will you talk badly about Lucious if/when we get him? i am fighting xsteen on the spelling. i said LUCIUS, but the bball player spells it LUCIOUS

[camle]

it's sunny and 70's here. beautiful day. the weatherjerk promised rain this pm, but the skies are clear.

[camle]

matches won't work. try highway flares!

[white rose]

Call me warped, but that funeral story is one of the funniest things I've read in days. However, there was one line in particular that caught my eye...

"But as more people buy eulogies off the Internet ..."

Excuse me?

[xsmommy]

seems like you should be getting rain there today. it rained like an SOB here yesterday afternoon around 5pm.

[CholeraJoe]

As long as he doesn't try to crawl up my leg and snap at the jewels like xspup did, he'll be ok in my book.

[xsmommy]

xspup liked ya, he was just playing hard to get....

[Conspiracy Guy]

Slap shot was a hoot. But Cool Hand Luke is a classic. He has made so many movies. Sean I like better after Bond and best in things like the Untouchables.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

None of this is in ANY way an endorsement for pet funerals. But on the subject of pet viewing...We have a cancer cat whose time is rapidly approaching. We have two other currently cancer-free cats. Mrs. Dupa has suggested showing the other two cats the dead guy before I bury him, so theywill know he is gone. We have heard sad stories of pets continually going from room to room looking one of their buddies after he is dead. We were wondering - and still not decided upon - if such a viewing would prevent that.

[xsmommy]

a side job, perhaps?

[camle]

rain would be good. a nice thunderboomer would be better. around sevenish.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Got a few of those too.

[xsmommy]

well this place apparently endorses that as a way to help the other animals cope, they let them sniff...the dearly departed. i think that you would be ok in showing the sibs the corpse and letting them come to terms with their loss.

poor you and mrs dupa, though. that will be hard.

[camle]

bring them tomorrow. we'll have a bonfire, roast some marshmallows, whatever...

We can drink beer and sing along, and mebbe the qocuettes can dance nekked...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Summers down here can be hellish.

[xsmommy]

i enjoyed the storm.

[NeoCaveman]

While trying to sound vafrous, Mo Dowd sinks into a scotch induced misandristic fantasy of social-Darwinistic proportions.

[camle]

ain't been no picnic here either. last two weeks have been rather less than pleasant, so today is a blessed releif. Whilst we was in Il last week, it was close to 100 with high humidity. Kept to the limo, but when we got out at the St. Louis arch, we had to walk some distance in the heat nad stand in line. We was about wilted by the time we got inside the complex.

[camle]

if we had any storms last night (it did rain a bit), I slept through them. it was the best sleeping night in a while, so I made it my God given task to snore as much as possible, in gratitude, y;know:-)
