Whew!!!! Was wondering there for a minute

 

[sortacurious]

...but we all come home eventually

We sure do

Hey everyone.

 

[SecretScribe]

We sure do

Hey everyone.

Well "hey" to you too!!

So ... inquiring minds want to know (and I do to) ... how are you two? How is married life treating you? How is your house? Are you back in it?

In other words, I'm being a nosy sum'bitch!!! ...

 

[SecretScribe]

Good morning, everyone! I've heard that this is THE place to be!

As IL said, yes it is the place to be (but then again, most places are at some point of the other ) Welcome!

Now ... since I am (still) in a nosy frame of mind ... WHO do you hear from that this is the place to be?

 

[SecretScribe]

I didn't know she was a step child!! What else don't we know about you IL?

Hmmmmmm, my guess is quite a bit

 

[SecretScribe]

... And you are correct, the place does need a good cleaning, the bar is under 16 inches of dust and not a place to sit anywhere!

grrrrrr ....

ok, ok!!! Message received! Scribbler sets about beginning the unenviable task of trying to restore some life to the place. A bout of sneezing is his first reward!

Classes are going. Had to limit myself to only 2 this term per docs orders;

Doc's orders??? You might as well tell me what this means while I work ...

got a different math prof and he is alot easier to deal with than the drill sargent I had last term. And my buddy, Mr. Anal, while still demanding, seems to have mellowed. He didn't even argue when I asked if I had to use "fake black" ....just told me to go buy a tube of the "real" stuff.

I thought the "real" stuff meant you weren't drinking instant coffee ...

Question for NG: Just started using the water based oils and now wondering what about them you don't like? Perhaps it is because I've not used the "real" oils, but compaired to acrylics, these things are great.....and the dry time is days verses months and no odor.

Well this went right over my head ...

An hour and a half's work brings a six foot section of bar without dust (and also not yet oiled), beer taps that actually work ( though there were only 3 kegs of beer in the back that weren't horribly out of date (two of which are "beer" only for the most untutored palate)). Three bar stools are now fit to sit down on ... and the back corner table ... furthest from the door is cleaned.

There ... with a cold beer, a new notebook and sharpened pencil Scribbler sits back ... and closes his eyes ...

Wow! the place is starting to look like home again!

The "real" stuff has to do with the color black. "Fake" black is acheived by mixing the colored paints; and it can get frustrating for those of us that haven't gotten a receipe "Real" black comes in a tube like all the other colors. End of art lesson.

Docs orders...... hmmmmm, as you know last year was more than a bit ruff for me personally, one major crisis after another. Things got piled on top of each other and the stress took it's tole physically.....depression hurts the body as well as the mind. Anyway, after a battery of tests the doctor said no matter what I thought, there was no big red letter "S" on my chest and if I wanted to be around to use that degree I had been busting butt for I needed to take a step back and make a few lifestyle changes. So I told my crazy boss I was out of there, dropped a couple of classes and chilled. I am now serious about the food stuff (eating 3-6 times a day is a huge challange) staying away from my buddy "Mr. Beam", getting some exersise and realizing that the journey is far more important than the destination.

Hey you think we can put one of those fancy coffee machine - the kind they use to make those yummy coffee drinks - in here?

OK, now that I've caught you up with me, how have things been for you? And we are very glad to have our favorite bartender back where he belongs

Word of the day: Manure

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.

Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.


You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I had always thought it was a golf term.

My Prayer....

Dear Lord, Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed, This tiny little Prayer Keeps running through my head. God bless all my family Wherever they may be, Keep them warm and safe from harm For they're so close to me. And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do, Hope you don't mind me asking Please bless my computer too Now I know that it's unusual To Bless a motherboard, But listen just a second While I explain it to you, Lord. You see that little metal box Holds more than odds and ends, Inside those small compartments Rest so many of my friends. I know so much about them By the kindness that they give, And this little scrap of metal Takes me in to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you, We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew. Please take an extra minute From your duties up above, To bless those in my address book That's filled with so much love. Wherever else this prayer may reach To each and every friend, Bless each e-mail inbox And each person who hits send. AMEN

Hmmmmmmmm

A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market. A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market. A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market. We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh. We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries BUT, heaven help the elderly who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy. That's called un-American! And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby?

Embarassing moments

1. "I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?' I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word. He knew better."

2. "I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls'."

3. "My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.' My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and I turned beet red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget."

You have me chuckling here, nrcma! Those are great stories.

"Yankee" Quiz

We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the
South, and we challenge any so-called "smart" Yankee to take this exam:

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will
support a 10 pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks
in your front yard?
(A) '65 Ford Fairlane
(B) '69 Chevrolet Chevelle
(C) '64 Pontiac GTO.

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20
gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required
to condense the product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density
of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot
is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many
Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down?

5. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a
field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16
feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch
collapses, how many dogs will be killed?

6. A man owns a Georgia house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an
average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown
children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough
property for their electric appliances to sit out front?

7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep
slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average
traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it
will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

8. With a gene pool reduction of 7.5% per generation, how long will it
take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a
country-western singer?

I bet'cha thought that there test was gonna be an easy one, didn't ya?
It's okay if'n ya didn't do all that well. Just goes to show ya....
There's a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don't prepare
ya for in this life.

As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK CHALLENGE", here's some
southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece....

Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop
and place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with
them.

Good morning! How are you?

Not bad ideas...

Consider These 3 Thoughts !

(1) Zero Gravity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered
that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this
problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen
that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface
including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over
300 C.

The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again--enjoy paying
them.


(2) Our Constitution
"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we
just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys,
it's worked for over 200 years and hell, we're not using it anymore."


(3) Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse
is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit
Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges
and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment.
