Random:

After one and a half glasses of rose, I may have started the weekend early.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:14 am

It's only Thursday.

It's been dark and stormy "looking" here. Very little rain. Heap big winds. Where's my rain?

I hear there's a Marmite shortage in New Zealand because the factory was damaged in an earthquake. Opened and used bottles (not empty) are being auctioned for thousands of dollars.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 23, 2012 6:45 am

Your rain is here, Julie.

Random: It's Friday....if I can just get through 8 hours of work....

I need to buy Prilosec, a brake light and cat treats. Which means a trip to Wal-Mart today. Blech.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:47 pm

Only dumb people would buy Marmite when Vegemite is available, Julie. It's Britain's version of our black ambrosia. The Kiwis only have to dial us up or take a cheap flight over the Tasman and hey presto ... Marmageddon indeed!

What the heck is Prilosec, Donna? Is it for that rash that won't go away?

Random:

Thank God for the end of the Toulouse tragedy. I just hope that the French proceed now with caution and compassion, not fear and vengeance. The actions of one should not mean the reactions of many.

Time for me to do my civic duty and go vote in our State elections.

Where oh where are Sami and Shar? scratch

BIG Random:

Well, the results of our State Election are not a surprise - A landslide win for the Liberal/National Party (LNP) coalition with at least 78 seats in Parliament. This leaves the Australian Labour Party (ALP) in absolute disarray in QLD with only 7 seats from a previous 51 seats. What worries me is that the new Premier is an untried and inexperienced State Politician ... his last job was Mayor of Brisbane ... but he has certainly rejuvenated the LNP and fired up the voters. Of course, political commentators are now saying this, along with the ALP's loss last year in New South Wales state election, is a clear message to the Federal Government to not be complacent.

Here I am. You never know where or when I'm gonna show up. (Just like The Shadow or a bad case of gas. Wink

)

Random:

I think I'll take myself to the movie tonight to see "The Hunger Games". It suppose to be good.

Sami's in Atlanta, GA!

It can certainly get hot and humid here, that's for sure. But it has been known to get bitterly cold sometimes during the winter (not enough for snow, but still). It's been an unusually warm winter for other parts of the country too, I take it.

To answer your question, Nay, my favorite season is Autumn also. It's the beginning of the holiday season kicking off with Halloween, then my birthday (yes, I'm lumping that in as a holiday Wink

), then Thanksgiving, then into the Christmas season. It's cool air and gorgeous leaves changing color. It's darker earlier, and you just want to snuggle up with a bowl full of chili. Smile

Love the pictures of the "boys", Nay. You're right. Bud's expression is priceless!

I noticed you didn't comment about whether or not you are happy about the way Australia's election turned out....You just gave us the facts. Suspect

Sami!

How have you been, honey? Is life treating you well?

Shar ... gas? Somehow I see you as a SBD (silent but deadly). Laughing

Emily, my preferences, political and seasonal, are fairly straight forward - Autumn/Spring because they herald new beginnings and this election win by the LNP for the same reason. Like most Australians though, I just have a low tolerance for bullshitting liars so we shall see if the numerous and expensive pre-election promises are upheld. In a weird cross-over, my political preferences can at times be seasonal too ie. dependant on the candidate rather than following particular parties.

Random:

Lawn mowed - check.

Yeah, some candidates are just too darned cute to not get elected, regardless of their parties. Perving

Seriously, they're all money-grubbing power-hungry lying cheating thieving sh!t-spewing a$$holes. That's why there will never be true equality or justice or peace.

One of our major parties sent me a "census" of our local area. The instructions said to fill it out and send it back WITH A GENEROUS DONATION OF $25 OR MORE. Shocked

Yah, it's a fundraiser. I trashed it.

Prilosec is for acid reflux disease (aka chronic heartburn). If I don't get my meds, I are a miserable woman.

Random: they said this was the pick day of the weekend, and it's all cloudy outside. I guess I'll need to mow anyway.

The Walking Dead doesn't return until this Fall. I guess it's time to move on to Mad Men and The Killing.

Subject: Something random, and Hi to everyone! Sun Mar 25, 2012 3:49 pm

Hi to all! I just joined and figured the something random post was the best place to start! Very Happy

I live in Denver Colorado, obviously love Gerry and his movies. I write, I paint, and am in the process of working on a novel, and am trying to start a jewelry business. So hello! And I hope to get to know everybody.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday! Cool

I assume you're not speaking of Newt Gingrich ... Laughing

DK, we have a new member posting in Random! Bloody fantastic, Dani! I am so glad someone thought about jumping in here because really it is where all the fun goes down, smack talk happens and lies are told. Don't love the Butler too much, Dani. We like to keep it all real here, call a spade a spade if you will.

Random:

Our current Pemier whose party (ALP) was annihilated at Saturday's election has just announced her retirement from politics (even though she won her seat back). This means a by-election which is frustrating for the electors who gave her another chance and voted her back in. She's either falling on her sword or has had an attack of pride.

In BREAKING NEWS, it is Monday and I have to go to work.

Hello Dani!! Say something random about you (Part 5) - Page 19 166223

We're happy to have you here!

We're not exactly the dark side, but we have cookies.

Random: I mowed my lawn and now my allergies are acting up. I don't know how in the world people actually enjoy doing yardwork.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:03 pm

Hi, Dani!! Say something random about you (Part 5) - Page 19 166223

That's really neat that you like to write. I've been keeping journals and notes with ideas because that is something I've wanted to get into for a long time.

I also have two cousins in Denver, BTW.

Welcome! I'm so glad you jumped right in to our little Pantry Pool. Wink

Donna, where are said cookies......? Suspect

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 26, 2012 2:36 am

Oh, don't be expecting Donna to actually share cookies, Emily.

BTW the one you REALLY need to ask to share is Dallas. She has access to all the dirty Butler secrets. I just make mine up as I go along. Laughing

Although my rumour about a sex tape is still to be verified.

Random:

Four days until our Easter school break. Time to both sleep in and take nanna naps in the afternoon, yardwork, cinema & lunch, facial, drink some good vino while cooking some good food ...

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:16 am

I suspect guys like yardwork because they can't hear their women nagging and yapping.

I think gals who say they like yardwork don't know how to delegate. Twisted Evil

Dang, it's almost Easter again. More family time. Say something random about you (Part 5) - Page 19 66831

My yard work was taken care of yesterday. One guy drove the big mower and the other one did the weed eating. It took less than an hour and cost me more than I could really afford. It was worth every penny.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 26, 2012 2:16 pm

Amazing what proper use of proper powerful equipment can do.

I actually like using the weed eater. I can kill everything in my path. Die! Die! Die! The only annoying part is running out of line. Hubby is in charge of the of the outside. If it were up to me I'd either have rock and sand gardens or astroturf.

I liked when we lived in an apartment and someone else was in charge of the outside and it was always nice.

Don't tease me like that. I am now intrigued....

A lady doesn't tell, Emily, but I do dob people in ...

Random:
Ya know ... A Dubliner with a beer chaser is a damn fine way to end the day. drunken

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:13 pm

Haha! You're going to have to educate this American on what "dob people in" means. I've never heard that one. scratch

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 30, 2012 8:53 pm

Random:

I have the song Breathless by The Corrs stuck in my head. It was on my Sirius radio today. Everytime I hear that song, it gets me a bit flustered and happy. Haha! I associate that song with a fan video of Gerry someone made years ago. I was still in the "honeymoon phase" of this fandom. Anyway, hearing that song brings me back to that time. It's funny how both songs and smells can instantly activate your memory, and you have a reaction to them like you've been transported to that time. Our senses really are amazing things. Smile

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:42 pm

Emily, to dob someone in means you have informed on them or revealed their hand. We also use the term dib-dob-dibber for the person doing it. We have strange ways. Laughing

Random:

A local timber business is closing up due to a marriage split and therefore had a clearance auction this morning (Saturday). I have become very fond of wood and all things timber and long admired large chunky rough-hewn outdoor settings.

Today, I was very brave and bid on one. GOT IT! Mine looks something like this one. Next I will buy six to eight timber mismatched, secondhand chairs and set up my new outdoor entertaining area.

LOVE IT!!!! It's going to look in great in your lovely garden.

I have just been drug, kicking and screaming, in to the 21th century. I've given in at long last and am the proud and scared owner of a "smart" phone, and it's attendant two year contract. I resisted as long as I could, but I got tired of being the only one around without a world in my back pocket. It's a Verizon Stratosphere and I'm gonna be really cool------- if I can figure out how to use the darn thing.
