Shooooobie Doooobie Dooooo--HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS ???? :))
Well, it's about time! The 'Hawks gave me another heart attack yesterday. Damn near lost to an 0/7 team. Whew!
Hey, hey! That was MY Bucs the 'Hawks trampled ... oh ... well ... maybe I shouldn't be so quick to stand up about that. Anyway, we certainly beat the beeheysoos out of ourselves this Sunday. But that IS how we roll in the Dungeon of Sod0m & Mechanics ~_~
One of the biggest airports in the world is in lock-down.
I've been to LAX. They should leave it locked down.
lol
Do you not find it strange,that President Obozo can be briefed on a shooting at LAX-yet was NEVER told about Benghazi,Fast & Furious,ObamaCare,etc. Total Bull Shibosckie-( that's Polish for Bull Poooooooopie ). Hope your doing Well.
Am doing well out here in these parts! Thanks for the query! It's actually a glorious, beautiful day ~_~
I can't change the channel on TV without seeing the LAX news. It's EVERYwhere!
You speak like leader of the tealiban.
Remember al the big events fumbling president Raygun was never told about? Oh, and how about all the How quickly repugs forget. here is one of his famous quotes that might jog ur pea brain.
"I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon."
And let's not even try to remember all the BIG things prez shrub claimed to no know told him about. Not to mention the lies he fed the nation. If there was pictures of criminal politicians in the dictionary, he and vp darth vader faces would be there. Shrub, the "what, me worry" prez. sheetz, here is something he always threw in our faces
"My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions."
You are an idiot. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, you really are!
We need to change the locks on the door in here
Yep change of the locks is needed, especially to keep peeps inflamed with their political points of view out of a food blog.
And another nutbag comes out from under his rock!
You really need to get back on your meds. Maybe start going back to your group sessions also.
Thanks to my Bro's.....but I think I can handle this...since I started it,On A Food Blog. If You will read the Rules of the CK,this is a place to chat about anything,NOT related to Food Articles. Now, since the DemoCraps are running scared,afraid of losing their jobs by voting for this Bill,and NOT allowing Republicans to vote for or against it...It's on You now. This Bill should have been brought to a vote by the American Citizens,Not One Party against another. Now,as the Rats are scurrying to save their jobs in the Senate,can YOU NOT see why The American People are Pizzed? Probably NOT. The LIES are getting OLD....and WE The People Have NO Leadership in OUR Beloved Country. It's ON YOU DemoCraps.....
what what? what are you talking about?
First off, you and (not really the) Truth are the first to attack anyone else outside your circle for making a political comment here. Don't believe me or do you have the oldtimers disease? Or is it you just remember the things you want to remember.
certainly you and your buddies have forgotten the repug led government shut down – please everyone forget that fiasco, no the repugs can't own up to that frag. what teabagger led this? Oh yea, someone you probably voted for, ted cruz. i'm surprised no one asked for his birth certificate because he isn't the typical repug cracker.
And Which bill do you speak of? One that was passed by both seats of congress and signed by the president? isn't that how bills are supposed to get passed into law? not according to Cruz, who thinks laws can be put into affect using political terrorism.
And lets not forget the house spent most of their time and effort writting and passing bills that would eliminate or defund obama care. is that what you refer to? obama care. if you don't like that then maybe you'd prefer the affordable health act.
btw i ain't no democrap nor do i associate w/ repulicans and certainly not with the teabagiban. i call the shots as they really are. and you, must be wearing palin's glasses because you seem to be living in a fantasy.
As I said before, This Bill was Only Passed by The DemoCrapic Senate,behind closed Doors. You obviously don't remember Mummy,Nancy Pelosi saying...We have to vote on it first...to see what's in it. Now you see it and you continue to run from it. Ohhh,We didn't know that was in there.....Read it AzzHat. It's your Bill,and your Head BlockHead signed it into Law.
Azzhat?!! I know you are but what am I. seriously, i rubber, your glue what ever you call me bounces off and sticks to you. you even argue like a typical teabagger, seriously. Where do you keep your copy of Palin's latest book? Is it right there on top of your new testament?
you sir should review your facts because your memory is obvious controlled by repuglican propaganda. Where do you get your facts, from a comic book?
I do remember the whole Republican party getting behind Romney and his speeches about affordable health care, you know he wanted to set one up similar the one he started when he was governor? Or is that thought too painful for you to remember?
I do remember when repugs were asked to comment on the affordable health care act not one of them could, some even saying they hadn't read it and no interest in doing so -yeah, that's some representation there. The party of NO.
Take this one step further just why weren't their enough repugs in congress to fail the bill? Because the majority of the US saw them as the miserable liars and do nothings that they really are. And guess what? the US has been reminded by the repug tea-hadist shutdown of what a bunch of low down yellow bellied political terrorists they've turned into.
Ohhh My, Your waiting on me to throw out the Race Card...It ain't gonna Happen. Your DemoCrapic Party is Falling Apart,as well as ObamaCare,which was ONLY passed by The Democratic Party,in the Senate. Yeah,Your Party is too,Chicken Crap to put a Vote to the American People. Talk to Hairy Reid..
BTW, You now have 9 Democraps pushing for a Delay of this Bill....Why is That.....
Well big boy, something is better than nothing. and so far the party of no, the repug tea-hadists, have no alternative. Why? because the scum of the repug party is sucking on the teats of the health industry.
The affordable health care act is a law, its funded and repugs are silently using it.
It isn't going away, it will only get better.
And obviously without your over religious zealot politicians help. The repug's solution to national health care is a prayer.
You have nothing to argue about. Its all done, baked and served. You don't have to admit you and your repug party are losers because the gop leadership has admitted as much already. Hopefully they can turn it around and purge itself of the pietism. To bad the repugs can't purge itself of its over whelming idiocy.
The governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, do you remember him, the rising repug star? He stated this year "We've got to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults..."
That's not going to happen in the near future because there are too many people like you; there are an awful lot of stupid people and they need representation too.
Hey speaking of stupid how are you guys doing in bashing out the new budget? Or is that being saved for another government shutdown? Our forefathers envisioned a nation ruled by democratic law. The repugs have no need for the Constitution or laws and prefer to rule by terror and political terrorist tactics. Go team Tea-hadist!
I'm gonna go make some popcorn. This is gonna be good.
Wowwwww......LAX is coming back to life but I never thought I'd unwittingly start a hair pulling contest just by making what I thought was a reasonable, and simple post!
Never Fear My Darli'.....There is some Bad Acid being passed around, kinda like Woodstock.
Woodstock.....that name sounds so familiar....
Coffee enimas are the way to go!
Talk to AleeD when she gets in...
High colonics are not performed in the dungeon due to the specialized equipment required (had to make room for the Cold Stone as it is). However, Sir Biddle is the chief cook 'n' bottle washer in the bugg3ry department. Please see him for supplies & participation in that, um, area.
Happy Friday everyone! Had lots of monsters, ghosts and ghouls last night. I had fun scaring the kids:)
There's one kid in my neighborhood whose father is an engineer, and designed a CFL costume for him that actually lights up. Third year in a row he dressed as this. I am surprised the kid is not bored with it.
I'm willing to bet the dad makes him wear it 'cause he designed it.
Good point. I don't know him well, but he may be a tree hugging, bunny h@mping liberal...
*like* the tree huggin' 'n bunny thumpin' reference! Anyone heard or *seen* RH?? Hope he's OK...last I heard he was in San Antonio...
I think he posted something this morning – under his P3n!sCabesa moniker.
YOU may cancel the Silver Alert-I'm still in W. VA-now waiting on paperwork. It's funny that More Truck Drivers haven't gone Postal at some of these Food Warehouses. I had a 4:00 p.m appointment yesterday afternoon...pulled in the lot at 2:30 and sat in the dock door until 9;00 a.m. this morning when they finally started unloading the freight. Now here's the kicker....these AzzHats get a 15 minute break every hour on the hour....have only 2 Bean counters to check in the freight and it is now going on 2 and 1/2 hrs. waiting for my paper work. GRRRRRRRR!!!!! On the Bright side...it's Friday.
Glad to know everyone is present and accounted for! I am soooo glad I'm not traveling today, hope to scoot out a little early and start the weekend.
Dude, I just want to give a shout out to you and all the truckers that keep this country going. Without you guys, it would all come to a screeching halt. I salute you!
You may now entertain yourself electronically.

Was listening to the Bob and Tom show about this on the way to work. Funny segment.
Didn't catch this earlier –
Talk to AleeD about being electronically entertained.
BOOM!
Oh damn.....just...wow.
Hi, just dropping in for a quick hello before running off to the next to-do. Crazy, crazy week here at work and otherwise. Happy Halloween, everyone!
If you're interested in what people are saying about the food stamp cutback, you can read the comments here:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/30/opinion/aiken-food-stamp-cuts/index.html
You all are going to make fun of me, I know,.....but I loathe and detest halloween. yuck.
Yep-we are. Only the most awesome holiday there is.
BOO! B!tches!
Nevertheless..................erk!
Don't feel bad Darlin...I can take it or leave it myself...
Well THANK you! ~_~
Appreciate the similar sentiment.
Good afternoon everyone! How's the candy intake?
I rode the bus today next to Raggedy Ann. She actually looked pretty hawt, as a matter of fact.
Zero for me so far. I'm holding off 'til tonite when the smell of Hershey's overwhelms the leather perfume from my bustier & thigh-hi's.
Oh.....damn.....!!!! I wanna trick or treat at your house.
That is an everyday occurrence at Casa AleeD...Has nothing to do with Halloween...
There are only 2 differences on Halloween Night:
1. No socially required coverage is necessary when I open the front door.
2. All the kiddies are welcome to my treats of the chocolate variety. Well ... turth™ be told, there's nothing "vanilla" about the other 364 days of the year, but you get my drift. ~_~
"Daddy, why do you want to keep going back to that house with the lady in the unusual outfit???"
Well, this was a fun little addition to my day...
One of my favorite tenants stopped me in the hall just now, and says "Can I tell you something?"...I said "Sure" thinking it was going to be something great. She looks me dead in the eye and says "You're going grey"...I just said thanks...
lol. I already have salt and pepper hair and I am only 32. I die it back to black after every hair cut except was too lazy after getting one yesterday. Sporting my young 30's 'do with a 50 yr old man's colors today – doesn't look bad at all. Better than going bald. It'll be going back to jet black after work today, though.
#winning
Hey, wear it PROUDLY!
Haha! Happened to me a long time ago. I may have salt and pepper, but I have a lot of it.
Found some nice sized bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers decorated in some deep red-in-color spices in the meat section yesterday. Instant mouth water. I did not buy as they were $8.99/lb which seemed a little steep for something I could make at a lot less cost than that. Guess what I'm making this weekend? =)
Modded. Forgot sp!ces is a naughty word.
Ohhhhh,I've got Friends in Low Places....
It is with the heaviest Heart that I need to tell My Family of the passing of ODIE-or as I called him....The ODSTER. It was Christmas 1999 when Odie was found in an old barn, cold and shivering from the Washington winter. His New Mom scooped him up and held him close as she has done for the next 14 years. Odie was a Party Animal...and The Coolest Cat in the California Hood. You knew you where " In " when you received an Invite to an ODIE party. He could always be found spread out on his back while enjoying the Cali sunshine in the backyard chase lounge...surrounded by the Feline Females.
Odie....that little Black and Tan Cocker Spaniel barking at you with the endless wagging tail will show you around your New Home.....endless Bacon treats and plenty of watering spots.
RIP LION KING-December 1999--October 28,2013.
What a lovely tribute...I can almost see him. So sorry for your loss.
What a lucky cat to have you as family. Sending so much love and sympathy your way.
Thank you my friend...I miss the little guy terribly but glad to know WD will be watching out for him. May Odie find a warm blanket and endless cat treats... ((((HUGS))))
Your Welcome.....After seeing many pictures of Odie,I could always tell he was Loved by a Special person. Your memories will get you through this.....though I know how tough it is at this time.
Sorry to hear this, I lost my kitty earlier this year too. But they stay with you, in your heart forever!
Ah, my friend, you have my condolences on the loss of your little friend, WD.
I meant the little Lion King. Sorry about that.
=(
Sincere condolences bro'.
My sympathies and a big HUG to you. Been there, myself.
[:'-(
How are you holding up? You're on my mind.
Feeling much better today, I think the stress caught up with my yesterday and I was so very very tired. Thanks everyone for the thoughts.
Keep us posted please, and let us know if there is anything we can do. Thoughts and prayers are with you...!
Breathe, be kind to yourself and know that you're loved out here in the world.
Fearless Leader....I need to write an Obit in the Morning and I'm hoping that it will be received with NO ModBot interference. It's a little complicated,just one of our own. Thanks in advance.
Jim
Hey! And I am so sorry to hear. I cannot control the ModBot - there are thousands of words in there - but I'll check the pending queue the second I wake up and keep an eye.
Thank You..I'll keep it civil, so there is NO repercussions on the website. Have a Great Evening, Please.
You as well! It's lonely here with Sarah away. I realized I traveled 18 days in the last month and I've been missing my home - and all of you.
The Jonas Brothers have formally announced their breakup as a band. This is why you never do business with family.
Ayyyy-It's just Bidness....That's All.
Good morning all!
Good news: there's been an arrest. I'll be watching the next hearing tomorrow during lunch.
Great news!
Were there handcuffs? ~_~
(Seriously, congratulations. I hope it sticks.)
Looks like a promising place to get a dark, creamy, .... um, cup of coffee. ~_~
Good morning! Who'd thunk the Giants would be two games outta first place after the dismal start, but then again, the whole NFC East is stinky this year. Anyone want to go out on a limb with who will play in Super Frosty Bowl this year?
Denver versus Seattle.
Denver will win by a final score of 147 – 3
I've got money riding a late August guess of 49ers over Broncos, 45 pts combined.
2 months later, I would still stick to it, except change the point total to 70
We're going to have an interesting January in the Klatch...:)
Yep. Someone's gotta lose. A Niner, a Seahawk, and a Denver fan among us. Powerful teams.
And a Dallas fan, but we all know about Tony Romo and is famous deep playoff runs.
Until Romo gets his head straight on taxes and Obamacare, he will never play better than .500 ball.
Seahawks over 'Niners. Close game.
lol. Two teams in the same conference will never face each other in the Super Bowl, silly goose.
Yeah, what the hell was I thinking-lol. wishful thinking I guess.........
Happy Monday? Those two words don't usually go together...went to Wildhorse Pass casino last night with mom and auntie, had a wonderful dinner at Ling & Louie's, then hit some good payouts on a $1 machine on my way out the door...I am $600 closer to retirement this morning! :)
MANY congrats! Enjoy those loved ones, and cherish the time spent with them.
Thanks and +100! I love it that it is only a 1 hour flight here from Burbank, makes an easy commute!
I'm so unlucky, I have a better shot at winning the Powerball by throwing my money in the trashcan instead of actually buying a ticket.
Ladies and gentleman! Presenting 16 time NHRA Funny Car Champion-Mr. John Force!!!
The man is amazing. 64yrs old and I don't see him slowing down any time soon.
How 'bout them Jags?
lol
What a terrible team.
How about that Lions vs Cowboys game?
Only the Cowboys can force 4 turnovers and still lose
No kidding. Lol!
May your week be as sweet as your Halloween is ghastly.

What the heck is that supposed to be?
Was wondering the same thing, lol
My guess was a spider.
It was a gargoyle, but the spacing shifted.
I was thinking ice cream cone...
I see a skull......
Yeah, I can see it now.
I see a cow driving a pickup truck in his unnerware through a pasture of unicorns,tree huggers and rainbow colored knats...while sipping a Starbucks Double shot Moooka.
REALLY "LIKE!"
I "heart" you!
I see a means of raising taxes.
