There I go again, missing an MMP and getting hopelessly behind! No good reason, just taking a quiet time out yesterday. Yes, it’s getting chilly! We’re currently at 45Ferrets with a predicted high today of 65F. It’s sunny but not warm. I’m fine with these temperatures, but I know many aren’t. I spy a low of 35F sneaking in on Friday. Some responses to last week’s MMP: **wet one** and **52** , Ariel is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the photos! **metal mouse** , if you want me to edit your post to delete the details of the legal action in the last MMP, please just let me know. I’m sorry this is happening to you. No good deed goes unpunished, eh? **J-Bats** , you’re a good neighbor. I hope the folks got home all right. > [@(Old) Gobble, eh? A Metric Thanksgiving MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-gobble-eh-a-metric-thanksgiving-mmp/1033772/291): > > OMG I frequently think about/hear that laugh in my head but no one ever gets my “Muttley” reference!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one! 😃 > [@(Old) Gobble, eh? A Metric Thanksgiving MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-gobble-eh-a-metric-thanksgiving-mmp/1033772/289): > > If your lovely wife meant last weeks game that Ducks quarterback was Dylan Raiola, who was Nebraska’s starting quarterback for several years until he jumped ship to Oregon for more NIL $$$ and fame. I wouldn’t put it past him to throw a game but I can’t figure out what his goal would be. That it was Raiola who scored the touchdown against his old team that cinched our loss was bitter, acrid salt rubbed into the wound. Sigh… Oh. Ouch! I’m not able to watch the games unless I’m willing to bestir myself to go to the local dive bar charming tavern, so all I can do is look up the particular game and refresh my browser a few times to see current scores. Your detail does help fill in context, so thank you! Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if the Ducks lost to the Huskers – their season is already pretty meh. > [@(Old) Gobble, eh?

That dish is too much work to not turn out well. **52** , I completely agree! It’s not that much more work to make the noodles. I think I’ll go back to my original methods next time I’ve got lasagna on my mind. Which will probably be at least 5 years from now. **Taters** , your plans for today sound like a nice day. Enjoy it! **Nut** , I vote for snarky response. Such cluelessness warrants a leash yank. Sorry for the pigeon problems. Great Sadie pic, **cookie**. No matter what the impetus. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > do you scrape all the wet ingredients out of their containers Scraper. Almost OCD about it. **JtC** , I, too, am sorry to hear about James. He must be so miserable. I am sure your visits are the high point of his days. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > You will probably be disposed You probably meant deposed, right? 😉 I do hope so! * * * So last night as I was buttoning up to go to bed, I saw the battery on my laptop was at (!!!) 1%. Since the lapper is always plugged in, I deduced that the battery has died. Called my computer guru and am awaiting a return call to find out when I can get it replaced. Gone are the days when one can simply purchase a replacement battery, pop out the old one and shove in the new. Now it requires a full deconstruction of the machine. This machine is nearly 6 years old, so not unexpected. Meantime, I’m gingerly using it so as not to accidentally dislodge the plug to the adapter. No real plans until later on this week, to meet a friend for lunch and drop my ballot. Wednesday at the latest if I don’t have a reason to go near a drop box before that – and I might, depending on when my computer guy can get a new battery in. A bacon, spinach and cheese omelet for breakfast this morning, I think, with a couple of clementines and an English muffin. That should hold me till dinner, when I must knock out another portion of that lasagna. The rest is in the freezer, so I won’t have to endure it again for awhile. Ollie is snoring away next to me, having had his breakfast, pottied and a brief scamper around the place. Also a rousing game of Boo Ollie, which he loves. It involves me shrieking, “Boo, Ollie!” as he does zoomies all around the house until he tires himself out. This passes for fun in our lives. 🙂 Have fabulous days, all! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-chilly-well-to-me-mmp/1033962)._
