I am tripping more than you are. Battling razzberries

[the mingo]

I'd have to refresh myself on it - it's been years & years. You should learn it though for yourself, it can be fun. Just came from the propane folks and stopped by a junkyard to pick up a doorlatch for my war pony. $45 bucks for the latch. I don't even want to talk about it. Stopped by Himmie Toes for coffee & soup. Soup is ok but the coffee - guy that made it has just been made supervisor because the manager has the soft spots for his bod ... the kid just ain't got his shit together so I didn't expect my coffee to get to me unfucked. It didn't. Right On. Everybody down there knows how I order my coffee - four sugars one creme shot of pumpkin spice - but this messes with B_______'s head every time. I get home, sure enough, I got a coffee with four cremes one sugar & the shot of pumpkin spice was negligible. And the coffee was lukewarm to top it all off. That's what I admire 'bout this little river town - no respect for the Horde much less the Khan.
Hell yeah, Mongolia.

Wednesdays are always just that kind of day. The kids keep me occupied and I mostly just get to read all the stuffs you guys get to write on Wednesdays.
I missed yas though. Only on Wednesdays. la la la teasing.

And it looks like you might not like drinking coffees on Wednesdays.

I should be a pen-pal, ya know.
I'd be o.k. at it, but I just only type or scribble in notepads.
I've been blue about newspapers, guess that's why I thought of pen-pals.
Pen-pals and dear Abby.

I think Jack would write, I picture he'd have notepads and ink pens and I don't know if I picture you pen-paling it up, mingo, not sure. You might mail a mud-pie though or shell and it'd be painted.

I have an idea, you could and he could. Yes, to me...
I need to sleep, I'm being a weirdo.

[stilltrucking]

Buckeye Rd, Circle K truck stop, weirdo, good coffee, always just passing through, except for when I got laid over, it was a hard place to be, I just can not stop thinking about what it felt like to spend a day there hanging out waiting for a load of produce.

Big Chief note pads

[the mingo]

Wow a Big Chief tablet - i never had too many of those, always gravitated to those yellow legal pads and don't know why... down to work if something gets going around in my head I just rip off a piece of paper hand towel and get it down or doodle on it. Got bits and pieces of those kraft colored hand towels all around the place. I don't know what kid of pen pal I'd be - lousy probably.

[SadLuckDame]

I'm sure I'd be lousy, too. I can't imagine I could write in a letter like I can just write in a text box to you. I mean, it would be nice to make a little picture drawing on the side or fill the envelope with glitter, etc.

Jack I knew you had that big red book.
I have composition notebooks, they won't work and I'd end up doing the paper towel route, prolly. I don't know if I'd buy special letter writing papers. lol

[SadLuckDame]

I was too mad this week or sumpin' caught my tiger.
Tweet tweet twiddle de tweet.
Gonna go to bed.

Happy belated birthday.
Sorry I didn't wish it when I should have.

[the mingo]

I just got home from getting my propane bottle refilled and they must have overfilled it because the Jeep stinks of propane I had all the windows down 28 degrees outside my headache got reignited from it and I'm walking around the lodge all stupid. AAARRRGGGHHHH!

[SadLuckDame]

Do you feels better now, mingo?
I put the Christmas tree up and lights on it.
I was thinking I should downsize to a smaller 5 foot tree next year. LOL!
I couldn't drag this big one up from the basement and had to take it out in sections, then carry it up like that.

Watched the Smurf movie with the kiddos and it was wonderful, by the way, in case you want to know if it's any good.

Sweet dreams, u.
Thank you for a fun day.

Good Mornin' Doll !

HAH !

[SadLuckDame]

I listened to all the good tunes you were playing today.
It was like we were cruising down the highway and you had the best radio station on, we were grooving.

I watched a movie, finished getting the holiday stuff out and did some cleaning.
Got a new thing though to show you...
http://www.betterworldshopper.com/r-softdrinks.html
Just click on any item you've an interest in seeing if they're doing good things or not.

http://www.betterworldshopper.com/idea.html
A few changes I'll be making is I won't be buying dove products any longer.
Ben an Jerry's is doing amazing things, so a good reason to keep eating their ice-cream.

Sweet dreams to you.

voting with your wallet - now there's an idea. I didn't read everything there but enough of it to know these folks got it going on. Power to the dollar bill hell yeah, Mongolia!

and glad ya enjoyed the music...sometimes i roll the dice and come up in a groove

I began beading a raccoon skull yesterday & I have this small ceramic bird that will go along with it. for the neighbor's don't ya know. it's where i get the raccoon skulls from anyways...they put up nesting boxes for the bluebirds & then have to shoot the raccoons when they come araiding on the nests...

so i'm off to the beads ...

catch ya later, Doll ...

[SadLuckDame]

I got rather disheartened.
I went into work today armed with this information of voting with wallet and my co-worker said honestly she didn't care if such and suches brand tests on animals or not, she's still gonna buy such and suches, etc. because if she starts thinking about these things she'll become neurotic.

I was a little broken knowing that this is what most Americans think and that is why so few care about what it is they support with consumption, consumerism and they'll continue paying extremely high prices for junk/ill thought of process to product/non-creative/ just because it has a popularity tag and well-known brand name.
Sad sigh.

P.S. I'm not neurotic, this is an easy thing to do, just to gain the knowledge and continue shopping, but with a better choice that will actually help in the world.

I'm looking forward to returning thinking of your bead work instead.

[the mingo]

Hang in there, Doll, each bead is a prayer & it's one bead at a time, one bead at a time ...

[SadLuckDame]

I wish I were artistic, mingo.
I'd paint you into a picture of the Madhatter's tea party with Alice. It'd be a themed winter wonderland setting, all whites, some black, and Alice's blue dress.
They'd have hot coco instead of tea and the mouse is in a marshmallow.
You'd be the Madhatter, wouldn't you?
I'd be Alice, I hope.

My uncle died yesterday morning in his trailer over by the old Wittemore boneyard.
He was the one taught me how to listen so i could track dreams. He was the last one standing of my mother's family. The last of the half-breeds. They have all walked on now. Born to the Oneida. Born to the Wolf Clan - and died the same.

I'm gonna be gone for a few days, Doll. Talk to ya when I get back.
