Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
FYI: There were NINETY SEVEN comments posted yesterday, most of which occurred after I went to bed. This has GOT to stop, people!!!! Itās gonna take me all morning now to catch up! I am so-o-o-o missing this nightly party and I am feeling really left out. And, to top it off, I missed the super moon last night! I reminded everyone elseā¦.and I forgot!!!
but now the days grow short. Iām in the autumn of the yearand now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegsfrom the brim to the dregs and it poured sweet and clearit was a very good year
Oh my! I donāt know if Iām up for such a heart wrenching scene! Fergus, mom will get her going shortly, and then your job is going to really get tough!
Iām just checking in because I promised I would and to let you know that, no, I havenāt fallen off of the ladderā¦..yet. Iām still in the midst of painting the ceilings and boy! did I hurt last night after I finished for the day. My neck and shoulders just felt strained and I ached.
Not used to the back and forth over my head with the roller or paint brush and my muscles were asking me "What are you THINKING! āHush upā I told them, I have to finish what I started so just get used to it until Iām done.
Iām behind schedule. Picked up the paint yesterday morning and that means a 15 mile one way trip to Ace Hardware. Got home, opened the can, thought āHmmmm, that looks a little more yellow thatn it shouldā, but started to apply it. I thought maybe after it dries it wouldnāt look quite so yellowish. Nope, still yellow after it dried. Fortunately it was in my closet so it wasnāt a really big deal but I didnāt want to use it in the rest of the house.
Back to the paint store to tell them they didnāt get the color to match the paint chip sample that I had picked out. That meant I had to clean up, change clothes and try to get myself to look reasonably āput togetherā as my mom used to say. Had to wait for 30 minutes for the paint mixer person to get back to mix another can (this time they got it right) and I drove home to begin another round.
Back to work! Have a happy stress free Sunday All! StelBel, Dry, Sugie, Citizen GROG, Cleokaya, Lonewolf, x_Tech, JP Steve, Greg Trail, Saucy 1121, noicant, Nighthawks, Shikamoo, chefwonderoo, Jkissmya, mightaswellbe, IMudd, serenaskitty, Lingee Whiz, Peabody-Martini and ā¦..Hey! ALL you guys!
StelBel, as I posted last night I think, and as Lingee Whiz said, nothing special really! I was expecting one like I saw last year, took up the WHOLE SKY when it rose. This was just a bigger full moon, high in the sky. Quite a letdown!
Good afternoon to all you lounging and working CD kids on this fine Sunday. Just got finished unpacking and cleaning up after the little manās first campout. We went with the boy scouts and had loads of fun. They got to play in the Big River, see Missouriās largest petroglyphs site and got to be crazy little boys for the weekend. The only down side was It took till about 2 am to finally cool down. I knew we were in trouble when it was 71 Sat. morning at 7am with 93% humidity. We were sweaty messes just packing up the car to go camping. I kept thinking this canāt be the beginning of May. Oh well thatās life in global warming I guess. Off to tend my sunburn now, the Aloe is calling my name..@StelBel The moon really wasnāt as big as I was expecting. It looked slightly larger, but not as super as in the past.
Dry, I commented on your reclining cat last night!Grog I replied to you about the party animal.StelBel I replied to you too many times to count. noicant, thank you for your kind words last night. I replied.
Shika, if Iām lucky I get 7 hours between the waking moments. Very often I will only get 3 hours on week days, so I tend to try to compensate on the weekends.
StelBel always read the Buckets, but not the comments all the time, guess I better go check! GEEZ WOMAN IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIME! Would look for an appropriate LOL emoticon, but not time, so this will have to do: LOL!
I saw the moon at about 4:30 this morning. It didnāt look that big to me either. I remember some big moons when I was living in Montreal. And some big sunrises when living in Edmonton.
Jkissmya, One of the best weather days I ever had was in Baltimore, we went there on vacation so my oldest could attend Otacon, an Anime convention held at Baltimoreās Inner Harbor, the largest Anime convention in the US. It was 80 degrees at 10 am, cloudy and overcast, humid, I LOVED THAT WEATHER! It was a fun trip for the family, and like I said, that was my kind of weather! We then went to Camden Yards, and of course everything at the Inner Harbor and Fells Point! Of course that Saturday, the day it was 80 at 10 AM, later in the afternoon, What thunderstorms! Beautiful lightening strikes over the Harbor! Dangerous I know, but beautiful none the less!
Yeah, yeah, that must be it. It had me scratching my head. That was a little too early in the morning for me to remember ā unless it was really clever. Then of course thereād be no memory at all.
The Buckets is a comic strip. Thatās the full name of it. About a family namedā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..the Buckets!! Good one! Anyway, read the first two comments of today. Beviak , then me.
Exactly my point, Shika. I get up a little after 4 in the morning, read a few comics and get ready for work. When I leave, the traffic is almost as bad as 8 AM. But at least it gets me in to work in 35 minutes. If I waited until 6:30-7 it might be closer to 7. But I have a feeling the maniacs are out earlier.
āStelBel always read the Buckets, but not the comments all the time, guess I better go check! GEEZ WOMAN IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIME! Would look for an appropriate LOL emoticon, but not time, so this will have to do:LOL!āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..IS there an appropriate emoticon??? Canāt think of what it would be. What would the search perameters be? lolBut, youāre right! It IS past my bedtime, and as soon as this last game loads up, Iāll be headed to bed (after checking the sky one more time.)
4 a.m.? Weeellā¦.noā¦.I may wake up at 4 a.m., 5 a.m., 6 a.m., but get up?? You must be out of your cotton picking mind! lol So whatās your point, lol
āYep!āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Yep! ā¦ā¦what? Iām so confused. I can see now that I canāt keep up with this fast-paced night life here!!! LOL
OK, I canāt even find the moon in the sky! What gives? The stars are out, so itās not like itās overcastā¦ I give up. I just wasnāt destined to see this, and like everyone else, Iād probably be disappointed anyway.
@ Shika I know! What gives? Weāve got a few clouds, but I can see stars! NO MOON!!! Iām out on Main St in my PJās looking up in the sky like a crazy lady andā¦.NO MOON!
as I said, ācrazy ladyā !!!!! LOL Ernie thinks Iām crazy because I have the mistaken perception that as long as Iām on our property, no one can see me (or should be looking!). How crazy is that?
Do you really have to leave āthareā at 7 AM Shika? Poor you! Iām not sure but I may have a morning meeting scheduled for that time. I better make sure I get in extra early!
And with that, Iād say itās time for Groggy to tucky-uppy
redid the pickup, and cleared and cleaned the back and side yards. i hurtā¦i may be doing another ālazyā day again tomarow. the way things are going i may be back in shape before the next three weeks are over.
Manā¦I spemt the day outside because we had the first full day of sunshine in weeks and I come back to an a avalanche of posts. I am happy to see you all have been enjoying the day.
