The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Hmmm...???

My sister-in-law who is very wise and knowledgable about animals. suspected that her supposedly Habanese (looks more like a Shih Tzu (****su) was quite pregnant and she took her's to the vet (two different ones in fact) and several times, and they all said that is was just a "false pregnancy".

Several weeks later it produced eleven pups. ;)
Yes, Gracie had one false pregnancy a couple of years ago. This is it for her. If she is pregnant, then she will hopefully have a healthy litter. If not, then we will retire her to a life as a house pet. It's a "tough life", but it some of the doxies have to retire and relax. Here is Gracie with her mom, Daisy, resting on her.

Going to call it a night early once again. Hopefully, all will be feeling better by our TGIF Breakfast. Leave your special orders on the counter and I shall see what I can do tomorrow morning. Paix, mes amis.

Good Night All - sleep tight!

Tomorrow we will be having - Friday!

I would like a strong coffee in the morning, please Marc,
with all the rain I think we might also need an Ark - or at least a canoe ( I think I lost my paddle) .

Nighty-night
Morning, Bill. Strong coffee is now being brewed in your honor. A fine TGIF Breakfast shall come a bit later. Enjoy.

Morning, Kim. Hot java coming right up. How are you today?
 
#89,653 ·
Good Morning All - another fine rainy day - at least it's warmer - for the moment!

Thanks for the coffee Marc - for me, an essential starting fluid!

Have to eat & run this morning, too may things to do & too little time to do it.

I promised myself that when I "retire" I would take it easy, not rush, do things in a relaxed manner - yeah right!

TTFN folks

Morning, Bill. Yes, coffee is the "essential starting fluid" for me as well. I am making the same sort of promise for when I retire sometime in late 2014 ............. we shall see.

Don, great slow motion video clip of the piece of popcorn popping. The pole "dancing" clip was amazing.

How are you feeling this morning?

Morning all, check out the pole dancing video this morning on SAP. Still quite weak, but am off to see my GP this afternoon. I apparently had a serious infection with an abscess or cyst that has been troublesome for two weeks now that finally burst Wed, morning. It was responsible for many of my symptoms, so it will be examined today and likely will require antibiotics to clear the last of the infection. It likely had a great deal to do with my issues. I am marginally better since it burst, but it seems to recur every other year or so. Docs at nuclear clinic sent my back to my GP for treatment, so we shall see what happens, that is IF I can see him today. It may have to wait until Monday.

Afternoon, Don. That sounds worrying, but if you are feeling better, that is the key. Good luck with the antibiotics.
