Personal Political Agenda

Archibald_Tuttle — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:40:23 -0500

Someone has to do something.
.......Then I thought, we are that someone.

I want historians of 2062 to point to December 14 and I want them to
point to Sandy Hook, Ct and say, "This is where it started. This was the
tipping point which brought us our new Pax Americana" .
I've taken the Sandy Hook Promise and encourage you to promise and ask all those you know to look at http://www.sandyhookpromise.org/.

Thanks....

Wicked Stawm Comin'!

3.5 to 4 FEET of snow is expected in north coastal
Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine. We're
expecting 18-24 inches where I live. Sustained winds of 25-35 MPH, with
gusts up to 75 MPH. It's the blizzard of 1978 all over again, except a
bit further east. Send us your plows and plow drivers, thumble--we're
going to need them!

Its Christmas

Merry Christmas everybody!!

Hope you all have good time ..

I killed my laptop, my bird is sick, I went to a class reunion, and my cousin died.

mrsthing — Sun, 06 May 2012 17:42:30 -0400

And that was just Saturday. (Facebook friends will already know this stuff.)

I drank some coffee and it went down the wrong way, and before I knew what was happening I was spraying coffee all over the laptop. I immediately turned it upside down and ran and got a towel and dried it off, but the middle of the keyboard was trashed. Poor Mr. Thing had to go to the Apple store and buy a new one, and he was none too pleased about it. Today he had to take it back so their "Genius" could clone it to the old one for him. The old one was pretty awful anyway. The 6 key cover was missing, and the key bed was getting so it wouldn't register no matter how you wiggled your finger. A lot of the keys had the letters scratched off from years of use. It ran old versions of Microsoft office and Firefox that weren't compatible with any other computers in the house (we have four). I'm thrilled to have a new one, even if I still have to share it. Pleas to Mr. Thing to buy two new laptops went unheeded. Probably because it was my fault the old one died.

My Kiri is sick. He has kidney disease. It doesn't look good. He's at the vet this weekend, being treated. I hope he survives, but I'm not optimistic. Meanwhile, his cage mate, Ama, is going berserk.

I went to an all-class reunion at my high school yesterday. It was exhausting, peering at people's nametags, trying to match a memory to the name, then trying to reconcile the face in front of me with the face I remembered from 30-splunge years ago. But it was interesting to catch up with girls who hated my guts in high school and were so happy to see me yesterday.

My elderly cousin died on Friday. Kind of a relief, as she'd been in a stroke rehab place for the last 4-5 years, unable to speak or care for herself. But she was the last of my mother's generation. Now I'm the oldest generation on my mother's side of the family. There are still a lot of us left, but it's weird to have no elders.

John, may I adopt you? I need a grownup in my life.

A ROYAL BABY!!

thumble — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:12:04 -0500

Well, Wills and Kate figured out how to do it, after some coaching from Paparazzi with long distance lenses.

Good luck to them. MrsThumble was wondering what would happen if Kate produced twins, and they lost track of which one came out first.

That would be a dilemma for the Archbishop, wouldn't it? It might be the Royal Family's first case of Rapid Succession.

Happy Birthday to my favourite Fanny!

Yeah, our dear Fanny was born on this day.

Old members, try not to turn this into a discussion thread.

OBAMA WON!

mrsthing — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:52:36 -0500

We all won!

Romney hasn't conceded yet; most of the votes haven't been counted yet; I suppose I could wake up to one of those "Dewey Defeats Truman" moments, but right now, all the networks are calling the election for President Obama. Even Fox News!

AND

Elizabeth Warren won; Akin and Mourdock were defeated; Ryan retained his seat; Alan West was in a tie with his challenger in Florida last I heard.

I Was Signed Off Without My Consent

thumble — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 18:05:10 -0400

Hey, what's going on there Admin-type peepuls?

I have been checking back in on a daily basis, wondering why there was no activity on the site (as in "new comments") and just last night, same again, except that I noticed in the top right corner a little notice that said something like "Welcome Stranger". I wondered why I was suddenly a stranger, and checked what that meant, and it seems I had been signed out without knowing it. As soon as I logged in (good thing I always use the same password) I saw an overwhelming list of comments that were apparently only visible to non-strangers.

I really must protesteth. I don't protest too much, I just didn't expect to get logged out cynically and secretly! I feel as though I've been shivering in the cold while all you guys have been prancing around drinking mead and gobbling chicken drumsticks in front of a roaring fire.

Hrrrumphhh is all I can say.

Bravo Britain!!! Olympics Opened with great Panache!!!

thumble — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:07:43 -0400

The Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies were amazing. The Queen taking a
helicopter ride with James Bond! Mr Bean running in the Chariots of
Fire theme...Becks riding a rainbow-lit speedboat along the Thames! It
doesn't get any better than that!

Today A Year Ago

chris14 — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:10:05 -0400

It happened a year ago. A full year has passed since 17th of June 2011.

It was the day when we all met up. We met up lovely people there. A good deal of lovely forum members. There was a nice guy, a blond one, Garry, do you remember him? And another guy, a very tall one, who came to us and talked to us. What was his name again? I think it was like some type of cheese or something similar. I really can't recall his name. But he was nice, too, wasn't he?

A Belated Birthday Thread for Lozzy

mrsthing — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:21:23 -0400

Happy Birthday, Lozzy! Sorry it's late; I just assumed someone else would take care of it. I guess we all did. But I hope you had a wonderful day last Friday!

HOWDY

CPDolly — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:14:14 -0400

Hope shouting is still allowed.

It's been a long time away from the Land of Cheese, hope you haven't forgotten about me.

Before anyone asks, no, there's nothing good enough to be shared fron what I filmed in Oxford.

HEY, PEOPLE, I'VE BEEN BUSY AS FUCK! :))

Happy Birthday, Chris!

mrsthing — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:11:01 -0400

Happy Twenty-Splunge Birthday! I hope you recover from your celebrating in time to start celebrating again!

John Cleese is Dead

thumble — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 21:27:06 -0500

Very sad, but he tried to stick his fork in the table while hitting his head with his fist, and got it the wrong way round. He died angry with restaurant staff, as we all expected he would, and is rumored to have left everything to Eric Idle.

The funeral is next Thursday, but he already said "Fuck!" as the fork was entering his brain, so no repeat of Graham's service.

There will be an audition to select pallbearers. Must be able to lift at least one of their feet above their head (not the one that's directly beneath the coffin-bearing shoulder, but the other one).

Must also be the same height as all the others. And wear bowler hats.

Very, very sad. (this thread, not the event itself).

Robot Rumble

mrsthing — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:29:25 -0400

Miss Thing's robotics team WON the regional tournament last weekend, earning them a berth at the nationals at the end of next month. Here's a video for anyone who's interested. I just love it when the robot falls over. It's hard to figure out what's going on, but the kids are operating the robots remotely, and they have to get the basketballs into the basket, then, as near the end of the match as possible, they need to balance on the ramp at the side of the pit. The middle ramp gets points, but not at the end of the match. I'm not sure how the scoring goes.

And now we're fundraising like crazy to try to earn the $850/person to get 30 team members and mentors to St. Louis by the end of next month. They had a car wash today...March 17. March 17 is NOT usually car wash weather in southern New England. But it came off warm, so we were in luck.

Favorite Din-Dins

thumble — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 14:24:51 -0500

Yaaay! Tonight we're having my favourite - STANDING RIB ROAST!!!!!!!.

Thumble is blessed by the fact that MrsThum is indeed a cheffess of monumental proportions and reputation. My buddy is bringing over some fine Italian wine (Barolo I believe) and life is good.

I thought that worthy of an announcement anyway.

Who The Fuck Is Lozzbean?

lozzykinz — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:15:18 -0500
