Ok, gotta go, but while we’re channeling Steven Wright:
I went to a store with an open 24 hours sign and the girl said they were closed. I pointed to the sign and she said, “Open 24 hours, yeah…but not in a row!”

I called to say Happy Mothers’ day and find out what else she got, but Mom’s probably in church so I left her a nice Hallmark-esque message.

Good news! My sister showed up for Mother’s Day with nothing, making my lam?ffering of doughnuts and flowers, plus verbal coupon for a bush or shrub a veritable cornucopia of presents! Plus, my other sister only brought a box of chocolates. Whew! Dodged a bullet on that one.
More good news is we fit in a little hike between showers and saw this.
Now lunch and shrub shopping!

The Addams Family is timeless. Whenever I visit an over-decorated home I think of them. I did like the stuffed bear though!

How about Chiller Theater and The Bowery Boys?

oh, the addams family is another all time favorite.
when i was living in costa rica, i was walking through my host family’s home, and their son was watching los perdidos en el espacio on the tv. i nearly fell out laughing so hard.
reminded me of my college days… watching kung fu movies overdubbed in spanish.
OK, i need to rustle up some lunch
y’all have a happy mom’s day

Because of Dark Shadows I leaned to do homework really fast.
It came on ABC at 4pm and my sister made my brother and me finish our homework before we could watch. We’d run home, get out of school clothes and into play clothes and hit the books!
Yep, DS, then the 4:30 Movie, then Eyewitness News (where they were always talking about Tel Aviv and Phnom Penh…I always wondered what was wrong with the news guy that he couldn’t say television or fountain pen!)

Hey CB!
Thanks, Wade!
Dark Shadows ran on USA, I believe, all through the 80s when I was growing up. I adored it along with The Addams Family, The Munsters and Hammer Horror Movies. My parents let me watch anything, man…
Lost In Space was wonderful. I love that the Youtube link is in Spanish.

It was like Lassie, but with a horse. In fact, I’m pretty sure they just changed the names and used the Lassie scripts. You know, the old get-trapped-in-a-deserted-mine episode, the old haunted-ghost-town-that-turns-out-to-be-a-hoax episode, the old raging-forest-fire episode. That sort of thing. Man, I loved that show.

My students are going to have very little use for Aussie slang, or very liddle yewes for Oh-zee slang, at this stage of their lives
I thought they were hilarious in that kitsch 60s Batman way. Comedies seemed to have some style then, and didn’t mind playing with the surreal … but anyway,

it’s funny about those two tv shows. they didn’t even last a season, and were on 4o years ago, but i still remember them… mostly because even at 9-10 years old i realized how awful they were.

No, it’s been fairly chilly, Wade. But June is just around the corner, so I guess we’ll get some of the warmer weather back soon. The clouds did all disperse today though, so the day ended gloriously.
Yes, every family does work (or not) in it’s own way
I’m trying to write a vocabulary test. I think I just got stumped on the first question. Serves myself right for setting it!
I’m not too zappy your morning, Wade - I always could function much better in a mob of people.
I enjoyed Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice yesterday. The music for Captain Nice was the best
I love those Henry Mancini sounding soundtracks.

I saw your new photo, I think Wade, but I will just double check, and you’re welcome regards the comment. I guess all people are different. I know my brother is in closer contact with the family than I am, but with many of my male friends that doesn’t seem to be the case.
None of us have kids, though, so I guess there isn’t that bond. My older sister is pretty dutiful (or likes to call), my younger sister is not in touch with any of us, but lifewise that will sort itself out one way or another.
See you Ames ♥

That’s a lot of calls, Wade. I email once a week, a few times a week, but a bit like Troy, I’m not that comfortable on the phone. My inner harridan comes screaming to the fore. That is with family, not with friends. So I tend to avoid calling and receiving calls.

The radio is playing an acoustic version of Cliff Richard’s ‘wired for sound’. It sounds as if it were just made for that type of working over. It’s much better than when cliffy sings it, though I can’t get the lyrics out of my head as the guitarist goes along.

All soaked and slightly rested.
You are a very good man, Wade ~ but onto less work related things, perhaps ~ will you call your M(u)om today (have already done so? - or just need to send a message down to the cellar?
)
I got my mother’s day out of the way last week, but still sent an email today.
Oh, onto work related, and then I’ll stop - I’ve worked with a lot of different nationalities too, and yes, the face to the area, to the calamity and the reasons why the calamity happened and continues to happen, changes your perspective on things.
Oh, and shout out to Morpho. She put a lovely comment on one of my photos. I haven’t chatted to her for a long time.

Comment #48751
i guess part of it comes from where i work… not only because it is the center of government, but there are a lot of immigrants/refugees from all over the world living around my office. makes it easier to put a face to the messes around the globe.
i know that i can’t do much about it (and that it has been going on since the dawn of time - we just have video cameras everywhere now), but it still makes me angry to see stuff like what is happening in burma.
ok. i’ll stop now.

And my trusty back-editing skills show that I did
I’m surprised you didn’t put the Greek in 
I am like that, ‘Glo - I think it’s meant to be a sign of supression - but I know it will rankle, and some things do rankle me outright. I’m not terribly articulate when I am emotionally invested in something. I’m not necessarily good at detaching my emotions, even when I am arguing something intellectual - but those who want to dig in have each other to play with
I stop watching for long stretches of time, ‘glo, and it easy to do, cos’ life is usually fine for me. I then just dismiss outside news as too difficult to contemplate, and maybe it is, or maybe it is that I’m used to thinking that whatever goes on in the world will go on, and I have no power to observe, or to contribute to lessening the pain that occurs. And maybe that is the truth.

It’s like Mother Hubbard’s cupboard over here, dangerously low on ingredients, not to mention kitty litter.
I sometimes think I’ve got a duck’s back, rose, but the way things echo around in my mind later begs to differ with me. Maybe it’s more like I’m slow to react, so a lot of things can pass by, but they rankle later.
Wade, honey, there’s always bad news. The more news you watch, the worse it seems. Why not be an American for a day, and give yourself a break? ♥

No, Wade, though that was my slightly edgy comment - but what can of worms would it open, and would they ever stop coming out of the can?
Disparity, I guess, is the name of events in the world in general, and I guess it has ever been so. Just that maybe the disparity gets wider and wider as populations get bigger, and technology improves and is available only to some.

Good morning, Wade. I kind of hate to break it to you, but that pro wrestling stuff is all fake, you know.
OK: short version of Mother’s Day woes: no yeast in the house, very little butter, so, homemade bakery not possible without getting dressed and going to the store. But, if I go out to the store, I might as well just go to the bakery and buy something. Only, homemade bakery is a gift in itself, store-bought bakery not so much. What else to buy at 6:30 am?

Hey Wade and Glo ♥ ,
wanna hear about my planning entropy, or shall we discuss the rosy-fingered dawn (no reference to either me, or M-A there
) ? Gilgamesh is the topic of quite a few recent Australian fiction books.
Things are not too good in Palestine, as always.
But, your mother’s day woes, while I’m planning, would be fine!
You can put that edge right back where it belongs, Wade.

The hematoma happened after I thought I was fine from the accident/concussion.

Short term they’re saying could be 6 months.
Thats cause of cognitive stuff mostly and depends on progress.
I was back at work for a little while too before the hematoma thing.
Thought I was fine…but I guess not.
First I was recovering from a grade 3 concussion I had in my accident, which took…I think about 6 weeks,
And then I was back at work for…I don’t know, a minute.

Even though she’s annoying as hell sometimes…
But putting up with me isn’t easy sometimes either.
