28317. thoughtful - 12/16/2014 4:06:02 AM So sorry to hear this arky. Very upsetting.
Anyway, I just dropped in to give everyone my best holiday wishes by sharing this year's card and haiku. We got 2 new kittens in June who grace the cover.
Togetherness...Love
Encircles all living things
Bringing contentment
I hope everyone here has a wonderful holiday season, and that the new year brings nothing but health, happiness, prosperity and pleasant surprises. 28318. arkymalarky - 12/16/2014 4:18:03 AM Thoughtful! So great to see you here, and your card so pleasant and pretty! really puts a smile on my face. 28319. judithathome - 12/16/2014 11:51:43 PM Mine, too...being "cat" people now, it is especially touching. Happy holidays to you and yours, Thoughtful, and don't be a stranger! (We have a "tuxedo" kitty, too...!) 28320. wabbit - 12/18/2014 3:31:19 AM Sorry to hear the news Arky. These kinds of things always remind me of Jessica Savitch. I can't tell you how many times I had dinner at Chez Odette and remarked about how dangerous the exit along the canal was. It was fixed years later and now doesn't even look familiar to me. That's a good thing.
And now I have to go next door and beat the crap out of my screeching neighbor who has no idea how much I know about her private life...sigh. 28321. wabbit - 12/18/2014 3:35:52 AM t'ful, what a wonderful card! Any calendar photos? Happy Holidays!
I'm down to one senior feline now, having lost my tuxedo a few months ago. She's at least 16 years old (could be more, but not less), has allergies and doesn't bother cleaning herself like she used to, but she's my pal and is on my lap as soon as I sit. She was feral when I got her, nobody wanted her because she wasn't friendly and didn't want to cuddle. If they could see her now...! 28322. judithathome - 12/18/2014 9:40:30 PM Thoughtful, Love how you shot "black and white" in color!! 28323. judithathome - 12/18/2014 9:41:05 PM Posted too quickly...it's like a Whistler. 28324. judithathome - 12/19/2014 1:01:14 AM And now I have to go next door and beat the crap out of my screeching neighbor who has no idea how much I know about her private life...sigh.
And how did THAT turn out??? ;-) 28325. Ms. No - 12/19/2014 5:08:05 PM So, it's a little early in the day, but I'm firing up the hot tub for any who stop by. Help yourself to a glass of bubbly, as well, and give a toast to absent friends. 28326. arkymalarky - 12/19/2014 6:07:45 PM perfect plan for the day! I'm out for break, and it sounds like a wonderful way to unwind and reminisce. 28327. robertjayb - 12/20/2014 7:22:42 PM Juanita Jean on continuing embarrassing crap at Texas Universities...
Condaleezza Rice a front-runner for University of Texas President:
Well, I guess we could look at it as the Trifecta of NeoCon Bamboozlers.
We have Ken Starr at Baylor and Alberto Gonzales, who should have gone to jail, got a cushy job at Texas Tech.
There is an upside to Rice. Maybe Cheney will help her devise a student discipline plan.
Reminder: When you lay down with dogs ….
28328. robertjayb - 12/20/2014 7:48:11 PM Further from Lone Star academia:
Outgoing governor Rick Perry, he of Oops! fame, yesterday respectfully declined a proposal from Texas A&M regents, all of whom he appointed, to have his name on the school's iconic academic building. Current students and even Aggie former students disapproved mightily. Of course Perry, now sporting serious eyeglasses, wants another presidential tryout and may be warming up as well to lead A&M. 28329. robertjayb - 12/20/2014 8:49:48 PM Now, Arky...serious stuff...like the UT vs. Razorbacks in the Texas Bowl... Up above there somewhere I made Arkansas a 6-point underdog. No gambler me I must have misread the line. Now I believe they are up by 5. As
they should be after whomping Ole Miss.
Nevertheless, I propose a wager. That being a modest feast of the best burgers or barbecue or fried chicken in your vicinity. Winnings to be collected someday. Perhaps in June/July or early October, depending on the time and routes of our Wisconsin travels.
Though an expat, I think, I suppose you would want the hogs.
28330. judithathome - 12/20/2014 10:22:40 PM This is a spectacular gathering of individuals and deserves your time:
Stephen Colbert Bids Farewell To His Show and His Character With Star-Studded Rendition of "We'll Meet Again" 28331. arkymalarky - 12/21/2014 3:30:32 AM Oh yay! I would love that one! I wouldn't even mind losing in that case, except I'm so glad the Razorbacks are doing a decent job.
you're on! 28332. arkymalarky - 12/21/2014 3:31:57 AM Yeah, judith it was a great one and a great ending. I DVR'd it. 28333. arkymalarky - 12/21/2014 3:35:30 AM great run... 28334. wabbit - 12/21/2014 5:22:10 PM JaH, thanks for that, it was a great sign-off.
Happy Winter Solstice to all! 28335. robertjayb - 12/22/2014 7:07:18 PM Thanks, Judith. I enjoyed that. So much so that spouse is being a bit catty about me humming and whistling the tune. She did not care for Colbert at all so he was seldom seen around here. BTW YouTube has quite a selection of Vera Lynn's songs. I prefer the Colbert to the original. It's swingier. Also, I had forgotten that "We'll Meet Again" was the music in Dr. Strangelove where Slim Pickens rode the bomb into oblivion and I presume, WWIII. 28336. robertjayb - 12/22/2014 10:17:03 PM Joe Cocker, dead at 70. Damn. My favorite: his version of Randy Newman's (see Colbert farewell) "You can leave your hat on,"
especially with Kim Basinger's striptease I the movie "9 and 1/2 weeks." Also "Unchain my Heart."
