We had some less st000pid today. Of course, I was on the new job, so there's that. That one seems like it'll suck less. I sure as all diddlefuck hope so.


Still not entirely trusting the new guy that we're leaving at the old/current/mayor's job. He made a boneheaded comment to the new leasing manager. It was uncalled for. It just didn't need saying. "I was joking." Really? Which one was the funny word? More st000pid, home grown and totally unneeded. Fuck, it's not like we can hire anyone worth a bullet in the motherfucking head. Except Wat. They did hit a towering blast over the center field lights on that one.


THe mayor is having his meeting tomorrow night at his house. I think that we're close enough to the coast to call in a USN airstrike . . . .

He has to get all his stuff done before the big day

I hope he gets 90 days for shits-n-giggles.

Today was a day.

I have been feeling rather uninspired about work and getting started on things. Going to the office helped me with that today. It was good to see people and also just help me get focused today.

Good, productive but long day.

First day of the 4H was rainy so we didn’t go. Not sure if they cancelled the tractor pulls or not, but either way, we are gonna go after work tomrrow.

Sometimes, as I enjoy my morning coffee, all I want is to listen to the news without anyone commenting or complaining about it.

Good luck with that!

My brother was using the wire wheel on a bench grinder and got (what he thought) was a piece of rust in his eye....
He tried and tried to pick it out, finally gave up and went to the eye doctor, who got ahold of it and pulled out a FULL LENGTH wire from that wire wheel!
It still makes me cringe when I think about it!

OMG!!!

 

[Lilianna23]

I love, love, LOVE this group!

So I'm thinking PB and celery is most likely as wide spread as the availability of PB? Enquiring minds want to know

When I was a teenager in Italy, I met a boy from Austria at the beach. He had never heard of peanut butter! My mom made him a PB&J for lunch.

Hi all! Just dropping by to say hi since I’m in the 50+ club now

Happy birthday!

And, welcome! This us a great place to hang! In case no one has given you the newcomers spiel, here it is:

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

I had a tiny piece of ceramic stick in my eye while wearing side shields but there was a good breeze and it somehow got past the glasses. Then there was the time I accidentally touch a hot wire to ground and the spark was so strong that a piece of copper splattered onto the lens of my glasses. It never hurts to go the extra step.

You're a walking hazardous conditions caution, aren't you?

 

[Lilianna23]

I probably have shingles. While I wait weeks for an appointment, I started self-medicating with ivermectin lotion I bought at Walmart. I went to Walmart for healthcare.

Have you had the shingles vaccines?

PSA for anyone over 50 - GET THEM!

I will wager that people here have no idea how much work is involved in judging melons. They had to be submitted in pairs so there was a lengthy visual inspection to identify any differences. Perhaps unsurprisingly, almost all contestants had one bigger than the other. Most arrived wrapped so we had to unwrap them all and let them rest a few minutes in the fresh air.
Then we had to wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before we performed the touch test. We had to feel how round they were and that the flesh was resistant to finger pressure. We also had to check for any areas that were hard to the touch.
And finally, there was the taste test...

Hard work, but I'm nothing if not thorough!

Sounds like you took your judging duties seriously!

1 Talk about whatever you want: food, sheds, baby goats, nudist camps. Let’s avoid politics, religion or drama.

2 And respect one another. This place is built on respect for each other.

3 This is not a pickup joint. If you’re gonna try to get cyber laid here, you’ve come to the wrong place - or at least build some rapport first.

4 Order a coffee. A beer. And a nice dessert. Let the barkeep know what’s on your mind.

5 There shall be no talk of romping or frolicking.

I thought we voted down the romping/frolicking talk ban...

It was a glorious day on Sunday and with the management away I could please myself. I decided to head into the hills looking for berries. I also needed to get my legs going for the upcoming season. So boots on, bag packed, and stick in hand I headed out to what will be my office for the next five months. It was hard work and took so time to stretch the legs out but with the odd breather I made it. I managed to get four pounds of bilberries for pies. Out for four hours I didn’t see another soul… so peaceful… mmmmm

Looks like a great walk, G! And FOUR pounds? That's a lot of berries!

 

[Lilianna23]

No, the snozzler still lives. He's fine. He was Calypso's bestie. We commiserate when I visit. He knows.


The landlady had to put her very old beagle down today. He was all sorts of tumors and his feet had started to bleed because something was badly wrong there. He was 14.

Hugs to the LL. I'm sure she will be missing him.

You want I should have a word with the guy who is holding everyone up??

LET MY PEOPLE GO!

Thanks, but I'll get him... covertly!
There's ways that I can change from the phukee, to the phuker, without him knowing what hit him.

 

[Lilianna23]

As there should be. Same for horizontal grinders.


I worked with a guy who had a wheel collapse and hit him in the top of his thigh. They quit counting stitches after 80-something. Oddly, he didn't bleed all over the seat in my truck.


I thought I'd find a couple of quarts . . . .

You said "horizontal grinders"

 

[Lilianna23]

Seems to me someone talked about s/he'd "cut a bitch."


I may be mistooken . . . .

I'm positive you're mistaken! No one talks like that here! We're all sweet. And kind. And helpful. And...

 

[Lilianna23]

Night all

Lilianna? Where are you?

Hey, hun! I'm here! I was only on for a short while yesterday. My trainer kicked my butt yesterday.

Oh yeah... this bs he is pulling deserves a karma smack down

 

[Missk_2022]

Hey, hun! I'm here! I was only on for a short while yesterday. My trainer kicked my butt yesterday.

Well that is good. I worked bingo and I wore the wrong shoes... the area over my Achilles in right leg is so sore and my back hurts....

 

[Lilianna23]

Boats are hers. It was that . . . or whores.


You'll know that I won a 9-digit lottery jackpot when I have bought a boat, because then I can hire the crew to tend to it.


Cars and trucks and tractors are either boys or girls. The truck is Petunia, the old one was/is Fred. The motorcycles are Zelda and Morticia. The old cars are Fred-something. The new car doesn't have a name.


Yet . . . .

My cars have always had a variation of my father's first name in the language of the make of the car.

I haven't named the truck yet. I should do that.
