A kind PSA reminder

So as you may have noticed the weather is beginning to take that turn from being bright and sunny to being cloudy and wet. This time of year also means that it takes longer for the sun to actually come up and the sun goes down earlier.

You may be wondering what this has to do with any kind of a PSA......well here you go

Is it before 8am? 

Are the clouds sleeping close to the road? You know that pesky fog stuff?

Is it raining?

Is it snowing?

Is it intermittently raining and such?

Has the freaking sun gone down over an hour ago??

Well how about this......TURN ON YOUR FREAKING HEADLIGHTS!!!!!!!!! 

Yes those handy dandy little things that can be turned on generally by finding the on switch right there on the left hand side of the steering column...unless you have some silly push button thing on the right hand side.

Everyone else on the road who has their lights on during these times is not being silly....yes they can see just fine.....what they are doing is making sure that idiots like you can see them. It sure would be nice to see you too especially since you are going to be pissed as hell if I hit you because you made the decision to not turn your lights on and thus made yourself nearly invisible to me.

So please remember as we watch the weather turn from fun in the sun to the often wet and foggy fall, turn your headlights on or stay the f**k home!!!

Amy - hi there! Can you share links to your videos?

Shannon said...

AMY!!!! It is very good to see you :)

PJ said...

Hey Shannon - I read earlier about *you apologizing to somebody??

Shannon said...

Yes ma'am.....apparently I apologized to someone....and I didnt even use the real me to do it....I am trixy like that :)

Amy said...

Don't give in to the dark side, Margo! ;)

PJ said...

Your invisible alter ego, perhaps?

PJ said...

Cute, Margo...

KaytieJ said...

howdy Margo,,,er,,,Dr. A. Hole. Nice to see you in your supple, furry flesh :-D

"I saw a pretty cool black and red motor home/trailer/or something on craigslist recently..."

I am not really interested in a trailer because I drive a small blue Aveo, and it barely has enough power to haul my fat ass around, much less be able to pull a sweet trailer. Thanks for the heads up, Amy! I am in the market for slightly used children's clothing. Let me know if you see any ads for yard sales. ;-)

Lisa said...

Oh, Margo, lol. Over the cliffs of Dover, even? That's love. I'm not sure about the liquid gold from Sherpas, though...

Mulie, if that black and red thing is a motor home, you could pull your blue Aveo with that. Just a thought, anyway.

Hi, everyone!

Shannon said...

Hello ladies.......ok so I really do have a serious question....what the hell happened to Tina? I mean she still hasnt had a word to say about JM and BlogHer and knowing how heavily she has gone after JM through BlogHer she should be pissing herself but apparently she is preoccupied.

Lisa said...

You know, if I was the main reason someone else lost their sole source of income and now may lose everything, I might be a little scared and decide to lay low. Especially if that someone else I ruined is admittedly Satan's plaything from time to time.

*eye twitch*

Muliebrity said...

Has she said anything about your "apology" Shannon? (Was that her? Not switching pages to double check) She hasn't been at SIF's lately either that I have seen. Hope everything is ok with her.

Shannon said...

She hasnt said anything else about the 'apology' (damn that took like 10 times to get out). She hasnt been on MWOP for many days....she is hardly ever at SIF's no matter how active a poster she has claimed to be.

Personally I am hoping she fell in oil and is getting a good scrubbing with Dawn and a stiff brush.


And Lisa would that not be funny if she is currently hiding because something with BlogHer really went down?

Lisa said...

It would be funny, Shannon, but she's not hiding. She's *observing, I bet. At least that's what I'd be doing in her place right now. You sure do miss her, don't you? :-D

Muliebrity said...

OMG, Shannon! That was the best video ever!

Tammi said...

Hellllooooooo

I don't know the back story of whats going on, so have nothing to add. lol

Tried to look at the video, it said it wasn't found?

Nothing new here...school, kids, blah blah blah

PJ said...

Margo - totally cute. Wind Beneath My Wings and all.

Lisa said...

Oh, look, "Mary", I'm trying to keep Daisy from dying again. ;-)

Melissa, are you still out there? If so, my mom and I found a place you really need to go to. www.downtownproduce.com We kept driving past this place in a shortcut to one of her eye surgeons and thought it was purely wholesale so we never stopped. Today, they had some prices out on their signboard and that led me to believe they're open to the public, so we stopped. They are and trust me, just go. We got zucchini and summer squash for .59 cents a pound and yellow onions for the same. I got fresh brussels sprouts (in a bin so I could pick the babies out) for $1.99 a pound. Eggplant was .99 per and they had small ones, too, so they won't be bitter. A bag of parsnips was $1.99, nearly a full dollar cheaper than Publix. A pound bag of carrots was .59. Nive, big tomatoes .9 per. You get the idea. Meat-wise? Boneless, skinless chicken thighs were $1.79 and very well trimmed. Beautiful cuts of steak under $7 a pound and some under $5. Fresh ground chuck was $2.69 and it's better than chain store ground chuck. Thick cut boneless center-cut pork chops were $2.49 a pound. Homemade sausages $2.99 a pound - I got the mild Thai and fixed them tonight...wonderful. They have other stuff too, but it's worth a short trip for the meat and veggies! We're going to be going once every week or so, now that we know.
I figured I better share the find if you haven't found it already. :-)

Lisa said...

"Nive, big tomatoes .9 per. You get the idea."

Well, no, you probably don't get the idea. @@ That should say they have nice, big tomatoes for .99 per (pound).

Melissa said...

Lisa-I'd heard of them but haven't made the trip to check them out myself. I didn't realize that they had fresh meat-I sort of assumed that they only had produce. I think we'll go down there on Saturday. Thanks for the heads up!

Lisa said...

Melissa, we thought it was just produce, too. It's actually a little grocery store/deli type place and they carry a lot of gourmet and imported goods, too. If you like beer or wine, they have a large "cellar" to the side with many unfamiliar (to me) brands at very reasonable prices, too. The meats and produce were amazing, though. I hope you like it as much as we did!

Hi all, how is everyone today?

Muliebrity said...

My goat milk lady have been having issues with production, so I hunted down some Amish today. That was interesting. I really don't feel like pasteurizing this damn milk.

Muliebrity said...

*has

Anonymous said...

Dear "Lisa aka AP",

I wish you wouldn't do that. It just brings Mulie out and we know how you can't stand her. It's also really lame. Remember the good ole days when you had to post 3 times per day to keep up with the chatting? I guess everyone went off someplace "super secret".

Sincerely,
"Mary"

P.S.
When are you going to post your next Jello video? ;-)

Margo said...

Good morning ladies. What's shakin?

Deb said...

Jello?

See it wiggle.....

See it jiggle....

am I aging myself with my old Jell-O gelatin jingle?

Margo said...

I remember that commercial. Did your mom have one of those tupperware jello molds with the pop out center in the bottom? It had different shapes for different holidays.

Shannon said...

Mary makes me chuckle....she has jello on the brain for sure....and a serious hard on for Lisa :)

Margo said...

Shannon - can you put a new post up?

Shannon said...

Probably....LOL

Shannon said...

UMMMM make that probably not....Blogger is having a problem LOL I try to sign out so I can put up a new post and get an error and kicked to Yahoo's home page....I will try again later.

Lisa said...

"My goat milk lady have been having issues with production, so I hunted down some Amish today. That was interesting. I really don't feel like pasteurizing this damn milk."

The Amish people don't mind being milked?

"Did your mom have one of those tupperware jello molds with the pop out center in the bottom? It had different shapes for different holidays."

Hey! I have one of those! I use it for nearly every holiday. That makes me old, doesn't it?

Hi, all!

Lisa said...

Dear "Mary",

I don't have any issues with Mulie. Is she my most favorite person in the world? Nope. Is she even my most favorite person here? Nope. Sorry, Mulie, but just being honest. But I certainly don't dislike her. Why would you think I did? Be specific, please. As for lame, I can be lame, sure. We all can be...what's your point? And yes, I do remember those days of multiple posts and while I kind of miss them, I also kind of don't. It was awfully time-consuming and got very old, very fast. As for being someplace super secret, I actually am. Here you go. Find me if you can. ;-D http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussions/groups/

Sincerely,
Lisa, who doesn't need quotation marks.

P.S.
I guess I'll post my next Jello video when I become Jello. Otherwise, it's going to be awfully hard...as in impossible. ;-)

P. S. S. Why do you feel the need to hide who you are? I'm always curious about why people actually do this.

Margo said...

Have they updated the Jello molds for festivus and kwanza? I remember my mom's never came out perfect and she used to get SO mad.

Milking the Amish - reminds me of Meet the Parents when Gaylor Falker spoke of milking cats.

Robin in Montana said...

I don't like jello.

Signed,
"Robin"

Lisa said...

"Have they updated the Jello molds for festivus and kwanza? I remember my mom's never came out perfect and she used to get SO mad."

I feel her pain. *nods* I don't know about holiday updates but if there's a fucking pink ribbon one, I must have it.

Only not.

Lisa said...

"Robin", who are you? Do we know you?

Margo said...

Do you rub mayonaise in your jello mold - I've heard that helps.

Robin in Montana said...

::waving hands around mysteriously::: Maybe you know me, maybe you don't.

Robin in Montana said...

Ooops, I'm new to this. I meant to add:

Signed,
"Robin"

I will get this straight soon.

Signed,
"Robin"

Margo said...

Waving to "Robin"

Robin in Montana said...

Margo -- couldn't you just do a fine spray of cooking spray? Mayo with jello sounds gross. 'Course, jello is gross, so what could a little mayo hurt?

Signed,
"Robin"

Lisa said...

Have you ever put mayo *on your Jello? Soooo good, I swear!

*eyes "Robin" and wonders who stole her identity*

Margo said...

Dear "Robin":

Always nice to see you.

Best.

"A. Hole, DMD"

Lisa said...

Pam works fine in a Jello mold but you still have to let it hang out in some warm water for a bit. It's a very complicated procedure that require years of practice, I think.

Lisa said...

Wait. Are we using our super secret special names today?

Robin in Montana said...

Just "Mary", Lisa. The rest of us are just using quotation marks. It seems fancy.

"A. Hole, DMD"

Now I have the "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" deal going through my head.

With love,
"Robin"

Margo said...

Mayo on jello - ewww. At our house we use ramekins. My husband is a jello freak - LOVES the stuff.

Robin in Montana said...

Margo - your husband *is a freak. Jello is wrong. I hope this help you.

Regards,
"Robin"

Lisa said...

"Just "Mary", Lisa. The rest of us are just using quotation marks. It seems fancy."

Gotcha and I'm all for fancying myself up some, but as always, I'm an over-achiever. How do I look?

Robin in Montana said...

"Miss Sakamoto" - Maybe you need a ribbon on your walker? That would be fancy.

Yours truly,
"Robin"

Margo said...

Sugar free jello is not good for business.

Robin in Montana said...

Too bad we didn't have someone creative around here, you know, someone who had like good creative ideas, like, say a *greeting card writer, for instance, to give us ideas about fancy, huh?

Margo - how is juice and vodka for business? I'm asking for someone else, not myself.

With Affection,
"Robin"

Margo said...

Orange juice is good for business - sugar and acid - oh yea!

Shannon said...

I have this image of Mulie out in the dark with a big net hunting down poor Amish people and then milking them now......thanks.

Jello is actually really yucky...you shouldnt eat it.

And seriously if anyone is going to be accused of being lame around here it is going to be me!!!! I only just admitted my lameness yesterday while making no sense with my migraine!!!

"lameo"

Lisa said...

"Robin", my "walker" is off limits to such media hype. I made it fancy by putting it in quotations, though.

Margo said...

Jello is yummy - what's wrong with you people?

Margo said...

jwop

Shannon said...

"A-hole, DMD" I am sorry but there is just something wrong with slimy koolaid LOL I do not know why I dislike jello so much but videos are much better then eating it :)

"lameo"

Robin in Montana said...

"videos are much better than eating it."

That's what she said.

Adieu,
"Robin"

Shannon said...

PISH you pervert!!!

"lameo"

Lisa said...

I love Jello, too. I like to squooosh it through my mouth and you all know exactly what I mean by that. I do not, however, like Jello with stuff in it, unless said stuff is cream cheese. Then it's okay. Jello with nuts in it ought to be "illegal".

Margo said...

I like squishing it through my teeth.

Amy said...

I usually only do Jello when I'm ill. I'm off to make about 100 truffles tonight for a baby shower my sister is hosting tomorrow. I have a feeling I'm going to be up late. Hope everyone is doing well.

"Amy"

Deb said...

Dear Robin, Margo, Miss Sakamoto, Amy and Shannon,

I like Jello as jello jigglers, like in the cake pans, then cut with cookie cutters. My mom made those for almost every school party. Love the Jello convo! It's good stuff

I miss you all!

"Deb"

Shannon said...

Miss Deb you have made me rethink as I do actually enjoy jello shooters :)


"lameo"

Muliebrity said...

I had something clever all ready to go, but then blogger ate it and the baby pooped through her clothes onto me. Now I need to run to the library and get ready to head to St Louis tomorrow.

Sorry for the misunderstanding over the Amish. I should have been more specific and said I was going to look for Amish GOAT milk. I have no desire to milk people, as I spend a good portion of the day and night milking myself. :/ Maybe I should give up on goat's milk and just feed my family my very own "liquid gold"

Deb said...

Jello shooters, ugh. Reminds me of last Halloween, my neighbor was giving the adults jello shooter treats. Then we gathered after trick or treating to have more. Baaaaaad.

Shannon said...

DAMMIT MULIE!!!!

Now I will think about you milking yourself and feeding your family....probably updating FB and twitter with how fabulous your liquid gold is :)


Have fun in St. Louis.

Margo said...

Have you tried almond milk. Hannah prefers that to cows milk.

A. Hole, DMD

Trudy said...

I miss you people.
"Trudy"

Margo said...

What's up pumpkin head?

Dr. H

Shannon said...

Oh it is "Trudy"......you have been hiding for a while

"lameo"

Lisa said...

" Maybe I should give up on goat's milk and just feed my family my very own "liquid gold"

"Mulie", I vote for this...it's cheap, handy. Hell, don't even milk yourself. Just let 'em latch on. ;-)

"Trudy"? Ha! A likely story. Who are you really?
