Yeah, we’ve been thinking the same idea. This fall? Pigeon Forge?

Maybe rent a big old whoppin house on Airbnb or Verbo.

Post a bond.


Take out some Inshornce.

Thank you for the Morning Memes, OM
I am almost never conscious that early, but I enjoy them just as much when I get caught up.
Did my adulting yesterday... hel-LO Sunday

I hate feeling nauseated. I hate, even more, throwing up!

Girl, same!

It was even cooler today. High was 66.

My sixties are slipping away

Duly noted and appreciated!
I have to take my share of the blame, as it was my fault for "stacking" waaaaay to many OTC meds which contained them.

Glad you're more aware now.
Most OTC with acetaminophen have warnings for just that reason. Mix-N-Match dosing resulting in that stacking which can have devastating results.

But if we can't judge...what are we?

Trick question? Pop Quiz?
So unfair for a Sunday (well, any day ending in y really)

Oooh! Wat is kicking weasels and taking NO names!

New consulting business just dropped!

You KNEW this was going to happen, H! She's just letting you think you're winning. When you get all relaxed and let down your guard, she's coming for you like a rolled up newspaper after a fly!

Thanks OM for the Sunday morning grins

Yes - thank you for your meme work

He would most likely mumble something none of us would understand...

Heartfelt Congratulations to all you fine Patrons/Spooners, on passing the 2,500 page threshold!!!
It truly is a fine establishment you've created here!

oooh, I blinked and missed it... eyes wide open for the 3k post

I totally did this today!

I was showing my daughter the Polish American Club in whitehouse NJ where I promoted a punk rock show in 1985. (Agnostic Front and some band from Chicago who I don’t remember).

Anyway, I went up Kosciusko rd and promptly ended up somewhere where I didn’t think I’d be.

Then I had to use Google. PULASKI RD, that’s where the Polish American club was. I was only about 4 miles off.

So glad I gave this a listen
Had song and artist mixed up... was even better than expected

A lit together..... I stole that from someone....wat? Wonderer? Hmm

I bet this group of Spooners, could get together and throw one helluva Potluck!!!
We should consider doing that sometime!

Yeah, we’ve been thinking the same idea. This fall? Pigeon Forge?
Maybe rent a big old whoppin house on Airbnb or Verbo.

I am in

If at all possible, I'd LOVE to!

Check your calendars, Cafe Denizens... looks like @Missk_2022 and @Boat1 are making arrangements for a Lit-together... complete with Pot Luck

We need to know when you are landslide for when planning gets started... I am sure that picking the date will be the hardest

They used to drop in town from time to time but haven’t seen them since before the lockdowns. It’s one hell of a party when they do!

Umm om going to litmo?

 

[Missk_2022]

I just looked in pigeon forge and durrounding areas... 2500 to 3500 for a week... sat to sat.... we may need to do shorter.. depends on how people feel... but split up won't break the bank especially for those who will need to fly out...

 

[Boat1]

What a lovely memory you have from that night.

Yes! OMG - I love the scene more out of hair washing envy than anything else. It looks like he really gives her a good head scrubbing! (Not an euphemism!! )

I'm related to a few... mostly by marriage (sibling's)... but a couple by blood.

My last employer did that with me... dang near broke me. Swing shifts, back2back, double, turnarounds, split shifts... I ditched for that (and other reasons) and have been 1st shift ever since. Much better. I admire people who can consistently work the other 2 shifts or, like you, @Boat1, can work any shift in any order at any time.
Either I'm not built that way or I seriously burned out that cylinder a long time ago.

Good initiative
Nice pic!

Oh! You mean the one from Aug. 31, 2024?
That photo?

Glad you got better sleep last night, B2.
AND a proper diagnosis - key to proper treatment

When I am absolutely positive I know the answer -
That's when I either STFU or ask a question.
It's the Universe's way of flagging me that I couldn't be more wrong.

My mom and aunties grew up with fried SPAM (WWII babies). I remember a summer visit w/ my aunties. I think it was movie night and SPAM was in a scene. They chattered on about it after the movie. So I stopped on my way over the next day and bought a small can and some Ritz crackers.
That poor can didn't stand a chance. They made short work of it - but also made sure to let me know that 1 small can was enough.
That was a very fun memory.

Heck yeah!!



Sometimes change is good... signifies new life and vitality. That they requested your CV before anything was posted is a good sign in my book. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

So glad the birthday party was a win!
Love a good deep dive into books

that's a sexy iris!

Nice inclusivity... thinking of you here, @Boat1

I lost count on the number of looks I gave this one before it clicked for me

Quiet now - I'm quite enjoying summer days in the 60s F and cloudy, rainy skies

Just clued in that you're working nights. Hope you had a good shift and are sleeping soundly

I slept like a baby... for about 2½ hours.

My last employer did that with me... dang near broke me. Swing shifts, back2back, double, turnarounds, split shifts... I ditched for that (and other reasons) and have been 1st shift ever since.

That's tough, I know!
In my youth, I did factory work on a "3rd, 2nd, 1st" rotating schedule...
everyone hated graveyard, I hated rotating, so I took advantage of it and offered to stay on graveyard full time, freeing two others to avoid it.
Management jumped on it...

We ought to be able to find us a nice double wide a few miles out town.


It may have a touch of Meth Lab smell about it, but someone can get there a day early and air the place out.

OMG, Boat! That's about a week's worth of food for me!
