow can get through?"

With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Bob says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man comes into a small town and starts convincing people he has super-natural powers.
He meets a guy called Georgo who is unable to walk without crutches and asks him: "George, how would you like to get rid of those crutches? with my powers I will cure your legs so that you will be able to run like a tiger".
Then he goes to a guy called Stan who stutters and asks him if he would also like to be cured.
Stan says: "O---O---Of course I w--would like t--t--that".
So, the man invites the whole town to sit in front of a big stage, where he puts Stan and George behind a red curtain.
"Ladies and gentlemen", he says, "I will now ask George to through him crutches from behind the curtain". Immediately a pair of crutches is thrown from behind the curtain, and the audience is shocked.
"Ladies and gentlemen", he then says, "I will now ask John to speak without stuttering".
A few seconds of silence pass, but John is not heard.
"John, please, speak to us".
Still, nothing.
"John, everybody came to hear you speak, please, start now".
Then a sound is finally heard from behind the curtain:
"G--G--G-----George f-fell!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three guys enter a disabled swimming contest. The first has no arms. The second no legs and the third has no body, just a head.

They all line up, the whistle blows and "splash" they're all in the pool.

The guy with no arms takes the lead instantly but the guy with no legs is closing fast. The head of course sank straight to the bottom.

Ten lengths later and the guy with no legs finishes first. He can still see bubbles coming from the bottom of the pool, so he decides he had better dive down to rescue him.

He picks up the head, swims back up to the surface and places the head at the side of the pool, where upon the head starts coughing and sputtering.

Eventually the head catches his breath and shouts: "Three years I've spent learning to swim with my ears, then two minutes before the whistle, some **** puts a swimming cap on me!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other.

The Scotsman owned a hen and each morning he would look in his garden and pick up one of his hen's eggs for breakfast.

One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw the Englishman pick up the egg.

The Scotsman ran up to the Englishman and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen.

The Englishman disagreed because the egg was laid on his property.

They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: I kick you in the testicles and time how long it takes for you to get back up. Then you kick me in the testicles and time how long it takes for me to get up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."

The Englishman agreed to this and so the Scotsman put on the heaviest pair of boots he could find. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked him as hard as he could in the testicles.

The Englishman fell to the floor clutching his groin, howling in agony for 30 minutes.

Eventually the Englishman stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you."

The Scotsman smiled and said, "Nope, I've decided ye can keep the egg!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A lady stumbles into a bar. She says, "Beertender, give me a dribble martuni, and put a pickle in it."

He gives it to her, and she drinks it down.

She says, "Beertender, give me another dribble martuni, and put a pickle in it." He gives it to her, and she drinks it down.

She says, "Beertender, give me another dribble martuni, and you better put two pickles in it, because...because I've got heartburn."

The bartender says, "Look, lady...it's not beertender, it's bartender. It's not a martuni, it's a martini. It's not a dribble, it's a double. That's not a pickle, it's an onion. And you haven't got heartburn, You have your left breast in the Ashtray!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sam had been in the hectic newspaper business for twenty-five years when he decided that he was sick of the stress and quit his job. He bought 50 acres of land in the middle of Nowhere, Vermont. His place was so isolated that the postman came only once a week and he went to the grocery store only once a month.

After six months of near total isolation, he hears a knock on the door. He opens the door and a big bearded Vermonter is standing there. He says, "Names Enoch...your neighbor from four miles over the ridge. Having a party Saturday...thought you'd like to come."

"Great," replies Sam. "After six months of living like this I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thanks for inviting me."

As Enoch is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you, though, there's gonna be some drinkin'." "Not a problem. After 25 years in the newspaper business, I can drink with the best of them."

Again, as he starts to leave, Enoch stops. "More 'n likely gonna be some fightin', too." Tough crowd, Sam thinks to himself. "Well, I get along with people. Don't worry, I'll be there. Thanks again."

Once again, Enoch turns from the door, "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too." "Now that is not a problem," Sam says. "I've been up here all alone for six long months. I'll definitely be there.

By the way, what should I wear?"

Enoch stops in the doorway one last time and says... "Whatever you want. Just gonna be the 2 of us there."

Good morning everyboomie. welcome

Welcome to the weekend! yay

Most of you started your weekend 2 days ago, but had to do it without little old moi, but now I'm here to join you. thumbsup

Now let's get out there and have some fun. rah

Anybody know any good head hunting places? happydance

Any where it's cool?? lol

Guess I'll stay in, and look for them here in my house. I think I have a fair chance of finding some. thumbsup

Actually I may just get in my truck and drive around, and look for new hunting grounds.

I'm sure I'll have to use my good looks and boyish charm to convince someone to give me permission to hunt their property. think

Sure hope they're all widows.

Guys don't respond well to my boyish charms.

Have a happy day everyone.

Joe, our river is still high and it's over a foot above my area I find the heads. I am sure there are some being uncovered by the waves rocking the shore but I can't see them! I am sure you would be in the water looking, I am not so adventurous. lol

I hope you find some new rich hunting grounds. hearts

SpaceQ, have a happy day!

Super Saturday ya'll puppy

Still raining. Down in Panama City, Florida they had over a foot of rain in 24 hours.

We are sitting and sipping. Cully is up. Son and Per are still sleeping.

Soot and I watched the 3rd Narnia movie last night. I liked it.

Not sure what we will do today, but I'm guessing, not much! Back later wave

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 05:06 PM

There's a new C I A in town -cruelty intervention advocacy. Members go after people who hurt animals or hoard them. Isn't that great. I should join. The news was on this morning's Wallstreet Journal/radio.

Well, I just cleaned out the keyboard -too many cheeto and dinner crumbs lodged between the keys. Maybe I won't type so many spelling errors now.

It's 11 AM and only 106 out on the back porch. Looks like a cold spell in the making. BTW 2 of my kits are meowing nonstop this AM and they have been feed, watered, and lushed over. Should I be concerned as the rumors are if pets act differently that there's disaster of sorts soon. Pets are so smart.

I just might order Howard Garret's "The Bug Book" for myself and family -5 books- but it would be fun id'ing all these strange bugs.

On to the games

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 05:41 PM

Yankee, do you guys have lots of odd bugs?

I've always heard that animals can predict earthquakes. Are there any fault lines in Texas?

Kids are brunched. Per was aghast when I told them they were eating breakfast and lunch. "Do you mean we don't get breakfast when are here anymore?"

Then I explained if one eats breakfast at 11 in the morning, one will not be hungry for lunch until late in the day which will make them not hungry for dinner and so on.

Then we had to talk about how one obtains something from their younger brother...snatching it and scratching younger bro's face in the process, or asking politely? They really need to run off some energy, but between the nonstop rain and the mosquitoes, that is not going to happen soon. sad

Joe may you have a successful day hunting!! Thanks for teh laughs.

Space have a lovely day!!

Ana are you still free from the corner??? Have lfun what ever pops up to dao. Hope you have been improving and feeling better and that Shadow's paw continues to get better. HUGS!

Haroula have a lovely day!

Gerry thanks for the coffee. Have a lovely day!

Cailyn glad you were able to sleep in this morning. I did also. Guess I was making up for all the lost sleep from fireworks going off most of the night the last few nights. Had to keep poor Sassy company cause she is soooo scared of the loud noise. Have a lovely day!

Gail have a lovely day and keep cool in that heat. We are in the 80's with lots of humidity and the rain is knocking at the door. lol

Connie have a lovely day and thanks for the danish!

Soot eek that's a lot of rain. All that rain would make for a lot of snow since one inch rain is like about a foot of snow. lol Just thought snow talk would help things to cool a bit. Have a lovely day and stay dry!

venus enjoy your day off. lol Every day is a good gaming day. If it is raining. good thing to do is stay in and game. Too hot then stay in and game and stay cool. Have a lovely day!

L4l kids sure are funny. Abbi told her grmma, my daughter, let's go to GG's house and play GG's park yesterday. lol So they cam over and we spent the day in the shade at the park swing and sliding and building sand castles. Was fun!!

Yankee hope that the cat's meow doesn't mean anything bad, only good. Happy gaming!!!

Might be heading out of town for some fireworks tonight!! If the rain doesn't postpone them!

Slept waaaayyyyy in. Fantastic! Now I'm sippin' and reading the posts and Hubby's out playing racquetball...

Off to see what's afoot!

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 07:39 PM

Good afternoon boomies! I took the dogs for a long hike and swim this morning. They are now sleeping and content.

Nan, I am in the corner but not in a rush. yay
Shadows paw is better in that it's no longer an open wound. Still waiting for the puffiness to go away entirely before I feel comfortable its okay.
I hope you can see the fireworks. That is great you had some fun family time yesterday!

L4L, do you have any indoor playplaces there for the boys to climb and run? My kids loved those when they were little.
I hope you taught them that you don't scratch until you are sure that kindness didn't get you what you wanted. grin

Yankee, stay cool! I hope the cats aren't predicting anything anything bad.

Darlene, woohoo on sleeping in! It does a body good to do that every once in awhile. hearts

Venus, have a fun gaming day!

soot, I am glad you have a few days off to chill out. My son-in-laws sister and hubby are at the AF Base by you. I knew they were down south but never knew they were stationed by yours.

Mary, so good to see you! Your cakes are beautiful!

Connie, is your pool up and ready now?

Gail, anything fun planned for the weekend?

Gerry, I hope all is well by you.

Sue, yay on sleeping in!

Haroula, beach day?

Ana wave

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 08:05 PM

Ana, I wish! There is a great place in NE near my Mil's place....loud but great. All enclosed and full of stuff to keep the kids running and climbing for hours. But there is nothing near us.

I really wish I could figure out why the mosquitoes are soooooooooo much worse now. My kids played outside all the time, and I used to lounge in my hammock in the back and read, and sometimes nap. But try that now and you will be carried off.

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 09:18 PM

L4L, my new extended family spent the day at Barber Berry Farm picking blueberries. She has a 3 year old and 2 month old. lol You all grow ginormous blueberries! Those are big!

I just washed my truck and then chatted with my neighbor who is moving out and found out unfortunately the house next to me was snatched up by a realty as a rental. sad Not happy about that. I can hope it will be okay.

Ana wave

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/06/13 09:19 PM

Well, pets are all stretched out in the shade now and all quite peaceful. Austin is on the Balcones fault but I don't know it there's ever been an earthquake-not since written history anyway. Must look that up.

There's been a lot of weird-looking bugs around here this summer and we have those gold lady bugs too. There aren't many flies or mosquitos -strange. Maybe they all migrated to Alabama.

Oops -on 1-22-13 a 3.0 Richter quake occurred at 10:16 PM at someware, I forgot, but it wasn't in Austin. However befor 1-22-13 there haven't been any quakes. Maybe my kits will have started something new.

Lol, Ana, yes we do. Hope the folks that rent will be long term (if they are good neighbors) and short term if not.

Yankee, I would be happy to shoo some of my mosquitoes over to your place. Anything for a friend whistle

Night, Haroula, sleep well sleep

Off to make bread and cook supper.

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 12:51 AM

OK Ana, sending some Landlordly good thoughts that those renters are awesome people. I always hope for old people, with no kids (or ones who live halfway around the globe), no dogs, no loud stereo or TV and only one old car that they only drive on Sundays when they volunteer to do charity work. Oh did I mention maybe love to grow veggies and share them with the neighborhood?

Better pinch me so I will wake up from my impossible dream. woozy

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 01:01 AM

L4L, seriously, our BB are half to a third of that size. I feel cheated. lol We have a bumper crop of ticks and mosquitos here. I think it's because of all the rain, certainly not the warmth.

Haroula, sweet dreams.

Sorta, I've been spoiled with good neighbors except for one house kitty-corner in the back that ran a daycare and their pool is in the backyard. The screaming kids and music drove me nuts. They moved out two months ago and the new folks don't have kids. yay

Hubby and I just did an 18 mile bike ride. I'm so proud of him!
Posted By: Sorta Blonde

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 01:59 AM

Yup, Ana, I love kids (taught them for 33 years) but not living near me. My neighborhood was 'childless' for many years. All old families with grown kids. Only one house had twin girls and we never knew it because they were so quiet and hardly ever were seen in the front yard. We lived 3 houses away from them for 10 years before we even knew there were kids there. Only found out when they had a wedding of one of the twins. Funny.

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 02:31 AM

Hey all. wave

I didn't do a whole lot of anything today. I went out early, and walked over to our neighbor's creek for a short look. It was already heating up so I came back home after 30 or 40 minutes.

After I had some pizza for lunch, I put Baby in the truck and went driving around on the back roads out by part of the lake. We did a little walking around the shoreline, and then headed back in.

I stopped and bought gas, and washed my truck on the way back. yes

That was about it for me. wink

I hope everyone had a super day. rah

Hi guys. Haven't been here much lately. It's been brutally hot and we're not cooling off soon. I worked tonight but my clients went to a cook out and to watch some fireworks. I opted out of the festivities as it was way too hot for me and the menu of the cookout was not on my food list. I wouldn't have been able to eat anything. So I came home to an a/c apartment. I hope you all had a good day.

Calling it a night so I'll just say good night and I'll see you in the morning before my shift.

Midgie sleep

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 02:48 AM

Sorta, even when my kids were little I found screaming unacceptable. i do not understand how parents let them scream for no reason. Laughter I can handle. The kids in the pool literally screamed non stop for hours. Not fair to have to close my windows on a perfectly lovely day to try to keep sane.

Joe, I washed mine today too! The dog drool on the windows is like glue. rotfl

Midgie, stay cool! hearts

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 03:42 AM

Well, dinner is finished. Made a very lovely homemade soup. But being homemade, it took a while. I also made bread for the first time in a long time. I used to make it every day, and then once daughter had to go gluten free, I stopped. The loaves look yummy. They will be the star tomorrow night as the Per has requested BLT's and son works tomorrow during the day and will be home for dinner.

Time for bed. Sweet dreams everyone sleep

Re: Sleepin Saturday - 07/07/13 04:25 AM

What kind of soup did you make L4L? I love soup! Have you tried the Vitamix for soup?
I have a bread machine here that I will one day go back to using. I need to learn how to make my own sprouted grain bread.

SpaceQ, hope you had a good day.
