It was so sad when the old place burned down, but if I see even a single fern in here, this one is going down too. Better dead than Yuppy! Put down that cell phone and start living! Now where is Marguerite? I’m looking for some big love from her. I hope she’s drunk, it’s the only time she gives me the time of day.
Bartender, get me a fru-fru drink and make sure it has an umbrella in it. I’m going to blow groceries in technocolor tonight!

norb reports: “This is not the Turtle and Bear Tavern I used to go to.” In case anyone thinks that norb is burbling then here is the other tavern he has been to and still is visiting.
(Link deleted by Administrator) Anyone is welcome to the Turtle and Bear. There is just a bit of cyber water between!

Marguerite[/QUOTE]Marge,
What you want is a counter tenor who can sing in the upper ranges without falsetto. Jeremy Jackman, first counter tenor of the King’s Singers in the 1980s, comes to mind–I could listen to him sing the telephone directory, regardless of how much I’ve had to drink.

Deb,
I’ve never heard of King’s countertenors. Would you tell me more, please. What is difference between falsetto and countertenor, for example. Does the reference to the “King” mean the King of England or King’s College (Cambridge?) or something else?
Someone in my apartment building admired my cane the other day. Thanks again for finding the wonderful canemaker in Yorkshire.

Once in a while I feel brave and stumble into a Tavern. I walk up to the bar and make sure everyone there has a good supply of salted peanuts right in front of them. Today I am feeling generous and making sure the Pretzels bowls are full too!
Can I get anyone something else to eat?
I hate to see anyone drink on an empty stomach.
Use that artificial sweetner in your drinks it makes you absorb the drink faster and get that buzz quicker!

Just plop the olive dish down in front of me as I have a craving for green olives right now. Lots and lots of them please. [B]HIC[/B];)

Snoopy Dance? I’m not doing a Snoopy dance. I’m doing a Tahitian War Hula, for God’s sake! What do you think all those umbrellas are for? It’s time to change my medication. Bartender, get my another fru-fru drink, and this time I want it in a pineapple or served in a Tiki god. I’ll have it over here on the beach while I watch the silvery moon rise over the breezy South Pacific seascape. Or is that the Budwiser clock? Damn, that GBS really screws up my eyesight in the late evening. Pass my a Ukelele, I feel the need to sing “Tiny Bubbles”. Okay, we’ll start off with the power E chord to get the place jumping….

Geez, I go to Tahiti to get awat from everyone I know and guess who’s sitting on the beach a few feet away from me and my martoonies, It’s that Lee guy with all those umbrellas in his hair. Wait, I’ll get my camera, he’s to drunk to know that I’m taking his pictures and posting them all over the internet.:p
If he starts dancing and chanting the War Dance, I’m running for cover.:D

Not me, Cheryl. I am a klutz.
Was telling Brandy last night about hot summer when my somewhat high heels got stuck in tar on street and I fell out of my shoes. Mind you, this was at least 10 years before GBS.
Actually, I think Lee is waiting for Marc to break radio silence.

Guys, guys, nobody told me I was missing all the fun while my wife was hawking the computer and I was watching our granddaughter the last two days. This morning I finally hobbled downstairs and escaped to the tavern through the extra ‘puter that was collecting dust – kind of like in the witch and the wardrobe.
I’ll have a Mai Tai. Just read the recipe, that is some potent stuff.
Or is it too early in the morning?
P.S. I snuck in my camera to catch Lee dancing.

Oh it has been many years since I heard “Mai Tai” Those were one of my favorite drinks! I even forget what was in them but it was GOOD! LOL You have to remember I have about two drinks a year so my memory can go from year to year what I celebrated with the year before! Never forget the name when I hear them. Salt on the rim of a good Margaritta is the best. I have so many bottles of Gin here can anyone tell me some good drinks to make to use them up?
I will leave you guys and girls this time with just a bag of Peanuts and Pretzels. It was a cheap gift but will hit the spot!

Thanks for the picture of Lee, my camera wasn’t working. Now you have to send that out on the internet.:DWhere is Lee, is hiding with Marc now? I’ll bet he rowed to another island just to get away from me. ๐ I still think he did the War Dance and has taken over another island and declared himself King.
Did you Lee, did ya, did ya?????????????????:D

OK OK I could not find any parking place right up front had to enter thru the rear entrance and they made me do dishes before I could pick up the order for the onion rings and cheeseburger. I get your starved! Takes me forever to do the dishes. I just ain’t what I used to be!
But in rehab they had me playing air hockey so I am really good at that if someone wants to challenge me to a game. I am also very good at the pool table! What kind of games we have here….just those darn video games?
OK Cheeseburgers and Onion Rings up! Free! No charge due to be being slow!
Enjoy! The Bartender will take your orders to wash it down!

Brandy, here I am sipping my own version of Mai Tai (yummy, that’s delicious), waiting for you to pick me up. Where are you. Now I have to come to the tavern on my Ferrari again. Who knows what I am going to hit tonight. Did u really think the pink helmet would keep me from a wild ride?
Don’t you remember me driving around in the late 70ies with a blue VW bus with 1 foot tall tulips painted all around? It worked with Carol ๐ that and my beard and German accent. She moved in with her two kids a few weeks later. Well, the kids are grown but she is still there.Found an old pix, pass it around so you’all will believe me.
Mai, this Mai Tai is tasty ๐ it really is
Sorry, Liz AND mARGE, if I talked with Brandy too much. You know, it’s hard to compete with a Harley. I’ll talk with youm about that tBIRD and the rose colored glasses LATER –
Mai, this Mai Tai is tasty ๐ hic I think I’ll mix myself another one. My own recipe, couldn’t find all the required ingrediewnts in the store today. No time to look, used Dial-a-ride since Brandy didn’t show up yet.

I’m on my way, but I need a few martoonies first. You can’t ride a Harley sober, where’s the fun in that. So have my drinks ready, lots of green olives again. The helmet is purple, not pink dear. My gear has to coordinate with the purple Harley. I do have a pink rose on the gas tank, but all in all everything is purple even my chaps and boots. ๐

AnonymousJune 1, 2006 at 9:36 am
norb thats easy just put 1/2 of the lime between 2 bowls and put under your hand and push together on the counter, the bottom bowl will catch the juice. make sure you put the top bowl on the lime in the “nesting” position!:D voila!!! instant lime press and catcher. i wouldn’t go using Carols’ best china though!!! that mai tai recipe sounds good, i’ll have to go shopping for the ingredients today! CHEERS!!!!:)

Thanks, Cheryl. That sounds easy. Why didn’t I think of it. Its learning new skills, isn’t it?
Hope you like my version of Mai Tai. One of the many recipes I found called for both dark and light rum. I did’t want to buy two bottles so I compromised and used the gold. It also includes triple sec liqueur, another bottle I didn’t want to pay for. Another recipe asked for almond syrup and grenadine. I got the grenadine but skipped the almond syrup. I wouldn’t know where to get that and it tasted fine without.I checked my blood sugar last night after the second one. Since it was only a little bit high, I had another one. I usually avoid sweet stuff but this was so good and I had not splurged like that in a long time. No hangover this morning.

Jerimy and Gang,
Glad to be back! I couldn’t log in with my old sign in, so my new one. I haven’t caught up with it all, but talked to Jerimy a few weeks ago. I am Paul Contos , in Alma, MI.
Alma had their annual Highland Festival, last weekend, and I had the chance to enjoy it this year with the help of my new power-chair, which I have dubbed, Rolls-Rough. Lots of Bagpipe and Drum Bands, Highland Dancing, and Athletic Games. Very Good but Very Hot–90’s, that weekend. I handled the heat quite well, to my surprise. So in consolation for the Detroit Redwings and Pistons, the Lions and Tigers…

Kevin, too funny. I lived across Enon Springs Road on the other side of Wal-Mart (well, at that time it was just a vacant lot) during my junior and senior years in HS in a yellow house on Chevy Chase Rd. in 1987-1989. After that I went to M’boro for college, then came to Chicago. My grandmother lives in Weekly Hills Estate between the base and the lake, and my parents moved off Old N’ville Hwy., still in Smyrna. Wish I’d known you in December when I was home for a visit! We’ll definitely have to get together next time I do come home though! Just curious, were you dx’ed with CIDP in Smyrna, or did you go up to Vandy?

Heck ya, I was dx by a neuro, (sleep disorder was his specialty) at Southern Hills. First called GBS, and after a year I was almost well , then started relapsing, so it was changed to CIDP. Got rid of the sleep dude, he let me wind up in icu twice within 6 mo. I did go to vandy and had 2 different nuros confirm it. How’s your honey doing?

Southern Hills, another hospital I would avoid. Ben’s doing great. It’s only been just over a year, so he still has extreme fatigue and a little leftover paralysis in his left foot and upper mouth. He finally got an AFO the other night, so I’m hoping it will help. He’s been stumbling a lot lately and scraping his foot on the pavement when he walks. I’m afraid he might fall again. Right now he’s taking a nap, so I’m just letting him rest as long as he needs to. He’s gotten all of his physical strength back, and by looking at him you can’t even tell he was ever sick.
Do you spend a lot of time at that Wal-Mart? If so, I bet you know my sisters. They’re there all the time because that’s about the only thing to do in Smyrna.

Pardon me mam. I mistook shannon for a guy, because i never met a girl with that name. only guys. I’m new around here and don’t want to make that mistake again. the dog/man with the Liz signoff had me confused in my drunken state. Now that I’m sober I realize it was Shannon trying to get me waxed and take me to some country named chicago. Lucky I passed out. I’m sending u this message thru a friend.

Paddy had been drinking
at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night
celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Mick, the bartender
says, ” You’ll not be drinking anymore tonight
Paddy. Paddy replies, “OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then.”Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat
on his face. “Shit” he says and pulls himself up by the stool
and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and
falls flat on his face, “Shit, Shit!” He looks to the doorway and
thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some
fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies
up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes
a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better, and takes a
step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face.
“Bi’Jesus.. I’m really crocked” he says. He can see his house
just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himselfup the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.
He takes a look up the stairs and says “No damn’ way”.
He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says
“I can make it to the bed.” He takes a step into the room and
falls flat on his face. He says “To Hell With it” and crawls into bed.
The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying
a cup of coffee and says, “Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink
last night?”. Paddy says, “I did Jess. I was really crocked.But how’d you know?”
“Mick phoned, . . . You left your wheelchair at the pub.”

Yeah, Cheryl, let’s go. Actually, don’t you also have a convertible? Have not been in one for years. ๐ – of course, I still have not taken up Brandy for a ride on her Harley ๐
We pretty much went through the pros and cons already. Just received yesterday e-mail from the director in Thailand. Probably have to go during the hot season ๐ฎ in March/April. This time there will be an official graduation ceremony at Chiangmai University and I will have to participate as registrar. Have to dig up cap and gown I have not used in 30 years. I was registrar at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. in 73/74 for a very short time before I switched to computers and looked for another job.
The bad news: I have to cut down on my drinks. Have to lose some weight before we go. That will make the hot season more tolerable: 100 degrees and 98 percent humidity is a killer.
OK, I won’t start ’til August so lets have a few drinks while I can.:D

Well, grab a drink, gather round and I will tell u a tall tail.
I bought a Lightweight bass guitar this year so I could hold it I am so weak at times. They are made in a small shop in california run by a guy name of Rick Turner(Link deleted by Administrator)
anywho, it has a lions head on the headstock, wish i had a picture of it.. I found one for sale on ebay and the guy knows the maker and had this story to say about the lion logo. I thought it was interesting, having experimented with drugs back in the dayz. This link may not last long so I posted the story below.
(Link deleted by Administrator)Edited to say, if u go to the above link, there are some pictures of the bass and the lions head can be seen on one.
Great trivia fact – the “Lion Head” logo on the headstock was drawn as a gift for Rick Turner by SF acid-scene legend Augustus Owsley Stanley III, who you would know intimately if you read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Bio below, courtesy of Erowid…
Owsley Stanley was the first underground chemist to mass-produce high-quality LSD in the 1960s. Born Augustus Owsley Stanley III, but known to most simply as Owsley or Bear. He served 18 months in the Air Force during the 50s. In 1963 he began attended U.C. Berkeley where he tried his first psychoactive and decided to produce methedrine. Police eventually raided his lab in 1965 but found only precursors.
Owsley moved to L.A. to pursue the production of LSD. He used his methedrine proceeds to buy bulk lysergic acid and produced somewhere between 300,000 and 10 million doses of LSD. Once finished, he returned to the bay area where he supplied LSD to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters for their acid tests. Through them he also met the Grateful Dead in 1966 and began supporting them both financially and as a sound man.
Owsley soon hooked up with Tim Scully and together they continued to produce LSD as well as STP (DOM). Owsley’s best known acid was “White Lightning” (300,000 doses) made in 1966-1967. Another popular run included “Monterey Purple” (14,000 doses). Most of his LSD was produced in large batches and either pressed into tablets or encapsulated. He produced a few grams of LSD in Los Angeles in 1965, more than that in Point Richmond in 1966, and the rest in Denver in 1967. Owsley Stanley’s total production has been estimated to be around 460 grams of LSD. In 1967, Owsley’s lab was raided and he was eventually sentenced to 3 years in prison. The same year, he officially shortened his name to “Owsley Stanley”.
Owsley Stanley went on to do more sound work for the Grateful Dead after he was released from prison. He now lives in Australia.

Bear with me guys. Here is a test on posting larger [U]personal[/U] pictures instead of using ones you just happen to find on the web. You have to have a place out there where you can upload your own pictures frst after you reduce it to a reasonable dimension. Then you get the properties and insert it here as an [IMG]. I have a website I own where I created a hidden folder for uploading. You probably don’t have that luxury.
But I had an idea lying in bed this morning – this is how I used to solve problems when I was still working in computing. I signed up for myspace this morning and uploaded a picture from my computer. Here is the link:
[IMG]http://myspace-821.vo.llnwd.net/01066/12/82/1066112821_m.jpg[/IMG]
Unfortunately, they automatically downsize your picture. But it’s better than nothing. This is the temple up the hill from where we lived in Chiangmai. Will be back there January.
Cheryl, e-mail me if I can help you with more info.

Elvis aka Soapy is way ahead of me. You don’t need to store your pictures at “myspace” as I suggested in an earlier post which I just deleted. He found a storage place you can use. I am testing it now with a picture of my granddaughter.
[IMG]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7819/sydneywithhatug4.jpg[/IMG]
Right click on it and get properties. Use the web address through the first “/” since I am not allowed to post web addresses. That gives you the site to go to. Upload your photo. Don’t forget to click the resize button and remov image size bar. After it is finished it takes you to your picture. Right click on it, get properties, hilight the address, copy and paste it here enclosed in [IMG][/IMG]. Instead of getting “properties” you also can use the address they give you next to the picture.
If you are planning to keep using that free service I would suggest to register. This way you can keep track of your pictures.
Again, I’d be happy to explain it in more detail.

#4. I’ll check radio button for file
#5. I’ll click “resize image”
#6. I’ll select 320 x 240 photo size, which radio button may have checked
#7. I click “HOST IT”
#8. THUMBNAIL COMES UP
so far, seem to be doing it right ๐
#9. I highlight to COPY in the second box that says for “forums”, boxes look like drop down
#10. After I have it copied, I go to forum and to PASTE it.

Hey Liz,
Just ask you computer questions here, and if we don’t know, maybe we can find out. I have been out once this year other than trips to the doctor. I still have fun tho Liz, this is one of the ways, messing around on these boards. I also play online games to help pass the time. I plan on discussing that later on.. It can be fun. Camera pictures, take some of yourself. Post em.. I just held my camera and took a few pics, of elvis, then picked the best and put a few up…I’ve posted pictures of other stuff, have fun…be creative. I’ll see it….I enjoy looking at pictures.. I noticed one of the most viewed threads was pictures.. not that many there tho.. Those lurkers, like that stuff, even if they don’t post much they are out there… watching..

I’m back again for advice from Soapy. The TAVERN seems to be a good place to find help.
I went to the very last one DIRECT LINK TO IMAGE, highlighted that and clicked copy and just the URL came up again when I tried to post photo of my little dog STANLEY.
Soapy, you said to CLICK THE IMAGE ICON in post, by that I think you mean the yellow box below white smiley face and paste in there, I THINK THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING WRONG, I PASTED IN MESSAGE BOX.
WILL TRY AGAIN

Aye, drink up then, for I hear Crippler is in town. He is still in a foul mood from being insulted by the princess Ali this past evening. Pity the man who dares look at him if he gits to drinkin. I shall have a beer this morning I think Norb, one of those dark ones, with the yeast clinging to the bottom of the bottle. yeah.

Whaaaat? All I said was that I would file down his tusks or fangs, or whatever they were, and trim the hair in his ears. ๐ He does seem to be touchy about his appearance, or was it that I spelled his name incorrectly, or maybe said that he scared me …… Not a man … umm, person, no sorry, thing (just dont know what else to call him) to be crossed, has a very short fuse. ๐ฎ

*takes a drink*
Crippler is an Orc, my princess. He was born in Sen’jin Village, but he was lost in the wild during the first conflict and was raised by a Dire Mottled Boar.
AT least thats the word on the street. No one has ever dared to ask him about his days as a young hunter.
*finishes his beer*
nother round fer me and the princess plz. -

Friends,
My spies tell me that Crippler has just strolled into town. No way I plan to be around if he comes in here. They say he is recuiting for the Horde, a ragtag army of cidpers and gbsers. Conscription would be the proper word for it I say. I’ve time for another beer tho, I’m needing stress relief in the worst way. Would I fight Crippler? What a silly question. Do I look like a fool? -

Fire Department Drill Team! That’s my nephew driving and his son is one of the men on back.
Before my nephew, his father, my brother-in-law was the driver and truck mechanic.
And before my brother-in-law, my father was the driver. The WILDCATS were at their best, when my dad was captain.
This is how we spent our summers as kids, at the tournaments.

Why not Cap N.
Jeez,
I’ll tell you what…I’m starting to calm down a little bit….. Suffice to say, I was lucky today. Somebody tell a joke…I’m dry… too. no jokes left in me, and I’m ready to quit drinking…Can’t drink ( ok ok , a beer…) but I keep a bottle for company ( rare occasion, my olefriends to busy for me too dave.) and a beer in the fridge… I’m letting a friend stay with me, he’s cool…has 4 kids and had to leave his wife in another state to come here to work.. Hopefully the house will sell soon and he won’t miss much of that new baby.
Anywho, He brings this guy he knows over to work on a resume for him to help him out.. its my friends day off… He fixes em a drink… his guitar player friend shows up, (brings lunch etc.) so we git to play a bit. Then all of sudden the guy who needs the help is wasted… I tried to get all my stuff out of the way, warned him to sit and chill, cut him off.. I be durn, if he didn’t fall over in the chair trying to sit down, knoks over my *NEw bass guitar*…. 5 min later he wan’ts another drink… I said dude you can’t sit up without fallin over, Told my friend to get his butt outta here.
Next thing ya know he’s cryin like a 2 year old, can’t understand a word he said. But it was like just all of a sudden he was wasted, so I suspect he might be doing other things. Who knows.. I tell you something I have learned about myself. I get nervous around people that are moving around alot. Its the same way with children…I see em fallin, or knockin something over, I can’t get comfortable, and I’m mentally exausted when they leave. I know some of it is me, and my own mental hangups.. I worked 30 years industrial maintence and still have all my body parts. First thing I would study was how the durn thing was going to try to get a peice of me. You learn to be aware of your surroundings. It just seems to me, everyone is on some sort of autopilot, and not aware of any thing. Was it always that way? Or, is it just because I’m so slow? I have to plan every move, ya know. Peope are so busy with some agenda, they can’t see squat? Apperantly they can’t hear either…I feel kinda sorry for people like that, but llike I said, they can’t hear either, so until God opens em up and lets em see and hear, I’m lockin the door if they come here…lol
Then again, that could a been me, if the sherriff had not put me on the straight and narrow long ago. *sigh* So I had a good time pickin, nothings broke.. But I am thinking about stopping keepin the hard stuff around. That can be what Kyptronight is to Superman for some….Most of people l met like that are drowning in self pity, they say, ah, I am good person, I just don’t know why I can’t get a break? 5 or 6 DUI , what? I say u might have a drinkin problem there bud…They sherriff is constantly reminding me I can’t save the whole world… I got that trait from my mothers, dad, Paw. He helped anybody who ever asked him, and never asked for anything in return that I can remember and He raised me. Now that I had time to think about it… I was tryin to help the feller, and the Angles repaid me, by layin that guitar down without a scratch. See what I mean, you got to be aware… Personally I think I’m surrounded by Angles, an ole soapy keeps em hoppin..I talk to em all the time..hehe
I’ve been pulled from some tough situations where God has made it so plain it was him, bailing me out, its scary.. or mental illness…
*cks his meds*
Just kiddin, I know we are not alone….*prays a thank you note*Lets have beer….. I’m over that hangover, then one I had that time when I swore I gona quit..

I haven’t been in for awhile, because I’ve been battling beasts, but I promised someone that I’d write another tavern song. Hope he’ll stop in. I may cross the big pond to see if Elvis will sing it.
This is just a silly fun song, I’m not a poet like Dave unless I can do deep thinking.
Lets raise our glasses in cheer,
to all the friends that meet here.We use walkers, canes and wheelchairs,
but we’ll drink and shout “who cares”.Eat burgers, pretzels and peanuts,
and then we’ll kick some butts.So raise your glasses in friendship,
and we’ll have just one more sip. -

Swimmy,
Another Girlie Drink or should I set you up with that Single Malt!!~! Either way it is on the house!
I read your recent thread about putting your “house” in order following your pneumonia. I can’t tell you how many times I have done that following a URI or the flu over the past years. It never happened again, GBS that is. I did have it twice, “78 and “79, and I was always so sure that it would come back after every illness. Never did..then I got to rationalizing it was because I was “prepared” so I stayed “prepared” Still never happened and then sometime about 8-10 years ago, I stopped and guess what, still never happened. So now I live my life, not my life in waiting. I know it will be hard and may not come anytime soon, but it will come. Good thoughts for you, buddy and let’s….HAVE ANOTHER ROUND!!

I’ll go with the single malt, seeing as to how (<-- now figure out that grammar! I have been in the South too long ๐ ) I am ecstatic to be 16 days passed pneumonia with no new tingling. Glenfiddich? 30yr? Oh, what a treat. Natalie, thanks so much for the story summary -- it definitely makes me feel better to see others doing the same thing, and especially to see good outcomes. Cheers! doug (... a PA transplant in NC)
