3. Hi Joan!

Mission Accomplished. I've found goodboy already, and gave him your regards. In fact, we sat next to each other at dinner last night. :)

[In_The_Wind]

9. G'morning GOPisEvil

I'm glad that you're together out there. I'm with all of you in spirit, I couldn't have loved Andy anymore if he were my own child.

We've all lost a very special man when we lost Andy :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

10. Definitely.

If everyone that wanted to be could have been, we'd have had to rent out an arena. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

19. There will be so much love in one place tonight.

It's too bad that it's for such a sad reason.

[Heidi]

4. Listen to Lenny Kravitz perform live across the lake . . .

while sitting on my bedroom balcony with a cold beer! :bounce: (It's 5 p.m. and I've finished my "real" work for the day.)

:hi: Joan!

[Wapsie B]

5. That sounds like the best Saturday of all!

Cool.

[Heidi]

11. I've looked forward to it for months . . .

At the ripe old age of 42, I'm not too keen on the idea of sitting in a huge crowd on the Piazza Grande on a 90-degree July night, even for Lenny Kravitz. But my bedroom balcony overlooking Lago Maggiore should be just about the right distance from the crowd. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

16. That warm at night?

It's toasty like that here too. Ah bedroom balcony. Must be a beautiful view.
:hi:

[Heidi]

30. The view.

The bedroom balcony is the only place to be this time of year. It's incredibly hot this year (thank you, global warming). Here's the view:


Straight down into the garden


Lenny will be performing on the Piazza Grande across the lake, on the left, where you see a skyline.

[In_The_Wind]

13. ahhh ~ you have the best plan of all !

Lenny Kravitz live from your bedroom balcony with a cold libation ... life doesn't get much better ~



:hi:

[Heidi]

31. I wish ya'll could be with me!

It's a small bedroom balcony, but we could make-do by putting a few DUers on the patio. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

33. That's a very generous offer Heidi

it would be lots of fun



:grouphug:

[Southsideirish]

7. Get acupuncture treatment from Chinese Medicine doctor.

[In_The_Wind]

14. Good luck on your treatment. I hope all goes well for you.

:hug:

[Lars39]

12. I knew this day was coming...

The "required" visit to the visiting fundy missionaries(BIL,wife, and little brainwashed girl).:banghead: :hide: :yoiks:

I'm hoping for the presence of mind to be able to generate major cognitive dissonance. :evilgrin::popcorn:

[In_The_Wind]

17. be kind to yourself remember ~ your intentions will be felt

so you'll be facing post-decisional dissonance fundamentalist ... :grr: ... good luck & be careful out there

[Lars39]

22. Thanks!

Their "reality" is....disturbing. I really mostly just keep my mouth shut for that very reason.
I was hoping they'd be gone for a year or so(they're in India). :(

[In_The_Wind]

27. hey - you're a braver person than I am

I avoid going into situations that I find disturbing if I can because the older I get the more I'm likely to call someone on their bullshit when I hear it. :shrug: that's just the way it is.

[Lars39]

28. And risk being....

shunned? :silly: :)
I'm trying to approach this as an anthropological study. :D

[In_The_Wind]

29. oh ... it's a study. That's for sure!

[Lars39]

38. lol

Thanks,Joan_Alpern; you've cheered me up considerably. :) :toast:

[In_The_Wind]

39. my pleasure!

>... and to you !

[caty]

15. Empty dishwasher.

Finish laundry, give cats fresh water, clean out cat litter, go to dollar store to get some things that are on my grocery list, fix lunch, do dishes, and later--go out to dinner.

[In_The_Wind]

18. sounds ... busy but productive and enjoyable

I love cats. How many do you have?

:hi:

[caty]

34. I have three.

two females (1 tomboy and 1 little lady) and one male (who thinks he's all that).

[In_The_Wind]

36. excellent

so much love & amusement ... I think it's better to have more than one cat or dog if you can so they won't get lonely while their person is away. My persian cat - Billie used to cry when I went out and left her alone so I kept one of her kittens for company.

[caty]

37. I think you miss out on

a lot when you only have one pet. Watching them interact with each other and play is so amusing. :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

20. Not even 9AM

And I have already balanced my checkbook, and have the current spate of bills ready to mail!

Behold the awesome powers of ZOMBYCOFFEE. :bounce: :donut:

[In_The_Wind]

23. I gave up caffeine almost 4 months ago *sigh*

:evilgrin: but I've been sneaking a little of it back into my diet here and there. Nothing at all like the 3 mugs of coffee that I used to drink all day long.


I miss the days when I could live on mocha cappuccinos:cry:

[Zomby Woof]

24. A ZombyMochaCappucino

Is the safest way to consume... :donut: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

26. Thank you ... I'm gonna need that while I clean all of the splashed

Dunkin Donut lattes off the cup holders. Ya know ... that happens sometimes while you're driving :shrug:

[sundog]

21. work

cut pork, cut chicken, make sweet & sour sauce, make satays, make coconut curry, wait on customers, cook for customers, stock beer cooler, turn on club lights, cook for the band, make sure no one tries to slip out without paying while the band is on, party a bit if my ass isn't getting nailed with orders, clean up

[In_The_Wind]

25. *sigh*

I remember the days of endless prep-work. If I ever drive cross-country I'm gonna have to stop on by and check out the cuisine for sure! Until then you'll just have to keep me smiling with your stories of your happy daily grind.



:hi::hug: BTW ~ you must be doing it right or you wouldn't be so busy :thumbsup:

[Squeech]

32. Cleaning house

A chronic problem, but rendered a bit more important by Mrs. Squeech's idea that we should move to Philadelphia, and for that concept to have any chance of success, I absolutely have to pare down the clutter.

I hope to have a big enough load to make it worth my while to visit the used book store. (Happens I also want to buy some-- more of those silly South Florida modern decadence novels by Carl Hiassen, and I also want to pick up a copy of Animal Farm for my nephew.)

[In_The_Wind]

35. that type of cleaning means lots of visits down memory lane

enjoy your day Squeech ... did you & Mrs. Squeech find any acceptable prospective locations?
