The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Stupid animals! No, not you guys. Our animals are acting like...well, animals. I don't know what's gotten into them tonight.

First the cats start burrowing in the treat box. I end up having to turn the box around and face the opening towards the wall in the middle of the night.

Then our dog has to, uncharacteristically, go potty outside again. So I have to throw on clothes and jacket and shoes and march her down the hardwood floored hallway to go out with her. Gotta be out there with her late at night or the coyotes will try to lure her away.

Then the outside dogs start a howl. OMG, can this night even get worse?!? Again, I get some clothes on, jacket, shoes, all the while they're howling and making more of them howl. I step out onto the porch and give them my best "I'm ready to fuck someone up" shout, and they shut up....till I walk in the house. I'm not proud of what I did next but it worked.

Did someone say "club"?

I might as well put on some coffee.

Did you get any sleep at all??

Sounds like a comedy of errors.
 
I haven't been to sleep yet. On my 3rd cuppa.

Things settled down for a couple of hours but ...

Ah well, I have a headache to keep me company today at least.

Sounds like it’s been a long night. Third cup already—trying to outlast the headache? Hopefully, the day gives you some peace, or at least a good excuse for a nap later. Take care of yourself.
 
Hope everyone is sufficiently caffeinated today...
Sounds like a few folks attended early morning club meetings already today. 🫂

Quick catch up before I dive back into work...
We got SNOW today!
Same - well, enough to visibly count as snow. Not enough to pull us out of a precipitation deficit or require a shovel or anything :rolleyes:
My hubs had barbecued alligator and snake when we went to Orlando. I was there for a conference so I worked all week. He had fun.
I tried alligator quesadillas in Spokane, WA at a Cajun restaurant. It did not taste like chicken... reminded me more of calamari the chewy head part of the deal. :cautious:
1am wake up club
I thought that was you... that's about the time I finally fell asleep :rolleyes:
Our animals are acting like...well, animals. I don't know what's gotten into them tonight.
Sounds like a long night!! :coffee:
These two posts need to be absorbed together.


:D
Absorption issues? On a Monday? :eek:
Safe travels today, Wat
Monday is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This feels a little over exuberant for a Monday... :unsure: Perhaps someone is a tad over caffeinated???
No. They didn’t even film the movie in punxatawny - it was made in some quaint small town in Illinois.

Punxy is not as nice and quaint. (It’s not bad… just a different town)

The event is backsally for tourists and drunk college students. There were 40k people, so they bu you from different places, so you can’t get a spot. Lots of waiting in the cold in lines for busses. I think the locals are like, “help the local economy…. Now leave.”

And gobblers knob (I said knob) is like 5 miles out of town.

Although I was dressed appropriately. You’re outside in cold weather for a good 5-6 hrs.
Sounds so appealing the way you've described it. I'll be sure to book early for next year. 🤭
Morning everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve popped in, and trying to catch up on a week’s worth of posts is a Herculean task. So, I’ll just stop in cold to say “hi”. I hope everyone had a good weekend.
No need to stay current... love seeing you when you've the time for a pop-in 😍

And I'm not sure, but there may be some new faces this morning as well... hmm, just new to me maybe??
Just in case... here's the latest welcome spiel wordified by our Wat...

Welcome. We encourage reading the very first post and the last 20-30 pages to get the feel of the place.

Basically, no politics, no religion, no flaming and no hitting on the wimminz. There are half a gazillion threads on Lit for chasing tail, and this ain't one of them. So if it/we look like a fit, pull up a chair and set a spell. If not, there's one awful lotta Lit out there.
 
I did get a 200 round group therapy session in yesterday. Nothing like the smell of cordite to get your mind refocused. 👍
I’m going to round therapy this Friday! 😀. Can’t wait!

Hope the weekend was warm and cozy for all. Looks like a huge swath got snow. Was in the Pacific NW over the weekend and it started snowing just as the Big Ol’ Jet Airliner rotated to wing me back east redeye style. One more day on the road and I’ll heading home.

Key West MZ till it starts to thaw. Get used to it!

My wife slugged me once in the face!

OK - it was not intentional. She turned over in her sleep, but did give me a right hook right to my face. It hurt pretty good! 🤨😂
We sleep in spoons position. I've seen that leg fly out at Mach 2.0 in the middle of her dreaming. Like a firearm, point her in a safe direction at all times!

We had one of those unintentional incidents many years ago, too. For whatever reason I must have swung in my sleep. However what surprised us both is that she blocked it in her sleep! It woke both of us up, and we just sat there staring at each other.

That gives you an idea what training can do to the brain/body. Muscle memory, or pure reflex at that point. She wasn't even conscious and blocked. Combat and handling, um, er, stuff benefits from constant practice!
