I can't remember where I left off. Where was I? Oh! I was busy because I had to go hiking with Tall Boy. Yes.
So, he comes over and somehow the dogs already know something good is going to happen. They're prancing and leaping and Edsel is whining and they're throwing streamers and Tall Boy is trying to help me get their harnesses on, and I speak in Tallulah voice: "Thank youuu, Uncle Tall Boy."
"Uncle Tall Boy," he said. "I sound like a beer."
Do you know I never really thought about how his blog name is a beer name? And I even have a tall boy story, so you'd think I would have made the association. Once in high school, my friend Donna and I were at a burn-out party, somehow. We hadn't started OUT the evening planning to go to a burn-out party, but there we were, and I remember I had on an Izod shirt and she had alligator EARRINGS on, for God's sake. Oh, we were so not fitting in amongst the black Foreigner tshirts and bongs.
"Man, am I ever messed up!" stone-cold sober Donna announced, trying to seem cool. "I just took a Tall Boy!" She totally thought that was some kind of pill, like a Black Beauty or a Blue-speckled Dexie. We had heard of those when the burn-outs spoke, and of course had no idea what they were. A tall boy. Poor Donna.
At any rate, Tall Boy the pill and the beer and I went to the Indian market near me, the one where Pal from MA was annoyed they had no tonic. We got water, and I paid with my ATM and the guy said, "Four dollar minimum."
I hate places that have a minimum for taking your ATM card. Just take my damn money, you yahoo. But I really like the guy who is ALWAYS working the counter at the Indian convenience store, and I should learn his name, because somehow we always get into philosophical talks about life or candy bars or something.
So Tall Boy grabs this bag of something called Veggie Thins, and you know how I feel about the word "veggie." Or nonword. But did I ever mention his vegetarian status? So grabbing a beef jerky wasn't going to happen.
In the car, he opens the bag and offers me one, and I am sorry to tell you they were PIZZA-FLAVORED vegetable sticks. "God, these are disgusting," I said. "I know," crunched Tall Boy. "You want another one?" "Of course."
"Aspire to inspire before you expire," said Tall Boy.
"WHAT?"
"Church sign."
Anyway, we finally got there, but not before we somehow got into a conversation about Colonel Sanders, in which Tall Boy referred to him as "Sanders," like they go way back. We were maybe five miles from the site of the ludicrous mountain and the dogs were already hysterical. I think they remembered going there months ago. Do you think that's possible? Because they were berserk, and Edsel was barking his 3949394-decibel bark, and basically I was delighted I had come up with this whole idea.
We get out there, in the woods with the mountains and the trees and the deer, which we saw (pretty!) and it was sunny and lovely and immediately Tallulah pooped.
"Geez," I said, getting a bag.
"Do you really have to use a bag when you're out in the woods?" Tall Boy wondered. "YES!" I said. "I don't want others to deal with it. There's a trash can up here, I think."
So there we were, and did I mention the whole place is called Hanging Rock, so this whole walk is upeffinghill, and we were going up up up, and minutes were passing, and I was huffing like I was 98, and oh! No trash can?
Seriously. It's a public park. Or something. NO TRASH CAN? ANYWHERE? Tall Boy had the dogs, and I was retaining the water (love self), and now I had this awful grocery bag of poop. And minute after minute passed with NO TRASH CAN.
"Woodsy Owl would be annoyed," said Tall Boy, who is 86 feet tall and who was having no problem schlepping up that mountain in three steps. "Give a shit. Don't pollit."
Okay. I don't know why that struck me as so effing funny, but then I was retaining water and holding a poop bag and schlepping up a mountain AND giggling, and how we ever got to the this-is-good-enough place near the top is beyond me.
Oh! And one more thing and then we'll get off this hill. On the way down, a group of boys passed us, and one kid (maybe early 20s) held out his hand to pet Edsel? And Edsel SNARLED at him! You guys! Edsel!
"I'm so sorry," I said to the guy. "He's never done anything like that before."
"Maybe it's your hood," offered TB. So the guy pulled off his hood, held out his hand again, and "Rrrrr ROW ROW ROW!"
Oh my GOD! What was with Edsel? You know how simpering and lovey he is! What happened, there? Does anyone have a clue? Humiliating.
You should have seen his "Edzul bad ass" stomp when he walked away, too. Holy cats!
At any rate, once we got home, to base camp, as it were, we dropped off the dogs and ate 4949302 pounds of Thai food. They gave us this plate that had squares of leaves, maybe a cabbage leaf? And around the leaves were teensy plates of different spices, and you put those on the leaf and at it. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious that was. Perhaps it was the 949 calories a minute I had burned rappelling.
Anyway. Then last night Faithful Reader Laura came over.
Today I have my blood test at work to see my cholesterol and lipids (prediction: I am all lipids) and so forth, and my particular test is not till 10:10, which means I have to fast till then and I am already irritated. However, in five to seven days I get a full report on my health, including a rating from 1-100 on how close I am to death. (Prediction: How can anyone be alive with this diet? You are a one.)
Okay, so I will shower now. Did I mention I am hungry? And wishing I could have some of my half/caf coffee? Or maybe some nice chicken from my close pal Sanders. Okay, going now.








Go Eds - maybe he was protecting you from some woodland maniac that looked all normal in a hoodie but wasn't really.
When I was a paralegal we had to calculate how long folks would live and calculate that into how much Mr. Big Insurance company was going to pay them in damages. It was something similar to this link:

OOoo, I love Tall Boy and I cannot BElieve that Eds snarled at ANYONE???? I'm so confused by that! Eds is the biggest love bug, Faithful Readers! I have a veeedeo of Edsel giving me the sweetest gazes of looove and adoration whilst I was rubbing his belly and making sweet talk!!
He is sooooo lovely, I cannot imagine him not liking a soul.
My thing? When my dog doesn't like someone? That is generally a really good sign that that person is NOT a good soul and intends him or me harm. I trust my doggie's good/bad-person-radar. He has been right every single time.
This includes on of my " best friends" who will remain nameless. She had been one of my best friends for 5 years. Well, turns out she has lied to be several times about some private information that she had divulged to my ex. She told him ALL about my boyfriend and when I started seeing him, etc. even though I had EXPRESSLY asked her to protect my ex's feelings and my privacy. Well, Mr. Dallas didn't like her and it was so baffling to me. Now I know why...Dogs know.

My guess about Edsel is that he was afraid of the guy -for whatever the reason.
You need to be a better(strong-calm) pack leader for your dog. I know this because I'm a lousy pack leader for my dogs, they want to attack everyone! They have no faith in me as their pack leader.
Glad you had a grand day out. Good luck with your blood test, hope you pass!

I would have totally tossed that bag o'poo. Been there. Done that. For reelz. It'll all break down to nothing. I swear those plastic grocery bags start decomposing before I even get my groceries in the house the way they are always breaking and tearing open at the worst possible juncture.
Sounds like a lovely hike! I agree with the bad guy theory... Edsel picked up something there. Give him an extra treat tonight.
I LOVE Thai food! Love love love!

I'm with Pal as to why the Eds growled at hooded/nonhooded hiker. When I had my kitchen counters replaced, one of my dogs was loving the counter boy and even showed him her toys. When his helper got here, Gracie sat as close to me as she could and grrrr'd and wrinkled her nose and showed her teefs to him. She's never done that to anyone, so I'm thinking helper wasn't a good person.
I'm betting with all the exercise you had yesterday, you'll score 100, especially since you indulged in veggie chips and not Pop Tarts.
Posted by: Jeanie | 30 January 2012 at 09:17 AM
Thai food is delicious! Maybe I should avoid seeing "The Change-Up" since Thai is one of my favorite foods.
June, you had an outstanding weekend from start to finish. Maybe Edsel didn't want anyone coming between him and Tall Boy.

I agree, Edsel must have known there was something up with that guy.
Somebody mentioned a latisse knock off a while ago and I cannot remember the name. I do not want to have to go through the trouble of getting a prescription, the next doc that can prescribe it is an hour away, according to the latisse website.

I guess one advantage of being deathly allergic to dogs is never having to carry bags of crap around while I'm hiking. Not that I've been hiking in years.....
Posted by: Beverly | 30 January 2012 at 09:52 AM
bag-o-crap! I actually order poop bags online, same ones sold at Petco, but waaaay cheaper. Always have one on me. They are blue and once you tie them, you can't smell the poo. That said, if the poop happens a few feet off the path, I cover it with leaves and consider it fertilizer.
It's so cool to see deer on a hike.
Hope your test score comes in low.

I think you could've left the shit, maybe kicked it off the beaten path, because it will decompose. But what do I know. I have cats and I scoop poop every morning.
Posted by: Just Paula. | 30 January 2012 at 09:58 AM
Were you holding Edsel's leash when the guy tried to pet him? My dog is very protective of me outside of the house. If you're invited in the housse he'll lick you from head to toe with his little stub of a tail going a mile a minute. If you come up on us on a walk it's quite a different story.

Posted by: Duffylou - could be standing up for his mama | 30 January 2012 at 10:02 AM
June Gardens, Dog Poop Sherpa. Hikers who let their dogs take a dump by the side of a public trail should be boiled in Thai hot sauce.
Posted by: Peter, who surprisingly finds horse piles less obnoxious, and not just because he's a big Duffylou fan. What can you do with that? Carry along a mini-fork lift? | 30 January 2012 at 10:08 AM
You don't have to pick up the dog poop whilst hiking unless you also plan on picking up the deer poop and the bear poop and the bird poop.

I should have said, "Hikers who let their dogs take a dump by the side of a public trail and don't pick it up etc." The difference between dogs and native wildlife is that they are not native and their numbers are far greater. Who wants to go to their favorite hiking spot and see dog poop every 10 feet?

H. D. Sanders was my grandparents neighbor. My uncle used to mow the grass for his motel that was next to the restaurant. Our other neighbor worked for him traveling with him to cook for potential franchisees. Mr. Sanders was a really good man-he paid for several neighborhood kids college educations-he was a big believer in education since he had to leave school to help support his widowed mother and siblings.
I'm surprised Edsel growled at that guy on the path. He must have felt threatend.

That is just about the funniest mind video I've ever seen, especially with the wildlife crapping all around you-probably hiding behind trees, sniggering and pointing!

Lily and Iris are a.dor.a.ble. And yes, Lily is the girliest, most feminine cat I've ever seen. And Iris is still all kitten-playful, swatting and batting toys. I wanted to take both home and replace with my dingbat catten. Also, the dogses behaved WONDERFULLY. June isn't exaggerating about that, so Filipina (or however you spell that) trainer lady = money well spent.

Posted by: LauraL (thanks for the compliments; you have all embarrassed me mightily) | 30 January 2012 at 10:55 AM
Hah! Biting me on the ass, indeed.
It was important to find it because it has jagged, sharp metal edges that could tear an organ or get lodged somewhere. Potentially serious complications could ensue.
Yes, Anita...I saw all of DA and it was a great episode!
Posted by: Pamela Soul Sister #2 STOP LAUGHING!!!! | 30 January 2012 at 11:12 AM
Was the poop warm when you picked it up? I hate that.
My Border Collie, who lives to please me, always looks at me shamefully when I bag her poop. Like she's thinking, "OH NO! I not 'spose to poop here?! I naughtee?"

SS# screw the crown I would definitely ask for a NEW one. By the way DID you find the old one?
Good work on Eds part, they know. And the poop, I would have flung that poop off the path and let mother nature take care of it. Forget this carrying it around in a bag stuff. You were in the woods, for crying in the cream.

Was Edsel on leash when he growled at the boy? For some reason, my dogs are more likely to be aggressive on leash if someone approaches. Exact same stranger could walk in the front door and they'd lead them to the silver for a bellyrub.

The so-called friend I was dining with at the time found it amusing, as I turned red at the table and panicked. You would think she would have reached out to me by now to ask how I am, but I have not heard from her at all. I even pathetically asked her if she would check on me when we parted ways, but...nothing. Heck, I have a friend who just gave birth this weekend and even SHE called to see if I was ok and if it was out. I swear I wouldn't be so panicky and obsessive if the metal edges weren't so bloody sharp!

Well H. D. was always very upset with the changes that were made, once he sold the business. He always served cream gravy with the mashed potatoes. When the corporate changed to what they have now, he called it wall paper paste. KFC corporate kept him under a pretty tight contract, that he was never happy with. There was such ill-will with him, I'm quite surprised he didn't pass out the recipe on the street, but then again those were the terms. If this all took place now, I'm sure he would sue for the rights to his name and image back.

Thanks for the list!

PSS#2, we give a shit. And we dont pollit.

Mary Lou...I got more here then I got from the damn friend who witnessed me swallowing it! Thanks, Pie People!
And yeah...KFC does not taste the same!

Pamela SS#2,
Geez! Now you've given a whole new meaning to the #2 in your name.
Posted by: Sadie - Sorry, I just had to say it. Actually, I truly hope the crown did not cause internal damage and your new dentist will be a good one. | 30 January 2012 at 02:10 PM
Granted it is NC, but isn't that testing an invasion of privacy or did you request it?
Posted by: Jane | 30 January 2012 at 02:15 PM
Jane. Insulting everyone in NC since 2012.

The story is horribly true PSS#2. Very disturbing!
And why is no one bugging June about her weekend date that lasted 2 days?

Ole Camilla looks like she's been dragged through a few tight Royal Passages.

How did my date last two days? My date was not with Tall Boy...
Posted by: June Gardens | 30 January 2012 at 02:22 PM
Yeah well the work rules are a little different that here in the People's Republic...just sayin

My medical results will go only to me, not my workplace.
Posted by: June Gardens | 30 January 2012 at 02:28 PM
I know I started drinking early this morning, but did you not have a date on Saturday night that took you into the wee hours Sunday morning? To me, that counts as 2 days...
Posted by: Deb who needs to live through other people's dating life. | 30 January 2012 at 02:29 PM
Ohhhhhhh! Yeah. True. Okay. Technically I had a two-day date. Sort of. But I promised I would not talk about this guy, remember? Good date, tho.
Posted by: June Gardens | 30 January 2012 at 02:30 PM
Deb, there was a Saturday date (with RUBEn?) and a Sunday outing with Tall Boy.
Posted by: Letha | 30 January 2012 at 02:32 PM
Promises, promises. Since when did that stop people from bugging you for details? Glad to hear it was good. At least we have that tiny crumb to hold onto.
Posted by: Deb who needs to live through other people's dating life. | 30 January 2012 at 02:35 PM
I will add: The date: Cannot complain. I know, right? Its like you were a fly on the wall.
Posted by: June Gardens | 30 January 2012 at 02:36 PM
Pamela SS#2 that story is on the front page of MSN today. Hope your appointment today goes well!!

Horse poop/manure out on the trail we always called road apples....really confused the kids.
Posted by: another M | 30 January 2012 at 02:47 PM
BAH!! No June the story of the dentist who used the paper clip.
Posted by: Heather P | 30 January 2012 at 02:49 PM
Are you and Talu in agreement that her shi*t doesn't stink?
Posted by: Laurie | 30 January 2012 at 02:51 PM
And June, can we go ice skating on your forehead yet? How is the poison working? Why is no one following up on these important issues? I rely on them so I don't have to post!
