  • Ahh, jealous @rat9! Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, two of my fav country music stars! They're playing the whole weekend.
    Yeah, Pahrump is a long drive from Vegas, I know. It's a lot better than living in Vegas though. Wikipedia says it was first inhabited by the Shoshone Indians, and Americans slowly began settling there in the late 1800's. Supposedly the town's name was derived from the original indigenous name "Pah-rimpi" which means Water Rock, for the large number of artesian wells in the area.

    OK, I won't bore you any longer with this history lesson.

    @bernersenn, Wolf is such a beautiful cutie pie! Congratulations on your new addition to the family.
  • He looks like he lost weight @bernersenn. But I know it's an illusion created by a skeletal growth spurt. Awww look...he has a beauty mark next to his nose just like Cindy Crawford.
  • Oops, sorry I stole your crown temporarily, @kathy. @princesspageturner
  • pahrumpf...
  • Lol @rat now you made Cindy Crawford jealous. What you said about skeleton is really true.
  • Yeah, that's who we're seeing @SweetP. Garth and Trisha.
  • I was right about something @bernersenn? Will wonders never cease?
    She has reason to be jealous of Wolf. He's a gorgeous dog now. Not like that newborn everybody said was cute. Liars, all of them.
  • Yep @rat you heard it right. Wanna hear it again "what you said is really true".
    Now having a good feeling. Made Rat happy.

    Something to mind also: in SC 1-7 I almost had a one-birder. After bird one (as in @sweetp video) a piece of debris flew into the right structure. Made it come down. But... The bolders hung on the chain without breaking it. That while the left half was cleared.
  • Ha ha ha ha ha OK
  • Yeeeesh....nope,not gonna happen. Fell asleep after dinner last night and just home after a 10hr stint today. I'm bloody shattered. Will try to read back over past pages at the weekend. Sorry:(
    One thing I did notice on my calendar (sorry again @rat) was its Canada day,so enjoy your weekend and the tennis @karen68! I know @hunnybunny will join us in that convo even though nobody else is interested ;) Remember when @sunshine put on that fabulous Wimbledon afternoon tea for us? Ahhhhh those were the days.........
    @kathy I'm writing some recipes for you. Won't have time until Sunday to get them to you though.
    Enjoy the footie @bernersenn!
    GO WALES!!!!!!!!!!!
    OK,Got to go and eat dinner before I pass out.

  • Woo Hoo!! @wolf @bernersenn he's a beaut!
  • I was looking for something like this since I joined
  • OB whatever JLZ wants, my tab, I know she's a heathen, and not interested in the single malt. @karen68 has the best stock, hidden away, which I occasionally sip...
  • Hello @the boss please read page one of the Bloated Pig to understand "the rules" There are not too many. But you do get a free drink...

    Don't think @the boss will work in here as a name. You need to remove the space

    But "Hello and enjoy"
  • Ahhhhh! Had to stick my fuzzy head in and see if Bunny was here and yes she is! C'mon Wales! What a game! Yes I'm a heathen.....hate the smelly stuff but I'll take a virtual glass of red. I'm actually sipping a green tea with mint at the moment.....rock n roll huh? Hopefully I'll stay awake till the end. With Hubby yelling I will!
    Hi @the boss No you won't get notified unless you have a non hyphen name,I'm the same. Sorry @hunnybunny but removing the space doesn't help (if that's what you meant?) Anyway Boss......Enjoy this place if you do come back in :)

  • WOO HOO!!!!!

  • Nighty night back at ya Mrs. Bunny. After the game today you should sleep well if you can keep Mr. Bunny from bothering ya. He was rooting for England, right?

    Yea! Momma's back. See y'all in a week or so. ha ha

  • @bernersenn OMG hes soooo adorable. He gets cuter by the minute.
    @kathy WASSSSSUUUPP
    @hunnybunny I think I have managed to miss you once again :(
  • @SweetP In your history lesson of Pahrump you neglected to say anything about the oldest profession. It's a no-no in Las Vegas and most of Nevada. But not Pahrump. It's still an anything goes wild west town. I lived in Vegas for four years but never made it to Pahrump. I'm sure you have since you said your son and grandkids live there. I was always curious. Are the "cat" houses subdued or big showy in your face type places like the casinos? Hopefully they're subtle. I have driven past the Mustang Ranch North of Vegas. It was run by the US government. What? You didn't know? At least they were being honest about XXXXing you there. he he Our tax dollars hard at work. lol
    Btw, not much of a ranch. It was a couple of run down mobile homes in the middle of the dessert. Yuck!

    @Gumby Wasssup?
  • @gumby Waassssupppp!!
    @All i did really well for 2 days in a row, lots of protein,, nurition shakes, even a brownie lol , that was a treat ,i Never eat chocolate,, I went shopping bought good Healthy protien filled foods, soooo i cheated for dinner (nutritionist said i could , once a week) and had pizza for dinner:)
    @Pa have a great time in Vegas and Welcome home Mrs. Pa. (thought that sounds better t then Mrs. Rat )
  • Huh @Pa what's this about my tax dollars paying for cathouses? I love cats I hope they are well fed and have lots of toys:) in Parumph ! Is that for real?
  • No, it was closer to Tonopah, NV. And they only ran it for a few weeks before a judge shut them down. He didn't think it was appropriate. Ya think???
  • OB I'll have a PigKiller please , again with sunshine 's super flinging secret potion..ty
  • Hmmm @Pa ya Ya think? Lol.. omgiraffee. Imagine where else our tax dollars go, imagine if they actually took care of stray cats, or God forbid Veterans!!! *Peeks around the bar for planted microphones" shhh i shouldn't have used the V word out loud:/
  • Too late @Ma. I'm with the secret police. Expect a visit from a representative of the Dept. soon.
  • Reading back some more , again @jlz-666 i know you won't see this, but I'll say thank you here,, and I'll pm ya, thanks for thinking of me and putting together some recipes for me:)
  • Dave Blabbing time to pretend I'm listening to my book haha
    No I'm really listening to a book heehee.. And flinging of course
  • Well, @rat9 it's not as obvious as you would think, but they are there. I don't think there are as many as before. The population has really grown since the 1990's so I wouldn't think they'd want it to be so obvious.

    We've ridden past the Mustang Ranch, on the way to Virginia City. I thought it would be an all lit up mansion! Hubby and I almost missed it, on our way up the road, had a good chuckle at what was there. Heehee.

    Here's an aerial view of the ranch: http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sweetp/album/picture/19603/
  • Interesting story:
    After losing a tax fraud case in 1990, the brothel was closed for three months and auctioned off. Conforte fled the United States and now lives in Brazil. The brothel was bought by a holding company and stayed open. After that company and the brothel's manager (a former county commissioner) lost a federal fraud, racketeering and conspiracy case in 1999, the Mustang Ranch was closed and forfeited to the federal government. That same year, the Brazil Supreme Court ruled Conforte could not be extradited.

    The ranch was auctioned off and reopened in 2005, 5 miles east of its original location, under the same name but different ownership. Wikipedia has a lot of interesting info on the Ranch, but I'll have to read it later.
  • Contrary to a popular urban legend circulated by email, the Mustang Ranch was never operated by the US government.It was operated by the Bankruptcy Trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court on behalf of the United States Government
  • you lost me @sweetp lol, is that a pic of where you are going on vacation? is it in Nevada ?
    On the outskirts of Las Vegas?
    It's too late I'll have to read back through to catch up with the whole story:/
    O.k listening to my book for real Night night all , everyone enjoy your vacation and trips, dietary
    Someday I'll go somewhere on a vacation besides the dentist lol

    Night
  • Nighty night @Pa ♡ enjoy Las Vegas and the concert
    night
  • Tomato Tuhmater @SweetP. Run by the Gov't...run by a trustee for the Gov't. Not much difference. According to Wikipedia, after the bankruptcy, the original owner bought it back under an alias. Sounds like a real estate deal they would teach at Trump University. Oops, sorry @Ma.
    I must be confusing the Chicken Ranch and the Mustang Ranch. I don't remember anything as nice as in your picture. It literally was a couple of broken down mobile homes parked close together. Nothing like Dolly Parton's Best Little W____ house in Texas. More like Bates Motel in Psycho. ha ha

    Where'd you dig up that song @Ma. I haven't heard it in a month of Sundays. They're coming to take me away...haha.

    Who is this @hunnybunny Gareth Bale keeps telling me about? He sez he went to the school she made famous. ha ha
    Yes Mrs. Bunny. We heard you the first time. Btw, who's Gareth Bale? ha ha
  • @Burpie Rumor has it that you have dropped to third place in Space. Tell me it ain't so. You were the one guarding my drawbridge to the castle.
  • @karen68 Yes, I remember the Wimbledon tea! At a lake cottage without ESPN this weekend, so no live tennis :-( Pretty amazing match going on with Novak and Sam Querrey, hope the rain lets up so they can finally finish.
    Fireworks here tomorrow night, shot from a sandbar that is straight out from the cottage. Fabulous view.
