This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

Mints
by Bonachichi
I was going to write something about this, then decided it was pointless.
Wait a minute...flavorless...mints..that's it isn't it? Mints have a particular flavor so they can't be flavorless!!! WooHoo!!! I get it!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!
Shirley, You got it Miss Sunshine. BTW, how is your Mum?
Bonachichi, Yes, pointless.
Happy Tuesday Owls. It's election day here and I am sooooo tired of campaign ads I could puke. Unfortunately, since it's only a primary, it will only get worse. UGH!
SacBarb I am leaving shortly to go up to mum's. She is doing ok, thanks for asking. Some days are more painful than other days, but living with cancer I guess you would expect that.
Good morning Hooters and YAY DeeDee!! She gets the point of the blog, which is that there is no point! It says so, right there on the package. Nihilist.
Contrary to its appearance, the blog is a thinker. It would be a shame to spoil the moment of epiphany some of you will have later. I am very happy that Shirley shared hers with us.
Interesting and "what will they think of next?" kinda blog Bona.
Just got back from Dr. - 10 more days on anti-inflam's and then PT. Said that they believe the Rotator cuff tendons are still swollen and being 'pinched' by the shoulder movement. They said- "if it hurts don't do it" (no shit sherlock), and keep icing, and doing exercises with it. When I come back from Vac. (the 1st 2 weeks of July)they will do an MRI if not better.
EXCUSE ME- I need this shoulder to golf with and play with grandchildren. It better be ok by the time I leave for vacation!- LOL
At least I get to keep off the sling now for the most part and can type with both hands! I was getting pretty damn good with one though.. :)
Hmmm no flavor but hopefully there is that pleasant scent. Strange...BONACHICHI.,,wonder where you get these as I don't think I have seen them at my local store....:)
What damn surprise to see TINA as first. Hey TINA, what happened yesterday? Only one more day until your weekend. When are you going to California? Are you and Bonachichi going to get to meet for a lunch this time?
SHIRLEY: Did you see my post to you in ARea 51 about the boob separator that was on Leno last night? He even said DEEDEE's exact (well maybe not exact)words on what would work for separating those boobs. DEEDEE: Did you happen to see the show?
GOLDIE: Hope you get good news at the doctor today. I am still in PT for my Achilles and it is not one bit better. I am getting nervous that I may end up with surgery because I sure can't continue this pain and walking issues.
SACBARB: (or as I like to say SACMARY/BARb) I am really sorry that your son lost his job. It is even worse with no notice. I will continue to send good thoughts to him and hope he will find something else right away. Maybe you should give him the Bronco bag to take on interviews and it might help is chances :) (just trying to add a little humor to a hard time for you)
CAROL: I would love to see that show you saw over the weekend. Maybe it will come to Denver next year. We have Young Frankenstein next week and then next month is South Pacific and I can't wait for that one...I know all the words to every song (don't you wish you would be there sitting next to me after spending all that money on a ticket to hear me sing)?
BONACHI: Hmmmm...sixty pieces of essentially nothing..sounds like a deal! Actually, I'm almost positive I've seen these in our favorite used record store. They have the coolest stuff there..but very few records. I guess I should start calling it the new and used cd and dvd with some records in the corner store..but nah, why bother.. ;)
TINA: Oh definitely humble..but pretty too! :D
SHIRLEY: Hello Sunshine! Where will you stick your gold star? ;)
SACBARB: I'm so sorry to hear that your son has lost his job..I hope he can find another one soon.
GOLDIE: Why do doctor's always say that? It must be one of the first things they learn in med school! I'm praying that you heal quickly!
DIANNE: I'm sorry to hear that your Achilles is causing you so much pain. I feel bad that you are hurting so much. Maybe Mr D can give you a nice massage and help you feel better when he comes home.. :)
Waving HI to CAROL and DEEDEE!
Time to jump in the pool..I hope everyone has a good afternoon!
what I meant to say earlier Bona, was if they are tasteless- how do we now they are mint? They could be wintergreen, cow shit or any other flavor.......... hmmmm
DIANNE...i hope you don't need to have surgery on your achilles. Praying the PT finally kicks in and you will be back to pole dancing and shaking your tassels soon!
For those still walking around with ?'s on their foreheads, a nihilist is defined as a person who believes existence has no objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Mints that aren't minty may just be nihilistic.
Then, there the "What's flavorless" question? Is water flavorless? If something tastes like water, doesn't water have a taste? How do you make something completely flavorless?
The ironies are abundant if you just keep an open mind. For anyone who misses this subtle humor, I'm sorry you weren't able to have a chuckle.
Joanne had her appt. with the ocnoclogist, radiologist and gastrointerologist today. The colon cancer is stage 3, but is very treatable and she can live many years with it. The treatment will depend on the pancreas. She finally consented to have the scope so they can determine if she has pancreatic cancer or not. If she does, then the colon cancer treatment will not be as aggressive. Only enough to make sure she is comfortable and not in pain from it. If she doesn't have it then the treatment will be more aggressive in the radiation and the type of chemo she will have. She seems to want to have treatment, so she doesn't seem as depressed. She is bound and determined to go the wedding in July, and the docs agreed that after the scope and they have the facts they will delay all treatment until she returns from the wedding. That made her feel a lot better.
She has no dietary restrictions, so when I go tomorrow I am going to take her some edible food!!!
CHI CHI...head over to Cantors, Jerry's or Junior's and order a large one. And if you feel really crazy, order an egg cream. It's a chocolate phosphate with cream!
Maureen it's good to hear that Joanne is ready to fight and wants to go to the wedding. That's great! Take the woman a milkshake and a burger tomorrow!!
SacBarb I hope your son isn't unemployed for long.
Whoa... an egg cream is a phosphate with cream? Who knew? I thought it was something with an egg in it.
Goldie, I didn't mean any disrespect about the noun. That never did make sense to me. You can have a chocolate mint, a peppermint mint and a mint mint. What makes a mint? Obviously, it doesn't have to be mint.
huh?~
ReplyDeletelol bonachichi~
ReplyDeleteI'm so freaking pretty~
....and humble~
ReplyDeleteI'm prettier!!
ReplyDeleteToday's blog has kind of gone over my head Bonachichi. I may need an explanation afterall. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteTina, Well, there you are Miss Pretty!

Diane, they are a real thing. http://www.mcphee.com/shop/
ReplyDeleteI will have to get my blimp out. I'll park it over Tina's parents' house and not move it until she comes out to play.
Goldie & Dianne; So sorry you're both not 100%.
Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteBONACHI: Hmmmm...sixty pieces of essentially nothing..sounds like a deal! Actually, I'm almost positive I've seen these in our favorite used record store.

Waving HI to CAROL and DEEDEE!
Time to jump in the pool..I hope everyone has a good afternoon!
From 51:
ReplyDeleteMARY: YAY! I'm glad you found your license! btw...any leftovers? Your dinner sounded delish!
MO: Alec Baldwin plus wafting cool breezes? Sounds like a little bit of heaven to me! :)
JODI: Sorry about it being more of surprise than intended..lol.. ;)
J/LIN: We get to enjoy the cool nineties for 3 wonderful days! :D
BONACHI: Technically summer doesn't get here until June 20..but we so hate to be left behind.. ;D
Ok..now off to the pool!
Zona since you asked...bend over!
ReplyDeletewhat I meant to say earlier Bona, was if they are tasteless- how do we now they are mint? They could be wintergreen, cow shit or any other flavor.......... hmmmm
ReplyDeleteFee fye fo fum
ReplyDeleteI smell the smell
From someone's bum!
Goldie they couldn't be "wintergreen, cow shit or any other flavor..." because they are flavorless...remember?!!
ReplyDeleteZona, why bother indeed! Hope your epiphany was good for you!
ReplyDeleteGoldie, I think "mint" is used as a noun as opposed to an adjective in this instance. Shirley, I do believe your epiphany is complete.
ReplyDeleteThe Nihilist Mint Company also sells chocolate water, if anyone's interested.
Bonachichi does this mean you want me to shut up now!?!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not, Shirley! I am just happy that you "get" the blog!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...chocolate water! Has anyone had a chocolate phosphate? Seltzer water and chocolate sauce...soooo good!
ReplyDeleteTINA...ummm, maybe you should look up the definition of humble...ijs!!!
GOLDIE...sorry your shoulder is still so painful. I am glad you didn't tear the rotator cuff.
BEBBI...where are you??????
DIANNE...i hope you don't need to have surgery on your achilles. Praying the PT finally kicks in and you will be back to pole dancing and shaking your tassels soon!

The ironies are abundant if you just keep an open mind. For anyone who misses this subtle humor, I'm sorry you weren't able to have a chuckle.
Okay, stupid question here... Is a chocolate phosphate really just chocolate & bubbly water? Where's the phosphate come from?

ReplyDeleteSacBarb I hope your son isn't unemployed for long.
who knew all these years out of school and I would get a lesson on nouns!
ReplyDeleteMO- good to hear that Joanne is willing, and that she gets to go to the wedding.
Dianne, I really hope you get some relief soon.
Whoa... an egg cream is a phosphate with cream? Who knew? I thought it was something with an egg in it.

Mo.. I am glad Joann is willing to fight.. it seems she is so looking forward to the wedding.. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteSooo I think I got the blog.. makes sense kinda.. thxs Bonacci for clearing it all up.. I think!
ReplyDeleteDianne..
ReplyDeleteI hope PT works.. just keep thinking positive!
and btw.. who the heck would even want a flavorless mint anyway!
ReplyDeleteZona.. I am still ♪♪dance dance dancing♪♪
:O)
I have to make friends with my pillow now.. I feel sleepy..
ReplyDeleteso of I go..
