The Shed 13

Hi Mate! Same to you!

CC, here's a pic I just took with my laptop's rather crummy camera. This is one of my favorites bears, so he's still on his chair in the living room. I believe he's a Schuco (from Germany) and around 1950 or so, but might be older. All original, with glass eyes, mohair "fur", velvet pads to paws and feet, and with a working growler.

He won't be packed in a box. Will stay here until we have to move out, then ride in the car with us to our new home.

The people in the restaurant put the hat on my head and started singing. This one guy's hat was broken and the brim kept moving around while he sang. It was hilarious.

a reply to: Timely

That would be a sombrero. It's a Mexican hat.

H3llo to all here. Thankyou.

You are the nicest sheddites ever! I'm honored to be amongst you.

a reply to: LuXTeN

It's your turn to get the beers in LuX!

JustMike, LOVE your bear and the little one with him as well! I have some nice teddy bears too. I have one little stuffed one that is a faery bear and has these little antenna thingies and colorful wings. lol I have regular size and really small stuffed bears and bunnies, a few angel ones with wings even. Must nurture the child within I always say.

The dishwashing gloves were one of the items they sell at the pet store for pet hair removal. I knew they had something rubber, but couldn't remember what. You can also pet your furry friend with it to remove excess hair too. With long haired pets it is important to groom with a good comb or brush so they don't get matted though. I had long haired cats and it was quite the grooming sessions we would have. After brushing them, I used the nicely scented pre-moistened towlettes and wiped them with that. They looked and smelled so good after.

Hello Timely! I'll have a couple of kahluas and coffee with you! That was one very weird song! LOL

Skiddy, love seeing that pic and how happy you look! The guy singing with the flopping broken hat cracked me up! I bet it was even funnier if you guys had drinks! Ahahah!

LuX, so nice to see you again! You are one of us now. It's just that easy, you show up, start posting and you're in.

Gordi, it's beers today? Maybe we could have a teddy bear picnic and bring beers. Bears and beer. Don't mind me, I need more coffee.

Sending love to all Sheddites, missing Sheddites and lurkers.

Hello everyone.
I hope all are feeling and doing well on this fine Sunday.
It is one of my rare Sundays off from work today.

It a fit of relaxation I decided to post something in the short stories section.
Just one of my trivial poems that I write.
Nothing controversial.
Or so I thought.
It seems immediately after posting it I was accused of ripping off Socrates.
I wish I was that intelligent.
I know the saying of "great minds think alike."
But in this case it was just a dumb coincidence.

The real point is no matter what I post to this site (with the exception of the Shed)
Trolls, smart-alicks, know-it-alls, wise guys, and just plain goofy people rush to respond.
Of course there are some nice folks.
And I always enjoy good humor and am more than willing to laugh at myself because I don't take myself serious.
But basically, because I seem to always regret posting anything to this site anymore I think I'm done.
Not with the Shed.
The Shed brought me to Ats in the first place.
But no more contributing to other threads.
It's not worth the grief.
Some of the stuff I've had to defend or explain I must confess I've posted on other sites.
(I actually have several websites in addition to contributing to others.)
It usually is received well and understood for what it is.
Here...not so much.
So I'm going to my chair in the Shed.
I'm having a drink.
And confining my writing to here.
(With one exception being the thread I use to compile my Shed stories.)
Just wanted to get that off my chest.
You may now proceed to ridicule and troll me.
LOL!!

I didn't have drinks but I wasn't sober at the time, if you know what I mean lol.

a reply to: Errollorre

Listen my Shed brother...

I enjoy your poetry and furthermore, Tom

they can just deal with it!

You may now proceed to ridicule and troll me. LOL!!

We love you!

a reply to: Errollorre

Tom I too have been attacked here at ATS in other threads. I sometimes will try to defend My post(s), but after a while just give up. Too many trolls here. But I will still drop a post here and there just because I feel like it at the time! Do Not stop posting in other threads just because some attack You. If You don't at least try to defend Your views, then 'They' win! And that is not good....

What Bird and Syx said.

I saw that and I laughed. I figured you would say something sweet back. LOL!

LOL
Thanks everyone for the support.
But seriously, I don't have it in me to fight for the trivial.
Anyway I have other outlets that are better suited for my material.
Now if I ever write about a mysterious paranormal phenomenon that a secret political and possible alien organization is conspiring to keep a docile and uniformed pubic in the dark about it until it can be used against them,
then perhaps a thread on ATS would be the place to post it.
(And watch the trolls. lol)

a reply to: Errollorre

LOL THAT Right there would be a Very Cool Thread!!! LMAO!!!
(High 5! Or should I say High Syx!!)

Somebody posted this on that gaming group I'm in on facebook. I like it and decided to share:


Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

a reply to: Skid Mark

Aye Aye Captain! I like that too!!
