10,000 visitors
Just a quick note.
Sometime today or tomorrow, this blog will have received its 10,000th visitor since Site Meter was installed.
I'd like to thank you, my friends, old and new, for stopping by.
sounds like me hitting beamish' site - i tee off the bloglinks from there eighteen or nine times a day depending on if i'm up to it...if i get a cart it goes much quicker.
I agree, it is a great site. Warren, thank you for the kind words when you visited my blog. Russet Shadows, whom I've known for 10 years convinced me that I should blog. You have him to thank for the random jumbled thoughts :-)
you girls are so schweeeeeeeeeeet - all y'all, but warren was here and started this blog by the sweat of his brow and i just came along and he felt sorry for me and as his begging became incessant...well, you know the rest of the story - he's gone into seclusion - i think with beakerambo. woop-woop-blather-nanc-yipe-yipe-atchoo!
The winner gets the old storm door that I replaced last year, all they have to do is pay shipping and handling. :^)
Nanc, I'm afraid that you have to actually close the window and open a new window before it counts as a visit.
FJ, That's OK, I'm just using freebie software. Some of the premium software, (javascripts), will divide it any way you want. I'm just glad you guys come and visit.
The Merry Widow said: "I hit more often than you, FJ! What's the prize? Your name written in gold letters on the sidebar?"
Don't mess with me, skillet! I can have your trolls scalp! ;^)
I want you to visit Freedom Now's site and take a look. There is a good reason decent people want zero to do with Greg. He is an unstable ignoramus.
Rather then respond to the same charges Gert leveled at Freedom Now he goes into Psycho mode. This is why I took the unprecedented step of telling him to get lost. I can foward you the emails where he never got the hint.
my husband just did a demolition a couple of weeks ago - i've got doors coming out of my ears - several windows, a washer, hotwater heater and various sundry items - you'll not take this title from me!
sure you don't...that's why you won at other sites too...no wonder you got a washer and a hot water heater..were those the prizes at beaks or wherever you cheated?
Warren- congrats, I was at my Weds. night small group, studying Acts 3 while y'all were having fun over here! Geez! To bad this didn't happen about 3 yrs. ago, I had hair down to my fanny and you could have had a really nice scalp to hang! ;p No gold letters for the poor ole widder woman. sniff, sniff Nanc- You are a shameless hussy! I need a new bathroom doior, how much is shipping and handling? No dryer? Geez, I'm going to need one of those soon too! Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
tmw P.S. Looks like Church on the Beach or Church on the Island are going to be the 2 finalists as a name! Wear your sandels, kick 'em off and wiggle your toes in the sand! neener-neener
didja get tired of the long hair? i did the other day and cut over six inches off - just put two pony tails to each side and lopped it off at the tie - i feel so lightheaded now...
Nanc- Yes I did, it was a pain. Mine is still shoulder length, in this heat and humidity I have to be able to pull it up. Damp strands on my face make me cranky! I also look terrible in short, short hair! But I was able to give Locks of Love over 14 inches of usable hair, that made my day! I do have bangs now, for the first time in 30 yrs. My hair is baby fine and a pain to fight with!
Now that the contest is over, I guess I can get back to my five hits a day. Talk about your getting light headed! It must be some kind of contact high.
Pete as in St. Peter. I already homeschool, i'm not taking on a cryptic like FJ, I love him, but he does get convoluted at times. Especially if he's been bitten by the muse!
tmw I really dislike stepping in cowpatties, especially fresh ones! They're hot!
i ride on warren's tailfeathers - he is the genius behind longrange, not me - everybody but plucky loves warren - dang, i need to take some more crotchety lessons...all these niceties are going to kill me...
My, my, we seem to have a disgruntled poster! How do we gruntle him again? Take a drive through the Ozarks, honest, they're beautiful. Especially this time of year! That'll gruntle you real good! Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
There. Now you've got grunting, groaning and ,,,,,,. This field has got WAY too much fertilizer on it. I wouldn't go swimming in the old pond after it rains. You'll need to throw a bale of oats in it to prevent an algae bloom!
When ARE you going to start posting at your site tmw? There's at least 80 untended acres there running fallow at the moment that could use a good mowing. At least let me drop a few cows off and let 'em graze.
FJ- Only if she's a c-cup,, in a bikini! I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do there. I'm thinking along the lines of what G*D has shown me over the years. Some of it is rather esoteric, so you would probably enjoy it, i.e. visions of my own or other peoples and how it relates to what is happening in the world today! I'm afraid I'll have a lot to spread around! If your cows are into mystic type stuff...
...not exactly what I meant tmw, but I guess that could work too. I was thinking of getting nanc to milk the cows, then I could sell the milk (the extra ~~). The first two were getting the field mowed and simultaneously fertilizing it.
btw -nanc won, and as soon as the patties cool off we're going to have a buffalo-chip tossing contest. I'm sure AoW's got a few rusting hulks laying in her backyard we could use for prizes (and maybe elbro would call off his sharks were he to win one). Just a thought.
AoW- EB is agitating for a storm door. Nanc, is holding out on him, at least he acts like she is. I think he's just a little put out that Nanc won, again! FJ is after mystic cows and the rest of us aregoing, Oh shucks!
Sir Warren - You forgot the cheap booze at Beak's for the roast. Between the old storm door and your absent mindedness my lawyer, Jackie Chiles is gonna clean your clock.
as for the cow chips you'll have to catch me first...not an easy task...back in the Ping Pong Delta I once ran away from some of Charlie's special forces...they coudn't catch me
Nanc- I'll agree with you on that! It takes an EXPERT CRAPPE THROWER to get any distance and I think that our very own ENERGIZER BUNNY, fits that bill!;o
it's in honor of my best friend in the www - fern! thanx bensosilly - warren cassini created this one also, but fern won't wear it - too nacho i guess...
Does the team-blogger at one's own blog qualify for the prize? Just asking.
AoW that is what I have been asking myself for two days. Jackie says the case is strong and that Sir Warren and Nanc should be entertaining the notion of settling. It's an open and shut case of pure nepotism. Meanwhile my poor children suffer in the cold without that old storm door. Yeah that's right pain and suffering too. Jackie says y'all better send that door. You've got another couple of days before the paperwork is filed.
I am returning to moderation. The knucklehead Greg has gone too far this time.
He screws up shoots his mouth off feigns ignorance and then cries for an apology. Sorry to say it but to call him human excerment is an insult to excrement.
I am thinking of retiring the Beak Speaks and moving to the other blog.
EB-In the American Southwest? In early October? You are a little pushy bubba-loo! Take a drive to the Ozarks and pick up the door, enjoy the trip and fire the lawyer! You'll save yourself a bundle and have a fun trip with the family! Talk to Jackie, I'm sure she would enjoy the trip with your young'uns!
okay, the second place whiner gets a free turkey dinner (the entawr family) at nanchouse this thanksgiving - DOES NOT include airfare, but lodging is possible - depending upon how you act at dinner.
i'm not shipping the door! it wouldn't fit through the automatic stamp machine at the post office...now i need to find a new post office...
Regarding the cyber baby shower you're hosting for MZ, I will gladly attend. Email me at theurbangrind at yahoo dot com and let me know what's involved.
Congratulations...you and nanc have a great site going.
ReplyDeleteAny door prizes for the 10,000th visitor?
OK..I am 9948. 52 to go.
ReplyDeletewhy,
ReplyDeletethank
ReplyDeleteyou
ReplyDeletea.c.!
ReplyDelete47 to go after this!
ReplyDeletei want the prize!
46...
ReplyDeleteDifferent Visitors? Do I count as one each time I visit?
If so, I make 4-5 hits visitor hits every day... that cuts your actual number down to 2,000. Sorry warren.
I hit more often than you, FJ! What's the prize? Your name written in gold letters on the sidebar?
ReplyDeletetmw
shame on you two!
ReplyDeletesounds like me hitting beamish' site - i tee off the bloglinks from there eighteen or nine times a day depending on if i'm up to it...if i get a cart it goes much quicker.

I agree, it is a great site. Warren, thank you for the kind words when you visited my blog. Russet Shadows, whom I've known for 10 years convinced me that I should blog. You have him to thank for the random jumbled thoughts :-)

ReplyDeleteyeah! I'll take what's behind door #2. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteHere I am, signing in and admitting my guilt. And to think some of you haven't been to that blog yet! Shame on you. :p
ReplyDeleteIf I took what was behind door #3, then I wouldn't get that box that Monty Hall has in his hand. What's an ADD-affected game show contestant to do?
10,000 visitors is nice. Very nice. Congrats, guys!
I want the gold letters, thanks!
ReplyDeletetmw
Warren & Nanc,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And kudos to both of you.
Here's another hit!
ReplyDeleteJust doin' my part. ;)

ReplyDeletebless you, warren.

Well nanc, you know what they say; work your fingers to the bone and what do you get... bony fingers!
AC, door prize?

He is too unstable and dumb to waste any time on.
10,000 that is a good number.
Thank you Indie67,
ReplyDeleteI meant what I said. I think that both you and Russet Shadows write great prose.

Thank you all. You all bring something special to the table and I consider you my friends.
There's Beak!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kuhnkat, I realized I missed you just when I hit the publish button.
Five to go!
thanks warren I love coming here...if it wasn't for nanc...well that goes without saying
ReplyDeleteI could use the old storm door.
ReplyDeleteI'm back did I win the door?
ReplyDeleteok how about now? I closed and opened the window
ReplyDeletebut nanc I could really use that door.
ReplyDeleteI'll repeat that you have a nice sense of humor and a sweet disposition.
ReplyDeleteif you only knew the damage you have done!
ReplyDeletemy husband just did a demolition a couple of weeks ago - i've got doors coming out of my ears - several windows, a washer, hotwater heater and various sundry items - you'll not take this title from me!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteNanc was 10,000!
She gets to keep the doors as as an extra added bonus, the assorted house fixtures.
wow! that's mom spelled upside down!
ReplyDeletei made landmark numbers at beamish', beak's and now here! i'm goin' to vegas baby!
somebody stop me - no really...
please make sure to tell everybody i DON'T know how to use the sitemeter or anything else of importance. i took the short bus here.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteI told you that International Nanc Appreciation Day wouldn't happen in time, but in place.
The fix was on huh! Well you can keep your door and your washer and whatever else you got. I think I'll call my barister.
ReplyDeletethat's a lawyer nanc...just in case you're still on the short bus
ReplyDeleteOK everyone, listen up and listen good!
ReplyDeleteNanc, DON'T know how to use the sitemeter or anything else of importance. She took the short bus here.
:^)
Good night Nanc.
sure you don't...that's why you won at other sites too...no wonder you got a washer and a hot water heater..were those the prizes at beaks or wherever you cheated?
ReplyDeleteI thought employees and sponsors of long range were not eligible! Dayam I am pissed!
ReplyDeletethe fine print says "with proof of purchase"
ReplyDeleteMr. BTIP, it's always the fine print isn't it.
ReplyDeleteare you two saying warren can be bought? shame-shame-shame!
ReplyDeletei was just out, minding my own business - hitting the blog links and BOOM!
good morning everyone!
Warren- congrats, I was at my Weds. night small group, studying Acts 3 while y'all were having fun over here! Geez! To bad this didn't happen about 3 yrs. ago, I had hair down to my fanny and you could have had a really nice scalp to hang! ;p No gold letters for the poor ole widder woman. sniff, sniff

didja get tired of the long hair? i did the other day and cut over six inches off - just put two pony tails to each side and lopped it off at the tie - i feel so lightheaded now...
ReplyDeletep.s. - it's still down to my shoulders.
ReplyDeleteNanc- Yes I did, it was a pain. Mine is still shoulder length, in this heat and humidity I have to be able to pull it up. Damp strands on my face make me cranky! I also look terrible in short, short hair! But I was able to give Locks of Love over 14 inches of usable hair, that made my day! I do have bangs now, for the first time in 30 yrs.

ReplyDeletetmw
personally, i love bald and would shave my head if my husband would allow it! wait a minute - he's not the boss of my hair!
ReplyDeleteNow that the contest is over, I guess I can get back to my five hits a day. Talk about your getting light headed! It must be some kind of contact high.

ReplyDeleteBovine fertilizer,,
ReplyDelete...In keeping with this week's Io motif.
,,?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when FJ shows up things become criptic and esoteric? And if Nanc's involved...there is no translation possible?
ReplyDeletetmw
Double trubble.
ReplyDeleteWatch your step tmw! Your frying pans will do you no good here.
ReplyDeleteshhhhhh, tmw - you got here in the middle of farmer's succinct lessons!
ReplyDeleteFJ- Not with all the cowpatties around!
ReplyDeleteNanc- Is he succinct yet? I'm not holding my breath!
tmw
you done stepped in it little missy and now you get to substitute teach!
ReplyDeletep.s. and why shouldn't you? he has me re-reading and analyzing prometheus bound for pete's sake!
ReplyDeletei've always wondered about that guy pete and why should we do anything for him?
Pete as in St. Peter.
ReplyDeleteI already homeschool, i'm not taking on a cryptic like FJ, I love him, but he does get convoluted at times. Especially if he's been bitten by the muse!

I really dislike stepping in cowpatties, especially fresh ones! They're hot!
Congrats on the big number and your well deserved popularity nanc!

HEY! IS THAT THE PLAN?
Has anyone seen Felis? I am somwhat concerned.
ReplyDeleteno, but i've imagined i've seen him.
ReplyDeletemy lawyer said to send me the door now (YOU PAY FOR S & H) and we'll forget the whole thing. Otherwise..prepare for the legal battle of your life!
ReplyDeleteMy, my, we seem to have a disgruntled poster! How do we gruntle him again? Take a drive through the Ozarks, honest, they're beautiful. Especially this time of year! That'll gruntle you real good!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
tmw
Groan!
ReplyDeleteThere. Now you've got grunting, groaning and ,,,,,,. This field has got WAY too much fertilizer on it. I wouldn't go swimming in the old pond after it rains. You'll need to throw a bale of oats in it to prevent an algae bloom!
everybody knows you're SUPPOSED to fertilize in the fall!
ReplyDelete...but nothing to excess.
ReplyDeleteSo buy more land and spread it over there too! Gee whiz, do I have to do your thinking for you? Oh never mind, I have enough of my own to do!
ReplyDeletetmw
When ARE you going to start posting at your site tmw? There's at least 80 untended acres there running fallow at the moment that could use a good mowing. At least let me drop a few cows off and let 'em graze.

ReplyDeletetmw
I really dislike stepping in cowpatties, especially fresh ones! They're hot!
ReplyDeleteThat brings back some memories.
I'm in a rush to get back to Beak's. Who was # 10,000?
ReplyDelete...not exactly what I meant tmw, but I guess that could work too. I was thinking of getting nanc to milk the cows, then I could sell the milk (the extra ~~). The first two were getting the field mowed and simultaneously fertilizing it.
ReplyDeletebtw -nanc won, and as soon as the patties cool off we're going to have a buffalo-chip tossing contest. I'm sure AoW's got a few rusting hulks laying in her backyard we could use for prizes (and maybe elbro would call off his sharks were he to win one). Just a thought.
...and tmw, you know me and Mystic stuff. You had me reading Luke24 and John20 this am!
ReplyDeleteI did?
ReplyDeletetmw
Farmer,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure AoW's got a few rusting hulks laying in her backyard...
Not any longer. The County made us get rid of them.
But we've got lots of other stuff.
Nanc won? I can furnish a door prize. We have extra doors.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I took my meds a few hours ago.
AoW- EB is agitating for a storm door. Nanc, is holding out on him, at least he acts like she is. I think he's just a little put out that Nanc won, again!
ReplyDeleteFJ is after mystic cows and the rest of us aregoing, Oh shucks!
tmw
EB won. So what was behind door #1?
ReplyDeleteWait a minute...Nanc cheated.
ReplyDeleteI DON'T CHEAT!
ReplyDeleteanymore.
and as soon as the patties cool off we're going to have a buffalo-chip tossing contest
ReplyDeleteOkay....but I'm not shaking the winners hand
How can you say that, EB? They are high in cellulose and burn great! Are you a chicken?
ReplyDeleteGood morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
tmw
oh, you'll shake the winners hand if enough of us hold you down, elbro.
ReplyDeletepssst, nanc, i think we found his weak spot!
ReplyDeleteNow on to the second phase of the competition, the cow chip tossing contest!
later guys, workday for me.
ohhhhhhh, i can toss the crappe, but i don't know if i'm quite as good as elbro...
ReplyDeletedid i ever mention that i love this goofy little avatar? steve has it up at the hodgepodge - he likes it too!
ReplyDeleteSir Warren - You forgot the cheap booze at Beak's for the roast. Between the old storm door and your absent mindedness my lawyer, Jackie Chiles is gonna clean your clock.
ReplyDeleteas for the cow chips you'll have to catch me first...not an easy task...back in the Ping Pong Delta I once ran away from some of Charlie's special forces...they coudn't catch me
ReplyDeleteNanc- I'll agree with you on that! It takes an EXPERT CRAPPE THROWER to get any distance and I think that our very own ENERGIZER BUNNY, fits that bill!;o

nanc-
ReplyDeleteCongrats,10k, thx for stoppin by....didnt recognize you in your new....uhmmm
it's in honor of my best friend in the www - fern! thanx bensosilly - warren cassini created this one also, but fern won't wear it - too nacho i guess...
ReplyDeleteDoes the team-blogger at one's own blog qualify for the prize? Just asking.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fern is too frondy for FN? Personally, I just LOVE it, but not as much as I love my own avatar. Long live Warren the Avatar Guy!
Does the team-blogger at one's own blog qualify for the prize? Just asking.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your traffic.
Regarding the cyber baby shower you're hosting for MZ, I will gladly attend. Email me at theurbangrind at yahoo dot com and let me know what's involved.
tmw jackie feels so strongly about the case that he is working pro bono. he was deeply moved when he saw the pics of my freezing children.
ReplyDeletenanc - I am unmoved by the bribe, prepare for court, the honorable judge judy presiding
will do zelda!
ReplyDeleteoh elbro - brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteAm I 10,0001?
Er, nanc, all of a sudden you're not looking like yourself. What happened?
ReplyDeletei believe we have a few more years of this before we get that high, cube!
ReplyDeleteI've gone public with your promise of an old storm door to the winner. The world will no longer doubt that the fix was in.
ReplyDeletebig baby!
