Merde, le mot est lâché. On peut dire beaucoup de choses avec ce mot là.
Merde, Judith! (meaning, figuratively, Break a leg! Oops, bad taste)
Chacun sa merde! each to his own.
et cetera

In spite of my somber mood, you two made me laugh.

Emergency call to Arky,

My computer needs cleaning too. I have a bug. A real one. I walked across the keyboard and up, across and off the monitor screen.

Ooops. Now it has doubled back and seems to be coming for me.

I'm outta here!

Looks like a boll weevil on steroids.

11322. robertjayb - 9/9/2004 5:28:12 AM

A badass bug...just a lookin' for a home...

Robert, I believe you have officially rounded the bend...I mean turned a corner!

11324. Magoseph - 9/9/2004 11:33:19 PM

Perfect sunny day for us today, in the seventies, zephyr breeze, lower humidity, all is well in my world. How about yours?

11325. Ms. No - 9/9/2004 11:44:09 PM

Bonjour, Mags! Comment ça va?

11326. wabbit - 9/9/2004 11:49:58 PM

Here in Boston, it's a beautiful sunny day.

It's looking like my sister will be evacuating the lower Keys for the first time in the 20 odd years she's lived there. We're hoping Ivan will move west like Charley did.

11327. Magoseph - 9/10/2004 12:44:44 AM

Ms. No, ça va beaucoup mieux, merci, et toi?

Wabbit, Flexy's long-standing friends in Florida are packing their bags, never to return to Florida. Their next residence is Arizona.

11328. Magoseph - 9/10/2004 3:13:27 AM

Do you know what a flexitarian is or a pentimento? These two words in the New York Times crossword puzzle today gave me a headache.

Hi Mago, I'm here to chat with the evil yip.


stuffing fingers in ears, I can't hear you, I can't hear you, over on New Thread and Feature Suggestions

Bill Russell. Hi there.
Did you notice Snowowl's comment on New Thread and Feature Suggestions, that if nobody answered, there most likely wasn't any interest in the suggestion?


Did you not get Jenerator's joke about turkeys and you asking about the powers that be, and turkeys are somtimes dumb, and Ms. No joked "Don't make me get out the Shoes of Despair"and mentioned "staggering idiocy".

I thought the 'shop til you drop' might make a discussion, and you came back with 'CHRISTian training'.

Tongue in cheek comment, again.

I sometimes feel very argumentative, too. When I first got to this site I whined about the interface and didn't make friends quickly, either.

11330. Ulgine Barrows - 9/10/2004 1:46:53 PM

And I can still share a six pack amongst my 'friends'


how's that for a one-liner?

11331. prolph - 9/10/2004 4:00:17 PM

This probobly be in escapes but I have't escaped yet.
daughter and I have carefully planned a visit to the Florida Keys. We have made our resrvations, Iv'e got my airline ticket and we are anaticipating a jolly excursion starting February 1.

It may be time to thhink of a plan B. There may be little left to see there.
it's not february yet and no matter what the damned election will be over by then.

11332. judithathome - 9/11/2004 1:02:50 AM

Patsy, I hope they have it cleaned up for you by then!

And Ulgine, you can share my six pack of beer anytime.


Well, about 70 of us showed up to picket the village council and in support of the fired police chief last night and we made the paper...the article referred to us as "mostly senior citzens, some with canes and walkers". heh.

Strangely enough, the quotes from the two new police chief candidates were very nice about all of us being there to support the fired chief. One said it made him feel good to see how much the village supported a chief; he said it was great to see people being positive instead of trying to get someone kicked out.

Someone's posting ugly bug pictures here again...

11334. anomie - 9/11/2004 3:35:08 AM

Judith,

I bet you were great in the sixties. Did you have flower patches on your bell-bottom jeans?

How's the leg pain?

11335. judithathome - 9/11/2004 4:47:53 AM

Anomie, in the early 60s I was a very young (19) suburbanite housewife and I tended to believe everything my husband told me. I was a late bloomer...and later on, I did have flower patches on my bell bottoms. However, during the height of the protests against the war, I was dressed in linen skirts and twin sets...yes, even at home!

My ex-husband was furious when I wore my hair long and wore hip huggers and sandals and went to rock concerts and cheered when Nixon abdicated. He hated it when I didn't listen to him on who to vote for...and that is partly the reason he is my ex.

11336. anomie - 9/11/2004 5:15:25 AM

Judith,

The early sixties were pretty tame, so you probably came along in sequence. I was a little too young to be an Abbie Hoffman, but old enough to be drafted in 1970. Thus, my decision to join the more comfortable of the services - the Air Force. It suits me better now as a civilian, however.

11337. judithathome - 9/11/2004 6:24:08 AM

I have spent part of the day dusting my seashell collection. That sounds like a breeze, but I took all the shells out of the bookcase where they are displayed and cleaned it and the table in front where the collection of really large ones sits, with plants and a bamboo bird cage.

I have a lot of shells. It went pretty quickly, though. The real pains to dust are the corals...I have quite a few large pieces of very delicate coral of different types. However, nothing is as dangerous as the dried and puffed up blow fish. His little "quills" are like razor blades!

11338. anomie - 9/11/2004 6:43:20 AM

Collecting seashells by the seashore...

I collect nothing, BUT...I bought a Caithness paperweight as a gift years ago and couldn't give it away. So I bought another...and then I started browsing and buying and keeping up with the new designs. I'd get special calls from the shop..."The Monet editions are here...".

Processed sand. I'm a sucker for glass.

So now, I'm getting rid of them slowly but surely as gifts. I will keep a few I can't part with, like the very first one.
I'm afraid I'll start buying glass in mass when I get settled. My house will look like a Vanician pimp's crib. Ha!
