I would have paid good money to watch you wrangle drunken idiots, Bruce. I'd go to that bar just to observe.

Posted a new video in Screening Room, updated the yaoi art on the front page.

I'm very glad I worked with my mother the day before yesterday. A road construction crew has completely closed off the most direct route to Bugtussle here (and no, it was not the section of road that actually needed fixing, either), so we had to take a roundabout way to get my husband to work, a way which I only knew existed because my mother decided to go that way on a whim when we took our elderly client shopping. It adds about 10 extra minutes to the journey and is on even crazier dirt roads that the ones we live on. Speaking of which, if the few paved sections of road in a town have a problem with lots of pot holes, what should you do? A) Pour gravel into the potholes that will wash out and cause car wrecks, B) Rip up the concrete so it's all dirt with less severe potholes, or C) Grab some quick crete, set aside a day, and fill in the damn potholes? If you answered C, you are not our road construction crew. After years of A, which didn't work, they decided that B, ripping up all the paved road, would be a better idea. So now there is no pavement at all, just dirt. Then they poured gravel over it.

I have always suspected olives of having ulterior motives, particularly the sliced ones. Can't trust 'em.

People have done that. XD

I grew up on a dirt road, gravel cures everything.

Be nice, I like olives. Green olives are good too.

Just checked the first page and I am surprised to be able to say I recognize those two.
Love the video Alora, I laughed all through it.

Oh no, 'e's at it again! Yes, I updated the post on Wilf Carter in the Music Box's, And Now For Something Completely Different but while I was there I started playing some of the old music which got me searching again for The Pig and Whistle. I had slightly better luck so I updated the Vera Lynn post but this of course got me thinking about what else but The Wurzels. While I do not think they were ever on The Pig and Whistle, they certainly would have fit in. I think they came along a year or two after The Pig and Whistle was cancelled. Well worth going to another room to have a listen, I guarantee you won't hear anything like this on pop music channels now.

Olives are but fruit from the loins of lesser demons, Bruce. They will deceive you.

They must be delicious demons indeed.

I understand, I always seem to be on the wrong end of the butterfly effect myself. You know how it is, a butterfly flies past a microphone and I walk past a massive speaker just in time to get the eardrum shattering feedback caused by the fluttering of butterfly wings. At times I am tempted to want to lead one of those charmed lives where money solves all problems. It would be nice to not have some small problem turn into an insurmountable disaster for a change.

Wouldn't it be, though? For a small, seemingly fixable problem to not morph itself into a ball of stress and horror that forces one to keep brooding over it all day simply trying to decide which course of action might be the least horrid? How lovely that would be...

Bruce (Irvine Radcliffe Davenshire) escaped from his cage and flew into a tree today. We take this as a sign that our nurturing of him was a success. He shall be missed though, he was very cute.

Tomorrow night is my first proper night shift with my client. Wish me luck.

Without my big ball of stress I would probably balloon like the rest of my family so I tell myself that my stress is heart healthy. Some day, senility willing, I may believe that.

I love the challenge presented by message boards and text. I had to read that several times to ascertain my original reaction to that statement where I pictured Bruce (Irvine Radcliffe Davenshire) laying on the ground twitching with a broken neck from flying into a tree was indeed erroneous on my part. I am happy he has grown strong and healthy. Just remember, a bird in a tree is worth 2 in the bush although a bird in the bush may indicate it is time you shaved.1

Best wishes for your first night on the job, may your first night flying solo be as successful as Bruce (Irvine Radcliffe Davenshire)'s and equally lacking in broken necks.

1 Unless you are European.

*sadly glances at own stomach at the mention of ballooning and puts down taco*

Don't ask me why, but that made me laugh. It shouldn't, because that would be a terrible thing to have happened, but it struck me as humorous for some reason. Like watching an after-school special about a little boy who struggles to let go of his pet goldfish, only to learn an important lesson about setting the things you love free and releasing it into a stream, whereupon a hawk promptly swoops down and snatches it from the water. He stayed in the tree for several hours, when Brandon came outside to do the chores he proceeded to scream to be fed for ten minutes before realizing that Brandon had no way of reaching him, and swooped down and hit him smack in the chest before hopping to the other side of the fence, and happily re-entering the barn for food. While I generally agree one should shave at that point, I figure it is at least good for a chuckle to compare the sight to a wooly mammoth.

I certainly hope there will be no broken necks, I am working in senior care after all.

How are you, Bruce?

Tacos sound so much more interesting than my chicken soup. Traditionally it is the male of the species which gains weight after entering into marriage.

I think the chuckles may come from our warped sense of humour in conjunction with what life has come to lead us to expect from it. Also I am considered to be quite amusing to all but the 92% who choose to go through life with their head permanently stuffed up their arse. I hope Brandon does not end up playing The Happy Prince to Bruce's swallow. Nova Scotia may possibly have been a hotbed for wooly mammoth activity back in the day. Just think, back then a folk song would have went, "Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam (actually they are bison) and the deer and the elephant play... " Once more I find myself puzzled by what I am reading. Am I to understand that I should shave when a bird hits me in the chest? You see I live alone and if you mean my bird, I'm afraid I am not that well endowed. With some effort I can probably manage my belly button but hitting myself in the chest with my bird would be too much of a stretch.Ew, speaking of that, do you know how they do penis enlargement? I am so glad I am not that insecure about my penis. And by the way, if you have a penis, I strongly suggest you do not look up penis enlargement surgery, I have been trying to forget it ever since I saw David Suzuki's penis show.

I am not good but I am somewhat better Alora, how are you? Perhaps I flatter myself or perhaps I only look good compared to the dolts I encounter in my day to day life but I tend to believe I have a decent vocabulary and a fairly good command of the English language, yet people always seem to misunderstand what I say. When I agreed to take care of my fathers estate I was in good health and knew I could do the job properly but when someone dies, you start with some phone calls and such but largely you wait to get everything you need from other parties. By the time I was able to start my chronic fatigue had returned, etc., etc. Since then I have been very plainly telling people, "I cannot do this." Their response has always been to tell me what they want done and how easy it will be to do it. Really? Because I am pretty certain I am the same person who had enough trouble getting out of bed and then almost destroyed the house by going to the kitchen and turning the coffee on. I get the coffee ready before I go to bed so in the morning I just have to push the button on the coffee maker. Most mornings that taxes my skill set to the point where I almost fail completely, often doing damage to my home and myself. I do my best not to make appointments before mid afternoon because it takes me that long to get my shit together. But single handedly taking care of a messed up estate that was set up with booby traps? Evidently it is a piece of cake for me.

Last week I had a meeting with the lawyer for the estate where he gave me a name and number of someone who may be able to help me get things organized for closing. I got things moving on that this week and I may have some good news on the "hangover" situation. I was surprised to come out of the grocery store last night and find a flat tire on the car. It looked too flat to drive to the gas station so I walked home and borrowed a compressor from my neighbour. The store is not far and most times I walk to it but I was stopping there on my way to pick up my meds. While talking to my neighbour about events prior to discovering the flat tire, I mentioned how it wasn't a good day for me and once more I felt hung over all day. He told me that he once had the same problem and his doctor told him to take vitamin B 12 so now he takes B 12 and a multi-vitamin. It made sense when he told me as I have had some relief from this for a couple of years until it started again recently. A couple of years ago my best friend suggested I try vitamin B for another problem so I started taking it but recently I have not been taking my vitamins so at about the time I started taking a B6-B12 vitamin this problem got better and when I stopped taking my vitamins it came back. When I got home I immediately took one of my B vitamins. I took another at bedtime and while I feel moderately like crap, I feel much better today and feel like I have only a mild hangover. That is a pretty quick result if it is from the B vitamin but at least this week is somewhat hopeful for me. I hope work and a new home help you at least as much.

Perhaps taco soup could be a compromise? I have heard this as well, however by my estimation I have gained somewhere around 10 or 15 pounds since this year began, I am not positive as I have not been in proximity to a scale in some time (partially out of fear of what number I may see), but the amount of my own clothes that I can no longer wear is steadily increasing.

Spoiler: click to toggle


I think that is a fair assessment. Brandon is very attached to the little fellow, I have started referring to him as the bird's mama. Perhaps one SHOULD shave their chest if birds have a habit of careening into it, after all, would you want those tiny, scaly little bird feet to get tangled in your majestic chest hair as he begins to squawk and flutter and peck with absolutely zero regard to the havoc he may be wreaking upon your similarly hairy man-nipples? You're in even worse shape if he happens to have a sharp beak. Not to mention how hard it is to get passerby to stop laughing and assist you when a panicking bluebird is tangled in your chest hair and blood is gushing from your nipples while you scream pleas and obscenities. Through your own screaming, you then have to wonder, do I race for a pair of scissors to cut him loose, or bear the trauma and yank him out? The second approach can go one of two ways- one, you manage to pry him from your chest and he flutters away, thoroughly offended, with a chunk of your chest hair still wrapped around his little bird foot, fluttering in the breeze as he makes his escape. Or, you pull with all your might and to your shock and horror, the bird leg detaches, leaving it hanging limply from your chest hair as you clutch a blue bird with blood gushing out of the stump where it's leg used to be. It is at that point that the passerby who had previously been laughing at you call the animal welfare people, and that's when you know your day is just going to go from bad to worse...
I did know that actually, as a matter of fact, I read just today about a man who had botched penis enlargement surgery and now has a permanent erection that can not be corrected without rendering him completely impotent. I also saw the man with the world's largest natural scrotum, it looked like he had a hundred pound sack of tapioca in his pants.

I have no trouble understanding you and believe that you and I are just surrounded by morons. People always think things are easy when they don't have to do that thing themselves, if I lived in your neck of the woods I would offer to assist you in cleaning up the estate, it sounds like an unpleasant job no matter who you are.

It's good to hear at least that things may be improving. I only hope the vitamins continue to help, I personally have not found many vitamins or supplements that I can swallow, for some reason around here they only come in huge sizes. I am always hoping to hear that you're doing better. I have been good for the most part besides occasionally being tempted to bash my head against a wall. Answer honestly Bruce, do you take me for the type to trash someone else's belongings or spill food all over furniture that is not mine? Someone apparently does, and I have been having to make phone calls to my aunt to relay this information and have her confirm that she finds this notion as ridiculous as I do and that my husband and I do not have to cover her sofa with sheets before sitting on it. That same someone also does not seem to understand that if some shady character shows up on the doorstep claiming to be a family member (and likely telling the truth), that neither of us have any problem just not answering the door. It is more complicated than it ought to be, that's for sure.

Jordan,
Congratulations to you on graduating High School.
Do you have any plans for this summer? It must be getting awful hot where you are. I hope the tropical storm didn't come your way on Tuesday 6/7. Some 8" of rain in Florida I heard. I just missed it by a day.

Geezer,
I liked your yodeling chcken web site and Montana Slim, and the musical about the lonely soldier with the boy.

Anyway, I received an honors medal and a gold rope for my GPA! :D Also, I got to go eat with my family after the ceremony, and we're going to Disneyland next week!

Hi guys, updating my computer all day, I'll try to get back later.

Nobody thought of asking the guy that made the old banner?
Glad your tests were good Lyssa.
Awesome dresser & art Mia.

Congratulations Mouse Caper, You sure seem very happy in the photo. I hope you have a great summer.
When you go to Disneyland, make sure to put on plenty of sun lotion while standing in lines. If you are taking young kids along, even the Disney web site recommends that they have diapers on when waiting in the long lines, so you don't lose your place in line.

Zonkers,
I have a swim suit like your new one with a blue stripe down the side instead of red. Of course, I still use red Speedo one too. I wore them last weekend in Florida with my new snorkeling mask and fins. It was so hot that I got sunburned on my back and front even with suntan lotion on. :$ It was 91 degrees F (33 C) all day and night. Now, I'm peeling and itching.

I saw one alligator in the Everglades. It was laying in the tall grass on a roadside waiting for someone to walk by. Fortunately, some fishermen yelled at us to keep back as they saw it laying there ready to pounce on us. We backed up, and soon it came up and crossed our path and went in the swamp on the other side of the road. I got some good pictures as it went by. It was about 8 ft (2.4m) long. :'(

Dylan and Geezer,
Here's a song for you to help celebrate your summer: :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QncAcz4qrUc

And one more from my Newfoundland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyHJ7XU5eLE

Lyssa,
I see that you are here too. I hope you have excellent health this summer. It is tough to keep up your strength and eat correctly with all the events that go on.

Just passing through folks, nothing to get excited about. It is so good to see more than one or two people in the Lounge again.

Dale, I love "Bad Dream Town" but I preferred the first video I posted for it, it captured the emotion of living in a town such as the one in the song but it was removed from youtube so I had to go with the only other video for the song. Alora posted the yodelling chicken video.
That is possibly my favourite Hank Snow song tho it is hard to choose, he had so many. There's some mighty fine pickin' there. Speaking of pickin', Hank taught my aunt to play guitar while he was still living in Nova Scotia. She had about seven kids that survived so I'm not sure when she found time to play guitar. He did a fair job on Squid Jiggin' Grounds too for a mainlander without a squeezebox but I haven't heard a bad version of that song yet. I can't picture a kitchen party without someone singing that at some point. I'm sure you are familiar with kitchen parties from Newfoundland.

Anyways to people who I know/knew, I hope you're doing well. :) And to the "people" who posted that stuff about us - thanks for the laugh :p
