Dear Austinites,

Bring your Wii controllers. Ash, can you bring Wii Resort? I don't have that. :)

Well, at least she won't be bowling/playing baseball/golfing like Ebon does.

Tennis. That's the best one. I like the bowling but tennis is better.

So. Austinites.

There is a slight possibility that I will be in town around the last weekend of August. Slight. It will be probably be a quick trip (unless we're having a heat wave in the PNW and then I might stay since y'all have A/C and all) but I think I can carve out a few hours for brisket, sonic or tex-mex. Or all three at once. Raise your hand if you'd like to join me.

I should know for sure in the next couple of weeks. If the August trip doesn't happen, I will be there early next spring for sure.

Arwen and Szygzy,

Thanks for having us over. I had fun and almost passed out laughing. Princess vinegar is cute but she almost killed me. I hope Flynn feels better soon. It was nice to see Goof and Blush and little blush. Maryoosa it was nice to meet you! I like a person with a good handshake. I hope you enjoy your stay in Austin!

It was really great not to see you guys again. I like it when you laugh so hard you can't breathe. Teh cat thing? Not so much...

Did I tell you how cute your outfit was? Tuesday lunch! :)

There is pie left, Wil. There won't be later. Your breakfast idea is STELLAR! I tried to hide the pies but they forced me to share. Rat Bastids!

Arwen, thank you so much!! Was great to meet everyone!

I like you! I asked Szygzy if we could keep you. :)

Arwen and Szygzy... thanks for having me over. Sorry I had to leave, it was either hang around or breathe, it was a tough choice..lol.



Szygzy says to tell you that breathing is overrated. Good to see you and thanks again for the GROOVY housewarming gift.

To all my cat-allergic friends...sorry! I love that you come by but I hate that you can't breathe when you leave.

This is what happens when that damned Glyneice goes out of town. No Glynncamole. No Hooker wine. No Wii.

I'm sure we can have fun.

Hey I know! We can play "Pin The Dreads On Ebon".

Can someone pick up some heavy duty thumb tacks? :|


I was just thinking about Ebon's dreads and thinking it would be fun to see them on him again. And we could make up all KINDS of games involving them.

Well, at least she won't be bowling/playing baseball/golfing like Ebon does.

What, not networked into group Frisbee golf like the Beauhunk and some other butches I don't feel like naming?

there might be some Frisbee golf widows in Austin. In return, I'm working on starting a club to create some wine widowers. Any takers?

Hey BVD-O (not to be confused with the guy who loves his BVDs), there are a couple day care places there too:
Taurus has a day care at McNeil and Hwy 183, which is just a couple miles from the Arboretum. I used to take my dogs there when I worked in that area.
http://www.taurusdogtraining.com/

My personal favorite place is Mud Puppies - they're a little further north (about 15 minutes from the Arboretum). I take my dogs there now. (oh and they're gay-owned)
http://www.mud-puppies.com/

Both are about $25 for a day of day care (I get multi-dog frequent visitor discount packs so I'm not sure of the street price), but you have to fill out the application before dropping them off (applications are on their sites). You can drop off as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6:45 (Mud Puppies) or 7:30 (Taurus).

Maybe South Hooker will just have to ring the doorbell. This is a pretty dangerous neighborhood to leave Szygysksxyzwqs's "stuff" all out in the open. Well...just in case I'm delivering dogs when you come by...I'll leave out as a backup plan (but be sure you don't say hi. I won't talk to you anyway).

Now everybody has ideas about what the "stuff" is. That was my intention. Use your imaginations, potty-brains. hee hee hee

Well...just in case I'm delivering dogs when you come by...I'll leave out as a backup plan (but be sure you don't say hi. I won't talk to you anyway).

Now everybody has ideas about what the "stuff" is. That was my intention. Use your imaginations, potty-brains. hee hee hee

Well I'll tell you, I wish he'd hang on to his stuff a little better. Having to go up there and actually see you is bad enough, but then I have to drive to the Falls to drop it off.

Now where we meet up at!?!

Where is everyone's favorite spot? It's been a long while since I've been in Austin, I will have to look up some places.


My dog runner is http://www.austindogrunners.com Her name is Jami Eng. Her number is (512) 633-169. They walk or run and I absolutely swear by them. My runner is Anthony but I don't know who would be up in your area. I adore them. :) They know me as Arwen. :)

Thank you for the info Arwen. I'm going to call her this morning!

Hey BVD-O (not to be confused with the guy who loves his BVDs), there are a couple day care places there too:
Taurus has a day care at McNeil and Hwy 183, which is just a couple miles from the Arboretum. I used to take my dogs there when I worked in that area.
http://www.taurusdogtraining.com/

My personal favorite place is Mud Puppies - they're a little further north (about 15 minutes from the Arboretum). I take my dogs there now. (oh and they're gay-owned)
http://www.mud-puppies.com/

Both are about $25 for a day of day care (I get multi-dog frequent visitor discount packs so I'm not sure of the street price), but you have to fill out the application before dropping them off (applications are on their sites). You can drop off as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6:45 (Mud Puppies) or 7:30 (Taurus).


Cool... Thank you Puplove! I will check them out too!

Tuesday Dinner with Blue_Vegan_Daddy-O

I parused the choices for dinner looking for a place that a redneck like Blue_Vegan_Daddy-O and a vegan like me would both find ample choices. Thank god we live in Austin because there are such places!!! And I found a place that will give us the "Austin experience"! I tried to find a centrally located establishment, but alas location gave way to parking and cuisine

Drum roll please....

Kerby Lane - Northwest (http://www.kerbeylanecafe.com/menu)

I figured 7ish that would allow folks time to get off work and negotiate traffic...ect but still be home at a resonable hour if need be.

In summation.....

Who: Y'all

Where:13435 Hwy 183 N Ste. 415 Austin, TX 78750 512-258-7757

Yeah. Thought so.

All right, here's the official announcement and oh-so-important details.

Sunday, July 3
For maximum swim time, come on over starting at 2

Now some white font to be all patriotic and shit. :usa:

We'll grill and stuff so we can eat about 5-ish, that's up to the Beauhunk.
Oh, but don't worry about going hungry before or after dinner. For a change, we might have some food to nosh on.

Bring your drinks -- and speak up fast if you need a place to stay, ya lushes. One spot's already taken by that east Texas hoodlum and friend.

Any other out-of-towners wanna come?? Hmmm??? We gots room. And fun. The Beauhunk will make biscuits and gravy for breakfast, or watch Durr make them, which I hear might be entertaining (you think I'm up in time for breakfast?).

Oh yeah, will you let me/Oiler know if you're coming so the Oiley Beauhunk can count out the paper plates and silverware?

Seriously though, please count me in. I can't wait! I miss you all so much! I know I just saw y'all at my party but I felt so busy...i don't know how y'all host parties all the time! Maybe because it was my first? Next time it'll be smaller and I'll have the games out!

Any other out-of-towners wanna come?? Hmmm??? We gots room. And fun. The Beauhunk will make biscuits and gravy for breakfast, or watch Durr make them, which I hear might be entertaining (you think I'm up in time for breakfast?).

Oh yeah, will you let me/Oiler know if you're coming so the Oiley Beauhunk can count out the paper plates and silverware?

This, I can actually make.

:blink:

Ebon says if'n he doesn't have to work at 7 in the morning, we can ask to stay the night (and I can have a much needed drink!).

Thank you everyone for sending your caring thoughts, love and hugs. It does mean a lot to me. And thank you to everyone who came out and gave me hugs and love in person on Tuesday! It was wonderful spending time with all of you too! You do feel like family! All of you! :)

Last night Babygirl and I had some one on one time (my other puppy dog) went and watched the bats (so amazingly beautiful, what an amazing experience) and then sat at an outdoor cafe on 6th street and chilled. Babygirl easedropped on others conversations and got lots of love while I had dinner..LoL

Tonight we - Diva, PupLove, Oiler, Gemme, Ebon, Ashton and me and I don't know who else are planning to go to the Oasis tonight, so for who all wants to go, let us know! I know Arwen can't tonight! I will miss you! I want to keep you too! :) And I will be bringing my girl next time! You all will love her!

BIG sized TEXAS HUGS to everyone!!!!!

Had a great time, music was good we had good seats although I had to make a few adjustments when unthinking idiots try to mess it up. 1st idiot moved the umbrella shading me because it blocked his view...he put it back. @nd idiots pulled up their chairs and parked em right in front of us blocking our view and I politely asked them to move. Second half of the show it was hard to see the bad for the dancers but that was kinda of enjoyable too, since most of them were children. Thursday is a great Cuban Jazz band 6-9pm come on out!!

I'm wondering ~ this is off the top of my head here ~ if there are some of us who might be willing to provide a meal for Candace and her Mom when she returns.

The plan right now is to bring her Mom back with her for a couple of weeks. I thought it might be helpful to her......so that she wouldn't have to worry about this, nor would her roomies be shouldered with it, either.

I'll keep You posted in any event....

As I know more about arrangements, I'll keep Y'all posted. She did have a breath to post a little on FB....she might be feeling a little overwhelmed. The "business end" of death is a different type of overwhelmed, to be sure.

Meals will start when they get back, clearly. And will try to coordinate all of this before I leave in a week.

Durrrr...to address Your suggestion....Candace loves pizza! Maybe You could send her a Papa John's pizza (spicy Italian sausage & yellow banana peppers is a favorite of hers) and some Honey Chipotle wings from way over there....from a PJ's close to her, of course! ;)

All right, here's the official announcement and oh-so-important details.

Sunday, July 3
For maximum swim time, come on over starting at 2

Now some white font to be all patriotic and shit. :usa:

We'll grill and stuff so we can eat about 5-ish, that's up to the Beauhunk.

Drag out those peddle-pushers.

Turn your calendars back to 1955 and join us for a fun fundraiser.

Austin has a tradition of giving to others as much as we give to ourselves. I thought it would be fun to do something for one of our own.

We are going to be raising money for books for some Austin students.

I'll have more details but start putting away your loose change but not your loose women.

We will have food and games all in the spirit of the 50's so get ready to get your Fonz on!

Candace Information

Just talked to Candace and she sounded tired, but at peace. The funeral was this morning and she said it was lovely and sweet and their congregation was so caring.

I have set up the Care Calendar for 10 days. There is no rule that says You can't continue if You wish. But the calendar is set up for 10 days.

So here's the info to get in:

www.carecalendar.org/logon79681
Calendar ID ~ 79681
Security Code ~ Please PM me if I don't PM You first with this info. Since Candace's addy is on the calendar, I didn't feel I should make this available for the public eye.

Please read the special instructions when planning Your meals.

Thanks to all of You who can participate in this. It will help Candace so much, especially this weekend, since she has to work all weekend.

I'm interrupting with just one more note for Sunday...

If you're thinking "I really want to bring something" and haven't talked to part of PupOil about it already, you're welcome to bring a sweet treat OR a vegetable of some sort (beans and potatoes are not vegetables, Oiley).

It looks like there'll be 15-18 people whooping it up. Well, all 18 probably won't actually "whoop it up."
But, you don't have to bring something, except your drink unless you can make do with the iced tea the Beauhunk will probably get.

I have my orders.
Syzygy will be here tomorrow.
KC will be along...maybe. He may have something gayer than a pool party in CP. :)
I've had a really rough week at work. I need some friends, some pool and some Jack.

Candace Information

Just talked to Candace and she sounded tired, but at peace. The funeral was this morning and she said it was lovely and sweet and their congregation was so caring.

I have set up the Care Calendar for 10 days. There is no rule that says You can't continue if You wish. But the calendar is set up for 10 days.

So here's the info to get in:

www.carecalendar.org/logon79681
Calendar ID ~ 79681
Security Code ~ Please PM me if I don't PM You first with this info. Since Candace's addy is on the calendar, I didn't feel I should make this available for the public eye.

Please read the special instructions when planning Your meals.

Thanks to all of You who can participate in this. It will help Candace so much, especially this weekend, since she has to work all weekend.

Thanks once again for opening up Your home to all of us! What a great evening! I had a great time! Just doesn't get much better than Apples-to-Apples........:heartbeat:

Conner, I hope You're feeling better soon!

When we got to Chez Diva, there were 2 armadillos digging for snacks.....Ambrosia had never seen one and immediately ran up to them. They were big buddies and one of them stood on his hind legs! (I've seen a lot of 'dillos in my day and I've never seen one do that! lol) It was a kick to see her excitement!

I guess I'm gonna have to name them, TOO! ;)

Thanks again, Glynnise!

I met him too, but he was working in Kentucky then. But I suppose he could have moved in the last 20 (or so) years.

It was great seeing everyone yesterday and meeting Wismi! Thanks for the well wishes y'all. Its still giving me trouble, but at least I can walk upright now. I'm still bummed that my back went out before I could steal the puppy.

It was also great meeting the younguns that were there too. And did I mention the puppy?

Syzygy kicked my butt at canoeing but I got him in table tennis. HA

We had fun in San Antonio. A bit warm but I enjoyed the Alamo because I got to collect a cool psychic story from one of the re-enactors there. Totally random and he had no idea about what I do. :)

Now watching Killers on Netflix.

Tomorrow is my day off again! Third in a row. Whooo Hooo! So I am going to get my hair done.

I am always so slow at posting stuff....just move at turtle speed I guess. It was wonderful to meet so many awesome people in one terrific weekend!! I had a GREAT time and felt so WELCOMED....It was really touching.

Glenn and Denise thank you for opening your home to us (me) and letting me pitch in a little. You are definitely the hosts with the most!

I loved all the food, fun, LAUGHS, company, conversation and doggies!!!!

Looking forward to the next visit for sure :)

I will post a few of the pictures I took later...but I have many so if anyone would like a set or any in particular PM me and I will send them to you.

It's been a great weekend albeit a bit stressful here and there with the whole fam damily in town. They loved Austin. My nearly 10 yr old niece has decided she will be my roommate when she comes to UT.

HOOK 'EM!

Austin and Texas in general. I need a good car. I am going to be buying used. I have a finite amount I can spend.

I'm looking for 2004+ but would go back to 2002 if the miles and make were right. I'm checking every thing against Consumer Reports Dot Org.

I've been on CL a LOT since Friday. Car must have a clean title. You wouldn't believe the number of ads I called who told me they had salvage titles. :|

So, if you know someone who's got a car for sale, let me know? :)
