I’m not gonna sugarcoat this.  I’ve had a really bad week.  From many different fronts.

Frankly, I’m pissed off at the world and just about everyone in it.  And I’m not in the mood to talk about it.

So at the very least, you’re not gonna have to read my ramblings this week.  You folks can count yourselves lucky there.

But a few very good men, whose names totally don’t rhyme with, BallsofSteelandFury, Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and Rikki-Tikki-Deadly ….  Well, I guess the best way to say it is that they talked me down and/or called me out on my bullshit, respectively.

Life has kinda stunk more often than not for me lately.  There are reasons for that, but again I’m not in the mood to talk about it.  Admittedly, some days, I don’t handle it as well as I might wish.

But when you have friends who care?  Good people who genuinely care and who will expend their time because they’re concerned about you?  Friends who are willing to tell you what you NEED to hear, instead of just what you WANT to hear?  Even if it’s just by being honest with you and telling you you’re being an asshole when you’re being an asshole?  You see where I’m going here?

That’s a pretty good deal.  That’s tough to beat.  I count myself lucky there.  I’ll take it.

(thank you, gentlemen….sincerely)

Drippy Drippy

Anywhoooooo….

FWIW, this week’s theme was Low Commander’s suggestion as well.  And it was a good one.  I think he must have seen this girl and… welllllll…..yeah….

Sexy Ice Cream is this week’s theme.

More on that in just a bit.  For now, you’ll have to wait.

At Least One Thing Went Well This Week

(aka your tWBS weed growing update for the week)

Would you lookit that little bastard right there?  I’m quite proud of myself here.  Those little squiggly white things at the top is a developing bud.

I can’t believe this plant recovered.  It literally got too top heavy and fell over on its side.  I thought the main stem was broken and that it was a goner.  I then stole some of my mother’s knitting needles (please don’t tell her) and staked them down and used them to prop it up.  And then it went batshit crazy the last coupla weeks as far as growth and flowering.

There are eight more buds (most out of frame) which are also flowering.  For now, they’re all very small and nothing to brag about.  But I might be able to harvest some and smoke it by Christmas.

Come on down that chimney, Santa.  I got you covered up in here.

DUDE?????????

OK, well please don’t call the cops and report me or I’ll have to kill his jolly fat ass.

And yes, I’m still waiting on that Colecovision system I asked for from 1982, you damned lying prick.

(I could have saved sooooooo many quarters if Santa hadn’t screwed me over)

This Week in DFO

I’m lazy this week so I’m not gonna do a full rundown.  And besides, it’s no contest this week.  Everyone did great work this week, don’t get me wrong.  We have about the best team of writers I could ever imagine having.

(although sometimes our judgement is questionable….maybe)

However….

As usual, BeerGuyRob  anchored many of the week’s open threads.  But he also did this, and this, and this, and this, and this.

BeerCanBobby  is Employee of the Week this week, far and away.

Plus, perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps not, he’s also now the newest co-owner of DFO, too!!!

And that’s a good thing.  A really good thing.
