No Post Today

“How come why not?” says Admin.

“Nice double interrogative,” Spence says.

“That’s the kind of writing we do here, minimalist to the max. But in answer to the question … ?

“I’m wrapping up The Teitelbaum Divorce today.”

“The new Chet and Bernie e-short story, coming in July?”

“Exactly.”

“Can you give us the first sentence?”

“All right,” Spence says. “‘I think my boyfriend is cheating on me.'”

“What happens after that?”

Welcome handsome dude, Roxie & Heidi.

    Looking for someone to adopt or foster a great dog. Do any of you know anyone who might be interested. It’s not Tyb.

    What a sweet face that dog has. We are sure someone will love to adopt him.

    Good morning all. Waiting for the first visit from VNA. And Callie is smiling again after sleeping next to her beloved Gramp.

    Good Morning BStover and Tyb.

    Oh my. You can tell that is one smart dog! Is he part Border Collie do you know Jay?

    This is for Mollypop’s Mom. Information about gluten free baking. Although with that wonderful restaurant downstairs I don’t know why she would bother. It is from Cooks Illustrated Test Kitchen.

    Spence: Oh, no. You mean you are Really going to make us wait until July?

    B. I do believe Spence and Admin have discussed this before but can’t remember if the story line had been decided.

    TYB: What a Great Looking Dog! Look at those white paws. His name could be Socks.

    Good Morning Hounds, Staff & Tupper&Gilly & All.

    That dog has got to be part B.C. Just check out the intense stare-they called that a hard eye. Very pretty dog.

    Staff, you mentioned making hummus. It is easy to make in a food processor – chick peas are the main ingredient. We tried making it once without tahini paste and it was really blah. If you have an ethnic section or a grocery like Whole Foods or Trader Joes, you should be able to find tahini paste. It comes in a jar or tube, and is a main ingredient in hummus. I think it is ground up sesame seeds.

    9:41 am on May 2nd, 2014

    Staff,
    The dog is 3/4 Australian herding dog and 1/4 border collie. Anyone wanting more information can give me a call at 716-378-1239, and I can email everything that I have on her to you. She has been with a man who has been doing research on canine cancer for several years and who in no longer able to keep her. I don’t know the reason for that; it sounds as though it may be a health reason.

  11. Tyb
    9:42 am on May 2nd, 2014

    It’s a female and gets along well with other dogs. If she’s not interested, she ignores them.

    Staff, check your SDD.

  13. Tyb
    9:45 am on May 2nd, 2014

    Staff,
    In making your hummus, I think you need the tahini paste; but I found it rather dominant and felt that I had used too much when I followed the recipe. I’d suggest you add it gradually to your batch and go by taste.

  14. Tyb

    Her name is Angie.

    Good morning. That dog is a beauty, Tyb. Hope she finds a good home. So sad when they lose the home they have.
    We here cannot wait to read The Teitlebaum Divorce. We want it NOW NOW NOW.

    Sunny here and looks beautiful but it is COOL after the 80’s of last week. No rain for another 5-7 days and warming up by Sunday. Ah, spring. Oh, mom has 3 tomato blossoms and is planning on putting eggplant and bell peppers along with more flowers out today. This is on the front porch, sunniest place in the yard. The old garden has too much shade from HUGE trees do it is now the herb and butterfly garden.
    Staff, no flowers for flutterbys yet but they like feeders. Won’t stand still for fotos 🙁

    Greetings!

    Happy Friday all!

    Love Angie! If someone here wasn’t allergic, and we didn’t live in this animal hating co-op, there would be a good home waiting for Angie here!

    Macy’s Mom, I am so glad you had a nice time yesterday. We are twins…we can both manage to keep our shrunken heads a secret! Will be using that wonderful saying on the 2015 Plunderer calendar.

    and just because

    Hi, guys! Someone mentioned hummingbirds the other day. Mom has four feeders up under the back porch and she has been having to refill 3 of them daily. We always have a lot of hummingbirds and it looks like they are back this year too.

  31. Herd of Hounds
    12:02 pm on May 2nd, 2014

    BooBear and family, lucky youse! Miss the variety of CA hummers but the persistence of the ruby-throated here is hysterical! One even buzzes pink dog ears to let someone know to refill 🙂

  32. O'Howlers
    12:32 pm on May 2nd, 2014

    Youse guys are so lucky. We love hummingbirds, and we always get one or two who make their homes here each summer. But we sure don’t get the numbers you get.

    I like the double interrogative. “How come” is possibly short for “how did it come about that…”. Interesting. “Why not” is much more direct and perhaps more modern.

    Whew – another long day of errands and getting ready for Mama’s big trip. The VNA nurse came, and is very nice, but she is afraid of dogs. Callie almost has her convinced that dogs are a good thing. We figure by the time Gramp is back on his feet, the nurse will be a convert.

    Hi Barb and Maggie – good to see you back “home”. And how is Lucy A Roo Roo? We would love to hear her talking to you.

    Can’t wait to see the hummers in New Mexico. There are literally flocks of them around the feeders. Its funny to hear them squabbling at the feeders – sounds like a bunch little old ladies gathered for a gossip session.

    Here’s what I was able to find out on the Microsoft Explorer problem. First of all the fix was out already for it yesterday and that included XP which has been discontinued. The hackers exploited the flaw that allowed them to insert their malicious version of Adobe Flash into their web pages. People who clicked on the link to these webpages or simply went there had this malicious code downloaded onto their computers. This is called “a watering hole attack.” But I can’t find out what sites these might be. They might be popular but I have no idea.

    Attempts to mow the lawn have been unsuccessful. First we couldn’t get the mower started, then on the 8th or 9th try the puller rope broke. Does anyone know – do we have to buy a new rope thingy or that the old one be knotted and reused?

    What a day, what a day. First, the Giant put someone —not me—in charge and then loaded up a bunch of stuff to go to his summer job. Before he left, he said good-bye to that damn pixie. Instead of reminding her to lock the doors and telling her where more shotgun shells are stored like he always does all he said was, “You know the drill.”

    If I don’t get Angie for my very own I am going to be in a very bad mood.
