Won't load for me, but from the link I'll be the FIRST to guess some burglar dudes left the toilet seat up.

and sprayed all of the bottom of the seat and tank.

It's taking forever to load (heh!)

Actually, it works, but horribly slowly.

Toilet seat big clue to burglar's gender
Thursday, March 27, 2008
A female burglary victim deduced that a man must have broken into her North Charleston apartment because the toilet seat was left up.
The St. Johns Avenue resident was out of town for Easter and discovered the break-in when she returned Tuesday night and found the front door ajar, police said. A DVD and VCR were missing, according to a report. The burglar apparently left behind an empty 24-ounce soda bottle, police said.

Thanks, Siouxie. You're a big help. Really.

Thanks Siou
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | 03:07 PM on March 27, 2008
Thanks, but ham is bad for my cankles. Makes them sticky.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 03:08 PM on March 27, 2008
Annie, I can use my machete to take a little off the sides.
Welcome, MKJ!
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:10 PM on March 27, 2008
I think SHE must have left it u . . .
uh, never mind . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | 03:14 PM on March 27, 2008
He stole a DVD? Was it blank?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | 03:16 PM on March 27, 2008
Siouxe, good thing you didn't include the potatoes and vegetables with the ham.
Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | 03:20 PM on March 27, 2008
LOL BJJB!
I've got my own sharp instrument...I'm good ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:23 PM on March 27, 2008
BJJB - Hammie kept hiding his potatoes so we couldn't get a clear shot at them.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 03:24 PM on March 27, 2008
But I think we got him now.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 03:43 PM on March 27, 2008
LOL Annie

Note to lady cat burglers, leave the toilet seat up, they'll never suspect you.

Got it, Mot!!
Posted by: Diva | 04:54 PM on March 27, 2008
I would never burgle a cat. I'm allergic.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 05:06 PM on March 27, 2008
well, you'd just have to take a shower after.
Posted by: judi | 05:28 PM on March 27, 2008
In their shower? Ew. Plus I just took one last month. And I'd be accused of soap theft, a felony.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 05:40 PM on March 27, 2008
Or in this case, a feline-y.

Thanks, Annie. I'll be seeing those eyeballs in my sleep.

and yay for stupid burglers (either that or some smart woman who felt like throwing cops off her trail) they sure are entertaining ^__^

ah, the joys of being three hours behind (or something kike that... i miss the convo by like an hour every time...*sighs melodramatically and goes back to her manga*
Posted by: TheEvilAuthoressKchan | 07:33 PM on March 27, 2008
I just don't understand the issue. A toilet seat is a binary device. Up. Down. If you want it up, open it. If you want it down, close it.
Why is it that those of us who can stand and aim must cater to thise who prefer to sit and if the seat is down, open it and then close it on completion in case the next user might want to sit rather than stand?
Note that peeing on the seat is never going to be approved by anyone.

Evening, peeps!! How are things hangin'?
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:24 PM on March 27, 2008
Same as usual Siouxie. How are you doing?
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:27 PM on March 27, 2008
still recovering from Legoland yesterday. Ugh. But I do have peeps. Yellow ones. Da best.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 08:29 PM on March 27, 2008
UGH, Annie! I hate those things. Btw, who won the water squirting war??
juggie, I'm good. Having my wine and trying to chill for a bit before LOST. Full day at tax central is catching up on me.
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:34 PM on March 27, 2008
I, too, am having a glass of wine. It is, so far, alleviating the stress of a day that if it was a fish it would have been thrown back in.
Annie, do you heat the peeps in the microwave?
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:37 PM on March 27, 2008
A loaf of bread, a jug, some wine, and thou.... ;) A good start on the evening!
Posted by: Diva | 08:41 PM on March 27, 2008
No, peeps in the microwave, I'm not that cruel. I bite their heads off the old fashioned way. Poor fishy day, jug!
Siouxie - working that water war into a blog post - hopefully done late tonight when the boys go to their dads and I can have a beer concentrate.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 08:42 PM on March 27, 2008
*cheers* jug!
Annie, send it to me when you're done!! I'd love to see!
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:45 PM on March 27, 2008
Evening Diva.
The subtle approach, huh Annie?

Evenin', jug! Sorry about your crummy day. Been there, one that, threw up on the T-shirt.
Posted by: Diva | 08:53 PM on March 27, 2008
Learn what Eleanor?
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:53 PM on March 27, 2008
Some things are best left out of my wicked imagination Siouxie.
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:55 PM on March 27, 2008
Thanks, Sioux, I think. Jug, I used to work for a guy who would sneak up behind animal crackers and bite their heads off. Yes, he was in marketing.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 08:55 PM on March 27, 2008
S'ok Diva, tomorrow will be better. I get to tell a bunch of doctors what to do tomorrow. That ought to be good for some laughs.
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:56 PM on March 27, 2008
Marketing guys think like that Annie. Its the sales guys that try to bite the heads off of 6 at once that you need to keep an eye on.
Posted by: jugheaded | 08:58 PM on March 27, 2008
To put the seat down when they're finished, jug. Seems like a simple thing...
Posted by: Eleanor | 08:58 PM on March 27, 2008
It is a simple thing. I, for one, don't understand why guys don't do it. Its even better just to close the lid too.
Posted by: jugheaded | 09:03 PM on March 27, 2008
*faints dead away at jug's near-perfection*
Posted by: Diva | 09:05 PM on March 27, 2008
Near perfection? Hardly. I suck at housekeeping. And laundry sometimes is a challenge (like when the gym sock come out pink-sheesh)
Posted by: jugheaded | 09:09 PM on March 27, 2008
jug, you need to keep your red thong away from the whites ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:11 PM on March 27, 2008
Just one? OK. That's funny.
Siouxie - did you know Lost was a rerun tonight. I'm bummed. :(
Posted by: Diva | 09:13 PM on March 27, 2008
tosses the errant 's' up.
Posted by: jugheaded | 09:14 PM on March 27, 2008
See jug, therein lies the problem. If I don't have the lid down then I don't want you to put the lid down when you use the toilet. My pal CG does that and I don't understand why he just can't put it back the way he found it! Why is that such a difficult concept?
Posted by: Eleanor | 09:14 PM on March 27, 2008
Oh, now that's an idea! Its pola dot and I always get confused on whether it goes with the whites or the rest of the stuff. Thanks Siouxie.

If you aren't careful Siouxie, I'll make you look at the pictures of me in it.
Posted by: jugheaded | 09:22 PM on March 27, 2008
Seat up, seat down, minor issue. I wasted hours, my hands, and weary muscles trying to pull-start a new generator on which somebody had put the sticker marking the Choke, upside down. I blame a female cat-burglar. Beer, puhleeze?
Posted by: CJrun | 09:26 PM on March 27, 2008
What's a 'pola dot'? Not sure if I want to know, if it concerns jug's undies. The thong's already too much for me to envision.
I believe El is trying to start a potty war. Seat down, lid down, nuff said. Bring it on, grrrlfriend!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 09:27 PM on March 27, 2008
LOL promises promises, jug.
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:28 PM on March 27, 2008
Pull-start choke - minor issue. One yank on that thing and you should know something's wrong. (yeah, there's a straight line for you, SW)
*slides a cold one to CJ*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 09:30 PM on March 27, 2008
But I will say, to conclude the toilet seat discussion, that I'd rather he put the lid down to, than leave the seat up. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | 09:31 PM on March 27, 2008
*slides a cold Heiny over to CJ*
You were supposed to be upside down too, silly!

Hands CJ a cold beer.

strategically placed, I'm sure, jug.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 09:35 PM on March 27, 2008
Uh-oh, I think CJ's writing a monologue/lecture for me on chokes. Sigh...I can almost hear him typing from here. Unless that's jug chafing on his pola dots.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 09:36 PM on March 27, 2008
Of course Annie. I just have to be careful with the dadgum polo mallet.
Posted by: jugheaded in pola dots | 09:38 PM on March 27, 2008
No chafing Annie. Give 'em a liberal dose of WD-40 and you don't have to worry about it.
I think CJ is typing upside down, to match the choke.
Posted by: cafeheaeded jug | 09:40 PM on March 27, 2008
Annie, he's got 3 beers...it may take a while.

Yay, jug!! I needed that snorkboost today. =^D Thanks!
Posted by: Diva | 09:55 PM on March 27, 2008
*snork*@Diva!
No it's a new one I got when mine got stolen; haven't had any hurricanes, so it was still in the box. We now have electricity, hot and cold water, and lamps, and Christmas lights, and, well the campsite will be upscale. There are two recliners at the curb in my neighborhood, but cg drew the line at recliners.
Posted by: CJrun | 10:09 PM on March 27, 2008
WOW. I got a snork from CJ. THAT is a rare honor!

I SOOOOO think you should have grabbed those recliners, CJ!

isn't it obvious? we leave the seat up just to piss you off
it's how we entertain ourselves
well, that and picturing you all naked

No recliners? That is criminal.
Posted by: jug | 10:12 PM on March 27, 2008
Hey, TC! How are ya? Nice to see you out here for a long overdue change. Been busy?
Posted by: Diva | 10:17 PM on March 27, 2008
*flaps in for a moment* *Waves @ everybody!*
Prop the lid up on the toilet, and you’ll die
Lord, you took my electronics, but you don’t wanna splash my thighs
Take my loot with a grin, you’ll be sad if I fall in
Prop the lid up on the toilet, and you’ll die
Just let good manners be your guiding light
Or you’ll burn in hell; you’ll feel those flames so bright
Fix that loo when you’re done, or I swear I’ll find you, son,
Put the lid down on the potty, or I’m gonna get my gun
Chorus
Don’t make the right selection, you won’t be doin’ time
You treat me with no respect, well, that’s a hangin’ crime
Chorus

way too busy to put the seat back down, if you must know

Let's hear it for JD!
TC, I always thought that was the real reason. Thanks for confirming. ;)

Evenin', All. Nice job, Ducky! Quick, Jug, slide me a beer, doll, I'm parched.

Posted by: jug | 10:41 PM on March 27, 2008
Hey, Diva! Brought you a little tiramisu. Even saved the chocolate bean for you.

The cats...not so much.

I'm an equal opportunity drinker, jug. I like beer AND wine, but not together. Whatever's closest will do.
Posted by: Just Ducky | 10:46 PM on March 27, 2008
cg has already put both of her feet down; no recliners. She explained that most of the folks just roll up in their vans, shove their stuff out and crawl back in to sleep. We were loading her stuff in the truck today and she said, "Huh. I need a truck." She didn't know that full size pick-ups have an 8-foot bed. Her usual huge load neatly tucked over on one side. All the rest is the stuff to amuse me, including the trailer full of toys. One of the bands isn't gonna be able to bring their Wash-tub Bass, she emails; I actually already have most of the tools and makings to build one there, loaded. I'm gonna have fun while she does...art stuff. I believe gjd and casey are coming as well, so there will be pics.

Slides Ducky a beer and another one to Bali (because 1 beer doesn't always cure 'parched')
CJ, sounds like you can make your own recliner once you get there
Posted by: jug | 10:50 PM on March 27, 2008
Thanks, bali! YUMMMMMM!!! It's one of my favorite desserts.
CJ, you're gonna have a blast. I'm so jealous! Well, you'll just have to be jealous when I'm at the Post Hunt with Jan and Andy and probably sthnbelle, too (and meeting the marvelous mudstuffin on the way). ;)

Ducky, all my stuff's blowing your way. Sorry. (DUCK!) Crazy wind...

I'll remind you later to take two Advil before bed then.
Posted by: jug | 11:01 PM on March 27, 2008
15-25 mph, Jug, which ain't much for you Chicago types, but it's flat here, so we get hit by flying cows alot.
And that's why there's a dent by the gas tank of my car. I did NOT drive off with the pump handle still engaged.
Posted by: baligurl | 11:04 PM on March 27, 2008
Oh that's not too bad. We had that earlier today, with snow mixed in. Its almost April, and there is snow on the ground.
Gotta watch those flying cows, Bali. They are hell on gas tanks
Posted by: jug | 11:07 PM on March 27, 2008
Ok, what was that movie with Helen Hunt about tornadoes? It had a flying cow in it.
Posted by: jug | 11:09 PM on March 27, 2008
The one with the nice Dodge truck? 'Twister.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:10 PM on March 27, 2008
You have snow. *stops kvetching about a little wind*
I always drink a glass of OJ before bed, it helps the liver do it's job. (A nutritionist pal told me.)Reckon the vodka in it's a wash?
Posted by: baligurl | 11:11 PM on March 27, 2008
Annie, way up there^, that Cav pic is great! Mine looks like the tricolor, and that's just how they look tearassing thru the house.
Posted by: baligurl | 11:16 PM on March 27, 2008
That's it! Thanks Annie. Now when Bali talks about flying cows I can get a proper mental image.
And yes Bali, the vodka in the OJ is to help 'guide' the Vitamin C to the liver.
Ok, I won't fuss about the wind any more. Heck, I am grateful to be going where its warm. All I have to do now is figure out how to smuggle a bottle of booze into the wedding and it will all be good.
I really don't think my new step mommy to be understands the medicinal qualities of alcohol.
Posted by: jug | 11:17 PM on March 27, 2008
Vodka hides nicely in a Dasani bottle. I hear.
Posted by: baligurl | 11:18 PM on March 27, 2008
Oh it does huh? Have you tried that? I forgot, you live in the part of the world where dancin and drinkin is not a contact sport.

Yes, Diva, my Cavi's named Malcolm, and he's quite brilliant.
Posted by: baligurl | 11:25 PM on March 27, 2008
jug, you're going to an alcohol free wedding? Are you staying in a hotel? If so, I'd have a couple of drinks in the room first. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | 11:26 PM on March 27, 2008
I'll let you know how that works. Thanks for the tip.
Posted by: jug | 11:27 PM on March 27, 2008
LOL, bali - on the fifth.
My friend's is Fiona. She's a very smart little dog. She figured out on her own how to sneak money from BFF's dad's room and bring it to BFF.
Posted by: Diva | 11:27 PM on March 27, 2008
I am going to my father's wedding Eleanor. The Future Step Mom does not drink, and in fact got my father to swear off alcohol. I am staying with my sister, so I reckon we will have a couple of courage builders before the wedding, even though that means drinking at 10 am.
He's 79; its an early wedding. I suspect he is afraid of sleeping through his wedding night
Bali, you still coming down?
Posted by: jug | 11:31 PM on March 27, 2008
She got him to swear off booze? Wow. THAT's love.
Posted by: Diva | 11:32 PM on March 27, 2008
Well, kids, time to call it a night. I'll bring the coffee cake in the morning, but somebody better remember to plug in the coffee. PLease. If I miss you in the AM, have a safe flight, Jug!

wassamattah, judi? Sorry I missed everyone, but my Legoland post is finally up. I'm getting a RL beer and I'll be back in a minute.

Great read as always Annie. As for the thread topic, the burgled woman should try out for a role on CSI: Miami. She couldn't be any worse than Caruso.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 12:20 AM on March 28, 2008
Nice segue, Doc. I'm not a fan of Caruso, either. My old house was once broken into. I came home to chaos, went to use the phone to call the cops and gasped. There was a stank of body odor on my phone. The creep had used it!

EWWWW!!!! Not pleasant at all I can imagine. I've been fortunate in that I've only had one attempted theft of my stuff. Back in Waco, somebody got in through the sliding rear window on my truck. All I had inside was some CD's, but nothing was missing. Guess he didn't like Phil Collins Greatest Hits or Clint Black.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 12:40 AM on March 28, 2008
Isn't that kinda insulting, that someone breaks in and your stuff isn't worth taking? I mean, he made that effort to break in and you let him down.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 12:45 AM on March 28, 2008
Yeah, but my sucky taste in music might have discouraged him from trying to rip my CD player out of the dash. He might have seen my taste in music and figured it might pollute him some how.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 12:55 AM on March 28, 2008
I like Clint Black. Collins is ok. I had my Blaupunkt system ripped out of my dashboard in college. I had to wake the security guards to tell them. Yes, I filed a complaint on them.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:01 AM on March 28, 2008
It probably didn't accomplish much but you still should have filed the complaint. Just imagine if a rapist or mugger had been hiding there waiting on one of you. We had 3 car break-ins at FOX on the overnight shift because our security guards were too busy yaking with people in the Master Control suites. Not that they could've done anything since they were unarmed.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 01:10 AM on March 28, 2008
But I sure got the stink eye from the college cops when I walked into their station to file it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:17 AM on March 28, 2008
Yeah, college cops are more or less rent-a-cops with badges. Generally a lazy bunch who'd rather eat jerky and stare at the co-eds jogging than do any real patrolling. Just in case, if any of you in blog land are college cops or work security, I'm sure you do your job excellently. ;)
Posted by: Doc Rick | 01:32 AM on March 28, 2008
Yes, and I'm sure any cop bloggers would never ever have p0rn mags in their back seats like these goobers did.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:40 AM on March 28, 2008
Of course not. Or a flask of something that might not be considered suitable for work. Like this guy for example. *zip to the 1:19 mark in the video*

Goodnight Annie. *flips blog bar lights down to dim, sets coffee maker to extra strong mode, and orders the donuts from the Sugar Shack which he hopes is not a strip club instead* To any late night drinkers still lurking, the keys to the liquor cabinet are under whatever it is that the blogettes are going to be waving at Hammie later today. ;)
Niters peeps. Catch ya on the flip side.

TGIAV, Punkin. Never have to worry about the Spam for breakfast problem. although i'm not thrilled about oatmeal either.

Posted by: Doc Rick | 02:24 AM on March 28, 2008
Rick, I was going to post that it isn't around anymore, but used to be a Wisconsin place for "ladies only" back in the day. Well, lo and behold, a quick Google tells me the Sugar Shack is alive and well, and has widened its horizons, so to speak, with something now for both genders. It's 6:45 in the morning here in Chicago, so I'll leave the rest of the clicking to you.
[Signed: Cat, who would never have patronized such an establishment back in the 80's on a Girl's Night Out and really has no idea what you're talking about; those photos are not of me, and I have never liked rum and Coke, so there.]
Posted by: Cat R | 07:47 AM on March 28, 2008
If I've done nothing else today I've inspired a blogette to research and discover that an old haunt of hers is alive and well. God bless the interwebs! ;)
Posted by: Doc Rick | 08:19 AM on March 28, 2008
Good morning!!
Green eggs and Spam™, anyone???
*grabs coffee and heads out to shower*
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:36 AM on March 28, 2008
Hi there guys, hey, hey it's Friday.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | 08:49 AM on March 28, 2008
But you have to be careful about that Rick. I mean, really, that could lead to all kinds of dangerous places. Today, its just an old haunt, but the next thing you know the BeeGees will be blasting, and leggings will be back in style. I ask you, do we really need to live through that again?
Posted by: jug | 09:08 AM on March 28, 2008
Doc & Kat, I can tell you in all honesty that I go by the Sugar Shack every time I drive from my mother's house to my sister's.
And no, my mother and sister are not Siouxie and D-Diva.
Posted by: padraig the cheesehead | 09:09 AM on March 28, 2008
Morning guys. No Jug, we really don't need to but if Cher can keep having comeback tours then anything is possible.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 09:18 AM on March 28, 2008
I'd welcome a BeeGees revival if I could substract the years from my age.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | 09:31 AM on March 28, 2008
Leggings and the BeeGees again??? *shudders and looks around for a little hair of the dog to 'sweeten' the coffee*
Posted by: Texgal | 09:31 AM on March 28, 2008
padraig, wasn't it out of business for awhile? Or did it just move? My girlfriends and I used to drive up to Lake Geneva for other, more ladylike reasons -- like skiing and snowmobiling at Interlaken Resort on Lake Como -- and I thought the place was gone for awhile. We only went to Sugar Shack once twice.
All right, blogits. Stop snorking coffee all over your keyboards. Yes, I used to ski. I even parasailed once. I did have a life, once. ;P
Posted by: Cat R | 09:32 AM on March 28, 2008
Morning, all! Mot, I don't think it works that way.
Posted by: Texgal | 09:33 AM on March 28, 2008
Buenos Dias!
Pad, good thing you cleared that up. I didn't think I had a son OR brother.
jug?? don't you have a plane to catch???
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:36 AM on March 28, 2008
One can dream Tex. Actually, if I turn my age upside down I'm back to being young and virile.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | 09:37 AM on March 28, 2008
Mot, I do not want to go backwards no matter how old I get. Somewhere along the line I'd get the first wife back and I'd really rather get old. Plus, I can buy beer now to make the Bee Gees tolerable unlike the first time around.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 09:37 AM on March 28, 2008
But Doc, if you could go back with today's knowledge you'd not make the same mistakes. Youth is wasted on the young.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | 09:41 AM on March 28, 2008
What is wrong with a BeeGees comeback??? hmm?? Course I couldn't possibly fit into my 80's leggings now. But I still love 80's music.
Cat, same here. I've skied skiyed skiied what you said. And I also used to dive. That was all before motherhood when I did have a life. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:46 AM on March 28, 2008
But youth is supposed to be fun Mot. I look back on it fondly every day and do wish to go back there at times. The problem is if you do and correct all of the mistakes you eliminate the good memories you have of the in betweens of the good and bad times. If I don't marry the first wife I don't move to Waco, get a job in a field I always wanted to be in and meet some friends who have help shape my life. Screwed up as my life is, I want to stay in the here and now and wait it out until the pendulum swings in the other direction. Thus ends the CJesque rant.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 09:54 AM on March 28, 2008
No, Souxie, I don't fly out till late afternoon. I just hope the theme song for the flight isn't "Staying Alive'
Posted by: jug | 09:55 AM on March 28, 2008
ohhh..don't forget to take the booze in a clear plastic container. Sounds like you're gonna need it.
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:57 AM on March 28, 2008
Sooz those falsetto voices and Barry's cheesy hairstyle used to set my teeth on edge.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | 10:00 AM on March 28, 2008
I have already planned that out, Siouxie. Dasani bottle, with Vodka in its place. It should be an interesting weekend.
Posted by: jug | 10:02 AM on March 28, 2008
Jug, you could put the booze in an empty bottle of Smart Water. That way when someone says "Think you're smart, donchya?", you can hold up the bottle and say "Well...yeah."
Can't wait to see that. Send me the addy in case I can get down there, k?
Posted by: baligurl | 10:03 AM on March 28, 2008
LOL Mot, I had the biggest crush on Barry! Now he looks like caca, but back then...I'd drooooooooool.
Smart guy, jug! (like bali said)
Posted by: Siouxie | 10:06 AM on March 28, 2008
If we're talking hot 80's singers, I'll have a scoop of Rick Springfield, please. Yum. (He still looks good, too.)
Posted by: baligurl | 10:09 AM on March 28, 2008
Smart water? Good plan Bali. Photos will be taken, but no Siouxie, I didn't pack the red pola dot thong.
Posted by: jug | 10:11 AM on March 28, 2008
dang, jug. You did promise to show me!!
bali, I LOVED Rick Springfield too. YUMMMO!
Posted by: Siouxie | 10:14 AM on March 28, 2008
Rick Springfield? I have one of his albums (vinyl-yes I am old school). The one with the dog on the cover. It rarely gets played. Dylan, The Moody Blues, the Beatles, Traffic or a host of others usually win out over RS.
Posted by: jug | 10:16 AM on March 28, 2008
jug, the Beatles (and I have most of their albums (vinyl), ALWAYS win over any other artist - imho.)
Posted by: Siouxie | 10:22 AM on March 28, 2008
*zips in*™
Good morning, all.
When I was still married we were burglarized. I was in the bedroom when the Dep. Sheriff came, wondering why the burglar ransacked my underwear drawer (?) and I heard him ask my ex what we did for a living, and when he told him I was a CDA, the cop burst out laughing!! Not very nice.
Posted by: Eleanor | 10:33 AM on March 28, 2008
Back to the Shack with Cat... (sounds like a fun afternoon, btw)...
I believe the Sugar Shack did close for a while, which left my older sister with some time on her hands, but it keeps springin' back to life, as it were.
The original owner, Dana Montana, is said to spend most of her time these days tending to her herd of fine Arabian stallions. So, not much of a career change.
