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!
J/L: Very funny pictures/blog. I loved the one of the monkeys all over the car and in the luggage!!
I work up toooooo early and thought for sure I would get first but obviously not early enough. Good Morning, TINA. Are you wide awake today and didn't oversleep? I think I would oversleep every day with your hours....did I ever tell you that I am not a morning person?
Morning BEBBI; How was your walk for TINK last night? Would you mind walking for me today? Thanks
Di: It was great, she got over 300 calories burned..I posted a pic of the workout..over 3 miles. I walked 2.5 this morning at 5 a.m., but the next one's for you Di. :)
Wow, Owls! As we witness the struggle for basic human rights and human dignity playing out across state after state this year (and just wait until next year!), every time I see another one of these I get angry all over again. And they just keep on coming.
Tina - Thanks for thinking my QODT was funny but do owls know I was quoting your "Jesus, Mary, Joseph" from your comment? Your post should have been there too. Did you get my e-mail?
I didn't sleep well last night. I was watching our election results late into the night and then I couldn't settle down. I am such a creature of habit and so are my "fur babies". I guess I am too old to change that.
Just _Lin - I loved the pictures. It made me feel better about not being able to get out of the house much. I am getting a scooter this month but if I have my doggies on leashes then I think I will have Jack along just in case.
Cassowary's are large flightless birds found in New Guinea and Northern Australia. The 4th picture from the top is a cassowary..
They can and will disembowel a human or a dog with one kick. I have 3 of them on my Island Paradise on FB...they haven't attacked me because I stay clear of them and I am always packing heat...but they have scared the bejesus out of several of my neighbors when they have dropped by to pillage my island...
One of them got after Zona and she ran so fast that when she ran out of land she walked on water for about 50 feet until she feel and sprained her ankle....lol
Speaking of Kathy...I had a dream about her last night...the only thing I remember we meet on a dark tarmac to join each other on a private plane to I don't know where....and she was thin....
Bear~ I emailed the link to my friends here at work and we're having a lively discussion thanks to you~
Tinka~ i got ur email.....will look at it when i get home~ And I'm sure everyone knows that you were quoting my JMJ.....but J/L didn't have me in the quote when she sent it~ :)~ And I'm SURE everyone knows you'd NEVER say a bad word out loud let alone type it~ :D
The dentist thing is not so bad no that the guy I am seeing is for the gum restoration work and he is dreamy....
I have a little song about him...however this IS NOT a "song o the day" selection....
DOCTOR LONG JOHN
"Doctor Long John. My dreams are full of Doctor Long John." I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall. I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall. His name is Doctor Long John and he answers every call.
You know, I went to Long John's office. I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me." I went to Long John's office. I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing." He said, "Don't worry, baby. It's just your cavity needs a little filling."
He took out his trusty drill. Told me to open wide. He said he wouldn't hurt me, but he filled my whole inside. Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away. No. 'Cause you thrill me when you drill me, and I don't need no novocain today.
Oh, when he got done drilin' he said, "Now, Mr. Michael, that is going to cost you ten." "I was prepared to pay twenty" Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said, "Baby, that's gonna cost you ten. But if it ever starts in to throbbing, come back and see old Long John again and again and again and again and again. Oh, yeah. Yow!
"Long John. I sold my heart to Doctor Long John and I will never, never be the same. Oh, that's so heavy I just gotta lay back."
All I can say about the right to marriage and anything else anyone wants that seems to be an entitlement to some and not others....
is...what are they so afraid of...how many homosexuals does God have to create before people realize HE WANTS THEM HERE!!!
And the sanctity of marriage is a joke! An institution? I think not....heterosexuals have the right...and they exercise it..to get drunk in Vegas...get married...and have it annulled the next day! We have in excess of a 50% divorce rate in this country! Give another faction of society a chance to see if they can get it right!! And even if we don't we still have the right to embarrass ourselves and screw it up the way that the heteros have!
But still...what gets me the most is that the people most opposed are usually "squirrels" just waiting to duck into an airport restroom and scamper up some guys pants leg to get a handful of nuts!
Tinka...you know how sometimes you are dreaming and you just "wake up"..? Thats what happened....but I can tell you she was a vision in a ankle length cashmere coat...Burberry I think...
I didn't write those lyrics...its an old Bette Midler song that she did before she had to worry about what her daughter would think and hear....lol
Michael - It sounded like you wrote it. Did you change words to fit your situation? You must have because it fit so perfectly.
The cashmere coat Zona was wearing was probably the one I sent her at Christmas. She is a lovely vision in it. Of course I am very prejudice as she is my daughter and I love her.
I fully agree with what you said about marriage. Their reasoning is always ridiculous.
Shirley has been working very hard lately doing taxes. Soon she will be bringing us meals again. I miss the Slim Fast Shirley.
Tinka: Yes, I did disappear... into a morning full of work-related meetings!
Tina: Would love hear the result of the dialog you've initiated... and thank you for doing that! Dialog is absolutely necessary between those of us who might be interpreted as belonging to the "radical homosexual lobby" (like the subversive Heidi and Michael... I'm must less radical myself, of course) and those in churches who oppose providing same-sex couples with the opportunity to have the state recognize their partnerships.
J/LIN: Those pics make me want to stay inside more than I do already..lol..they also remind me of the time a pigeon pooped on my head after Mr Z and I had a teensy disagreement and I left the store..I always thought he sent that bird after me..now I'm much more careful about what I say..I mean..ya never know..do you? ;D
TINA: Hello Gorgeous! Ready for a nap? ;D
DIANNE: What were you doing up so early? You know you might have to wait until Thursday to beat TINA at first.. :D
MICHAEL: Was there a lot of fog in your dream..and maybe a French policeman? If so, the fog might explain why you thought I was thin..lol..I wonder where we were going? Maybe to get a DC? :D
I remember you sending your angry ol' birds after my alpacas..I had to close down my island..I could no longer pay the ransom.. ;)
BEBBI: I walked this morning too! Just for 30m though.. :)
TINKA: You're right..it must have been the coat you sent me for Christmas..I'm sorry I don't wear it more often..it gets so hot here..I'll have to save it for when I come visit you! :)
BEAR: Are you going to be able to go to Palm Springs this weekend..it's gonna be hot..perhaps in more ways than one?..just remember..all work and no play makes BEAR growl..and not in a good way.. ;)
Good Morning GOLDIE! Whew..I just made it..it's almost noon!! :D
SHIRLEY: Yay! You're finally free! Get some rest! :)
MO: I'm glad your back is feeling a little better..don't worry..I'll keep that candle lit for you!! :)
I hear Mr Z's alarm..but don't hear him getting up..better go give him a shake and a poke..
and another thing!..another subversive thing...lol
Why is there so much talk on the "DOMA" and radical side of the house about gay sex!!??
Have you EVER heard a representative of the LGBT community speak of the oppositions sex practices?
Intimacy born of love comes in many forms...and they are all personal and private. Anyone who has ever been in love and "That" close to someone certainly knows what I am talking about. Its so much more than inserting a penis into a vagina and releasing fluid that creates life... Don't get me wrong...we all owe our lives to that amazing act..... However...in debating the pros and cons of gay marriage I find it insulting and degrading for people who clearly would understand the physical intimacy that 2 people in love share....reduce their arguments to discussing things they know nothing about....
and if I may speak candidly...I have heard a woman describe how gay men ram their penis into another mans lower colon and "wiggle" it in excrement. I am 54 years old and have always been gay and I have never heard or seen any sort of the thing and I have been deeply in love...and I have had "seen the face of God" sex...
and to be talked about and judged by people who clearly don't measure up to the moral standards that I live my life by is infuriating...
I don't mean to judge these people as they try to judge me....I really wish I knew a way of helping them release their fear and ignorance..
I know in my heart that people would be happier if they could release their fear and let love and brotherhood flow rather than hate and division. And I know deep down they want to....but how to help these people see clearly enough to follow whats in their hearts eludes me....
Come to think of it Kathy..I think there may have been fog...but I know what I saw!
Tinka...
Yes...lots of wildlife! Raccoons..rabbits..opossums...owls...hawks...skunks...snakes...birds birds birds...tarantulas....once I thought we had a lost Amazonian tribe and chimps but it just turned out to be the neighbors foraging for food in the woods...
speaking of birds....Lisa and I were in Rome once and Lisa had gone down on one knee feeding the birds and suddenly they swarmed her...she extended both arms and it just made a splendid photograph...
then I said...ok my turn!! ...do me! do me! So I assumed the position. A new flock of pigeons flew in for my photo session! I extended my arms...and I guess the birds must have just had burritos or something because apparently they all had diarrhea...I was covered with it! Needless to say..my photo wasn't as nice as Lisas.... :/
with age comes wisdom...I would no more touch one of those filthy diseased winged poop monsters than a man in the moon now!!
Oh MICHAEL: I just have to laugh picturing the birds flying with poop on you. The visual of Lisa was so nice and then those mean old birds not cooperating for the next picture. I would love to see that picture of you as I would bet Lisa was taking it with a smile!
Just home from a dr appt and now I leave in a couple of hours to talk to a place about possible volunteer work. I need to do something more than I do right now.
ZONA: What a nice dream you are in floating in your beautiful coat. I see that visual too. I am full of visuals today.
Michael - That was an outstanding essay you wrote about love in all its forms. I couldn't begin to comment on it. I just don't have the words that you do. All I can say is "Kudos". You should send that letter to a few people. I think you know the people I mean.
Thank you for describing your back yard. Is it true or is it part of Zona's dream.
Zona - I don't know what I was thinking when I chose a cashmere coat for your Christmas present. Next year maybe you and Mr. Z should visit here. You can wear it when we go out on New Year's Eve. That would be a blast.
Dianne - I would love to see that picture of Michael and the birds too.
I would be volunteering too if I wasn't so house bound. I felt I was doing that for 8 years when my mom was in the Rest Home. I would take my two "fur babies" all nicely groomed and we would visit many of the ladies at Glenwarren. Some of them would just light up when they saw the dogs coming in. One lady who never spoke, always said "Oh Teddy" over and over again. I would always get sad to leave her. She must have had a small white dog at one time.
I would take Mom on the rounds and she loved hearing the dogs being praised.
I told Tango and Tia that they were working dogs and they wanted to get paid. I told them you don't get paid for volunteer work.
I was asked me if I would keep coming there after Mom passed but there is no way I ever want to see that place again. I went back once for her things and that was hard enough.
JUST LIN...Fun blog...if ya like being attacked by wildlife!!! They made me chuckle!
TINA...QOTD submission... TINKA said:
Michael - Your poem is brilliant. Did you actually write it? Are you on LSD this morning or are you always this creative?
LOL!
I am feeling a bit better. I am able to sit and maybe lay down. I am going to try and go to sleep early since I got so little last night.
Ohhhhh...in my paws I hold...
Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father...Cary Grant!!
I shall probably read it as I lay in bed. You probably won't see me again tonight!!
MICHAEL...The pigeons in the Piazza San Marco were DISGUSTING! I couldn't believe people ENCOURAGED those flying rats to land on their heads and arms! Wherever we sat down to nosh, my friend would throw food for the pigeons and we would be surrounded...like an Alfred Hitchcock movie! GROSSSSSSS!
Maureen - My back gave a little twinge a few minute ago and I started to wonder how you were doing. I am happy that it isn't any worse. I was afraid it might be. Backs have a way of getting worse before it gets better. Thankfully that didn't happen to you.
MO: I am glad you are feeling somewhat better. Were you able to go to work today? Take it easy tonight and enjoy your book and DWTS.
TINK: Did you fix dinner or did Jack? I stopped and picked up some pasta takeout for us tonight.
I went on my interview for the nursing home and I am going to be calling Bingo games once a month and visit with a resident or two the other Mondays of the month. It should be fun.
Dianne - Jack makes all the meals. I clean up. I do most of the baking except he loves to make muffins. He makes them so fast and about every second day. They make a good snackat coffee time at the farm or home.
Hi and goodnight~ I'm off to Seattle for a couple of days....the blogs are set thru Monday~ Have fun....and someone moan for me tomorrow morning, mkay?~ (tinka)
Hi Bear, Thanks for answering. I was just confused this morning. I saw two deleted posts, then you said "every time I see another one of these I get angry all over again." I wasn't sure what the pronoun 'these' referred to. Then you mentioned a hyperlink but I didn't see one. I thought I had missed something but I didn't know what. I must be confusing you now. Can you clarify this for me?
Bear - Read it and it makes me angry too, especially with references to "radical activists". I wish the Catholic church would "get with the programme." I guess it is hard to fight ignorance.

J/L~ those were funny~ thanks for sending it~
Tinka~ you made me laugh so hard with ur QOTD~ :D

Tina: So beautiful! Good morning!
J/L: Those are hilarious!! LOL..love it...
Good morning J/L and Di! :) Happy Tuesday.
J/L: Very funny pictures/blog. I loved the one of the monkeys all over the car and in the luggage!!
I work up toooooo early and thought for sure I would get first but obviously not early enough. Good Morning, TINA. Are you wide awake today and didn't oversleep? I think I would oversleep every day with your hours....did I ever tell you that I am not a morning person?
Morning BEBBI; How was your walk for TINK last night? Would you mind walking for me today? Thanks
MICHAEL: I wrote to you in Area 51.
Di: It was great, she got over 300 calories burned..I posted a pic of the workout..over 3 miles. I walked 2.5 this morning at 5 a.m., but the next one's for you Di. :)
Seems like whenever I wake up early the blog is slow in waking for the day.
oh....we're all here....we just don't want to talk to you~ :)~
Guten Morgan whorgens!!
cute J/L...love the roo boxing the touristas head!! lol
Those cassowarys are very dangerous if you come near their young....
I enjoy my nature in my own yard and on the Discovery Channel and I do enjoy Jack Hannas visits to the David Letterman show....
I also enjoy using the bathroom outside and an occasional shower with the water hose....
rude bear to hit and run and delete like that~
Wow, Owls! As we witness the struggle for basic human rights and human dignity playing out across state after state this year (and just wait until next year!), every time I see another one of these I get angry all over again. And they just keep on coming.
Tina: I know! I hadn't hyperlinked in a while, so wasn't getting it right.
But practice made perfect! What do you think of the editorial?
Good Morning Tina, Dianne, Bebbi, Michael and Whabbear. You all look so beautiful today.
Tina - Thanks for thinking my QODT was funny but do owls know I was quoting your "Jesus, Mary, Joseph" from your comment? Your post should have been there too.
Did you get my e-mail?
Dianne - I use to be a morning person but boy I sure am not now. Could it be because I am now 40 and you are getting close to that?
Bebbi -Thanks for walking for me. I think I feel a little more fit and I know I am slimmer now.
Michael- I am not feeling very bright today but what are "cassowarys"?
Do you have lots of wild life in your backyard?
whabbear - I repeat "I am not quite 'with it' today but please explain your comment. I feel I have missed something.
I didn't sleep well last night. I was watching our election results late into the night and then I couldn't settle down. I am such a creature of habit and so are my "fur babies". I guess I am too old to change that.
Just _Lin - I loved the pictures. It made me feel better about not being able to get out of the house much. I am getting a scooter this month but if I have my doggies on leashes then I think I will have Jack along just in case.
My cleaning lady is working hard upstairs. She comes Tuesdays now. She has so much energy. Ah to be young again.
Off to check my farms. Have a safe and happy day all owls every where.
Tinka...

The dentist thing is not so bad no that the guy I am seeing is for the gum restoration work and he is dreamy....
I have a little song about him...however this IS NOT a "song o the day" selection....
DOCTOR LONG JOHN
"Doctor Long John. My dreams are full of Doctor Long John."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John
and he answers every call.
You know, I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing."
He said, "Don't worry, baby.
It's just your cavity needs a little filling."
He took out his trusty drill.
Told me to open wide.
He said he wouldn't hurt me,
but he filled my whole inside.
Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away. No.
'Cause you thrill me when you drill me,
and I don't need no novocain today.
Oh, when he got done drilin' he said,
"Now, Mr. Michael, that is going to cost you ten."
"I was prepared to pay twenty"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said,
"Baby, that's gonna cost you ten.
But if it ever starts in to throbbing,
come back and see old Long John
again and again and again and again and again.
Oh, yeah. Yow!
"Long John.
I sold my heart to Doctor Long John and I will never, never be the same.
Oh, that's so heavy I just gotta lay back."
Good Moaning tina~ and all the rest of the Hooters too!
Love the pic of the monkey with the stick. :)
There you again Bear, being a radical homosexual...
( now if that is not the 'radical' calling the kettle black)

Just Lin I think I'll stay right where I am thank you!
Thank you Michael for your explanation of "cassowarys". I guess I am so young I have never heard of them.
Loved your dream about Kathy. How did it end?
Thank you Tina for clearing my reputation. I usually only say those words when I am praying. Of course you already knew that.
Michael - Your poem is brilliant. Did you actually write it? Are you on LSD this morning or are you always this creative?
Good Morning Shirley and Goldie. My phone is ringing so I will be back later. Have a great day.
Bear - Did you go back in your den? You disappeared.

Yes...lots of wildlife! Raccoons..rabbits..opossums...owls...hawks...skunks...snakes...birds birds birds...tarantulas....once I thought we had a lost Amazonian tribe and chimps but it just turned out to be the neighbors foraging for food in the woods...

It eludes me too.

Up from my nap and feeling a little foggy.
Michael - That was an outstanding essay you wrote about love in all its forms. I couldn't begin to comment on it. I just don't have the words that you do. All I can say is "Kudos". You should send that letter to a few people. I think you know the people I mean.
Thank you for describing your back yard. Is it true or is it part of Zona's dream.
Love your bird story when you were in Rome.
Zona - I don't know what I was thinking when I chose a cashmere coat for your Christmas present. Next year maybe you and Mr. Z should visit here. You can wear it when we go out on New Year's Eve. That would be a blast.
Bear - When you emerge from your den of work please explain your morning comment to me.
Dianne - I would love to see that picture of Michael and the birds too.
I would be volunteering too if I wasn't so house bound. I felt I was doing that for 8 years when my mom was in the Rest Home. I would take my two "fur babies" all nicely groomed and we would visit many of the ladies at Glenwarren. Some of them would just light up when they saw the dogs coming in. One lady who never spoke, always said "Oh Teddy" over and over again. I would always get sad to leave her. She must have had a small white dog at one time.
I would take Mom on the rounds and she loved hearing the dogs being praised.
I told Tango and Tia that they were working dogs and they wanted to get paid. I told them you don't get paid for volunteer work.
I was asked me if I would keep coming there after Mom passed but there is no way I ever want to see that place again. I went back once for her things and that was hard enough.
My farms are calling me. A farmer's life never stops. Bye 'til later.
Good evening feathered friends!
JUST LIN...Fun blog...if ya like being attacked by wildlife!!! They made me chuckle!

I am feeling a bit better. I am able to sit and maybe lay down.
I am going to try and go to sleep early since I got so little last night.
Ohhhhh...in my paws I hold...
Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father...Cary Grant!!
I shall probably read it as I lay in bed. You probably won't see me again tonight!!
MICHAEL...The pigeons in the Piazza San Marco were DISGUSTING! I couldn't believe people ENCOURAGED those flying rats to land on their heads and arms! Wherever we sat down to nosh, my friend would throw food for the pigeons and we would be surrounded...like an Alfred Hitchcock movie! GROSSSSSSS!
Maureen - My back gave a little twinge a few minute ago and I started to wonder how you were doing. I am happy that it isn't any
worse. I was afraid it might be. Backs have a way of getting worse before it gets better. Thankfully that didn't happen to you.

MO: I am glad you are feeling somewhat better. Were you able to go to work today? Take it easy tonight and enjoy your book and DWTS.
TINK: Did you fix dinner or did Jack? I stopped and picked up some pasta takeout for us tonight.
I went on my interview for the nursing home and I am going to be calling Bingo games once a month and visit with a resident or two the other Mondays of the month. It should be fun.
I think my favorite is the alligator. They were awfully darn funny!
Hi ITEACH...won't be long until school is out. I can imagine you are looking forward and counting the days.
Dianne, I so love Bingo! Good for you. I so miss playing that game with my grandma.
Yes, I am little excited about summer coming, I really like being a full time mom.
Di~ I'm cooking~
Tina and Di I'm going over to my friend's and her husband is cooking. : )
J/L~ My hubby refuses to cook~ Says he's done~ ugh~ I like to eat~ :(
I forgot that I sent that in as a blog. I laughed all over again.
Goldie The monkey with the stick is my fav, too. I bet he smacked that man right after the pic was taken. LOL
Michael Got Coke?
MO I'm glad your back is getting better and that you have your long-awaited book in hand.
Waving at all of you. BBL

Tina - Congrats on getting 69.
Dianne - Jack makes all the meals. I clean up. I do most of the baking except he loves to make muffins. He makes them so fast and about every second day. They make a good snackat coffee time at the farm or home.
Iteach - Like you, I loved teaching but I would have loved even more to be a full time mom. Now I get to be a full time nana. It's great.
Jack will be home shortly so I must go and look pretty for him. The doggies don't notice how I look.
Tinka: I've emerged... again! But not sure what you wanted clarification on... the hyperlink?
Hi and goodnight~ I'm off to Seattle for a couple of days....the blogs are set thru Monday~ Have fun....and someone moan for me tomorrow morning, mkay?~ (tinka)
Hi Bear, Thanks for answering. I was just confused this morning. I saw two deleted posts, then you said "every time I see another one of these I get angry all over again." I wasn't sure what the pronoun 'these' referred to. Then you mentioned a hyperlink but I didn't see one. I thought I had missed something but I didn't know what. I must be confusing you now. Can you clarify this for me?

Tina - You haven't taught me yet so someone else will have to moan. Have fun in Seattle.
Tinka~ have Jack show you~ :D
LOL@Tina!
Tink: Oh, OK, I understand now! Click on the word "these" in my post. It's a hyperlink to another article, and it's the article that makes me angry.
Thanks Bear. I will.
Tina - You are being very naughty tonight.

Bear - Read it and it makes me angry too, especially with references to "radical activists". I wish the Catholic church would "get with the programme." I guess it is hard to fight ignorance.
Bear~ ;)
Tinka~ :D
Tina Have a safe trip!
