Venus!




High above in the sky, there is world we very seldom think about,
but when something in the sky
ignites our interest,
we then realize, there is so much more out there.


Hope this makes you all smile, as that is its intention.

Enjoy

:O)

MEK in AZ said...

Cpgem - i saw the MOON!!!!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - You make me VERY happy!!!

:-)

let's march to TEN!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,
It won't be private anymore, anyone that can say the word Venus and figure out what it rhymes with, can certainly figure out that Ronnie, has a porn mind.. I guess that is why I like her so much...

(I crack myself up)


:O)

MEK in AZ said...

okay - I MUST go finish crafting!!

ibebold said...

Good Morning MEK... Congrats on 1st!!!
Hey Carol... Sucks when you can't even get 1st and you are posting it...

hope everyone has a great day... off to watch the video!!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,
Smiles to you :O)

And yes I know you saw the moon, you are like Jackie Gleason, always reminding me you saw the moon..

;O)

(again crack myself up)

night.owls.sb said...

Ibb,
HA, yea it sucks.. :O)

Zona said...

CPGEM: Loved the video, running commentary (you're so excited..it made me smile) and of course the word balloons. Thanks for the fun blog this morning!! Btw..did you ever find out if it WAS Venus..with a "V"??? ;)

MEK: Congrats on FIRST!

CPGEM: Oh my...first was snatched away!!! ;)

Zona said...

IBB: G'morning! Thanks for the explanation yesterday about Kevin Harvick's car.

night.owls.sb said...

Morning..

Zona, Mek, Ibb, and me..

Zona,
Yes, I am such a goof, I was so excited..

:O)

ibebold said...

CArol--I love the excitment in your voice during the video..
The first time I saw a planet. (last summer).. I made everyone come outside and look too... and I was working...

ibebold said...

Morning ZONA!!
and you are sooo welcome!!

night.owls.sb said...

Zona,
Yes, Whabby told me it was a "V" (all tho in his mind he was hoping for the "P") the problem is Ronnie, she keeps replacing the "V" with a "P"

night.owls.sb said...

Ibb,
I made everyone come out on the deck as well.. My mother thought it was light that the government put in the sky.. We just all looked at each other and cracked up, I then told her to go inside and make the coffee, she is so much better at that..

Zona said...

CPGEM: I completely understand how RONNIE could do that...cuz that's kinda the way my mind works too. :D

night.owls.sb said...

Zona,
And that is why I like you so much..
♥♥♥

Zona said...

CPGEM: Meyoutoo... ;)

Zona said...

CPGEM: Oooops...that should have been a " :) "

MEK in AZ said...

Good Morning, cpgem, IBB, Zona.

Heck, maybe it was a porch light!!

:-)

I am cracking myself up!!!!

Okay - now that Tug has done her morning duties....... I really need to get off the computer!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I saw Venus the other night as well,
it really is a beauty....

You should all try and see it.. Just think you can all make your own vids..

Fun!

MEK in AZ said...

and - I must stick up for Ronnie.

I believe it was ME that steered the conversation in that direction.

have to look after my friends!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - would you like to see a video of the moon!!!??

You have put a HUGE smile on my face this am.!!!!

:-)

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,

No, sticking up for Ronnie is not going to help, believe you me, the "P" was in her head long before yours..

night.owls.sb said...

Smiles are good...

I hope Lynnd, Shirley, iteach, Donnahart will smile too..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

I have to get my butt in gear....

Hope all has a good day...

:O)

Lois Lane said...

Congratulations MEK #1 hooter!!

It's a sad day when the gal who posts can't be first. Great video Carol.

*on standby waiting for Uranus jokes to begin*

goldie said...

Hi Hooters!

Way to grab 1st MEK!

BBL- busy day at work.

whabbear said...

LOL! I always joke with Mr Whabbear that Venus Wiliams has changed her name to Penis Williams!!

OMG, are you all serious that these are the first time you've ever seen a planet?? I'll have to get busy, as multiple planets are visible in the night sky every night! Venus is by far the brightest, but Jupiter is the second brightest, and puts on a pretty good show on its own.

In fact, what's totally fun with Jupiter is to look at it in binoculars. Presto! You see these 3 or 4 points of light surrounding it, and you know you're looking at Jupiter's satellites.

One of them, Europa, is now thought to have a subsurface ocean that contains more water than in all the Earth's oceans combined!

But back to Venus. If anybody's interested in understanding the behavior of Venus in our sky (in three months, you won't be able to see Venus at all. Three months after that, it will be visible only before sunrise), I wrote a little blog about it,

Venus if you will

at www.myspace.com/whabbear

P.S. I'm getting no financial incentive for this blog plug! LOL!

East Bay J said...

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS:

THE CANDY HAS BEEN OPENED!!

I am leaving it out today, so please help yourself! :)

**MR. EBJ opened it last night so I quickly took a pic before he attacked!!

Tina~in_ut said...

OMG!!! Ronnie and Mek have a penis in their head!!!!

Mek~ congrats on first~

Carol~ I can't watch the video, but it sounds like fun~

Whabby~ I've seen Venus, Jupiter and Penis~ The first two when I was little and asked my father the names of the stars in the sky and the third when my brother was born and pee'd on my mom when she changed his diaper~ I'm still looking for Uranus! (that was for you, NN) :)~

Tina~in_ut said...

thanks for the candy, EBJ~ where are the California Brittle's?

Zona said...

EBJ: Thanks!! I'll take what looks like a walnut square..right in the middle on the right side. Strictly for medicinal purposes dontcha know... ;)

East Bay J said...

Good morning hooters!

MEK congrats on 1st today!!

Carol if you post the blog about 7:30am Calif. time then I may have a shot at first one of these days! lol

LOVED the video this morning, and loved your commentary! You dropped the "A" bomb, too which was great!

Tina, the candy came as a pre-packaged nuts and chews assortment. One of these days I will go in and get all the stuff that I like), plus a few dark chocolates for MR. EBJ) :)

Zona, please help yourself to as much medicine as you need!!!

Whabby I thought you would be the first one to mention URANUS LOL

MEK in AZ said...

HAPPY DANCE!!!

The candy is FINALLY OPEN!!!!!

just what I needed this a.m.


Thanks, EBJ!!!

Lois - I was thinking the same thing -
:-0

Goldie - yep, I swooped right in there!! HOpe you don't have to work too hard!!

whabby - living in the desert - and with the light polution band thingy - we see ALL kinds of things in the sky!! It's quite spectacular!!

Tina - LOL... good morning!!

IBB - hope you get all your errands ran/run!!

Just_Lin said...

MEK Congrats on #1. I'm glad you didn't moon us. ;)

Carol I loved the video. It made me laugh so much! And I love your family, too. Your mom's comment about a government light really cracked me up! I'm glad that was Venus in the sky and not the other "P" word in the sky. Or would that be the Big Dipper? Bwhahaha!!!

LL/NN Very good point. Has anyone talked about Uranus lately? :D

Zona said...

BEAR: Unfortunately, since I live in the city...about the only thing I see in the sky usually says "Southwest" on the side. ;)

TINA: And I bet you've seen at least one of those many, many, many, many more times since then..jus' sayin... ;)

MEK: Done and Uncle!! ;)

HI GOLDIE, J/L and LL/NN!

Zona said...

50 for TINKA!

Lois Lane said...

Great minds MEK!

No Just_Lin. No one seems to care much about my anus. :) BUT...hahah, butt... just looking at East Bay's candy, is turning it into a big deal.

Whabbear, since you are so knowledgeable, can you tell me why a hemorrhoid is not called an asteroid? I'll wait patiently for your answer. :)

kahonugrl said...

Hello Hooters~!

kahonugrl said...

What does the Star Ship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common?

They circle around uranus wiping out Klingons


K that is my one contribution to today's Uranus joke....

kahonugrl said...

56

Just_Lin said...

LL/NN LOL @ asteroid!

Kgrl Hooting back atcha!

East Bay J said...

AWESOME march to 69 Kgirl!!!

LL loved the asteroid question. It DOES make sense!

I just saw that there is a web site set up where you can make a donation (by Paypal) or leave a comment for the mom of octuplets.

Just_Lin said...

EBJ I'll get right on it. NOT!!!

kahonugrl said...

I did not want to comment on yesterdays blog until I had read up on it.....and I DVR'd the Ann Curry interview last night. Have not had a chance to watch all of it yet as I fell asleep watching it, which I don't understand cause it was taking my normally very low blood pressure quite HIGH!

BUT.. that woman has some serious issues and appears to be a fame whore.

Carol....we have been enjoying the lightshow in our skies the last few nights. We actually almost went for a midnight hike last night cause it is so bright out right now due to the moon.

I hope all hooters who are sick, hurting, recovering, planning an attack (where the hell is Shirley?) are doing better!

sacBarb said...

Happy Hump Day Owls.

Carol, I DID get a big smile from today's video. I love the little thought bubbles.

NN, and is asphalt a hemorrhoidal (is that a word?) condition???

MEK, you got #1 and FORE too.

Zona, LOL @ Southwest.

EBJ, I'll take some of that medicinal chocolate.

Waving at all the other Owls. BBL

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb LMAO @ asphalt! Us Bay Area folks always have to worry about living near the asphalt.

EBJ You might want to hide those candies from me as I need lots of chocolate these days.

Lois Lane said...

Nice one, kahonugrl!

Great question Barb, maybe Whabbear can answer that one too.

I think the word asphalt would be a short and sweet way of blaming one's spouse.

kahonugrl said...

Oh and Carol?

There we're 3 Oh My Goodness's
3 WOW's and 3 OK's.

And 2 Bye's


lol

East Bay J said...

Kgirl, you forgot the 1 AMAZING!!

East Bay J said...

JL please EAT THE CHOCOLATE!!

The box is still nearly full, we have only had 1 piece each.

Now that is AMAZING!

Just_Lin said...

LL/NN Good one! LOL

Kgrl I wonder how many Carol would have said if she would have seen Venus during the daytime a week or so ago?

kahonugrl said...

EBJ.... I am thinking that only multiples count...bwahahahaha

J/lin: And there probably would have been a stupendous in there somewhere right?

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle...

HA! thanks for counting all words.. lol.. my family and SSO, always say that I repeat myself, and they are so right...

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Nadya's family has a website, and is accepting donations thru pay pal..

Can you imagine????

I updated yesterdays blog, and included the link if anyone wants to take a look...

Maureen said...

good evening feathered friends!

My contribution to the Uranus discussion...

My ass is defective..it has a crack in it

Ok, one more...

The asshole that robbed me was named Uranus D. Polk...seriously.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Evening everyone.

K-girl I'm around, just not feeling very sociable.

Carol the video did make me smile. Thanks. ((HUGS))

Just_Lin said...

MO The asshole who robbed you is named Uranus? Oh, my! No wonder he went bad.

Shirley Good to see you.

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY...Hi! How is week 2 going?

JUST LIN...I even told the cop that when a parent names their child Uranus, how could they expect any less then for it to grow up to be an asshole. Self fulfilling prophecy!

Tina~in_ut said...

Carol~ that is the cutest video ever~ I loved it...thanks for sharing..the pop ups were hilarious~ And no....twikling is not a word...but twinkling is~ :)~

MEK in AZ said...

Cpgem - if you look outside RIGHT now - you can see Venus!!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

120

Just_Lin said...

Carol I just went outside and looked at Venus. Beautiful!

MEK Thanks for reminding me to go look before the next round of rain clouds obscure it. :)

East Bay J said...

We had the most gorgeous sunset tonight! I will have to go look for Venus now.

Shirley, I hope you helped yourself to some chocolate when you stopped by! :)

JoeyfromSC said...

Hey y'all! I just wanted to pop in and speak for a minute! My brother has been burning his demo cd all day on the laptop, so I haven't been able to get online lol

I'll try to be back later!

Idol is 2 hours tonight!!:)

Congrats on first MEK!

RonnieGirl said...

Good evening Owls,

I was planning on flying in and making a little 'nice-nice' this evening, but Carol you left it WIDE OPEN for porn. I'll refrain from adding too much to the already stated information from everyone. Remember, I'm the reserved one.

Here we go...

Carol: Loved your video about Venus. V, or P, it's all relative to what's on ones mind. You tickled me about your mother being sent into the house to make coffee. Btw, I'm the nice one...member?

MEK: Congratulations on being first, and taking up for me.

Tina: You know it's not in my head. Geez, how would one function using THAT for a brain. Well, some men do, I guess. Just sayin'.

EBJ: Thanks for the candy. I was just wondering who was taking a sample bite out of them and putting them back. Oh yeah, I think I saw Carol do that a few times.

SacBarb: Thank you for the Hump-Day wishes. I promise, I'm not going there...

LOL @ Asphalt, Uranus, and Asteroids. You ladies can out-do me any day of the week.

Shirley: It's so good to see you. I've missed you and your beautiful sense of humor.

Kgirl: Klingons??? OMG

ibb: Hey girlfriend! I remember Jackie Gleason, with his "To the moon, Alice, to the moon". Fun memories. Enjoy you time off, my friend.

Zonababeee: Seeing 'Southwest' in the sky is a good thing because that means somebody is getting to go somewhere. Maybe up there just to get a closer look at Venus/Penis.

Mo: Good evening. How's tricks? Is that porn? No. Well maybe. Nawww.

Waving Hi to all the nesters and hope everyone had a good day. Thanks, Carol, for ending mine with laughter.

J/L: I just went outside and saw it too. Beautiful. All we need is some more of Carols AMAZING commentary. Gotta love her.

Whabby: My SO was a pilot with Eastern Airlines for many years and shared many of the planet sightings. It's so fascinating. Of course the most fascinating was his venus.

RonnieGirl said...

Ill be back in a little while, still not over my virus.

Mary/MI said...

My sister called me an hour ago. She said the man that hurt Jaimie had 3 prior felonies! He will be going to Prison. I can't believe he wasn't already there!

The police told her he had two whiskey bottles on him(almost gone), They told her to bring all her medical bills and they will see they are taken care of. Michigan has a victims fund.
I think I remember reading somewhere that they are trying to get rid of it because so many people are "draining" it!
WTF does that mean?
Thanks everyone for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

I was gone all day and haven't seen the video or read the comments. Hope to BBL

night.owls.sb said...

Mary,
Thank Goodness, that Bastard will be sent away, he should have been away along time ago.. Bastard!

I will continue sending good thoughts your way..

:O)

MEK in AZ said...

No spoiler here.

but - I'm not sure I am enjoying Idol tonight!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I had a stressful day @ work..

So glad to come home to AIdol 2nite.. So fun to watch...

I also watched the video for the 1,234.00.00 time and cracked up again..

Tina,
I learned how to spell two words this week cause of the nest.. Labia and Twinkling!!

Always good to learn.. :O)

Ronnie,
Glad your day is ending with a smile.. And yes I agree you are the reserved one, however reserved for exactly what?

Maureen said...

MEK...keep watching...the end is GREAT! Is that a spoiler???

MARY...I'm glad Jaimie doesn't have to go to trial. Victims fund will pay fer her to get counseling if she wants it. prayers to your family

night.owls.sb said...

I am so glad some went outside to see Venus.. So cool.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,
I liked AIdol 2nite, keep watching, the ending is great...

I am happy with the results, well except for one very annoying person, but I can't saw who yet...

night.owls.sb said...

"can't say who yet"

Oops...

night.owls.sb said...

Mo,
We think alike... :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Shirley,
Glad I made you smile, hope work is going well, miss ya!

EBJ,
Finally, I was dying here, so glad you opened the candy...

night.owls.sb said...

How funny, Mek needs a nap after marching.. :o)

night.owls.sb said...

Zona,
Smack yourself...lol..

My SSO just says...

"You said that five times already"

He always uses "five" when I probably only say it three time..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

ok..its getting late...

BBL

MEK in AZ said...

OH - I see what the end is going to be.......

Birthday, so we named her Lena. We didn't like the lina" spelling. She is 10 years younger than me. She was my Mother's very unexpected late-in-life baby. Her daughter's are Jaimie & Raquel.
Didn't mean to write a novel lol.

ibebold said...

Good Nightr Mary...SWeet dreams...
I am off also...
good night all!!!

whabbear said...

G'd night, IBB and Mary!

Lois:

They call them hemorrhoids because, back in the day, an old wives tale used to make the rounds that if women didn't dress themselves meticulously, the hems of their dresses could stick to a 'rhoid.

They call them asteroids in honor of the person who discovered them, John Jacob Astor.

Sorry to make you wait so long for the answer! LOL!

Jodi said...

CAROL - I'm here.....just in the middle of a 6 day stretch at work. Luv'd your video!!!

I hope everyone has a good Thursday. :O)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Carol and Mo work is OK. I seem to be getting the hang of all the paper work a little better than last week. Dealing with the clients is still difficult. I'm really glad to come home at the end of the day and lock the door behind me. Thanks for asking.

Birdee said...
