If it’s good enough for Solonor to do…

…then it’s good enough for me!

Yes, my family is gonna have us a yard sale today. (OK, technically I’m logging this on Friday night. But as I get up at 5-frickin-AM to get started, I won’t be in any mood to be a-blogging.) You’d think after reading about Solly’s yard sale folly, I’d know better. Nahhhhhhhhhhh……

Of course, we don’t live in the oppresive Florida heat. So we ought to be safe from melting. Actually, we’re sweating whether or not it’s gonna rain.

I really hate doing these things. (My day job is retail management. So I take a day off from work to do what? Sell stuff? At home?) And we do them every year, sometimes twice a year. But at least a bunch of junk gets out of my house, we get a little bit of scratch cash, and most of the junk stays out of my house. (Making more room for new junk!) At least my wife has relented in recent years, and is allowing me to cart off much of what’s left at the end of the day to the Goodwill Store. Only a small portion of it gets packed away for the next sale…… and it resides in the garage.

Wish me well, or laugh thinking of me all day. (Hell, if you knew me well enough, you could laugh thinking about me most any day….sheesh!) Maybe the Rasreth family will even land here in time to have that laugh in person.

I’m gonna practice…. “No, I won’t take a quarter for that! It’s marked fifty cents, and that’s what I’m gonna get! Awwwwwwww, alright. A quarter. Thankyouverymuch.”

My Red Letter Day…

In honor of my red letter day… I decided to go to lunch, have spaghetti, and spill sauce on my white top….

If I had thought ahead and worn red today… I never would have spilled. I’m sure you already know that there is a law… if you wear white, something WILL be spilled on it.

TGImp3F

Hey all – MJ here. Every Friday over at my place I do a little thing called TGImp3F . This week I can’t resist a long distance dedication to the one and only Mr. Rasreth…

“We’re gypsies in the palace. He’s left us here alone. The Order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne!”

Stranger in a Strange Land

Good morning everyone. Michele here.

I promised Solly I wouldn’t write anything about the Red Sox. The stinkin’, ugly, six games out Red Sox. So I won’t. Maybe.

Instead, I’ll just direct you to Monster Poolside Sumo. Or perhaps Hungry, Hungry Hippos is more your speed.

I am here to entertain.

Solonor retains control here, ‘kay?

Look, I am going to link you up to my website http://www.poetsoflondon.com tomorrow.

So behave, ‘kay?

Hi, Ric. I feel somewhat as if a whole set of monsters had woken up.

And look I feel sure that Solonor has got a hotline to the server if things get too bad. And he will pull the plug . . ..

Sally, feigning panic.

Hey Hey…

It’s Dana here. It’s a Red Letter Friday! What does a Red Letter Friday mean, you ask…. well to be honest, I haven’t actually decided as such…. when I was a teenager, it meant that my best friend and I would big a letter and every time we wrote it, we’d have to use a red pen. However, that seems very annoying as an adult….

So, I think it just means I will try to visit sites with the word RED in them…. I feel a google search going on soon….. hey, you can have a Red Letter Friday too…. leave me a comment and let me know where I can find a good RED site.

What Shall We Do?

Well now, our host is away, gone on his family vacation. So what do we, his legion of minions, do while awaiting his return? I’m sure there’s all kinds of trouble we can get into, and with several fill-in hosts, this should be quite interesting.

What I’m looking forward to (other than my house being one of the stops on the Rasreth July journey) is seeing whether or not “he” can refrain from checking up on his this week. I bet it’ll be bugging him the whole time! But knowing Mrs.R, I expect he’ll behave, as much as possible.

So let’s have some fun with this, and try not to mess the place up too badly.
Pick up after yourselves, and all that.
