Fjord Moose: The Non-Sequitur Thread

I had a crew start to put a roof on an old house today. Halfway through a holding wall crashd, sending the whole of the already shabby tworoom house in a lopsided creativily artistic mess. It had been apprved but some old things cannot be fixed.

Well, Harold Camping's latest new deadline for the end of the world has come and gone, and we're all still here. The article I read said that he couldn't be reached for comment. Maybe he got raptured all alone?

Duct tape creates silence (properly applied).

Modern alchemy.

I'm being followed by a moon shadow, but not by a related statement.

There's a moon out tonight!

I'm having raw fish for dinner, and it's delicious!


Ooooo, deja vu!

We're expecting 4"-6" of SNOW Saturday night on coastal CT; 6"-10" inland. Snow. In October. And high winds and temps around 32F (0C), so if you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because we've had another long-term power outage. And if you never hear from me again, it'll be because I froze to death.

For the record, "normal" October weather usually means days in the low to mid 60s and nights in the upper 40s to low 50s. No snow. This is just insane.

So...I just found out a friend committed suicide and I want to talk about it, but I don't want to talk about it...mainly because I don't know if it's public yet. It seems like no one knows.

I'd rather not be the one to bring it up...especially if the family doesn't want to make it public that it was suicide...I don't want to be the one who exposes it.

I'm kind of sad (especially b/c I just dreamt about him Sunday night...I dreamt that I was looking for him and I couldn't find him and was asking everyone where he was...even though I hadn't seen him in a few years). I woke up thinking I should contact him soon. I didn't know he was already gone.

But I think I'm still in shock because I'm not crying. And maybe I'm just being understanding because I'm thinking, "With that much stress, maybe he just needed the relief?"

I don't know...but I have 70,000 things to do and I can't get one of them done if I don't get this out...and I'm doing so.

[Ignore this sequitur-- pretend it's under a different thread]

Thanks for the kind words, Zelda. I'm sadder than I realized.

We'd been friends since 8th grade, but we actually started off as enemies. Pretty funny story I always liked telling.

He will definitely be missed.

I like this thread, but I didn't post in this thread that much.

It's incredible. Christmas is over, and tomorrow's is New Year's Eve. Time flies away sooo bloody fast.

So...just found out I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder...11 years ago! When was the doctor going to tell me?!

And apparently, I shouldn't have taken a few of the anti-depressants or any anxiety meds b/c it triggered (and it did) some stupid shameful stuff!

*sigh*

Meh, at least I know now.

I'm having popcorn for dinner tonight. Breaking my new air-pop popcorn maker's duck. Then I'm having some rum and Pepsi.

Ooops! I guess that's a sequitur. And that's another one! Ooops!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The last day of the year arrived.

It is New Years' Have a cocktail with old scrappings, new cravings, new friends and some brand new shoes.
Happy New Year groupies! (Ha, Edward, groupies do not write storys, poems, haikus, drawings, books of publish). We are not groupies. juta fortunate group of mentored Old sod! :)

Watching MPFC. Hilarious.

2012.

Pretty sad. My grandpa just passed away.

And finally, there was the person who posted different puns to her blog, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make people laugh. No pun in ten did.

Ironic?

Ironickers?

Iron Knickers?

Iron Lady!! New name for Mrs Thing!!

So when I got to work this am, the computers decided it was 12:48am Feb. 25, 2028. Since I don't have movies programed in for more than a week or 2 in advance, I could sell popcorn and soda but no tickets. Took a little time but finally got that straightened out. (This happened once before and we owed our cleaner about 3 mill for 17 years on the clock.)

Paute, I'm really sorry!

Energy = mass times the speed of light squared - what a guy! There will never again be a brain like that...
