Good morning Gawh-gah....
 

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far!

If anyone feels particularly bored and energetic I have a lawn mower with your name on it. (cough cough)...just sayin'....


Katniss...(seriously thinking about trade-in for a loft/condo, and yes the grass really IS greener in my neighbor's yard))

Hellloooo?????
 

Anybody home? What happened to you people? Sheesh...mention a little yard work and we are back to crickets and lightening bugs. It's safe to come out now. The grass was cut (and so was an errant frisbee... but that's another matter all together).



Hope everyone is having a great week! :lawnmower:

Katniss~~

Ohhh,Miss Katniss, I am here laughin at your post and laughin at myself. Heck, if i lived in Georgia, i would come over to cut your grass just so i could meet you. Oh, pitiful fool. Honest, i am so damn tired right now i didn't want to log on. But, i saw that georgia and your name and i read your post about the lawn and i couldn't resist. I do miss cuting the grass where i lived before.
Too bad that i live far away. That is the only reason why i offered cause i knew i couldn't do it...That is just the kinda guy i am. Wink wink.
Glad you got your grass cut.

DMW....
 

Why I do declare....there seems to be a veritable outbreak of your "kinda guy".....although to be honest, I'm not sure if I were you I would admit the above. Word gets around and with your self-proclaimed lack of follow-through...well, my oh my...you just might be in for a bit of a drought in the dating department.
:playingcat:


Katniss~~(flouncing off with her sassy self across fresh cut grass)

Well now, drought is most certainly in order. I must say that is definately true for me. I am doing myself and the women in the world a favor by proclaiming myself to be the half-measures kinda guy.
All i would have been able to do, or allow myself to do, was cut the grass and leave. I do have a load of responsiblities right now that i couldn't have imagined. They may be permanent and i may be a permanent no dating type.

Flouncing among the Fresh cut grass. That is a nice image.
And the picture...
is it jesus or the mona lisa?

I just had a poem accepted into a beautiful literary journal out of Savannah.

So yeah, Georgia is on my mind.

Wow! Congratulations! Which journal? Tell them they need to fly you down as of part of the deal. It is a very pretty city.

Good Morning Ga. Peaches and Peeps!
 

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! A bit cooler in the mornings...yay, yay!!!
But...just heard the PeachPass/HOV lane was charging $5.65 to go two exits worth of road...less than 10 miles. Good grief! I don't want to get to work that badly!

Have a good one and hope wherever you are traffic does not suc.


Katniss~~

A little Ga. survey...
 

Out of curiosity......

1. Raise your hand if you already knew Georgia has a "Super Speeder" Law?

2. Bonus points if you know how many miles over the speed limit that entails.

3. Super-bonus points if you have any idea how much will be added to the "base" ticket price?

4. Triple-super bonus points with helping of warm peach pie a'la mode if you have any suggestions on how my "Like a Good Neighbor" insurance company is going to handle a certain little bit of info.
:nailbitin:


Katniss~~ (asking for NO particular reason...cough, cough...really...)

*raises hand* It was kind of hard not to know about it, with the constant radio and tv spots about it 2 or 3 years ago, and even the interstate traffic alert marquees still broadcast reminders. New to Georgia, maybe?

I don't know the speeds, though- something like 15 or 20 mph over the posted speed limit? I've been lucky enough not to find out. So give us details! How much is the fine? If it's any consolation, the money collected from fines is supposed to go to trauma centers to take care of people injured in car wrecks :|

Here is some strangeness from my week:

My neighborhood has an email list that posts all manner of questions and concerns, from "when is recycling day?" to "was that a gunshot I just heard?" Anyway, three days ago, someone sent out a post titled "Stop chasing the white rabbit!!" I thought maybe it was a "don't do drugs" message or something, but no, it was a literal demand. It turns out that the guy who owns the house next door was ticked off that on two separate occasions, two different women came in his yard to try to catch a white rabbit, and he didn't want them on his lawn (he didn't seem to care about the rabbit, he just didn't want any unannounced neighbors on his lawn).

I started off reading this email thinking the title is about drugs, then I'm thinking the guy who wrote it must be on drugs, because the whole thing is just so bizarre....I mean, two different neighbors chasing a white rabbit on two different days, but the SAME lawn?? Oh, and did I mention the house is right NEXT to mine??

So yesterday, it was about 7 AM, I was pulling out on my street to go to work- I drove past my neighbor's house, and guess what I saw right smack in the middle of the front lawn? Yep, a fricking white rabbit, bold as a bolshevik, just sitting there. WTF???

Oh, and I saw it again this morning. Same lawn, but this time it was in motion. I feel like I'm on drugs.

I REALLY want to know what the deal is with this rabbit. Is it a pet rabbit so well trained that it stays in its own yard? Is it an escaped pet surviving on cat food? Is it a wild rabbit with a really unfortunate choice in fur color? So. Fucking. Weird.

All I can say with certainty is that I'm not going on my neighbor's lawn to catch it. :|

White rabbit...
 

Ok...that is hilarious! I can see that on a "just say no" tee shirt! Ha ha ha!
I would hazard a guess (??) that maybe it is a pet rabbit that escaped or was even let go? I volunteer at a no-kill shelter and won't depress you with all the animals brought in when people lose their homes, etc. I do hate to think of the poor little thing come winter. I doubt it has much of a chance. But maybe it is the Easter Bunny out of season so very savvy? A little surprised a hawk, etc. hasn't made a meal of it. Please keep us posted on the bunny chronicles. Hope it ends well.

Katniss~~

Muggy and Buggy....phlech!
 

Good morning!

So....the weather report for today is 91 degrees and "muggy." Lovely (not).

There seem to be 9 bazillion (<--yes, that's a real number) mosquitoes in my yard. (super not lovely)

Hope everyone has a great weekend! If you are doing something fun please post so the rest of us can either live vicariously or just flat out be jealous!


Katniss~~(swatting mosquitoes and wondering about West Nile Virus)

A case of West Nile virus was reported in Avondale Estates, less than a mile from me. Yikes!

A few weeks ago, I realized the mosquitos really seemed worse than usual, and we've been getting just enough rain to create sources of standing water...so I went around my yard looking for them. I found that an overturned garbage can lid, flowerpot dish, and the ash-catcher on the bottom of the Weber grill all had standing water that was alive with movement from mosquito larvae...ugh.

I'm sure it's time to do a standing water check again.

So...here is the White Rabbit update I'm sure you've all been waiting for (or at least Katniss has!): There is no update. I haven't seen the rabbit again, but I haven't left for work at the crack of dawn since then either. I did talk to the neighborhood Harmless Crazy Lady last week, who made sure I knew that *she* was not one of the rabbit chasing trespassers mentioned in the Stop Chasing the White Rabbit Post...lol. She knows all of the neighborhood stories and gossip, and confirms it probably started out as a pet (it's far too comfortable around people, though not enough to let itself get caught)...but nobody knows who it belongs to.

Maybe I'll set up my humane small animal trap close to my neighbor's yard...but what the heck do I do with it if I catch it???

I've spent the weekend in Baltimore... flying back to Atlanta today. May end up going to work this weekend to catch up on the last week... even though I've been here for a work trip. Go figure.

Georgia On My Mind
 

Hello. I just wanna say fried pickles rawk!

I get home sick sometimes. (Mosquitoes, grass cutting, muggy weather, bunnies,:eatinghersheybar: oh yeah, I remember all that now - nevermind (lol) and, I remember praying for fall... hehe) I hope all the Ga peeps are doing ok? Really though - Georgia can never really leave your mind no matter where you land once you get a good taste of it.

You are too funny!!! We should get together for lunch? Cocktails?

All of my girlfriends are straight and most have kids and are married. I need some LGBT girlfriends!!!! :)

Hi Duchess! Ok, Bkis, you're holding out on us - where's the party?

A few things... #1 sorry I've been away but Canada was awesome :)

Now... Super Speeder Laws in Ga:

How much higher? The new law titled HB160 tacks-on another two-hundred-dollar state-fee for any driver convicted of speeding at 75-or-more on any two-lane roads.. OR convicted of speeding at 85-and-over anywhere in Georgia. Those new state fees will be in addition to any local fines already in effect in the jurisdiction where the speeding offense occurs.

*this is why regardless of where I am in the country - I don't go over 83 unless I'm passing... and even then I do it quick.


Avondale Estates: OMG I went to Avondale High! (a long time ago, but still) that was my stomping grounds. Used to walk across the gold course every morning when it was still there.. then they got rid of it and I had to actually walk around the long way around to the school. Bastages.



... and with that I'm off to get ready to head to "Bonkers" up in Roswell - bunch of my friends are getting together for some "two drink minimum" time...
