Hello, I would like one cappuccino, please.

Hello, I would like one cappuccino, please.

1 cappucino coming up.

no foam.

Americano style.

Here is your large black coffee

[Tiger the Lion]

I'd feel silly lounging around with a coffee while I'm still waiting for my damn cake.

[Quixilated]

Solid point.


Also, this order is wrong. I clearly ordered chai.

And cake. But not the original cake because I imagine it has expired. A new cake. A very tall cake with all the flavors.

I have chickens now, not sure why, but I love them dearly. I don't have the heart to keep them locked up all day - they are birds and they love to run free. Unfortunately, not all of my neighbors are on board with this. One in particular will park at the end of her driveway and honk until I come fetch my chickens out of her yard.

My solution is to let them out later in the day as it gives them less time to misbehave. Unfortunately, the can see me through the kitchen window so everytime I pass, the rooster starts crowing like crazy - LET US OUT! he says

and the hens start squawking. I am ducking down trying to make my way to the coffee pot . . .

My neighbor two doors down has chickens and ducks (also bunnies, dogs, and a demon cat ... but those are inside). It's technically against the association rules, but I grew up on a farm so they look homey to me. (Also, they eat bugs and I would always rather see a chicken than a bug). They are always escaping and roaming and then all her kids tumble out of the house and scramble them back into the pen.  The neighbor in between is annoyed, but I love the drama.

People definitely have different feelings about it.  My one neighbor who is the percussion director for the symphony orchestra loves them.  He said he suffers from anxiety and that the chickens are so silly they help him relax.  He orders gourmet chicken food for them off Amazon.  I am starting to grow concerned they might like him more than me . . .

So, I always knew that ellajam as ella and then one day she was Marcella(?) Did she marry somebody named Marc? And now she is wasellajam, did she marry someone named Was? I am so confused

Mr. Milo: Is that your first name? Middle? Last? Or Username!!!! All your theories don’t work because I don’t get married. Ella is part of my name, jam got added somehow, maybe there was already an Ella. And though i do live with a Mark but he has nothing to do with my given name. Was got added when I couldn’t access ellajam. Turns out it sounds sort of eastern European.    
 I have been as clear as possible, in my way, to avoid outlandish internet conspiracy theories. Why anyone would care is beyond me but they have in the past.

I don’t know why you insist on stirring up trouble. Let’s not even address NotCella.
Now move along. Dark roast, milk and sugar.

lol - yah, I was just thinking the other day (and by the other day I mean probably around 2017) when someone responded to you and was like "thanks Marcella" and I was like - WTF??

How do they get the secret name?

Probably after many heartfelt PM exchanges. I was reading today and Leanne used it on a thread, I was surprised but she knew nothing about ducking and dodging, always fully out there.

Maybe we should have added a shooting gallery for duke so he doesn't shoot up the place . . .

[Quixilated]

I thought that's what the sewer was for.  You know, when members get all "this town ain't big enough fer the two of us" and then it's pistols at dawn while the rest of us watch with bated breath to see who'll come back alive.

I haven't yet sent a heartfelt PM because I was terrified that either someone was playing a terrible joke on me or I was having a dream I didn't wanna wake from. Waiting to exhale.

 I know, the internet can be so personal and so full of land mines it gets us all jumpy. I once was asked by a close extremely antisocial friend to reach out on a local forum for him. I almost got strung up at dawn for presenting myself as someone who knew him. Took a while to convince them he was alive and to convince him to communicate directly. It all ended up happily and was worth it, but people sure got riled up about it. 
Time has passed and and without the old PMs I’m slow to remember who’s who and who I knew, it’s coming back as I read, So hi again

Oh that is exactly what the sewer is for!!  I was just making a cheeky reference to his comments about having a coffee lounge

I had a dream last night:

My neighbor (the one who doesn't like my chickens {Who isn't even technically a neighbor as she is across the street and up the road one house}) had her whole front yard flattened by a tractor and a huge garden put in and surrounded the whole thing with 8 foot tall black chain link fence. I went over to see what was going on and - sure enough - my chickens were over the fence somehow and wreaking chaos upon her garden

How did that make you feel, in the dream?

A bit panicky.  The only way to retrieve my errant flock would be to confront my rather unpleasant neighbor and discuss why my chickens were in her garden as well as discuss the damage they had caused.
