Well, I was trying to interet GWPDA in something food related, then things got smelly...
A fetching photo of King Curly, IMO.

ntodd jumped all over me with no provocation whatsoever and accused me of orchestrating hitler's invasion of poland.
i was humble and quiet and everyone else came to my defense, so ntodd eventually had to apologize.
but other than that, it was a pretty quiet thread.
I do need a shower.

Why?
Dry powder is why!
Just saw Benjamin Button. Highly recommended.
montanaheadcold,
Charlie's Cafe Exceptionale? Closed (I think) before I was born.
then i went to bed, b/c i didn't want my continued presence to make ntodd feel bad.
that's the kind of sensitive, caring kind of guy i am.

I do love you dirk
i didn't want my continued presence to make ntodd feel bad.
You're being silly.
ok, now i'm really leaving.
before ntodd gets in his side of the story.

He heard you laughing from the bedroom.
Wow, that was weird. He must have planned it that way.
It's kind of frightening when you think of how much George W. Bush sounds like some of history's most notorious serial killers.
Compare some of their statements with some of Bush's and it's very difficult to tell the difference. So far, out of those who've guessed, no one's gotten it totally right.

Don't worry about it. He assed out. In public. His fault, not yours.
You're a good person. He might be, too, for all I know or care. But he's clearly never gone out of his way to do what you need, never acted as a partner, and now is justifying further non-partnerish bullshit and flailing.
You deserve better and will get it. He might get what he needs some day if he stops to consider what he did. I doubt he will though, his odd "apology" about the 'pussy' thing notwithstanding.

Murrays must be as old.
Certainly. It opened in 1946...one of the only things that old standing in downtown Minneapolis.
There was a statue that was in the garden at the Foshay tower that was moved to Charlie's. When they closed, the statue was moved to some private residence, IIRC. A real shame that it's not available to the public anymore.
I stopped running with the snow -- been alternating evenings on the stationary bicycle & the rowing machine (which sort of has built in sit-ups)
It's always best to stay out of these things. With woman, listen, but offer no advice. They don't want that. Certainly takes no side because she will still feel for him. Bets left alone all around, sm.

And who best determines that besides the victim. I've been at the receiving end of them, all hours of the night. I know what it's like. I had to take my phone off the hook at night just to sleep at the risk of missing important, emergency calls. I just about went fucking insane over it. For 6 months I paid for call block, then the very day I dropped it thinking it was safe, the cocksucker started up again. I never did press charges, didn't want to bother the cops. Had to change my number...

I am so sorry about this.
I honestly had no idea he was gonna come here and dramatize.
Funny how when the Democrats are in charge of a huge federal government, the Rethugs say "I hate the gummint", but when fellow Rethugs are in charge of it, it's "I hate Democrats."
Democrats were relegated to almost a fifth-column status in the fever over the buildup to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
Now, somehow, as the Republicans give up control, the Democrats were responsible for everything during Cheney's administration.

Whatever is a good answer to it all, but still Vicki, you should know that YOU are who he is thinking about, and while right now he may be thinking he's "won" something, he is very soon gonna realise what he's lost.

I mean, honestly, his behavior hasn't computed for a long time. He was all talk, no action. I've been a damned fool for thinking that he was a decent guy, but I can tell you that I've been kinda halfway hanging in there...my passions are elsewhere, but he is/was a good companion in some ways.
Must be he blew his diamond ring money on the trip to Hawaii. (I'm kidding.) I don't know. It doesn't matter. All I can tell you is the money he's spent on this trip could have flown him to GR 19 times. I did the math. I get it.

If I ever manage to scrape up enough dough to go to Hawaii, I hope the last thing I think of doing upon aircraft touchdown is hustling to the hotel to wifi some negative shit on Eschaton.
ErinPDX: Is this jar of ground cloves still good if it is 15+ yrs old and has what looks like hash oil all over the lid?
The oil is undoubtedly oil of clove, and this was probably bottled very fresh, 15 years ago.
I'd toss it, although barring an exotic fungus infection, it probably wouldn't kill ya... it just wouldn't taste very strong.

He's probably pissed because I posted that he texted me that he was in Hawaii.
I had no idea that it would devolve. I was simply hit upside the head by a brick on Christmas Day. I was dazed, confused, and not capable of putting X+Y together.

That totally computes, actually. Thing is, he really couldn't commit, played at being engaged (as in betrothed and interacting), and felt proprietary toward you, but that was it.
He also was unwilling/unable, as you observed yourself here and elsewhere, to change his behavior. Maybe because he was so self-absorbed. Lots of examples, most recently his reaction to the pussy thing and the Hawaii thing are part and parcel of the pattern.

She went out of town and I was checking the house daily. Decided on a bowl of cereal while there one lunch hour. The wife and I returned and ended up having to clean out all of her dry goods.
She freaked when I told her. She said it was all perfectly good and I had overreacted. Trust me. We did not overreact. She was pissed at me for years on that one.

That's a bargain you make when you run for Prezint. O-man is too cool to f that one up.
First thing to do in Hawaii must include rum or sex. Or both.
From experience, the first thing you are supposed to do in Hawaii is get some spam, some cheese, and some white bread so your mother can make little toasted rounds of bread with spam spread on them.
This was SOP for my mother and sister back when sis was working for a tour operator that booked Hawaii and they could go gratis once a year...
The weevils in the grains cupboard could easily have come from the place the products were made at. It's why I keep such items in sealed containers. Find one with weevils, toss that out and wash the storage area. The rest is OK. (unless you find weevils in that too)
Diff between hairy and downy woodpeckers is the length of the beak - hairy is much longer.
I just got a glimpse, but I saw a downy over there last time I came to visit
I spent a year trying to tell if the pecker @ the feeder was a downy or a hairy. One day there was one of each, the only diff. was about 2" in length.
Downy or hairy, at 2" you can be sure it was a republican pecker.

People ARE generally good, and they know/believe that. So when they fuck up, as we all do, they work really hard to justify it. It's a natural human thing, and the more invested you are in your self-image, action, whatever, the more hoops you jump through to resolve the conflict within.

Oh, Please, Obi-Wan, enlighten us all some more with that folksy wisdom of yours. please.
Perhaps if you stopped for a moment, you'd understand a few things, too. I have an abiding interest in sociology and psychology and try to study it. Sorry if you don't get cognitive dissonance as you're so invested in mocking everything I do or say.

Thanks, Erin.
I had adventures in shopping today! I bought a hard drive yesterday for my brother in law's computer. I explained what I needed and what it looked like.
The young kid at Best Buy (I had a gift card I was turning to cash) assured me I had the right one.
When I popped the cover off and removed the old hard drive, it was of a different type than the one I had purchased.
Today I brought it back. They gave me $75 in cash back and since the young lady was short of cash, she put the remainder on a gift card. ($9.79)
When I tried to pay for the right one I found, the gift card was worth $75 and I already had $75 in cash back.
I told her there was a mistake. I did not want to steal their money.
But I got some odd looks.
whos is e?
who is NTodd?

Have you ever met NTodd? Of course, you haven't. You're just an ass that likes to pick fights because you think you've got it all figured out.
Seriously, the time you spend here could be spent making Youngstown better. But you'd rather dick around with people that don't like you. What does that say about you?

I told her there was a mistake. I did not want to steal their money.
But I got some odd looks.

I returned one of two DVDs I bought my daughter.
It was a buy one/get one deal.
So on the receipt, it said I paid $35 for one DVD, and zero for the other.
Since I returned the one I paid $35 for, I got the full refund.
So I paid zero for the DVD I kept.
Quite a scam, except you could never plan for such an event.
New Frank Rich,
As we saw during primary season, our president-elect is not free of his own brand of hubris and arrogance, and sometimes it comes before a fall: “You’re likable enough, Hillary” was the prelude to his defeat in New Hampshire. He has hit this same note again by assigning the invocation at his inauguration to the Rev. Rick Warren, the Orange County, Calif., megachurch preacher who has likened committed gay relationships to incest, polygamy and “an older guy marrying a child.” Bestowing this honor on Warren was a conscious — and glib — decision by Obama to spend political capital. It was made with the certitude that a leader with a mandate can do no wrong.
thankfully I have honest, caring friends who are willing to intervene and give me the pause I need to consider my actions.

His essay, "One Depression, Two Remedies," serves as the introduction to the chapter on the 1930s in Life: Our Century in Pictures (Little-Brown, 1999). His first two books on the Depression era have become standards in the field, acclaimed by historians and general readers alike. The Great Depression, which came out in a new edition in 1993, has been called "the best one-volume overview of the Great Depression." Two of his books have been named among the "Notable Books of the Year" by the New York Times Book Review, and three have been listed among the Editor's Choice "Bear in Mind" books in that publication.

I lived most of my early life in CT. Parts of it are quite lovely, or used to be. The NW corner has some nice small towns that are a lot like Vermont.
West Redding and rural Bethel is nice. The smaller towns along the shore. I haven't been to Litchfield County for a long time, but that was very pretty.
Hartford was actually not that bad a town in the late 60s, early 70s. It went downhill dramatically since then though.
She looks terrible. Her arms look like sticks. Looks really anorexic.

i don't usually disagree with you terry, but i'm pretty sure madonna could kick my ass.
Yes, JP, I did.
Nevermind, it's not important. Smile, and be happy.
I just know the lobster rolls at Abbott's.

There's a newer, smaller place right next to it called Costello's, much better value. Not on the tourist brochures, yet.
There's high schools nowadays who sport 6'5" 320 lb offensive linemen now.
Haven't been back to G-town in 15 years.
Is that near the G-spot?
How many weeks old is THAT story?
Terry C - Post-Xmas Blues
It is an old story but I have trouble getting past it, especially since they made a point of rushing to the US so Rahm could be born here.

I just mentioned the Marianne Faithful...er...song to my daughter.
She has the CD it's from, "Broken English".
Er....okay.

She'd poke your eyes out with those things..
What is so exciting about Mystice Seaport, Gromit?
I was there years ago, but something changed?
I just like old seafaring stuff: boats, art, books, songs. I get much less seasick when reading about it or photographing it, than actually going out on the bounding main. Not fond of bounding.

Litchfield is still quite beautiful, in that exclusive white folks-Mayflower way. Fabulous in the fall.
Is that near the G-spot?
NTodd, Trollson
If only.

I am. That was super-nice, and unexpected. I never buy sweets anymore, and I know no one who shares the homemade goodies, here. Thank you.

Go up around Bowie Texas. These people are large and I dont mean overweight

That place is mentioned in some of my genealogical notes.
I did a post at the scooter blog, when I ducked out, a bit ago. It's about supporting my local dealer, so it's of no interest to you, really.

Did she ever? She is a marketing genius and I'm in a mood where I want to say something nice about everyone.

Friends, good night, with extra hugs for Vicki.
Gomez just sent me an e-mail. "Fuck all of you," he says. He also says I shouldn't have brought it up on the blog...
And he says Zod makes sense
Can't argue with that.
"Did she ever look good," I meant. Come to think of it, that isn't so kind. Maybe I should pack it in for the evening.

No, that would obviously be fruitless.

Heh.. that was my stompin ground.. Bear's Gap to Crawford Lake.
Ali and JR, I don't know those towns, but I remember when Upper Middle Road was where the cops chased you and you had to run while trying to help carry the beer from the bush party.
Come to think of it, that isn't so kind. Maybe I should pack it in for the evening.

made me laugh, though. "I'm trying to be nice. Madonna never looked good."

It was always that way, no? My favorite town around there was that little one between there and New Milford. Is Washington right? Tiny little town with a nice park in it, where you could hang out by the river and build little scupltures with the river rocks.

Bush parties! Good times.

Got the Abbott's brochure right here. (Official Notice: Seagull Warning: Those graceful gulls we all so admire. . .) Anyway, it says, "After Abbott's, try Costello's Clam Shack."
Why you'd want to eat fried clams after you've had a lobster roll is beyond me. But I'm a very picky eater. . .

Okay, okay, I'll try harder. You're looking quite ravishing this evening, Ali.
I never thought of Madonna as attractive. Not ugly, but... not my type.

Zappa reference, actually.
Frank Zappa's last performance, before the Big C got him, which is why he looks a bit peaked...

it's a damned good thing that poison ivy is uncommon around there....

There's a very exclusive old inn, the Mayflower, in fact, where I play a lot. Nice area, if you're one of The Owners.
Aren't you the popular fellow today?
Indeed I seem to be, between the influx of Atriots and long-lost high school buddies who want to know how big my feet are now. It seems that Facebook has suddenly achieved critical mass, and I expect the resulting fusion to suck us all into a black hole.
Boy, Comcast is being a bitch tonight.
I sent this song to Vicki yesterday. It is John Denver doing a medley of Goodbye Again and Leaving on a Jet Plane.
The interesting thing about this song and the other I am sending is that they were performed live, many years after being first recorded. If you listen, you will find an amazing injection of emotion into the song. Not loud but very subtle. It is simply wonderful.

This is the much maligned Donovan doing, Catch the Wind. But this too was done late in his career. The subtlety is wonderful.

omg, i'm actually posting a madonna vid.
i don't think so much of her music, but i respect her as a person.
i remember the early 80s when i saw starlite on MTV and i told my wife she was going to be a big star. i had no idea.
*preens*
Why thank you, lovely Ms. F. I simply adore what you've done with your hair.

Don't make me go all Zappa on your ass, ok?
Do kids still have bush parties?? The Bluffs in Bronte were great.

Although there's a fish and chips place on the beach here, with a bicycle path along the beach. Whenever I see someone pelting down it with no regard for the fact thta there are small children about I like to throw a couple of french fries *just* in front of them.....
Meanie-meanie, he's performing with lalala human steps! I saw them in Vancouver once. very cool. Talk about scary looking bodies: that woman was uber-fit.

I need to look into buying a Victoria's Secret franchise. My 'sporty' daughter was looking at red bras with black lace last night. It is turning into obsession.
I said she could wear it at a bordello, and her sister said, you mean whordello?
Hey, I had something new to eat today. I like Jalapeno Peppers stuffed with cream cheese.
I ordered some in the Tex-Mex place we like and they brought me three poppers but they rolled them in a light batter like a Chimichunga and deep fried them. I ate one and took the others to my son.
But they were good.
Adding; Frank wrote that thing on the Synclavier, thinking it humanly unplayable. Ensemble Moderne begged him to let them play it, and rehearsed themselves unmercifully to get it right. Frank was suitably impressed, which was never an easy accomplishment.
And those are the La La Human Steps doing the Tango-oid stuff there.

You can still get lost in Connecticut.
White Flower Farm is in the Litchfield countryside.

Yeah, it was worse than Litchfield that way. I lived in Norfolk for a while, it was sort of like that too but they were a little more inclusive of outsiders.
what the hell's the name of this Adam Sandler/ Billy bob football prison movie?
