Tried to sleep Saturday afternoon but the kitty, doggy, kiddy and wifey kept traipsing thru the room asking questions. It wasn't until I didn't cook dinner that it ambled thru their minds that I needed a clomp thru dream land. I slept until 0200, got up hobbled thru a shower and went to work.

(See what I did up there ^^)

Mom is fine but we need to have a "come to Jesus" meeting about missing her doc appointments. No more!

OM, I hope you know that your proliferation of memes is filling up my meme folder. I admit it, I'm a meme-thief and yours are devine.

K, I hope you filled your fun cup at the wedding. That way you can dip into it during the week when things are unfun.

Wonder, I see you brought that horrible storm right over top of us in your return trip. Jokes on you tho, I slept thru it.

I'll join the ban list:

Well home after a busy weekend. Saturday I was in Birmingham for a conference with 4.5 hours driving each way so up at 3.00 am and home @ 9.00pm. Fortunately my pal drove but the sodding clocks went forward an hour!

Today I was up at 05.30 to drive 6 honours to see my mum on Mother’s Day. Well worth it and we even walked to the local art gallery .. about a mile despite her stroke in December…. Incredible woman!

 

[Missk_2022]

That is appalling. He wouldn’t get anywhere near anything I was involved in… good for you handling it that way @Missk_2022

It was scary.... and I pray to God he just goes away... but these people never do go quietly.....

I have always wondered how something that ate all lettuce can be so chunky.

Cold water, got to stay warm! They also can swim fast when they want to.

I bought these sorbets at Costco that are served in fruit shells..... sooooo good ... pomegranate lemon.....yum

I was thinking of trying them, thanks for the review.

But probably not true. There are many women who only wear matching sets since they first got bras.
I say if there’s a bra and no panties, you aren’t the one who decided first

I will post as I try the other flavors!

Had a lovely nap... clearly needed it, too
I somehow managed to miss 4 pages of posts
Not "skip ahead"... just picking back up after my nap to find a whole bunch of replies to posts I didn't recall.
So either I really needed that nap... or Lit has strong "Hide and Seek" game

Now that I'm proper caught up... I'll have to do this in 2 pieces again. Hit the word count max for a posting

Part 1:

Litmo!

Oh, I am 100% stealing this bad boy!!

We will be needing pigs at the commune.

Yes, yes, yes - we just don't advertise that we'll have pigs. For the whole self-efficiency thing. Right, right. And, um, compost excess.

Two more on the Old Boys I Miss list.

Hope these images and your memories remind you of better times with them, Wat

Ya beet me to the punch.
Ouch.

Yep. I'll beet that hurt. (/Aussie accent)

Litmo! I just literally LOLd

Such a good laugh!!! And totally stealing this word for my lexicon!!

Win! (Jk… I could care less abt who pumps my gas)

I don't want gas goofs pumping my own.

We fill up our Torino at the local airport. Leaded high octane gas. That we def pump our own.

Now I know who to reach out to for gas pumping duty when I'm reactive. Leaded, unleaded, diesel - all high on the list of things that cause reactions. So on days where double masking isn't enough... I'll even use my Ps & Qs

THank you. The landlady and I have discussed cultivating a chunk of the pasture.
We will require lotsa Roma maters for Wonderer Gravy.

Location, location, location... need to keep tomatoes and nightshades well away from the pasture poodles!! Both greens and fruit of the tomato plant contain solanine which can be deadly for horses

Good news is that tomatoes don’t need that much room. Some people grow em in five gallon buckets (recommend to use food grade buckets). But you can put em right in the ground, or in raised beds.

They like it dry.

Keep 'em dry and away from things like deer or frost and they don't tend to complain much

Maybe I'm weird. I've always enjoyed the foods that a lot of people don't like.
The wife hates a lot of the food I would choose to eat. Some stuff like sauerkraut makes me feel better when I eat it...

I'm envious. Not of the sauerkraut But fermented foods in general. Whatever is going on with my gut biome, it takes serious offense to most fermented foods. So unfair!

Beets are yummy

Psst - sit next to me... I know how you can score extra beets!

 

[likes2watchU]

Part 2:

Whatever you do, always keep it/them pointed in a safe direction.

This! ^

And always assume they're loaded. Even if you "know" they are not, assume they are and handle them accordingly.

An accidental discharge while pointed away from everyone isn't an accidental shooting!

I was taught all this was "Firearms 101" - and that was with a BB Gun

You ever seen them grown upside down?

Vertical growing systems for tomatoes, too
Saves on space. This is a fancy one - I've seen some made from old wooden ladders and twine that work just as well

I think it is ok to say thank God or send morning zen or thank Allah or whatever..
Politics are tricky because people are polarized.... I have my opinions and let's be honest other people do too...we are unlikely to change each others minds... so probably best to keep that very general....
We are all respectful of each other and if it gets out of hand we always have a few on here that are good mediators ......

Well said. Thanks for this

I saw beet ice cream on TV last night. He added some orange to it... lady said it was delicious??

Dang - and I really wanted to try it, too. But orange flares my joints like napalm in the jungle (reference for our 'Nam Vets). Looks like no Beet Ice Cream for me.

Ok, I like beets a lot. I like ice cream a lot.
But beet ice cream??
I mean I’d try it… but it sounds pretty gross!

Sounds like those foods where the fruit or something is used to "hide the veggies"?? Also giving off energy like:

Yep me too... I have a healthy fear. If I pull it out someone is getting shot....

Same... and the person most likely to get shot? Me
When the aggressor turns my own gun on me b/c I don't know what I'm doing or am overpowered.

They put chunks of cream cheese in it too..... hmmm

Oh no! I'm out... I'm so far out I'm not even in the same state anymore.

Traipsing.....it's been a while since I've traipsed. Perhaps I have scooted, ambled, waddled, and stumbled to be sure. I've even considered galavanting a few times without even a passing thought of a traipse.

Love a good traipse. Almost more than a galivant... but a gambol? Now that's a good time. Right up there with lark, frolic, and cavort. Let's not forget a good romp, too. Strong Summertime energy there.

I have always wondered how something that ate all lettuce can be so chunky.

Right?!? Isn't lettuce like celery? One of those "free foods" where it takes more energy to chew and consume than the food contains?? Being mostly water and all?

Took mom to costco.... it was a mad house...then we went to whole foods for bread and beer..... back at my parents to unload

Brave woman!! I have a friend with a membership. Her rules: No weekends, no Mondays. If we get together any other day after work, it's a go. But she says weekends and Mondays are a complete zoo!!

Be careful... supposed to be bad storms coming through

I mean, my area is behind in precipitation but this much rain when the ground is still likely frozen? File under Less Than Helpful

I slept until 0200, got up hobbled thru a shower and went to work.

(See what I did up there ^^)
I did, thank you... was it good for you?

Mom is fine but we need to have a "come to Jesus" meeting about missing her doc appointments. No more!
Good man. Annoying as it seems, gotta stay on top of those health issues.

OM, I hope you know that your proliferation of memes is filling up my meme folder. I admit it, I'm a meme-thief and yours are devine.
Agree - devine. Thanks for the meme love, OM

K, I hope you filled your fun cup at the wedding. That way you can dip into it during the week when things are unfun.
I love this imagery of filling your fun cup. I have extended family that introduced us to "Happy Glasses" at a family wedding.

Wonder, I see you brought that horrible storm right over top of us in your return trip. Jokes on you tho, I slept thru it.
Some storms do make good sleeping weather. Glad you got your Zzzs in

I'll join the ban list:
This is getting pretty popular. Add me to the List for Litmo
Yes - totally stole Litmo it's

so much going on here... I put my commentary in the post

Well home after a busy weekend.

OMG - such a busy weekend AND your time change, too. That's like a 1-2 punch. Hope you can relax and go to bed early the next few days.
Your mom is amazing!! A mile walk already?? Which is more like 2 miles unless you got a ride home from someone??

It was scary.... and I pray to God he just goes away... but these people never do go quietly.....

That's why it's so important to report them - always. For that time where they don't go away or they escalate. Generally not a question of if but when

(Enough said)

Soooo, don't tell you how pretty it is?

But probably not true. There are many women who only wear matching sets since they first got bras.
I say if there’s a bra and no panties, you aren’t the one who decided first

I'm doing it wrong

Severe thunderstorms coming my way.

Be safe. Hunkering in the basement a while?
I remember those days.
(No basement in the condo - I hunker in the windowless bathroom when needed)

You said “romp.”

Storms passed ok with some hail and no damage to my place. My daughter lost 2 trees though. No injuries reported. Thanks to all.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

BTW the old dog can’t make it to the basement so we huddle in the hall where there are no windows. The house is all brick. It’s very sturdy.

 

[likes2watchU]

Wait… you exceeded the word count? I didn’t even know there was one!

Yeah - it's happens. I can be wordy So can some of the larger "catch ups"

Glad all are well. Bummer about the trees but hopefully they didn't come down on any roofs or cars??
Nice that you stick with the old dog in a suitable location for all to weather the storms.

I made it. New car done good. It has Little Car Things. Like, don't get too close behind a semi because you might get a bit of unwanted front end lift. It sits low, so everything is higher. Also, my ass get's a bit over it by 150 miles. Fortunately, I'm less than 200 from home to here, so it ain't long. I had flashbacks to a 2013 Corolla I drove for awhile. Also, there's nowhere to put much and things want to fall down beside the seat and go under it. I had forgotten that, too.


I will re-acclimate.


I had a nice 60 minute chat with the landlady. Wat is just so damned charming, it's enough to make a body puke.

 

[Missk_2022]

That is appalling. He wouldn’t get anywhere near anything I was involved in… good for you handling it that way @Missk_2022

The sad thing is in his coo coo ness he thought he could push me around because I am a woman....

Boy does he have a lot to learn....

It is so weird to drive a new car, but saving money is a great thing...

I had fun with my mom today... she was so happy and is very excited about our mom daughter trip.

Is that telly?

That's one thing I like about my small SUV - it sits up higher. Kind of like the Lifeguard's Tower. Let you see some of the dumbassery before it happens.
Easier on the knees for the in/out of the car dance, too.

Small favors!! Also - he pulled his dumbfuckery by phone.
Has your office been assessed for in-person shenanigans? Police Chief should be able to hook you up for that, too, if needed.
Scary

No, that's Calypso. LIkely, Telly is off to the left and out of the picture. Geezer Poodle is staring Southwest while Baby Poodle grazes. The big goat (from when there was just the one) is watching Geezer.
