Ramblings of Silver Blue

You know, I was just looking at a program for a wedding that happened back in June of 2001. I really feel like life has cheated me because I’ll never have the joy (and jitters) of experiencing that. No flower arrangements. No cake. No soloist that makes me look at my partner with everlasting love [...]

You know, there are times when you just want to do things for your patrons readers. Take Susie, for example. I haven’t a clue what the hell a “penumbra” is, or why they’re “practical”, but I do my best to treat her like a lady and see that her “wishes” are accomodated to. Well, as [...]

….runs out of rant. That’s basically what has happened to me today. I’m rantless. Not that I don’t have things that irritate me or have set me off. God knows, there’s still plenty of thse. But … for at least the mantime, I’ve got nothing really yanking my chain today. I guess I should count [...]

Need something to laugh about? Go Here! Get to know Hoops & YoYo.

This is just TOO good not to share. (Take it in the spirit it is intended.)

Ever have a craving for a really good, thick, rich, meaty pasta sauce? Tink and I did this evening. So, two bottles of roasted onion & garlic pasta sauce, 4 pounds of ground beef, and a bag of cheese ravioli later, we’ve got dinner for later frozen, dinner for tonight digesting, and both of us [...]

Kung Chow called his boss and said: “Hey, boss I no come work today, I real sick. I got headache, stomach ache, leg hurt, I no come work.” The boss says: “Kung Chow I really need you today. When I feel sick like this, I go to my wife and tell her to give me [...]

Blogeline discusses free give-aways. (Normally I have a coffee with my Danish, but since this a company from Denmark and not a sugar coated treat, I’ll pass.) When Cats Attack! does a round-up of their own. DramaQueen has returned from her holiday. Horray! Horray! KiwiFruit goes to see an awesome musical. Who wouldn’t love ABBA?

Need to just DROP DEAD. Besides, most of the time they can’t see themselves in the situation. I guess any sort of fanatical person, fan of a performer, etc., can be a real asshat. If you wish to know more, read on.

Ozguru talks about his conversion from MT to WP. I owe him a great debt of thanks, because now I have two nifty new scripts (plug-ins, hacks) running. Jennifer takes on the titsling. No, I mean a brassiere. Rob of L&R talks Smack(down). notGeorge gives us an awesome quiz.

To the permanent blogroll. ScriptyGoddess is a wealth of information, and I’m now addicted to her blog.

Revog has issues with something akin to Groundhog Day. Ever have STRESS? Tink’s Eye-Doctor has a eye problem. Seems he can’t see himself making a move. His loss, honestly! Roxette Bunny™ has some new stuff at her store…and interesting things to over hear in the carrot patch!

say they’re going to call (or email you back) and don’t, I think you should be able to WHAP them with a wet towel. All you have to do is say “I’m looking into it” or “Sorry, I can’t accomodate that” or SOMETHING. You know who you are. You follow me around the ‘Net, and [...]

Thanks to Liikeman for passing this oldie but goodie on! 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in [...]

How do you know if you, a loved one, or someone who reports to you is suffering from burnout? Here are the early-warning signs. 1. chronic fatigue – exhaustion, tiredness, a sense of being physically run down 2. anger at those making demands 3. self-criticism for putting up with the demands 4. cynicism, negativity, and [...]

Ok, with all the moving from MT to WP, I haven’t had a chance to properly dole out necessary Link-Luv™. I’ll try to round up, in sets of four, today everyone I should have given da luv to. Rocket Jones got me going with this one. Who’d have thunk it? That bumper sticker is almost [...]

Several of the clients here at CHK forwarded me this email from a student in their class. Don’t know what he was smoking at the time he wrote it, however. To all of my professors: My name is **** ******, and I’m writing all of my professors. I’m writing to tell all of you that [...]

…the bane of our existence. This has been credited to Andy Rooney, and I looked over at Snopes.com (found nothing) — but even if it’s not real, it’s funny as heck. (1) The three little words are: “Hold On, Please…” Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would [...]

Where does it come from? What does it entail? Michelle has some answers (even though I’ve never watched “Joan of Arcadia”)

Cosmo says: Nite!

…I’ll be the sunshine in your life* Outside, Mother Nature is putting on a light show for Roxette Bunny™ — you know what I mean. Thunder is beginning to roll in the distance, and, while it’s currently 80 degrees outside, that can drop to the 60s in a heartbeat. While Miss Bunny is looking forward [...]

There was a “Husband Shopping Center”, where women could go to choose from among many men, for their husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a [...]

for me to just become a druggie. I have received 43 spam emails today trying to sell me Vicodin, V1cad1n, and every other possible spelling of it. Do I appear to be a junkie? Am I in that much pain? Actually, I’m not in so much pain that a good bottole of merlot couldn’t help.

Why don’t you just go away? John Ashcroft, barking moonbat of the Axis of Evil Bush Cabinet needs to keep his trap shut. The courts have ruled against him with this edict against Oregon’s Assisted Suicide Law. The people have spoken. The courts have spoken. Now, f*ck off. I can see your ass going to [...]

CNN reports: Doctors in Kentucky have begun preparing a document to be submitted to an ethics panel at the University of Louisville School of Medicine seeking permission to perform a face transplant, the lead researcher in the endeavor told CNN. “We are in the process of doing that,” Dr. John Barker, director of plastic surgery [...]
