It sprinkled this morning and with that kind of inclement weather of course both the satellite and power went down. No service on the cell to report the outage, and cordless phones don’t work without power to the base station. So I dug out the old candlestick and plugged it in. Damned if it doesn’t still work. It now sits in the place of honor on my desk.

I don't think I would have opened this thread if someone other than Petite started it.

I am off peeps...just texted back and forth with my neighbor..we are bringing an overnight bag...just in case...we aren't even sure which car or what direction we are going...but we are heading out to see fall color!! Will post later sans emojis ...

Because of all the fans! I’m enjoying some weeknight hockey with my son tonight!

True. But ya still gotta be careful; @petitepedal has quite a bit of sass too!

Tell him it is too big and you can't handle that much.

Things are going so well. I am really inspired. Yoga, good diet, daily exercise. I am doing it. My energy level is through the roof. Yesterday's menu: Smoothie bowl for breakfast: mango, pineapple, blueberries, almond milk and a 1/3 cup of granola with nuts and some chia seeds Veggie fried rice for lunch: Brown rice, carrots, tomatoes, egg, green onion, mushroms, water chesnuts and some pine nuts Snack: a small brownie and one tiny meatball (I am not perfect). Walked by a table with free food for VIPs. I am a VIP, OK. LOL Dinner: steamed beets, 1/2 avocado on a slice of my homemade bread, black beans, 2 mushrooms, 1 potato, 1 green onion, tahini sauce. Dessert: 3 squares of chocolate 78% cocoa.

Yes, at least if he's here it's the wrong crowd that we know instead of some unidentified and unknown wrong crowd.

Dirtyhip just aboot finished it.

We had high winds here today and the neighbor had a huge tree branch break off the tree in his yard and it laying across the roof. So the neighbor is afraid of highths and called me to come over to help. So as a good neighbor I grabbed my ladder and chainsaw and get pepaird to climb up a 2 story house with a chainsaw in high winds. So the first thing the neighbor did when I showed up with my ladder and chainsaw is hand me a beer. I did what any true Wisconsinint would do. .....I knock that sucker back ad processed to climb the ladder with the chainsaw and showed that tree who was the boss.

He probably had something four inches but you wouldn’t want him to measure with that.

A few from the weekend

You're in Texas. I'm sure you know someone who will give him one of these piercings for free.

From the end of a piece of Salmon... OMG I should have said a tad shorter than your cell phone. I commented "that's more than 4 inches"..His reply was they didn't have anything to measure with... What I was hoping for 1/4 pound...what I got..3/4 pound..and I measured 8 inches..

If they have never had sex, it will be the best sex either of them have ever had.

Is this @AirwickWithCheese?

Now add in the copier messages and you can really mess with your cow orkers. I will come up with something for the three hole punch.

Busy here. Priorities

Some random guy just said to me at PT “The way you bounce around it is hard to believe you are sick.” I said “Thank you, that is very kind. Just want to put my best foot forward.” I wanted to say “I’m not sick. I am healthy.” Better to be kind tho. ?

We just threw out two old rotary phones while cleaning out my Mom's apartment. She kept them even though she was using cordless phones because "she had so many good conversations on those phones"

This whole thread was being read as Michael Scott in my mind.

We don't have that many days under 10° and we don't have many days over 90° living close to the lake.

?

And it is on a VW Cabriolet. At least we know what @AirwickWithCheese has been up to.

I wouldn't have opened this thread if it weren't DH who started it!

Got my FIL back home to Bradenton FL late last night and he goes in to rehab tomorrow. Mission accomplished so today we are chilling at his home on the golf course until we head home early tomorrow. Man talk about extremes, in less than 24 hours we went from the arid mountain air of CO to the steamy humid air of the gulf coast of FL!

Just compare the number of pizza shops in this country to the number of green bean shops. Although green beans are very good compared to most other vegetables.

He did. It was a backhand compliment that you kick ass. Take it that way.

She is too busy leaving the severed hand by the paper cutter.

And some wondered why I so enjoyed moving from the gulf coast of Texas to Fort Collins, CO, to attend school.

Just outside of Monroe. We are the speed trap between Athens and Atlanta.

Sounds like he meant it as a compliment even though he didn't say it very well. You handled it graciously.

I think he goes by the handle @Adlago

Is your rocket fueled with methane?

Depends

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh" followed by "The deaf folks are gonna enjoy that one, too."

Drums are more fun

75 is snot too hot if you are not wearing your flannel jammies.

Evidently that’s what the glove makers think too. Not all men are the same size.

A young woman police helicopter pilot had a rough landing one day, bouncing pretty hard. When she deplaned all the ground crew on the pad were laughing and pointing at her. She turned to the crowd and made the usual thumb and index finger indication of a small measurement. Then she said "you'd have troubled judging distances too if all your life you'd been told this was 8 inches."

Here’s the Milano goal from tonight.

usually you ask for 8 and get four-- maybe this is better?

According to @jsharr bigger is better. But apparently not @petitepedal.

Salad, tonight and tomorrow. I need to detox after all the crap I ate over the past week.

He’s got to be in his 70s and looks every day of it.

I'm pretty sure my cat invited himself
