Reading, seeing and hearing Part 4

[Yzma and Kronk]

My edit Yaks name...Yes all us Canadian look and sound alike. We are eskimos don't you know.

Hee-hee NAB, just got back from skating and dinner.....

You are truly a Canadian

Because

You are too funny!

I must say!

 

[edcrbnsoul]

I was just doing some back reading and I was amiss in not saying

for all the Birthday Wishes.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Thanks Lou and Brandt!

I was out having dinner and at the rink, but I now have the deal on what happened on Grey's.

ABC sent the Canadian stations the wrong episode and hence we got next week's, this week and missed episode #1

It was all over the news as NAB said earlier.

So ABC is replaying #1 tonight so I'm taping it.

There was actually only one part in #2 that didn't really make sense, but I won't tell you.....

Watch for the towel next week!!!!

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Nope Kim your not the last one well at least not yet. If only work wasn't so busy now I'd had it finished by now

I'm not done either.

But my TR drops off the Board faster than a brick in water....

I have written the last chapter and epilogue but only a rough draft so it's not posted yet. It should be done sometime this week, so I'll make the deadline!

Everyone! Very early morning shout out.

Late night for me - went to some friends for some PF Chang takeout after work and had some lovely organic Riesling with dinner. Yum.

Tink, I LOVE Somewhere in Time too, especially the music - it was filmed on Mackinac Island. We have seen several of the spots where they filmed. One of my favorites is the Round Island lighthouse. The gazebo is on the grounds of the governor's residence. Very picturesque and a nice perk for the Gov. They have a SIT weekend up there every fall, but I've never been.

Brandt - Seeing the Lion King will be a great taste of Disney! I had an aisle seat and it was very cool to have the "animals" pass right next to me during some of their stage entrances.

Steph - Sending some pixie dust and hope that everything comes together for you.

Mark - Thanks for posting the cute pics of Wesley in his prince costume. Enjoyed seeing Amy's handiwork. Nice job, Amy!!!

HOOray for your vacation, Dre!!!!!!!!!!!

Grammy - Looking forward to seeing a pic of your new do!

To Haley and others who commiserated with me at chat earlier this week (can't remember who all was there, maybe Horsey and Pongo?) about not being able to be with my daughter on her birthday Tuesday since she is away at school . . . THANK YOU. I still miss her a lot, but am doing better now that her birthday is past. I'm looking forward to seeing her next month.

Just wanted my friends here to have a chance to see my daughter's pic, since I really appreciate that so many have shared photos of their children and grandkids.

 

[HaleyB]

Wait just a cotton picken second there
This time I really mean it. I'm outta here. Fore.
Wow. What a great afternoon to be alive

Great tags b. Very fitting.

Ed I always thought you were a mister.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Great tags b. Very fitting.

Oops - I forgot to say before to B: CONGRATS on the tags!

Thanks, for the reminder, Haley. Glad you get to see your son soon. Plus you get to go to the World. I have to wait four weeks. Wish it was only two weeks for me!!! I am jealous!

Not sure whether to congratulate Sher on her tag. Was the new avatar added by the Tag Fairy too?

Sid - WHAT'S NEW? No fair teasing! Do I get another assignment his weekend?

HOOTY and

[sleepydog25]

And what would a Saturday morning be without a morning grump out from someone? I'll take the challenge. Dogs. Like'em, used to have one. Doc isn't too keen on them though Princess is bugging her about getting one. Enter our new neighbors, about 100 yards away. They have four English bulldogs and two Jacqueline Kennedys (anyone guess what those are?). And. They travel in a pack. . .anywhere they want, up and down this hill upon which we live. They aren't truly ferocious, but they are unsettling to a 6-yr old and to those who actually don't like dogs. They will come right up to you and bark, snuffle, hop up and down in their best Yoda imitation. . .oh, and they poop in my yard (do I have your attention now, tink?). You know, if I wanted dog poop in my yard, I'd own a frickin' (sorry frickles) dog. And they're stupid. The leader led a gang bark on my riding mower a couple of months ago. . .while I was mowing. . .and proceeded to get a split lip when he lunged at the spinning blades.

The dogs' latest behavior has finally tipped me into action beyond polite small talk with sad neighbors. They have now taken to coming into our yard, right up to the front stoop at all hours of the day or night (whenever the inconsiderate owners let them roam unattended) barking because they can see in the house. And we have cats. 10 p.m.? Frequently. 1:30 a.m.? Once. 5 a.m.? A few times. So, we got the neighbor's phone number, and we now call them no matter what time it is. Period. "Get your dogs and rein them in. . .PLEASE!" Amazingly, after just a few phone calls, the fence began magically appearing on their property. That's a good sign, because I am but one heart beat away from a BB gun popping pellets in their sessa. . .the dogs not the neighbors, though that thought has crossed my mind. I am a mild-mannered man, a devout advocate of "live and let live" in most instances. But. To paraphrase an old adage: "Your poop ends where my fence begins."
We shall see what we shall see re: the fence. . .and my aim. . .

HOWEVER, it promises to be a decent day here, a long bike ride to ensue later this afternoon, followed by a wine tasting and dinner with friends tonight, and the cruise is only five days away. . .on with the show!

Bouviers. Dog! You don't like dogs? Why did you not pick Sleepycat25? And what does the 25 stand for anyway? I am glad you are the refined southern gent you are. Some rednecks would undoubtedly take to target practice on said pack. Good luck and remind me to send you a pooperscooper from Petco.

 

[latoberg]

Okay, MSO to everyone.

Part 5b is up on the trip report. Another embarrassing story. Involving gas.

Madness is setting in at the bertberg household. Well not really. Final preparations for the trip are now underway.

Don't expect too much from us over the next few days. You know why.

 

[horsegirl]

I never will again. after that trippie installment. and I will be hesitant to stand near you in line at EE. OMG! That was a funny chapter T. Ick, though.

I will just add that I in no way advocated said gas story.

We're out in a few short hours! Yeah!
Be good while we're gone. Make sure the house is still clean when we get back children.!
LY/MI All!

Some of you who know who you are. See you all in a few days!

Bingo! Actually, I love dogs, too. Used to own a lab/rottie mix but I wasn't home enough to properly care for her back then so gave her to a good home. I still get updates on her occasionally, in fact. Funny you mention the redneck thing. There has been a raging argument in the Hot Line section of our paper about straying dogs the past couple of months. Too funny. As for the pooper scooper, I use a small hand trowel, and I toss the "jewels" back into the neighbor's yard. . .just finished doing that very thing not five minutes ago. . .and work continues on the fence.

As a sidenote, sleepydog came about because when I lived in AK, my fave coffee place was Sleepydog Coffee Co. Spent many a Saturday morning there or visited it on my way to a hike or ski. I just like the number 25. Besides, someone (several someones) had taken the original monniker so I needed a number.

ALSO: Have a great trip dre and berg! The house won't be too messy (save for the occasional dog poop).

Sleepy, Horsey DRE AND LACTO, (I'm learning), Grammy:

Happy Weekend. Sure was fun talkin baseball for a change Dog. Love the Twins and the Cardinals. DRE AND LACTO, have a great trip. Horsey, shouldn't you be getting your hair done, toes polished or the like today? Have a great Day. I'm gonna be doing kids sports all weekend. I'm gonna be happier than a ground hog in fresh dirt.

BDG

 

[AshClan]

Lacto and Dre: HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP! We will see you soon!! NOW, I have to get back to that TR. Sounds like I'm missing some fun. Or grossness. Whatever.

But first, Mark & Rhonda, don't think I said so here yet, but beautiful, adorable pics of Wesley. And Amy!! You are such a talent. Great job on the costume. Wesley must be thrilled to pieces (he looks it!!).

Dog! You don't like dogs? Why did you not pick Sleepycat25?

Horsey, THAT is funny. SD's name didn't even cross my mind while I was reading his kvetch. And, SD....sounds to me like you handled the situation well (and pretty civilly, if you ask me). Hope that fence goes up quickly. Our neighbors have a reaaaalllllllly old fat beagle who gets out and runs down the street every once in a while, but I don't think I've ever heard him bark. I don't think I would be happy if we had a barking dog in the neighborhood. (Well, if we do, I don't know about it, anyway. We're fairly spread out here.) I like my quiet. Which is odd, since I kinda grew up as a city girl.

MSO to everybody else. I am on a laundry/ironing/packing mission this weekend. And a waxing/nails/bookfinding mission, too. It is a rainy miserable day here. Boo. Was hoping to get just a little bit more sun.

HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!

I would like the Twins if a) I really cared as much about baseball as I did years ago, and b) they hadn't beaten my Cards in the Series when home field advantage decided every game. I'm more of a college sports guy, though I don't even follow that very closely--getting too much like pros. . .save for my favorite teams: any service academy team against anyone else. They are true student-athletes each and every one.

I am soon outta here for a bike ride. . .20 miles. . .time to sweat. . .

Dre and Lacto - Have a great time - Eat everything

Grammy! Don't tell Lacto that! Go forward and read his latest chapter. For the sake of your children, wife and fellow line standers, Lacto DO NOT EAT EVERYTHING!!!!

Make sure Lacto's head is ready for rubbing

Taken out of context.....

I toss the "jewels" back into the neighbor's yard. . .just finished doing that very thing not five minutes ago. . .and work continues on the fence.

I have a mental picture of this.

Horsey, shouldn't you be getting your hair done, toes polished or the like today?

Why yes! As a matter of fact I have a spa appointment today and another on wednesday. Think of the cowardly lion at the Emerald City!

Ash! I did the laundry yesterday. Now I have to put it all away... This is drudgery, drudgery I say! This time next week, you will have met the Yeti!
