I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Good afternoon.
Well, I be damn.
ms f, :P
Sorry, I wasn't greedy, at least.
Okay, meet me in bed, you wanna chat.
I'm napping. Pillow talk welcome.
Well howdily hi! Got a turkey carcass, water, celery, onion, carrots, salt and pepper simmering on the stove. 
from below:
"Everyone Loves Raymond" is a really vile show, when you observe the dysfunctional relationship between Ray and Debra. Really shitty people to each other.
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
The guys come off as weaselly and the women come off like ballbreakers.
And I cannot stand Patricia Heaton.
Wouldn't want me there. Would take half an hour before I settled won.
Vicki, darlin', my georgeous wife who never should have hooked up with such a nefarious character is snoozing on the sofa. Otherwise....

quakerboy,
You seem to have excellent priorities. Turkey soup, spouse, Obama and kittehs.
"Everyone Loves Raymond" is a really vile show, when you observe the dysfunctional relationship between Ray and Debra. Really shitty people to each other.
A-frickin-men. Been there, done that. Often note the comparison between my current marriage and my last one (I was a young widower to aplastic anemia). Anyhoo...yeppers. A marriage is NOT a zero sum game.
My current one has benefitted mightily from lessons learned.
bo -- thank you, thank you very much. I'd like to think so.
What...Vicki goes to sleep and the world stops?? Who knew????
kidnap,
Started with enough griping at the podiatrist and orthopedist to get some physical therapy. Saw some improvement from the stretches and exericises.
Turned into a geriactric gym rat. Determined to knock off another thrity pounds. Doing stationary bike and exercise machines.
You Go Bo!
Wait....didn't mean it, man....
i see
so, no meds
i have complicating problems that i have had all my life that are worsened with most gym equipment. i worked with a trainer for two years and only got worse and worse and worse.
i think swimming might work for me
bo-we took up disc golf for exercise. Lots of fun and a good work out.
OTOH, tried a pushup a few minutes ago. Hilarity ensued.

Ibuprophen does good stuff for my joints and muscles, but I'm off it because of citalopram.
Oh, I'm a believer in glucosamine, too. Took a while before I noticed the benefit, but I think it helps.

Well, this is depressing.
Unlike home mortgages, businesses don't pay their loans over 30 years. Commercial mortgages are usually written for five, seven or 10 years, with big payments due at the end.
About $20 billion will be due next year, covering everything from office and condo complexes to hotels and malls.
The retail outlook is particularly bad. Circuit City and Linens 'n Things have sought bankruptcy protection. Home Depot, Sears, Ann Taylor and Foot Locker are closing stores.
Next year's gonna suck, economy-wise. Probably the next few years, actually.

Hi, ErinPDX. How's your weekend?
Well there ya go...another Atrios thread about sleep, food and booze degenerating into healthy exercize and economics. What is this world coming to? I ask you!!???
A,
If Matthews runs for the PA Senate, promise me you'll make sure he loses.
Well I personally find "Everyone loves Raymond" funny. (No accounting for taste?) I think it is because it is so clearly crazy dysfunctional. I know how it can be repetitive, but it's like a comic strip. "Ray does something stupid. Debra screams, Raymond's brother is jealous, Raymond Mom is snooty and overprotective, His dad say something disgusting Raymond apologized Debra accepts Show over. and I remember the episode called "The Angry Angry family" where one of the boys did a story about this angry family that was clearly the Barones. They tried to change but couldn't they realized that they are terrible people, but too bad, they aren't going to change, they need the ratings!
It's like they are sick and they are not you. I know some people liked the Honeymooners for the same reason. I never liked the Honeymooners but maybe that is an age thing.
And Patrica Heaton is a right wing wet dream, she is pro-life, has a hot body and is willing to put up with the shannagins of Raymond. I heard she was hired because she was the only actress willing to kiss Raymond. [shutter] Now that is the kind of woman ugly men everyone can love. In another context she would be a mafia wife. Would she put up with Ray's cheating? Killing? Depends on how much she gets out of it. Carmella anyone?

"Well I personally find "Everyone loves Raymond" funny. (No accounting for taste?) I think it is because it is so clearly crazy dysfunctional."
No reason for you not to enjoy. But for some of us, it hits too close to home and the commercial break never happened. It is a mutually abusive relationship; he because he is soooo inattentive and she because she is a harpy. Live one week in that atmosohere and get back to me. I did it for 20 years. Seriously. But the show is funny. I laugh at it. My favorite line..."what contest in Hell did I win." ...
I watched the Nebraska Colorado game last night. I really wanted Colorado to win, don't tell anyone, but I find Husker Fans often times insufferable.

No football for me. Except when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. Then I root for whoever they're playing, since I hate the cowboys.

I DON'T live in that world (thank the Elders of Vulcan) so that is one reason why I can laugh at it. I think that one of my siblings had a relationship like that for a long time. (Divorced after 20 years).
I was doing stationary bike until my rheumatologist said that the knees don't get fully extended and I was beginning to show signs of knee arthritis. She said walking fully extends the knees. So in late spring I started to walk a little over two miles most days. That and dieting (trying to get used to and appreciate feeling hungry) allowed me to drop 20 pounds. I'm now at ideal weight and BMI of 23.71. Gotta keep if off now and have not been able to exercise since we came back from Taiwan with the new little one.

good for you! Personally, I could look at Patricia Heaton forever except that she came out as a right wing hack. As I said, I laugh at it now, but there are a lot of painful parallels. My new life enables me to have that perspective. I am a lucky man.
For the PC radio recording I use High Criteria's Total Recorder. Excellent little product.

RE: Walking. Yes, excellent low impact exercise.
In point of fact, looking at the time, I need to make the two + mile walk to the 'local' Family Dollar and pick up some cheap Diet Coke for the rest of the weekend.
I've been doing this walk for over a year now, several times a week, to Family Dollar, the Shaw's Supermarket, SubWay, etc. The excess weight is gradually going away and it's helping the arthritis and BP.
So, that said, I'm off for my leisurely stroll to and from Hyde Park (Boston).
Back later!

Quakerboy. I've seen Patrica Heaton up close and in person.
Observations
1) She is very tiny
2) Her teeth are yellow
3) She has that thin skin that you see in people who smoked or spent too much time in the sun with out sunscreen. That said, I don't have a problem with women with wrinkle.
4) She has a great timing and can deliver a punchline.
5) Her views on pro-life make her a hero to many people who are concentrated in some parts of the country (like the area I come from)
6) She is very open about her plastic surgery. (I loved a line that she used in the TV show about her possibly getting a breast lift.
"I've had three kids Ray. These are working breasts!")
TOW, essentially, you can pick up all the same stations via Real player, and the iTunes "radio" tuner.
It's the scheduled record feature that rocks.

Kelsey Grammer's cool. Too bad he has some, um, bad habits.
"I've had three kids Ray. These are working breasts!")
In real life, four boys.
And she once made a comment that it didn't matter if her boys got that much education.
I guess with her money, it doesn't.
Kelsey Grammer is a wingnut, too.
Oh yeah, it's the recording feature I want.

Why do I care, it's not as if I have a shot at them. Let them smoke we aren't ever going to be buddies and she isn't going to come over to the house and ask "Can I smoke?" and I'll have to tell her, no go stand out side.

True.
Ok, I knew that Patricia Heaton was a right-wing nut, although I wouldn't have kicked her out of bed (I have a vasectomy so the whole abstinence thing is moot). Frazier...I'm a bit rocked here. He seemed soooo...societally aware. My bad. So yes. I guess I don't need to know the stars' preferences. Like...my parents and Rock Hudson, right?
Usually was asleep before the first mile.
This is v old fashioned of me, but I believe kids sleep much much better when they get some fresh air, even if, actually, esp if it's cold air. G/Son was over the other weekend "helping" Son rake my leaves for a couple of hours in the crisp Autumn air. Took a 4 hour nap afterwards. Bundle them up and get them outside.
Walking is great. On a good day when the ligaments weren't too bad, coulld do three miles. Now the ligaments are finally improving, but there is a tremendous amount of tendonitis. I can barely make it from the living room couch to the bed.
I think using a kickboard once I am over the acute tendonitis ( both knees, both ankle.)
My back and his are stable for the firdt time in 20 years, though!

Jogstroller anecdote - the little lefty was at the age where he was just starting to talk. My cousin and his teenage boys visited us in Colorado and wanted to go hiking in the high country. So I took the little one in his stroller up a fairly strenuous trail. I was reduced to lifting and angling that damn stroller over fallen trees, rocks, etc. As the day got hotter, the trail steeper, my temper got worse. (CDousin and boys = no help at all). Turned a corned on the trail sw a string of fallen trees I was going to have to navigate, let out "Oh FUCK" -- spent the rest of the hike listening to little one chirping "fuck fuck fuck fuck", trying not laugh.

No, they didn't mention that. I had them come clean, etc. and then I had one fire w no problem. Next fire I had smoke inisde the house. My cleaning people had been here in between and my working theory, which may be wrong, is that they'd closed the flue. So I got out the notes that I wrote when the chimney guys were here and pulled the flue towards me (Open, according to them) and started this fire. Seems to be going ok, so far, and I can see smoke coming out the chimney when I go outside. Am I doing it right, do you think?

You want to keep the flue closed between fires, to keep your heated air in your home.
Oh why not. Three words you hate to hear while having sex? "Is it in?"
Deacon Blues
"Is that IT?"
Hecate, I always used to build the fire stack (in the cradle), then wad up a section of newspaper, and light it when I opened the flue. Makes 2 things happen -
1. Takes the cold air out of the chimney, and
2. Makes sure your flue is opened properly.
Hecate, you'd know by now if you weren't doing it right. I think you're a-okay.
Speaking of heat, gotta go finish installing the furnace fan. Later, bats...
"Are you done?"
Thanks, Barndog and all. I hate to be such an idiot.
"Are you done?"
"Three strokes is it?
Freddie, Sr. got tired of rolling over in his grave after following his son's "acting career."

It's sad when a child of someone famous (Sr. meant a lot to the Chicano community) can't live up to the memory of the parent. But I guess we all carry that as well, famous or not.
Better a warm idiot than a smoked idiot.
"did I leave the webcam on?"
Two unwanted words during sex:
"It happens."
It's dreary.

Well, Angelina Jolie for starters.
A few words unwanted during sex:
"You remind me of Jerry Bruckheimer"
Lenny Kravitz did better than his mom Roxie Roker. Umm, that is a stretch though and different fields.
It's dreary here too. Cold and rainy and gloomy.
Angelina Jolie for starters.
Meh!
She gets more publicity than her father.
Not opening the "tin" (whatever it's called in Finnish) can actually kill you because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
mer: It's dreary here too. Cold and rainy and gloomy.
No rain, but TWC swears it's coming.

Gah, in English! It's the flue?
I prefer Donald Sutherland to Keifer.
What do all think of Lloyd v Jeff Bridges?
You might throw Rufus Wainwright into the mix as well.
Echidne: Gah, in English! It's the flue?
Oh, you haven't lived until you've experienced a flue fire. What fun!

How about George Clooney. Or was Rosemary his aunt?
Rosemary was his aunt. His dad was an actor though right? Nick Clooney.
Mozart outshone his daddy.

Wouldn't that fit a viable definition of "to outshine"?

George's daddy isn't hard on the eyes, either.

Emilio + Charlie > Martin Sheen?
*Before* West Wing, answer would be Yes, but not today.

Plaxico..
At first I heard that he shot himself in the foot by accident.
"I think the batteries are dead."
"I hear the cat puking."

"My ex-wife's ass was almost as big."

Jesse, that was my understanding as well.
do you hear someone opening the door?
"I'm kinda in a hurry. Can I have my $20 now?"
I think that was John Voight.

Well, sure . . . but you're just saying that to drive the resale value down.
"wake me up when you're done"
Afternoon, all!
What is a greater luxury than a Saturday afternoon with nothing to do and nowhere to go?
Fun chatting, gotta go.

Worse: "Don't wake me when you're done."
I think s'ok. The time w the smoke must have been because the cleaning people close the flue.
I must say, Miss Thing thinks a warm fire is a v nice thing.
But Falco surpassed Mozart.
The younger Fondas
I don't feel like this is something to be celebrated:
When the officiant tells Claudaniel Fabien he can kiss his bride at the altar Saturday, no one will fault the couple for a little "should I tilt my head this way, or that way?" awkwardness.
It will be the couple's very first kiss.
And that night could be their very first ... uh, back to that kiss.
"I don't know how long it'll last, but it'll be great," says a confident Melody LaLuz, 28, who is marrying 30-year-old Fabien in Chicago after a yearlong courtship and two-year friendship.
The "no-kissing" rule came up as a way to prevent things from getting out of hand.
You see, Fabien and LaLuz both teach abstinence courses to Chicago Public Schools teens. And they say they practice what they preach.
Or, it could be like in Forrest Gump, where Jenny places his hand on her breast...
"I feel dizzy."

I'd put money on divorce within two years.

That is fucking sick.
Hecate -- we used to put a cushion on the floor in front of the fire for our old black kitty so we could gradually slide him away from it. We were afraid he'd burst into flames, he wanted to be so close.
Also, once we brought in a bunch of firewood and there was a lizard on it, and he was thereafter convinced that firewood=lizard, so we'd have to watch that he didn't jump into the fire if a piece of ash or something blew around in there.
He wasn't a terribly bright individual.
Hi!
And SHEETS!
I'll feel sort of bad if we do that to them today. hee.

Not me, Erin. The way the Ducks lost last year's game allows me no sympathy for Oregon Agriculture College Beavers.
What is a greater luxury than a Saturday afternoon with nothing to do and nowhere to go?
I can't think of anything better than that.
I've worked in the yard v hard all weekend and, while there's more that I could do, the yard looks lovely, put to bed for winter, clean, beautiful. I've knit a sweater for my new great nephew and, if I feel virtuous, I'll do a hat and booties tonight. I've harvested a ton of rosemary and thyme and sage. And tomorrow may sleet, which would excuse me staying in all day and reading and knitting and doing nothing.
Life is good.
