Three attitude adjustment days

#1 Post by Beebs52 » Sun Apr 06, 2008 12:03 pm

I took Friday off--Jeff had to fly to Ft. Myers to visit his folks. No mental adjustment for him...

The last month has been a bitch, and I noticed myself just fading physically and in my head. I almost felt PMS'y, which would be so wrong since I'm beyond that. Thank you. Amen sistahs. Hallelujah. However, that's how I felt and it sucked.

So, Friday I went to the grocery store, came home and did something constructive for five minutes, then I hit the couch, popped the tv on and vegetated. Until I fell asleep.

Yesterday I got up, ate breakfast, got back onto the couch with the dog and cat and napped and watched tv. I thought about taking a shower, but realized I had to do that later for an event last night anyway, so why push it?

Went to a neighbor's daughter's NCL senior recognition dinner, which was quite lovely. Yes, I had showered and even looked decent. Went home, turned on the tv and fell asleep again.

Today I got up at 8, hit Target, came home and have been cleaning ever since. The house no longer smells like a compost heap. It's getting sparklier.

I highly, HIGHLY, recommend lying about. Just horizontally cogitating on nothing. I kept thinking during the cogitation that I "should" do something, then thought "Why? Take advantage of your opportunity to be a slug."

I'm not bone-tired today and I almost feel perky.

I have, however, reached my saturation point for Rock of Love, Flavor of Love 3, Celebrity Fit Club, The Kardashians, UK Make Me A Supermodel 2006 (a marathon, whoo hoo), InStyle magazine and smoked salmon.

Tonight I read an actual book.

Happy Sunday!
Well, then

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Have you seen what a pizza looks like after a contingency fee lawyer gets through with it? Anyway, ain't scared of no puppet lawyer, how hard would it be to knock the stuffing out of him!

I think it's very appropriate that you posted that in this thread. They obviously were drinking gallons of jug wine and had bypassed simple horizontal cogitation when they purchased that for a considerable amount of money.

Drinking jug wine? From the looks of that place, I think they're making moonshine -- or meth.

Now that I think about it, it might also be a law school for squirrels. Note the many trees on the property and the absence of pizza bones on the lawn.

That explains the owners' ire at being exposed. They're running a law school for meth-addicted squirrels.

I have written and erased three different responses to this video. All were in bad taste and probably offensive to bears. I'm not going to take a chance that some ursine bully will lawyer up with a squirrel and come after what's left of my pizza.

I just don't think it's right to have pole dancing in our national forests.

I don't understand, did they go behind closed doors to take a picture of the house? Were they trespassing when they took the picture?

I hope that Jeff and I are doing something naughty in the front yard when they come by to take pictures of our house. The odds of that are slim though.

Clowns are not evil, they're just misunderstood. But they can be hired to do naughty things on your front lawn.....

In the images shown from the Allegheny County tax records, the photo does not match the floor plan diagram.

Also, the Google Street View photos shown on the Smoking Gun site indicate that the owners cut down most of the vegetation before the Google cameras passed by, so they must not have been all that concerned about their privacy. If there are meth labs on the property, they are probably in the 2-car and 3-car garages that are visible is the Google Street View. They also have an in-ground pool around back. Maybe they think Google has a live cam, and it will prevent them from skinny dipping.

Austin just got added to Street View recently, so it's easy for anyone to see my house. My green truck is in the driveway. If I'd known they were coming, I'd have tried to do something creative for the photo op. The next door neighbor's house is unburned, so the photos were taken before the big fire on New Year's Eve.

I'm glad you're rested, clear-headed, and apparently cleaned up. :D I've been without internet access for almost 3 days. We had a storm here in North Carolina Friday night and the desktop computer here hasn't connected since. My Blackberry also has quit receiving internet access. We are way out in the country here, so maybe that's the problem

I have found that at 2:30AM, I can pick up a signal on my laptop. Since the 2 year old I'm helping babysit woke up at 5:15 this morning, I had a nice long nap today and now I'm not sleepy!

Had a nice dinner with Skoop last night. She dint get lost, but Natalie and I sorta did. We finally all made it to the same location.

Managed to stay online long enough to clear out my email. Glad to see everything here is in good shape. In fact, it looks like it's sorta been a slow weekend.

This is apparently the thread posted by people with wider screens than mine. I am jealous.
