Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for May 06, 2012

Awe. Fergus why don’t you just play hookey.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang

FYI: There were NINETY SEVEN comments posted yesterday, most of which occurred after I went to bed. This has GOT to stop, people!!!! It’s gonna take me all morning now to catch up! I am so-o-o-o missing this nightly party and I am feeling really left out. And, to top it off, I missed the super moon last night! I reminded everyone else….and I forgot!!!

Poor Fergus….and he’s got his first-day-back-to-school-outfit on too……!

Good morning, Lonewolf, cleokaya, puppybreath, Dry, sugie, Citizen GROG!, x_Tech, JP Steve, noicantspell, nighthawks, Shika BOOM , Greg Trail, chefwen, JKissmya, mightaswellbe, IMudd, serenasakitty, Lingee Whiz, Peabody-Martini, Saucy 1121 and CDers everywhere!

@Dry

I was searching for a picture to go with the couch potato cat you posted last night, and I came across something really scary….

…oh, the skeleton isn’t scary. It’s that, apparently, one can still gain weight eating the wrong foods long after death!!!!!

…and, here’s a picture of how my crayons always looked the second day after I got them…

No party for me tonight. Back to work tomorrow. I’ll be looking to go to bed almost as early as you tonight, StelBel.

Good Morning Everyone!Happy, Happy, Happy!!!its taken a couple of days but i just realised that Fergus has ben wearing a school uniform…

when I was twenty one,it was a verrrry good year……(think Sinatra)

and , of course, the haunting final verse:

but now the days grow short. I’m in the autumn of the yearand now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegsfrom the brim to the dregs and it poured sweet and clearit was a very good year

Never was a fan of Sinatra – Nancy, maybe, with her boots made for walkin’.

Oh my! I don’t know if I’m up for such a heart wrenching scene! Fergus, mom will get her going shortly, and then your job is going to really get tough!

I’m just checking in because I promised I would and to let you know that, no, I haven’t fallen off of the ladder…..yet. I’m still in the midst of painting the ceilings and boy! did I hurt last night after I finished for the day. My neck and shoulders just felt strained and I ached.

Not used to the back and forth over my head with the roller or paint brush and my muscles were asking me "What are you THINKING! “Hush up” I told them, I have to finish what I started so just get used to it until I’m done.

I’m behind schedule. Picked up the paint yesterday morning and that means a 15 mile one way trip to Ace Hardware. Got home, opened the can, thought “Hmmmm, that looks a little more yellow thatn it should”, but started to apply it. I thought maybe after it dries it wouldn’t look quite so yellowish. Nope, still yellow after it dried. Fortunately it was in my closet so it wasn’t a really big deal but I didn’t want to use it in the rest of the house.

Back to the paint store to tell them they didn’t get the color to match the paint chip sample that I had picked out. That meant I had to clean up, change clothes and try to get myself to look reasonably “put together” as my mom used to say. Had to wait for 30 minutes for the paint mixer person to get back to mix another can (this time they got it right) and I drove home to begin another round.

Back to work! Have a happy stress free Sunday All! StelBel, Dry, Sugie, Citizen GROG, Cleokaya, Lonewolf, x_Tech, JP Steve, Greg Trail, Saucy 1121, noicant, Nighthawks, Shikamoo, chefwonderoo, Jkissmya, mightaswellbe, IMudd, serenaskitty, Lingee Whiz, Peabody-Martini and …..Hey! ALL you guys!

You are tiring me out puppybreath. LOL

It is a beautiful sunnymorningg today, the first in what seems like ages.Good morning to the Citizens of Dog.

puppybreath, you make me want to go back to bed. Maybe I can get some rest for both of us.

Just a quick hello, going to my sister-in-law for breakfast,YUM

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo,Lonewolf, StelBel, puppybreath, noicantspell & all CDers out there.

Oh poor Fergus! Parting is such sweet sorrow!

Good almost afternoon, Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

nighthawks always loved that song, but StelBel is right, the last verses sure are a “BUMMER”!

StelBel, as I posted last night I think, and as Lingee Whiz said, nothing special really! I was expecting one like I saw last year, took up the WHOLE SKY when it rose. This was just a bigger full moon, high in the sky. Quite a letdown!

Thanks sugie! Now I’m hungry! LOL!

I just had breakfast, but now I’m hungry again.

Good afternoon to all you lounging and working CD kids on this fine Sunday. Just got finished unpacking and cleaning up after the little man’s first campout. We went with the boy scouts and had loads of fun. They got to play in the Big River, see Missouri’s largest petroglyphs site and got to be crazy little boys for the weekend. The only down side was It took till about 2 am to finally cool down. I knew we were in trouble when it was 71 Sat. morning at 7am with 93% humidity. We were sweaty messes just packing up the car to go camping. I kept thinking this can’t be the beginning of May. Oh well that’s life in global warming I guess. Off to tend my sunburn now, the Aloe is calling my name..@StelBel The moon really wasn’t as big as I was expecting. It looked slightly larger, but not as super as in the past.

Fergus, you are such a loyal doggie to Maggie.

Dry, I commented on your reclining cat last night!Grog I replied to you about the party animal.StelBel I replied to you too many times to count. noicant, thank you for your kind words last night. I replied.

Shika, if I’m lucky I get 7 hours between the waking moments. Very often I will only get 3 hours on week days, so I tend to try to compensate on the weekends.

Shika and I saw your reply last night and figured you knew I was talking about you after reading the thread.

Do you get up at 4AM Shika?

StelBel always read the Buckets, but not the comments all the time, guess I better go check! GEEZ WOMAN IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIME! Would look for an appropriate LOL emoticon, but not time, so this will have to do: LOL!

I saw the moon at about 4:30 this morning. It didn’t look that big to me either. I remember some big moons when I was living in Montreal. And some big sunrises when living in Edmonton.

Jkissmya, One of the best weather days I ever had was in Baltimore, we went there on vacation so my oldest could attend Otacon, an Anime convention held at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the largest Anime convention in the US. It was 80 degrees at 10 am, cloudy and overcast, humid, I LOVED THAT WEATHER! It was a fun trip for the family, and like I said, that was my kind of weather! We then went to Camden Yards, and of course everything at the Inner Harbor and Fells Point! Of course that Saturday, the day it was 80 at 10 AM, later in the afternoon, What thunderstorms! Beautiful lightening strikes over the Harbor! Dangerous I know, but beautiful none the less!

I prefer 85 and as dry as a sun-soaked board or as dry as a Hawkeye Pierce martini.

Shika, I replied to you @ Overboard.

@ Shikamoo

Hi! I’m still here, too!

Yeah, yeah, that must be it. It had me scratching my head. That was a little too early in the morning for me to remember – unless it was really clever. Then of course there’d be no memory at all.

Gee, Dry! Was it something I said, lol! You keep missing me.

@ Shika (hate it when the REPLY doesn’t work!!)

The Buckets is a comic strip. That’s the full name of it. About a family named……………..the Buckets!! Good one! Anyway, read the first two comments of today. Beviak , then me.

Exactly my point, Shika. I get up a little after 4 in the morning, read a few comics and get ready for work. When I leave, the traffic is almost as bad as 8 AM. But at least it gets me in to work in 35 minutes. If I waited until 6:30-7 it might be closer to 7. But I have a feeling the maniacs are out earlier.

@ Dry

“StelBel always read the Buckets, but not the comments all the time, guess I better go check! GEEZ WOMAN IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIME! Would look for an appropriate LOL emoticon, but not time, so this will have to do:LOL!”……………………………………………………………………..IS there an appropriate emoticon??? Can’t think of what it would be. What would the search perameters be? lolBut, you’re right! It IS past my bedtime, and as soon as this last game loads up, I’ll be headed to bed (after checking the sky one more time.)

4 a.m.? Weeell….no….I may wake up at 4 a.m., 5 a.m., 6 a.m., but get up?? You must be out of your cotton picking mind! lol So what’s your point, lol

As if I don’t know. ;-)

How did your post sneak below mine? I slaves over that thing for about 15 minutes!

Wait! I now see it twice!

@Shika

“Yep!”…………………………………………………………Yep! ……what? I’m so confused. I can see now that I can’t keep up with this fast-paced night life here!!! LOL

@ GROG!

I see it twice, too! Oh, the confusion……………

LOL! Keep hitting that refresh button, StelBel

And here I am in Houston where I’ll be anything but a sun-dried tomato.

FELLOW BABY Just watched “A Commercial Break” WKRP Cincinnati! I’M AS HAPPY AS A HOG IN SLOP!

Watching “Who is Gordon Sims” now!

AGAIN:

@ GROG! Thanks for the reminder — I keep forgettin’!

Fellow Baby what do you want? The Silver Sow Award?

Shika, you may also benefit by hitting that refresh button more often. But I’ll be going soon enough – and when I do, I’ll let you know.

OK, I can’t even find the moon in the sky! What gives? The stars are out, so it’s not like it’s overcast… I give up. I just wasn’t destined to see this, and like everyone else, I’d probably be disappointed anyway.

Is it all original content, Fellow Baby? Or is it dubbed with modern day music and cut to ribbons for commercials.

?

I’m still here Grog.

I will try to be as refreshing as I can be. :-)

@ Shika I know! What gives? We’ve got a few clouds, but I can see stars! NO MOON!!! I’m out on Main St in my PJ’s looking up in the sky like a crazy lady and….NO MOON!

Well as of 9:02PM there is complete darkness on the edge of this town. No moon to be found anywhere.

Almost time for me to tucky-uppy, Shika

And we know where Fellow Baby is, that Swine!

@ GROG!

as I said, “crazy lady” !!!!! LOL Ernie thinks I’m crazy because I have the mistaken perception that as long as I’m on our property, no one can see me (or should be looking!). How crazy is that?

And Good Night to both of you. I’m off to bed as well. Sweet dreams!!!!!

Grog did you see my reply at OB?

I’m not that crazy!

Do you really have to leave ‘thare’ at 7 AM Shika? Poor you! I’m not sure but I may have a morning meeting scheduled for that time. I better make sure I get in extra early!

And with that, I’d say it’s time for Groggy to tucky-uppy

Good night fellow Citizens

’Night, all!!

And yes I saw your reply, Shika Good night.

Wow! We broke 100 tonight! This is the 113th, though I don’t expect much more than that when I return tomorrow.

Why are you still up Grog? Don’t you have an early meeting or something? ;-)

SKIPPING OVER ALL THESE COMMENTS FOR NOW, WILL READ LATER!

STILL WATCHING WKRP IN CINCNNATI!
