More flowers
I didn't feel as if I should leave for vacation with a rant as my current post. Instead, here are some flowers that I took in a friend's garden.
Here's a purple morning glory.
Here's a white and purple morning glory.
I was curious to see a green flower. These zinnias were not the best-looking flowers but they were green.
I like this shot I got of these pansies.
This dahlia was at least six inches across.
And passion flowers are so beautiful that they look surreal.
Everyone stay cool while I'm gone. If I can find internet I will at least try to do some commenting. See ya soon.

That passion flower kicks serious ass! They're all nice, but that one takes the (rum)cake.
You guys have a good time, eat sensibly, wear clean underwear, use condoms, etc etc etc.
We'll, um, we'll keep it busy here. Heh heh heh Remember what happened to Susie when she left us for too long.
Uh-oh, what version of Twister is going to happen here? Actually, Susie is gone for a long weekend and Eclectic already started Twister over there.
Glad you like the passion flower. They are so bizarrely cool.
Staaaaaaaarrrrt Spreadin' the News....
The passion flower is my favorite too.
Have a great trip!
Mr B, believe me, that has been going through my head. Actually, that just changed to "Start blogging the news..."
Sierrabella, aren't they just too cool? And thanks!
Kitty, you don't wanna be it?
I looooove morning glories! BEauty pics.
Amy, thanks! I appreciate your coming here and commenting. I'm not as entertaining as Bucky, but, I mean, who could be?
Look for the new HBO Original Series: Squirl in the City.
What kinda tag are we playin'?
*bobs and weaves*
Oooooooh, freaky, Squirl -
We posted comments simultaneously.
Must be some weird sister brain link.
Bucky, Squirl in the City. Sounds like a Brainy idea. Yeah, and what's up with posting at the same time? cue Twilight Zone music
Great pictures, I will be unoriginal and say I love th passion flower. Have a wonderful trip, see ya soon and I think Squirl in the city is a groovy idea.

That purple morning glory up at the top with the pink highlights is GRReat!
The pansies look to me like they are playing that game you do as kids where the person in the front leans over with their hands on their knees and someone comes running up from behind to leap-frog over them.
Come on, tell me you can see it.
or perhaps I've been drinking too much of the koolaid.
;-)
The green zinnia, is um, yeah, something I'd just love in my garden *nods head in a trying to be accomodating and polite sort of way*.
The dahlia is beautiful. I think I need to grow dahlia's... or peonies. Probably peonies. After all, they are the state flower of IN, so gotta support the homies.
I've never seen a passion flower in person. They look pretty freaky. In a good way.
BTW - I've got NY, NY going through my head, now. over and over and over again. thanksssssssssss Mr. B, just Tom-Teeee-riffic.
um, do I win an award for longest comment ever posted on blogger?
sorry about that.
Well, not really, because I think you'll enjoy the detailed comment. But it seemed like the polite thing to say to everyone else, at least.
August95, the passion flowers are so different it's hard not to be attracted to them. Thanks!
Danielle, thanks, I had to work to find morning glories that were still open as it was getting later in the day. I hadn't thought about the pansies playing leapfrog, I see it now though. :-)
I saw someone else's green zinnias and they were really full and zinnia-like. The ones in this garden just didn't do well.
Peonies are gorgeous, too. I love those full, petal-filled flowers.
You need to go to the greenhouses in the spring and check out all the different kinds of passion flowers. They're varied and cool.
New York, New York! You know I didn't mind the long comment. :-)
Kitty, don't make me give you and Bucky a time-out now. :-)
Love ya everyone, see you soon!
Danielle - Tom Terrific? BWAHAHAHAHAA
I haven't thought of him in years.
Kitty - did they leave yet? Can we start?
Uh.....truth!
OK, now that squirl's gone, I wanna play too!
*whine* I don't know how to play
Do I tag either you or Bucky?
I thought I had to wait for Bucky's reply...
what's the rules???
OK-
Hey Eclectic...
truth or dare!
I, ahhhhh...I may have once sneezed in the food of someone who really, really deserved it.
Kittay - truth or dare?
Kittay - you must compose a poem rhyming "snot" with "sexpot" and post it here in comments for us.
Pretty flowers.
Alright Sierrabella, I'm game.
Truth.
*wiping drool*
Oh yeah, weak, terrible...uh, keep writing this crap and I'll let you know when it gets better. Yeah, more practice. (Images might help.)
Squirl, these are spectacular. They really made me feel good.
I had no idea of the craziness that was going on here . . . I've been away . . . this is outrageous . . .
Can I play?
Susie - Truth or Dare?
ooooh, this is scary . . . um, TRUTH!
Truth for Susie: Ever blamed a pet for your own flatulence? If so, please expound.
I don't think I have ever actually done this . . . maybe I have, because everyone in this house blames Biscuit, because he is the worst farter in the history of the world. However, reminds me of a joke:
A young man went to his girfriend's home for the first time to meet the family, including the elderly, gaseous dog, Bandit. They sat down to dinner, and the young man, to his horror, passed gas. The girlfriend's Dad yelled, "Bandit!" So the boyfriend thought, oh, Bandit must do that sort of thing all the time. He looked down and saw Bandit under his chair, looking up at him, hoping for some crumbs. A few minutes later, the boyfriend did it again, and the Dad yelled, "Bandit!" The boyfriend thought he had a license to fart at that point, which was a good thing, because he was having some serious tummy trouble, but didn't want to offend the family by leaving the meal. About the 5th time this happened, the Dad yelled, "Dammit, Bandit! Are you gonna get up or just sit there until that boy shits on you!?"
Susie - one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE jokes!
It is an oldie, but goodie, isn't it? :)
wow, deeplypurple, that is a brainy song. Not a Barney song, but a brainy song.
So beautiful! What wonderful pics!
When I was a kid, I was positive passion flowers were plants from outer space. Haven't thought about that for years...
Have a wonderful trip!
I don't know where he is, haven't seen him.
I'll let you pick for me. Or you can put it up to a vote.
Ooh, oooh...I vote truth for Bloggy. Because otherwise he'll start singing something....
So, what's Bloggy's Truth question?
Ok, time's up. I pick my own truth:
"Bloggy, will you keep coming back to this post to find out if you've been truthed or not?"
Hail no!
You people are amoking over here, I love it.
Do me do me.
heh
Ok kitty just for you, dare.

This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
oops sorry slip of the click
you're all friggin hilarious. squirl's gunna bust a gut when she gets back.
GW - uuuuuh, tooth! Er, truth!
Kittay - where's Jess' dare? Don't pussy out on us now, Kittay.
Do ya ever plan on throwing us all a real hootin nanny party at you n Jimbo's humble abode? Roast Pig and the works? Sure would be fun! If ya don't wanna invite me...I completely understand cause I wouldn't wanna invite me either.
When is Squirl coming home? She has 78 comments. She needs 100, don't y'all think?
Sodomy, you say? Wait, I didn't sign up for all THAT . . .
I accept your dare, and you will be sorry. Oh yes, you will be sorry.
And Squirl, clearly you can see they made me do it, and I think your a nice girl.
The deed is done.
I saw you on the news! You look great! Don't answer your door. And you might want to start putting together a disguise . . .
Pretty pictures!
GW - in truth, I am not planning a Blogger BBQ in my yard. I fear that, bloggers being who they are, people would poop in my favorite yard spots.
However, it's in my mind to arrange a more formal affair...perhaps a...
Cotillion?
Jess, your story is so incredibly...accurate.
Do you have spies in Squirl's building?
Ha! Those BNMs do glow, don't they?
You could roast marshmallows on 'em.
Oh, god, Kitty, I PICTURED it!
You've just stunted my growth.
Hey y'all--I just thought I'd see if Squirl had commented here while away, and look at the fun I've been missing!
C'n I play too??
Effie! Truth or dare?
Hmmm--truth!
Hey, wait a minute! No one ever followed up on my "truth or dare" that Sierrabella gave me but then got sick. *pout* I wanna truth, please. Someone, anyone....
Oh, and BTW, I'm 100th! That must be my consolation prize, eh?
OK Eclectic (congrats on being #100)
Here's a truth question(Bucky will probably give you one before I finish my comment, but oh well)
Have you ever injured someone (or did not prevent an injury) on purpose?
Effie - confess to us your guiltiest pleasures in the following categories:
* Music
* Movies
* Television
Oh Effie -- you're my new best friend!!
Yes. If you count grasshoppers. But if it's people, the closest I have come to that was in the 6th grade -- turning away in silence when other girls acted mean to Laura.
OK, your turn: but if Bucky gives you one, you have to answer that one too.
Did you ever go on a date with a guy you knew you didn't like and could never date, but said yes anyway? OR made up a phony excuse to get out of it?
Eclectic! Congrats on bein' #100!
Let it rain ping pong balls!
(okay, maybe I watched a little too much Captain Kangaroo as a kid)
Oooh--my guiltiest pleasures for music??
Well, I *blushing shyly* LOVE Country Music--not the real twangy stuff, but the newer stuff. And I will listen to the REAL oldies station with the classical music and old songs like "How much is that doggy in the window" and stuff--my hubby hates it!
Movies: Yup, musicals again. I LOVE "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" and "Singin' in the Rain". That and REALLY sappy chick flicks. Oh and vampire movies. The ones I'm embarrassed about? Kid's movies like Labyrinth and my favourite movie: Romancing the Stone.
TV: I love to watch Canadian Idol and that new "So you think you can Dance" show--I don't know why but I really like them. I have to say--I like "America's Next Top Model" too. My hubby doesn't know I follow that one--I can't believe I like it....
Oh and Eclectic's truth question:
Did you ever go on a date with a guy you knew you didn't like and could never date, but said yes anyway? OR made up a phony excuse to get out of it?
Yes to both (yikes!) There was this tall, gangly guy who had a really bad dandruff problem who was part of my group of friends. A bit of a strange guy, he kept trying to create his own religion. Anyways, he told me multiple times that he loved me and could think of no one but me and eventually I relented and went on a date with him to see a play. I think I knew nothing good would come of it when on my way to meet him we hit a deer on the road. A bad sign. It was a good play and I tried to stay friends with him. I think I broke his heart though. Bad me. I hope he's found someone....
The second part: yup--I think I told someone that my parents wouldn't let me date just so I wouldn't have to go out with him. I'm sure they would have let me, but I didn't like the guy--he was TOO forward and I was kinda scared of him....maybe it's a good thing I didn't go out with him, come to think of it....
I feel like yakking today--sorry people--I just have to elaborate on one of my answers:
They guy I went out with the once wrote me a poem about how I had broken his heart and how sad he was and he pasted it to the back of a Queen of Hearts (we played cards together)--he called me up constantly and creeped me out, telling me how sad and lonely he was...I never wanted to hurt him but I had to tell him to stop as I was going out with another guy.
I wonder about him sometimes...morbid curiosity really.
Anybody else have creepy/obsessive people stories?
Oh, Squirl. I have NOT been a very good blog neighbor. If I had realized these hoodlums were here trashing your place while you were gone on vacation, I woulda called the cops. Forgive me.
Now, about this mess...
::looking around at assorted plastic cups, empty bottles of booze, and discarded clothing::
::sounds of cleaning, sweeping, breaking bottles::
There now. ::dusting off hands:: That oughta do it. Just, ummm....whatever you do, don't open that closet.
*coming downstairs after a nap*
Oh, hey Ladybug! Glad you're here: truth or dare?!
Either that or it's a bleedin' act of god!
I think Squirl is messin' with us. She's gone all big city and serphisticated, and she's havin' a laugh at the expense of rubes like you and me.
Yup. I feel those Squirly eyes upon me. It ain't right.
Squirl's gone all "UPTOWN" on us? That shit ain't right.
Okay, guys, I'm home now. I came in and read occasionally when I had internet. Y'all had a great time here. Got me well over a hundred comments. I figured you'd stop the fun and games if I showed up.
Welcome, home, Squirl!
Sorry about all the mess...
I'd come help you clean up except I'm still a little sick.
*cough-cough*
Susie - thanks!
Sierrabella, I thought I saw on your site that you're feeling better. ;-)
Y'all are making me feel like I'd better put up a new post about my last week.
Squirl!! You're back! Um, about the mess? Yeah, well I told 'em it wasn't a good idea, you being the classy sister and all, but then Jessica told us what REALLY happened with you and the BNM mattress surfer, and well, all of a sudden, a little game of strip "truth-or-dare" didn't seem so unreasonable. We stopped before anyone got nekked, except for that one mormon guy....sorry 'bout that.
I just don't know if you can claim to be the "classy sister" anymore after that shocking expose on Jess' site.
Makes my filthy ass seem suddenly angelic, doesn't it, though?
DP, read my next post for all the stuff about Lily Dale.
Eclectic, lies, lies all lies. I am still the CLASSY sister. If it hadn't been for Kitty poor Jess wouldn't have been forced to make up that libelous story. Remember, she chose dare, not TRUTH.
Bucky, you're just as much to blame. You could have stopped Kitty from playing this dangerous game, but no, you encouraged. Well, I got to have a nice vacation anyway. First post is out there.
OMG!!! You blog comments turned into a chatroom!!
Hi, Justagirl, yeah, that's why I commented back to you on your blog. I didn't know if you could find your way through here. :-)
These guys kept my blog alive while I was on vacation.
