Happy Pi Day!
Smile :)
Ha! Good one.
The best coffee I have ever tried is Old Brown Java Coffee Beans from Hype Coffee. If you grind it right – it makes the best tasting cup of fresh coffee. YUM
False.

Good morning, from a cold NY. 15 degrees right now and that doesn't count wind chill. Please, please can't it be spring?
In other news of the world, there's a news item making its way around about a taxi cab driver in NYC who thinks its just a hoot to film his passengers' reaction to his albino python snake that he lets freely roam inside of his cab. If I ever got into that cab and saw that, he'd need a new cab after I destroy the old one getting out. He should lose his hack license, IMHO.
I heard about that on the news last night. Creepy! Evidently, he's writing a book on how to get over your fears. Somehow, I don't think this is going to help. Lol!

Has JDizz started packing his bags yet?
Planning a long weekend here. Off tomorrow and hunting on Saturday. Should be fun.
Anyone else have good plans?
Off tomorrow too and going camping for the weekend with some buds.
Set up that cot in the garage, Turth. En route.
Next time you are in DC (we know you come her and yes we are tracking you) you have to check out a new restaurant in my hood. Tagged best in the city currently – Rose's Luxury lives up to it. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. http://rosesluxury.com/
So after the raunchy Mardi Gras party the squirrels recently had in my BBQ, I decided it was time for an upgrade and bought a new one. Got a 4 burner, 48,000 BTU bad-boy with 690 square inches of cooking (yup that much Alee) and a side burner to boot. Putting the thing together soon and then will be testing it out.
Ten bucks says you will need to be hiring a consultant with a minor in gas grill studies...
Happy grilling an useth it in good health!
Do you possess such consultation skills? Get out here to DC!
No, I majored in Economics, so I would be completely useless in this endeavor...I am thinking that Bro RichHead has probably delved into area in the past though...I am sure that he would be a source of most wise counsel...
Look at you John Keynes. Glutton for punishment there, I couldn't have deviated any further from that area in school.
Been there, done that. That's at least a 4 beer assembly process. Mine's about the same size. I never thought I'd use the side burner much, but it's seen plenty of use. Particularly handy for boiling the Brats' in beer before they go on the grill. Damn, now I'm hungry.......
"boilling the Brats"
Soooo you hate children? ;)
No, no, not at all. They're really good boiled in beer and onions ;)
Dang, now I have to go get some brats for grilling this weekend, I boil mine in beer n onions before they hit the grill too...yummmmm
Sounds like you are putting the pussy on the chain wax, bro. Crank it up to Eleven!
Greetings from gusty Atlanta...been here since Monday for a meeting. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been a busy girl, sold my house 3 days after the first showing! So, panic mode on where to live after closing...and I filed for a divorce.
:(
Good morning! I wondered where you've been. Congrat's on the sale. I hope you don't have one of those "messy" divorces. That causes a lot of stress. (speaking from experience) However, it can get rid of a lot of stress, too. 😉
Good on you Darlin'...We are here for you, and much happiness and comfort to you in the coming days. Know that the entire Klatch supports you in all that you are undergoing. Let us know if there is anything you need.
I second his e-motion. Any support you need during this big change of life, please don't hesitate to hollah! We're here for you!!
)))))))hugs(((((((
(Yes Jerv, TWO & Sir Bid – that IS a hug and not some twisted up she-taco)
Twisted She Tacos are the lunch special today at La Cocina...$8.95, including rice and a drink.
Hoping that wasn't a moose knuckle with a tattoo gone wrong Alee.
Hope all goes as well as you want JBJ in your transition.
You sure have been busy! Best of luck on the home search as well as navigating the messy waters of divorce. Been there, done that. We're all here when you need to vent.
Thank you everyone, you guys are the bestest! Been a tough year, but hoping for some peace soon. Hugs back atcha!
Well, talking about shedding shackles. Be Free live on a sail boat and cruise the world.

Heh-heh.
Weird. This was posted on the Niners forums today, too. Without looking again, I can tell you the only one I laughed at was #7 for some reason.
Cute...reminds me of Dennis Miller's short lived career as an NFL announcer, and nobody understood when he said things like "Well, Terrell Davis just cut a Gordian Knot of defense..."
To all of you in NYC, I hope you're safe & sound. There was a building that exploded & partially collapsed on 116th & Patk.
Sorry for posting twice, 1st one didn't take at 1st.
To any of you in NYC, I hope you're safe & sound. There was an explosion & building collapse on 116th & Park. I'm sure we'll have all the facts in awhile. 😔
my bad. I was prepping my smoker for a major spring smoke out. My neighbor called the gas company but they made a mistake by stopping by my place first for a wake and bake. The good news is the BBQ is all good. The block party is still on – if you can reach it.
I say this with deep sarcasm because this gas leak was reported early last week and then by several people last Tuesday. The gas company said they had a crew on the way to investigate.
RIGHT
The Gas company should be charged with the deaths and destruction. I am angry that was treated so nonchalantly.
It's like stop lights in my neck of the woods. The county says three people have to die at an intersection before they'll put up a traffic light. The New York City gas company – same thing except three buildings have to be blown up before they'll replace corroded pipes.
Good morning all...My condolences to those with weather issues this week. We are going to hit fifty today and sixty tomorrow. I'm thinking the weekend will call for more fishing.
How is everyone doing today?
Fired up the grill for the first time this "spring" last night. Tri-tip and grilled asparagus. Weather yesterday was awesome-more of the same today.
Grilled last night as well. A room mate moved out and left about $120 worth of sirloin steaks in the freezer. I was in a meat coma.
Score!
Yep. Round two tonight! Thawing some more in the fridge as we speak. I will be crapping charred meat for the next week.
Last night was Kabobs. I got these cool skewers for Xmas that are made out of flexible cable 2' long. The bomb!
You must be talking Firewires. Love them!
Yup. Very similar. A little hard to turn, but you sure can load 'em up.
Its 59 degrees!!!!!
Whew! I THOUGHT it was hot in here.
Darlin', any room with you in it is hot...
29° & snowing. 😔
Tomorrow's forecast is high of 22 with snow, so I'll be in the same boat as you.
6+ hours until free agency frenzy. Exxccellent. I don't expect the Niners to make a big splash in FA as is the norm. Willing to bet the Eagless, Browns and Jets make an annual repeat mistake of stupid high priced free agents that contribute nothing.
Gotz my fingers crossed that the "Hawks hang on to Golden Tate.
Good morning! Its supposed to be in the 50's today here, then a roller coaster for the rest of the week, including rain, snow, sleet and 23 degree high for Thursday. Its gotta be spring soon, right?
We hit almost 50 yester, today upper 30's & then back in the 20's. Old man winter needs to go on vacation!
You had surgery, right? How are ya doin'?
Yes, I did, gall bladder removed. I'm doing fairly well, had my follow up appointment with the surgeon yesterday and she is pleased with my progress. I'm slowly experimenting with returning to my normal diet, seeing what works and what doesn't right now, and that's going well, too. Thanks for asking!!
Oh wow! You're bouncing right back, good for you! Don't overdo just because ya feel better, ok?
Hilarious use of censor beeps where they didn't need to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0v7rFSUrGE
Lol! I just watched it. 😆
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YQUzK8SjJlU
Ha! Haven't seen this in a long time.
HAAAAA! The HJ with Groover is just wrong.
That was too "bleepin" funny!
Feeling better today (thanks for askin' TNT). Looking forward to another fun-filled week! What are y'all up to?
Glad to hear you're feeling better! My day is filled with errands. Goal is to get them done & be back home before the snow flies again...ugh...so sick of winter. So what did your hubby do & is he ok? (if ya don't mind me askin')
Don't mind your query a bit. On a 73 degree day @ 93% humidity, he was raking leaves. He hadn't eaten breakfast and wasn't drinking water. FTR, I am still furious with him.
Sorry it's not a spicier story. ~_~
I hope YOU feel better soon, and hopefully the next time, he'll pace himself!
Ah geez, MEN! (lol) Glad it wasn't a spicy story & nothing major happened. That will teach him, huh? I will say, I'm jealous that you have yard work to do...I'm watching snow fall.
Lol! My comment is waiting moderation. I used "that" word, too. I'm glad he's ok. My comment will probably show up later. 😊
(Crap. Forgot about that word)

I've posted this before here and it has been deleted. I expect the same to happen.
read this: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-data-brokers-selling-your-personal-information/
and know that everything you post on eat -ocracy (it isn't a government, dang it) is being recorded, organized and sold.
It's all going down in your permanent record.
On that note: This weeks photo is a beautiful picture of Richardhead and his new boy friend. Who is jealous? Tell the Truth, now.
I was wondering who would make the first gay joke.
And they can have my info, I don't care. 'Muricah!
Yup. I knew there would be someone who couldn't resist....
Which one is Richardhead? The man on the left or the man on the right with the giant (nod to AleeD & hoping your feeling better) dimple? Either way, both aren't too bad looking. 😃
I'm with Jdizzle, I don't care either. I have nothing to hide, darn it! (lol)
What permanent record? I'm not even here. Mwah-ha-ha-haaa!
Reblogged this on farmtoface and commented:
Great idea! Lets chat farming and sustainability! :)
INTERESTING!
My sentiments exactly.
Good morning all...how was everyone's weekend? We had a typical Colorado weekend, in that it snowed on Saturday, and it hit seventy yesterday...at least now there's a bunch if fish in the freezer...
How is everyone doing today?
Waddja catch? Did you bring enough for everyone? *hands on hips, tapping foot*
Still hab a code in by dose. Didn't get the rest I needed this weekend because hubby decided to keep up with the neighbor (17 years his junior) and collapsed from heat exhaustion. Apparently only one of us at a time can be sick – and it's not allowed to be me.
