Sitting here, drinking wine and realizing with great pleasure

[crim son]

that Barack Obama will probably win the nomination, may well be our next POTUS, and republicans are going to help elect him. I've never know so many repukes willing, nay, eager to vote against the repuke candidate.

Warm weather, a glass of wine and a Democrat as President. What could be sweeter?

(my apologies to those who support Clinton but think: anybody is better than McCain. even Obama)

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Wrong forum.

:hi:

[crim son]

6. Oh don't say that.

I'm not interested in an argument; merely kicking back and enjoying.

However, I apologize if I offend. Perhaps the mods will move this?

[ScreamingMeemie]

I kid...I kid...

No worries. ;)

[crim son]

16. I'm glad!

:D

[Danger Mouse]

2. Hey you.

:hug:

[crim son]

8. Heya O Most Wonderful Man!

How are you? :hug: :loveya:

[Danger Mouse]

12. o most wonderful man? wow, i rock

:)
i'm okay.

[crim son]

15. Well it surely isn't the wine that rocks.

:P

Just okay? I'd hoped for better.

[Danger Mouse]

23. check your inbox.

[BeachBaby]

3. Hey there crimmie!!!!

:hug:

What kind of wine are ya drinkin'?

[crim son]

10. An excessively cheap sauvignon blanc... the bottle is in the kitchen.

Normally I drink Barefoot which I thought was as low as you can go. Apparently not! Hi, JerseyGirlDem! :hi: :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

REAL wine comes from a box.

[crim son]

19. Well then, I may soon be switching back to real wine.

What goes around, comes around. I remember shortly after being married, being invited to a party at the inlaws' place. They served wine from a box and I was AGHAST! Yeah, how times change. :eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

26. My friends and I once got trashed off a box of wine.

It was cheap, easy, and didn't taste bad, but my friend puked in his kitchen sink, so that could be considered a downside.

[crim son]

32. Even a fine wine will make you puke if you drink enough of it.

I tend not to drink to the puking stage so I can handle the $9/litre stuff.

[BeachBaby]

14. Cheap wine. The best wine.

You know what, girl? We must hook up, sit together with our feet up on the coffee table, and drink cheap wine while we discuss what it is exactly about men that drives us insane. I've been pondering that question alot in the last few weeks. :P

[crim son]

22. You got it!!

Except if you happen to be up here in Maine, we'll huddle by the fire as we drink our wine and discuss. Warm weather during the day doesn't = warm weather in the evening. Of course, we could always start at breakfast!

You should visit. Nobody ever visits Maine. Well, not this part of Maine. :(

[BeachBaby]

25. Huh. Are you near the master of creepy books?

But it doesn't matter. It's the company that counts.

:toast:

[crim son]

33. Oooh, do you like him?

Visit quickly then, my house is for sale. He's not my neighbor, but he's my neighbor's neighbor i.e. he's two doors down. Also three doors down since he bought the house next to his original one. Let's see...


I'm two doors to the left. Of course his house is much grander. :) I wish I could say that our proximity makes me more interesting but in fact I think it does the opposite.

[BeachBaby]

44. Get the hell outta here!!!! Are you series????

OMFG. Okay crimmie, my imagination is running wild right now.

I say we drink that wine, get absolutely plastered, and then sneak over there at night. I wanna see how madness lives. ;)

Stephen King aside, I would LOVE to see some mooses. :) And our resident DU sweetie. :hug:

[crim son]

48. Eh, I'll bore you.

But I am SO WITH YOU about getting plastered and sneaking into his place. Of course we'd get arrested and then everybody would know of our folly and my chances of getting a job, even at Walmart, will be KAPUT!

But it'd be worth it!

Yeah, I'm his neighbor. Wanna buy my house? Since the divorce there is no possible way for me to live here!

[SPKrazy]

4. Warm weather

a bottle of O'Doul's

and President Al Gore and Vice President Barack Obama


:D


:hide:

[crim son]

13. Okay,

but you know that's never gonna happen. If it could, I'd toast to you. Aw hell, a toast to pawpicker anyway!

Wait. Going to the kitchen to get another glass. :loveya:

[SPKrazy]

17. Yes, a toast to pawpicker!

and a toast to crimmie!

:toast:

:loveya:

[BeachBaby]

21. I'd vote for that ticket, Southpaw.

Great in theory, but we all know it ain't happenin'. ~sigh~

~~~pouring some box wine for myself right fucking now~~

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

31. I want you to pour that wine RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:hi:


:hug:

[crim son]

36. There you go,

flirting with JerseyGirl and diverting the attention from MOI. Don't you realize this is MY THREAD? :rofl:

I keed! I keed!

[SPKrazy]

37. Yup

but hijacking is fun

:rofl:


;)

[crim son]

47. True, and I used to do it often.

Now I have more respect (said with parental disapproval, mouth downturned and eyes cold.) :rofl:

[crim son]

24. Thank you Sweetpea!

Heh. Sweetpea. I must be getting a small buzz. :D :toast: :loveya:

[SPKrazy]

30. Sweatpea rofl

:rofl:

:hi:

:hug:

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :P

[Fox Mulder]

5. What kind of wine are you drinking?

:)

[crim son]

27. I just went to the kitchen and poured a second glass,

and I still don't know. I'll let you know when I pour a third. Something cheap, a sauvignon blanc. :hi:

[many a good man]

7. I'll drink to the end of the bushcheney junta era!

[crim son]

34. Then CHEERS!

No matter which Democrat you like, s/he's a blessed change from what we've been tortured with these last eight years.

[Pierre.Suave]

9. Hi

How have you been doing lately?

[crim son]

35. Yello my friend.

I've been doing rather well, with a few days' exception here and there. I believe I'm largely past the divorce grief/fear and into the horror of the practicality of it all. This is far preferable. How are you, jasonc? I'm not around so much here & though I blog on myspace, I don't do much else on the 'nets. :hug: :loveya: How's yer love life? :D

[Pierre.Suave]

38. it is great

But there are a lot of very sad, angry, little men and women here on DU that want to make me as miserable as possible.

[crim son]

41. The thinking person cannot avoid being affected

by the sad & angry folk. But you should try. To my mind it's not so much what these people say, as the fact that they say them. DU is supposed to be a refuge from the insanity but lately it has failed that order, & miserably.

[Pierre.Suave]

46. You are very right

Crim Son.

Thank you.

[lost-in-nj]

11. HI

dancing outside tonight!!!!!


(FINALLY)!!!!


a beautiful night


:hug:



any Dem candidate is better then the right now.....



lost

[crim son]

39. Dancing outside????

Oh, I'm jealous, seriously! I haven't danced in ages, and certainly not outside. We have still cool nights here, not to mention a dearth of locations where one might boogie beneath the stars... or are you on your back deck? LOST!

[bicentennial_baby]

18. w00t! I hope it's good wine!1

:P


You should so come down coast sometime to hang out...just sayin. :)

[crim son]

43. Awww, you know, you mentioned that possibility once

long ago and I thought I might. Then time passed, you married and Hell, Everything Was Different. :P

I'd like to visit. Bring some maternal order to your domicile, etc. Heh. :hug: Plus, eat your good cooking.

[bicentennial_baby]

66. I'd love to have you come down here...

And...you're hot. So...who knows? ;)

:hug: Anytime.

[crim son]

69. I'm not hot, my dear girl.

But I *used* to be! Don't invite me for that reason, because I'd disappoint. Now, I know that isn't your reason.

Next time I'm heading down, I'll PM you. I have a sister in Walpole and a few friends from Berklee all over the state. I'd love to toast to you and whatsisname (Kidding!!!!!!!!. Really!) some warm summer evening. :hug: Hokay?

[bicentennial_baby]

89. No, you are...and,

I love older women...

:yoiks:

I'll just hide now, ok?

:D

PS- By older I mean older than me...I'm 31 ;)

[crim son]

93. I qualify.

But I have high standards, even for people my advanced age.

Thank you bi-baby. However misguided, you have made my night/month. Happily, this will wear off and I think we can still meet without hideous embarrassment. You old woman, you. :hug:

[mainegreen]

20. A great many republicans in my family are voting for him.

Too many remember the lessons of Vietnam to ever vote for McCain.

[crim son]

45. That's my story as well.

My father, my mother and my repuke sister have gone Obama. The boyfriend, his mother, sister et all... Obama. The repuke neighbors next door... Obama. I hear it all the time when I'm out because this is a republican town (or at least the losers who are out when I'm out are republicans) - Obama, Obama, Obama.

I hope so. I'll take Clinton over McCain any day, but I'm feeling very optimistic about Obama.

Hi, mainegreen. How's the rugrat? Any new phrases?

[mainegreen]

53. It's all about 'sit down' now.

He always wants us to sit down on the floor so we can either:

a) read to him
b) read with him (each one of us has our own book, reading next to each other)
c) play with trucks, ideally crashing them into each other.

So much fun. :D

[crim son]

56. OMG.

That's really cute and I miss that stage. Next thing you know, he's eight and asking (jokingly) if his ass looks good in these jeans... or he's fifteen and hormonally terrorized.

I bet he smells good too. :D

[mainegreen]

65. He smells like warmth, hay, and milk.

It's wonderful.

[crim son]

68. I know he does.

I'm not terribly far from gramma age, and I so look forward to it. Even the diapers and their cute, sagging behinds.

Wow. This may be the first time in years that I've imagined myself with a baby. (smacks forehead) Let us hope it's a whim.

Thank you for your report, mainegreen. :hug:

[graywarrior]

28. I lift my pretend glass to you and Obama

[crim son]

49. I thank you, graywarrior, while Obama

salutes you! :loveya: How's life in the Northeast?

[graywarrior]

99. I drive to Lewiston 2 to 3 nights a week for my job.

I love it here.

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. Hi crim son

:hi: :hug: good evening

[crim son]

50. Good evening, philboy.

And you know when I say "good evening," I am suddenly tall, lithe, young and sultry-eyed, cuz that's what saying "good evening" does to me. :)

[texanwitch]

40. I don't have wine but I will join you with a cold beer.

:beer: :toast:

I can't wait to be able to say President Barack Obama.

[crim son]

51. Me too!

I remember listening to him in 2004...

But I won't jinx anything, especially not this moment. Cheers to you, texanwitch! :toast: :pals:

[Hugin]

42. In times like these, I'd even drink Pepsi out of a Coke glass...

Casting all religious and social taboos to the wind.

Ah, good times! GOOD TIMES!

[crim son]

52. But could you do without the refreshing taste of lemon?

THAT's the question.

Freak. :hug: :hug:

[Hugin]

55. I prefer a dash of grenadine...

It's a luxury I'll allow myself on such a night. :o


:hugs:

:hi:

[crim son]

57. For those of us who drink boxed wine,

the luxury of a dash of grenadine is only a fantasy.... Fortunately I am not a drinker of boxed wine. :hi: :loveya:

[Hugin]

62. There was a time when I made my own.

But, it's so hard to find decent wild grenadeberries these days. *tsk*

:hi:

:D

:hug:

[crim son]

63. Oh yeah.

I know what you're talking about.

Okay, I don't. But I still admire and respect you. :D

[Hugin]

67. Doesn't one make homemade grenadine from wild grenadeberries?

If not... I wonder what it was I was making? :worry:


Note to self: Check cook book.

[crim son]

70. Worry not.

Whatever it is, it's CHOCK FULL of vitamin C. You rock, Prag. :hi: :hug:

[Hugin]

73. Well, maybe...

But, you rock more! :7

Nice to see you, Crimmy! :hug:

Thanks for reminding me, I need to plant some Hollyhocks. :think:

[crim son]

74. Doubtful, Prag. You are the Height of Rock.

Hollyhocks need a fence or other shelter. Here's to you:



Yeah, it's Pawpicker. I don't have a whole lot of interesting stuff in my photobucket account. :rofl:

[Hugin]

80. Sadly, me neither...

Going to have to stock up.



For your night. Enjoy.

[Ptah]

54. It is good to see you smile.

[crim son]

58. Your photos always do it.

Ptah, the white that isn't flowers. Is it sunlight? And I hope those poor cows are drinking decaf... :D

[Ptah]

59. Yes, the spots of sunlight do distract from the picnic in the sequoias

Here's another view.

[crim son]

60. The sunlight distracts

only because it isn't immediately clear what it is.

Tell me... are those sunflowers?

[Ptah]

61. Yes, young, green heathy sunflowers.

[crim son]

64. Laughing.

What else?

I spent my day in the garden, undoing the damage of the past two years of depression-induced neglect. I've so far edged about 70% of it, weeded and mulched about the same. Since the wild rose moved itself down a few feet, I planted pole beans in its old location. Beans, peas, sweet peas, tomatoes, gypsy peppers and lots and lots of herbs. These are all mixed in with the flowers: roses - lots - sedum, astilbe, geranium, hollyhock, liatris, delphinium, red cardinal vine, nicotiana, hosta, bleeding heart, day lilies and oriental lilies... and tons more. The worst thing about moving (if it ever happens) will be leaving the garden. However I will steal pots and cuttings of everything, enough to cover an acre...

I like the fact that you garden.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

71. As soon as I saw the "wine" thing, I knew it was you.

:rofl:

[crim son]

75. I want you to know I've been very good about the wine!

Oh shaddup, you! I only drink because your rejection is a wound that can never heal. :P

You? Sober? Or what? And I want to know more about your trip.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

77. It was 90 degrees.

And I counted five or six minorities in four days. :P

Oh, I just watched The Last King of Scotland. :thumbsup:

[crim son]

81. Ninety are my Dream Degrees.

And I had mixed feelings about TLKoS. Good film but frustrating to watch. It rather explains too neatly and probably accurately, how evil persons come to power.

Oh SA. I'm glad we're "talking" again.

Did your friend do anything exciting/interesting to which I should be privy?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

82. It's 70 right now, and that's too hot for me.

:scared:

Actually, my friend drew a rough-draft sketch for the cover of my book. Once I get it scanned, I can send it to you.

[crim son]

84. I am SERIOUSLY interested in anything you will send me.

Why? Because I know your future, and I understand that anything you give me will be worth MILLIONS down the line.

That, and I wuv you.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

85. Heh.

:blush:

[crim son]

91. I'd love to be the fly

on the bridegroom's wall. But not really; I have at least that discretion.

[BeachBaby]

72. Oh shit - Southpawkicker told me to get drunk right fucking now.

And now I am drunk.

Crimmie - how YOU feelin'? :P

[crim son]

76. Not drunk yet but waiting for my daughter's boyfriend to leave.

One more and I'm wit ya. Check your PMs, dear friend.

[BeachBaby]

78. I must be a cheap date.

I had one and a half glasses of box wine and I'm officially looped.

Will be on the lookout for a pm, girlie. :hug:

[TK421]

79. Heh...you ought to post this in GDP, for the hell of it....but if you did, I suspect

we would never hear from you again...perhaps hear stories about a body found washed up on the Delaware River front....stay safe

[crim son]

83. Oh TK421!

I just realized I owe you a PM! You have to understand... my ambivalence. Brief PM incoming, because right now I'm mildly inebriated and don't want to... eh, hell. Incoming PM.

[TK421]

86. Yeah..I just got it, thanks

[Lindsey]

87. It's a nice thought. It means that there's hope and for so long I've been

completely hopeless. I literally forgot what it felt like.

[TK421]

88. Well....sometimes it's easy to forget shit, take it from me

I'm great at forgetting shit....like promising that I wouldn't touch a drop ever again ( yeah, THAT worked out great )

[crim son]

94. Hence my infantile recumbance.

My wish for us both my friend, is a miracle. A justified miracle yet a long-awaited, Heaven-sanctioned miracle. :hug:

Don't stop hoping and if it's your fashion, don't stop praying.

[crim son]

90. Yeah.

De nada.

[sasquatch]

92. Nice post Midlo

:P

[crim son]

95. No doubt, between you and Midlo.

S/he would probably more subtle than grab my username. :eyes:

[Lil Missy]

96. I am still completely disillusioned and confounded at how these current assholes ...

ever got onto the White House in the first place. Especially that god damned buffoon dubya, that can't even complete a sentence or speak plain English.

Don't even get me started. The leader of the "free world" says

"noo-cu-lur",

for christ sakes.

Excuse me while I go take my blood pressure pill ....

[UndertheOcean]

97. wine ,wine wine wine , NA NA NAA NAAAAAAA

[Guava Jelly]

98. "What could be sweeter?"

A friend to share a glass of wine with. :)
specially one as cute as the lovely crim son(It would be sweeter if she was naked drinking it) :yoiks:
