Road trip

Randy,
   Hahaha, Clyde needs no successor. He's done enough damage. So you are saying Laurie is not a serial killer? Are you sure you just didn't fit her profile.
   Glad you had fun not eating meat together.

Now Moni

You know she had you as her "special case" for quite some time now . Beware the visitor bringing little rubber animals....I think you are pretty safe, she's got to be able to get back in her truck first LOL Ever seen Pricilla Queen of the Desert LOL....I can say pretty much what I like because I know she can't get to me, no matter how good that truck of hers is...

Devyls Brownies...hmmmm...it's got a ring to it. Gotta copyright that, and get baking! 

[Laurie]

I swear, we didn't feed her any "brownies" here. Just some chocolate chip biscuits. Oh wait...

Well, looks like she got out of the state anyway. We got a dog in Burlington once. Maybe Laurie is bringing one for Moni. Hmm, maybe not what the doctor ordered.

We had a good time here. Counter to all expectations spawned by all these good folks here, Laurie was actually a gentle and gracious guest. Give her enough WiFi to satisfy the needs of her 50 pound gaming "laptop" and she is happy. Sorry we're vegetarians here Hope her legs are recovering from our hike "around the block" (kinda big blocks out here in the sticks).

    Hi folks,

  I made it to my friends place in Mizzeri. My pickup has decided to rest here for several days. I made it here in girl mode so that makes this the longest continuous time I have been in girl mode.

  I want to thank Jane for meeting me for lunch and a couple hours of good conversation with our food. Thanks to Jane's presence, I was able to relax and ignore the fact that I was dressed appropriately as myself in a restaurant full of strange people and enjoyed my time with her. I did notice a lot of the diners were looking in my direction, (there was a TV showing some sporting event behind me) but only one woman looked directly at me and smiled. Whete she did this because I was a diad or just another diner I have no idea. No one that I noticed stared or said anything that I know of. We we just two other diners. It was a nice lunch. Thank you Jane.

  I also want to thank Randy and her lovely wife, two quiet and gracious people that opened there very nice home to me for a very pleasant visit. These are two very nice people who are very in tune with each other. The view they have is as beautiful in daylight as it is spectacular at night. I cannot recall ever being served an intentionally  "vegetarian" meal until visiting Randy and his wife. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious consisting of many different vegetables and fruits and tasted very good. Watching Randy and his wife preparing the meals was interesting to see. I do not thing I have seen two people more in sync with each other, complementing each others efforts to put together the meals with little need for conversation.
  Both are talented accomplished people and I fear I overwhelmed them with my incessant inane talking. I was hopeless out classed by these two yet they made me feel very welcome in their home.  Thank you Randy and better half.

  The rest of the trip to Missouri would have been uneventful had I not locked myself out of my truck. There is one distinct advantage men have over women... Pockets! Had I been traveling in male mode this would not have happened. My wallet would have been in one pocket and my keys in another. I also probably not have been locking the doors because my purse was being left inside the truck.
  I had plannned on paying at the pump, pumping my gas, and driving off down the road again. Locking the keys inside with me on the outside sort of put a crimp in those plans. So there I was having to perform the classic damsel in distress play in real life. How embarrassing! Having to go inside and explain my predicament to  one person who led me to another that dialed a phone for me so I could get the locksmith to come unlock the truck. I explained he would be looking for a woman and described my pickup for him. I then went back outside after thanking the people that helped me and waited beside the truck in the very busy gas station until he arrived and let me back in. It was not the kind of real world female experience I was looking for. *sigh*  But as you can tell I survived it.

  Beware Moni... I am 2/3 of the way there.  You have several days to worry before I continue.

Hugs,
   Laurie

[HappyMoni]

I find myself wishing Laurie was a vegetarian, I would be just a little less nervous.

Liz, where did you get that Imogee, it is so reassuring.

Moni

Somebody please feed the traveling cannibal meat before she gets here!

[Shy]

Lol. Laurie your last post sounded like an Oscar speech.

You certainly deserve one girl for your new road movie I hear it's going to end with a vegetarian zombie outbreak as Michelle's amateur radio club starts broadcasting a message for everyone to head for Liz's safe zone in Australia. Moni Moni's genetically modified squishy critters have gone feral it's been reported......oh the suspense

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

  Hi Liz,
   
    I too like the emojies. Yes you and Sara are safe..... for now  (note to self- look into getting a passport)

   I'm not worried about Cylde. Rumor is he'll be put out of his mizzery before I arrive. The other ferocious critters don't bother me either as I am sure they are fictitious and created in an effort to derail me from my intended purpose for a visit to that woman.

   No such luck Mani umm Tony?  oh right moanie.  Two vegetarian meals does not a vegetarian make.  I'm carnivorous.

Lol. Laurie your last post sounded like an Oscar speech.

Sadie

  Thanks Sadie, I did have to put a little thought into it.  I thought it was rather good myself.


Well ,I have a choice to make.  Put my hair back on and go fishing in girl mode or wash my face and change into guy mode.  I did forget my guy socks.... Decisions decisions.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

Keep your wig on!!!!! You trying for a fish supper? When I do my road trip next year I can go visit the UK girls for you, I do biscuits as well. Sounds like you are having a good time (keys in purse and bag in hand). You been eying up the road kill for a Barbie?

[HappyMoni]

Well at least I am safe from Davina. I was a little concerned with that welding torch of hers.

'that woman' you say? Well that's the closest you have come to my real name in a while. I do have a question. You are on a road trip right? How do you get any driving done and still post on all 8 of your threads. I am waiting for the 'I locked my key in the car thread.'

Compared to locking your keys in the car, this a makeover is going to be a walk in the park, in your case we should also send a carer to make sure you don't get lost in the park and they could probably help you when you need to take that jacket off that does up at the back with the arms that wrap around you and ties in the back... Problem is I think they are only made for straight people 

[Rayna]

Laurie,

Enjoy the fishing.  I've heard that fish are afraid of men.  Just sayin'.

  Hi Davina,

      So you are volunteering to be my surrogate in the UK and take care to those across the pond for me  are you?  Sounds like a plan...
    Sorry, no fresh road kill seen yet. And yes I am having a good trip so far. I did change to guy mode and went fishing. We did pretty good today and brought home 4 fish the best of which were a 7 pound Walleye I caught and about the same size cat fish Jim caught. They've been filleted for eating later.

My Dearest Moanie,

    How am I keeping up with the threads I can while on the road?  Why I pull off the road at the nearest exit occasionally so I can check on what terrible things you are saying about me while I'm busy driving.  That way I can keep an eye on not only you Loni but my other friends also. I'm sorry to have to tell you this dear, but you are not my whole world. I mean like the other seven ladies I am trying to meet this trip. You're just one of my pack of admirers. You'll have to get in line for my attentions. There is a good chance you'll wind up being the last one I meet with provided I can find the time.

  Love you dearly Nonni or whatever,
  Hugs,
      Laurie

    Hi Liz!!

  I thought you might have gotten lost or held captive for final clearing at your electrologist.
  Yes, locking my keys in the truck was traumatic and I thank you for your concern over my welfare. Though it was a rough patch they did not have to deploy "the jacket". I've been behaving for so long now that I almost miss hugging myself in that jacket. btw if you haven't tried the padded room yet I highly recommended it. I wish they would change up the decor though, stark while just isn't esthetic at all, but the room itstelf is so soft and plush one just cannot hurt oneself and you can sleep anywhere in it.
   I'm sorry Liz, your keyboard must be acting up again as I couldn't quite make all what you were saying out again. Was it something about enjoying the majestic views? I could see it started with an "m" but the rest was pretty garbled.

  Well I hope all is well there with you down under. btw Have you heard from Cindy recently?

  Hugs,
    Laurie

[Laurie]

Laurie,

  Hi Randy,

      Jim and I did enjoy the fishing. I should have worn my bikini top so I could work on proper burn lines. My neck is sun burnt, as are my arms, and lower legs. I can feel it today. My feet are bruised from walking on the rocky creek beds not to mention my legs are sore from all the uneven ground walking. If I had worn my swim suit I would have been more appropriately dressed for the swim across the river to retrieve a hung up lure.
   Oh yeah the fun part... We did catch several fish consisting of perch, sunfish, catfish, bass, white bass, and a walleye. We kept one catfish Jim caught that was about 7 lbs, the walleye I caught also about 7 lbs and 2 of the white bass. The two biggest fish were 24-25 inches. All the ones we brought home have been filleted and frozen for later meals. So it was a fun, tiring, productive day.
    We ate BBQ rib steaks with mashed potatoes an string beans cooked with bacon. So far I've had to cook my own brunch yesterday and today for Peggy and myself. ( they don't get moving early enough for a breakfast. This morning was a scramble with eggs, bacon, chorizo, sliced onion and rainbow bell peppers. I think I spoil Peggy when I visit as she doesn't eat breakfast usually.
    What's on the agenda for today I don't yet know. It going to be another warm day up about 90 degrees so this afternoon will probably be another river trek with fishing poles. I'm going to need a vacation to rest up.

  Hugs,
   Laurie

[Julia1996]

I'm glad you are having fun Laurie and I hope the rest of your trip is fun too.😊

[Laurie]

I'm glad you are having fun Laurie and I hope the rest of your trip is fun too.😊

Thank you Julia,

  Yes, it's being mostly fun so far. Maine is only about 1600 miles further down the road but It'll probably be well over 2000 miles before I get there if I go up the upper peninsula of Michigan to say hi to a cousin on the way. Moni is only 1200 miles ....  I could be there in a day...

I hope you are doing well also Julia.

Hugs,

Liz,
   I love how the crazy one on here started as me and has migrated to Laurie. Glad you see it too. Keep up the good work. I will have my butterfly net ready if she ever gets here. She stops at every exit to see who is talking about her. Classic paranormal, that one!
Moanie       Dog gone it she has me doing it now!     Moni

So you admit you have other targets beside me. Watch out girls, and for heaven sake hide her keys. It seems to slow her down.

Sounds like Missouri has been great so far! So glad you are enjoying the visit with your friends & had a successful day of  fishing.

  Moni moani moanknee,

    I do have other ladies to meet with, yes. But you, my dear, are my only target.... so far. Now if I possessed a passport......
