A New Dragon

Something simple on Anything at Anytime today.

I started Playing a cheesy free game on Facebook called "Dragons of Atlantis".


Hey, by now if you haven't figured out I LOVE Dragons, I don't know what to say.

It is a time consuming game but since I get to "Grow UP" my Own Dragon, well, I couldn't pass it up.

I figured I would post the Pictures I have taken of him so far as he Grows.

So, without further ado:  Strike Fang

I started with nothing
When I could afford it I got Strike Fang's Egg

Cute little fella after he hatched
only problem was he liked to chase the Squirrels around

With all the Feedings and care
he rapidly grew into a Teen 

Now he has Grown into a "GREAT Dragon"
He still has a bit of Growing to do
and I need to Train him to wear his Battle Armor
but that will all come with time.

I hope He enjoys all the other Dragons that will be around him here and all of those that I will continue to bring in?
He does have a little bit of Attitude and He still likes chasing after Squirrels, just more of a Problem now as He is so much bigger and his tail tends to take out parts of buildings when he is running after them.

His Pictures will soon be going up on the Dragon and Books page
Hope your Weekend is Good!

A Change of Plans

Well, It doesn't Look like you all left Anything at Anytime after yesterday's Tirade.

Thanks for the responses I got from you all.
(and that is all I am going to say about that or I will get on another Rip Roaring Tear (don't want that))

I did have Plans for Today's Post; however, they got side tracked by Mynx over at Dribble..... .

I got back from Dropping the Girls off at School and checked my email, messages and comments and was told I needed to make a mad Dash over to Dribble.... so that I could get my "Goodies" before they went bad.

Lo and Behold:
Anything at Anytime has been Honored to Receive the PAV!!!!  aka: The Irresistibly Sweet Award

An Award she Created Back in November and has been Sparsely given out.
(see her guidelines here:  Mynx's Awards)

Now having Received this award it is to be Portioned out in Moderation -- Not just Freely Thrown about like the latest Cosmopolitan or ESPN magazine you just got in the mail.

I am to find 3 Blogs that I Find "Irresistible" that I can't help myself but go Running to when I see them up.  That is already harder to do because Mynx's Dribble.... is one of those sites and I am not going to give it back to her and treat the Award like a Tennis ball in a Tennis Match...... That Just wouldn't BE RIGHT!

So those will come Later as I contemplate which Blogs shall receive this AWESOME Award!

Next:  I am to divulge 5 Guilty Pleasures ---- Hmmmmm ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

These are GUILTY PLEASURES 

(Besides Mynx thinks I am "Cheeky" - My Wife KNOWS I AM)

1.  Strawberries and Raspberries -- Love 'em, if I see them on a Dessert I have to have some. mmmmmmmm

2.  Legs in Stockings, Garter and Heels (nice heels, not the kind that make a woman look uncomfortable wearing them), They just make a Woman LOOK SEXY - and No, I am NOT being SEXIST

3.  Teasing My Wife in that way - You know - that way that says "I always WANT YOU!" (a pinch, tickle or Tease {got that from my GranPa W.}) without being obscene.

4.  Bums.  YES, BUMS  - have you ever noticed how a Nice Shaped Bum on a Woman looks like an upside down Heart?  You haven't?  Well, take a peek sometime - they really do!

BEST for LAST  -  I am one of those that If I KNOW I REALLY Enjoy something, I save it for LAST so I can Remember it Longer (sort of Savor it).

5.  I could suffer HELL a thousand times over just to See my Girls (J,D, and E) HAPPY.  When they are HAPPY, NOTHING can go wrong.  Their Happiness is MY BEST GUILTY PLEASURE!

So, My GUILTY PLEASURES  -  Open to the World.

If you stop by Mynx's Site to see what she had to say about my blog......
In my Own Defense,
I don't look that bad in a Pink Dress (LOL)
(Yes, there is a Picture on this site of me in a Pink Dress But I will not tell - You must find it on Your OWN!).

Hope you all have a Great Weekend!

A Haunted Car??? and I Don't Know about You...... But???

Anything at Anytime has a real life laugher and a "You got to be Kidding!" that happened Yesterday.

Yesterday was J's first day back to school and it was an in-service day without the kids.
She gave me a call about 3 O'clock to tell me that I should be up there around 3:30PM to pick her up and we could run the errands we had to once I got her.

Not a Problem.

As I was walking out the door my cell phone started to buzz and I checked it out, and Damned if I forgot to charge the phone and it was shutting down.

Again, Not a Problem.  I grabbed E's phone since I was leaving the Girls at home and jumped in the car and headed out.

Picked J up about 10 minutes later and we headed off to Walmart.

As we headed to Walmart I made a left turn and J ask "What's that noise?"

*Ugh OH*
clack, clack pause clack clack pause clack clack pause (imagine two pieces of Plastic tapping together, that sound)
over a 2 minute period.

I have no idea, not my blinker, no vibration in my steering column just that repeated sound.

Then it just Stopped.
NO Clue what it was.

A couple minutes later I make another Left turn and there goes that sound again!

clack, clack pause clack clack pause clack clack
again for 2 minutes then it just Stopped.

By Now I am beginning to wonder what the *#LL is going on with my car.
I like to say I am a "Jack of all Trades" but I have never heard a sound like that coming from a car.  It just befuddled the mind to try and think of what could make that sound.

I was beginning to wonder if somehow, someway my Car became HAUNTED?!?!?

We got to Walmart with No further instances and we get out and go in to start grabbing the stuff we needed.

I reached up to a shelf to grab something and.........

*wait for it*
Clack Clack pause Clack Clack pause Clack Clack pause

Holy Rat Hairs!!!!

It's happening in the store!!!!!!

What the ........????

I practically jumped back from the shelf and J's like what happened and I say "Listen"....... Her Eyes got that questioning look then reached into my jacket and pulled out E's Cell Phone.

E had her alarm set on her cell and with the weirdest Alarm sound I have Ever Heard.


*******

Now still at Walmart after the "Haunted" Phone incident....

J had to go.  You know it never fails.  When you get somewhere and you are in a touch of a hurry (just wanting to get in and immediately out of the store), you gots to GO.

Anyway, we found our way to the Restrooms and I am waiting out there for her and I see this display right outside the Bathrooms:

Can't make out what it is?  That's fine: Here is a Closer look

Now I don't know about you..... but I come out of a Bathroom -- The Last thing I am thinking about is MELTED CHOCOLATE for Fondue.

In all my years in Sales and Marketing - That has to be the WORST Placement of a Display!
Get Real Walmart!

Semi-Boxing Day, Videos and Kindles, Huhhhhhh?

Anything at Anytime hope all of you had a Merry Christmas or a Great Whatever you celebrate at this time of year.

I didn't make any posts yesterday; however, I did do some fiddling around.
I played around a bit on here with a few things and cleaned up and improved a touch.
I guess you could say I did a bit of the traditional English Boxing Day thing Christmas afternoon and evening.

If you will notice - in the page bar above there are a couple of changes - I combined the "Blogs I Like" and "Blog Directories" tabs to create "Blogs I Like and Directories", also made some Clickable thumb pictures of the Blogs I Like.  It took a little playing with the the Windows "Paint" program but got it and think it came out pretty good for all.

Also above in the page bar you will notice a "Videos" Page.

Now, If you go into the New Video Page I have up my first effort and I hope it is not that lame.  Improvements will come.  I promise.

I got the program called "Video Spin" as a free download and after a couple of hours of total screw ups on my behalf, as I have never worked with programs like this, I finally got it and it worked out pretty good for a first "Production".  :)

If you are interested and want to get the program for yourself to try click the link above and then click the blue tab on the middle right of the page.  Quick download doesn't take long and you will be up and running with it in a few minutes.

After that I started doing some basic surfing and got to Youtube and decide to register there and put my first attempt up there.  If you would like to follow there (made it easy for all to find) the link is - Anything at Anytime Videos.



Enough of what mucking around I did Yesterday.

Christmas was good and Our girls are the first in the family to get Kindles.

Those things are AWESOME and Amazon has availability to download THOUSANDS (yes, THOUSANDS) of FREE Downloadable books.

I got online and registered both units in a matter of maybe 5 minutes.  Found them several books:  "Dracula", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Odyssey", the "Illiad", "Gilligan's Travels", Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works, and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".  ALL FREE!

That was just the tip of the Iceberg of what is available.

While I was registering the Kindles for the girls they were charging them up.  It did not take long to charge them up.  Once they were charged I collected them and drove down to McDonalds that has free Wi-Fi connected them both to the server and was back home about 10 minutes later.  Not even enough time to finish my coffee.

So, My daughters are the first to go, what I refer to them as, GREEN BOOKs.  No trees harmed in the making of good, what am I saying, Great Literature.

J and I are trying to figure it into our budget come Feb. or March to get us each one.  Then slowly replace our Library in the Kindles.

Oh, you don't know how much storage space they have, silly of me not to mention it.  You can store up to 1500 books in a Kindle.  That means a Ton of extra space around a house full of books.

Sorry for my Ravings.  We have known they were getting these for a little while.  Every since I registered Anything at Anytime for Kindle publishing I have wanted one and as DAD, I get to play around with theirs and see what it is about.

At this Point I would have to say it has an "A" for a score.
The ease of registration, finding and "Ordering" books/downloads, Quickness of charge, and how fast it downloads orders when connected to the Wi-Fi;  All get "A"s.

As time goes on, I will tell you more but so far AWESOME!

Any AWESOME gifts under your tree this year?

Danny

My Letter to Santa

Anything at Anytime Update: I have since posted another "Letter" titled:

A Prayer - or - My "REAL" Letter to Santa 

Anything at Anytime is going to get into the Christmas Wish List thing Today.

Christmas Wish List?  This Early!?

Yeah!

You see my birthday is coming up soon and I always seem to get the short end of the stick.  Well, Not just myself but everyone that has a birthday at or just after the holidays does.  Seems everyone thinks "Oh, I can combine the Birthday Gift with their Christmas and only have to worry about them once that way."

So, Those of us that have birthdays on this end of the Calendar, we tend to get the short end of the stick.

I Figure with all of the Techie Junk out here in the world that Santa has some of his Elves surfing the Net and looking around the Blogs to see what People are interested in and want for Christmas.  You have to figure that Santa has most if not all of his Production lines automated by now and the Elves need something to do.  

Come on - Really - what do you think this World would come to if we had a bunch of Elves with nothing to do running about?

On to the Christmas Wish List -  

Dear Santa,

I know you are a busy man and have many request coming your way at all times but I was hoping to get this one out there to you before the Rush in about 2 weeks.  

I have been wondering what I would want for my Birthday or Christmas.  I came up with some of the usual things such as:

- New Lungs - so that I can breather better and get back to work.;

- A Time Machine so that I can go back in the Past and Kick my Ass before I ever Picked up that first Pack of cigarettes.

(I know those two aren't going to happen Anytime Soon so ........)

Getting to possibilities:  Well, there are a few things I would want for myself but those are just time occupying items that are truly in a weird way superficial (not that I wouldn't want them, but don't really need them).

My real desires for Christmas:

- Improve my writing skills and imagination to a point that I could write a "Block Buster" that would set my family up with funds even when I am long gone.

- A Home for the Family - Found one that we like and it would take fixing up from me a little at a time as my health permitted, but I could fix it up as J and the girls like.  Would provide me with peace of mind that they don't have to worry about that if anything should happen to me.  Then again that is Money and Money doesn't grow on trees and I know you don't print that up there.

- Peace of Mind for my Wife so that she doesn't worry about everything all of the time - I know she doesn't tell me all as she doesn't want to Stress me - but if you could give her that, that would be a boon and a Godsend all in one.

(Again a tad out of your reach I know but it never hurts to ask, the worst you can say is "No" - everything else is adverbs and adjectives.) 

More realistic yet still out there:  LOL

- A telescope (a Good Telescope) with capabilities to be connected to my computer.  

- A PS3 with NCAA 2011 College Football game (gots to have my college football even in the off season)

- the ability/means to take my Wife and Girls on a real vacation

- A new Wardrobe for my Wife as she continues to accomplish her goals.  (Some of you may recall an earlier Post and if you Elves have the time look around in my old post and I think you will find what I am referencing)

- For my Girls because I know they have been thinking about them but not wanting to ask- A Whole Everything included Make-Up sets (God, they are growing up,  I would prefer a means to Freeze them where they are!) and Nintendo DSIs (what is it with kids and Pocket games these days?)

Last and Most Important of All:

- Let Us have a Christmas that we all can enjoy Each other, No matter the circumstances!

Thanks for your Time Santa

I know you are getting ready to get Really Busy!

Danny N. Winfield Jr.

And for all of you out there that Doubt that he Exist -  Well, He does!  I met him once a long time ago.  One Cool, and Awesome Dude.  

Get your letters out now as I have no Doubt he will be flooded this year.

Just can't Think

Don't know what to Write?

Same Here.

Sitting here at my Desk,

Pondering what to write.

My Desk,

What a Royal turbulence it is.

Nothing in Order again,

But Ordered it is.

Tid bits here and tid bits there,

Just the way I operate, I Think

Maybe I should run

Not physically, I can't.

Another Clean up Post,

Possible, but then again Probably not.

Maybe some Coffee that might jar my head,

A bit of Sugar, a touch of Milk, that just should work.



Not sure but today is just a brain dead day.  I hope these dead cells brought something worth a quick read.
What would you suggest for some topics you would like me to think about when my brain ain't dead.

Hope you all have a Great Week
Danny

Anything at Anytime's - "Eyessentials"

Anything at Anytime - this actually happened so I hope you get a laugh out of it.


Have you ever found yourself in a chat or a chat room where it seems that a few of the people you meet, in that chat/chat room, and yourself just "Click"?

Yesterday, Anything at Anytime (I) had that happen and Today's Post is dedicated to what transpired.  I am sad to report that I did not copy the conversation.  What follows is the gist of what happened and I think you will all get a kick out of it - I at least I hope you get a smile - I know I was having a Blast when it was going on and still smiling about it now as I am remembering it and preparing to write about it.

This whole post is based on a PUN.

Setting the stage:

I have a Liking to playing Free poker online at Poker stars and yesterday was no different.

When "sat" at a table it depends on the tournament on how many people are "sitting".

In yesterdays case it was a full table with 9 of us "sitting" and preparing to take our opponents money.

From this point on this is not the Exact way things happened but as near as I can recall.

Being sat at the table for the tournament I found a Gentleman to my right that the beginning of his Poker Name was, of all things, "Ace".  Two seats to my left there was another Gentleman whom I will identify as "Mall".

These are the People (which I do not know and did not talk to prior) that I joined in cahoots with in this conversation(s).

Seated across from us all was :  

I, again, Hope you enjoy.

Anything at Anytime

"Eyessentials"

As the first cards are being dealt out:

Mall says something such as:   "I can't help feeling like I am being watched"

Ace -  "We will need to keep an "eye" out"

Myself - "I can't fathom why someone would want to "watch" us?"

(Now there are pauses and dealing and hands all being played while we do this and I will not bother you with all of that.  Just remember that this is all happening with some delays as we are playing our cards as well.  Which gives us the added benefit of coming up with better and wittier comments.)

(I don't recall who did this first but I will lay claim to it and if either of the other two stop in and comment that they started it...... Well, that is fine and I will post it and give them that claim.)

Myself - "Eye just don't see it"

Mall - "Tiny, do you have to keep Looking at me like that?"

Myself - "Don't you think Eye could Leye down for a nap while she is watching things?

Ace - "Tiny, could you keep an eye on my chips while I go the the bathroom?"

Mall - "Eye find this confusing the think with an Eye over my shoulder."

Mall - "Maybe I should keep a Lid on it?"

Myself - "I need a Cornea beer please?"

Ace - "Teyeny, don't let us catch you Blinking."

(This went on and on for the better part of an hour with us coming up with many different Puns based on an Eye or the "I" sound)

Myself - "Teyeny, could you please stop Looking at me?"

Ace - "I think I will take my family to the Transeyeberian Orchestra for the Holiday musical."

Myself - "Teyeny is getting the brunt of everything.  Maybe we should buy her the Eyeful Tower?"

Ace - "Wheye would we do that when we could buy the Eyesores"

Mall - "Eye intend to Eyedentifeye all loosing hands."

Myself - "Now, this would make a Great Post on Meye Blog!

Myself - "Eye think Eye will call tomorrow's post - "Anything at Anytime's Eyessentials"."


Thus you have today's Post.

Eye would Love to See what keyend of Eye/"I" puns you all can come up with?!?!?!

An Award For Me (The Blog)?

Before Anything at Anytime gets into the bit about the Award we were passed, I would like to THANK all that Stopped in and Visited yesterday.  Many Comments and Names added to the list of Veterans out there to be remembered and the Visits to the site gave us out 3rd best total of visits on a single day.

Man, Moment and ?????

Anything at Anytime is going to step out on a branch just a bit and see where it takes us.

Most of you, my followers and readers are Adult.  99.7% (or close) of you are and may get a good laugh and a touch more out of today's post.

And Before you let your mind slip totally to the gutter re-think what you just thought about "TOUCH".

Good God, I'm not that BAD!

If you are a part of the 0.3% please stop here and read yesterday's post from Tomas.

We all know that Humor can be found in the simplest of things.
Sometimes Humor can be found in Captchas as I have shown here in the past.
Humor can be found in the way people do things and what we see.

Humor is all around us, it just takes a little looking or listening to find.

See what I mean?

I now need to set the stage just a bit.

A couple quick things to keep in mind:

Hot dog - aka wiener, aka frank aka the list goes on and on from the mundane to the "Adult".

Juevos - Spanish for eggs or Spanish/Mexican/TexMex Slang for: Balls,Nuts, testicles or just that general region of the Male anatomy.

Why did I give you those?  Just wait.


More to stage setting:


J, my wife (of course) and mother to my children, put on a little weight when she carried the girls.  No big deal in my book because I know where it "Came" from and it did/does not change how I see or feel about her.  OK, I will be honest "It" DID change how I look at her.  I am a Caboose man if you know what I mean - So, it gave me "More" Caboose to see.  That is a good thing Right?  In my book it is!

Anyway, I stray from setting the stage.

So, J puts on a touch of weight from the kids, and again it really has No effect on me (other than the above mentioned).  J, on the other hand, has had issues with the weight gain for years because no matter what she did she couldn't loose the weight.

Diets here, Diets there.

They did nothing for her, but to make her feel like a yo-yo.  You know that Up and Down feeling and your not sure if it will ever stop.

Well, about 6 months ago we (she, myself and the girls) got her a Wii and one of the exercise programs for it.  The Wii is just for her.  We have bought no other games, just for her and her exercising.  With constant encouragement from Myself and the girls, J has been fairly religious with her exercising (exceptions: when she is sick or just truly worn out).

It is starting to SHOW!

I'm a Man - what do you want me to say - I don't see it?

Yeah, RRIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTTTT!

There is an inherent Hornieness in MEN (Yes, I just said that here)!
I don't care if they are straight, bi, or gay; we (as MEN) NOTICE things and THINGS like that don't slip past us.  Hell, a BLIND man would NOTICE!

Again, I deter from my main purpose.

I have always been Flirtatious with my Wife.  Sometimes to the Point of getting a slap on the hand and a "Not RIGHT NOW!!!!" look.
I figured to help encourage her to continue her exercises by increasing the FLIRT Factor.  For every 5lbs she has lost I increase the FLIRT Factor by 10.  We are up 1000.
If you know how to do math you can figure that out easily, if you don't know your math I ain't telling.  What, ....... You want me to get Castrated?
I know the women won't say but if any guys respond to this and put their figures in the comment - Its my Wife and I have to live with her day in and day out.  Do you think the comment will get posted?

For the Life of me I have no idea why I keep getting side tracked and going off on little tangents.  My Mind is a mess today and not a clue as to the "Why".

Once again - Back to the Intended direction.

My Flirtations can come via little gestures; a lite pinch here, a goose there, a nibble on the neck and on occasion the veiled comments.

Veiled Comments - Now there is FUN to be had there.

So to the meat of what started this.
(Hey, what did I say about minds in the Gutter earlier?????!!!!!!?????)

Last night J was tired and didn't want to wait for me to fix dinner so she decided to fix a quick meal that wouldn't take a ton of time and yet fill everyone up.  So, She chopped up some hot dogs started frying the bits to mix with scrambled eggs.  Basically one of the ultra cheap and quick meals we all have had from time to time.  Nothing fancy, Just Food........ Right?

***Warning!!***

Do not be drinking or eating right now!!!!!

I was sitting here at the computer checking out the blog to see what kind of traffic I had had to the site and out of the blue (in the Kitchen) I hear:

"Damn, I Burnt the Wieners!"

My response:  "No you didn't.  Your Wiener is Right Here."  in the most casual conversational tone imaginable.

Her Response: " NO Ding Dong!"......pause......."The Wieners with the Juevos!"

My Comeback:  "Really?...(innocent sounding)  I've got your Wiener and Juevos right here and I Promise they aren't Burnt.  Maybe a little hard but definitely NOT Burnt."

I then got up from the computer and walked into the kitchen: a little goose and a nip on the neck from me, a blush and a Look from her, and the hot dogs and eggs were OK.


If, for some ungodly reason you did not get that, go back to look at the pseudo definitions I gave you all for Hot Dog and Juevos near the top.

Oh, and Yes Ladies - I did get her OK before posting this.

Hope you all got a Laugh and smile out of this?
I had fun writing it.

Please - let me know what you all think.

The Halloween Choice

As promised Anything at Anytime has done the Halloween thing.

Since the 15 votes were not received we took the two that had the most votes:

The Mrs. Doubtfire type

and

The Crossdressing Dime Store Detective

If The girls were "Older" the Dime Store Detective more than likely would have been the choice.  With the Girls at the ages they are the Choice ended up going to the Mrs. Doubtfire look.

So as promised Before and After pictures of the "GET UP":

Before:

and the After:

And the Side x Side:

Since this is a simple post with the pictures from the Halloween Costume voting, I hope you all got a chuckle out of the Conversion to a Mrs. Doubtfire type person.

Let me know what you think and how much of a laugh you got.

A very interesting Conversion to say the least.

Hope you all have had or will have a Good Safe Halloween.

My Halloween Costume?

Anything at Anytime asked you all for suggestions for my Halloween Costume a few posts back.

There were a few suggestions that I can't do at this time.  They are:

1.  George and Martha Washington - Good idea but don't have any appropriate clothing to get them right or even recognizable.

2.  a Ghost - Again good idea but don't want to do something that has or could be Overdone.

3.  a Politician -  This could be done easily.  I just don't want to Scare anybody so bad that they have a heart attack or something.  I don't have insurance that would cover that.



The Suggestions that I would like you all to vote on and have your friends/visitors come over and vote on, are:

1.  Gothic Albert Einstein

2.  a Zombie Car Salesman

3.  a Mrs. Doubtfire creation (if you don't know, it is a funny movie, go rent it and get a laugh)

4.  A Crossdressing Dime Store Detective.

5.  Other -  Write in suggestions that can be done with stuff from home (if there are comments check and see if others have made suggestions you might want to vote for or put in your own)

There should be at least 15 Votes to provide a clear choice.  If not then Jackie, the girls and I will choose one of the 4 above suggestions on Friday Night.

As for yesterdays Post -  There were a couple good suggestions that I am taking into consideration for improvements.  Making it Thirteen days of Halloween, and making the first day - a grave in a church yard.

Have fun and hope you have had or will have had a good weekend.

The Twelve days of Halloween

Anything at Anytime does something just a bit different from the usual bit of creating different Posts.  Can you understand that or did I just make it more confusing for us all again?

Oh, If this hasn't been done before - It has Now -- By Me -- Today.

Quick Note & Captcha Humor Episode 3

Anything at Anytime has a input from you request for yesterday's post.

Basically it is what or how should I be dressed for Halloween?  I am leaving that open for my readers and any and all that visit the site and wish to comment and be included.

I will have a Before and After picture so that you may see and Judge how we (Jackie and I) did on my costume.

The most Common/Popular choice will be what I dress as for Halloween.

The Only Limits will be that it has to be something I can dress as with materials here at home.  So feel free to look at yesterday's post and leave your comment/suggestion.  Pass it on or link to it and have all of your Friends visit and comment on it.

Now for some more of that interesting and often weird, nutty:

Captcha Humor

part 3

The First one for today went to a Poem and Picture site from a follower/friend/sometimes commenter here and with Her site this just fit.

Glowlish =  Glow + Delicious/Delish

Therefore Her Site is Glowlish!


This one was in response to a friend in AZ that just so happens to be a College Prof.  and I think you all know by now that I have the utmost respect for all Teachers and this one just fit because of that Profession.

What do All Teachers need at the end of the school year?

A bunch of     REST  Ohhhhhhh   Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This one was just so out there that I would get this slang for the site I commented on.  The site just so happens to be a Movie commentary site on the top 200 or so movies of all time.

Of Course what do you do for movies in advance of them coming out to the public?

You have     PROMOs


This one was priceless for the fact it fit so well with what I wrote at the bottom of the comment.

This was in response to a Friend from the Land Down Unda - She is selling her house and the post on the day was talking about how she was thinking about her routines and people she knows/but doesn't know and certain was of doing things where she currently lives and how it will be different when she sells her house and moves into whatever New Home they find.

So I guess in my response I am  " FORSE " ing her future.


This time around the system did not give me any "ADULT" Captchas but I have noticed that it comes and goes in groups so who knows what will come out next in Captcha Humor 4.

Hope you all run across interesting Captchas of your Own.

Oh, and Don't forget to look at yesterday's post and comment on what Costume you would be interested in seeing.

You've Got to be Kidding! From Two Angles

Anything at Anytime puts it all out there again.

Well, I got all the stuff done I could yesterday and was able to make the house satisfactory so that Jackie didn't feel like she had to kill herself this weekend.

Yippeeeee!!

So, how do I get thanked?

Simple.

Jackie and Snuggles (if you don't know she is the dog) decided to keep me entertained last night - ALL NIGHT - with a unique rendition of Beethoven's 5th symphony in the Key of S.

Clip Art Guide

Oh, sorry!

I take it you don't know what the "Key of S" is?

SNORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been lucky it is about 1:45 in the afternoon here and I have had about 3 hours of sleep since 8:30 AM yesterday morning, and that was interrupted.

No matter how tired I am I can not sleep now and is just bugging the Living Hell out of me.

Clip Art Guide

That is One Angle.

The Other Angle is what I was talking about in the post before last.

Well, with Halloween approaching and again not much mullah, We (Jackie and I) are wondering how to dress me up for that night.  She has never gotten into it but I have always tried to do something.  So what we were thinking was to do a before and after type thing.

A side by side photo of me as me and the other as what YOU all suggest (most popular suggestion of all comments as long as something we can do with what we have in the House).

A few things we have come up with:

1. A Banged up Biker
2. A Cooked Cook
3. Every persons worst nightmare - A Zombie USED Car Salesman
4. A Woman - From Prim and Proper to Gypsy to ????
5. Any Other suggestions you might have that we could do with things here at Home

Let's all have fun with this.

Pass it on and see how many Legitimate Suggestions we get.

And how many Out There Suggestions!

Just a short bit today (IDEA???)

Anything at Anytime (Me, I, Myself) has/have an idea for October.

Before I Run it out here to the Internet and to everyone that reads my writing I must run it by the wife.

Just let us suffice it to say: If she approves it could be interesting and it would involve you my readers and everyone that comes across this post.

I know you all have that ??????? look on your faces right now but just keep an eye out for any of my post that may ask for your input.

Catch you all tomorrow, and hope you all have a good day.

Another Letter - from Thomas

Anything at Anytime Readers I/we received another letter from my Friend, Thomas Dumbass Snotbottom.

Dan,

Sorry it has been awhile since I wrote.  The day after I wrote last we started our travels and got to a place called Prum Germany via the trucks and roads.  If I remember correctly you said you lived there when you were a kid.  Nice small town and it has a very Friendly Barmaid downtown.

Anyway, from there we went a foot and traveled around for a couple of weeks.  We found several places that looked as if they may have been the residence of other smaller Dragons in the past and we found some very interesting things.  When we get a chance I will show you and we can talk about all of it.  So far it is turning out to be an interesting Search.

We did find one Cave system that used to be His!  Oh, Did I tell you in the last letter it was a Male Dragon? or Even mention his Name?  Well, it is a Male Dragon and when he was last written about Men were Calling him "Frozen HELL".  The Cave looks to have been used within the last 50 years.  There are some clues in the things left here that He comes back on a regular basis here and that he also has three other sites we may find him at.

So, as of right now I have not found what we are looking for but will keep you informed as I can.  We are headed now to the Arctic / Greenland region.  Apparently, He isn't going to make this easy for us, but then again We (you and I always loved those challenges).  

Wish me Luck

and

Hope to see you Soon

Your Dragon Friend and Compatriot

Thomas Dumbass Snotbottom

Well, I told you all that as I heard from him I would let you all know and it looks as if it is going to be one Hell of an Adventure for my Friend (No Pun intended).

If any of you have any ideas on what types of things I should send Thomas in an Adventurer's care package please let me know.  

An OMFG Moment

Anything at Anytime takes a trip on the OMFG side.


As our Anniversary approaches and Halloween as well, I am stepping out on a precipice with what I am about to disclose.

J and I will have been married 14 years on the 14th of Sept. (OH, SHITTTTTTTTT!!! That's Tomorrow)

Happy Anniversary Honey!!!
from the bottom to the top of My Heart.

I was asked awhile back what was one of the weirdest / out there things I have ever done.

Well, it was shortly after J and I were married and I was a (person's worst nightmare) car salesman.  As a newly wed couple we did not have a ton of money and were (still are in some cases) paying bills and trying to sort out living with another person.

We were a month and a half into marriage and Halloween was upon us.  Work was having a Halloween costume contest and I wanted to get into it but we couldn't afford a costume.  Here is the start of the OMFG side.

J was supportive of my wanting to be in the costume contest and so she was trying to figure out what we could do to get me a costume.  The idea she had blew my socks off and then some.  (Sitting here and chuckling about it as I recall it all.)  Her "Idea" was simple, easy (for Her) and wouldn't cost us a single dime.

I will start it off with this......... my first action on the evening of the 30th was to shave closely that night.  Nothing big so I did.  When I got out of the shower I was informed I needed to go back and shave again........ MY LEGS...... That night before bed and as my hair was still wet she set my hair in curlers and I got to experience what some women used (and some still do) to do to "Look Good".  Wear curlers all night.  Damn, it is hard trying to sleep in those things!!!

She woke me at 5 am and started working on my make up and primping my hair and finding the right dress for me to wear that would still be good to work in.  Luckily, she had some low heeled sandles that weren't going to kill my feet.

Not that it is "my cup of tea" but she had me looking GOOD.

I went to work early that morning and 3 of the guys from the sales floor came running until I spoke in my voice which is a bit deep.  Talk about skidding to a halt and double take.  Then when I got in and got to my desk which at the time I shared with one of the women we had working there and she about tripped but said my wife had done a fantastic job.

The day progressed slowly and sales traffic was slow that day but I did get my own and in the strangest way. First client I "caught" out on the lot saw me coming and told me "Not, now Honey.  I am just looking."  (standard blow off speak - LEAVE ME ALONE!)
My response in my regular voice was "No Problem while you looking why don't I show you some of the particulars on the cars you have been looking at."  His jaw dropped.  I told him we were having a Halloween contest later and this was what my wife came up with.  That Halloween ended up being one of my best sales days as I sold three cars that day in the span of 4 hours.  All three to men who mistook me as a woman and were stunned from the get go when they realized it was a man under that dress and makeup.

Needless to say later when we had the competition and everyone voted for the various costumes for those of us that participated - I Won "The most Convincing" and a $25 restaurant certificate for me and J.

It is amazing what we will do when young(er) and in Love and don't have money.

J and I still laugh about that to this day.

A Letter in the Mail / Post

Anything at Anytime, You never know what your going to get.

Yesterday I received a letter from an old friend, Tomas DumBass (pronounced Dumb Bass) Snotbottom.

Good God, I haven't heard from him in, it has to be 20+ years now.  Tomas and I became fast friends when I lived in Europe many years ago.  I had gone to a local Pub (of all places The Green Dragon) for my regular Pint or Two before calling it a night.

Halfway into my first Pint I overheard this young man (Hell, he is my age - young man my ass) talking about Dragons.  Well, I couldn't help myself.  I downed the remainder of my Pint and order two more from the Barkeep.

I took the drinks to the table this guy was at and told him I had overheard him and had a personal fascination with Dragons and asked if I could join him to talk Dragons.

From that moment on we became inseparable when we had free time, always stalking Dragons or chasing down rumors of them.
Many Adventures we had.

Anyway, Did I tell you I got a letter from him yesterday?  Duh, of course I did, that is what started this.  


It is a Fantastic Letter and If He is on to Who or What he thinks then it could change many different aspects of Science as we all know it.  I will let you Read what I got:

                         Dan,

               

                              My friend, I know I have neglected our friendship for many years 

                         by not writing and returning your letters.  I have gotten all of your letters 

                         over time and that is part of why I haven't contacted you.  

                              You got married, wish I could have been there.  I can only imagine 

                         the party afterward.  Then I got the letters telling of the birth of your 

                         Daughters, You Lucky Man!  

                         For Your Daughters more than anything is why I have not been corresponding. 

                         I know your passion is strong for what we LOVE and I NEVER wanted to 

                         tempt you away from your Family.  

                               Sorry to hear of your illness.  I Truly am!  That is the Reason I  am writing 

                         you and decided to get back in touch.  I will not stand idly by when a True 

                         Friend is in Need and cares a burden upon their shoulders.  

                               You know that after you left Europe, I continued to search, listen, hunt and 

                         read any and all I could about Our Passion, Dragons!  Believe me I read many 

                         books and old Tombs and learned of many New Dragons we had not heard of 

                         or known of. 

                               When I got your last letter of you being sick with the Emphysema, 

                         something rang a bell in my head.  I didn't write immediately, I got your letter 

                         last Fall, as I plunged myself back into the books and Tombs.  I just knew I 

                         had seen or read something!

                         And I Found IT!!

                                Dragons of old had a condition that they (the Dragons) called 

                          "Short Breath."  from my studies it seems to be very similar to Emphysema, just 

                           in Dragons.  

                                 Now there was No Cure; however, there was a Dragon that was said to 

                           have the powers to extend and improve the life noticeably in other Dragons 

                           inflicted with this malady.  I still think HE exist, just that HE has been in the 

                          "LONG SLEEP" for near 1300 years.  The last scrolls that mentioned him 

                           written in 732 A.D. and all things I have found on or mentioning HIM, place 
                           Him somewhere in the Eiffel Mountains (not far from where you lived as a child).  

                                 I have arranged for an expedition to begin a search and we start out tomorrow.  
                           I wanted to let you know your Friends here have not Forsaken You!  
                                
                                 I will write more as time permits.  Now, I must pack and rest a bit before we  
                           leave tomorrow.  

                          Forever Your Dragon Friend and Compatriot,

                                                                          
                                                                         Tomas DumBass Snotbottom

If it is True - Well, I (No, We as I have now included you all) will have to wait and see what the expedition turns up.
