Hooray! It seems the EarthLink servers are up and running, again. I was getting worried after two days of “This Page Cannot Be Displayed” error messages. I will say, I have been with EarthLink since I launched my first Web site back in the 90s, and the reliability has been outstanding—with only the occasional hiccup. Today, I have another Sunday A&J from 1994. This is a mild example of the insecurity that characterized Janis in the early years. Janis since has mellowed and enjoys life and marriage much more these days. In reality, the waiter or waitress who hovers constantly around me and pesters me with ceaseless questions and attention is not ingratiating himself. But reality is what insecurity is all about, is?

Ed B-J seems to have the same obsession that TIP’s previous artist had. “All men . . ..”
The apparent number of people with cats on The Dark Side really surprises me, as so many of them obviously have peeves for pets.
Listening to daughter snore along with grandson. She will deny Kids outside my door in pool must be a clutch? Noisy and frolicking. I hate pool locations. Family except for me always sleep until noon or later. I do better alone, of course, except for driving. I am bored!
I’ve heard of pet peeves. My impression is that they are similar to tribbles in that they multiply rapidly.
I still think Robin is bustier than Janis. And I’ve have been told by more than one well endowed woman that other women express as much, if not more, interest in their bust measurements as do men.
Not likely that much pool frolicking is taking place in Eufaula this morning, nor in many other locales.
Who doesn’t like a friendly pair of boobies? And whatever is the Dark Side, like some sicko 50 Shades of Grey?
Oh yeah, good morning peeps.
That;s great news about the sound card. Maybe the master volume control in Windows had been muted. Here’s an appropriate song for you, then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QT1p7C9raI
Good morning, Loon. I’ll second your thought about boobies, and add that TDS is often more like Fifty Shades of Fray.
Debbe, I fortunately have a facility for the internal structure of the English language and the spelling thereof; and since Lolcat is based upon it, it seems I can understand make myself understood in that, as well. 😉 I’m so happy you got your music back!
Well, here’s a how-de-do! emb, perhaps they missed being quite correct because they had tough little worms in their little insides?
If you can’t say something nice join The Dark Side and bit cheaper seems to be motto The Village has no venous biters, just neck nibbers.
“…can understand AND make myself…” Edit button, pretty please, Jimmy?
The Dark Side doesn’t receive the stimulating and scintillating benefit of our bountiful thoughts. 😉
Boy, this phone refuses to send what I type That was bitch not bit cheaper and nibblers not nibbers so we aren’t actually talking yet. LORDY knows what it would print I speak English as badly as MISS Piggy does French
Neck nibbling 🙂

Village Loon, yes neck nibbling can be fun, with the right neck! I used to say, I don’t bite, unless I’m asked.

At what % do you clean house?
In the 500K house is it all one flock? Or do they keep track by sections/blocks/floors?
Conditions probably don’t seem that extreme in Tampa Bay until you factor in the type of watercraft being used. Water temp is around 70 degrees F, which also doesn’t sound too bad until you spend several hours being soaked in it while exposed to 70 degree air temp and 10-15 knot winds.

Ghost, the news article said they called the race at the Cape Haze marina, which the map shows as near Englewood. On the map that looks like quite a distance from Tampa, out in the Gulf coastal waters. Here’s the forecast I found on the site you posted.
