Smartie's Bar & Grill #61

I beg your Morning.In MY neck of the woods { Paris,Ky. } 3 PM is no
Morning.Not even a Morning Glory would pull that hat trick.

 

Glad to see you haven't been Postin' from the Office { I lie }
It's like sayin'... - No Flirting at Work - . When the workplace is loaded
with secretaries Hired for their Figure,first & foremost.

 

Well, my Monday work day is over! It was a slow day at work for me today too, lots of breaks!

 

I just gotta say.I almost feel stunned.I'm channel surfing and I stumble
on to a TCM Movie from My era { the 60's } :
- Two on a Guillotine - { 1965 } starring the ever likeable duo of
Connie Stevens and Dean Jones. Both very pleasant albeit clean-cut
to the core.I couldn't help myself from thinking almost instinctively ...
Whatever happened to Dean Jones ? Or Connie Stevens ? .
I know the cinematic necessity to prey on the raw emotions of
a public,more intent on Femme Fatal,Vixens,and Babes.
But what about Good Guys. Everyman types.Like a Jimmy Stewart
OR a Dean Jones. I realize Jones is a goody-goody Christian type.
But isn't there a place for that even more today.Spencer Tracy was
Catholic,but you wouldn't know it if not for - Boys Town - { 1938 }.
Go Figger ? . No ... Let ME do the Figuring.It's What I do.
Because some fellar has to keep after them Figures.
BTW ... Thankfully by the grace of God Both Stevens and Jones are
with us.
Connie Stevens born { Concetta Rosalie Anna Ingolia } from of
all places ... Brooklyn,N.Y.
Go Figger.

 

Glad to see everybody made it thru the worst part... it's downhill to Friday from here!

Garden suffered a big set back...as did a lot of gardens and farms here. I love rain and will not complain when it rains but the rains were generous and the garden didn't like it. We are trying to salvage what survived and we might get something.. Some of the potatoes rotted, they didn't like the wet ground.
Coffee first thing is mandatory.

 

I have other things that need to be taken care of before I post on PF.. 2PM was the time I took a break to read the forum.. I am usually up by 5AM...and working after I have my coffee. So calm down,, FYI I spent some time pulling up morning glories today..They are a nusiance..

 

Sorry to hear about the garden, daise. Hope it makes a full recovery.

 

Oh Boy oh Boy oh Boy.
Chubby and Farina and Pete. Where blacks and whites were treated as Equal.
No wonder Hal Roach lived to a nice old age { 100 }.
God rewards certain comics.Like George Burns and Bop Hope.

 

I broke down and bought a couple nice plants at Wal*mart today.
I hope this isn't contagious.But I fear it is.
I guess there are worse habits.Like going to work and hearing that infernal
Iron whistle to announce Lunch and end of work.

 

Oh, that stinks. We have a big problem around here with squirrels that destroy everything. They will chew on the flowers and destroy them, eat any kind of vegetable or fruit you try to grow. Although I find them funny to watch sometimes, they can be a HUGE nuisance.

 

Another strong dark roast for me tomorrow morning. Have a big presentation to a large crowd in Charlotte. Need to be at the top of my game.

Thanks Smartie!!

 

Good luck, Brian! Knock 'em dead!

 

I agree they are cute till they do dollars worth of damage. We have them but they only eat the pecans and acorns. Our two cats and dogs police the squirrel population, they love to chase them.

 

Heck they didn't have cocolar..that is only said in the south..lol.

 

I like squirrels in the yard,a yard shouldn't be without them but they are
little HoGs.They aggressively go after bird suet.Even when I put out the
lid of a peanut jar with a nice helping of peanut butter they are hOgS.
They also like to run on roofs and act like they own stuff.

 

Good morning, barflies. Happy Cinco de Mayo. Chips and picante in the break room after everyone's had their fill of coffee.

Extra strong for BB... break a leg, sweetie!

 

Squirrels are feisty indeed.But they are tougher than the East Ender homeless
that Jack London wrote about in - People of the Abyss -.
Reading just a single chapter of that is what those Baltimore Protestors need
a good dose of.That and Salts.The better to make # 2.They so full of it.
And themselves.

 

Oh Not again.We just had that { went thru that about a year ago }.
This ain't like the Super Bowl is it.?
Do I need to break out my little sack of Mexican jumping beans and
some leftover Spanish fly.

 

How many Cinco de Mayo ' s does this make for us, Foolie? When did we meet... 1999? 2000?

Been awhile now. You've lasted longer than some of my ex husbands. LOL

 

I don't even give a hoot about baseball.Why would I give a hoot about
some Cinco Mayo. Don't get me wrong.I like Mayo.

 

I live next to the woods, and we have WAY too many squirrels. You can have some of them if you like. Just don't try to grow anything. They will devour and destroy ALL of your plants, vegetables, flowers, and fruits. They are insatiable little critters.

 

I put out sunflower seeds for the birds, but of course, most is eaten by the squirrels. When they run out of seeds, they hit the suet baskets and squirrels would get on the top, hang down and eat and eat and eat. I fixed them... bought an extra large aluminum loaf pan, split it to fit around the chain and duct taped it back together. Now the squirrels can't get traction on the top, so they finally stopped trying. Downside is, the birds are a little scared of the shiny new top, but at least the seed will still be there when they get brave enough to try it again!

 

Thanks! It went well. Gotta cue it up again tomorrow, for another group.

 

Good morning, good people. Happy Humpday!
