RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

Quote by LinaDS2025

Good morning, everyone! 😊

I'm off to buy some food for my furbabies. But first, let me have some coffee cakes and tea at the bar. 🍵

Morning !!

How many furbabies do you "answer " to?

Enjoy your tea and Morning sweet

Are we (humankind) really ready to actually go to Mars ?? Are "we" really ??

No but try to convince Elon and his cronies of that. We need to take better care of the planet we have. Scientific exploration can be done by robots and those are only getting better with time. Human missions are mostly about national and corporate vanity.

And I say that as a fan of novels like The Martian Chronicles and Red Planet.

Some what you say has merit but let's not discount the "flast" in all of our DNA The urge of what's over the next hill or across the water facing us. Can't blame Elon that his "manifest destiny" is strong. Think what if the Danes with their long ships said "nah. We'll sail around here," then head west and follow the stars??

Speaking of 'exploring the outerspace', I love how poetic artists use 'the cosmos' in many songs. This one was one of my favourites back in college. The same song played when I was asked by a random guy for a dance for the first time.

Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you

'Cause your light shines so bright
I don't feel [no] solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven if I do?

I have four cats. I rescued three of them.

I have four cats. I rescued three of them.

My "grandkitty", i.e. my son and d-i-l's cat, was a rescue they adopted as a kitten. Nice cat but came with a bundle of health problems.

I put a post on my profile about the new story. Not sure there's much new to glean from it, but it mostly reflects on how cruising fits into my life, leading to this story.

Darjeeling tea. Some seriously heavy rain here last night. Bit of lightning and thunder, too, but it sounded like quite a downpour. Good morning.

Suitable music for the weather here.

Huggery for the Red Head that's looking for a Coke Zero .....

Kat with your beverage what about a blueberry cuppycake to put a happier spin on this Hump day ?

fuzzy: forgive my anal retentiveness but that is Mazzy Star. I have a crush on Hope Sandoval and her voice gives me chills so i just kinda felt the need... Fade Into You is one of my Top 10 all time favs!!!!

Glad to see everyone's finding their writing motivations; I keep starting stories, finish them in my head and stop typing at about 500 words. I'm suspecting I have some weird writers block thing that nothing less than a bestselling novel is good enough for me. Delusions of grandeur.

I'd like a tall glass of ice, water and Rose's lime cordial please.

Thanks for kick-starting us into Get-Fried-Day, Lion.

I hope you and Jane are well, and enjoying life!

However, I would amend your opening statement:

This isn't just a place where elite authors hang around.

This is where we let it all hang out!

In fact, I think that's kind of the point, isn't it? 😜

Afternoon y'all

What does a ancient lion and a beautiful blonde hottie do on TGIF??

I Reminded Sweet Jane of Kimmi

Tongue Goes In First. 🔥

May your TGIF is a yumm7

Inquiring minds want to know – 

Where did the bottle go?

And with that little gem, we'll kick off Sat-on-her-Day morning!

Let's see if we can find some frou-frou coffee for Lion and Lioness, shall we?

Nah – let's just go with a good ol' cuppa Joe for today!

There are donuts.

Plus I've got some beignets with powdered sugar for y'all

Market day today, so I shan't be Terry!

Take care out there, 'K?
