I've always liked Bill Murray, especially in "What About Bob", I love that movie! :floorlaugh: :skip: :happydance:
Anyway, I came across this by happenstance while looking up information on the Eagles 2015 tour. You know how that works, all those links to click, lol. So I ended up here: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture...ory-of-bill-murrays-offscreen-antics-20140612 Then decided to watch it on YouTube instead. Bill Murray singing House of the Rising Sun. Who would've thought. And he's actually pretty good. Now I'm gonna try to get a little more sleep. :sleep:

Need prayers for the loved ones still missing from the nasty storms/flooding we had on Mon. and Tues.
EASTERN Ky. is just devastated. :frown:
I live in central northern Ky. and although we did get a lot of rain and flooding, the majority of the worst weather moved eastward toward Lexington, (which is only 78 miles from me) and everywhere east from there.

Dmacky, I just saw this on GMA and I really hope everyone can get to higher ground safely. June and July here have been exceptionally rainy, which affects the beach goers and tourist industry here. Thunderstorms came rumbling through early this morning around 5 am and I woke up worried about our anxious dog. Hope you all stay dry and safe.

Feds: Terror suspect planned to kill college students, mimic Boston Marathon attack

"The 23-year-old son of a Boston police captain said he wanted to execute “sinful” college students in a massacre similar to the marathon bombings — and then broadcast the carnage over the Internet in a sick tribute to ISIS, federal prosecutors said yesterday.

Alexander Ciccolo is the estranged son of Boston police Capt. Robert Ciccolo, who turned his son in to authorities, a law enforcement official told bostonherald.com yesterday..."

A morning :facepalm:
-------------------------------------

Women's Restroom

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place.

Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.

You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants!

The dispenser for the modern "seat covers"(invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy,but empty .

You would hang your purse on the door hook,if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the floor ! ), yank down your pants, and assume "The Stance."

In this position your aging, toneless (God I should have gone to the gym!!!) thigh muscles begin to shake.

You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance".

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser.In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more.

You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday -the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time).That will have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It's still smaller than your thumbnail.

Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work.

The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest , and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet.

"Occupied!" you scream,as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny , crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT .

It is wet of course.

You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late . Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper -not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try.

You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain her bare bottomnevertouched a public toilet seat because, frankly,dear , "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get".

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes.

The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too .

At this point, you give up.. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat.

You're e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d.

You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket! and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.

You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, .....so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting.

You are no longer able to smile politely to them.

A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe.(Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this".

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men's restroom.

Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?" ...........

This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restrooms (rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse, and hand you Kleenex under the door!

I love that music video, Raindrops, Y/N !!! Thanks, and thank you also for the funnies!! :hilarious:

Dmacky, I did not know about missing people from those storms. I hope they are found safe. Please keep us posted. Hope your day goes well today.

Lots to do today. I will be back later on..... enjoy your day, all!!!!

 

[Bernina]

You raise a good point Bernina which I also agree with. It's not the same today as it was back then. And whatever people are buying, they really have no idea what they're getting.

Medicinal MJ has a real high THC level............

You can vape MJ, it's just a simple process of throwing some in a container with vegetable glycerin and/or propylene glycol uncovered and putting it in a water bath in a crock pot, slow cooking on med for about 12 hours, and squeezing the stuff in the container through a cheese cloth.
There's many who are doing this because the connection of lung cancer if one also smokes cigarettes, there's a better chance to get lung cancer when the 2 are combined, although just MJ hasn't been proven to cause it by itself...................and you might as well suck burning BBQ briquettes through a straw. :floorlaugh:
"Wax" is smoked with glass pipes, among other "things", just like opium or tar heroin.

There's always someone trying to make a better mousetrap.
I thought I'd go the medicinal MJ just because I'm tired of the artificial chemicals in my meds, but I don't want to be blotto on high levels of cannabinoids either. I like REALITY.
So it's the "unknowns" of pharmaceuticals or stoned to the bone MJ.

Medicinal MJ is tested for it's level of THC though, there is regulations in place.

And I really hate knowing as much as I do about drugs,:gaah:

 

[Bernina]

That is why you have a good dealer. I don't think weed is stronger than some from back then, unless you're buying some really good buds for pipes. I'very heard that Skycloud Kandy Pens are good Koff koff.

:floorlaugh:
Remember when it was just called "pot"?

 

[Hez]

As a side note, Harper Lee was a childhood friend of Truman Capote and based Boo Radley on him.

Actually it was the next door neighbour Dill that was based on Truman Capote. Truman Capote would visit his aunts every summer, who lived next to the Lee family. :seeya:

 

[Niner]

Hey all! :wave:

So much talk about pot! I have a medicinal prescription for MJ - for my eyes - retinal degeneration. And yes, the THC levels in today's pot IS stronger now a days since the 60s.

I was going to read "The Watchman", but want to read "To Kill a Mockingbird" again before I read that. I think I will.

I'm an "oldie but a goodie" person on songs! From the 50s and 60s for me!! :skip:

I guess the Holmes jury is now deliberating? I'll go over there and "see" what's going on. I believe the verdict will be read on Monday - the 3rd anniversary...

And now I can't watch my "Price is Right" as Obama is speaking about the Iran deal.... :gaah: WHY????!!!!!

Hope is well with everyone!! :yes:

Yes - it's a doll (Greyson) you can buy YESorNO.

Later! :seeya:

----------------------------------------

So many of us have been there. When you're standing in line do you think everyone is peeing too slow on purpose? or the ones that have several children in there with them peeing and it's the only one, and water (?) is standing on the floor. You really have to pee and think I'll just buy new shoes.


When dh and I were going to the Moody Blues concert in Ft. Worth over 50 miles away, I really had to pee, and we had to parked two blocks away, so by the time we reached the concert, I was hurting, so dh goes in the guys and I into the girls, and there is a line, so I'm waiting and waiting, I'm thinking why didn't I do Kegels exercises,and if you started then if it would help and finally it's my turn, so I go and grab the stall's door handle and it's stuck. I'm now holding on with both hands jerking the door when I noticed a little box next to the door that said 1 dime. You couldn't use the restroom unless you forked over a dime. So I thought I'll just wait until we're in Will Rodgers, came out and dh asked what took so long and I told him it cost a dime, he laughed and said you should of climbed under the door. I told him he better fork over a dime right then and there or it wasn't going to be pretty, and we'll be missing the concert.

DH claims that it's every mans God given right to pee outdoors.

BBM - That's exactly what I'm planning on doing.

Isn't "The Watchman" supposed to be before "to kill a mockingbird"??? I know she wrote it after BUT under impression it is a pre book if that makes sense

I just listened to an excellent show on medical marijuana on NPR:

http://www.npr.org/tags/131327322/medical-marijuana

It seems that it's the THC that causes the "high," and Cannabidiol (CBD) is what relieves the pain. Since a lot of people who are looking for pain relief don't want the high, they are producing strains with lower THC and higher levels of CBD.

[Niner]

zoey - from what I understand, Lee wrote "The Watchman" first - Scout all grown up. And the publisher I guess didn't like the story, so Lee wrote about Scout's growing up. So actually "The Watchman" would be after the "Mockingbird" story. Hope that makes sense?!! :waitasec: :lol:

Signing off for the day!

This is absolutely true! Perhaps individual experiences vary, but studies (chemical analyses) bear it out.
