just ignore and let this one die

LOL, I wondered, too. I kept looking, and looking...

For you...

Yeah - chocolate. Now that is more like it. I'm also not much of a waffle person, but they do make nice plates for the other goodies.

After staring at it for a while, I finally figured that my not-yet-awake brain had read 3199 as 3999.

That will teach me to do any type of math before 3 or 4 cups of coffee.

Oh that...no, I don't usually crosspost my 'stuff I was wearing to schlep around SL today' pics. The ones that end up on both forums generally had purpose and planning behind them. Or just amused me, like the nomming of the canary.


D'awwww.

LOL...I'll find you a good chicken fried steak in Dallas, come on up there. I'm not driving four hours to break my diet

Well, truth be told, I got heavyish a few years ago and that was unacceptable. I had lapband surgery 2 years ago before my weight got more out of control, which worked exactly as it was supposed to...I'm within 20 lbs of my goal - but left me with certain foods I can't eat. Anything fried in flour is one (many) of them.

Makes perfect sense. I suppose we will wait with baited breath until inspiration brings forth another masterpiece creation.

And you have NO idea how comforting it was seeing that canary. I mean...sorry buddy...but if someone had to go better you than some innocent cute little floppy-eared feller.

When Trevor Hoffman walks from the bullpen to the mound and "Hells Bells" blasts every soul in the stadium... well it's really cool. Especially back in the days when he never failed to get the save.



Actually it made me realize how un-ready we are. Five years ago when I began to see the current financial crisis coming and the value of our house was peaking I kept thinking we should sell and move to a place in the country with lots of land sitting on a big aquafer. It's still a good idea because in the Southwest we will all be on short water rations before I die of old age.

I understand.

Yes, I'm the same way. There or here with little overlap. And I've somewhat fallen off the practice of posting pictures. Occasionally will post in a non picture thread, though. Like today in the steampunk thread.

If you care to divulge you RL astrology sign - what is your drinking style?

Mine:

VIRGO

Drinking style
Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure — but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked — but, oh, when they do! Virgo’s controlled by the intellect, but there’s an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It’s dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, “I’m going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight.” A toast to the subgenius IQ!

Trademark cocktails
Many Virgos prefer clear, simple, untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you’ll find ‘em drinking anything — from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. They also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. They rarely change their drink once they’ve found it, however.

Good point, we learned our lesson last time we tried that.

I just saw this picture and immediately thought of you

Hehe...cute Lil.

A coworker has this on her screensaver, too bad the ears are so small.

You should maybe find someone to photoshop some decent ears on that one - it is really cute.

Oh dear...

ARIES

Drinking style
Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don’t know when to call it a night. Their competitive streak makes them prone to closing-time shot contests. They’re sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you — so long as you haven’t gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini.

Trademark cocktails
Aries, born under the hot-stuff planet Mars, is the ruler of spicy food and red things — and for balance, astrologers recommend they eat tomatoes, onions, olives and greens. That’s right, Aries, you were born under the sign of the bloody Mary. Aries also rules grapefruit, and they’ve been known to kick back a salty dog and a sea breeze or two. For extreme hotcha, try a concoction with cinnamon liqueur in it.

PISCES

Drinking style
If you’re a Pisces, you’ve probably already heard that you share a sign — and an addictive personality — with Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they’re fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and wind up in bed together for days. The phrase “addictive personality” can be read two ways, you know.

Trademark Cocktails
Pisces rules fresh mint, and they do love a mojito or three — though a julep will do just as well. They also like punches, like sangria or the oh-so-aptly named fish house punch. (Pretty much anything will satisfy a Pisces in a pinch, though — “drinking like a fish” is an idiom pulled out of the zodiac, not the deep blue sea.) Pisces is a chocoholic and loves creme de cacao (and spiked cocoa).

Drinking buddies
Drew Barrymore, Chastity Bono, Chelsea Clinton, Kurt Cobain, Edward Gorey, Queen Latifah, Liza Minelli, Anais Nin, Sharon Stone, Liz Taylor

LOL - I could sort of see that in you.

Hey, neat! I ate one of those just the other day!

And that is the Claire we all know so well





/me makes a note to find a Pisces man.

Lookie! I found a toy jerboa!

*makes note to go drinking with Mo.

CAPRICORN

Drinking style
Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty — no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who are you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they’re either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the afterparty, especially if they can hook up with a cute groupie.

Trademark cocktails
Old-fashioned Cap would probably like an old-fashioned just fine — or a dry martini, or a gin and tonic, or a gimlet — or any other no-nonsense quaff. They prefer drinks that taste like alcohol and generally hate drinks with more than three ingredients. However, they like the flavor of cranberry and will order a cosmo if they can handle the wait for it to get mixed.

Drinking buddies
Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, James Dean, Marlene Dietrich, Martin Luther King Jr., Jude Law, Annie Lennox, Marilyn Manson, Richard Nixon, Elvis Presley
