Congrats DB. You both are an example of doing life right. http://serve.mysmiley.net/sign/sign0201.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net)

Spending the day yesterday celebrating with my wife our 48th Wedding Anniversary. It was a great day and we had a terrific time.
Congrats DB and Mrs. DB!!!!

[dicksbro]

Going to see Cars 2 today. :boink:

[Oldfart]

We saw Pirates of the Caribbean yesterday. Good fun movie.

[AZRedHot]

I'm trying to get the Mr. to go see that one over the holiday next weekend, OF.

Fresh purple pedicure.

It's 2 hours of mindless fun.

[Oldfart]

That's cold, AZ

[AZRedHot]

That's the idea, OF. 113 here today.

[Oldfart]

A brusque summer morning then, Nanook?

[dicksbro]

I don't think there's anything I have to do this morning. :)

[sodaklostsoul]

Catching up with old friends.

[AZRedHot]

A brusque summer morning then, Nanook?

No, I'm just not terribly chatty in the mornings, OF. :p

The key to surviving an Arizona summer is to lie naked under a ceiling fan while being fed grapes by your man slave so you don't have to move. Sadly, despite the clear wisdom of such a plan, I still have to go to work.

[Oldfart]

Have you seen the misting fans?

[AZRedHot]

The little squirt bottle ones? Yeah, but I don't have one. We have various squirt bottles placed around the house for dog disciplining. When it's really hot, I'll mist myself and then sit under the aforementioned ceiling fan.

[Oldfart]

No, these are 12" or 14" mains power fans with a water reservoir. They are basically an oversized version of the bottles.

Something like these;

I'm sure I could have found a harness of some sort. :nod:

[Oldfart]

A very short shower?

Didn't they have showers at Circus Circus.

[Lilith]

[Oldfart]

Doesn't sound like fun.

[Lilith]

No, but some times it is not unexpected.

[Oldfart]

And the smile part?

[PantyFanatic]

[Lord Snow]

Our finale for our fireworks show actually worked. Only two mortars didn't go off out of 3 rockets, 6 mortars, and two large fountains all tied together with 40 feet of extra cord. Also, once again, nobody was injured beyond burned fingers from sparks/lighters.

[Oldfart]

"A package arriving up-over yesterday has me smiling."

Just as well it was sent Air Mail.

My friend whose hubby died, is a ditz and the obit proves it :p

[Lord Snow]

If it were ditzes we wouldn't have good jokes.

[Oldfart]

Huh?

[Lord Snow]

I meant, if it weren't* for ditzes we wouldn't have good jokes. Apparently, even I can be subjected to the occasional blond moment.

[Oldfart]

And the bastards who'll point it out every time.

Exit stage right, evil chuckle rises from the stalls.

I read Lil's answer and was going to post "I figured it was some kind of an ass-pain", then I see there is another page and flip over to find ^^^. I guess great minds do think alike ............. and ours do too.

Yesterday's visitors.

[Oldfart]

[PantyFanatic]

[Oldfart]

Yes, the F-15s were on short finals.

A COD came through a little earlier as well, but I missed getting a pic.

[PantyFanatic]

Really great pics. :thumbs:



(somebody has a lot of pull to get those positions. ;) )

[Oldfart]

Nah PF, across the road from the western end of the runway, the jets are only 3-400ft off the deck. A comfy chair, a couple of icewater bottles and the canvas hat you liked is all the pull you need.

Getting my tuning machines for the lap steel project in the mail today - FINALLY!

Took 2 tries for the carrier to get them here, but they're here.

I ran the tracking # earlier in the afternoon, said they were out for delivery. Of course anti - cipation means that the mail comes later than it's ever done on a Saturday; then, the first trip to to mailbox had me intending to post this over in "what pissed you off today". Got a 2nd smile when I realized that, as a courier, yeh, I've done that :o

[PantyFanatic]

Last night I talked to a friend that soon should be seeing the Sydney Opera House.

[AZRedHot]

Ran across this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ysmLA5TqbIY) yesterday. This one goes out to PF, though he may not like it. :kisser: Depends on how much he loves his city.

[ShadowDancer]

Watching my daughter react to the meds in the "kiddie cocktail" she got in preparation for her surgery this morning...her eyes got real big, she started off at nothing really and started going "he..hehe...hehehe...he..." She was SO out of it! Oh, and she's only 4.

I'll come back later.

PS The dumpster wasn't hurt at all. :shrug:

[sodaklostsoul]

Quitting the job I just started on the 15th of this month. That place was a joke!!!!!!! Couldn't stand being there. I would rather be broke and live with my sis......oh wait, I do. :)

Interesting link and interesting grouping of links. :) In that AN 225........... a five tone bridge crane?!?! Are you kidding me? :faint:



I smiled at a new toy that I didn't need now but came past right. :nod: LOL

[Oldfart]

The An124 (there's only one An225) has four electric winches on tracks in the hold, each rated at 5 tons. I have seen one pick up a 14 ton shipping container off a truck and manoeuvre it to a specific lockdown station. It's an amazingly versatile aircraft, which is why the largest hirer of them today is the US military.

[PantyFanatic]

And it all moves high through the air. :wobbly:

Not like Boeing's project Pelican.

Sounds like a case where it's better to smile than cry.

Are you caught between two anuses ( more correctly, ani) or against them?

[Lilith]

I smile because neither of them stands a chance.

[PantyFanatic]

Only because they never confronted you before. I could have told them they have a better chance of sandpapering a bobcat's ass in a telephone booth than messing with you. :doorpeek:

[Oldfart]

Is this from experience? What grade of sandpaper? By hand or with a power sander?

Mayhem leaves for work every morning at 5, but before he leaves for work, even if he is running late, he takes the time to come back to our bed and snuggle me, wake me gently, and tell me he loves me.

that makes me smile every day :)

Surprised you have a telephone?

I hadn’t heard from him in over 15 years! It seems he’s a neighbor of AZRedHot, he now hangs his hat in Phoenix; I guess he longs for the Riyadh climate. And talk about the Old Boy network! He got my cell phone number from a friend of his who knows a close friend of mine.

[Oldfart]

. . . who knows the uncle of the man who changes the tyres on the delivery van which took the refrigerator to the cousin of the man who reads the power meter . . . .

Who was the person who said it was only six degrees of separation?

Naked fat ladies. It's like being gently cleansed of all kinds of negativity around bodies.

Not fat, pleasantly plump.

[Oldfart]

Get back on the message, LS.

All naked ladies.

[Lord Snow]

I didn't say that all ladies weren't sexy, or shouldn't be naked. I just prefer the terminology "pleasantly plump" to "fat". After all, aren't all naked ladies pleasant to the eye?

[Oldfart]

Yep.

[AZRedHot]

I didn't say that all ladies weren't sexy, or shouldn't be naked. I just prefer the terminology "pleasantly plump" to "fat". After all, aren't all naked ladies pleasant to the eye?

Your preference, Lord Snow, while common, is by no means universal. I've got no problem with the word "fat," and there are plenty more where I came from. It's a descriptor, just like the word "tall," "brunette," or "funny," all of which I am, as well. I don't need euphemisms, even if others do, because I stopped drinking the cultural Kool-aid that being fat is wrong, bad, something to be ashamed of or apologize for, or any other negative thing we've put on it. It's just one way of having a body; we've all got 'em, and they're all different, and that's really, truly OK. And I was looking at some fine fat ladies (http://myhappyfat.tumblr.com/) who are totally fine with being called fat, because, hey! they are! :) And I know I'm not alone in enjoying that--I know there are a few Pixies who look at and enjoy my photos BECAUSE I'm fat, not in spite of it.

[Oldfart]

I look at you because you're you.

[Lord Snow]

I have to agree with Oldfart on that one AZ. I look at you because you are nothing more than one sexy AZ. I don't have a problem with the word fat. I prefer the pleasantly plump term simply because it's more fun to say (I love alliteration), and because I will shamelessly flatter any and all women I enjoy being around. Besides, fat is just to short a word for me to use around (unfortunately) quite a few people who don't have the extensive vocabulary that I enjoy and it's fun to watch their heads tilt to the side when I use odd phrases.
