  1. Representatives from the parking lot drainage pond alligators union, local 666, are demanding to be evacuated to higher ground. They claim human climate change has resulted in 20" more rain having fallen so far this year than usually falls in an entire year. It's not known how much longer the chain link fences surrounding the drainage ponds will hold them in as rainfall continues... More on the six o'clock news...

      20 more inches puts it just about ass deep!

  2. New short short story on my blog... 

  3. WOW! I am back from an involuntary vacation from reality! When you bundle everything into one account you lose everything when you get cut off!  It's amazing how much power your ISP really has! 

    So tell me did the world come to an end? Aliens land?

      Yeah let us hope I have that out of my system now, only the second time in my life I have messed up a car...

      I had new carpet installed yesterday and had to dismantle my IT setup. Hard to deal without the internet, even for a day. I worked in Word mostly, which showed me how often I use the dictionary and thesaurus, because I actually had to go find my copies....

  4. New page has been added to the new story.

      I posted this publicly, if Strange read he didn't comment, in fact you are the only one who did. Not sure what that means, one person i asked to read it doesn't speak to me anymore...

      I’m sorry about that for you. I don’t know what it means either..

  5. New story on my blog, finally I am posting an entire story. I will serialise this over the next several days. NSFW! Should only be read by adults! 

     

  6. My youngest son is in California right now, this week Monterey and the next 6 weeks Lawrence Livermore laboratories...

  7. Lots of rain lately has left many puddles hidden in the grass. Riding mowers don't mow water very well...

      Did you break a rotor ?

    2. Moontanman

      Naw, but it did drag the motor down to the point of cutting the engine off. Now off to the parts yard to buy a used door for my car, I love motor vehicles... 

  8. I have been husbanding a small endangered fish for the last few months. I started out with about 12 of them and now I have  more than 12 dozen of them.

      Cool. Have you sought to avoid inbreeding depression, as mentioned in the last part of your link? I imagine this is quite a problem with endangered species and trying to keep them going.

    2. Moontanman

      Moontanman

      Yes, I will add some more wild specimens when I transfer them to an outdoor pond. I used to breed dwarf crayfish, I tried several times to breed a line of blue specimens but the blue color always seemed to be associated with extreme inbreeding. I ended up with a line of paisley patterned crayfish. I still managed to sell quite a few...  

  9. Leaving for the hospital, more surgery today, see you guys in a couple days at most...

      Make sure to pick up an extra gown. Breezy backsides are a real treat during a hot summer. Speedy recovery, Moon.

      Take it easy on yourself. Glad to have you back.

  10. I just found out one of my stories was being used on a site without crediting me as the writer. Weird feeling...

      Did you contact them about it? Maybe they'll add you as a reference or something.  What do you write?

  11. Are you asking me if we have talked on other forums? I am Moontanman everywhere I post so if you have talked to moontanman it's likely to have been me...

      Everywhere I go, there I am. :) 

  12. Well lets see, the US and UK have expelled Russian diplomats, they are expelling ours. Putin claims to have unstoppable nukes, Rocket baby wants to ply with his little rocket and Trump pays money to be spanked...

    What could possibly go wrong!

    I just applied for a renewal on my aquaculture license, I'm adding three new species to my aqua-farmette. 

    So should I go one like nothing will happen our spend my time digging a hole under my house?

  13. I started getting my garden ready today. I still hurt but i will not give in, the garden can't wait for me to get better. I was able to do some needed weeding for about 30 minutes! 

    1. Raider5678

      Raider5678

      Yes, the garden can certainly wait for you to be healthy enough to do it.

      Take care of yourself moon.

      Good to hear you're up and running Moontanman. Don't smoke all the weed at once.

  14. I've been away, I fell in the yard and broke some ribs. Not doing much typing or anything really...

      @koti I beat the door into place with a hammer, it's difficult to shut and open but I think I'll have to buy a door from the local parts yard. I messed it up pretty bad...

      Ha, that is good to hear! Beating a door with a hammer is a sign of getting things done :D

  16. Damn TV died last night, it's old, I tried the quick fixes I looked up on google, none worked. 

    Looks like I might have to use my Computer monitor as a tv for a while. 

    If I can get the monitor to hook up with the dish. 

    Life goes on!

      What model is it Moontanman ?

    2. Moontanman

      Moontanman

      It's a samsung HLS4266WX/XAA, I think the bulb overheated. It turns on for a minute or so then turns off. I put a new bulb in last year when I was doing the same thing. It worked until now. The TV was one I rescued off my neighbors trash, recycling at it's finest! It was doing the same thing then, I might look and see if the cooling fan is messed up. It appears to be running but I'm not sure how strong the airflow should be. It's pretty weak... 

  17. It looks like I'll live, my left is smashed up pretty bad and I can't remember how I did it or why my car door is messed up. My only memory is driving home from the pet shop and seeing my vision go double but my memory stops there...

      Just trying to say something positive.  It is possible to pray and trust in medical professionals.  They're not always mutually exclusive.

      A few months ago they operated on my spine which went great and I’m good as new (tissue from L5/S1 verterbra was pushing against my spinal cord paralising my left leg and foot) I was lying on the table, there were 5 or six doctors and assistants getting things ready for my procedure. I jokingly said to one of the young assistants who was getting the tools ready, that if I watch those shiny tools for a bit longer they wont need to use anesthesia on me. She replied that „now all you got left is prayer” To keep it short - they needed to use more anesthesia on me after that :P

      Cars are expensive to fix, I did a little hillbilly engineering on it and wired it shut for now. I'll take prayers in the light of how they are ment. I had a doctor actually abuse me this last time, he insisted on cutting my face with no anesthesia. I sprained my biceps trying to hold on the the bed rails, I bent one of them. They left an 8" long piece of 1/4 inch tubing in my face by accident but refused to believe i was in pain. The damn titanium plate broke and had to be replaced, they took a piece of bone from my hip to replace the bone that had to be removed. The two and half years of this was a bitch... I know, complain complain...  

  18. It looks like I may have had a mild stroke, I sprung the door on my car by backing up into a pole with the door open and now it won't shut and my left hand is swollen like I have on boxing gloves. I'm not sure if my mind has been affected but I remember nothing of the last 24 hours or so, I certainly don't remember damaging my hand or car. I won't post again until i get some treatment.

      Hope it was just too much bourbon and not a stroke.
      Get to the hospital immediately, even 24 hrs later they'll be able to tell you ( or set your mind at ease ) whether you had a mini stroke or not.

  19. Damn if it's not going to snow here again tonight. I moved here to get away from that crap..

      Coldest I've known is 0f. I could feel my finger tips sticking to metal outside when I touched it....  that's crisp. :)

      I've had -22 before.

       

  20. Snowing now on top of a nice layer of ice! Woo who! Nothing like slippery sidewalks to make an old man cry... 

  21. Freezing rain has started here, it's been below freezing two or three days now, very unusual for this area. The weather says sleet and then snow, I just can't wait :ph34r:

      Oh boo hoo.
      Its been -15 here for the last three weeks.

  22. Nancy is home, I got her settled in, the dogs are ecstatic, and I am very glad to have her home.  She is not allowed to move from one place to another without me hovering over her but she'll get used to it!

      She is doing a little better than the doc thought she would after the second break but slow and steady is what i want to see. I think the last fall was because she wasn't taking care but she is now!

    4. Outrider

      Outrider

      Good to hear! Two years after my mom had her knee replaced I complimented her doc on such a good job. He said no thats on her, she listened. Seven years and that knee is still working fine. I hope Nancy will do fine. Sounds like she has plenty of attention. :)

  23. My Wife, Nancy, fell this morning and broke her new hip, they can't operate until monday. I'll be spending most of my time there, wish her luck...
