The 11th official Random Fire Pole Discussion For TPBM (11)

[Becky N]

Dan you rock!!!

[mtnphtgrphr]

I do and I bait my own hooks. :D



I just heard there is quite a large forest fire in the eastern part of your state. Anywhere near you?



Oh, yeah, that is great therapy for your back.:rolleyes: Girl, don't make us come out there and make you behave...you can make us come out there for any number of other reasons though.;)



Sounds like a great crew for you today Crissa. I'm doing a happy dance for you...sans pole.;)

MIKE - glad your ear seems to be a bit better. Hope you have a comfortable weekend. Did you get an appointment with an ENT person?



Caves are good for that sort of thing.



For the last Senior we did, we followed the lead of the couple on the Photovision discs and gave her one with all the images to share on My Space or whatever. Julia and Jeff Woods, I think are their names. I also did an 8X10 collage. Gives me experience and hopefully good word of mouth.

*tugging in another case of taquilla* I've got this as a staple now on my shopping list...can't have any thirsty mices around here.:D

Fire is on opposite side of state from us... so no threat what so ever.

And I think the laughter was worth any pain hitting golf balls might cause.... Can't be any worse than the pushing and pulling of furniture I did all day... :rolleyes: hehehehe I haven't laughed that hard all week!!

[short5]

I wish I was an ultra photochop junkie....I would make that dark cloud in front a nice red flame.....guess I could try.NICE!!

And I think the laughter was worth any pain hitting golf balls might cause.... Can't be any worse than the pushing and pulling of furniture I did all day... :rolleyes: hehehehe I haven't laughed that hard all week!!A couple of years ago my back was really bad with a painful bulged disk. I was helping break down after a race and pulling posts out of the ground. It was really the worst motion using my back to pull. Leyla chided me and I sort of thought myself that I would be hurting bad. The next day I was sore all over but not too bad in the back and the day after that I was fine:shock: Total relief from that disk.

Honestly and truly... the laughter was the best medicine for me today... I laughed until I literally was on my knees holding my sides... That full body all out hysterically laughing.... I am so not worried about the pain.... :p And I assure you that if I am in pain no one will be the wiser ;)

Evening party animals! How goes it?

You were fortunate!

Uh, huh, what happened to only furniture on wheels?:rolleyes:

Most of what I moved was on wheels... some of what I had to move in my classroom was not on wheels so I had to push/pull it across the tile floor... Trust me I got yelled at alot today... but I hate NOT being able to do for myself.... :o:o:o

[misspix]

Hullo Bobert :) It goes. You?

Just here Terri. Had some Coldstone Creamery just a bit ago. Feel tired, *YAWN*, but took a 4 hour nap earlier.:|

Now that's a nap :) Actually, add about an hour and a half, and that's my nightly average :rolleyes:

[3Turner]

Funny thing about the ice cream....son was eating his 'Like It' size, smallest they have. When we went outside to eat it, he scoops about 5 spoons and drops the rest on the ground. :rolleyes: Of course, we ask him if he wants some of mine or the wife's, but no...he says he wants his own. Okay, so I go in and spend another $3.56 for him to have his own...what does he do? He eats about 3 spoons of it and says he doesn't want anymore! Grrrr! :evil:

[Permagrin]

even'n Bobert :)

We had Ben N Jerry's this evening.

I'm still processing photos...hoping to get this civil war shoot done before I leave. I gave these guys my card...I hope they see this...it'd make a cool recruitment poster...I think.

I hate when I get to bed and sleep...no matter the time....and right when the sun begins to peek into the room, I wake up :|. Our master has one of those doors to the back patio that is all glass with no blinds on it...so the sun really glares through there.

Hi Lisa. I want some Ben N Jerry's now :|. Maybe tomorrow. :lol: That's a great shot, and it would look like a great recruitment poster.

Oh I have so lived that.... times 2!!! :evil::evil:
Oi...I don't want to know what it would be x2. :lol:

Exactly why my children were raised in a dictatorship vs. democracy state :)
:lol: That's funny....maybe I should have a regime change in the house.

[3Turner]

Hmmm. Maybe if you installed some blinds............no, no that wouldn't work at all :rolleyes: :lol:
Maybe...just maybe. But I would rather spend the $300 for other things and live with no blinds on the door. Besides, its all woods out that door anyhow......just no peeping okay?

[Permagrin]

well, I think I'm off...had a long day and I'm beat. G'night kids. Have a fun evening and do EVERYTHING that I wouldn't do ;)

Ewwwwwwwww yuck gross mom that is a nasty flavor... *mom buys 1st son more* On walk back to table, son1 hits son2 knocking son2's ice cream to ground... Wailing and tears ensue... off to buy more ice cream... :p :p

[3Turner]

[3Turner]

I'll tell you this Jen...wife and I want to have another child. She wants a girl, I want another boy. I already told her, that if we do have a girl, I am taking away anything that will giver her the ability to spend money! :lol: I know I would be broke if I had a girl. Everytime we go to the store shopping for clothes all I hear is "Oh look at all the cute girl clothes...if we had a girl, I would buy this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this." It would never end :shock:.

[Becky N]

4 hours is a sleep, a nap is no longer than 20 minutes

We had Ben N Jerry's this evening.

I bought some Beyers Vanilla and blueberries this evening = tomorrow night's dessert.:D

I hope they see this...it'd make a cool recruitment poster...I think.

Me too, I like that.

On it...........:) ;)

Me too...I like those kind of debriefings. :D



OH BOBERT...where is your duck shot?

[misspix]

4 hours is a sleep, a nap is no longer than 20 minutes

:lol::lol: So true!

:lol: Nothing better than a late afternoon sleep

[3Turner]

OH BOBERT...where is your duck shot?
I was aiming for like a 20-30 minute nap, when I laid down at 330PM, but by the time I opened my eyes it was 730PM. :lol:

Haven't gotten a duck shot yet. No ducks around here...too hot. I was looking for a rubber ducky, but all the boy has is penguins, legos and army men. :lol:

[Becky N]

:lol: Nothing better than a late afternoon sleep

Not here, I feel, bleah, if I sleep longer than 15-20 minutes in the afternoon.

[misspix]

Okay then, I'll go dig up the penguin. I'll have to remember where I threw it. I used it last when I got the 40D and don't remember where I put it afterwards. :lol:

Bobert, that is a sweeeeet shot!
Thanks Terri....took me a bit to get it. He kept moving on me. If you look closely, I am holding the camera with one hand. The other was holding his shoulder so he would stop swaying. :lol:

[Becky N]

Cools shots, Bobert...guess we had a cross post. ;)

[3Turner]

Here is another coin....I forgot I had this one. When I used to work as a cashier at HEB, I would find all sorts of money and would trade it out so I could keep the ones I found.

I posted a response in TPBM for Terri's request....in the shot I posted I only now noticed that the kangaroo has one of those red buttons on his ear....like the ones on turkeys for turkey day. :lol: Guess that is there so they know when he's done in the sun. :lol:

[3Turner]

Thanks Crissa.

I will bite my fingers and not rant, much, about that event. It is an ignorance fueled redneckorama of snake hating idiots.

[Becky N]

Sorry, Zane, I didn't read the site, just Googled it after watching "Most Dangerous" on the History Channel...they were showing how they educate folks on the rattlesnake's mannerisms and avoiding bites. I bad. :( :o

A bunch of idiots roam around the countryside pouring gasoline into every nook and cranny:roll: They forget to teach that snakes are an important part of the ecosystem.

[3Turner]

Was reading through the site and see that they serve fried rattlesnake on a few days of the festival...after the weigh-in. Makes me wonder what they do with the snakes that they catch. They cannot possibly eat them all. Wonder if they are relocated or let loose after the festival.

Well, I broke a self-inflicted rule and didn't research first...I'm a big Snopes visitor...I posted on impulse when I saw this on the tube...should have known better.

Was amazed how huge the Eastern Diamomd back can get however.

[3Turner]

Well, I'm tired and gonna go to bed. *hops into the Batmobile* I'll give rides tomorrow if I don't wreak it :D:lol:

I really don't have a problem with someone catching and eating a few snakes or clearing pastures. The problem is it is an unregulated species so, unlike deer for example, the population is not monitored and limits set on how many can be taken. I imagine they are skinned and the meat is sold for consumption, the skin is used, and the rattles glued to novelty crap. The fact that an animal is used or eaten has no relevance to killing it. That is a feel good, emotion based, idea ingrained in us since we were taught natives were not bad for killing because they used the whole animal. The real issue is how does it effect ecology and the environment. Hunting raises huge sums of federal and state money for real conservation and habitat. Much more than many so called environmental groups who are just lobbyists. If someone wants to kill a deer for a "trophy" and not eat it the impact is the same. Money is raised and the population is kept at levels healthy for the environment. The eating part is purely emotional justification. Okay I'll stop now, thank you for listening.

G'MAE Ya'll!

I had an early morning wake up.... My boys hollering that Sadie was having her kittens... IN THEIR ROOM :shock: I had her a space all set up.... she didn't like it apparently... She had four kittens... :) They're resting comfortably under the shelf of the boys loft bed... They're all black or black & white. Mother & babies seem to be doing well :D

[Becky N]

Sterile and bland?!?!? :shock:

[Becky N]

Congrats, Granny Jen. :D

G'MAE all. Off in a bit to a Garden Fair...Graduation Party...Softball game... three separate events, I'm tired already. ;)

[mtnphtgrphr]

awww....poor little. She can't be that old either. How are the babies?

She is quite young herself... I don't know how old, but she was obviously still a kitten when I got her... I'd guess less than a year old. The babies are doing fine... all busy eating :) They are even already showing some personality! :p hehehehehe

And now I have to go to work for a few hours! :( I'll post another update when I get home!

[thomascanty]

Congrats on the furbabies, Jen!

Sterile and bland?!?!? :shock:

I set up our new AC last night Deb, hoping it works well. We got one of those portable ones instead of an in-window. We have to pay $175.00 to have an in window installed and they couldn't do it till Monday.

Hi Lonnie ~ how ya doing with Minnie these days is she becoming a better dog ? um on walking I mean .

I don't know. I don't feel like I can trust her off-leash, so I haven't tried any more. Other than that, she's well behaved.

[Miniflash]

I can hardly believe next weekend I'll be in PA ...Yay ..I hope to be able to take some pictures to show you all where I use to live for 45 yrs ..:) I love NY, where I am , much more but Pa is a beautiful State .

[Permagrin]

How about where you'll be going to Lisa ..more of the same >?

I set up our new AC last night Deb, hoping it works well. We got one of those portable ones instead of an in-window. We have to pay $175.00 to have an in window installed and they couldn't do it till Monday. We are on the top floor of a brick building with a flat tar roof above us, our apartment BAKES in this weather, we needed something fast.
We have a window AC here ya just pop in but I know in Apts its not so easy ..I hope it works well for ya better than nothing for sure !

A couple from Baltimore more sometime but I am fading here.

For Dan

That's the 327' USCGC Taney (WHEC 37) built sometime in the thirties and saw battle time in WWII, Korea and Vietnam and a host of other, small wars. If memory serves, the Taney is the last ship afloat that fought in Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941.

Hey good people. :D
I'm not caught up, my apologies. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. :D

Hi, Cat.

[thomascanty]

My last place had a window mounted A/C unit. That thing could barely keep up with the heat. It only made the living room tolerably warm while the rest of the apartment was HOT. It also sucked up electricity like it was going out of style.

The place I'm in now has central air and it costs me a small fraction of what that damn window mounted thing cost to run...

[Skrim17]

We can't put window ones in ourselves, they come and remove the lower pane of glass from your window and put an aluminum panel into it with a sleeve for the AC depending on size, that way nothing can fall out if you don't put it in right!

[Miniflash]

here is a shot from yesterday ..a dry pansy ~

Sorry, Zane, I didn't read the site, just Googled it after watching "Most Dangerous" on the History Channel...they were showing how they educate folks on the rattlesnake's mannerisms and avoiding bites. I bad. :( :o

I had that on last night while I was doing some HD cleaning. I didn't pay a lot of attention, but I did see the Eastern Diamondback. One of the local traffic reporters here was bitten recently. She survived, but she said it wasn't something she ever wanted to do again.

That it is

My AC is up and running, the house feels GREAT!What is nice is the harbor is surounded by shops and a mall and stuff to go in with AC so you can shelter if needed.

[Miniflash]

Yeah and look a bit right of it the Hard Rock Café is falling the opposite direction:lol:

That leaning tower is the Baltimore World Trade Tower and is allegedly the tallest Pentagonal building in the world which I found disappointing.

Crissa I'm glad its working good for you :) Hey does it have anything you need to vent on it ?just wondering .

It has a hose that you vent out the window, but the opening is small and the window is opened only about 5 inches to accommodate it.

Howdy everyone, party time?:lol:
Sorry I passed out before I finished the first bottle.
Hey, give a guy a break. I will work on a good portable kitchen for whipping up a bit o' nosh when needed. :D
That way we can easily move it next time.

Ok just as long as we can cook a burger and most importantly FRENCH FRIES!
What would you do with the burger? I can't picture you eating one.....hehehe:lol:
