Flexing my fingers...haven't typed in a few days at all.  Shame on me!  In my days of nothingness, I could have worked on some of my writing aside from being on SC scouring for company.

And yes, I have been kind of lonely missing you all, but it's been a self-imposed prison that I've put myself in.

So, what's up with me?  When you aren't doing anything worth talking about, then you hang up the phone. 

I guess I could start making prank calls.  That would be something to do at least.

Hey, what's your number?

No, really---I've just been doing so much of absolutely nothing at all that I will either have to come clean about why------ or make stuff up.

I didn't feel like doing either of those so I haven't been on the line.

(But don't answer the phone in the next five minutes!)

    The number you have called has been disconnected or is no longer in service.  If you wish to make a call, please hang up and call your operator or try again.....

  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Ha...the only thing on my porch is myself smoking in the cold, looking at the snow piles......
     
    Hope your truck will survive!  But glad your plate is full.  I am still washing my plate and looking for a place to stop.
     
    Be well, and thanks again!

    Hello Wombie......do we share the same calling plan? I hope so.

    My phone bills in these past months have been o-u-t-r-a-g-e-o-u-s.....

    But you can call me anytime....:-)

    We have been sleeveless and flip flopping and A/C-ing in the car these days.... oops.......sorry...
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    1. gingersoul:   Air should be free, you know......they are all ripping us off.   But anyway, nice to see you.  I was just joshing, though.  I won't call you and tell you your porch light is blinking on and off or anything.
     
    I am dreaming of sleeveless and crickets and thunderstorms like there was no tomorrow.......

    Hi, Wombie, it's nice to see you again.  I thought the snow might have done a job on your power or your computer. 
    We may actually get snow tomorrow here in southeast NC, at least it's been predicted.  One to three inches, maybe.  Everything is closed in anticipation.  I'll believe it when I see it....lol.
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Twylarants:  No, life has done a job on my power.  I have none anymore.  But hello, Twyla!  Shovel and survive.......that's the way lately.
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Wombie.....LOL......actually.......my balcony light is off by some time now...i should hve it replaced but i am too laizay to call the maintenance guy again......

    Last time he came here he was way too suspiciously luring at my tequila bottle....his name was Enrique after all....lol......i might write a post about it.......

    Hello Ms.Twyla....:-)
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    I wish I had a maintenance guy called Enrique.....
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    He has been very useful indeed......;-p

    I can send him to you.  With a bottle of Tequila.....all included.....lol...  
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    My phone number is.....and my number by my porch light is........
  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Hasta la something, Ms. Soul!  I want a pool boy named Paolo.  I want a pool first.
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....
    You made me remember days of yore......pool boy types of galore...............
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Twyllalee.....hey, many years ago I had a boyfriend named Paolo....we used to spend the night drinking iced gin tonic and dancing on the roof of a bar with a huge pool in it........

    I can call him and see what is he is up to....what's your number? Problem is.....it would be an international call......ready for that?

    Wombie......Enrique would be cheaper, i think....lol.......
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....

     

    ginger:  spent a few nights with a "Chris" on my porch.....broke the swing once......don't remember what we were drinking, but it must have been something.....I was in my forties, and he was, well.....slightly less than that!

    In this case, "Chris" was cheaper than Enrique.  I could toss him back, so might get a refund?

  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Ginger~  close enough!  Pack him up and ship him out.  I'll leave the light on for him.
  • wombat said on Jan 19, 2009....

    (Have fun for me)   PLEASE!

  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    This is all part of my plan, see?  I've decided to die when I'm about 89 or so.  I intend to win the lottery, buy a yacht, and die on my yacht in the Mediterranean sipping a Mai Tai while Paolo and the other pool boys cavort in their Speedos.
    Not a bad plan. huh? 
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Wombie.......perfect.....Enrique will fix the swing that Chris broke......ahhh......the circle of life.......never ceases to amaze me....lol...

    Twyllalou....he is already in route ......told him to look for a tall woman with a killer smile.......he just asked if its will be possible to substitute Mai Tai with chilled white wine, preferably Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio....i told him that this it's up to you.... 
  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Chardonnay works for me, although I'll have to wear heels to measure up to the description.  I can manage a killer smile as long as he doesn't think I'm sneering at him.  Grazie, Ms. Soul....you are too kind!
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Anything to make you smile, Twyla....:-)
  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Would he swing by and pick Wombat up on the way?  It's going to be 60 degrees here Thursday (so much for the snow!) and I think she could use a little sunshine.
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....
    But Twyla....ahemm.....that's why i arranged to send her Enrique....

    I am sure my boy will warm her up just fine....he and that tequila...i dont think our Wombie would mind that snow anymore .....lol.....,.
  • gingersoul said on Jan 19, 2009....

    Hope Wombie will not end up like this though.....LOL....
  • Twylarants said on Jan 19, 2009....
    Lol!  We'll hear about it on the Weather Channel...they'll refer to it as "The Great New England Snow Melt of 2009".  People will rush to liquor stores to stock up on tequila mix instead of buying rock salt!
  • MissMimi said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Hi Wombie, I've been missing you.  I do a whole lot of nothing too, so I understand.  It's good to see you pop in.  :)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 20, 2009....
    so it was YOU who called me from a restricted number last night!!! 
     
    I get the "nothing to report" thing, though obviously I don't let that stop me ;)  I'm special that way.  I'll make up news if there isn't any.  That's yet another special talent that the maker whoever he/she is entrusted to me.
  • botoni said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Wombie! We meet again! You are one of the major reasons I'm back here so get your ass on the porch and smoke for me! NOW! I've finally given that up but I still enjoy it when someone near and dear to me blows some at me so have it! While you're smoking and freezing your butt think fast and come up with something to say. Doesnt matter what you say. I just wanna hear from you. Dial me at ........................
  • wombat said on Jan 20, 2009....

    Sorry, I went to bed last night and missed out on the rest of that.....

    MissMimi:  Hi, to you!  I just kind of ducked into a corner and stayed hidden for awhile.  I may be in and out, who knows.  But it was kind of you to think of me.

    U-I:  Ha...well I could make up a bunch of stuff myself, but then I would have to remember my stories along with reality---and I can barely do the reality thing!

    botoni:  How sweet!  I read around and saw that you quit smoking?  Yea for you!  I feel like crap actually, and it's from smoking too much last night!  And yes, I was freezing my butt off going in and out.  Hope you are well and warm.  I will be in and out of here, maybe.  I'm in the twilight zone of life and don't know how to get out.

  • wombat said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Gingersoul!!!!!!  I just watched that and it made me smile and laugh for the first time in awhile!!!!  Oh lord, that cracked me up!  Thanks for the video!  I've had a few nights back in my day that were well...not quite that bad...but close!  Thanks again for the fun!
  • gingersoul said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Wombie....LOL...i know!
     
    I fell from my chair too.....good stuff......that guy is priceless......:-D 
     
    So.....is Enrique arrived yet?...;-P
  • wombat said on Jan 20, 2009....
    gingersoul:  Still smiling....but no, the only men I've seen today are Mr. W and the garbage man. 
  • gingersoul said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Hold on....maybe the snow is slowing down the delivery process.....
     
    I checked the overnigth express delivery box....darn it......
     
    But have faith...... and a glass ready (for the tequila)!  
  • wombat said on Jan 20, 2009....
    Well I'll go shave my legs and sit on the porch and wait....ha.
  • wombat said on Jan 21, 2009....
    Freezing my arse off on the porch waiting for Enrique, but it's been fun nonetheless.
