So....there I was....walking down the street....minding my own business... when all of a sudden...a shadow passed over me....

I look up....just in time to see...

:space:

THE LURKER SWEEPER!

I landed inside with a loud "Ker-Plunk!"

and rolled around awhile...

Once I stopped rolling I said "prczbyt"....and.......I looked a little ....but otherwise...I was fine....

Out of nowhere...a voice boomed: "BRER_PAPA...WELCOME TO THE LAND OF OZZIE & HARRIET"

well...this little goomer
enters the room....bearing these green cookies....
.....

He says to me in a squeaky voice....
"You have done much to make OZZIE happy....so you are to be rewarded"

I reply "me?"

squeaks out: Yes....you....we were going to get HollyAnn too but she walks too fast and we couldn't hover over her..."

Next, he trots out a TV....and with a remote...turns it on...and we started watching reruns of "OZZIE & HARRIET"

I wanted to watch a CUBS game after a few hours...but he said they weren't CUB fans...

I told him KimRaye would give him a whoopin' for saying that....and he just started ...said "we keep a good eye on her through her gigantic windw'

....and turned up the volume...

well....after a few more hours...I started getting hungry...and said so...

I was brought a trayful of squirrel McNuggets and some pie...lots of pie...

so, I asks the goomer , If i had to eat alone...

He said yes....and so I say..."Well...if only Cruisin' could see me now,,,and be here to share in this lovely meal...."

Once again...the an butt starts to ..... and confides in me that they've been keeping an eye on her too....

those aren't squirrels out back of her place...the squirrrels are in cahoots with the goomers!

well...anyway....after a few days of reruns...I start asking how come OZZIE had no job....

he didn't take kindly to that line of questioning....and the next thing I know...a bunch ofgoomers got all huddled together... :thewave:

so i shout at them... "If OZZIE has no job...I'll take Harriet grocery shopping!"

uh oh...

they gave me the goomer evil eye times 50....

and booted me out!

:space:

right smack dab in the middle of the Warren County PA Fair...

cheap son-of-a-guns didn't even give me any parting gifts...

but...i did treat myself to a tasty chicken dinner at the fair....

well...after the chicken dinner...some blacked out memory gaps started to return....

I remeber seeing pictures of MamaJoan and MaMudDuck on their itinerary sheets...

i think if you 2 stop and something hovers over you...the Lurker Sweeper will get you...

I remember them chanting...it sounded like: "Steph...Stepharoonie....Steph...Stepharoonie"...

or....it could have been rice-a-roni commercials...i was in a daze....

and there were shadowy figures...Ithink they were Lurkers...

every time I looked over.....I hear..."PSSSST!"

or....it could have been a leaky air hose....I was busy munching McNuggets....

so....here I am....safe & sound....

what have you guys been up to?

Hi MrMouseFan! Good to see you!

PSSST!...Hey Lurkers...which of you made the Squirrel McNuggets? EXCELLENT!

 

[Hollyann]

BrerPapa! I am SO glad you're back! You worried me young man. We worried about you. Thank goodness you're safe & sound........you're too special to lose. Watch out for those sweepers!

Hi MrMouseFan! We've never met - I'm Hollyann - newbie! I've kind of attached myself (like mold) to the Threadkillers and the don't seem to mind too much!

Well, first day without hubby! He arrived in California around 2:30 am after being shuffled all over the country on airlines he didn't book! I'll call him later - when he's had some sleep......one of the things he's asked me to do is call him if BrerPapa shows up - he was worried about you, too!

I'm off to have some b'fast. Then I need to get some water and masking tape. I'll tape up the windows if the hurricane gives us a direct hit. Had to cancel a standing luncheon with a bunch of friends for Friday due to the storm. However, I hope to be able to sneak in a movie today!

Well, I have to scoot.....tape goes fast when hurricanes approach (doesn't that sound like an ancient proverb?)

Ya'll take care. Good to see you again BP, pretty please, with sugar on top - don't leave again without letting us know & looking both ways before you cross the street - my heart can't take it!

 

[Cruisin]

Mr.MouseFan, good to see you again!!

I love your Minnie and Mickey

Brer_Papa, it seems like you have had an interesting few days without us

How come it is that the lurker sweeper always seems to be able to capture YOU

Maybe the "old" man walks too slow!!!

Glad to have you back again. We wondered where you had disappeared to without telling us............. naughty, naughty boy

Did you see that I learned how to do this while you were away???

<marquee behavior=alternate> Hi Brer_Papa!!! </marquee>

Pretty cool huh!! I like your story by the way!


Hollyann, you stay safe down there. I hope the storms don't hit you too hard. Let us know how things are going. Will you be scared there by yourself with Tom away?? Be safe, please. We wouldn't want to lose you either.

Have a good day everyone else and all the rest of you lurkers

 

[Hollyann]

Hi everyone,

Well, I've got everything done that needed to be done! However, we're still under tornado watch til 9pm and have one that's headed our way! Yikes! It's about 17 miles away, hopefully it will disappear soon!

However, we're starting to get some nasty weather, which means I'm turning the computer off! Ya'll take care. Cruisin, I'm not thrilled to be here alone, but I'm doing okay. I've talked to both my sisters & my daughter. We're a strong bunch of women!

I'll chat with you later. I don't like to have the computer on during lightening storms!

Take care ya'll! Ann

 

[Cruisin]

Ann................hang on tight

Let us know when the storms pass, so that we know that you are okay

Where do you go to keep safe?

Will be thinking about you for the next while and hoping all is going to be okay

 

[Mr.MouseFan]

Hello Cruisin' and Brer_Papa! Nice to see you again! Thanks for the compliment Cruisin'!

Hollyann, Nice to meet you! Batten down the hatches down there and be safe!

 

[Cruisin]

Mr.MouseFan

Are you still hanging on Ann

 

[Brer_Papa]

Hi HollyAnn!
(Do you think Tom will find any Ozzie & Harriet souveniers whle in CA? Tell him to beware of buying OZZIE time cards....THE DUDE HAD NO JOB!)

OK!....Now you listen to me Youn Lady...you stay safe and sound while Mother Nature shows off her fury! Hopefully, it will blow ver or veer sideways before it all gets too close...

but....just in case....you be wary...

AND! If you don't post after the storm....to let us know you're OK.....you'll be standing in the corner until Tom gets home....

I have spoken!

HEY! not bad for a "young man"....but...i mean it...stay safe....please...

Ahoy Cruisin' !

aaaah...you are the Aunt Pa-tootie of the Thread Killer Thread children....and we appreciate it....truly...

if there was something wrong...PA or WishingStar would let you know...

I know this because...

I have spoken!

dang....that feels great sayig it....hope it works....

anyway, me? a naughty boy?

heck...if I was "naughty" you'd call me "Knotty"....PA would lambaste me upside my melon with a rolling pin...
and i would have knots and lumps galore!


hey...don't get any 's from the rolling pin comment...

pretty cool the way you can make the words move...I haven't done that in a while..don't remember exactly hw either...but...It is cool...

old man? I am a gentleman of advancing years....bordering on the brink of geezerhood I will have you know....



as to why the Lurker Sweeper gets me...you haven't figured that out yet?


FREE FOOD!

so I let them catch me...

PSST! Hey lurkers...what's on the Lurker Sweeper menu for say....next Tuesday...I'm available if you want
to send the Mother Ship my way....

HollyAnn....remember....stay safe....post when it blows over....please & thank you...

 

[Brer_Papa]

Hey...Hi again Mr Mouse Fan!

Good to see you hanging out in the asylum....errr...Thread Killer Thread....


tsk tsk tsk....my poor manners....

that Mickey & Minnie are super COOL!

just seeing it puts a smile on my....(if you talk to HollyAnn) young man's face....

or... (if you talk to Cruisin') old man's face...

either way...I'm a smiley guy... <~~ see?

 

[Cruisin]

Brer_Papa


I only call you old because for once I am not the oldest one around

I always was and still am the "old timer" in our group. So it is nice to have some one to tease for a change!!

The guys at work have a good time ribbing me about being old Last year for my birthday one of the guys got me a card with a picture of a spring and a picture of a chicken on it. Inside it said , a spring chicken you ain't !!!! So I waited and gave it back to him on his birthday and pencilled into it, a spring chicken you ain't ......... either anymore!!!!

Hollyann, you better be careful and post after the storms BECAUSE.................... He has spoken!!!!!! and we don't want to upset the old smiley guy do we???

 

[Mr.MouseFan]

I kinda sorta painted over the Disney on Ice logo from that Mickey and Minnie image...hope Disney doesn't mind...LOL

Papa, Cruisin, age is only a number....you're only as old as you feel...LOL

True...but...I'm still going to vote in November....

shheesh....i went from old man to old timer in one post....

my...how the time flew!



Ahoy again Cruisin' !

your BD card put me in mind of a song.....let's see if I remember how it goes...

"Oh...the old Spring chicken ain't what she used to be...ain't what...."

wait...someone is listening to me sing...

"huh?...gray mare? really?"

never mind....

 

[MaMudduck]

- Hi everyone....not lurking so the sweeper can't get me!

 

[Hollyann]

Hi everyone! Well, Bonnie has passed! We had 4 tornado touchdowns around us, but nothing hit our area. No major damage to anyone else, either - just a lot of downed trees.

Now if we can get through Charley unscathed, I'll be happy. It's supposed to hit Jacksonville in the afternoon, early evening. However, we'll feel the effects long before that. I imagine we'll start getting rain & wind gusts in the morning.

I plan to stay on-line tomorrow - as long as the weather permits! We just had a freak storm with Bonnie.....usually we don't have tornados & such from a hurricane brushing by us.

BrerPapa, I told Tom you were back....he said hello to you and ALL the Threadkillers!

Thanks for all your well wishes....ya'll stay safe, too. It's heading up the entire Eastern Seaboard. I'm snug as a bug in a rug here. Have the tubs filled with water, around 10 gallons of drinking water, tape for the windows (if needed). All I'm missing is a transistor radio & batteries, but I have candles & matches! Plus, the BBQ has a full tank of gas, so if we run out of electricity, I can cook. North of me, 15K people are out of electricity! Plus (the IMPORTANT detail) I have a brand new, hard back book from my favorite author that I purchased today that I'll read tomorrow! I'm set!

I'll post regularly as I can. Thanks again for your concern.....I just love you guys!

[Cruisin]

Mr.MouseFan, we won't tell Disney about the picture if you don't

If you're only as old as you feel then the world better watch out because I definitely won't be acting my age

I'm glad you made it through today's storm okay, Hollyann. Here's wishing that you do just as well tomorrow. You won't even notice those storms with your nose in your new book


Brer_Papa, were you affected in the Great Blackout of 2003!! Our area had the power out for maybe 24 hours or so. Just so happened that my husband, daughter and I had left that morning for a trip to North Carolina, so we were just into Kentucky when it happened and that was just on the edge of the blackout. So we were okay. My son was home but was fine during it all. I sometimes wish we had been home. It must have been a very interesting experience living in the total darkness without lights in the towns!

MaMudduck, you are right to keep moving, got to keep ahead of that sweeper!! Especially if they are going to try and serve you Squirrel McNuggets

 

[Hollyann]

Hi everyone!

I had a lovely dinner with DD, DSIL & GS at a yummy Mexican restaurant. I even managed to eat Low-Carb! I ordered my meal sans tortillas. Whodathunk?!

I went to Wal-Mart and got the LAST transistor radio along with a boat load of batteries. I also picked up a few more small candles. So, I'm all set!

Talked to hubby in CA. He's having a wonderful time. When I spoke to him they were on DS's second level patio (huge patio) which is almost on top of the beach. He's having much better weather than I am!

Well, ya'll take care and I'll "chat" with you later!
