Thanks and thanks to all the crazies here for inspiring me daily.

Boy Glenn, you nailed that one. Before we bought our current home, we rented a house with a doghouse in the backyard. I emailed pics of it to my MIL and told her it was her new suite. She didn't see the humor in it.

Anywho, I'm trying to to wear down the sinus meds so I can sleep. To that end I'm channel surfing with the remote in one hand and DIS surfing with my Crackberry in the other.

There's some sort of documentary about the space shuttle on. The dude was talking about how dangerous meteroites were. He said if the shuttle encountered one, It could cause a catastrophic "explosive decompression". I was like, Dude!. Same thing happens to me every time I encounter a Golden Corral.

That's how I wound up on the do not serve list. My picture's by the greeter's podium with a Nuke Fallout symbol over it. How was I supposed to know there was gas main under the building? Darned poor planning if you ask me. They still refer to it as the great Bubba Blast of '04.

Anyway, enjoying the nightly banter there Jordo! Love the updates. Wait, I think I said that already in an earlier post. Whatever. I love 'em so much I'll say it again. Which I believe I just did. Back there. A couple of sentences ago.

How does a documentary about the Space Shuttle turn into a discussion about the Weapon of Mass Destruction that is your behind....

Bubba Blast...

Is that anything like the Asian Lactose Nuclear Bomb?

Why thank you GB! Hope you can get some sleep.

Clear right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be the worst day of the week.

Thanks. I'll be sleeping with my clothes on.....

EVERYTHING turns into a discussion about my WMD Derrier. Much to the dismay of First Lady Biscuit I might add.

I'm assuming the similarities of a Bubba Blast and a Lacto Bomb are pretty close. (Hopefully there will never be cause for a side by side comparrison. Talk about an instantaneous four flush facility...they might have to shut part of the park down. .

Although it would never be side to side, I'd be at least 4 stalls away..

I wonder why we don't have basements here?

I got worried when the TV satellite went out, but like I said, standing at the window I was..... I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack.

I found some things on the basements in Cali, I didn't write this stuff, some of it's history or others stories, it paints a picture.....

We don't need them. We don't need a place to house bulky oil-burning furnaces. We don't need a place to keep water pipes from freezing during harsh winters. And, we don't need a place to hide from tornadoes.

BTW - lots of homes in California that are built on the slopes of hills have what you might consider a basement, except that the downhill side is usually open. I live on a hill overlooking Mission Bay and my garage is actually underground, beneath the house and at street level. The houses behind me all have a lower floor below the main house level that is partially underground, too. I guess it depends on what you define a basement to be.
Yahoo! Answers - Why are there no basements in houses in Southern California?

"Until now, basements in the United States have largely been a Midwestern or Eastern concept, and for good reason. Where it freezes in the winter, the land contracts and expands and will literally heave the foundation of a house up. Builders in those areas have to take the foundation well below the 4-foot frost line level to anchor it. Basements there are cheap to construct, so builders dig just a few feet deeper and create a full basement."

I'm a Californian with no basement, but came from south Dakota, where we had a basement. One room in the basement was where the coal was stored. It had one window high up, where the coal truck would back up and dump it's load down a chute. The next room was the boiler and the fruit storage and the laundry room.
The coal furnace was replaced with oil around 1945, the fruit storage was long since emptied because canning is a lost art.
I also remember basement houses. They were just the basement, with the foundation raising maybe 3 feet above ground. The floor joices and flooor were then installed, which was then covered with tarpaper, then tar. The only thing that stuck above foundation level was an entry door. Open the door and there were stairs leading down to the living quarters.
If you were lucky, and saved your money, you would someday be able to finish the house above. That sometimes took many years. I left that area in the mid 50's, so I have no idea if basement houses still exist. Good question. I'll check on it.....

I guess it depends on where you live in Calif. I grew up in Sacramento and knew of a few homes with basements. They were older homes built in the 50s or before. I live in North Eastern Calif now and quite a few homes here have basements. My last home had a basement. It was unfinished, but a good spot to store things. It was nice because we have a good amount of snow here and our storage shed didn't hold up to the snow well. We live at the tail end of the Cascade mountains, which are well known for seismic activity.

I can't speak to LA, but in these parts, there are no basements for two reason. One, we have a high water table so they'd be prone to flooding. Two, the ground turns from nice and earthy to hard as a rock clay after a couple of feet. (It's not uncommon to have to resort to "blasting" just to install a swimming pool....which is why most here are of the above ground variety.)

It's true! When I asked about trees for my Mother's Day present one year, I didn't realize we would be literally jack hammering rock out of our back yard. Needless to say, I don't ask to plant anything I can't just pick ax out or use a shovel on. By the way, to let you know how incredible my Mr. Incredible can be.....I asked for seven trees that year. I dont think my DH walked without vibrating across the floor in jack hammer form for a week.

Basements are handy to fill with a bunch of junk you should of threw out in the first place. You should be glad you don't have one! LOL

You've got a point here, also I just watched on HGTV it's an average cost of 51,000 to finish a basement. That's crazy!

your nuclear rear end is too funny!

No, red onions only...

(And cover yourself with a mattress...it's the flying debris that kills you....)

yeah, it's not the tornado that hurts, it's the mobile home flying by that'll kill you.

Is that anything like the Asian Lactose Nuclear Bomb?

see previous response...

Thanks. I'll be sleeping with my clothes on.....

I could never sleep without some form of clothing on because with my luck the one time I didn't there'd be an earth quake, and there'd I'd be on the 6 o'clock news buck naked standing in the middle of the street....not a pretty sight.

Is Mary Poppins hiding Osama in hers?

Thanks Jordy. Your so great at recognizing everyone's qualities.

Winkers, very funny pictures. I'm still always amazed how you dig those up so fast.
I'm agree with Jordy on the Lucy and Ethel peeps picture for the gals shirts. That's my favorite show besides the one where she stomps the grapes.
