weird monkey

No, but sometimes I am a crab and don't realize it at the time. Even if someone points it out, I'm like, No I'm Not!

:044:

Politics and republicans don't mix.

Glad you got your PCs, your persistence paid off. He could have made that offer in the first place though, after he saw your paperwork from the other store, instead of leading you off on a song and dance. Guess he finally figured out you'd walk out the door, if he couldn't match your price on the original machines. Me? I just need to get something done today. Seems like I have just been futzing around so far.

True Friendship is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth. Thanks for the laffs Nurk!

Burn them. My friend Fred makes prosperity candles for me. I ran out in January, and because we were both sick, didn't get a new batch until last week. What's weird is that when I was out of candles, a friend who was supposed to introduce me to a musician who represents one of the guitars I had painted, had also been sick, so we missed the guitarist' show at McCabe's in late January (and the introduction). Since I have lit the new ones last week, this has happened: He said he was back on his feet and had emailed the picture to the guy and his manager. The musician guy emailed back that he is on a cruise in the Carribbean, but will download the picture as soon as he gets back. He has also did the score for a major movie coming out on the 24th. Must keep those candles burning! Must keep painting!

Thai, because when the monks have an open house, almost everyone is Thai, so they bring native dishes - the variety is incredible! Like one fellow said last week, in a restaurant you would only get one or two entrees, here you get over a dozen! Indian is a close second because Joshua Tree has a restaurant with great food, even though the service pretty terrible. Last time we were there, we waited 30 minutes for a table, and the grl who was bussing tables, was told to clear one off. There was only one empty one to clear, but she went to a table of 6 who were just finishing up, and told them they had to leave so she could clear theirs!:eek: Then the waitress seated 5 at a table for 4 and brought an extra chair, and 2 at the table for 6. Then we waited another 40 minutes for our food after we ordered. Yes, it is that good, although I think from now on we'll just call our order in and take it home. I love almost every Asian food I've tried though.

Everyday I am thankful for today.

Aww, we all feel that way from time to time Victoria. The feeling goes away, but it's hard in the moment. I like your picture of London Bridge in you sig, btw. Very pretty. Today my gripe is the wind! We get that, but never the rainstorms that generate it.

The Wind! It's blowing so hard I can hear sand hitting the windows, and I had to go up on the garage roof and put a cinder block on a flapping shingle to hold it down until I can glue it. Glad I haven't given back the bucket of Henry's I borrowed.

Have fun Barb!

Ha! Ha! Yeah, it kind of took me back to the early 80s, just not in a good way, lol! Was that last shot of the car going over a cliff from Harold and Maude? It looks red. though. I remember Harold's Jag-earse being black... ...and the skates were wrong. I think Dave Grohl's been watching Elephant Parts. Oh geez, the whole thing is streaming online. http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/comedy/watch/v16302037jr2yq3k8 Now back to your regularly scheduled thread....

I want that 3:35 min of my life back. Sorry Normandi.

Thanx Marion!

I try not to - worst time of day to eat, too. I usually keep it healthy; fruit, a little cheese, crackers.

Reservations or just get there early? The menu does look yummy!

CCR, Ike and Tina's version grates on my ears a bit.

Best friendship poem, Evar. :023: I am going to send it to all both of mine.

I think a close-up of this one will make a nice companion to the Red Jag painting.

^ Yay Lizzie! I've never been to The Mint, but been by it, and Tim Easton's played there a few times (which probably means little to the rest of you, lol). Gave bf a Dirty Knobs keychain, which he loved, and then he saw a picture of Mike's 12 string Vox :eek: -the inlays made him foam at the mouth, and there is a particular slant embedded in the fretboard inlays that made him downright giddy (something about giving up a private part of his anatomy to see that guitar, which I must highly contest) - I think he may try to make this one! Hopefully in better shape than he was in for Ape's show at the Joint. Fridays aren't the best nights for him.

1. Name your favorite cold beverage and when was the last time you had it? Soda water with lime, probably had some last week. 2. Name your favorite hot beverage and when was the last time you had it? Coffee this morning. 3. Do you consider yourself addicted to caffeine? Somewhat 4. Take this quiz: What is your coffee personality? You're cappuccino! Easy-going and calm, you know how to have fun, but you also know how to buckle down and work. So go you! Your life is pretty well balanced, and so is your coffee habit, too. No worries about caffeine addiction here. 5. How do you feel about Starbucks? There's only one SBs around here and it isn't particularly convenient, I rarely go there. 6. If you could sit down for a cup of coffee or tea with any single person, ask any questions you wanted, who would you choose and why? Benmont. He just seems to know so much stuff. I think he'd be very interesting to listen to. And funny, I hear he's funny.

:095: I had mine and didn't even think to use it. I was further back than at Ape's party, it probably may have worked - although as a stationary lens (no zoom), there may have been too many bodies (and afros and waving hands) in the way. A lot of my shots had one particular person's hands waving right in the middle of them).

It's the Grammies.

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
