Just moseying by and kicking the coals.
Hey, Kimmy. My grandpa was an Irish hardrock miner.
He had the strongest arms of anyone I have ever known, bands of steel. But you would never know just by looking at him.
Q, I have a carbide headlamp. I wear it on my head, too. For spelunking. Don’t use it any more – too hard to find carbide and it’s considered bad form in most caves now. I keep it for sentimental reasons, of course. (DS got a kick out of carbide. Tried to blow up the shed.)

Q - I'd rather walk through 5 bazillion miles of burnt gorilla [censored] barefoot than to drive another minivan. Nothing has ever held a candle to my Westfalia campervan. I 'spect nothing ever will either. That being said, I did purchase a "crossover" SUV this past Saturday. This is a picture of the model I got. http://www.khnl.com/global/story.asp?s=2599885Whatever the eff "crossover" is.... - Kimmy
I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. My Story Recovered!

I'm here for a moment. Here, firewood to keep things warm. And hot coffee.
It's starting to snow here. It's supposed to snow tonight and then, horrors, ice tomorrow and tomorrow night. If it were ten degrees colder, it would be a 20-inches-of-snow event. Instead, it's going to turn out to be two inches of heavy snow and then a bunch of ice and maybe rain at the very end.
Yech.
Weaver, 2Long, I'm sorry for the ever-and-ongoing religious debates. Sometimes I go to find those things here. But these days, I have way too much to do to go trolling for, well, is it fair to call that kind of stuff trolling? It almost seems like it is.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Marriage: One man and one woman."
I wondered if it was anyone I knew from here. Isn't that odd, to see a bumper sticker that attempts to invalidate a dozen years of my life, and all I think is, "Huh. Wonder if I know that person."
I suppose that says something. I'm not sure what, though.

Q - I'd rather walk through 5 bazillion miles of burnt gorilla [censored] barefoot than to drive another minivan. You're a good person, Kimmy! Nothing has ever held a candle to my Westfalia campervan. I 'spect nothing ever will either.
That being said, I did purchase a "crossover" SUV this past Saturday. This is a picture of the model I got. Screw the crossover! I want 2 see a pic2re of the Westfalia! I have a West-by-God-falia myself! ...only the 2wits at VWOA won't import the full camper, so it's a weeekender. Did you know that there's a VW camper in Europe called the "Californian?" Can't get one in Calidamnedfornia, though! -ol' 2long P.S. Happy 200th Birthday, Chuck Darwin!

Kimmy, you quack me up! You are way too funny. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> 18 below today! BRRRR Two more days and we are off to sunny FLA. YAY! I wondered if it was anyone I knew from here. Isn't that odd, to see a bumper sticker that attempts to invalidate a dozen years of my life, and all I think is, "Huh. Wonder if I know that person."
I suppose that says something. I'm not sure what, though. Did you ever read "Stranger in a Strange Land"? The thing about MB is that most people are very eager to tell you what they think so you don't have to worry too much about forked tongues. I like it here for that reason. I know that people will usually be pretty straight forward about what they really think, if given the safety to do so. Double edged sword though. It is so important to be able to express your ideas freely, without fear of retribution or disrespect. Anything less restricts us from evolving. It holds us back. It makes us paranoid. I fear posting sometimes because I think someone is going to come up behind me and tell me how stupid my ideas are. And when I see it done to someone else it makes me a crazy person. That probably says something about me...mirror of some kind maybe.

I really like it....but not THAT much.
The Westfalia....maybe....
But...wouldn't that be cheating?

(checking the kitchen)
He's not here in SAT....
Can I vent here a little?
Or a lot?
Our buisness' phone # is 877-xxxx...well, we've been getting calls all DAYUM day from people wanting us to take us of a SPAM fax listing. I try to tell them that the number on the fax is prolly an 877-xxx-xxxx number, and since they didn't dial the number one before dialing the rest, the call is going through as a local call.
BUT!
(you knew there was a BUT!)
Do you know how many people out there DON'T EFFING BELIEVE ME??? They are rude and ugly and mean and I'm fed up!
I just got a hispanic lady calling FROM A LOCAL BUSINESS SCHOOL ream me a new one...because I should "call the 877 number and tell them our business is getting mixed up with theirs!"
EXCUSE THE EFF OUT OF ME!
I told her I am too dayum old to deal with people who have not yet learned to dial a phone properly.
It's been an awful day anyway.
One more thing...$50...$50 freaking dollars...
For what?
SIX DAYUM PILLS.
I just shelled out $50 for six pills the doc Rxed me to stave off migraines. I had to take one because shelling out $50 shocked the hayel out of me. Phuckers. This is the doc that only allots 5 mins and I have to tell her my ailments as she is jetting out the door AND she wouldn't see Nio and I together even tho we requested it (but we only found out AFTER showing up for the appointment). I'm so zarking fed up with her, I am joyfully writing a letter telling her where to stick said pills sideways, and telling her that there is a special place in hayel for her...I know, because I just Expedia.commed her some reservations....along with all the jerkfaces that haven't learned to use a phone properly.
So there.
Rant off.

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow... they called it a "filling" until I scheduled the appointment and now they've switched to calling it a "crown", which means it's only 50% covered by my insurance as opposed to 80% for fillings.
One of my colleagues told me "you should talk to [other colleague]'s dad. He's a dentist."
"That would explain the sailboats she talks about" I said.

Haw haw. I'd say one of the better known murder ballads is a song called "Hey Joe" which has been covered a million times most famously by Jimi Hendrix.
Murder ballads are ballads in which someone is murdered. Often the victim is an unfaithful spouse (as in "Hey Joe").

My favorite is "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks. Google it and watch the video on youtube. It is funny. (of course - I only know about it because my 13yo DD showed it to me.....)
I helped the kids make valentines for their mom this morning. Then took the kids to deliver them at work. I get a little satisfaction in knowing that people where she works knows what she is (liar, cheater{one co-worker lady has forbidden her co-worker husband from even talking to her}), and that the man she lost is a great dad.
Is that twisted, or what?
Just watched Lion King with the kids this week. One great line - Simba says to uncle Scar - "Your so weird."
"You have no idea." Scar replies....
Happy V-day - for those that have one. Oh - wait - its over. Nevermind.

Does "Poor Jud is Daid" qualify? Particularly my own rendition, when I kilt ol' 2long off in 2002... Not a murder, really. More of a self-immolation. http://www.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/sho...rue#Post1038475-ol' 2long

Mc Tavish is dead
Mc Tavish is dead,
and his brother don't know it,
his brother is dead
and Mc Tavish don't know it,
They both lie dead in the very same bed,
and neither one knows that the other is dead.
This song is sung to the tune of The Irish Washerwoman, a traditional Irish song.
Sing loud, with vigor.
Just a quick and silly song. It is sung in 'a round' becoming faster and faster and faster and faster and....
Most of the songs that I know the words to, I learned in the Boy Scouts.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
