tell me something...

[Oldfart]

Spitting rain here in Wisconsin, but nothing significant.

[AZRedHot]

I thought DB had come to AZ to visit me today. I pulled into the parking lot at the grocery store, and the car across the way had a license plate that said "I AM DB" on it. I took a picture, but evidently there is so much crud on the lens of my phone camera that it didn't turn out. :(

[gekkogecko]

My wif'e greenhouse is being super productive: hot peppers, bell pepeprs, tomatoes, green beans, okra, basil, etc, etc, etc.

[Lord Snow]

"Oregano"?

[sodaklostsoul]

Its been a long summer in a short amount of time.

[Oldfart]

The soup is really good in the QANTAS Club at LAX.

[dicksbro]

Can't believe ... my surgery is a week from today and my wife goes back to work the week after that. Where has the summer gone? :(

[Lilith]

It flew by. And I got nothing done.

[gekkogecko]

Yay for getting nothing done.

[Oldfart]

Where has the summer gone? :(

Back to Oz with me.

[PantyFanatic]

Happy landing :thumbs:

[sodaklostsoul]

So my sister decided to clean out the garage, I don't wanna work in the morning now, UGH!!!!!! Taking pain killers and heading to bed.

[Oldfart]

Happy landing :thumbs:

I walked away from it and apparently they can use the plane again.

[dicksbro]

Hey, if you took summer back to Oz with you, OF, how come it's still so hot here? :spin:

[Oldfart]

Warm fall?

[Oldfart]

I just noticed on the "Strange Days" thread that it's 50 years since Norma Jean died.

[AZRedHot]

I never knew before tonight how utterly gorgeous Gregory Peck was. My eyes have been opened.

[dicksbro]

Well, I've got today and tomorrow ... then, I'll be gone for at least 3 or 4 days due to surgery ... and it could be a bit longer depending on how quickly I feel up to sitting and typing. Oh well, I'll be virtually typing some really sexy posts, so be sure and virtually watch for them. :D

[Oldfart]

A virtual certainty.

[PantyFanatic]

I'll see you at the end of the work week. :wave:

[gekkogecko]

Well, I've got today and tomorrow ... then, I'll be gone for at least 3 or 4 days due to surgery ... and it could be a bit longer depending on how quickly I feel up to sitting and typing.


Dude, heal well. And quickly.

[dicksbro]

Dude, heal well. And quickly.
Thanks. I sure hope and intend to. :thumbs: Doc gives me really good odds (99.5% success probability)! :)







Hope he didn't learn how to come up with probabilities from the weathermen. :yikes:


:D

Today's high temperature, 98.6F, with a dew point of 90F; relative humidity, near 100%. There's ingested matter rolling in from the north, and the National Body Service has issued a severe digestion warning for the next hour. This frontal system should produce more bodily mass over the next day or so.

[scotzoidman]

Full frontal?

[kleclere]

Full frontal is always great.

[Lilith]

tomorrow is the day the kids come back to school.

[Oldfart]

A day of opposites, the death of a very funny lady and the living of a grossly unfunny political arse.

[sodaklostsoul]

2nd day of school and I didn't see any police cars looking for speeders. Last year for the first week there was 2 on every street around school. Weird.

They're probably saving their energy for a Pixie invasion next summer. :yikes:

[gekkogecko]

Nah, there's probably all deployed in the schools, looking to cause problems.

[Fangtasia]

I have an appointment with a surgeon on the 28th Sept.

Had a barrage of tests today....7 vials of blood they took, my body fought em all the way too, and i have the needle holes to prove it *LMAO*

[gekkogecko]

Yeah, well, this is what you get for having such a vampire obsession.

[Oldfart]

I wasn't game to ask if they came in pairs.

I found an interesting trilogy at work today. Apparently Anne Rice wrote a Sleeping Beauty trilogy that is definitely not meant for kids and is very different from Grimms'. It said on the package that if you liked the Fifty Shades, you'll like this set.

[Lilith]

It is very different. I read it about 10 years ago. I liked the first one ok but felt while the sex and PE got decisively raunchier as the series moves forwards, the plot was lacking. :p

[AZRedHot]

A lot of sex will do wonders for your general outlook on life. ;)

[Lord Snow]

I had a very productive day. I bought lumber and other supplies for building a shelving unit, then I built the shelving unit. I changed the negative battery cable on the f150 so that it will start every time. Finally I changed out the shower head so that I have better water pressure.

Dang, the ol' weather has turned hot again! :(

[kleclere]

Trying to figure out something for daughter's 16th birthday.

[Oldfart]

Pre-register her to vote in 2016?

[dicksbro]

Is that assuming our country still exists by then? :shrug:

[Oldfart]

US is tougher than that, DB.

A bit more battered maybe, but still strong.

Shadowsfate loaned this series to me in the late 1990's I think, and it was because of Anne's series that started my lust affair with erotic stories. :slurp:
It is very different. I read it about 10 years ago. I liked the first one ok but felt while the sex and PE got decisively raunchier as the series moves forwards, the plot was lacking. :p
Plot lacking, perhaps. Good masturbation material (for me), yes!

[dicksbro]

The weather has suddenly turned cool and wonderful here the past couple of days.

[sodaklostsoul]

I had a fresh glazed donut. :D

[Oldfart]

Hmmmmmmm, a donut with windows?

[sodaklostsoul]

Hmmmmmmm, a donut with windows?
It you mean with hole in middle then yes.


I hate getting hair cuts.

[kleclere]

Hate haircuts also, but wife says way to long.

[AZRedHot]

Raining again here. Every time I think the monsoon is over, it make me a liar.

[Oldfart]

It probably won't get here till Christmas, we have a long, uncomfortable build-up ahead of us. Thank God and Mr Carrier for Air-Con.

[Lord Snow]

Okay, I have a question. What is the term for the traditional manners training that young woman and men go through? I just can't remember and it's bugging me.

[jseal]

Etiquette

[Oldfart]

Bless you.

[Fangtasia]

Im having a GLEEfull day lol

Ahhhh Klaine is awesome, and if they break em up next week i will be majorly pissed!!

[Lord Snow]

Etiquette

No, it's this whole program where they teach all that crap to you. How to dance, pull out chairs, all that stuff. Real popular in Texas.

[Fangtasia]

Ladies were (and still are) sent to Finishing school. Training them in the art of social graces

*note. they can be called Finishing/Etiquette/Charm schools

Training consisted of, but not limited to: Dancing, Manners, How to host a ball/tea/etc, Housekeeping, Cooking,

[Oldfart]

jseal's still pretty close with etiquette. Charm School perhaps.

[Lord Snow]

I don't know. It'll come to me in a week or two and I'll just blurt it out and look like a crazy person.

[sodaklostsoul]

Crap, people are home, can't Pixie no more. Laters!!

[kleclere]

Well definately looking like a split is coming.

[Lord Snow]

Sorry to hear that kleclere. They do suck the worst.

We'll certainly make that our hope, anyway!

[gekkogecko]

Today is the birthday of the mammal I married.

[Oldfart]

Bah, mixed marriages! Next thing we know, you'll be trysting with an amphibian. There would be tears before teatime if you had tear ducts, young fellow.

[Lord Snow]

I made chili. It'll taste even better tomorrow.

[Lilith]

^^^^^truth.

I cooked the lasagna I put together Thursday, today. Garfield would have approved.

[Oldfart]

Spaghetti boll, two days old, fried to finalise the caramelisation. Mmmmmmmm

[Lilith]

STO would have turned 40 this past Tuesday

[Aqua]

Bastard should still be here so we could all celebrate it together.

Happy Birthday, Skip.

*sigh*

[dicksbro]

Skip, whereever you are ... you're not forgotten and like Aqua said, wish you were here so we could celebrate the day together.

[Oldfart]

Yup.

[Lilith]

STO would have turned 40 this past Tuesday

And tomorrow Heidi would have been 1 and Thursday my daughter would have been 17.

I fucking hate these 2 weeks.

[Oldfart]

How are you coping with Sandy?

[Lilith]

Trying to distract me from wallowing in misery with your sexy hurricane talk???? No sign of her here. It is a beautiful cloudy fall day. I am going to go watch marching bands perform all day. x

[Oldfart]

Damn, but it was a good try.

[dicksbro]

They have marching bands performing in hurricanes? I bet the time just flies by ... along with the bands.




:D

[Lilith]

It was quite the day for all the flag girls.

[PantyFanatic]

I can still celebrate................. rather than morn. :cool:

[Oldfart]

Jeez that storm's predicted to go close to Baltimore.

Bunker down jseal.

[gekkogecko]

Local (county) bus completely cancelled service for today. Not getting to tmy regular rehabbing job.

Early voting cancelled for today & tomorrow.

Will have to end up working Wednesday, Thursday & Friday at early voting, provided they can open (my particular center has a back-up generator, so we will probably be able to do that).

[Lilith]

WI has lost power already.

[Oldfart]

Wild Irish or the West indies?

[jseal]

Jeez that storm's predicted to go close to Baltimore.

Bunker down jseal.
Yeah, B'more has basically closed down. Fortunately I make my coffee with distilled water, so we should be OK there. The food situation is good also, and we store my BIL’s TPN supplies in a separate mini-fridge. So, barring an extended power outage, we should be able to get along if we must.

The burbs might have a tough time of it, what with downed power lines, etc.

[Oldfart]

It'll be a good test of the brickwork.

Save power for Pixies posts.

[sodaklostsoul]

WI has lost power already.
Aww, I miss him!!

[gekkogecko]

We lost power for a couple of hours, with numerous flickers before & afterwards. The rain is down to mere drizzle at this point, with little to no wind. Not too horrible in my neck of the woods, although the road in & out of my household I usually use was closed for a while due to flooding.

[jseal]

It'll be a good test of the brickwork.

Save power for Pixies posts.
It WAS a bit blustery at times!

[WildIrish]

Tis true...I'm powerless.

Thank goodness for work! :p

[Lilith]

Tis true...I'm powerless.


:coffee: :sun: :loveshowe

[dicksbro]

Cool and windy here, yesterday, although we did have sunshine and that helped. :boink:

[gekkogecko]

It's actually gotten late October-cold, as it should have been about two weeks ago.

[WildIrish]

We have electricity in 7 out of 10 properties...including home! Sweet!

Thanks again for thinking of me!

[Lilith]

Pity. I like you powerless. As long as you still have phone battery. ;)

It's been like forever since I've been on Pixies and only a second to make me realize how much I've missed ya'll. :love:

[jay-t]

Last nite all the kids were trick or treating ,and with 5 grandkids under 10 had a good time .Until I explained about the once a year 30% candy tax payable to papa. Seems they never heard about it.Finially they gave me 1 snickers bar.Got to teach them civic duty a little better I guess..

[Oldfart]

It's been like forever since I've been on Pixies and only a second to make me realize how much I've missed ya'll. :love:

It's a two way street, Tess. We missed you too.

It's always so special to see Pixies come back home for a visit! :thumbs:

[PantyFanatic]

It's just past noon and I've had 7, SEVEN automated phone calls from political entities that exempted themselves from the Do Not Call list. If the many, MANY, MANY…. BILLIONS of dollars spent the last two years in all levels of direct political campaigning (not to consider the incalculable indirect cost) was applied to the national debt, would there be one? :confused:

[Lord Snow]

Yes there would still be a debt. We give the government one dollar and they spend ten trying to figure out how to spend that one dollar.

My portfolio was passed. :)

[jay-t]

Killed me but I'll graduate on Saturday which will ease the pain.

[dicksbro]

We're happy for you, Lilith! Congratulations!

If I had a dollar for every time that I was told to grow up! I could build an awesome tree house!

[dicksbro]

And it you ^^^^ did what they said they comment on how old you've become. Stick with the grow up comment! :D

[imaginewithme]

The baby I had when I was here all the time is almost 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. Time flies.

There's even been some really great ones from Australia! :D

[Oldfart]

Sharni? I agree totally.

Certainly, alanna-rose.

[Lord Snow]

My g/f and I got a dog today. It's a little dachshund mix.

[dicksbro]

We're going to celebrate our daughter's birthday this evening although her actual birthday isn't until Monday.

Stretching it out hoping for more presents, is she? :)

Putting a dachshund in the mixer is never a good thing.

You blend ninjas?

[Lord Snow]

It's the brand. Has little ninjas with razor sharp swords to slice everything up.

[Oldfart]

We get those annoying advertisements as well.

I enjoyed a good baseball game last night. :)

[Oldfart]

Hey jseal, GG.

It looks like ALF brought some friends, or we've found some living fossils.

http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2014/09/04/4079443.htm

A mushroom-shaped animal that defies current classification systems has been found living in the dark depths of the Tasman Sea.

The animal could be a 'living fossil' from the pre-Cambrian period but further studies would be needed to confirm this, say the researchers in the journal PLOS ONE.

"We've basically discovered an animal which we cannot place in the current animal system that science operates with," says lead author Dr Jean Just of the Natural History Museum of Denmark.

Just and colleagues found the new organism, called Dendrogramma, while analysing organisms collected at depths of 400 and 1000 metres on the south-east Australian continental slope, east of Bass Strait.

It is about 1.5 centimetres tall, a little over 1 centimetre wide and shaped like a mushroom.

The animal has a dense layer of jelly-like material between its outer skin and inner stomach cell layers.

And it has a combined mouth and anus in its 'stalk', that Just and colleagues suspect points down into the ocean floor sediments.

From the several specimens collected, two new species were identified in a new genus, Dendrogramma enigmatica and Dendrogramma discoides, in the new family, Dendrogrammatidae.

The researchers say Dendrogramma may be related to members of the Cnidaria (jellyfish) group of animals or another primitive group called Ctenophora.

But the Dendrogramma lacks the stinging cells that define Cnidaria and the tentacles that define Ctenophora, says Just.

Living fossil?
The newly-discovered creature has similarities to extinct life forms from the Ediacaran period, 540 to 580 million years before the present, the researchers found.

They point to branches in the digestive system, that give Dendrogramma its name, and which are visible in the 'disc' of the mushroom shape.

Just says it's a "long shot" but Dendrogramma could be a descendent of pre-Cambrian life, although molecular studies are needed to provide more definitive answers on its relationship to the tree of life.

Australian palaeontologist Dr Jim Gehling from the South Australian Museum agrees.

"It is a pity that the molecular affinities of Dendrogramma cannot be determined until new specimens are collected, due to the initial preservation in formalin that damaged the nucleic acids of these organisms," he says.

Gehling says while there are interesting similarities between Dendrogramma and some Ediacara fossils there are also significant differences.

"Many weird Ediacaran forms remain a biological mystery. Some of these defy comparison with animals or plants that populate both ancient and modern marine settings," he says.

"The tiny mushroom-shaped Dendrogramma species share some patterns familiar in the so-called Trilobozoans of Ediacara," says Gehling.

"Unfortunately, biological body patterns are often repeated in unrelated organisms if only because there are limited ways of maximising surface area within body spaces."

However, gathering fresh specimens for molecular studies won't be easy.

"A thousand metres is a long way down and to hit the right spot can take a long time," says Just.

[dicksbro]

A combined mouth and anus in it's stalk ... :yikes:

I wonder if there's any aftertaste? Ewwww.

[jseal]

Oldfart,

Yes, it’s rare for a new animal to form a new phylum. It’s interesting to note though that Dendrogramma’s resemblance to several long (thought) gone Ediacaran lifeforms raises the possibility that we have a living representative of a Precambrian community. Of course, the appearance could be a coincidence. Convergent evolution is not uncommon. When other samples become available for DNA analysis we’ll be better able to make that distinction.

The discovery reminds me again of how much of Earth still waits to be explored.

[BIBI]

I am off to go to the park with my dog for a walk......have a great day everyone!

"The history of cake dates back to ancient times. The first cakes were very different from what we eat today. They were more bread-like and sweetened with honey. Nuts and dried fruits were often added. According to the food historians, the ancient Egyptians were the first culture to show evidence of advanced baking skills. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the English word cake back to the 13th century. It is a derivation of 'kaka', an Old Norse word. Medieval European bakers often made fruitcakes and gingerbread. These foods could last for many months. "

Excerpted from: http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcakes.html

[Lord Snow]

Is that the reason that most fruit cake can double as a doorstop?

[Oldfart]

No, that's the job of a rock cake. Fruitcakes keep the world interesting.

[Lord Snow]

What's a rock cake?

[Oldfart]

Something between a cake and a (cookie) biscuit, slightly sweet, a little crumbly, often eaten with butter and jam. A sprinkle of sugar before baking gives it a faint crust. Volcano shaped, not a scone. It's a mid-afternoon break kind of thing. Some are heavier than others, with really heavy ones living up to their name. About 5 inches across. I think they're a Scots thing, but no hint of shortbread.

Google/Wiki has pictures and references.

[Lord Snow]

Do you have a recipe you'd recommend?

[Oldfart]

Wiki's looks fine.

I spent some time in a boys' dorm and caught something.

I was actually productive last night. My g/f and I signed up our puppy for training, did part of the grocery shopping, I cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed and shampooed the living room, bought and potted some ivy, did the dishes, and laundry. Now tonight all we have to do is finish the grocery shopping and chill.

oh to be young again lol :faint:
Just about ready for a nap after reading about all that activity!

[Lord Snow]

Bibi, I've always been one of those people that uses one day off to do house work, so I can play the next. Now it's just I'm on a night schedule instead of a day.

[Oldfart]

Yup. Zzzzzzzz. Wake me when it's time to go to bed.

[dicksbro]

Aching for a bunch of yard work I did yesterday. :(

[BIBI]

It's raining and that sucks...have to cancel my plans :tear:

[Lord Snow]

Just change the plans to cuddling while watching a movie.

[dicksbro]

Having a hard time getting to sleep tonight. Hopefully, I'll post a little bit and get tired enough I can conk out for a bit.

[BIBI]

I am going out for dinner tonight with...................a pixie

[Oldfart]

Where are we going? Jeez I wish you'd give me a bit more notice.

[BIBI]

Oh we went to Kelsey's and we had nice sirloin steaks and great conversation too....oops not you OF.....another pixies man!

He's coming back in about three weeks....want to join us OF? Is that enough notice? ;)

[dicksbro]

By-the-way, what's happened to PF? Doesn't he like us anymore? :(

[gekkogecko]

I sold him to the Gypsies.

[Lilith]

OK BiBi spill...

[Lord Snow]

I swear it wasn't me Lil......Dammit.

I found a lost dog this morning. Collar with no tags. Now I have to wait for the office to open in order to find out if he's a tenant's or from one of the surrounding neighborhoods.

[Lord Snow]

Turns out the lost dog was from about a mile or two away. He's just lucky he was micro chipped.

[Oldfart]

Yes he is very busy, but we did have a lovely visit here on Thursday! :irish:

What! You said lovely and wonderful. That does not equal the old man.

[BIBI]

What! You said lovely and wonderful. That does not equal the old man.

It does if he likes you......lmao :wine:

[Lilith]

So exactly what is happening? I am just going to assume he is a fanatic of your panties if you don't give us more details.

[dicksbro]

I'm just glad to know he's okay. :boink:

[gekkogecko]

And I'm willing to bet that Bibi was hoping that he's more than "just OK".

[BIBI]

So exactly what is happening? I am just going to assume he is a fanatic of your panties if you don't give us more details.

LOL.....assume away Lilith ;)

Really though, when has PF not been a fanatic of panties lol

Lets Go Os!

[dicksbro]

Not to change the subject, but, I think our summer is over. We've now had several days with lows in the upper 30s or low 40s and highs in the 60s. Kind of chilly.

[Oldfart]

Summer? They are worse than any winter here.

[dicksbro]

Summer? They are worse than any winter here.
I know, when we get a heavy snow and the temps fall to near 0F, I send you a PM so you can come over and help shovel in our beautiful non-summer weather. :D

JK

[Oldfart]

and the temps fall to near 0F

With all this stuff falling, aimed at me, you wonder why I take my time?

[Lilith]

To o much tequils

[BIBI]

I am going to tell you about how proud I am of my 18 year old grandson who today, after working for an electrician as a co-op student and then as a fulltime helper since graduation has been signed up to be their new apprentice.

Yeah for Zac! :thumbs:

I think today will be a bit warmer and so maybe I'll get the car washed. Poor thing is feeling neglected but the cold and rains have made washing it kind of a bad idea recently.

Interstellar is a satisfying Science Fiction film I can recommend. It has two plotlines, one a Love Story, one a Hero's Tale, which resolve at the end. It's the Hero's Tale that rides the parallel lines of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Theory, and that's the base, Science Fiction story line. There are few physical violations for the purist to whine about.

[Oldfart]

It's on my list.

I am half in the bag from enjoying a few pina coladas :tongue:

[Oldfart]

Hey, that's my quote. :)

[dicksbro]

We just had our first snow of the season. Wasn't much to talk about ... maybe half an inch ... but it was covering the streets and some grassy areas. Pretty much gone by yesterday afternoon. But, that's number 1. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

We had a few wet flakes (the kind that fall from the sky, not the kind that walk around, we've had enough of those forever) last night, but nothing noticeable.

[BIBI]

no snow yet..... :p

[dicksbro]

Expecting maybe another inch or so either this afternoon or tomorrow.

[Lord Snow]

No snow in my area, but it's fallen to 22 F.

[BIBI]

I have lots to do and no ambition to start any of it...............guess another coffee is in order. :coffee:

[dicksbro]

Sounds like a good idea, BIBI. Ended up, we didn't get the snow. You probably already figured how sad I was not to have go out and shovel the drive. Right? :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

No, DB, your ultimate ambition is to go out and shovel Bibi's drive after a heavy snowfall.

[BIBI]

BIBI doesn't have a driveway to shovel anymore, sold my house (thank goodness) Underground parking is wonderful in winter..... :tongue:

[dicksbro]

Well, we got our snow yesterday ... less than or close to an inch. Nothing exciting. No shoveling required. :)

[Lord Snow]

We're having "snow". It doesn't stick the snow, it barely sticks to the grass, and it's barely enough to be a problem except people can't drive if there is a cloud in the sky.

[BIBI]

The snow is here too, but nothing to worry about....yet ;)

[gigi]

No snow on the ground here, but it will be 14 degrees when I leave for work tomorrow morning while feeling like -2. BRRRRRR!!!!

:yikes:

[jay-t]

We got 3inches of snow yesterday most of it is gone now. But it was fun driving25mi. to work when everyone on the road forgot how to drive on it :box:

[Lilith]

Im hoping for 8 inches ;)

[BIBI]

Im hoping for 8 inches ;)


Me too Lilith....... :thumbs:

Been super-busy lately, with a friend's father's funeral, another friend dying, and trying to get this: http://chessiecon.org/ together.

[Lord Snow]

I have been awake for 21 hours. I have made 2 apple pies (from scratch). One just put in the oven and the other is already cool and wrapped up for tomorrow.

[dicksbro]

Had a great time yesterday ... good food and just a nice day all around. Today, I think we're going to a movie. :)

[Lilith]

Rabbit is a happy man tonight

[Oldfart]

Because?

Aha.

[gigi]

My mom and I just bagged the homemade turkey soup for some pizza and wings. We both decided we were over it.

[dicksbro]

Wings ... now that sounds good ... and, at this early hour (almost 1AM), I'm not really sure why. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

So, one of my programming ideas for the con went like this:

Talked to PF yesterday on the phone. He's been one busy feller. No problems, just busy.

[Lord Snow]

I have to tell two things.

Number one (and most important): Today is Lilith's birthday!

Number two: I got my oscar cichlid and pictus cat fish today. So far so good.

[Lilith]

We had a tank of cichlids we loved

[Lord Snow]

I had an oscar when I was in high school. Unfortunately, he jumped out of the tank in the middle of the night. I'm hoping my new guy doesn't do something similar. Currently the two fish seem to be doing quite well. The pictus adjusted quite quickly, but the oscar hasn't gotten his color back just yet. He doesn't appear to be stressed, he's just bland in color.

[Lilith]

I have Cory catfish. We started with 2 but have 5 now.

[gekkogecko]

Grrr, the finances from Chessiecon are being a pain, mainly because the freakin' hotel won't give us an actual finalized bill.

[BIBI]

I'm going to tell you that.......I know where PF is :brows:

[gigi]

I can tell you...I'm curious.. :)

[dicksbro]

I talked him last week and I where he is, too. :)
