about crocus

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Gandhi

Hey guys/gals.  This is just an FYI.  I am going through my friends list.  I'm going to be pretty ruthless about it as I am going to be switching to friends only soon.  

 

Don't take it the wrong way if I remove you.  In the past, I've  typically accepted all friends requests.  However, this means that if I want to post things friends only it is pretty much pointless as I have all kinds of folks on my list.  

I'm going to go through my friends list and remove anyone that I haven't spoken with recently or who I really don't have that much in common with.   There are a group of folks on here that love the drama and go poking around other people's profiles looking for it.   And truthfully, if I think that your friends are crazy or one of the drama hounds, I'm probably going to remove you unless we are really tight.  

As I said, it isn't personal so much as I am tired of all the cattiness in here and am going to restrict my GOLO profile and feel this is a good way to do it.  

 Best regards,

LOL @ the bee story!! I was reading and giggling at the same time! Sounds like Dexter won the battle.

Did you give the corpse a proper burial?

The fact that he said he'd get a shelter dog, then did the opposite shows a lack of integrity that concerns me. Does he really think we're too dumb to notice?

But what's even more sad is, I'd be willing to bet my last dollar that in some shelter somewhere in the US, there's a dog facing extermination that is the very breed of the dog O got.

The breeder dog was in no danger of that. He could have saved THAT shelter dog.

God bless.

RB

Crocus - "Sure honey. You want a dog? As soon as your dad is elected president you can have one." It seems kind of weird to me to be honest."

LOL LOL LOL

Probably didn't want to be potty training a dog in their own home. Ya think?

How funny.

God bless.

RB

We might laugh, but that happened with the Clinton's.

Old Buddy cr4pped all over the White House before they finally got him trained, can you imagine.

God bless.

RB

(((HUGS)))

Hi Crocus -

You're a hoot girl!

Where on earth do you get these things from? Wish I could follow patterns, but I can't. Just have to design my own.

God bless.

RB

Hi Crocus. I saw your crochet rat - it's adorable! Could you send me the instructions? My felines would have a field day with them.

I'm doing a different stitch nowdays, but I spent 20 years doing Granny squares. I'd love to show you the picture of one I did for BF's nephew - 80 squares.

Susan

G'Mornin', Crocus. Just checked out your image gallery of crochet projects...very, very cute. I tried to make a blanket for my son when I was pregnant. Lots of off-angle "squares" in three different colors that when you put it all together looked like three dimensional blocks. Got all my squares done and never learned how to sew them together. :P Son is 26 now and there is no hope of his ever having a blanket made from my hands.

I'm glad they are going to air the final episodes here. I thought it was just going to leave us hanging. Thanks for posting the blog, I probably would have missed out otherwise. Too bad nobody else seems interested. It was a good show, I thought the exact same thing about it's similar look and feel to Amelie. Kind of fairy tale like in a way. There have not been many shows like it.

Maybe she was? How old is he? lol

Thanks Crocus, its just when now..but the whole thing was a mess. thanks for caring.

No worries, sometimes I speak before I read and I have to laugh at myself ;)

Thanks for your contribution! Savannah and Dexter sound lovely! :-)

Crocus, Your a really nice good person. Thank you.. Now they got me all entangled again. I need to get out of here..Its not healthy for me. It flips me out. I go back and forth with the pain. I know that I should not stay.

Some day someone needs to explain to me what one has to do to get booted from GOLO and to get a blog taken down.

Today I've seen personal insults and attacks, and the blogs remain.

Someone sure isn't doing things the way I thought I understood the TOS would.

God bless.

RB

Thanks for the invite to the group. Not sure how much time I will have soon. I am either going to have to be approved to go back to school or I am going to have to be hot on trying to find a job. So I really wouldn't have time to learn right now but I will keep it in mind. I would love to meet you sometime for lunch.

Crocus, Thanks for the advice! I got it changed to a JPEG, but the blog still won't save. Is it the size - 22.2KB?

Susan

lmao. I'm still absolutely mortified I forgot but it is a funny as hell story. Let's reschedule and get you rolling. This Monday is old campaign. Send me an email and I will totally bow to your schedule.

/relieved

Oh, You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be watching Orson like a hawk come Thursday when I start him on the Rimadyl. I wouold be able to sleep at night if I thought I had poisoned my buddy... The vet had run blood work last year and we discussed this as an option but I chose to got with the lower strength "Ascriptin"...which is just aspririn w/ a malox buffer for his stomach.

The picture is in my "pictures" area. I didn't download it. I tried to compress it, but it didn't change anything. I'm stumped, since I am a technotard.

Susan

Thank you so much, Crocus. :) I haven't heard anything yet, but a couple of people who have her e-mail address sent her messages asking her to call me. let's keep fingers crossed, and I will definitely let you know. Have a wonderful night. :)

I've never sold any of my photos before (because nobody wanted them! LOL). Send me an email at javajoespictureoftheday@gmail.com and I'll send you those pictures full-size. My thanks for following my blogs and for all your kind words!

"Did you ever watch Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me? They are by the same guy and really worth watching if you haven't see them. In fact the idea of Pushing Daisies came from an idea for an episode of Dead Like Me."

I haven't seen either. I'll have to check them out now.

lol at your rabies story!!! Awwww! Thank you for being so supportive!!

((Crocus))

I hope that you have a awesome Mother's Day my friend!!!

Hey , hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day. Our senior shepherds from church are going to Wilmington tmw. We are going to the Orton Plantation. Then , Sun - after church - will go to my daughter's for a cook-out. - Haven't done much , as I've been trying to clean my messy place , but end up on the computer. also, now doing my plants for my balcony. i'm always doing something. lol yes, we must meet sometime. I'm retired - so anytime is good -- {{{{hugs}}}}

What was your fav? $1 rolling rocks or PBRs

Saw your "industrial" comment on Morsdeus blog. I assume you must have danced at Legends too :)

"*legal* beer at FallOut Shelter" legal? Now you are dating yourself ;)

Orson is doing much better today... as a matter of fact, this morning he jumped up onto my bed for the 1st time since Monday... I think he might have "Strained" it a little, cause he's only done it once....

But he can get up all by himself now... and he is not limping as much as the past few days

BamBam is a joy to behold! He has 2 speeds...

Vrooooooom and Stop!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!

Poor Clyde. Crocus - you have a lot of talent as a writer. have you studied writing?

waffle house,.lol it was so horible

LOL...I should come join you at the courthouse!/endquote

Don't you dare. I like your name! Especially the spelling...

i'd say "shawn"

caught me as i was getting ready to take a lil golo break :)

tonight is thunderspire but we're back to newb campaign next week. send me an email cuz I'm off golo for a bit. And my name is irish as well (county tyrone is where my mother's family is from) so it really isn't fair I knew how to pronounce yours ;-)

Hi Crocus -

I'm actually the same way, outgoing, but low-keyed, until I see someone hurting a child, an elderly person, a disabled person or an animal.

Then the Gypsy blood gets riled and the 2 inch nails come out. ;o)

God bless.

RB

Horn Dog barley wine. It's great, especially if you like a malty beer. I generally go for hoppy, but I still really enjoy that one =)

Whole Foods sells beer?

Flying Dog makes awesome beer =)

Maybe it's cigs Whole Foods doesn't sell...whatever it was, I remember it being something vitally important to my existence! Of course...since I quit smoking I guess I can walk back in there now =P

You have yourself a great weekend Crocus =)

morning , I have the same problem with crac ker barrel - the store. amazing what words are 'touchy'. sounds like we're in the same boat. Since I've retired , I've let my place pile up w/ mail & magazines & etc. (too much golo-ing) My roommate's going to CA to complete some inventions , hopefully getting them to market. Hopefully, while he's gone , I'll get my trashbags moving & surprise him when he returns. ( hopefully, he'll return -- he has hundreds more he could product) Slowly coming along w/ my afghan. I have a family reunion on Memorial Sunday in Ky , then I hope to be home around the 29th. right now, we should have another craft day that last Sat. - if not, will try to set up a time to meet you. --- oh, my friend & I will webcam so that Tigger won't miss him -- lol Tigger adores him !!

by any chance are you Irish ? (just reading around) i have irish & english from my mom's side. welsh & german from my dad's side. (got a kiss from Tom Jones once at a concert) hee he

too funny ! yup , i think you have it bad - lol ! My great-gr-gr grandfather was born in Wales-- Stanborough . my mom's maiden name was Cooper , which i think is actually the English name. also , found out the other summer that we have Cherokee in our line. anyway, email me sometime & we'll get together. its the same as the golo -- anitathebaptist@hotmail.com

Hey there Crocus *HUGS* I left you a message in the V7V Group...not sure if you saw it!!! How are things going with you??? I can never Thank You enough for all your hard work you have done!!!

Opps that was V&V *LOL*

We have been getting a light rain all day...put a damper on my gardening for the day BUT managed to get out there for some pictures as well as getting the beans up on their little growing fences which my Hubby just bought me...they had some on clearance at the store and he got me a couple...may be to short BUT we can always add poles and twine later if need be...but this is a start which we have to start some where. My Tomatoes are busting out of their cages already and one has grown slightly over it. Everything looking good out there...just loves this misty rain.

or if we could just have a /g channel for blogs here. That would cut out the trade channel clutter BS ... :) I'm still on vacation with the kidlets but back soon. How about this Thurs? Send me a note if that works!

Hey..thank you for the comments on my blog about Bru...hey..here is an idea....if you live in Raleigh,,then we can go halves on the furminator and share it..hahahaha...I know it would work wonders in my house (with 2 dogs and 2 cats)...but gosh..does it have to be so darn expensive...Wally world sells something similar..but I wonder if it works the same? anyway...Have an awesome Monday..((HUGS)

Little guy can't even jump up on it without help! I put a little footstool beside it so he could make it on his own.

And yeah...he has really adapted to "my" chair!

lol, the French have a very different concept on a lot of things. this is a video of my favorite French/German band, singing the only song I like of theirs...enjoy!
