Dinnering ding dong dilly

Yo! Where we gonna go?

According to some “personality test” on the spacebooks, I’m very decisive. Haven’t you noticed that here? Oh, the hilarity. For example, trying to decide right now if I want to work in my dad’s garden, or have my dad work on my porch. Very different things, but both will absorb hours like spilt milk on a paper towel. So I guess what I’m saying is that you’ll have to discuss with your own decision-making preferences, because I will either be wandering Menard’s or not. Me, I like decisions. After they’re made.

If it is going to be over 50 degrees today (seems like it is) may I suggest the upstairs deck at Harvey’s….

Will Harvey’s be far enough away from the Wild Bull “block party” to not receive any spillover? 

I’m not dissing the Harvey’s concept, just wondering…I like to do it on the deck, but not if it’s gonna be full of bungholes.  I mean, you know, other than bungholes whom I love. 

I think it might be far enough removed.  OP definitely would NOT be far enough…..

I imagine we’ll be there.

Wouldn’t the bungholes stay in the area of Bungtonguers, formerly Rumrunners?

I don't think there will be THAT much of an overflow!

Wow, that would be giving the “Wild Bung” quite a bit of credit. I think they’ll clog their own block nicely, but I can’t imagine it stretching to Harvey’s. As far as that goes, the Roadhouse could be full of high school graduation parties!

I think they’ll have enough to do down dere by the Mr. Bull’s Wild ride that at Deckey’s we will be mostly out of range of bunghole fire.

Not the dread bunghole fire!  There’s a cream for that, by the way. 

Sounds aiiiiight to me!

I believe we’ll be there, unless the water heater installer actually takes four freaking ever at installation.  He’s supposed to be there between 4-7, so if he doesn’t show early, we may be bowing out.  I await further information from the homefront.  The homefront came and went out to lunch with me today!  It was fabulous.  We discussed many potential locations, and then caved to the siren song of Coney.

This has been a crazy week. I’ve been trying to claim that the moon is in the 7th House of D’OH, because I am powerless to explain the chaos that has occurred in recent days!  Our water heater blew while we were out of town for the weekend, and the holiday  delayed Sears deliveries so that the new one isn’t scheduled to appear until TODAY. We have been boiling water on the stove in every available stock pot and dutch oven and lugging it upstairs to dump it in the tub, at which point we leaven it with cold water until its a moderate enough inch of water to “bathe” in. It sounds rather as if our dryer is preparing to clank its last clunk. The voice mail system died at work, and for some reason, the email messages that I am sending in place of voice mails are making certain computers crash. I think that every single person in the office has stopped by INDIVIDUALLY to inform me that they can’t call long distance. A skunk got hit in the middle of our urban street and stank the damn place up. My co-workers printer has crashed every single day.  All of my records of last week’s UPS transactions have vanished.  Entire project folders disappeared off the G: drive and reappeared in a totally inappropriate place on the server.  The engineers just, this morning, somehow lost a 30 x 36 fiberglass panel sample in their single large, open workspace, and none of them can figure out where it went.  It vanished.

I was bitching about just a few of these items to a flickr pal, and she said that all hell always breaks loose for her when mercury’s in retrograde.  So, I looked up “Mercury in retrograde.”  Check it out!

What is Mercury Retrograde?:

This happens three to four times per year, when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It’s an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train — as it recedes, it appears to go backward.

What are the Mercury Retrograde dates for 2009?:

The dates are January 11-31; May 6th to 30th; September 6th to 29th; December 26th to January 15th, 2010.

What happens during Mercury Retrograde?:

Since Mercury rules communication, it’s said that everything goes haywire in that area — emails get deleted or bounced back, mail is returned, calls go out into the ethers, etc. Some people find that their computers go on the fritz or phone lines go down. I’ve never seen the hard data on this, so make your own observations. It does seem though that miscommunications abound during the retrograde period.

A Time-Out:

Mercury retrograde gives us time to catch up with ourselves, and to look back. Something from the past might return in a different form. This can mean people, ideas or buried insights that need to surface for you to move forward. Often it’s felt as a contemplative time, depending on the sign, a chance to go over old ground again, to claim what you missed the first time.

Be Non-Committal:

There’s a long-held belief that it’s best to avoid making set plans during the Mercury Retrograde. This means being cautious about things like signing contracts, and forming partnerships and corporations. What gets put in writing at this time may turn out to need serious revising after Mercury goes direct. But since tying up loose ends is the domain of retrograde, this type of finalization might fly.

Can you repeat that?:

In our relationships, sometimes we gloss over things that pushed buttons at the time, but which we let slide. What seemed not worth the trouble may reveal itself as a major issue in need of our attention. The Mercury retrograde is a time for review, when the underlying patterns come to light.

Back to the Drawing Board:

Some dreams and goals get lost in the hectic rushing around of daily life. The Mercury Retrograde period can be a rich time of reflection on those longings. This makes it a time for the soul to ponder its destiny. You might look over old journals, review your creative work, muse on serendipities of the past that have pointed you toward your spirit’s calling. It can make the retrograde period a time of solidifying a sense of your personal story and where you’re headed.

What does it mean in each different sign?:

The Mercury retrograde is shaped by the sign through which it is cast. For example, a Mercury retrograde in Cancer turns the mind toward things like family, home and the invisible emotional bonds that connect us. On the other hand, a Mercury retrograde in Aquarius gives it a different spin, with a review of group dynamics, the larger human community, all from a detached perspective.

Making the Most of Mercury Retrograde:

Astrology is a tool that can make you aware of patterns, like those that come during a Mercury retrograde. Just observe and see what happens, and be open to the past returning for review. If it’s coming back, there’s likely something more to learn or release from it. You don’t have to retreat to the zen monastery, but a little solitude and quiet reflection never hurt anybody. ”

Inksterites will be from 2-3, depending on Miss Daisy Inkster. I’ve always had a fondness for upper deck, so let’s do it. Let’s try. Let’s fall in love! Hell, maybe I’ll even stake an early claim.

Maybe.

Let’s see. The count is eleven. That should work, I think. All we can do is try.
