20 minutes seems like a long time for a digital device to refresh. :001_huh:

Great idea, Brian! That place is impressive! :thumbup1:

Funny story for you:

I looked out into my backyard a bit ago. My FENCED yard, with gate CLOSED. And what do I find? A rather large dog that does not belong to me. Again. That dog is like Houdini. Apparently, he jumped over the low fence in his yard, went through his broken neighbor's fence, and dug a hole under mine.:nono: Have I mentioned that I have my own dog? And my dog does not like other dogs around our kids?

That sounds like a very dangerous situation, for your kids and your dog. What are you going to do to keep him out of your yard?

Well, for one, I filled the hole in that he dug and blocked that way. I will also be having a little chat. The owners are nice people, but their dog gets out way too much. It looks like he has one of those electronic fence things on his collar, but clearly it is not working. The dog itself is friendly, but I can't guarantee that our dog would be sociable when confronted with a strange dog.

Yes, it's very possible that your dog would be protective of your children and be aggressive against the other dog, when your dog is normally not aggressive. That could lead to kids jumping in to stop a dog fight and getting hurt. I hope you are able to get it corrected in a friendly way. It's the kind of situation that you don't want to find out what will happen, it's better to just not let it get there.

Agreed. I am not angry, but I am a bit... what's the word. Miffed, maybe? Irritated?

You have every right to be. As you said, this isn't the first time this has happened. You've been fortunate no one has been hurt. Yet. Rather than miffed or irritated, call it what it probably mostly is, you're feeling the need to be protective of your kids, and someone else's carelessness is exposing them to danger. That protective nature is a strong, parental feeling that I suspect your nice neighbor is soon going to feel the force of, and for good reason. Good luck! :thumbup1:

I hope she is having tea at the Empress:thumbup1:

She might, if not she's saving the experience for when we are both there. Apparently there was a pod of orcas near the ferry but they didn't surface.

On the upside, if necessary, we have a mutual friend that can be a go-between if necessary. In case we don't see eye-to-eye.

Interestingly, the news reporters here do have a tendency to over dramatize weather events. It is a running joke here. The actual situation is that most Houston area schools dismissed two hours early today, and will be closed tomorrow. This is being done on the forecast of the probability of 1 to 5 inches of freezing rain and snow. This morning, that was forecasted to start as early as 3 pm today. Now they've moved that back to start anytime between now and midnight. We don't have equipment to deal with ice or snow on the streets, and there are many people here who have never driven on ice and snow. It still seems amazing to me, having lived further north where we did get much snow throughout the winter and rarely shut down businesses and schools. I know it's hard for most of you to understand the mindset here. It's still kind of hard for me to understand it, and I've been here over 20 years. But I have only seen snow here a handful of times.

Now we had snow plows brought in to Dallas / Fort Worth from Amarillo for the first time that I can remember in my 47 years of living in Texas. This was done due to the Super Bowl being in the area since I have not seen this before as a major effort. We normally spread some sand and salt on major streets, but if you live in the country, you are out of luck. We will not spend money on incidences that happen only a couple of times every two to three years. So we shut down.

On the flip side, if those up north experienced what I and others experienced in the summer of 1980 (47 days straight of the temperature peaking well above 100 with moderate humidity no rain and 65% of the fresh water supply curtailed due to pump failures) then I wonder how well they would fare. Extreme heat is brutal even if you are prepared.

We didn't get the snow that was forecasted, but we did get freezing rain and now the streets and freeways have black ice, and it's not supposed to warm up too much today. Some folks tried to get out anyway, and now there are a few accidents in the news.

I am at home for day 4. More snow. It has snowed all night. Mr. Jack Rabbit has run from under my truck leaving his prints in the thick snow.

I was taught weather by a meteorologist who was my algebra teacher in junior high many years ago. He showed us some excellent tips that the modern meteorologists ignore. He was also a farmer and noted the behavior of his animals and was very good in augmenting the modern tools with the natural tools (animals and plants). He always reminded us that if a major layer of snow (not patches) stays on the ground for three days straight, it is almost a lead pipe cinch that it will snow and stick to the existing layer. On the high plains, which North Texas is at the lowest end of, the fronts roll through generally on a three day pattern carrying additional moisture. The fact that snow has not melted shows that the additional moisture will freeze before striking the ground.

Well the idiots on the local sports stations had a field day demonstratively promising that there would be no more snow to affect the game festivities. I knew something they choose not to understand or acknowledge. I am laughing at them while fondly remembering my late algebra teacher and what he said. About five to six more inches of snow has fallen last night and still going and is only now weakening.

I am thankful to Mr. Tynes who gave me and his students a competitive edge that has been appreciated years into the future.

I love stories about great teachers. I'll share one.

When I was a high school senior, taking the minimal number of hard courses I could and still graduate, I was in "study hall", with my girlfriend, doing anything but studying. A teacher who I liked, but was considered kind of geeky/quirky (for example, he wore a blue, short-sleeved jump suit to school) told me and my girlfriend we needed to come to his class instead of study hall, and learn how to use office machines. For some reason, we agreed. Probably because I liked his quirkiness, and him. I had already pre-enlisted, and left after graduating for the Army. I went to college after the military, and my interest in business, from that brief exposure to office machines, led me to accounting, and eventually a career in marketing and business development. That was nearly four decades ago. And yes, I fortunately had the opportunity to thank Mr. Bromlow for taking an interest in an unmotivated student. Oh, and that girlfriend, now my wife, and I are working on four decades too, and yes, she's way better with computers than I am.

[a_bit_crafty]

Well, apparently Crafty is getting ready to take out a contract on her neighbor's dog.

Don't be silly. It's not the dog's fault. The owner, on the other hand... :shifty:

Did you ever figure out a way to make it to Cambridge Chemists? Good night and safe travels.

I was pondering that today as well as a stop by Coney Island to get a Nathan's hotdog, since I dropped my trailer in eastern Long Island and was bobtailing back to NJ. I figured I had a better chance at maneuvering that way, however time was working against me and neither stop was possible.

Happy Birthday Crafty (but not until Monday)!

[OldSaw]

Pfft. No. And only one rise, if you want to know.

I don't like baked puffin.




Welcome to the Crafty thread.

Um, happy birthday.






























Is it on Monday?

[GDCarrington]

Then what about Stan The Man?

Is that really why he left? :001_huh::001_huh::001_huh:

[OldSaw]

Is that really why he left? :001_huh::001_huh::001_huh:

Wow! Kinda makes the whole chaps thing seem pretty tame.

[Intrigued]

Then what about Stan The Man?

I don't see it. While he certainly is a bit of a tight a.., wizen little prune is my mental image of him (Stan The Man :incazzato).

What about our resident man of steel? :biggrin:

[GDCarrington]

I don't see it. While he certainly is a bit of a tight a.., wizen little prune is my mental image of him (Stan The Man :incazzato).

Any image of Stan The Man would be "mental" whether seen or imagined! :lol::lol::lol:

Well, it's about time you offered up a suggestion. Man of Steel, now we're getting somewhere.

Well, wasn't that kind of him.

Um, happy birthday.

Is it on Monday?
No. It's your imagination.



Excuse me while I now sing a rousing rendition of "Perfect Isn't Easy."

...Excuse me while I now sing a rousing rendition of "Perfect Isn't Easy."

That's similar to the Czar's motto: "Perfect Isn't Easy... It's Cheesy"

[Intrigued]

Well, wasn't that kind of him.

:blink: Actually he is unaware that he sent it. :blushing:



No. It's your imagination.

:frown2:


Excuse me while I now sing a rousing rendition of "Perfect Isn't Easy."

No, no it isn't. In fact perfect is darn near impossible unless of coarse I'm perfectly bad at something. Then that's a kind of perfect isn't it? :blink::blink::blink:



Happy Birthday on Monday.

It's tempting not to post just to vex you. :biggrin1:
Don't make me fill your Inbox with Happy Birthday pms. Happy Birthday, Crafty!

Wait. It is in my power to stick you people in an endless loop. With great power comes great fun.
Yes, we're all here together to wish you Happy Birthday. :thumbup1:

We are always in a endless loop. You have just been pulled into the vortex!

That looks like a Happy Birthday to Crafty tangent!

But if we are all linked in the circle of life, then you all are getting sucked in with me. :lol:
Bingo! And Happy Birthday! :thumbup:

I'm sorry but Randy made me do this:
Happy Monday Birthday Crafty! :biggrin:
I know better, Intrigued. Nobody makes you do anything! You wished Crafty Happy Birthday only 'cause you wanted to. :thumbup1:


Happy Birthday on Monday Crafty! :tongue_sm
+1 more Happy Birthday!


I'll now post just to see the next color of Intrigue's post.
Intriqued does have a creative way of saying Happy Birthday to you, doesn't she? :thumbup1:


I was pondering that today as well as a stop by Coney Island to get a Nathan's hotdog, since I dropped my trailer in eastern Long Island and was bobtailing back to NJ. I figured I had a better chance at maneuvering that way, however time was working against me and neither stop was possible.
And don't forget to wish Crafty Happy Birthday while you are there.

Who's frozen metal butt are you sticking your tongue on?
Hmmm, I'm not sure how to work that in, butt, I'll still say ]Happy Birthday to Crafty. :thumbup1:

I'm glad you asked that question. I decided to leave that alone. Now Randy will have to clarify.
The explanation is really very interesting! Even fascinating! Butt, it's all about Crafty now, so for now I'll just say Happy Birthday! :thumbup1:

So you tie the pie to the puffin when you put it in the oven?
Am I the only one who started singing "...put da lime in da coconut..."? We should be singing Happy Birthday to Crafty instead.

Again I'm so sorry, but it's really all Randy's fault. :glare:
Happy Birthday, but not 'til Monday, Crafty! :skep:
Butt I only made a suggestion. It's not like anyone ever listens to me, anyway. Except when I asked ya'll to wish Crafty Happy Birthday! Way to go, TATers! :thumbup:

:happybday: :a50:
Nice, Dennis! Happy Birthday to Crafty with flare! :thumbup1:

Yes! Who's? :ciappa:
Again, that's for another time. Time now for another Happy Birthday!

Springs1 perhaps?
Maybe if we wished Springs1 Happy Birthday like we are wishing Crafty Happy Birthday, ........., boggles the mind to think about it. :001_cool:

I wouldn't think so. With her fondness for extra sides of sauces, ribs and deep fried foods, "buns of steel" just do not come to mind. :blink:
No. The only other thing that comes to mind is to say Happy Birthday to Crafty :thumbup:

...Welcome to the Crafty thread.
Hey, look who's here - SURPRISE! Happy Birthday, Crafty! :thumbup1:

*Hmmm, better check the mail again for my invitation. Or maybe my voice-mail? I'm sure it was just a mail problem that I never got any of the other invitations to any of the other TAT get-togethers.

She's back in Vancouver now but she quite enjoyed Victoria, she went to the bug museum which was her favorite part of the trip. She also had breakfast at a place that does eggs benedict with cornbread instead of an English muffin. She stayed with an artist friend of ours so I'm sure she got an interesting tour,

Maybe it's that folks with Winter Birthdays are inevitably drawn to the splendor of the Penguin. :w00t: :w00t:
It was either that or synchronized swimming. We couldn't figure out how to do that on-line? :huh:

...and Happy Synchronized Winter Birthday tomorrow, Crafty! :thumbup1:


Holy Moly!
Happy Birthday and belated birthdays and birthdays yet to come to everyone!
:thumbup:
+1 more Happy Holy Moly Birthday tomorrow, Crafty! :thumbup:


...Sir, we live in a democracy without a monarch!
Yes, but after watching The King's Speech, it might be fun to have a little of the pomp and circumstance without the usual monarchaic power.

And don't forget, Crafty, this would be a good movie to go see to celebrate your Happy Democratic Birthday! :thumbup1:

She's back in Vancouver now but she quite enjoyed Victoria, she went to the bug museum which was her favorite part of the trip. She also had breakfast at a place that does eggs benedict with cornbread instead of an English muffin. She stayed with an artist friend of ours so I'm sure she got an interesting tour.
The bug museum sounds interesting. I don't remember hearing about that, but we were only there a few hours.

Crafty, you could consider flying to Vancouver and riding the ferry to Victoria to visit the bug museum for your Happy Bug-Free Birthday tomorrow? :wink2:

He was in charge of music.

Satchmo's playing and singing was awesome! :thumbup1:

Maybe he recorded Happy Birthday, so we could play it for Crafty tomorow? :001_smile

Have a Happy Warm Linguistic Synchronized Winter Democratic Holy Moly Bug-Free Musical Birthday tomorrow, Crafty! :thumbup:

<good grief>

That's like "Ride of the Valkyries", but with penguins right?

[brianw]

Again we need the "Fun penguin facts".........

Adult Ad&#233;lie penguins can move up to about 3.9 kph (2.4 mph) when waddling.
Adult Emperors penguins have a maximum waddle speed of about 2.8 kph (1.7 mph)

Are penguins intelligent?
I'm afraid to say that penguins won't be solving algebra equations any time soon. They're probably not on the bright side of the classroom either. Experiments have shown that penguins are capable of basic Pavlovian training (e.g., reward given for following a simple command), but not much beyond that. They have been trained to stop on command and perform some of the simpler tasks domesticated dogs can do. That's about it. They're not very intelligent.

Ride of the Valkyries....I think not

If penguins are dumb, how do they write so many books?

[soapbox]

Howdy folks!

I see much has transpired on B&B since I last darkened the doors of this place.

Everything's fine in my world -- just very busy, and hard to justify the leisure time on B&B compared to the leisure time with the kiddos, wife, and honey-do list.

Glad to see many new faces in TAT. That's reassuring that the best behaviors and practices of B&B (or at least the Clown House) are carried on.

Happy Birthday, Crafty! I have pictures of my boy in that hat you sent, but man, he outgrew it already! Nine months old and 22 muscular pounds of Soapbox Junior. Little Soapbox, too, continues to delight and amaze, of course. She's taking swimming lessons and learning how to use the pint-sized "'puter" that Rich so graciously sent us.

I've begun shaving with straight razors almost every day, and the parents' soap business continues to expand. We've made one or two improvements in the shave soap, but as with other developmental products, it had to take a back seat during the holiday season; they had to make a bunch of soap!

I'm having a tooth extracted today, so this afternoon I'll likely be back in the Clown house (and possibly on some fun drugs). Heck, I won't be much for talking, so typing it is.

More later!

[davecmu]

Welcome home, Soapbox

I don't know anything about the extra credit, but I'm sure you will enjoy it much more! :thumbup1:

Hey Buddy! I've been meaning to email you for the longest time. Sometimes, I'm just too caught up in other things. :blush:Glad to hear that you and the family are well (the kids are adorable!) and that you've found some time to post in the CH.

I migrated South for a bit.... a few days in the Caribbean to get the ol' tail feathers back in shape. lol. Yes, I remembered the sun screen.

What's new on the soap making / shave soap front?

[Barber-Eile]

Hi Soapbox!
Them sure are some cute wee sprogs ya got there!

[jakespoppy]

Howdy folks!.......More later!
Howdy soapbox! :thumbup1:

No, my friend, that day was 183 years ago. Today is the anniversary of the day he was born on. :001_tt2:

Tooth extraction went very well. Tooth didn't break up. Novocain still working, so no fun drugs yet. Kept tooth (ewwww), but for good reasons: one of Mom and Dad's friends (who re-labels and sells GMS bar and liquid soap to dentists and doctors, and who rents some space at the GMS plant), is also working on re-cycling amalgam fillings, to extract the mercury and silver from them. Well, this tooth has such a filling, and he and dad are working on a methodology to separate the amalgam from the PETE (coke bottle / polyester fibers) fabric that traps the tooth/fragments/filling. I figure they'll need a test tooth or so. (ewwwww)

Didn't realize that the Czar was approaching 20,000 posts. That's...well, pretty soon he'll have to switch to signed 16-bit integers to prevent a buffer overflow, but I suspect that VBulletin uses long (4-byte / 32-bit) integers to track post counts.

Remember: this is Soapbox *not* on drugs. Sad.

Hello Soapbox! :w00t:

It's really nice to hear from you again. The little soapboxes are looking :001_wub::001_wub:

:blush: thanks! Glad to see you, and everyone who's still around! My kids, wife, and job naturally must supercede the B&B, but I didn't mean to just drop B&B entirely.

(I do see that I lost my "Wiki" badge, but that's understandable too, if disappointing.)

[GDCarrington]

Howdy folks!

I see much has transpired on B&B since I last darkened the doors of this place.

Everything's fine in my world -- just very busy, and hard to justify the leisure time on B&B compared to the leisure time with the kiddos, wife, and honey-do list.

Glad to see many new faces in TAT. That's reassuring that the best behaviors and practices of B&B (or at least the Clown House) are carried on.

More later!

Welcome back! :thumbup1:

At least he is happy.


Well "On Golden Pond" was the top grossing movie the weekend of Feb 7, 1982. It easily beat out a Harrison Ford flick titled, "Indiana Jones & The Raiders Of The Lost Ark".

That;s only because OGP was Henry Fonda's last movie.


HBD to all the BD peeps.

[Swampfox]

Howdy folks!

Hey, Jesse! The only place I see you at these days is FB. Glad to see you over here again.


SWMBO showed me, It's Jules Verne's birthday!

Good to see someone else besides me knew about that. I would have shared my enthusiasm at work, but those guys don't get that kind of stuff.


But isn't he *um, how to put this delicately* DEAD? :001_huh:

Not if you have a TARDIS.

Actually, I don't think I lost anything, but I'm not really sure. I don't pay too much attention since I'm not a "high poster" like some, I'm just a little curious what "adjustments" were made, not because of post count, but just wondering what happened?

Hey! Yeah, I know, I have to post kid pics on FB or else grandparents get testy, so I haven't quite given that up yet.


Glad to hear it all went OK.

Yeah, I haven't even dug into the Lortab yet; Aleve has been handling the soreness pretty well, though I had to get up at 5 AM to take another dose. I may start ingesting something besides liquids today (though, my next beer is D minus 7).

[RichGem]

Thanks all for the congratulations. I literally could not have done it without you. A fine bunch you all are.
