Hard to believe that John McCain said that !
19498. Magoseph - 5/28/2006 10:30:48 AM And good morning to all--Any interesting plans for this weekend? Here, doing nothing at all, except eat, sleep, and cuddle. 19499. judithathome - 5/28/2006 2:29:03 PM Malibu is coming for breakfast...and then Keoni and I are going this afternoon for a BBQ at our neighbor's pool...he is great at turning out masterpieces from the grill. No swimming today for the grownups, though...too many grandkids in the water because pool guy has his kids and their kids visiting.
In fact, Keoni made a big tray of biscuits and a pan of gravy for that gang and took them down there earlier this morning. Luckily for Malibu and me, he saved back a few for us!
19500. arkymalarky - 5/28/2006 4:23:07 PM Oh my! Keoni biscuits and gravy. Sounds like a great day for everyone all around.
We're going on a country drive today and otherwise staying home. I just filled out my summer calendar, and since the whole month of June is booked this is going to be a laid-back, house-focused week for me. I have to work a couple of hours Tuesday at school and I'm hoping to spend the rest of the week getting my house in order with Mose's help. 19501. arkymalarky - 5/28/2006 4:23:52 PM Hey, a semilennial. 19502. alistairconnor - 5/29/2006 10:35:13 AM iiibbb : I guess it's all over bar the shouting (!)
So here's to weddings without shotguns, and many happy anniversaries!
I think it's important to do it in front of people.
Well, whatever turns you on... 19503. RickNelson - 5/29/2006 1:28:46 PM Congrats iiibbb! 19504. Magoseph - 5/30/2006 2:12:13 PM Hello, dear Moties, how are you?
Judith, how was the pool party?
Arky, did you see anything interesting on your country drive?
iiibbb, you must tell us something about the bachelor's party, please.
Ali, how did your Venice’s trip go?
19505. jexster - 5/30/2006 4:29:41 PM Ola Mago..yea i3's BP WAS HOT!! I jumped out of a cake naked! Then did a Brokeback routine complete with 30/30 rifle shot at an Elk.
NAILED HIM
AWESOME 19506. jexster - 5/30/2006 4:31:39 PM Dick's Thought for the Day
Some have said they broke the mold after I was made.
Thank Heavens I got made! 19507. alistairconnor - 5/30/2006 5:12:15 PM Venice was still there.
I will file a report shortly. 19508. jexster - 5/30/2006 6:31:04 PM Stayed at the Royal Danelli did you? I remember it well - Venice that is..10 y.o. with grandfather. Nice hotel just off St. Mark's Sq. Could see the side of the Cathedral just out the room window/
Murano, Burano, Torcello, lotsa gelato, getting lost in the narrows of back canals, climbed the Campanile three times..was juiced on campanille climbing in those days for some reason now lost 19509. arkymalarky - 5/30/2006 9:12:04 PM Arky, did you see anything interesting on your country drive?
Thanks for asking, Mags. We didn't go anywhere new, so nothing stands out as interesting, but it was all very pleasant. We drive much of the same route 185 days a year--Bob his part and I mine. Mine's much better because Bob's is interstate. I showed Bob my classroom and we went to his classroom, and we had a great small-town lunch buffet, which is like the best of Southern holiday family potluck, and stuffed ourselves to the gills. As heathens we beat the church crowd and nothing was cold or picked over.
We used to drive a lot of weekends, but we got busy and gas got high and we never do it now. Old couples still drive by our house on weekends, though, so apparently it's still a common activity out here.
Today was my last day at work and we had a fish fry. It was also great.
19510. webfeet - 5/31/2006 5:43:27 AM Opposite the hotel where jexster stayed with his grandfather, there's a cafe the size of a ballroom just in front of st. mark's square where musicians play in the late afternoon sunlight..filthiest toilet I'd ever encountered in my life.
Lido beach..isn't that where you stayed? I remember it notjust for the muddy sand and striped beach tents, but this boy building not a sandcastle, but sculpting titties out of sand. big, huge, felliniqesque knockers. It was unreal.
well, come on, we're waiting for your carnet de venice. 19511. webfeet - 5/31/2006 5:48:23 AM What was your fish fry, arky? I have just started barbecuing fish chez mes parents out in the wing dings of suburbia, and I'm open to suggestion.
The fish guy in their supermarket, a culinary student no less, told me to marinate fish in italian salad dressing.
I actually did this with swordfish once and it was terrific. Although feeling that was too easy an opt, I added lemon, red onions and fresh herbs/
But the words 'fish fry' have always had a peculiar, insider mystery to me.
19512. webfeet - 5/31/2006 5:51:37 AM I celebrated my daughter's birthday at her pre-school todayand I got in trouble with the director for taking photos!
I was apparently violating everybody's 'privacy'. I had no idea. Here I was with my Strawberry Shortcake napkins and party horns, and i didn't even fucking know!
Ah, but I am so misunderstood. 19513. webfeet - 5/31/2006 5:58:25 AM Madame de Merteuil, my daughter who is three, really loved the picture of your pooch. 19514. arkymalarky - 5/31/2006 6:28:27 AM It was just the standard Southern catfish fry with cornmeal breaded catfish, hushpuppies, slaw, and potluck side dishes and desserts--Mississippi mudcake and such.

Criminy. They just don't let y'all have any fun. 90% of the parents would be in trouble in every school event around here. Of course it's also entirely possible that around here the director wouldn't survive having a camera surgically removed from his ass. Parents here don't play when someone tries to come between their kid and their camera.
