Glass And Stone (late WWC)

Happy Hump day everybody... I trust your Wednesdays are going well. As promised, here is my WWC entry for this week. The WWC, is brought to us by The very glassy Classy Tink of Pickled Beef. This week's words, as you can see were "Glass" and "Stone".

I'm keeping with my slide show method, which seems to be working out rather well. You must have guessed that with one of the keywords being "Stone" that it would take me back to Historic Elmwood Cemetery once more. I have so many photos from there already, but I took this batch specifically for WWC... Hope you like.

Better late than never I say. :)

Wicked cool "monument" series, especially the final one.

I really enjoyed all your photos.

I know this is going to sound wrong, but I love graveyards. Hoop's and my first kiss was in a graveyard, right next to a row of 200 year old markers for Catholic nuns. All of your pictures were stunning, but the first was by far the best. I love the moodiness of the sky. Beautiful!

I love the gravestone and monument photos! They are unbelievably beautiful. Just stunning.
Oh and I didn't mean to sound like I didn't like my own photos, because I did. Just noting how different everyone's interpretations were. This is my first WWC and I am hooked, both viewing all the others and doing my own.

Very nice! Cemeteries are fascinating places.
I really ought to learn how to do the slideshow-thingy. I hated having to limit my photos!

g-man thanks! I love the monuments in that place.

Jay! Definitely, that is a very cool cemetery and I think you'd love it.

Tink! No, I feel you on that, I like them for some reason too. That's cool-first kiss, graveyard... :) And Thanks!

Karen! Thank you. And yes, it is addicting isn't it?

kc! Yes, cool and the slideshow on Picassa is easy, you just grab the code they do it all for you basically, then paste it right in your post.

Reb! Thanks! Glad you stopped by.

Cool post - I like the Picassa slideshow as well. At the office now, so I can actually watch one!! My home "dump heap computer" would take 2 days to load one of these.

You really like that cemetary!! Hope you had a happy hump day Jackie.

I want to be cremated, taking up space on this planet is for the living, not dead bodies. Actually I think it would be cool to be chopped up in a big blender and poured out in the spiritual park, returned to nature.

Being retired I don't think of Wednesday as being hump day, it's just laundry day here at Polly's Honky Tonk Saloon and Whorehouse.

And I had a tooth pulled, that was cool, glad to have it gone.

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
