Excuse me, but Moonliner was talking about a very important topic, I think it's rather rude to interrupt him and derail the thread.

http://www.fmplus.net/common/d_images/src/8/Image/Images_Show/scarlet_johanson.jpg

That's a man.

[Kevy Baby]

That's a man.Then I shall be gay for that man.

[JWBear]

You guys have way too much time on your hands!!!!

I want a man.
Boy howdy do I.

:)


I feel a “Lets All Find Brad a Boyfriend” tread coming on….. :evil:


Sorry, I just felt a strong need to bring some balance into this thread.

Please proceed....

I hate to tell you this, but on a board that is primarily straight women and gay men, you’ll never have balance.

Nope, not even that can make Kraft American Cheese appetizing. Good effort, though.

I agree… Blech! (But use a good swiss or cheddar instead…. Mmmmmmm!)

Moonliner, maybe an Angelina & Charlize sandwich, with them as the bread & you in the middle, smothered in Kraft American Cheese, might do the trick.


:D

OK, I'm getting seriously freaked out here. Would everyone please stop fantasizing about me and dairy products. It's just wrong.

(Ya see, I was responding to the "Scarlett Johanson is a man" post.)

[Strangler Lewis]

Well, Scarlett Johansson in underwear is nice, but I would put Angelina Jolie in underwear up against Scarlett Johansson in underwear any day of the week.

I'm sure a lot of guys here would put the two of them against one another.. in underwear or otherwise. ;)

[Mousey Girl]

The Old People are now in Canada and out of cell range. So I called my sister tonight, just looking for some support. I told her about some of the comments I have been hearing about "other fish in the sea" and "you'll find another man." I told her my views on that. She said (again) that I needed to not date or anything until Nickolas was grown and out of the house. She heard this tidbit from Dr Laura, so it MUST be gospel.

I don't know what I have more of a problem with, that she believes everything Dr Laura says or that I am to have no social life for the next 8 years.

[€uroMeinke]

I don't know what I have more of a problem with, that she believes everything Dr Laura says or that I am to have no social life for the next 8 years.

Nonsense - you can always send Nikolas off to boarding school while you tour the French Riviera

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm sure a lot of guys here would put the two of them against one another.. in underwear or otherwise. ;)Eh, I can do without Angelina Jolie. Something about a woman that seems to be made entirely of botox and collagen just doesn't appeal to me.

[Alex]

Both Angelina Jolie and Johannsen was fine from the neck down but have faces that don't really appeal to me.

Charlize Theron is very, very pretty. In a very clinical sense.

[blueerica]

What are you doing right now?

Reading this thread. Still.

[MouseWife]

Charlize Theron is very, very pretty. In a very clinical sense.


Actually, I've seen her up close and she is a natural beauty. The photos are made to look perfect and that looks clinical but in reality, I didn't realize it was her, I just thought it was a beautiful woman.

Ally, I want a Cornell-Depp Samwich.......Or a Homme-Cornell Combo....yep, that would be my samwish. Forget the cheese....

Kevy...I worry about you but I am not your wife. That takes off a lot of pressure.

Mousey Girl~ that is honorable of you and in this day and age, well, a good idea. But, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy your life. I love That Guys idea. :D But seriously, what a wonderful gift you have with your son, and what a wonderful mom you are to commit yourself to him this way.

Mmm...GC wants a boyfriend? How about a toyfriend? :D

Do women really have Sanchos? This Mexican guy was telling me about how women all have them {I guess in T.J.} and I don't know why the hell he was telling me this. He also told me my husband was probably out with his {my husbands} girlfriend and not Home Depot. :rolleyes: I don't think he was hitting on me, I think he was just an ass.

But I did have someone offer to be my Sancho....so, I ask, do women have Sanchos?

{of course, the timing of my question is a little odd what with the subjects at hand...just bad timing, I guess....}

[lashbear]

Ooh! Even better, fruity pie filling. :)

Ah yes, the Hostess Fruit Pie.

I was overwhelmed to eat my first ever Hostess Fruit Pie (Cherry) while in SFO.

It almost brought me to tears, after a childhood of reading Richie Rich, Dot, Baby Huey & Casper Comics and seeing ad after ad for that real fruit filling...... MMMmmmm.

However, they didn't mention in the ads that it was made from real fruit and 99% Sugar !! :eek: (Well, it WAS very sweet, and I took extra insulin just in case.)

[lashbear]

Am I the only one who always reads the So.......... thread from the last post to wherever I left off? It's fascinating wondering what starts each tangent...

OK, now I wonder if I wasn't correct way back in the days of the Padders Pics Page when I photoshopped a 5:00 shadow on GusGus.

[SacTown Chronic]

Hi to Crystal and the family!

When's the next time you guys are coming down?As a matter of fact, we'll be down for a short visit next month. The weekend after 4th of July.

[Scrooge McSam]

*checking the calendar*

[SacTown Chronic]

*checking the calendar*I suppose I should have given more notice but our plans were up in the air as recently as two weeks ago. In the end, Disneyland won out.....as it always does.

[Scrooge McSam]

No worries ;) Have bunches of fun, give bigs hugs to everybody from me... and the sidecars are on you this time.

[SacTown Chronic]

What, the calendar already told you no? Get a second opinion.

[Scrooge McSam]

Ahem... who said I already stopped looking?

[SacTown Chronic]

Sorry. I thought the "give big hugs to everybody from me" line was a clue.


Here, have a sidecar to get you in a California frame of mind.:cheers:

[Crystal]

Now that's funny. :)

Hi to Crystal and the family!

When's the next time you guys are coming down?

Hi!

Hope we get to see you next month!

[€uroMeinke]

Do women really have Sanchos?

My sister has one - or rather has a cat named Sancho. So the neighbors are amused when she calls for him. Her husband, not so much - but probably because he was her Sancho in her first marriage.

[BarTopDancer]

I don't know what I have more of a problem with, that she believes everything Dr Laura says or that I am to have no social life for the next 8 years.

It is important for boys to have a strong, positive male role model. But that doesn't mean you need to run out and "find yourself a man", nor does it mean that casual dates need to be introduced if you are never going to see them again. If and/or when you are in a place where you would like to date, go for it. If you aren't, don't worry about it right now. Priorities 1 and 2 are Kid and you.

And Dr. Laura ranks up there with Oprah in terms of cultability.

[Ghoulish Delight]

However, they didn't mention in the ads that it was made from real fruit and 99% Sugar !! :eek: (Well, it WAS very sweet, and I took extra insulin just in case.)

But were you warned of their napalm-like qualities?

[BarTopDancer]

Nope nope nope. You must rearrange your trip. I'll be in Vegas :p

Hey Leo, when are you coming down?

If you time it right there can be a SacTown, ML, SCA Sammich. Covered in cheese. :p

[Snowflake]

So I'm traveling down memory lane today, just downloaded the Traveling Wilbury's on my iPod. Good stuff.

[Scrooge McSam]

[Ghoulish Delight]

Both Angelina Jolie and Johannsen was fine from the neck down but have faces that don't really appeal to me. I used to agree, but for reasons beyond my understanding, that's changed for me with Johannsen.

Jolie's face still looks like she's having an allergic reaction to a bee sting.

That is a really funny story. But, did she name the cat Sancho before they were married?

My sister had a can she called Egore. The neighbors nickname was Egore {won't go there} and it was awkward calling the cat in....

Santeria by Sublime, a warning to sanchos! A fun song to sing, too.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I am also getting tired of being asked when I plan to start looking for a new man. Why do I need a man to be happy? My standard response is that I already have a man, he is in training, and he requires my full attention right now.

Bleh. I hate that whole thing about every woman *must* have a man. What- we can take care of ourselves. If someone comes along and you get along, great, but we are complete in ourselves. Well, some of us are. I know some women don't feel complete unless they're paired but I don't understand that.


Today's princess doesn't need a prince to rescue her! With lots of loving & supportive friends &/or family in her "kingdom", she'll do just fine!

I'll drink to that!


Am I the only one who always reads the So.......... thread from the last post to wherever I left off? It's fascinating wondering what starts each tangent...

I usually click view first unread and read forward. My brain does enough tangenting, I don't need help getting lost.

She said (again) that I needed to not date or anything until Nickolas was grown and out of the house. She heard this tidbit from Dr Laura, so it MUST be gospel.

I don't know what I have more of a problem with, that she believes everything Dr Laura says or that I am to have no social life for the next 8 years.

Hey, there's a lot of range between "no social life until your kid is 40" and "immediately finding a new man".

I can't take Dr. Laura seriously. Just... no.

[blueerica]

As mentioned in another thread - scratch me being gone that weekend. I am around. Busy with finals, but around. I should definitely meet up.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm hungry.

[Mousey Girl]

I feel like crap. I am hoping it is just problems from yesterday's caffiene intake and not the stomach flu.

It could also be stress. *sigh*



On a rather funny (in a verrrry 'Bad Mommy" moment), Nickolas likes it when I wake him up by crawling into his bed with the Girls. Holly, who is our loving, cleaning girl, has a problem. She likes to chew on fabric. She does not have a mean bone in her furry body. She sort of nipped on his undies this morning. He finally admitted he was the one who squeaked, not her. I found this hysterical.

[Kevy Baby]

I'm hungry.Have a cookie.






My post is borne out a story told to me when I was at Cal Poly in the late eighties. Seemed the programmer on an early campus-wide mainframe system buried DEEPLY within code a random silly lockout. At random times, a random terminal would blank out and just display a screen that said "I'm hungry". No matter what they did, they could not figure out how to bypass this lockout. Finally (and I don't recall how they figured this out) it was determined that all they needed to do was "have a cookie" and the terminal would resume right where it was. They never could find the code :)

[Morrigoon]

So Kevy, did they have to send a cookie, or just type it out?

Mousewife!! I love the term "Sanchos"!! I've never, ever heard this!! I referred to my ex-boyfriend as Sancho & I have no clue why- it didn't even remotely fit. Unless Sancho is spanish for "Mr. posessive who likes to drink a whole bunch." :( :p

Editing the company newsletter is proving more complex than I'd anticipated.

Strike that... lemme elaborate by saying that editing a company newsletter that is of a higher quality and style than the previous incarnations of the newsletter is proving more complex than I'd anticipated.

Before it was just several pages of random stuff, each page with its own composition, font, color scheme, layout, etc. I'm trying to make one that stands out as a vast improvement upon that legacy. And it turns out making a decent newsletter with a consistent look but where everything that needs to stand out, does... is taking longer than I'd planned. My cover's pretty b*tchin' though. It was better when it had the monorail on it (hey, if they're going to put a DL monorail photo in a collection of royalty-free images, I'm going to try to use it!), but it still looks pretty cool. I stretched the name out in a lovely bowtie-shaped bit of word art that covers the bottom third+ of the cover (prevously it was just in inch-high letters in the high-middle of the page in a color that barely stood out from the cover photo). Of course, making the cover better was the easy part, because well, I understand transparencies and how to make them work in publisher. (duh)

But yeah, getting everything I need on the inside to look good as well as consistent is taking some actual work.

[AllyOops!]

I had Pick Up Stix.

Hmmm...and so did my boyfriend. Without me. Damn you, BTD! First Fred Dryer, then Christopher Meloni and now this!!! Your'e always jackin' my men! (By jackin' I mean stealing, you low lifin' perverts. And by low lifin' perverts, I mean me.) ;) :p

Mmm.... Pick Up Stix. I'm a Panda Express freak. Msg-ee goodness in every migraine forming bite. Good golly I love Panda!

My boyfriend just sent me the most beautiful bouquest of red roses! They were delivered to my office with the most touching & precious card that completely made cry! Happy tears, of course! Today is our one-year anniversary, which is actually 10 in AllyOfTheDolls years. I'm sighing all dreamily because he is so wonderful & perfect for me! He's the "one"!! All I need is a mallet to bonk him over the head so that I may unconsciously drag him to the altar. :p :)

My Dad just called me and completely put me in check over my behavior. It doesn't matter how old you are, your parents are always your parents. He was 100% right, however. Why am I so awful when it comes to picking up a phone & calling people? I swear it's why nobody likes me. I have the best intentions, but I am the world's work pick-up-the-phone-and call-just-to-say-hi-er! :( My Dad let me know this in the kindest way possible. When my Dad acts fatherly, which is his job, I want to act like a child and run weeping into my room whilst slamming the door shut. :p

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, today was my most productive day in many moons. I think I'm learning that the project that I had previously spent months positioning myself to focus on is what has been causing my lack of motivation. It's still theoretically the direction of most interest to me, but the specifics are so frustrating to deal with on a day-to-day basis that I will find any way I can to avoid actually doing it, including avoiding actual work all together.

For the time being, there is no work to be done on that project. So now my goal is to build some motivation momentum by working on some other projects that are actually rewarding to work on and hope that momentum carries through once the other project is back on the front burner.

[Capt Jack]

wow. you just described most of my work life over the past decade (or two)

Probably nothing but happy childhood memories of vacation. Mainly it's chocolate I can't get here. My mom brought Rosebuds home from Nova Scotia. I did find a candy store here that sells Aero and Coffee Crisp bars too. That was exciting.

[MouseWife]

Of course now I'm afarid to ask about "Mousewife" :blush:


Hee hee....No worries, I'm just 'mousey'. :blush:


Quoting Ally~
Mousewife!! I love the term "Sanchos"!! I've never, ever heard this!! I referred to my ex-boyfriend as Sancho & I have no clue why- it didn't even remotely fit. Unless Sancho is spanish for "Mr. posessive who likes to drink a whole bunch."


I didn't know what one was myself,even after the 'Sublime' song. I just thought it was a name. But, people explained to me what it meant, in describing other people!! And, the person who offered up {and no, the Hubby does not know about this so Shhhhh!!} was saying that all women deserve a Sancho. What to do when the hubby works so many hours...

Oh, I am glad you say this is an 'ex' boyfriend.

[Mousey Girl]

I first heard the term when one of the guys in the warehouse used it towards one of the girls in the showroom. She has a boyfriend, and one of the guys outside wouldn't leave her alone. When she was walking through and heard it she was livid.

Sometimes the warehouse workers forget that there are other people who know the language. One of our laundry ladies referred to another girl as fat (but in Spanish). She knew what she had just been called.

When I go out there they always try to get me into their conversations and agree with whatever was just said. I just grin and stay out of it.

[Kevy Baby]

So Kevy, did they have to send a cookie, or just type it out?Wow - I left an important couple of words out. All they had to do was type "have a cookie"

I have a headache.
Throb throb throb.
Ugh.Haiku's are supposed to be 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. You got the first line right, but it went downhill from there.

Oh yeah, they do not realize even if people aren't fluently speaking Spanish they just might understand.

I think you are A+ smarty to stay out of their discussions.

It sucks having to get up this early for work...

[Ponine]

It sucks having to get up this early for work...

Yes it does.. been there... but I always felt sorry for the first child I had to pick up at 5:30 on my school bus, stadning cold on the street, who wouldnt get to school till after 7am.

You have my sympathy.

[blueerica]

Midterms? Already?! ACK!

Wish me luck! Or wish me "remember what you studied!" I hope I'm not relying on luck - that would suck!

[BarTopDancer]

Yes it does.. been there... but I always felt sorry for the first child I had to pick up at 5:30 on my school bus, stadning cold on the street, who wouldnt get to school till after 7am.

Now that sucks :(

4 days till I leave. I think I am going to burst from excitement. In a roundabout way I was hoping we would have gone to game 7. Sure, the stress and anticipation would have near-killed me but then I'd have less time to wanttogorightnow. Don't get me wrong, I am so happy we took it in 5. But the distraction would have been nice.

I love Canadian chocolate too! I also think it's because of childhood memories because Swiss is much better;) But there is nothing like a good coffee crisp or aero bar. When we went to Montreal I introduced my husband to them and he's hooked too! He actually ordered a bunch off ebay last year to get a fix! I found coffee crisp at the dollar store last week and bought him a few.

Do you remember a candy bar that was chocolate on the outside and had soft centers of 4 different flavors? I think they were chocolate, caramel, vanilla and something else. My mom swears they were made by Cadbury but I don't remember. They discontinued them a loooooooong time ago. I would give almost anything to have one.

My mom swears they were made by Cadbury but I don't remember. They discontinued them a loooooooong time ago. I would give almost anything to have one.They sell the British candy bars at the tea shop in EPCOT, as well as in all the grocery stores around here.

Let me know if you need directions to Publix.

You know what I am talking about?! I think I may cry tears of happiness if I come across them.

We won't have a car, but I am thinking that I want to try and get Giridono's while we're there too (because the dining plan won't be enough food :rolleyes: [sarcasm people!]. If we get a cab I'll hit up Publix.

[flippyshark]

BarTop, are you thinking of the Sky Bar (http://www.necco.com/OurBrands/Default.asp?brandID=11)? If so, you are in luck, because they still exist, although they are somewhat limited in regional availability. Around Florida, they are easy to find at any Cracker Barrel restaurant. You can also order them online.

I know Cadbury's available here, and I know Aero's easy enough to come by. As for your four-flavor thing, no, I don't know about that. There was at some point something kindof like that at the shop in Japan.

Japan is not known for their chocolate.

Giridono's?

I think so!!!!! I was just a kid when they went away but that looks so familiar! I think now we need to find a Cracker Barrel too.

I will definitely check out EPCOT and see if we want to go to Publix for some goodies. Giordano's pizza. I heard there is one near DW.

[Morrigoon]

Meh, stupid American Cadbury's just isn't the same. Hershey makes Cadbury in this country. You want the good stuff, you need to go abroad.

When I came back from England I was melting down this ginormous Cadbury "Dairy Milk" bar that someone had given me for Christmas and dipping fruit into it. Well, I ran just a little short on chocolate so I ran to the market and bought an additional Cadbury bar here, and it melted completely different... all paraffin >:(

There is apparently a collegiate cement canoe competition being held on campus this weekend. Today is the day they all show up, posture about, and get their canoe weighed and tested to make sure it floats - and this weekend they race. Or something.

And apparently this also involves electric guitars, although I don't personally see the connection. This being a college campus, the guitar player is required to skip through the first 8 bars of a number of classic rock standards, never actually playing a "song" as such.

[Moonliner]

Wow all this talk of foreign chocolates and I did not see a mention of

Toblerone (http://www.toblerone.com/). Now them's good chocolate. Especially frozen.

MF is quite right. There was a similar product at the Japan pavilion, with fudge, pineapple, banana and strawberry centers. The individual flavors were in discrete squares, not fused together, but it was a similar eating experience. (Easier to share) I haven't seen it for sale there in a while. I thought it was pretty tasty. Overall, Japanese chocolate seems pretty similar to American chocolate to my palate - very sugary. I do like the chocolate coating on Pocky a lot, especially the semi-dark coating on Men's Pocky. (If you find it, give it a try, even if you aren't Men. It's good.)

Wow all this talk of foreign chocolates and I did not see a mention of

Toblerone (http://www.toblerone.com/). Now them's good chocolate. Especially frozen.

I mentioned Swiss chocolate, which to me means Toblerone. Is there any other kind of Swiss chocolate?!

When we were in San Fran the Cheesecake factory had toblerone cheesecake. Sadly we just came back from Seattle and went to CF to get some and they don't have it there:(

I've been addicted to Toblerone since I was 8 and Pierre brought me a big bar of it. He brought it every year after that! I hoard it though and don't share:evil:

[Stan4dSteph]

I mentioned Swiss chocolate, which to me means Toblerone. Is there any other kind of Swiss chocolate?!Yes (http://www.lindt.com).

[blueerica]

I used to have a HUGE thing for Toblerone, and just about any Swiss chocolate. That was until I went and had a layover in Switzerland. It was then and there in the airport convenience store that I had a startling revelation. Swiss convenience stores carry far superior chocolate to anything I'd had in the U.S. Everything else I'd had was just stale from shipping, or something... I can't put my finger on it. I remember we bought a bunch on the return flight home - and it still tasted better than what I could buy here... a month after we were back!

Though I still love me some Lindt, Toblerone and Ritter, my chocolate-lovin' heart can't forget.

Oh, I could use some serious chocolate right now. Unfortunately, the only thing that really sounds good at the moment a scotchmallow. Just one. Yum.

[Moonliner]

Of course Swiss chocolate is all well and good, but most you lucky bastards live smack dab in the middle of chocolate nirvana (http://www.sees.com/). In the store, girl in the white dress, made fresh daily, nirvana. I hate you for it.

Yeah, around Christmas time we get a cart at the mall that sells a few prepackaged selections, and yeah I can order off the web site, but it just ain't the same as getting it from the store.

[Alex]

I never understood why See's was such a phenomenon. Every Christmas everybody was giving it out to everybody else and it just tasted like your standard chocolates to me.

Since they don't do the sarsparailla suckers anymore (that I've seen over the last year of looking) there's no reason to go in anymore.

But then, since I don't bitter stuff (this feeds into the coffee hating too) I'm a heretic in not really caring one way or the other about chocolate and when I do I prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate.

[Snowflake]

I like Sees, I grew up with Sees, but it's not fresh daily in the stores, has not been forever. I have a Sees a few blocks away on Polk Strasse, I do love their caramels (and toffee, and raspberry cremes) but if I want chocolate nirvana, plain and simple, it's this (http://www.valrhona.com/fr/gpublic/chacchoc/gout/guanaja/guanaja.php3?vlang=A). One small uber dark square of this decadent 70% cacao, melts slowly in your mouth like nothing else. If I could inject it, I would.

It probably because it was tied to all our family special occasions when I was a kid. Christmas, birthdays etc.. Objectively, yeah it's probably not that different than some other brands but emotionally there ain't nothing that comes close. A whole box of Milk Molasses Chips all to myself was just about the best part of Christmas for me. Plus I'm sure living out on the bitter east coast where I can't get it plays it's part also.

[Alex]

Though at least it is now officially not the policy* of Cracker Barrel (as of 2002) I am still iffy about patronizing the place since most of the company executives that supported the explicit anti-gay employment policies are still there. The more recent racism allegations don't help.

On the other hand I love any restaurant where you can get a meal with three "side vegetables" and none of sides are actually vegetables (I think I had macaroni & cheese, some cinammon apple thing, and biscuits of some sort).

*Between 1991 and 2002 (when forced by shareholders) it was official policy that employees promote normal heterosexual values.

[Alex]

It probably because it was tied to all our family special occasions when I was a kid.

For us growing up it was equally likely be a See's sampler or a Whitman's sampler. I preferred Whitman's because it had a map of the chocolates (if the See's did as well I never saw it).

At least for us, the holiday Sees boxes (except for the molasses chips) where all custom selected 1lb boxes heavy on the California Brittle and Milk Chocolate Creams and so no road map.

[flippyshark]

Mmmmm... See's.... (anguished drooling)

I used to love the See's pops, hard chocolate blocks on a stick. The dark ones were especially tasty. I probably lost a filling or two on them.

Some of you even have Ghiradelli(sp) in your backyard! I have been rationing my squares since last years trip. I am almost out! The factory had so many delicious flavors I had never experienced before!

I like See's because you get a free sample when you walk in. Of course if it's good my son always wants mine. My friends all request boxes of bordeaux(sp) at Christmas time, but I didn't find it that amazing.

[BarTopDancer]

What the heck are "normal heterosexual values"?
Who is defining normal? And whose version of heterosexual values are they promoting?

My heterosexual values are to promote equality for all regardless of their sexual orientation. Does that reason make me abnormal? (I can think of many other things that make me abnormal KEVY :p )

I want some chocolate. I think I shall go raid the candy dish downstairs.

[Mousey Girl]

When I go to Sees to buy a gift I always end up with a box of my favorites. I love the butterscotch square and the bordeauxs, but I also enjoy the mocha and butter creams (preferably the orange and the vanilla). Nickoals discovered my last box, so when I had a piece he had a piece. That box lasted half as long as it usually did. :(

[Prudence]

I really really really dislike See's. Apparently I am in the minority.

[Alex]

My understanding was that it was essentially a "don't ask, don't tell" type policy. If nobody knows you're gay then ok. If we find out, you're fired.

[blueerica]

Hmm, I should go find a more recent version of the employee manual. I remember that even by my own definition in th 1990s that it seemed super strict on hairstyle... everything. It seems that DADT type of policy would only be an extension of the other policies, and not necessarily for the sake of sexuality specifically.

I worked in a chocolate store for six years. What we found is that when people would hand select a box of chocolates, that is exactly what would happen.
They would select what they liked, or their favorites as a gift, as why would they give something that they thought was horrible?
The exception to that was gift givers that KNEW what the reciepent liked.
ie: pink champagne truffles for the wife for valentines, not the Kahlua he likes.

So... Last night I decided to pay a visit to GD/CP's stomping grounds and take in the Angel's game. We always park on one of the side streets near the stadium and walk in. It was a fun game, I normally go to about one a year, but I enjoy it. The Angels won. Apparently this caused some sort of kharmic imbalance in the universe, because as we were walking back to my car, a woman came up to me and said "is that your car? someone just broke into it, and my husband is chasing him!" As you can imagine, I was shocked and stunned. This nice couple had also called the police. In a few minutes the police had set up a perimeter, and were walking around with the K-9 unit. I didn't really have anything valuable in the car, luckily the ipod with mousepod's latest episode was locked safely in the trunk.
About 20 minutes later, the police had found someone who ran from them. They took this couple one at a time to id him. Apparently it was the guy, according to them.
On the ground outside of the car, amidst the broken glass of my passenger window were 2 of my parking receipts from Disneyland, which seemed very bizarre, also included in the mess was a "Notice to Appear" for the Costa Mesa PD for someone I didn't know (Did the guy actually drop this?)
The police came back to me and asked my if I was missing anything like a Disneyland button or pin. I remembered that I had one of those Ariel's Grotto buttons from the last time we took my daughter there for her birthday. I mentioned the button, and they both looked at each other and smiled.

Apparently Ariel helped make the bust.

Major mojo for the couple who took the time to get involved, without them and the police, this guy would have gotten away.

I'm bummed about the window, but from what I can tell, nothing valuable was taken, and at least I got to sleep in a nice warm bed last night. I don't think I can say the same for him.



Update: The guy plead guilty and was sentenced to 2 years. Apparently the authorities don't look kindly on committing auto burglary when you are already on probation.

It's sad that this guy is throwing away 2 years of his life to get some junk out of my car.

[Kevy Baby]

That was quick justice. This just happened a couple of weeks ago.

Glad to hear it worked out well (for everyone but the idiot who broke into your car).

If it is, you need to shave.
:D

[Not Afraid]

I've given up the razor and the wax. ;)

[Not Afraid]

Sooooo, the foster dad of the kittens with thumbs is out of town until Monday. I'm not sure if I can meet the kitten until next Saturday. I'm boohooing.

Meanwhile, there is a 6 month old pug at the SPCA (NGU might take her) but I'm tempted if he's not. Then, tonight, i met a woman in our neighborhood who does bulldog rescue and has a friend who does French Bulldog rescue.

Following the camping trip, I'm going to open a zoo.

[€uroMeinke]

Our new tent, however; will be my new residence

[Capt Jack]

lucky for you shes not allowed to bring home ones she may find camping.

besides Ive heard bears are marginal housepets at best

[Kevy Baby]

Our new tent, however; will be my new residenceIts better than the doghouse I guess.

[Mousey Girl]

I think my fever just broke.

[blueerica]

Well, that sounds like good news!

[Not Afraid]

Can it be fixed?

budum bum.


I'm happy for you MG. That is always such a relief.

[wendybeth]

Here's another one of him.

Why, hello there, Mr. NA Meinke Jr!

He's pretty purrfect.:)

I'm sure Jr will have a wonderful time shredding your new abode with his abundant nailage.

[Not Afraid]

TOES!

I've said the word "toes" today more times the the word "Nemo" is repeated in the new Subs.

[wendybeth]

My kitty Kyria had six toes on all her paws. She still had them when she turned into a Ricky, some six months later. Weirdest cat I ever had, but I loved him.:D

[wendybeth]

Tori thinks that kitty is adorable, and suggests you name him after the six fingered man in the Princess Bride, Count (Tyrone) Rugen.

[blueerica]

I thought Tori was awesome before - but she's exceeded my cool-meter with that suggestion... Seriously.

[ozron]

Wait.... you had a transexual cat?

I'm confused...

[ozron]

You don't want to do that.

Trust me. You really don't want to do that.

[blueerica]

Somehow I missed this post, too... I'm confused, as well...

[wendybeth]

Wait.... you had a transexual cat?

I'm confused...

I was as well. Kyria was adopted when she was barely six weeks old, and the vet assured us she was a healthy girl. When she was about four months old, she 'dropped', and Kyria became Ricky. The vet was a bit embarassed, but he said he would have figured it out come fixing time.:rolleyes: The cat was bonkers, but I loved him.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Kyria/Ricky - the anti-Munchkin

[Prudence]

It's after 2am. I can't sleep. And apparently no one is online to entertain me. Forty lashes for all of you!

[Kevy Baby]

It's after 2am. I can't sleep. And apparently no one is online to entertain me. Forty lashes for all of you!Thank you, may I have another?

[AllyOops!]

OUCH! It felt more like 50 lashes! What was I thinking wearing a leather thong?? No protection from Pru's furious flogging. :(

I'm glad that I wore the nipple clamps & red rubber ball gag, however. It added to the spanking joy. Just another typical early Saturday morning on the LoT.

;) :p

Dear FedEx,

You suck.

[Mousey Girl]

It is almost time to head for home. I just wish I knew what is wrong with my 'puter. I am thinking it is the monitor. The littel blue light says it is on, but nothing appears.

[BarTopDancer]

Did you check the connections from the monitor to the computer? It may have come loose.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow. I think if you are able to post without actually seeing an image on the monitor, you've been spending too much time on the LoT :p

[Mousey Girl]

ttthhhpppttt!!

I did a hard boot of everything and it is all working now. We had some power issues last night and I was worried that it was something worse.


I got home to find my father-in-law helping David to move out some of his crap. Luckily I was able to talk to him alone for a minute. He was doing it to help me reclaim my garage and back yard. He even made a few snarky remarks about taking everything over to Dawn's house. I was highly amused, David not so amused.

I now have 1/3 of my garage available, tomorrow I can start cleaning it out and moving things around. I still can't park in there because of the boat, but it is a step. My patio needs a good pressure washing, but it is no longer a car port!!

Don't you have more important things to do? Like packing for a trip?

[JWBear]

We had a yard sale this morning. Sold lots of crap, but only made $122.

For me the happy part is getting rid of the "crap". The $$$ are just a bonus.

[MouseWife]

I have to agree with that.

As I am cleaning up my house full of crap. The parts that I've cleared look so damn good...I need to keep it up....

Now the roses the Hubby brought me look nice. :)

Well, what are you going to do with your earnings? We used to do yardsales to go to Disneyland. Now we have APs.

[blueerica]

I just keep donating and donating. It's a never ending cycle... I can't believe I ever had this much crap.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Our neighbors are moving!

This is good news on at least a couple fronts, both relating to their dogs.

They have two dogs. One of them is a large dog (looks like a dalmation/dane mix to me). She spends almost her entire day either inside or in the tiny (~20ftx8ft) back patio that our condos have. This is a trapped, frustrated dog. So I don't blame her for barking. But that doesn't make it any less of a nuisance. She barks at everything. She barks at anyone who walks by the back, she barks at us every time we enter or leave. She even barks at us while we're in our own kitchen.

Thankfully, she's brought inside at night, so that doesn't tend to be an issue. But CP, who takes her bike out the gate and parks in the carport right by their yard, gets "assaulted" every single morning. It grows wearisome.

She had a conversation with them recently, which wasn't particularly encouraging. After first making, "She just needs o get to know you," excuses, they eventually said, "She used to be better when my mom would come by and walk her more often, but she doesn't any more." When CP suggested that they might look into training, the response was, "Oh, you can't train for barking, can you?" :rolleyes:

I feel very sorry for these dogs, it's no life to be stuck in that little cement box. But we were coming very close to contacting the association and finding out what our options might be.

So I was very happy to get an email from CP saying that our neighbor came into the library today and told her they'd be putting the condo on the market within the month. Their main motivation being to find somewhere with a yard for the dogs.

I'm happy the nuisance will be gone (presuming a new one doesn't move in *crosses fingers*). And I'm really happy the dogs will hopefully be much much happier in their new home.

[Mousey Girl]

Don't you have more important things to do? Like packing for a trip?

LOL!! YES! Nickolas keeps bugging me about when I am going to start packing. I made him go up in the attic to get the luggage down on Thursday and he has been bugging me ever since.

[JWBear]

Very true.

[Prudence]

Hello, I would like to return this life, please. What's wrong with it? Oh, it just doesn't seem to be working out. It's not really "me". No, I don't want to exchange it for a different style. I think I'd just rather get my money back. Thanks so much.

[Mousey Girl]

I am a bit beyond pissy at this point. While I am happy that I can slowly start repairing my abused patio, it would have been nice if they had fixed the sprinkler they ran over, or at least told me about it. I now have a mess of stinky, oily water covering 1/3 of my patio. I lack the skills (or at least the knowledge) to repair it.

Add this to the horrific sunburn on Nick's back and I am one pissed puppy. According to Boy, when he asked Dawn for sunblock she said she threw it all away. I am now taking pictures of his back, my yard and the disgusting, moldy mess David left in the back bathroom.

[blueerica]

Ran over sprinklers? Messed up patios? Huh? I need to read back, or just accept this is something I miss.

And seriously - he asked for sunblock and her only irresponsible answer is that she threw it all away? What were they doing? If they had anything outdoors planned and sunblock wasn't... OK, I'm just irritated. But I think I'm just in that kind of mood.

I was downstairs with grandma earlier and she was watching some Lifetime movie. The lead actress was stupid. I know she made her decisions because of love and all, but I couldn't help but be irritated by her lack of concern for everyone but herself. Though I'm sure most Lifetime viewers could "understand" why she did it (took her amnesiac husband home), I could see through that thin shell... Though it all ended well, as are Lifetime flicks wont to do, her children suffered mental abuse and were put in regular danger. It was based on a true story, which made me feel even worse - she didn't listen to doctors and didn't read up on what memory loss does to a person... selfish!

So it's probably my mood. But in general, I hate such blatant irresponsibility.

HMPF!

[RStar]

That's great news GD! I hope they follow through. I hope this isn't just a ruse to get you off their backs for a couple of months. I think I'd find out what the assosiation has in it's bylaws about such matters- just in case.

I have lived in such situations and had to wonder- does anyone else have their sence of hearing? Why is it that we are the only one's annoyed by insesant barking?

Sorry to hear about the frustrations MG! Good luck with everything! Get some green tea, make a strong batch and mix it with aloe juice. Use that on Nicks back. It will sooth it, and allow it to heal faster. And keep sunscreen that he can take with him next time. Sheesh! Threw it all out.....:rolleyes:

[Mousey Girl]

I have some aloe gel with lanocaine and menthol, it has helped him enough to sleep. I will put the sunblock on him before he leaves. I can't afford to supply her multiple spawn with sunblock. I also told him to keep his tshirt on, even with the sunblock. I already chewed David out for the sunburn, but that was before I knew about the damage in the back yard.

[Mousey Girl]

So... Daivd didn't come for Nick until after 10. He said he would be here between 8 and 9. It seems they have a problem with their pool. Someone has gouged holes in it. I guess Dawn was trying to blame Nick because the first thing David did was look at his toes. Nick can't have long toe or finger nails because of Tai Kwon Do. They have regular nail checks (which he would know if he ever watched).

He had the whole group with him when he pulled up. I asked him about the broken sprinkler. I could sense her seething as he insisted on fixing it while they waited in the hot car. LOL! I know she was furious!

Oh well, small things like that keep me amused.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Kids outdoors without sunblock???? Not smart. I'm sorry this is difficult. Hopefully the Boy will heal quickly and this will fade into the past.

So she thinks toenails gouged the *pool*??? I thought the liners were harder than that.

Congrats on getting your sprinkler fixed!! :)

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm at work tonight. Bleh.
Maybe until 10 or so.
No cemetery for me.
:(

[scaeagles]

I had to work today, too, and on father's day. Software release tomorrow. Blah.

But, when I got home, my family had purchased for father's day for me...a Wii! How fun! They had been looking for one for a month and finally got one today while I was working. It is so cool. We only created a family of Miis and played a few things on the sports game, but it is way cool and I could become incredibly addicted to this thing.

[Alex]

I don't know how common they are in the stores yet, but when we were at CostCo yesterday they had a pallet of them them. So of course we got one.

We found it fun, but I don't know that we found it addictive so hopefully it'll get used. If anybody has The Legend of Zelda does it actually get interesting at some point? I played for about 30 minutes last night and quite literally fell asleep while doing so I was so bored.

[Prudence]

I would like to trade places with my cat.

[Matterhorn Fan]

You want to fall off the sofa?

[scaeagles]

We haven't seen them anywhere here in Phoenix. My wife had been calling various retail outlets for the last two weeks trying to find one. They are quite scarce in Phoenix retail stores.

I have tried anything like The Legend of Zelda - we've only played Wii sports. Having a lot of fun with it. We also piddled around with Wii play to get the hang of how to use the controller.

One good thing is our kids have had a Gamecube for several years and we have many games, which are all Wii compatable.
