TBD on Ning

...The Ranch's answer to you -know - what - with no rules.

Go ahead...tell us what you're having for dinner - we can't wait! Got a cute pic of kitty peeking out of a paper bag? Post it! We live for that stuff!

Math addict? How about a refresher on the Pythagorean Theorem?

Like macaroni and cheese? Tell us why!

So even if you're not a writer or a poet (yet), there's still plenty of fun things to do at the Armadillo!

Oh baby, oh baby!

Thanks to all for your nice comments on the honeymoon pix. The first is in front of the Honeymoon Hideaway, a very basic one-room apartment that was cheeeeeeeeep and a block from Notre Dame.

 

Carol, thanks for the "hair" comment. I decided to just let it go curly about 2 years ago and have never looked back!

 

And ... hey! Are we down to 4 now? Or is someone lurking, lurking, lurking .....?

Speaking of hair (and I know you’re too polite to ask)…do you realize that it’s been over three years since the last ponytail update?

Really…you guys should have said something.

 

The Good:

The women at work really dig it.

The young men at work are scared of it.

The boss stares at it a lot (she wants me).

I get a lot of hits from the twenty- something scammers on dating sites.

 

The Bad:

My hair is very fine and pulls loose from the ties easily. (follicle malfunction)

I’m frequently followed by store security.

 

The Ugly:

Sometimes I look like a roadie for Van Halen.

 

Next Update:

July, 2015

We have to wait 3 years?

I'm sure you don't remember, but I also have a pony tail which I wear only for things of an athletic nature (e.g. karate or zumba).  I also have very fine hair, but it doesn't pull loose from the tie -- the tie just sort of slides down until it falls off completely.  The men in my karate studio don't dig my pony tail, but they are scared of it -- if you do a spinning kick, it whips around really fast and can take an eye out.

I have never been mistaken for a roadie for Van Halen.

Next update:

After Bmichael's

I, er, can wait forever ...

Ok M....

That's just fine...you're out of the loop.

(sounds like a classic case of pony tail envy to me)

            GLASSES UPDATE: Last Mother’s Day my son and dil bought me a new pair of reading glasses – the designer kind which costs too much. They have a saucy purple cat’s eye frame, and my dil made me a long chain with cool beads and silver links. Around the house I usually wear the old glasses on the gray shoe lace, so I don’t “ruin” the nice ones; the chain tends to come  unhooked quite often, the hooks of the silvery links coming loose from the eyes. And the chain sometimes snags on stuff.

 

            Recently I forgot I had the old ones on when I went over there to visit, and my granddaughter asked, “Where are the glasses me made for you, Grandma?”  (Oops!)

(PS: my hair slips out of a pony tail. .I gather it up with a clip)

            I have a third dog, now – free, as has been my luck with the other two. It’s a matter of dog custody not working out for some people. I don’t want to judge. The first two are smallish. This third one weighs 35 pounds already. as a 6-month bold female. She is supposed to be some kind of “blue” pit bull, but she isn’t scary, growly or mean, just one big wet tongue all over me. Too much energy for my old bones.  Someone offered to walk her every day, We’ll see how that goes….

Ok..so I’ve got my hands full and a very nice person steps over and holds the door open for me.

“Thanks!” I say.

“Not a problem,” he says.

What does that mean…’not a problem’? Could it be…was it ever… a problem? And if it was, how come it isn’t now?

They" all say that now. I guess it's supposed to translate into It was no trouble atall for me to do that for you. Don't like it though. Another annoying utteranceis "No worries," when you thank some one or apologize for inconveniencing them. Who is it who'sesupposed to be worry-free, you or them?

In answer to your question, Westerly, "I have no ideal. " (another one that drives me up the freakin' wall!)

 

 

Okay, how 'bout this one?

"How are you today?"

"I'm good."

Good at what?! And whatever happened to, "I'm fine, thank you, and how are you?"

!@#$$%^&!
