His reply
Wow, that really made me thirsty for alcohol. :o)
ReplyDeletek, wait til I get there baby. LMAO
ReplyDeleteWaiting, patiently. The door is unlocked, come on in. Good thing I rearranged furniture and cleaned house yesterday! :o)
ReplyDeleteAs long as the kitchen table is clean and secure, we are good to go. :-)
ReplyDeleteClean and secure. You bringin' the booze? I've got a new bottle of merlot...
ReplyDeleteI'll bring the booze and the hardware--the full package. Let's save that merlot for later, unless you've been inspired for a little photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteHmm...Maybe. I did just buy a new video camera. What are we drinking?
ReplyDeleteSloe Gin Fizz, by the pitcher and not by the glass, while we listen to Loretta Lynn and Jack White sing Portland Oregon over and over and over again.
ReplyDeleteWell Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go [repeat]
Niiiiiice. I can handle that. Great song, too. :o)
ReplyDeleteGot anything pink you can wear? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHoney, I've got lots of pink.
ReplyDeleteI am wholly Dorothy Parker (love her poetry) and I am IN that drink! Pour me another, my glass isn't half full or half empty...it's halfway to the next glass!
ReplyDelete(A-F*$KING-MAZING Fractal!!!)
Wow..I said to myself...that looks like a Martini. Damn I'm good..or your good.
ReplyDeletek, pink just might be my favorite color on a cold winter night. Hell, that's not true. It's my favorite color any night. LMAO
ReplyDeleteAggie, welcome home dear. You've got comments, take them with the usual grain of flirtatious salt. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and your comment here is Abso-f***ing-lutely In-f***ing-crediblly funny and arousing all at the same time. :-)
Holly, I'd like to think we are mutually good, perhaps even symbiotically good. :-)
ReplyDeleteAgnes...I was ready "Dolly Parton's poem" at first and it didn't make ANY sense at all...LOL
ReplyDeleteSheesh...I AM tired :p
That fractal makes me feel like I'm seasick, Tree...lol
Sorry...but I have no clue why. Maybe I got the hangover from all that Martini right away :p
I just downloaded that song. Very good. What else you got that's good? :o)
ReplyDeleteTree, that is wonderful, just what I need, a bit of the hair of the dog :0)
ReplyDeleteExcellent quotes; Some Came Running, the most depressing movie ever made, and one of the best Dino ever did, hmmmmm maybe I need to pour me a little and put on the rat pack, to hell with the homework :0)
Christa, send me the cleaning bill--LOL.
ReplyDeleteImagine the money I could save if one could get intoxicated just from a fractal. Mmm. . .
:-)
Well, k, I've had no complaints on my hardware installations. Do you need the standard package or the deluxe? I can tweak things a bit too after installation, but that's extra.
ReplyDeleteEven I have to laugh at how bad that one was. Never lose the ability to laugh at yourself. LOL
Tracey, don't let me corrupt your study habits. However, if I can be of assistance with your biology homework I'm standing at attention and ready to be of service.
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty bad, LOL. :o) But I still thought it was cute.
ReplyDeleteLOL damn I honestly have no comeback for that one :0)
ReplyDeletethe thought of you standing at attention just sent every rational thought right out of my head
k, I'm feeling punch drunk with my comments. This fractal seems to be having a strange affect on several readers including myself. Maybe I just need to stick to smilies for now. :-)
ReplyDeleteokay then :o) if you change your mind, you know where to find me!!
ReplyDeleteDang it Tracey, I was just trying to help with your homework. Then again, you did leave me sitting on that cold medical table in just a hospital gown awaiting an exam last night.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we are going to have to reschedule. Still having those dizziness spells, especially when standing at attention. Any ideas on what can be done about that?
k, throw the flannel sheets in the dryer. And get some crushed ice ready too. Don't ask, I'll explain later. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSheets in dryer. :-D I think I have an idea what the ice is for.
ReplyDeletewell since it still seems to be a problem with blood leaving your brain for other areas :0) There really is only one cure for it,it is a rather lengthy cure and requires stamina and creativity.
ReplyDeleteHas A been sharing my top secret secrets with you? I might need to have a little talk with her about employer/employee confidentiality agreements. :-(
ReplyDeleteLMAO
Don't get her in trouble. I'm a clever girl; figured it out.
ReplyDeleteTracey, I am willing to try anything your nimble piano experienced nursing educated fingers deem necessary for a proper cure. Just let me know what the next step is. I'm quite anxious to deflate this problem before it grows too big. An ounce of prevention as they say.
ReplyDeletek, you girls really stick together. You have to admire that. In fact, it's really nice when two or more of you stick together. Have you bought the plane tickets yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to meet you at the airport tomorrow morning, darlin'... :D
ReplyDeleteI'd better go pack then.
ReplyDeletewell the first thing I must do is round up some supplies, hmmm lets see, shall we go subtle or a little more adventurous
ReplyDeletecandles or firelight
oil or body butter
fur or silk
whipped cream or chocolate sauce
:0)
I'll pick you up at 8, our flight leaves at 10:30. :D
ReplyDeleteHow bout candles, oil and chocolate sauce. Everything is better with chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'll put some water to heat to put the oil in. Warm oil is one of my favs.
Ok, what next?
k, anything I need to bring for you on this trip?
ReplyDeletewell, now I think we will just take it slow and easy and see where the nite leads us.
ReplyDeleteyou a fan of Donna Summer Tree?
Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way
turn up the old victrola
gonna dance the night away
Boy, I'm glad I installed those dimmer switches over the summer. :-)
ReplyDeleteDonna Summer reminds me of my university days many moons ago. Just a few memories that brings up.
Well, you are the one with a medical background so whatever you say goes. You'll find I'm a very willing patient. :-)
Just your sweet, soulful, decadent, and tranquil self. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I can handle that--lol.
ReplyDelete:0)
ReplyDeleteoh I'm sure you will be well satisfied with my course of treament
Tracey, I'm in your hands sweetie. Take good care with my condition. I have every confidence your experience and skill will be all that is needed. Starting to feel a bit dizzy again.
ReplyDeletewell I will just have to sing to you to help you relax while I begin the treatment.....remember what type of singing voice you said you like, I have been told my voice sounds like warm honey :0)
ReplyDeleteVoice like warm honey? Mmm . . .
ReplyDeleteHoney, I've got somthin warm too and it ain't my voice. LMAO
I'd like to hear a voice that sounds like warm honey. Very interesting description. Who would you say you most sound like that I might know?
Honey, I've got somthin warm too and it ain't my voice. LMAO
ReplyDeleteDayummm :0) I just bet you do
I have actually been trying to think of someone since you said that the other day. My voice is suited for 3 types of music; country (I actually had a vocal coach tell me I was the only person that could make an Aria sound like a country song LOL ), gospel, and lay on the piano in a slinky dress singin makin whoopee kinda music.
I'm gonna have to keep thinking on that one
and lay on the piano in a slinky dress singin makin whoopee kinda music
ReplyDeleteHow bout a lay on the piano in a tight white nurses uniform that's missing a button or two singin Patsy Cline "Crazy" kinda music?
That might be worth a trip to the Midwest--:-).
now thats a visual-I've been wanting to buy that baby grand for a while now, now I have a reason to LOL fraid we would roll right off the upright I have at home now.
ReplyDeleteadd to must have list:
baby grand piano :0)
oh and I would never compare myself to the great Patsy Cline (which I have playing right now, nice suggestion) she was one of a great kind, but I could definitely do the song justice
ReplyDeleteMake sure the baby grand is black. The thought of that white uniform on a black, mirror-like finish baby grand is enough to make a grown man cry. :-)
ReplyDeleteNow, are you getting any homework done tonight? I don't want you to be mad at me if your grades suffer. ;-)
Tracey, if you can do justice to that song, you've got one great voice.
ReplyDeletegot it, must be black (lol of course in order for it to fit in my house I am going to have to move out all the furniture--put on list, must have bigger house LOL)
ReplyDeleteand yes as a matter of fact I am getting a lot of it done, I almost have the spreadsheet done for tomorrow (and yes I figured out my problem) and no I most definitely wouldn't be mad at you, this semester I can use all the stimulating diversions I can get. :0), the closer I get to the end of all this, I swear the more work I have, shouldn't it be the other way around :0)
aww dang make a poor girl blush,thank you.
ReplyDeleteRight now unfortunately I am just getting over laryngitis, I actually sang a week ago Sunday when I shouldn't have (just getting over a cold, voice fragile) but what can I say, it was just one of those things, something I couldn't pass up, but I am paying for it now.
About another week and I will be back to my normal sultry self :0)
Well, let me know if you need some help with the garage(sp?) sale. We certainly need to make room for that baby grand now that I have the visual in my head. And I'm not gonna touch what I could do with that lead off LOL
ReplyDeleteSultry, now there is a great word. Might need to do a fractal around that one. Mmm . . .
ReplyDeleteEW on the fractal. Love(!) the quotes, made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteTrée, sorry, I didn't come see you last night, I couldn't quite seem to open your door - did you lock it again? I wish, you'd stop doing that! I mean, how am I supposed to get in?
mergrl, if I wasn't already hooked on your blog, "making whoopee" (lol!) would have had me checking it out in the expectation of a ton of giggles, wouldn't have been wrong either.
awww thanks Autumn :0) Right back attcha, thanks to Tree, I found your little home on the web.
ReplyDeleteA, did the secret key I gave you not work? That makes me so sad since I was waiting up all nite with my special oils, just in case your shoulder was still acting up. :-(
ReplyDeleteDamn that blogger, whoever he is.
Oh, Good Morning. You're up awful early today. Miss me? ;-)
Always miss you, oh Decadent Provider of Fun & Laughter. Which key? Are you sure it was me you gave it to? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and no more oils, they put me to sleep :-), feeling wide awake and raring to go.
Awwwwww, my day always improves with a little Sunshine. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo sweetie, you are the only one I gave that key. ;-)
Now, that sneaky little k seems to know some of your secrets. You didn't leave her alone with your purse did you?
Hmm, will have to hunt around for that key, remember where you left it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't tell k a thing, I swear! I guess, she's just a smart, knowledgable girl ;-)
That's exactly what k said when I asked her if you were sharing secrets with her (for ex: crushed ice). Mmm . . .
ReplyDeleteAnywho, the key is gold and has a jewel encrusted heart-shaped knob. I had it hand-crafted in Venice many years ago by a master artisan who practiced the black arts of love and mystery. He is no longer alive, so the key simply cannot be replaced.
It's one of a kind, please tell me you didn't lose it? I won't sleep til it's found. Already feeling an elevated pulse. Please, make haste in your search.
Check under your pillow. If you don't find it there, then look deep into your heart. Like a said, this is a very special key and takes on many forms. Much power in this one my sweet sunshine.
Knob, you say.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very, very special key indeed. I am most dreadfully sorry for the fact, I seem to have misplaced it. Please, please find it in your heart to forgive me. I will start looking for it right this very minute and rest assured, I shall not stop, sit, eat, sleep or smile until I hold it in my hands! :-|
Phew! Found it, it was in the 2nd place you suggested. Very lucky, since it's breakfast time and I'm famished. :-) smiling again.
ReplyDeleteOh, A. You have no idea how much it would mean to me for you to be holding that key, with the knob firmly in your tight warm loving hand again. Hold it tight and never let it go. One of the special properties of this key is it warms to the touch for which it has been entrusted. The heart turns a glowing red color and if you have the right sensitivity, you can feel it pulse ever so slightly in your palm.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, yes, it's special A. Few have ever held it and fewer yet are destined to be so privledged. Please search hard my dear sweet woman.
Try this. Listen to the beating of your heart. Listen closely to it's whisper. Trust what it tells you. The key and your heart share a common beat. Listen, it knows where to look.
Let me know when you find it dear. I'd be lost without it.
"my dear sweet woman" Ohhh! (sighing as only females know how to do ;) Just for that, you get 10 Brazilian-massage-worth of points!
ReplyDeleteThat's very sweet, but my raison d'être is to give, for only in giving can I receive. But, I'll take them there points none the less. LOL
ReplyDelete:o)
ReplyDeleteI call your :o) And raise you :o) :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat, never enough smiles in the world.
ReplyDeleteOff to smile at it, and see if it will smile back. Here's hoping....
Smile and the world smiles with you. :o)
ReplyDeleteMake believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's mine.
Have a great day A!
Nite/Morning everyone. Last one out turn out the lights.
ReplyDeleteSweet dreams. :-)
g'night Tree, sleep well darlin
ReplyDeleteWe should be enjoying our Traditional Hurricane Bellinis by noon today...
ReplyDeleteGetting lots of wind and tons of rain (and a few tornado's here and there)... We should be a-ok by bellini time!
You have become a very popular guy!! Just thought I would stop in and say HI.
ReplyDeleteSherri, post a pic of a martini and folks come running form all over. Go figure. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to see you visit again. Hope your week at work is better this week than last.
J, I expect a full report by bellini time. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey. hope you got all that homework done.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I think this is your best yet. It really does look like a martini in a dream like world. And having used the software for awhile now I now very well its hard to get it to look exactly perfect. But this is. It could be a poster.
ReplyDeleteSo I found the key to the door, but you forgot to mention, it was for the back door, which is quite a complicated detour
ReplyDelete(had to come in through the archives, front page is blank).
All that work just to say "Good Morning" :-)
Never mind, tried the key in the front door again and it was 10th time lucky.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack. Poster? I might need a business manager. How much spare time do you have? LOL
ReplyDeleteLikewise, your fractals are just getting better and better too.
A, I know how you feel. I went to get the paper and found I was locked out of my own house. That blogger guy must be having a few issues.
ReplyDeleteHow has your day been?
good morning :0)
ReplyDeletecoffee is brewing, got done around 2, but got most of it done. very sleepy now, but still have more to do and have to put some time in the lab today.
hope you are having a good morning :0)
That blogger guy is just too much!
ReplyDeleteMy day: 'Night fever' with a double twist of lesson.
Yours thus far?
First two interviews were a wash this morning, but I've got Christopher with me for another 4 hours so life is good.
ReplyDelete"life is good"
ReplyDeleteGreat! :-)
I love the quotes!!!!
ReplyDeleteYea that fractal definitely has a "strange effect"---mmmmm! By the way, I love the blog name. Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy...
ReplyDeleteThanks Oliviah. Good to see you visit again. You're welcome here anytime. :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture I was stirred ...
ReplyDeletefrom the comments, I was shaken,
or is it shaking. ;-)
Cool pic's Tree and the banter is
priceless. LOL
Rhody, glad to provide the free entertainment. Don't be shy, the door is always open at my place brother and the fridge is always stocked. Feel free to help yourself.
ReplyDeleteWeathered the storm... just so bizarre-the Hurricane was pushed outta here so fast because of the cold front coming down outta the North-so we went from driving tropical rain to cold, nasty wet Winnie the Pooh day without missing a beat.
ReplyDeleteBellinis were good-but it was a little chilly to be drinking frozen drinks today. We managed!
Guess Fall is here now since its going to be in the low 40s tonight... Brrr!
J, I don't want you to drink alone, so I'm having a few. I'm with you in spirit brother, just don't call me too early tomorrow morning. LMAO
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are ok.
That's a beautiful graphic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sydney. :-)
