1. Well...these are purty

[u4ic]

23. Those are

very purty, hon! You've got great taste! :7

[billyskank]

24. Hi u4ic!

:hug:

[u4ic]

25. Hello sweetie!

How are you? :hug:

[billyskank]

29. Okay thanks

:loveya: How are you?

[u4ic]

39. Blech today

It's cold and rainy outside; has been for almost a week (turned right cold from 30c and sunny), and it's sort of affecting my mood today. I just want to crawl back into bed and wake up tomorrow...

At least it hasn't snowed yet! They revised the forecast, which of course means nothing. I had a dream I woke up and the drifts were 5 ft high. x(

:hug: :loveya:

[billyskank]

44. Awwwww

I'm sorry. :hug:


You should move to Britain. :loveya:

[u4ic]

49. Because, of course...

Britain is so bright and sunny and warm...:spray:

Thanks for the hug. The forecast is that the temps will go back to a more seasonal 10-15c; which means either it'll go down to -20 and snow, or back up to 30. :silly:

:hug::loveya:

[billyskank]

53. Sunny and warm is shit

Most people like the concept of sunny and warm, but when they actually get it all they do is bitch. "It's too hot!" Few people are genuinely happy in hot weather. If Americans really liked hot weather, why would they all be so dependent on air conditioning? People who REALLY live in hot places usually don't have AC. What I want is nice sensible weather that rarely gets too hot or too cold.

[u4ic]

66. I did say 'warm'

not hot.:-)

Up to 25c is great - just perfect, especially when it cools down at night which it tends to do here.

I've rarely known weather to be 'sensible'. On cue, anyway. ;-)

[mdmc]

61. pretty

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

10. Catcher's, too...HT said.

dreamcatcher! Very clever you are! :applause:

[u4ic]

30. Verrry stylish!

Hi, Seattle Girl! Haven't seen you round these parts for awhile! :loveya: :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

42. Hey, u4ic!

Been really busy with work this week, thank goodness. Hopefully that's a trend that will continue (my caseload has been in the basement for months x( ). Plus, I've been over in GD a lot, since it's officially Silly Season, and I'm trying to keep up with what's going on.

Good to see you! :loveya: :hug:

Underneath all that pollyanna domesticity, Marge Simpson is a total total babe!! :loveya:

Very exotic. :toast:

[In_The_Wind]

74. It's great seeing you again!

:loveya:

[swimboy]

59. Hi, Joani!

I'm sorry I've been so elusive lately. :shy:

I love the pitcher plant, I'm so glad you thought of it. My first thought was how sensual it was, and um, pendulous! The Venus Flytraps at the bottom of the photograph are a little threatening--made me want to check on my fly! :rofl:

It's great to see you. I expect to be around more next week!

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

75. Welcome back, Handsome!

Did you and mr. swim enjoy your vacation communing with nature?
I've missed you! :loveya:

[swimboy]

76. Good morning, Milady!

:hug: We did have a wonderful time. When I figure out how to size the photos we took for uploading on photobucket, I'll send you a few. We tried a couple and they take so long to upload. There are some wonderful pictures of mr. swim fly-fishing. I took most of the pictures so there aren't many of me, but we DID stop for photographs at this historical highway marker:



If you can believe that!!! :rofl:

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

77. I didn't know they taught that in schools.

[AirmensMom]

19. I would ...

but I don't have a pitcher. :cry:





:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[u4ic]

40. Pitcher or no pitcher,

you're welcome anytime, sweetie pie! (especially now that I've seen your arse...:rofl: )

Do you still have visitors? You must be beaming...y'all looked like you were having so much fun! That's got to stay with you for oh...a lifetime or more!

I'm so glad you're feeling better! :hug: :loveya:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Smallest Pitchers in the world.

[u4ic]

41. Those are so cute!

They look like they could only hold a teardrop or two! :D :hi:

38. my kind of Pitcher thread!

I just love his ummmmm form :)



:hi:

[u4ic]

45. auntieA!!

Your pitchers are always welcome!

Though this is an interesting one of him...



I've used the phrase "brown trousers time", but I never thought I'd actually see it in action! :rofl:

How are you, doll face! How's Ella? And how is Ashley doing? Is she 100% again? :hug: :loveya:

[auntAgonist]

48. ooh I LIKE that one too!

:evilgrin:

Ella is wonderful, I'm going to go see her next weekend :woohoo:

Ashley STILL has a visiting nurse once a day! Her incision is ALMOST healed, 5 months after she had a C-Section, infection etc. Poor girl. She is feeling quite well though. They are dealing with a lot of crap for being so young. I'm not sure what the outcome will be. I hope for the best but ... y'know.


No matter what happens I'm STILL Ella's (proud) Nana.

:hug:

How are things going with you?

:loveya:

aA

[u4ic]

51. I'm glad to hear

she's making a recovery, albeit a slow one. It must be very tough for the both of them...I always think the tough times just make you appreciate the good ones all the more once they roll around.

You have much to be proud of! Ella is completely and utterly adorable!

I'm catching up on my emails this weekend - expect one. :hug:

:loveya: :hi:

[auntAgonist]

55. I look forward to an update for sure .. tough times

do tend to make you stronger as you and I know. I'm not sure that's going to happen in their case though. I just hope they don't 'blow it' and throw away what could be a wonderful future for the three of them. (wishful thinking/hoping on my part).

:loveya:

thanks for asking about them... you truly are a good friend.


:hug:

47. Randy Johnson. as dangerous to songbirds as domesticated cats.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Johnson

In a freak accident on March 24, 2001, during the 7th inning of
a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Johnson
threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. After being struck
by the pitch, the bird went over catcher Rod Barajas' head and
landed amid a "sea of feathers." The official call was "no pitch."


During the 2001 World Series, (vs NYY)
a sign seen in the crowd:

"it takes more than nine yanks to beat a johnson"

[u4ic]

54. It looks like

he's trying to channel Babe Ruth in that first pic...

Ewww...I've never heard about that, but I'm glad I didn't see it. Poor bird. :(

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. My favorite

Pitching to Tony Oliva in the 1965 World Series.

[u4ic]

52. That's a GREAT pic!

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

57. It is, isn't it?

It's got the whole package — timing, composition, lighting.

And when you think that in 1965, photographers had to set everything themselves...

I think it was taken by an amateur, too, because there were spots and scratches on the negative. I Photoshopped™ out the spots, but you can see some of the scratches on Oliva's shirt.

:hi:

[speedoo]

64. That IS a classic photo.

It's even good that only Koufax is in focus.

Only problem I have with it is that the Dodgers and Giants broke a lot of hearts here in NYC when they went west.

Thanks!

[Guava Jelly]

56. ok a pitcher

Cindy Pitcher Miss Hartford 1971



Molly Pitcher


Legendary heroine’s story shows importance of the brave women who fought for America’s freedom

It was June 28, 1778, during the American Revolution, and the Battle of Monmouth was raging in New Jersey. The weather was hot, and the Continental soldiers were suffering from thirst and heat exhaustion.

It was a time for heroes — and heroines. And one of the most famous names from America’s War of Independence was Molly Pitcher.
