Good Morning Christy!

tis a lovely Spring morning here.

Morning, Christy. Hi, Elliot.

Hi Christy,
In the wake of getting canned at worked I have spearheaded an effort at our local men’s shelter to provide 30 men with mentors and we think we’ve found 2 of the guests affordable housing (a % of income) to out of homelessness into homefullness. Our goal is to raise funds and coax enough volunteers to keep it open next summer on an “earn-in” basis.

Thanks for keeping this place rocking. Now off to coach my 6 year old’s soccer game.
Hope Fi is doing great!

T-

A gud mournin’ to all…we know at least the banksters and pols are having fun.

G’morning’, everyone.

‘Tis lovely in the northland. Robins and cardinals are dominating the airwaves with their songs. Goldfinches are singing at the thistle feeder by my office window. The white-throated sparrows have been back for some time. And the hummingbirds are here as well. Have heard, but haven’t yet seen, the orioles. Everything is greening up and in spite of my benign neglect, David’s gardens are popping up all over the place.

(((T)) @3, you’re a star!

I’m involved with a community garden. MY goal is to provide fresh produce to a local soup kitchen.

Mornin’, gang -

mornin, waccamaw.

good morning everyone

(((katymine!!!))) How’re you doing, girl?!

and a fabulous good morning to you dahlin’ !

katymine, I trust you are feeling better.

g’mornin’ all. i opened my blinds this morning to a roadrunner in the backyard. i’m here at the lake with my breakfast. i’ve been volunteering for the city council place 1 progressive/environmental candidate. the election’s today so i’ll be off soon to wave his sign and encourage people to vote for him. i’ve got the morning shift.

Good morning, especially to Katymine! How are you doing? Wait, you’re in AZ like me — why are you up so early?

What makes me smile this morning is the morning itself — summer has come to the desert, and with it dragon weather. Hot, dry, when the air is like strong spirits and the sun warms you from the inside out. And the mornings are unbelievably lovely. I stood out on my porch and watched the sun rise over the mountains and listened to the chorus of birds, and was very happy.

Good Morning Christy and Firedogs -

the Oracle of Santa Monica had me howling

I just pray no fellatio was involved in the torture regime or there is going to be hell to pay. Digby

(((((katymine))))

wow! it’s been so long. how’re you doin’ girl?

LOL!

altho it’s such a sad comment on our country.

You know, there’ve been a lot of those sad comments lately. I think McDonald’s needs to offer an adult unhappy meal, complete with tiny little bottles of gin as the prize.

– Tristero and dung beetles. Need I say more?

how about coffee from rat turd?

Make mine a venti.

perfect!

Here’s some amusing news for Moms and their issue.

Issuezzz.

Uh. Mah. Gawd.

heh. Followed the link, which led me to a link for The Onion Store.

My shopping list now includes about three T-shirts and a couple of coffee mugs.

—hi katymine!—

one word at time

slow going?

okay, got it. Easy question: Feeling better?

OMG! I love The Onion! HIGH-sterical!

oh beauty, i’m so glad you’re back!

Katymine, it is so GOOD to “see” you back with us!! ((((Katymine))))

dexametoxe (sp) still of life

has everyone seen GOPasauric Park ??

looks like katymine is talking aboutDexamethasone

see Oncologic Use and Side Effects

Great to see you commenting this morning!

You are fast, girl! Got there a nanosecond before I did! First round to cbl2!!! *g*

katymine, pain free?

oh that’s good –hahaha!

(in reply to cbl’s GOPasauric Park )

GM, Christy, and Great to See You, Katymine!!

Except for the politics of the game, a SC nominee need not be a lawyer or a judge. . .but I guess that politics has to win these days. I hope Obama appoints only women to the court. Maybe with 3 or 4 more women, the nasty bunch will begin their exodus.

Blue skies and Heat here. Another hot day.

i was on that track too!

but two friends called. one to find out whom she and her sister should vote for in the city council races today. and another called from the trail to let me know how her three dogs are – they got into a porcupine hiking last night. or i should say the porcupine got into them. about $1000 later, they seem to be fine. but then i remembered her husband hadn’t voted yet and called and reminded him to go vote.

well, i’ve got to get ready to go wave political signs at the polls this morning.

Wait, wait! $1,000 porcupine? Medical? Fines? All okay now?

and the T-shirts are dolphin-friendly. that’s important, ya know…

I didn’t know we had porcupines in the area. can you give me a general idea as to where ?

((((katymine))))) light and healing energy and going your way

seeing the pics of those kids on the WH swing set made me think…

FINALLY, after 8 long years, the peoples house has been returned to THE PEOPLE :)

OUCH
happy sign waving!

(((katymine))) Late gettin’ here this mornin’ but better late than never. BFF Slow Joe called and kept me on the horn an hour.

Gotta go feed the fish and stray tigers at work. bbl

Cracking The Maya Code was the usual NOVA fabulous

but click on Chapter 4: Child’s Play . . . . you’ll laugh, you’ll cry

“Tyleall”?? Can’t decipher that one. But nevermind, it is just wunnerful to have you back with us.

sedation at the vets and pulling quills out of 3 dogs. expensive little porcupine.

my house backs up to the barton creek greenbelt and we hike on the extensive trail system there. i hadn’t known about porcupines before this in this area either.

the one time i was hiking with a dog who got quilled was in oregon. there were only about 10 or so quills and i pulled them out with pliers.

these dogs had many many quills in their mouths and tongues. it really was necessary to sedate them first.

had some fun with my usual winger targets this week (think mailbox baseball) – raining all over their Dijon Mustard!! parade with this:

When a pool reporter following the president’s intown travel stationed outside dispatched an email to Rove inside, asking if the architect of the president’s campaigns could spare a doggy bag for the press van, sure enough — out came an emissary bearing a gift of sausage and quail wings.

as reported by some gal named Smith :D

i’ll guess that means “occasionally she takes tylenol”.

thanks !

so sorry about the goggies – but thrilled to hear I could actually see a live porcupine. have been lucky in that I have seen some of the most rare continental U.S. mammals, (jaguar and ocelot) but porkies and badgers have eluded me to date

tylenol work

What’s up here besides shredder going belly-up, basement waterproofing grinding to a halt (only the kitties are happy about that; We want it DONE!), rain forecast?

I read somethin’ cute yestidie, Ms. Redd:

I have a gorgeous blue jay pair hanging out at my feeder, sharing tidbits with each other at the moment. So cute.

You do know what that’s called, by real live scientists, yet?

“Courtship Feeding”

Awwwwwww. Now leave them to their privacy, my dear, and before you know it, they’ll be bring some young cuties to your feeder in awhile. Yes, Blue Jay hanky panky, right on your bird feeder. heh Please give them our best wishes. ;->

expensive little porcupine.

judicial intervention is needed. If I was the judge, I’d sentence the porpcupine to 90 days community service, consisting of the porcupine being required to roll around in a bed of marshmallows first thing in the morning, before heading out for the rest of its then non-prickly day.

Why am I thinking of s’mores all of a sudden?

((((hugging Katymine)))) Nice to see you’re up and about! ;-)

Sure is. LOL

hahahaha. love that – porcupines with marshmellows image!

ok. i’m out the door……

Mornin’ Counselor,

S’more Pie is one of our biggest sellers. any firedogs finding their way to Hutto – first slice is on me !

Good Morning to YOU! So glad to have you back. ;->

tylenol work

Good, so no (or not much) pain. Great news! Looking forward to when you can tell us more. Last I recall you were having that brain tumor zap treatment. And thanks to Elmore for checking in with us and letting us know how you were doing.

G’Day Christy and Amazing Firepups !

Hi Katymine! I love the picture at the top–it’s a red flowering currant, and I have one growing in the backyard. It just finished blooming, and the hummingbirds jealously guarded it while it was in bloom!
