  1. Forgive me if I sound a bit dain bramaged, but I have just spent a 7am to almost 5pm shift as Home Child Day Care Provider. I watched Mr. Rogers, played with Lincoln Logs, got six kids in shifts on two different buses, made lunches, also played Operation, BabySitter's Club, and watched part of a Kim Possible marathon, visited my daughter and two grandchildren, explained that the thing on the wall was a real horse shoe, which led to a discussion on how and why horses wore shoes AND why it is hung like the letter "U" (so the luck does not drain out), made more snacks, discussed why super heroes and villains wear costumes, tried to explain why people could not figure out that Clark Kent was not Superman just by taking off his glasses and putting on tights, and made sure everyone was happy when the parents picked them up. Mrs. Rock just called to ask if everything went OK today. I told her "No problem, I buried the bodies in the back yard." Next time you pick up your kid at the "baby sitter's" after work, think about what a B word the job is and thank them. I could never do this job for more than a day at a time, once or twice a year, without really killing someone. It is now TIME for some WINE! (Australian Merlot)
  2. I always thought it was to let others know that the guy with paint splattered all over his clothes was a painter - not just some uncleanly slob.
  3. I was thinking of showing up with two young'uns in tow, but I KNOW their suburbanite parents have forgotten (or perhaps never experienced) a Plate. I was not prepared to deal with that... too bad the kids are old enough to talk.
  4. ooooooooooooooh... Have Another Hit! (Fresh Air)
  5. I'll bring my VISA, Diane!
  6. The Old Man was in a category of his own.
  7. No Shows: 1. Rockpile Pebbles and Mrs Rock just left to catch a bus to Tom's River, NJ and a weekend cheerleading competition. I am stuck tending the Daycare today. It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood....
  8. Please, this is a family chat room.
  9. Great Photo! Sports Illustrated Link - 2 minute QBs If you can find a copy, get Snake/the Candid Autobiography of Football's Most Outrageous Renegade. It is a great read (for those who can still read a book).
  10. He is staying out all night and is still drunk in the huddle? Actually, I really liked the Snake.
  11. The TBD ladies are delightful. You cannot BUY them!
  12. To keep it VERY simple, the order of the story is I through VI, but I & II kinda sorta really suck. I think folks were cautioning you that you might watch I & II and say !@#$ this.
  13. One of the best shows I ever attended was in Central Park in the 70's: Doc Watson David Bromberg Earl Scruggs Review Traditional country, blues/bluegrass fusion. and country rock. I still love Emmie Lou Harris - her hair is gray but she is a babe! Catch her version of "Evangeline" with the Band on The Last Waltz.
  14. You are just jealous.
  15. I am a lousy rhythm guitarist - going on 30+ years now. In the early 70s I used to hitchhike around with a backpack and guitar case. Just the other night I played through Lucky Man, Angel Band, Superman's Song, Daniel and the Sacred Harp, and Nobody Wins. I sucked, but that is what I do! Sorry, no coom-bye-ya!
  16. To add my $0.0.2 to a few earlier threads: Felix Pappalardi - Theme For an Imaginary Western (Mountain, Climbing) Jorma Kaukonnen - The Water Song (Hot Tuna, Burgers?) New additions (both solo artists): Joe Bonamassa - New Day Yesterday Leo Kottke - Louise No one likes Carlos?
  17. Someone should start an official "Cut Roscoe" thread.
  18. Bobblehead is the T.O. of the WNYTBDGPS - now he wants gas money or he is a no show.
  19. Bills are 3-0 at home when I have a Garbage Plate. I believe that has no significance at all, but I will do my best to be there. I think I have only missed two since we started.
  20. Just signed in. I'll check back, but WAY too many graphics dancing around... very distracting.
  21. Go sit in the Gross section and shaddup!
  22. if Loss-man keeps winning, he'll have to change his name! I like it, I love it....................
  23. That section has always been a rowdy place to sit. The name has a nice ring to it though.
  24. You must be getting old.
