Hollidays, Trainz, and the Blues

Hollidays, Arghhhh !

I was invited to a pickle party. They have only one pickle. Which they slice, bread and batter, and deep fry in hot oil ! Sounds thrilling !

The husband sits around in a gray sleeveless tank top, watching the horse races ! FUN ! He has all he onlne betting places on Speed Dial, making dozens of bets on races per hour.

The little lady informs me: We're making Rice Krispy Treats & Kake Pops on a stick. You could bring the laptop along, and play Trainz, all the while her husband races horsie's ... WoW, that sounds like fun !

My desk chair is uncomfortable ... went to Staples and found a $129 chair, for only $49 ... WoW !
Mental brainfart: I could buy 2 of these for $98 .... WhooWhoo ! No more sitting uncomfortable in sessions of Trainz !

Then I sat in another $168 chair, with retractable/adjustable arms. Fits my bulbious butt like a soft patten leather glove ... only $99 ! WoWser ! I could travel all the way to Delaware, and get 2 chairs, with no sales tax, for $198.

Went home and took inventory all my comfortable chairs laying dormant in my garage (all trashpicked from neighbors, all ready broken in). One has a teeny weeny bit of Dawg pee on the cordory skirt (a quick spritz with the garden hose, and little shot of Fabreeze should take care of that nicely). The little lady absolutely hates the idea, and wants me to throw it out. I have an identical matching chair (also trashpicked), that the Kat hardly ever shreaded up on both sides with it's claws (I love my 3 black Katz ... She though, wants them eradicated from the household). I tell her, that they are highly benificial to our domian, as they did catch 2 pee-u-ney mice, in 7 years time span.

I went to KMart and they had Wall's winter workgear coveralls at 25% off, and they had size 2XXL in a 2 colors. So I bought them all (I can return them if unwanted). Now I have 2 Bib Overall's, 2 Hooded Coverall's, and 2 Walls-WorkGear heavy duty jackets, that feel stiff and rugged, like army tent material ! The bill came to $450.97 (which includes 6 pairs of cheep Chinese shoes, 4 sets of his and hers fuzzy nap slippers, the amazing as seen in TV, "Mr Schticky" 3 Piece roller type lint removal set, the 4 piece teflon Taco/Burito Shell scalloped bowl set, and the miracle big bold print yellow PC key board for the vision impared).

My son hates the coveralls ! He says that he would be ridculed like, he was Billy Jim Bob, from Louisiana Bayou, who makes a living catching Gators' and Snappin' turtles, all the while dressed in his one of a kind, one peice, cut off, frayed, denim bib overalls (with no shirt, and evedently no under drawers underneath the catchy ensemble) !

Now I gotz' all the winter cold weather gear for fit for Antartica ... and it will be 87 degrees F in Christmas day, and 1/4 inch snow blizzards the rest of the winter.

But we have that all covered, as we are having a pre-cataclizim party, at out house (iglo) just in case, on December 20th, just before Myan Doomsday on December 21st !

Then comes the after holiday, store returns, of unwanted goods (ie: 6 sets of 2XXL winter coveralls, and two $99 deskchairs, that we dint' need in the first place.

Next year I'm going to take a cruse ship to Australia, just to avoid Christmas blah ! (hopefully as they are Downunder, in the opposite hemisphere), Aussie's celibrate it in July ?

7 days and countin but you should not have to worry they have been sayin this joke for years! but if the world ends"CURSE YOU MYANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
I hope I’m wrong, but I think the whole Mayan Calendar thing has been misinterpreted. The calendar ends on December 21, not the world. We all go into a perpetual “Ground Hog Day” -- forced to repeat last minute Christmas shopping at the mall every day until the world really does end.
 
This is the real story of the Mayan Calender:

A person was writing a calender but when he reached September of 2012, he drank a giant glass of water. When he reached December 21, 2012, he needed to go to the bathroom. He left his room and closed the door behind him, but he didn't know the door locked itself. When he finished, he came back and to his suprise, the door was locked! He tried to break down the door, but it was brand new so it wouldn't budge. He tried breaking the window but the window was strong. The calender was never finished. Explorers eventually found the room and saw the calender and gasped. But it was all a misunderstanding.

So what did we learn today?

Don't write calenders and drink lots of water and buy a self-locking door :hehe:
So lets carry on with our Trainz.:)
 
I think that this Mayan Calendar stuff is a load of baloney. The calendar ends on December 21st. SO WHAT?

My VW Kombis & Beetles calendar ends on December 31st, as do most calendars around the house, but it doesn't mean the world is ending with it. It just means we'll buy another calendar or two for next year.

SUBWAY125 has hit the nail on the head, that must be what happened. And I fully agree with Rick. (Ricke82)

I agree with you Rick , it seems to get a big chanching around that date and i think that is true . You can see it already in the world .Obama in America - Iran / israel/ palestine . Everyware democratie especially the eastern country's .But unfortunalaty a whole lot of agression but that couses the new vibration were in now.
 
Now, I really don't believe in this Myan Doomsday thingie' ... but it is fun to play it up.

Only 7 more dayz, to play with Trainz ... lol

2 guys in China, one built an Ark 50'x80', with 3 diesel engines, and another a 13' hollow yellow steel ball (floatable) lol !

Nothing happened on 1/1/01, nor 12/12/12 (accept that the Forum went down).

Greenland is losing its ice shelf, and Antarctica as well, there are 23 active volcano's in Alaska alone, and the Yellowstone Caldron is set to blow anytime in the next 1000 years ... this might cause something ... perhaps not in our lifetime ?

Seattle has had an active Tsunami warning system in effect for the last decade, just in case.

We are sitting on a thin crust, a mere 5 miles thick, above an erternal magma core Earth, that has a Nuclear Fusion furnace.

Prior to the year 1800, people were predicting the end ... The DLS even has a "DoomsdayMan" ... lol http://www.auran.com/trainz/downloads/terrainfeatures/kuid2_93316_13_1.jpg

By the way my name Cascade comes from the Cascadian Volcanic area, where there are 7 Sisters Volcano's, that are all tied to Mt St Hellens, Mount Rainier, and the Pacfic Rim tectonic plate, the "ring of fire".

Just in the last 1000-300 years there have been 10's of thousands of earthquakes worldwide, some of them major cataclizmic earthquakes.

Every year in the continental US alone, there are many, many hundereds of very minor Earthquakes, it has been going on for 10's of thousands of years.

Alaska had a pretty bad earthquake in the 1960's ? and Japan has had 2 very receintly.

Alaska has so many earthquakes each and every year, for many hundereds of years, that they barely take any notice of them.

Nothing to see ... Move along now !

I agree too this Mayan calendar thing is a bit overblown. My dad was reading in the American Archaeology Magazine that the Mayans actually had 4 calendars for different events and celebrations. Three of these other calendars have ended already and nothing has happened. I wonder why! :)

What I think is the guy writing the 12/21/12 calendar got tired of writing the days, weeks, numbers, and making all the pretty pictures that go on calendars. When he reached this day, he said this is good enough after all this was made 3,000 years ago and 2012 was a really, really, long time from then. Little did this old calendar-making man know that the future populations would get up in a snit over it.

Cascade - we have those same chairs $98 from Staples. Yeah we sprung for the toofa sale. Mine is all comfy, feels like a car seat. The problem is it doesn't stay up even with my svelte weight of 138 lbs.! As I sit and type, it lowers its self to the lowest position, making my arms feel like I'm typing on a shelf, or I'm 7 years old again and trying to sit at the grown up's table.

Hang in there. The holidays are almost over. I too do not like them for many of the same reasons you do, besides the traffic is at its worst as people are in that "oh so wonderful gift giving mood".

I think I preferred it when you're banned Cascade..
I'm trying hard to be more civil in my posts ... but old habits are very hard to break.

I'm just trying to have a little fun with this Myan thing (it only rolls around every 3000 years or so, and it will all be over with on Dec 22, when it too fizzles out) ... like we all did with the dumb year Y2K hype (I stockpiled cans of Spam, and refilled thirty empty 3 liter soda bottles with tap water).

RiteAid had summer liqidation on 16 oz propane cylinders 75% off, for $1.25 each, I bought 72 of them, cleared the shelf, and had a whole shopping cart full of propane tanks.

We're having post cataclizum Spam BBQ party at my house, on Dec 22, celibating the new Myan millenium.

I'll try harder to be more friendly.

My Myan calender has a Train photo on each page of the month.

Meanwhile, on the planet Nibru (which will emerge from its hiding place behind the Sun on Dec 21st) ...

Actually no, we don't - we celebrate Christmas in December here in Australia too (even though it's summer here). Can't escape the shops decorated in garish red tinsel and fake snow which is ridiculous given the heat outside. :p

Some restaurants here really do 'Christmas in July' events though, to give Aussie people a taste of having a Christmas dinner during winter, but it's not an actual holiday or anything at that time of year.
 
Well the world was also going to collapse in anarchy on 1 Jan 2000 when all the computers were going to crash. Remember the Y2K bug? But it didn't. Besides, the 21st is my birthday and nothing is allowed to go wrong on my birthday.

I didn't know they ran cruise ships from the South Pole to Australia. And we have just as much Christmas hype as the rest of the world. The shops have been playing Christmas carols since October. And yes, its been trendy to have "Christmas in July" for a couple of decades now. It's hard to get enthusiastic about Christmas Pudding when when its 110 degrees.
 
Cruise ships from Australia (actually: New Zealand) to Antarctica cost @ $3000, to $10,000 to $30,000 USD per person, and you need medical clearance to go there.

BTW: Happy Birthday ! I'll send cans of Spam, cartons of Instant Grits, and Dietz & Watson Scrapple.

Schwapple spread with Apricot Preserves, or Applebutter ... Red Robin ... YUM !

I'm sure lots of Kiwis (New Zealanders) would be highly insulted if you considered NZ part of Australia. :hehe:

Yes, its a bit cold down there - even in summer.
