After noon sherod,RRone,cougar and others,

I was wondering the same. I used to be real active in a rock hounding forum and I now I cant remember why I drifted away.

Sigh.... 27 here. At least its a dry cold.

Dang it, that could have hurt somebody. Actually I think I can hear what they are saying and thinking at night but I cant seem to control them.
Luckily, aluminum foil will block it if I want some sleep.

Nice of you to stop by when you can.

Didn't know that. I'm glad his name popped up.

I get easily confused . Dang, having to work out the bill in advance makes a guy feel even worse.
I have a sister in-law who doesn't work, hasn't worked for years and has practically destroyed her liver with booze and drugs.
She could work if forced to. She pays no taxes and gets govt assistance.
Because hospitals have to treat if forced, she gets her medical treatment for free and you and I pay for it.
You can get a lot of free things if you have no shame.

Luckily (or unluckily) good bacon has tripled in price over the last few years so we don't eat it all the time.

Used to be able to blame the dog or cats for bumps in the night so now I don't know what we have.

Hey!! First Heidi and now you? I've got to say GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!! I shouted louder

------------------------------------- Denver better hope it snows!

Yikes!
Wife and I must be getting old. We really didn't think the halftime show was very good.
I had never even heard of the first act.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Now I will really sleep good at night.

When I had a house full of kids, we were on a live off the land kick, and I killed a woodchuck that was raiding the cabbage. Kids insisted we cook it.

Yuck. That pretty much put an end to that line of experimentation.

-22 this morning. Heard a demented chickadee singing his spring song as I was building a fire under the Pickup.

Monthly pot luck shindig at church. Got home about 2. Napped till 4. Looked out the window and the welfare white tails were laying down behind the garden, waiting for some hay. They sort of sauntered away when I walked out there. Were back within two minutes after i left.

FiverBob

Seattle was ready - - Denver was not. Wow, what a skunking. Ianna, our little leukemia granddaughter out in Seattle was all decked out in her Seahawks tea shirt with her pompoms and was cheering for HER team my son was reporting. She was enjoying it completely. Very fascinating game.

Heading for the beddy bye.

Justwannabeme

guess I forgot to tell peyton he was playing today...

bizzare is my word for the game. but for one dollar I hit 7 times on the weird scoring.....better than vegas, baby!

gosh the food was good, shoot even had chocolate beer.

so glad to hear Fiverbobo.... you go girl!! rock the seahawk cheers !!!

my cat made better tackles....


let's have a good safe week DTR readers!!! and chiakwa

I don't know who was in charge of the sound check, but no one where I watched could hear a **** thing from the RHCP part of the show. I wish they would have come out shooting those things that were flopping around on the stage beforehand, though. Dude (think it was a dude) at the start sure ain't no drummer, neither.
I went to town to see a football game. I could have watched that much of a game at home, and my TV only gets a signal from the DVD player!! I do have a theory, though. New Jersey smells so bad, the stench had them distracted!!!
I had a thought during halftime. Can you imagine the response, with all the cops there, if someone had pointed a laser pointer at the (I think was a) dude's head?
I have an uncle who tried to cook one once. I guess it stunk so bad grandma didn't let it get finished.
That's my problem. I'll correct cashiers and waitresses if they give me the wrong change.
I used to frequent a forum that, well, I'm not sure what kind of forum it started out as. But I don't wonder why I left, I wonder why I stuck around as long as I did. I mentioned something about my stepsister's one friend who added me on facebook (as her brother, the two were nearly inseparable when I was back east) and somehow that meant I was trying to pick up 15 yr olds. I wonder where their minds were that they made that particular jump. But that was enough that I finally told them where to shove it and haven't been back. Started coming in here and life got a lot brighter, too. Lots of bitter racist old guys there. One wrote his daughter out of the will for bringing home a black boyfriend, who had, at 16, took care of him through his health problems after his wife died, even taking care of her estate.

Nice of those who knew to tell us!

Badgers!



I've had 'chuck when I was a kid. Kinda garbage-y/gamey. Raccoon wasn't all that great either. But if we killed it, we ate it. Thems were the rules.

That's mostly because I'm here. And maybe Bark too. But mostly me.

Today's thought:
All you need is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

How is it that a team from Seattle and a team from Colorado end up playing in New Jersey, (of all places!)?


C0ffee & ph00 are ready.

TOB&F today!

FiverBob

Morning gang - - time to rise and shine - - the sun is - - uhhh, well, almost up - - - well, honestly, it is really dark out there yet. So what, rise and come get some coffee - - - and ph00 - - - and make your tea - - all is waiting for your arrival. ..............................PH00..........

Peyton just did not have it nor did the others on Denver - - it was not good. I think the turnovers rolled them over. Seahawks are quick on defense - - very little gets by them. You could see glimpses of the old Peyton with a few sharp passes, then suddenly he would bomb out.

Talked again with the son in Seattle after the game and Ianna was cheering as like she knew exactly what was happening - - just turned 4. She even had the 7 month old twins wound up and squealing. Son said the place was rocking with all the racket. People were out in the streets hollering, lighting off fire crackers with radios blaring the game as it was finishing - - horns honking from the cars passing by - - wild party.

OK, off to get my day running. Have a gudurn,

Bob

SCOTT - - I didn't see you - - how did you sneak in ahead of me - - didn't see you around the coffee pot either. Hmmm????? Are you sure you were here?

Scotty

Hi



Bye

Fronty Owner

See, you have friends.

Good morning yall.

Nice breakroom BarkBark. That's a little scary about the frame falling off the wall. I had one do that a few weeks back and the dog and I jumped out of our skin when it crashed on the tile. We were jolted into high alert but weren't certain what we were looking for.

Bob, you can say that again about the weather. We are soggy down here and need to dry out. Hello humidity.

We've jumped into a busy couple of weeks. Start off with the not good news. Dog's blood test showed kidneys, liver and other stuff as good, but his RBCs are dropping to the point of slightly anemic. If they drop further in the coming month, "It'll be a serious situation" in the words of our vet. His protein, amino acids and albumin were low. The solution, bump up protein, amino acids and albumin (egg whites are pure albumin). We began a regimen of egg whites, a lot of egg whites (2-3EWs x2/day up to 5-6EWs x2/day. I pretty much need to install a chicken coop). But since the HOA would kick us out we're buying EWs in the carton. Much more manageable; some Amino Acid supplement and I'm going to switch his kibble up to some high protein kibble (24% to 36% ought to help). Otherwise I'd be cooking the dog chicken too. I swear, I'm his personal chef now. We were joking with him that he's "high maintenance" now - pill, joint powder, AA juice, egg whites, more protein. He just looked at us with his happy face as if to say "I know" and smiled Dang dog

We spent the weekend in downtown Miami. DH ran the Miami marathon. His first. Also his last. He just wanted to say he did it. And he did. Just over 5hrs. He was on a great pace then he hit mile 19 and just crashed. But he pulled himself through and has the beat up body, tshirt and finisher's medal to prove it. I had to drive us home. He was in no condition lol

While we were at the hotel, we ran into my girlfriend and her sister. It was random coincidence that we figured out they would be in town for the race too. She's one of Chester's biggest fans. So she got to see him. She lost her pup last year when we were in DFW. She is also my friend that I would go out dancing with (remember when we ran into that parking garage pillar in her car??) Good times.

DHs cousin and her son are flying out here to stay with us for a week. We are very excited. I miss them and it'll be great to go explore fun places. They are Chester's second family so I'm happy they can see him again.

Well, I better get going as I have a ton of things to do and running out of time to do them. But wanted to share the goodness with yall.

Have a good week!

I remember her ...I still have that Red Shirt I wore that night out too

Sorry to hear Chester is living the life of luxury...personal chef and entourage......Glad to hear he is hanging in there

Good Morning DTR!
