A Superb Owl by carrie photography


Mmm, self-refilling coffee.

It's not real fun until you're so dirty that mom can't tell you apart from a tuber.

Rubbernecking horses.

Pet wants cuddles.

Cat really wants that mouse.

Balloon baby heist.

So my idea for a viral video is that I'm going to put on a crappy alligator costume, then get into the alligator pond, and just f*** with them...

We're all in this very stupid thing together.

Some real Daredevil-level agility and balance.

I love owls because they are beautiful. And awesome predators. Killing machines.

But I hate them because they are in the size-range to eat cats. Especially old ones like mine. I moved recently, and heard an owl hooting the other night, and thought about finding a way to kill owls.

Sister of ZOD loved that song when it came out. On a family road-trip (she was young), she drew a picture of a girl calling 'Wildfire,' in colored pencil. The portrait had the girl's mouth open wide, with 'wildfire!' written next to her open, still curved mouth. Risible. Me first:
"It looks like she's yelling Waaaafaaaa."
"I know, right? Just an open mouth, going wah-faa!"
You can't draw movement. She was so pissed in the back seat of the Oldsmobile.

Younger sisters should be tormented early.

When we got Black Dog Three she was a puppy and would get out in the big back yard at night because she could fit through the small fence because she was so tiny. It would scare the crap out of me because we have huge owls that roam our neighborhood at night. They take full grown cats and she was a tiny little puppy at the time and they could have taken her in a second. I would stand out there with a flashlight until she would come back in the house.

1.) Adorable.

2.) Owls are way, way smarter than higher-flying raptors. Those things are basically just eyes and a stomach with a little nerve bundle to connect them. Owls are usually not stupid enough to claw or bite a human, even a small one (as long as bigger humans are near).

About 5 minutes later a guy and a couple came in and took their tables. Still no waiter and then the guy gets waited on and then the couple. I got up and left as the manager said sorry for the wait , someone will be with you in a minute. I pretended not to hear and kept walking out the door.

I've had it with cheap Chicom shit. I had some old rusted, rounded off bolts on a plow that I had to cut off. Used an air-powered cut-off tool that uses these 3" thin cutting wheels (like a grinder disc, but thinner).

Brand new one out of a pack I'd picked up at some damn auto parts place. Got one nut cut up enough to bang the bolt out, then went after another one.

The damn wheel flew apart. Had I not had my face shield on, I could've been in the ER had a piece hit my face just right.

This is nothing but cheap, defective Chicom shit, and somebody ought to be sued over this. They just don't care, and put this defective shit on the market now. I hate to say it, but the only way to fix that and make them care is to sue the shit out of them.

193 Yankee question: Are owls pretty common in the South? I would hear them from time to time in the Rocky Mountains, but never once saw one. I even saw a moose once, way out of his range. But I never saw a real owl outside of a barn.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at March 07, 2023 07:53 PM (oINRc)

There's a big barred owl that lives in a live oak tree across the street from me, hear it almost every night. Not as big as the great horned, the next size down, but still pretty big. Usually gives the same call, but when 2 or 3 get going together they get really raucous. sometimes almost sounding like a dog barking.

234 On hats... one time a Friend and I were flying to a yuge Sword fighting event in Pennsylvania... from San Francisco... we were going to be there for 10 days...

So swords in the travel case... clothes... OK... but everyone there camps onsite and dresses appropriately while there (think private Ren Faire with actual fighting events). Well, the one thing we couldn't figure out how to pack, were our Swashbuckler Hats... sooooooo.... after a few Capt. Morgans...

Told my friend, I'd fly in costume if he would.... so... we flew from San Fran Airport, in full on Swashbuckler costumes. Cracked me up because in San Fran, even when we were sitting in the bar waiting for our flight... no one would really look at us... but when we got one the plane and into Penn? People wanted pictures.

We later joked that in San Fran? they just thought we made a really cute couple.

236 Everyone has a different definition of what it means to "make it." For some people, it's a mansion and a Lambo. For me, it's a nice little house with a gas range. The gas range was always important to me. Mostly for it's utility. But partly because it's a luxury I could never afford before.

I know it's a small, silly thing. But if the US government ever tries to take it from me, it's gonna be headline news.

Normally though I wear a ball cap because it is easier to wash out after I sweat in it all day.

When I was working in an office I would wear an oxford shirt and slacks, and during Covid while I was one of the few working in office instead of at home, I would wear a suit jacket too. No ties, because I hate ties. I have a surprising number of sports jackets

266 I'm too young to have ever known a time when ties weren't a rarity in the workplace. Hell, even C-levels had mostly ditched them when I entered the workforce in the aftermath of 2008.

267 When I told my wife she looked cute in a baseball cap she thought I was making fun of her. Sad.

I'm old enough to remember when execs kept a bottle of bourbon in the desk drawer, everyone smoked, and the guys smacked the secretary on the rear end when she left the room.

It's a shame he didn't note if he'd had a particular plan for the gems. Any chance they were intended as a family "birthday stone" item for your mom or something?

At one point, I KNEW I was going to be 'downsized'... even though I was the senior trainer who had hired most of the others.... well... I spent those last 2 weeks wearing all my obnoxious ties.

Three Stooges? have 2. Loony Toons? Many. My last day? Marvin the Martian.... a la Paige... ie... Black Silk Marvin the Martian tie, Black Slacks, Black Silk Shirt... and this was when I still had my Long Grey Pony Tail, and Goatee (note, I'm 6 ft, 225 lbs, and have always been in fairly good shape).

The boss who was supposed to tell me I was 'let go'? Would not even meet with me...

278 It used to be that my favourite travel souvenir was a necktie representing the country I was visiting. For instance I have a tie with St Andrews Cross and another representing the pre-Colombian culture of Colombia.

280 By the way, Joel had a collection of 1 carat gems of all sorts, like 10-15 of them. I asked at the local jewelry store and they aren't interested. I have no idea what to do with them other than put them in a treasure chest and drink lots of rum
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 07, 2023 09:50 PM (0hOvj)


Go to a couple of coin shops, and try some of the watch repair places. A lot of them like to have stuff like that on the side. If nothing else they will give you an estimate of what they would pay for them.
Jewelry makers might be more interested in it than a retail shop, some of the chain places have their own jewelers and sources and don't have any ability to buy outside of their contracts.

281 Worth a shot. Unfortunately they don't have any paperwork showing authenticity, so I'd have to get them assessed, which probably costs more than they're worth

I do have a suit, but it's not a very good one. I'm just old (school) enough to think that one should wear a suit to job interviews. I'm apparently going to Europe on a serious business trip later in the year, and I need to find out more about the expected dress code and whether suits are going to be a thing. Answer's probably no, but best to make sure before embarrassing myself in a room full of corpo types.

I took the collar off of a number of my shirts because they got worn (One does not casually turn a Nordstrom or a Brooks Bros. shirt into dusters) and I like that they gave me an excuse not to wear a tie.

Tying ties is a wifely duty I never learned. John (late, first) Husband knew how, maybe he'd learned in scouts, and we just got Son clip-ons when he was little and needed one.

Nice.... I used to have a collection of money from whatever country I visited. Just small bills... but as a US Navy Retiree? it was a lot of countries.

'Disappeared' about the time I kicked the Ex wife out, but did not realize it was gone for a couple of years...

290 My suggestion for you all, if you need a sports jacket, go to Goodwill or St. Vinnies thrift shops. It will take a while, but you will find one you like that fits you. Also a tailor shop will modify a suit jacket that almost fits you to fit you like it was made for you far cheaper than buying one at Men's Wearhouse

It sounds cold, but really, dead men only need one suit, and the rest go for knockdown prices.

291 They take full grown cats and she was a tiny little puppy at the time and they could have taken her in a second. I would stand out there with a flashlight until she would come back in the house.

The Owl would have appreciated you illuminating the target, had it seen your puppy. I've noticed Owls perch on top of streetlamps to do do their hunting.

Maybe we can build on Nurse’s cruise idea and do a theme night where we wear something from an era that speaks to us!

Or we can talk about it a lot! 🤣

293 I am making $90 an hour working from home. i was greatly surprised at the same time as my neighbour advised me she changed into averaging $100 however I see the way it works now. I experience mass freedom now that I'm my non-public boss.
