I have been awful with my diet..... I MUST get it back together....ugh

It's tough. I'm a tall lanky guy and for years tried so hard to gain weight. Now I can look at a Ritz cracker and gain 5 lbs. Finally back down to my pre-Covid weight but still want to drop another 7-10 lbs.

We had a good and productive day.

Mrs wonderer and I split and stacked firewood. Then we went up into the woods to suspect all of our trails. A LOT of ash trees came down in the windstorm this last week. Also a few oaks.

Did some donuts with our ATV. It felt really nice and warm Altho it was only 38.

Then we cut out early and started a nice bonfire in our backyard - listened to some punk rock and drank some beer.

Tonite on MeTV is “War of the Gargantuas” one of the worst/best Japanese monster movies ever made.

Sounds like heaven! I love the bonfire and music time. Throw on a brat on a stick and a rum and coke with a splash of rumple minz and invite us over to watch stars, shoot the shit, and relax. I play a mean kazoo.

I've been poking around the Lit ORP forums. I wanted to give it a look-see. I like RPGs and the like and doing it in an adult setting as writing instead of real-time sounded fun.

I read the posting rules. Clicked on the links for tips and tricks. Read a couple of short examples. Perused the abbreviated lingo. I was ready to search for a thread to jump into.

Yeah, right.

I clicked on a thread description that mentioned a D&D type story and it was so intimidating. These peoples' story read like a Robert Jordan epic novel. Each and every contributor sounded like a Rhodes Scholar.

To be fair though, what a story! I'm going back to read it till the end. It was so good. But i felt like buffoon that had just stumbled onto a drawer of sharp knives. I had no business picking one up.

Anyone else pokes their heads into those ongoing story's? What was your impression?

 

[Khadaji2002]

The stories that have been going on for a while do read like epic tales. I personally have joined one or two just as they were starting. That was much better imo. To be fair, I haven't been around much the last few years so the level of writing may have gone up.

You were fixing to tell me off and banish me weren't you? HA! Too close for comfort for sure.

Maaaaaaybe! SOMEONE has to take over OM's duties! 🗡 You're probably safer with me, however. I'm not nearly as fierce as she is!

I keep telling my wife that she's going to end up adopting him if she keeps petting him like she does. After all, that's how she ended up with me.

But seriously, she does not want a boy cat and is adamant about it. But then she swears she "isn't allowed to move" when he curls up on her lap and starts purring. He's even figured out how to gently nip her hands to get her to continue scratching his head when she stops

I think he has her right where he wants her.

He knows what's up!

Dear @Lilianna23

You have left an English Gentleman traumatised…. So much so that after reading your post I had to take a stiff drink to recover my composure (and as you know I don’t usually indulge)

Several hours and some whiskies later I feel sufficiently recovered to reply.

If you pay attention to the photo you will see my very big, very old, gun. So big that its use for sport in the USA has been made illegal. Finding something that will sufficiently accommodate its size is impossible unless tailor made. On that basis you will need to find me someone with sufficient skills and experience to provide a bespoke solution! When you do please let me know!

Grey

I think perhaps the meaning of my remark was lost in translation. My slips are made from silk, satin, and lace providing a luxuriously comfortable experience.

I just thought your old gun might want to rest in that rather than the scratchy whatever-it-is your "gun slip" is made of! I'd be happy to donate an old one for your use. If given accurate measurements, I could probably fashion a bespoke solution for you! I'm very handsy, er... handy that way! Your very big, very old, not legal in the US gun could rest in comfort!

 

[Lilianna23]

I really hope you don’t have to use a whole roll just the odd piece might be expected! You need this project out of your life so you can enjoy it again… praying for that @Lilianna23

Thank you, G!

 

[Lilianna23]

If you wish to remain in the bar I suggest you read the rules on the door (first ever post)
No politics
No drama
No religion
This isn’t a sex thread and;
we don’t hit on each other…. If you think you might want to do that take it private or don’t even come through the door!

Thank you!

Thank you, G!

 

[Lilianna23]

Now that the season has finished I can find time for simple stuff again. So another variation of @Lilianna23 bread recipe. This time I used both mixed nuts and pecan pieces…… and hell it is good.

I'm very glad you're enjoying the recipe, G! It's so simple but with a big payoff in taste! I hope you're trying it toasted!

 

[Lilianna23]

I think Lili is perfectly capable of wielding her own weapons …. That tongue of hers is pretty damn powerful!

Little ole moi???

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning....thought I was up too early again but lots of action in here. I suppose spanning timezones keeps things lively

We do have members here from all over. No matter what time you happen to walk through the door, there is likely someone here!

 

[Lilianna23]

Work starts in earnest next week with us. I bought a four pack of blue painters tape in anticipation.

Do I need to loan you my housekeeper?

 

[Lilianna23]

I tend to drink my coffee indoors. So, No, he never came over to inspect my coffee mug. I do, however, have a video of him taking inventory in the back of my truck. It was taken in the same batch of pictures that the one you have seen came from.

Since they don’t have fingers, the only thing they really have that they can grab anything with as their mouths. So he is going through moving things both with his nose and by biting them and lifting them to look to see what’s in the back of the truck. It’s like he’s trying to figure out what it is that humans keep close at hand to understand better what humans do. Or at least this human. It’s kind of like the picture you have seen posted on this thread of him and telly looking at the lawn tractor.

Apparently, if they like you, they will pay close attention to you.

Humankind owes the equine population of the world a huge apology for having treated them in such a shabby manner for so many thousands of years.

I'm so glad you have wonderful memories of him, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

I think you did with that last post!!

Sweet, mild-mannered me????

What did you believe they were guilty of?

 

[Lilianna23]

Let us hope this saga is done for you and that you can move on.

Most people like this are alive because it is illegal to kill them. Oh wait, did I really just say that?

It is nearly done. I anticipate moving back into my bedroom next week!

 

[Lilianna23]

I knew I could get the right advice from you

We're always here for you, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm very new but definitely have noticed that it's round the clock action....as a chronic irregular/terrible sleeper it seems like I might have stumbled into the right establishment. I'll keep reading and catching up and see if I cant figure out how to blend in.

Just be yourself, be respectful (but not painfully so), and have fun! We're a great group and welcoming to (almost!) everyone!

 

[Lilianna23]

My cats know that cats like me, I think. Ethel did inspect my stuff, so she knows. However, she is not angry.


Oil change places that do half assed service do so at their continued economic peril. Meanwhile, I will keep an eye on the oil level and make sure there is oil in the truck, and then I will sort it out myself when Weather gets a little more cooperative.

I'm glad Ethyl is accommodating!

 

[Lilianna23]

Well done, sir!!

Well, I never! (Actually, I might have. But just once! Twice at the most!)

 

[Lilianna23]

Now we have determined why I am inordinately fond of you two.


We already had a pretty good idea….

Because we're crazy???

 

[Lilianna23]

I thought I have very factual advice about the L Ron Hubbard book, diuretics.

Required reading for first year nursing students!

 

[Lilianna23]

There’s also the secret initiation rites …

JK - have a cuppa coffee with us!

Don't warn him, W!
