DU LUV Pics! It's Friday night! Let's get to it, Loungies!

[Whoa_Nelly]

Haven't been around much in the Lounge lately, so thought it's time to get a look AGAIN! at all the beautiful faces of you scrumptious Loungies!!! :hi: :loveya:

(or just post something lovely or scrumptious! mmmmm Yummy!)

Come on! DU the Lounge Luv! :bounce:

Dance with me, all you babycakes!

[lizziegrace]

1. Hey!!

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Hey Hey!

How are you doing??? We should chat soon!!

[lizziegrace]

4. We should!

How've you been??

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Life's been getting better

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!





Got a tutoring job while building Interior Design clientele. Am probably going back to teaching in the fall....California is fucking EXPENSIVE!


(am playing with my MacBook PhotoBooth...fun! Can take photos using my computer only!)


Did your arm heal well????

[lizziegrace]

11. Still healing

the secondary injury to my "good" arm is much slower in healing. I'll take a fracture over pulled tendons any day!

:)

I'm so glad you're building a clientele. You'll stir things up out there yet.

;)

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. oh owie....

:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

3. Hey, lizziegrace!

Happy Friday!

Hope you're doing well.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

6. Hey stranger

:hug:


I've got Ellis playing. I'm doing fine - good music and good friends from all over.

;pals:


How are you?

[InternalDialogue]

9. I'm good.

Good music also going here, although it's iPod's choice. Jimmy Buffett, Counting Crows, Shannon McNally of late. Something else in a minute or two.

Long week, lots of work. That's going to continue into the weekend. I don't like getting work pushing into personal time, but it's good money.

[InternalDialogue]

5. Something absolutely delicious!

OK, that's a lie.

It's the result of a college experiment. I'm in the lower left.

I had nothing to do with it.

OK, that's a lie. The idea was primarily mine.

[lizziegrace]

7. Uh...

you've got some 'splainin to do. ;)

[InternalDialogue]

13. I'll refrain from posting the entire photo set.

My accomplice (on the right in the photo) and I wondered what would happen to a banana dropped into a rat trap.

Turns out, it's not that spectacular, mostly because the rat trap jumps all over the place.

So we strapped the rat trap to a cinder block.

But then the banana just gets pinched. Not very dramatic.

But what would happen to a big bag of goo?

So we collected a big bag filled with every liquid and gel we could gather from our floormates. Quite a mixture. All in a plastic bag.

Turns out, a rat trap just sort of snaps on the bag and holds it in place. Not that spectacular.

So we just put the bag on the floor and jumped on it. Big splat. Gathered 'round. Took a picture.

[lizziegrace]

15. Your brain never stops

does it? ;)

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. It actually looks like an album cover

and you guys are the band! :woohoo:

[InternalDialogue]

21. Ah, college fantasies.

If only a single one of us had any sort of band-forming talent...

[lizziegrace]

22. But you *did* end up with

excellent taste in music. :)

[InternalDialogue]

25. So true.

Half credit goes to my accomplice, who was partly on his way to good taste during college.

I figured out the other half on my own.

And ended up meeting people like you because of it. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

28. That's my favorite part

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

55. Snow in Austin

poor guys, upside down

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

:)

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Gotta say...

You are such a fucking genius!


:rofl:


BTW--That is one GREAT pic!!! ;)

[InternalDialogue]

19. *takes a bow*

That's what my parents probably think all the time.

The scientific method is so much more useful when applied to unimportant pursuits. Gravity? Bah!

[Ptah]

14. I'll dance with you Whoa_Nelly

I'd also enjoy listening to you play the piano



I hope Seneca is in better health

[lizziegrace]

16. Ptah!!

:hug:

How are you tonight?

[Ptah]

17. Kinda bored

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6367609

[lizziegrace]

20. I just saw that!

I get very restless when I'm bored. I find excuses to get in the car and drive. (I don't go any further or farther? than AAA will tow...)

I'm fighting the urge to drive - aka run away.

[InternalDialogue]

23. Ptah, I haven't checked.

But I was wondering if you posted in the "oddest flame war" thread earlier today in the Lounge.

I was going to post that I didn't participate but was an observer of the "four tenths" thread earlier this year.

[Ptah]

26. Oh yeah, I guess that was odd.

I had just chalked it up to a youngster not understanding some specific shop lingo.

:hi:

[InternalDialogue]

35. I'm not an engineer or machinist

but it didn't take but a couple messages to get the gist of the message.

I kind of just wanted to respond to him something like: Lexicon? Jargon? Shoptalk? Get it?

But it seemed by that time the horse had long-since left the barn. Or been dead and beaten by that time.

:hi:

[Ptah]

44. That poster did congratulate me on what I had accomplished, so

I didn't remember it as a flame, as those usually end badly.

[InternalDialogue]

49. I'll remember that, then.

It counts for something, in my opinion. Respect always reflects well on a person.

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. Seneca is well and wearing headgear

Her lick granulomas are almost all healed. (She will pick a spot on a leg and just lick it until it's a sore....dry skin I think)

She'll be getting a deep conditioning bath this weekend, and may be ready to go a while without the Elizabethan collar.

Sometimes she's her own worst enemy

Poor baby!

[Ptah]

29. Scratch behind her ears for me please.

I hope she heals quickly.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

30. How many channels does she pick up?

I always thought it made them look like satellite dishes...

[Whoa_Nelly]

34. ROFL!

My son asked the other day if she had taken any message for him from outer space... :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

37. Poor baby girl

Give her a hug for me. I know she must be miserable.

:(

[Whoa_Nelly]

48. I will

I take it off her for a few minutes in the evening after her diner.
She loves to dive nose first into the grass and then roll and scratch her back. She will wiggle like that for 5-10 minutes and has such a look of pure bliss on her face.

[lizziegrace]

27. Here's one for you

this is how eating Jello makes Lelapin feel

[lizziegrace]

32. One of the four-footed children

[InternalDialogue]

42. Oh, the kitties!

Your orange one reminds me of my Tigger, gone since December 2005.

His sister and partner in crime lives on.

[lizziegrace]

46. The little one is the real LizzieGrace

The big guy is Widget and he just turned 14 on St Patrick's Day. He's been my best friend for so many years now.

I'm sorry you lost Tigger. :hug:

[InternalDialogue]

52. Your Widget and my little Ben are contemporaries.

She turns 15 this May. Tigger died when he was 13, appropriate for him. I think every year after about his fourth was complete bonus time. For him to leave when he was 13 just seemed to fit. Good luck, bad luck. He was going to make it memorable.

[lizziegrace]

Why was every year after the fourth a gift?

Was Tigger sick when he was young?

They leave such a hole in your soul when they die. I can't even imagine my life without Widget and Gracie.

[InternalDialogue]

56. He was a troubled soul.

Runt of the litter, of a litter that shouldn't have survived anyway. (All of them abandoned by their mother in a Nebraska barn somewhere.)

By the time he was three, he had escaped the house only to be caught in the jaws of a neighbor's Rottweiler. While I was out searching the streets for him, my neighbor rescued him from being a doggie-dinner and tossed him through an open window back into my house.

Within a couple years of that, he had escaped through a skylight onto my roof during the night. Once I talked him down to the skylight. The other time I had to clamber up the roof to pull him back in.

When he was about 10, he got squirrelly on the stairs inside and dropped to the floor -- not enough time to get himself straightened out and ready for landing.

All that on top of multiple infections and other problems. I finally let him go when a feeding tube didn't bring him back from a feeding problem.

:-(

But he was a terrific cat, and he and Ben were my first pets as an adult. He'll always be to me what a cat should be.

[lizziegrace]

58. He was a very lucky and loved cat

You're right, every year was a gift. And when the time came, you knew when to let him go.

Widget's sleeping on his back in the middle of the floor. I think he needs his tummy scratched.

:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

67. Scratch that tummy!

And I'm going to grab some dinner and call it a night.

Hope your weekend is wonderful! Good luck with your weather!

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

38. That is absolutely ADORABLE!

She looks so tickled!

[lizziegrace]

40. Isn't that funny?

It makes InternalDialogue laugh too.

:)

[InternalDialogue]

45. Of course!

Can't resist giggling, jello-filled kids!

[Generic Brad]

31. Here's the Generic Brad Collection

[lizziegrace]

33. ...

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

54. Love the church sign pic!

Not being mean...but it made me :rofl:


You are so silly... :P

[SPKrazy]

36. Hey Hey!

It's lounging time :woohoo:

:hi:

kickin' back!

[lizziegrace]

39. Hey!!

:hi:

My nephew nearly got sucked into a tornado chasing on Wednesday night. Bad, bad time.

[SPKrazy]

43. Oh No!

geez, the weather is still a bit unstable, but luckily we haven't had any tornadoes or bad weather. It is getting ready to rain I think, which is GOOD maybe it will wash out the pollen (sneeze)

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

50. He told my sister when he got home

Typical 19 year old...

They were driving down a well-lit road to the hotel after dark in blinding rain. The lights went out and their ears popped. Then the rain started going UP rather than down. They were right on the edge. Everything was getting sucked into the vortex.

:scared:

But I tell you, when I go down for my oldest nephew's college graduation and there's weather? I'm outta there to chase with J. :)

[SPKrazy]

51. It really sounds fun..

I remember taking a meteorology class in college, nearly ready to graduate and thinking, this is fun!

so maybe i'll become a meteorologist? or maybe i just need to take up storm chasing. I think it is a little easier near Tulsa since it is a little flatter there. Here the hills get in the way and you could easily drive right into something you didn't know was there.

:D

[lizziegrace]

53. I think you're right

They were chasing in the panhandle of Texas for this particular incident. He saw 5 tornadoes and got some terrific video.

:)

[SPKrazy]

59. Wow...

5 tornadoes is an amazing thing to see in one trip! Most of the time I don't think chasers see them... but 5! I've seen 3, and not been chasing, just happened to see them.

Not at one time and over many years though.

You know they offer storm chasing vacations! Sign up and go chasing with professionals for a weekend or during the week I guess?

:D

[lizziegrace]

63. I've heard of those

I'm lucky to have a semi-professional chaser in the family (he's sold video to CNN) and he only chases with a professional. They're extremely careful. Getting caught up in the edge of that rain-wrapped tornado just shows how very unpredictable and dangerous they are.

:)

[SPKrazy]

72. Yeah, they are that

and then some... it's good he is very careful. I always laugh through that movie with Helen Hunt- Twister... those fools would have been dead 10 times over...

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

41. SPK and

butterflies?? ROFL :rofl:

Hi there! How are you tonight?

[SPKrazy]

47. Yeah, me and the butterflies...

that's a poster of butterflies, there is a place called Magazine Mountain near here that has 90 species of butterflies native to it. It is a pretty place, and one of the higher places in Arkansas.

I like butterflies :crazy: :rofl:

I'm doing all right! you?

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

57. Am well, happy

and looking forward to my 53rd next month! :woohoo:

[lizziegrace]

60. You certainly don't look it

:hug:

It's the trouble-maker in you, I know it is!

[SPKrazy]

62. She Doesn't Does She,

but then you and I don't look our age either do we ;)

I think we're all troublemakers and that keeps us young at heart!

[lizziegrace]

64. No we don't

we're still kids. ;)

[SPKrazy]

68. Sure are!

:rofl:

I still feel 18 until I try to run or something then I feel, not so much 18 :rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

65. Yes..I am wicked!

[SPKrazy]

71. Ya Are A Bit Aren't Ya!

;)

is that a web cam, or I know you said something upthread about it being your macbook... does it have a built in camera?

[Whoa_Nelly]

76. Yup..built in camera

All pics tonight are from that..all taken in the last hour or so.

(Except for the baby kiss I posted for Lizzie...that was taken 32 years ago ;) )

[SPKrazy]

78. that's cool...

i was thinking that the macbook had something like that...or some of them did.

:D

[SPKrazy]

61. Wooo Hooo!

I was in your old stomping grounds last week. We took SPK kid to the OKC zoo, the Cowboy Hall of Fame, The Omniplex, to see the Murrah building memorial, and some other places around there.

Happy Birthday in advance!

:D

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

66. Cowboy Hall of Fame!

:woohoo:

My grandfather (for whom am proud to say am named for!) was one of the founders of that place!

Am planning a trip to OKC sometime early June.

[SPKrazy]

70. Cool!

on both counts... grandfather and going to OKC!

:woohoo:

[lizziegrace]

69. Night y'all

I've got a volunteer committment in the morning. I've got to get some sleep.

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

73. Sweetest Dreams!

[lizziegrace]

74. Awww

I LOVE that photo.

:hug:


night...

[u4ic]

75. I love that pic, Nelly!

:loveya:


How are you this evening? :hug: :hi:

[lizziegrace]

77. Hey sweetie!!

:pals:



:hug:


I'm going to bed. Now. Really. Honest. :(

[u4ic]

81. Hi lizziegrace!

:loveya:

G'night, luv. Sweet dreams. :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

79. u4ic!

:woohoo:


Spring is springing and all is pretty good!

You? :pals: :loveya: :hug:

[u4ic]

83. It's great to hear you're doing well, Nelly!

:hug:


The Great Deadmonton Snow Melt-Off began last week. Most of it is gone now. :bounce:

With the exception of a nasty cold I woke up with yesterday morning, I'm doing well. I'm taking lots of vitamins and zinc and ginger tea, so here's hoping it'll be gone soon.

:loveya: :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

87. Zinc and C works everytime!

or at least shortens the duration!

Heal, I tell you! Heal!

[u4ic]

88. .

If you didn't knock it out of me, I'll sleep it off! :D

[Redstone]

80. Babycakes? I thought that word was a Mrs R original, but I guess not. Anyway, here's me,

just hanging around the outer office a long few nights ago:



Redstone

[Whoa_Nelly]

82. That is one of my all time FAVORITE pics!

Has you all over it!

Thanks for posting it!

:hi: Babycakes!

[Redstone]

85. I've made you happy? Then my work here is done, and well done at that,

and good night to you, m'dear.

And to all the other DUers as well.

Redstone

[PassingFair]

84. A painted picture of me.

It GLARES at people in my livingroom.

[Whoa_Nelly]

86. Quiet Omniscient Power

wow! Awesome painting!


Your glare makes me humble and am filled with the need to worship at the kitchen counter of the chocolate Jesus....
