Isolated Blurt Thread

[MagicaPractica]

Are you having a single color theme or more than one color? I had a similar problem with my girls when I got married. My colors were Navy and Silver. What I ended up doing is having my maid of honor in a different dress/color all together than my bridesmaids. I've also seen some that had the maid/matron of honor in a different dress and then alternated the colors based on placement in the lineup of the wedding party. Good luck with it. I'm sure you'll figure out something that works for everyone

Thanks, I was going for Navy and light blue, but finding a navy bridesmaid dress has proven too difficult and the flower girl dresses turn out to have three different blues in them so now I'm just going for a blue pallet. I've found one marine blue dress at David's Bridal that is on sale and will work for all three so I think I'm going with it. It will look nice with the guy's tuxes.

Thats great! I'm glad you found something that worked for everyone. Dress choices and fittings were one of the biggest headaches in wedding planning.

At least my lack of sleep is going to good use, researching for a story. Now to get it to all make sense.

Law of the urban jungle

We didn't intend to have a wildlife garden and our cats have been doing a good job of deterring (read 'killing') any wildlife that dares to enter.

But the cats are losing.

The foxes drink from our pond. So do the hedgehogs. The cats retreat when either are around. The foxes are large. The hedgehogs are large for hedgehogs, and will charge one of our cats if annoyed.

The tadpoles have turned or are turning into minute frogs. The cats started to play with the first to emerge but now avoid the pond because while playing with one frog, a few others will jump on the cat with wet feet.

The snails and slugs that survived the hedgehogs are disappearing because the toads are back, eating snails and slugs, (and possibly a few small frogs), and although not yet seen, the grass snake has left a trail on wet earth.

The starlings are harvesting leatherjackets. The wormcasts are ruining my attempt at a lawn. The seagulls only deposit shit because they prefer McDonalds and KFC to actually catching fish.

If I walk on the grass, grasshoppers spring into action to avoid my feet. If I sit down with a drink, small bugs commit suicide in it.

Oh, the joys of summer.

I shall be in Mount Airy casino today, testing out their new poker room that just opened up. I'll be back around 8:00pm EST.

Last night. Oh my God! Last night. You were...WOW.

I just think you're swell.

Place for earthy jokes?

Villagers were fed up with vandals stealing their village sign, so they acted.

Can I set a story in their village?

i would love to have a vagina on my face right now!

I won $44, and had fun despite having a head-splitting headache for four hours before I left, and four hours after...

Playing poker kills my libido. I haven't masturbated since Friday. I haven't had an urge to since Friday.

That is really sad, hon. I think I'd have to avoid poker. Nothing's worth that.

My brain is dark today. Sleep deprivation? Something else? Dunno.

Allergic reaction has spread. Now I have a double chin. Good times.

Thank goodness!! This blasted heat wave is finally at an end. It's been over 96° F. ( that's 36° C. ) with humidity exceeding 50% for more than a week. Friday and yesterday were beastly, with the temperature over 100° ( 38° C. ) and a heat index of 110°.


The change is delightful. I'm sitting in front of an open window bathing in the relative cool ( it's dropped 12° in the space of an hour ). It makes no difference that the humidity has risen to 85%.

For god's sake, the least the author could have done was provide a history of the village name.

'tis a wonderful piece of news but the reporter/writer receives a failing grade. Og, as ever, warrants hono(u)rs.

There's a small village in Austria suffering the same problem of giggles. The mayor was quite puzzled why English folks were laughing.

But the small village in Austria is happy to sell postcards and souvenirs of their road sign. The Dorset village are missing a commercial opportunity.

PS. Dorset also has the River Piddle (or Puddle if Piddle offends you) and villages along the River Piddle are variously named something Piddle or Puddle e.g. Tolpuddle, Piddletrenthide.

Ta. English placenames are a constant source of wonder and amusement. The rest of us are bland and boring by comparison.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Yeap. Just as I thought. I "watched" an episode of White Collar just now on Hulu during my lunch break. I say "watched" because I played Solitaire the entire time with White collar on in the background.

And I spilled pizza sauce on my clean white shirt. Figures...

I've just spilled Chicken Bombay on my new white shirt. I blame an evening of listening to our local councillors. I needed curry to get some feeling back.

I so, so want to say something I shouldn't. In a really bad way I wanna.

No. No. No.

*Deep breath*




Still wanna.

Two hour punishing karate class, then an hour of advanced weapons, and get home to find out one of our dogs has dug under the fence, and is gone. We walked all over the neighborhood hollering her name, and little savage is sobbing.

Maybe she'll come home.
