WOW & Holy Cow, Matt! First, THANK YOU for keepin' us "safer" through your service!!! Pretty darned intense position!!! Thank you AGAIN!!!
And yes, "Chief cook & bottle washer" is a big hat to stand under as well!!! I thought being a giraffe neck washer at the local zoo was tough, but dang!!!
I think even your dog would smarten up pretty quick, up here. That or, well, I'm SURE it would! We're having the earliest Spring ever (so "they" say) and gaining about 5 minutes of daylight a day right now. Before long we'll be into the 70's & 80's too and have 18 hours to enjoy it each day! The land of the midnight sun, baby!!! Of course, up at Point Barrow, the sun sets in late Oct. and doesn't rise again until late Jan.! Whatever day of the week in Jan. it does peek up over the horizon again, is reffered to as "Sun Day".

I've been that far up north before but, only on a ship. Nice thing about that is you only have to put up with no sun for a week or so and then things start to return to normal. We stood what's called "port and starboard" watches while I was on board ship. That's 6 hours and 6 hours off. After about 2 weeks of that you can't even remember what time if day it is. Ask someone what time is is and then follow up their answer by asking "am or pm?" Gets old quick and we would stand those from the time we got underway until we pulled in to our next port. If you stood morning and eve watches then, next time you got underway it would be afternoon and midwatches. Sometimes it was over a month or two before you rotated. Depended on how long between ports. In the Persian Gulf it could be months. Sucked.

Not "and is". He said "as is".

yabbut, I thought that was a phone typo, cuz yesterday it wuzn't makin sense in my head. Now it did finally.

Oh ya! Love those WallyWorld pics!

I hate those things......or more to the point folks makin fun of the pics. Why? Cuz I figger... even though I rarely ever go to one anymore, I've probably been in some of those pics, and folks were makin fun of me!!

Except that's not what Matt's post says. You quoted it but then when you rewrote it you wrote something different than what Matt had written. Read Matt's post again, and read it right this time!

well I kept his the same......but I wrote how my brain was reading it. But Daniel and I ran some errands, and my brain got some fresh air, and now I see where the error was that I made.

Yep, a comma would have helped. You're in good company with the brain farts. I've know @Debadoo for 3 years now. Catch my drift?

hehehe well........if nuttin else, ya gotta admit......I keep ya on yur toes!!!

What bugs me is when they ax a question

Last stinkie 10/15/2013

ohhhhhhh that one does drive me nuts. Also when they want you to be more pacific. (specific) I've always had way bigger stuff to get tweaked over for the most part than how someone talks or spells, but those two do bug me.

Ain't ain't a word and ya ain't s'posed ta use it
If ya say ain't 5 times then ya ain't gonna go to Heaven.

Say it aint so...........I wanna see ya when I git there!!

Ain't - Merriam-Webster
It's in da dictionary, brother... it's a word.

YOU git cookies!!!

and using "emogies" (sp? Ha, Ha, the dictionary doesn't even have a suggestion for that!)

emojies. But but but.......sometimes and emoji says it all! Hmmm I get a red line under emojies, but not emoji. Let's try emojis newp red line there too. Apparently yur not allowed to have more than one of em.

Here's one I've never gotten a definitive answer to; There are three ways to spell the word "TO". How is the word "TO" spelled in that sentence???

huh??

It's like George Carlin said, I tried to spell my name the other day and couldn't stop! George-orgeorge-orgeorge................ It's a never ending NAME!!!"

same with bananananana. Ancient joke, boy asked girl do you know how to spell banana? She said Jup! (really she did) I just don't know when to stop!

To is where you go. Too is inclusive and two is a number. Simple.

Is to a nice place? Never been there......but..........I'll be in Florida tomorrow!!! Wahooo still don't seem real!

That's something I wouldn't mind having heard more often!

don't say I never did nuttin for ya!

We were expecting it to be raining all day. We have beautiful blue skies! It's 75 degrees. Nice

we got y'alls rain. yesterday was at least 89......but today is 64 and rainy. But...... word of my fryin pan must be gittin to mother nature too. 3 times while running errands, the rain would start just a tad, and I told it to stop........ 3 times it stopped!!! 4th time it said poo on you I'll rain if I wanna, yur not the boss of me.

Not for the weak of heart. Me in a comma or coma

Damn son. I swear. I looked up that nose hole and it said"this space for rent or lease."
What put you in a comma?

 

[2legsshrt]

I keep these to remind me how close I came. This is a distant shot. Scares me everytime I look.

It was drug induced when I had to be put on a respirator. When I woke up I asked my wife how long I slept and she said 3 weeks. I said NO WAY.

hehehe. I can't find it now, but years ago we laughed so hard at a video..... a guy was washing an elephant and the elephant started to sit right on the man's head! You could hear the schloop sound! Felt so bad for the guy but it was hilarious! I found others, but not funny like this.

Oh, wanted to share a pic of a couple of neighbors who dropped by for coffee the other day.......

Ya, I did a 9 week tour or two "up there" (actually several, Summer & Winter) and you REALLY DO loose all concept of time. 24 hrs. of daylight or 24 hrs. of dark and not much in between. When this ol' Earth gets to tiltin', she does it a lot quicker than most can imagine. I will say the nights (dark days) are AMAZING though! So many stars, the aurora, the moon seeming to change shapes due to the refraction of the atmosphere. INCREDIBLE!

Jup, saw this a while back too and IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

I don't remember the name of the show, Amazing Animals, or That's Incredible or something like that. I'm pretty sure Stacy Keech is the narrator. He's in "Crowded" now on Sunday nights. He was also Sgt. Stedenko in Cheech & Chong's "Up In Smoke" (not that I'd know anything about that ).

Times TWO!

 

[Von Vape]

See Matt, I'm catching on (TWO )!
Hey! Here's another "sobriety check" saying.......
I know you believe you understand what you think I said.
I'm not sure that you realize that what you heard is NOT what I meant!

 

[bigbells]

We stood what's called "port and starboard" watches while I was on board ship. That's 6 hours and 6 hours off. After about 2 weeks of that you can't even remember what time if day it is. Ask someone what time is is and then follow up their answer by asking "am or pm?"

I thought time would be given as military time. No?
