A Foolish April MMP

Morning. I’m up and caffeinated. Work at another store today. It’s supposed to be 85 and sunny today.:cool:

Spidey, my bag of hammers knows what a cookie is, when it’s time to poop, and that THE BOXER TWINS MUST DIE!

**Spidey **- will thiswork?

Way to crush his will to live, FCM. :rolleyes:

I cannot walk into a room of any size that’s being painted without getting paint on me. It’s like a superpower.

Good luck on this round of househunting, Sari.

Mom the product in your link actually does work better as a weapon than a refreshment.

Got a new computer at work yesterday. Another big screen Apple, with something called Thunderbolt. I was given the specs by our IT guys, but since we have no other hardware that uses it right now, I boiled it down to ‘a fat USB connection’ and filled it away. I’ve got more useless trivia to memorize than that.

My oldest stepdaughter is getting married in October. Her aunt and uncle (my sister-in-law and her husband) have volunteered to provide the vittles for the festivities. But they live up on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, near St. Michaels. So the wife is taking her up there the weekend of April 19th so that they can start menu planning and such. I don’t think my wife realizes that this will be Easter weekend.

I was looking for a quick & painless demise, not a slow & tasteless one.
Do you know why Coors Diet is like making love in a canoe?

They’re both f**king close to water. :eek:

Spidey when you are done with the bullet can I have it?
Now my mother is making me crazy.
I’m not even going to talk about it.
She’s going to the ocean for a week and that gives me time to think about what she wants.

Stolen from some Canadian comedian. Shame!
:rolleyes:

Not sure. But the only car lower in the social level at the time was the tiny Honda.

Now I’m going to have the whole “Two Sheds” Python routine running a loop in my brain. So much for a productive work day.

You say something like that and everyone knows you are shopping for a house. If I said that same thing, most of my co-workers would assume I’ve taken up peeping.

Good luck to you though.

I’ll kick in the 8mm Mauser, 9mm, .30 Luger, .45LC, .30-40 Krag and enough black powder to become semi-famous.

My forsythia hedge and cherry tree have had plant food spikes driven in at their drip lines. Yay! :smiley: I also pruned back some forsythia. I see a lot of dead branches at the end of the hedge - I should change into grubbies and do something about it. I really should. But I don’t want to.

We put a tarp over the holes in the red shed roof, just in case it decides to rain. I am so going to enjoy tearing down that shed - it’s a mess - so much rot, I’m amazed it’s still standing! We got almost a trailer load of crap, plus some metal pieces set aside to go to the metal recycling pile. The yard waste will be dragged to the back of the yard to rot away - no sense in paying to dump that when we have 2 acres perfect for rottage. :smiley:

Lunch was sliders. No idea what I’ll do for supper. Now, I just want to take a nap. I really should don grubbies, tho. I really should…

I apprently showed up an hour early for work.:dubious: So I went to Chubby Taco for lunch. :smiley:
W00T! 1st on 4!

Now, we all can, as well

Ok, I’ve been at this irk gig for a little over two years now. I inherited a mess. I knew that from the beginnin’. I spent most of a year cleanin’ up stuff. Now, I am movin’ forward with current stuff and makin’ sure it’s all good. So, why is it that over two years later I’m still gettin’ calls, emails and such about stuff that’s still not right. I’m past tired of havin’ to go back and dig into stuff from six, seven, and eight years ago and figure out how to correct stuff that, IMNSHO, ain’t even important now. GEEZ! I have an audit comin’ up at the end of April. I’m gettin’ ready for that. So, I just told my boss that anything that is not audit related or related to what I am currently doin’ as far as enrollin’ new folks, and all that will just have to wait. Surprisingly enough, she agrees and will inform TPTB that those are my priorities and my only priorities. Go Her! Go Me for lettin’ that be known!

OK, irk gripe over.

Dindin shall be some kind of takeout or sammiches. That’s all da bear can handle today. Or maybe I should take myself to soup 'n sammich over to the church house. Some deheathenization might even help.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled MMP.

Ah - fresh air and sunshine! I just pruned and raked and de-deadified the far end of the forsythia hedge. There were lots of dead branches from where we had a monster cedar removed last year, so I got most of them out. I also pulled up a bunch of seedlings that I didn’t want - there are far too many down there and it’s out of control. Now I can see what I have and decide how far back I want to trim it. I’ll wait till the blooms are done and the green starts coming in. I’m pretty sure the two biggest beasts will go away because they’re just leggy and nasty looking.

Oh, and I was out there in shorts. And I’m sweating. Perhaps, dare I say, spring really is here???

Today was day one of training the new girl. Tomorrow I make her start answering the phone. I got another cilantro and a trowel at the nearby hardware store and planted both cilantros when I got home.

I put my worm bin out on the porch after the Great Fruit Fly Infestation of ‘13 so the cold would kill all the bugs off. About a month ago I took the shredded newspaper out of it and spread it over my window garden as a kind of mulch. As I was digging in the dirt today I kept finding lil’ baby worms. I guess the ones I had laid eggs before they froze to death. That’s good to know. That means I can keep the bin outside this summer to keep the bugs out of the house.

I have grape tomatoes, penne pasta, spinach, and parmesan/romano blend. I’m going to try to make dinner out of that.

I just feel like I’m in bizarro world today.

I believe it is merely Gumby Land.

Who knew raking would make my shoulders so achy?? I didn’t do that much, at least I didn’t think I raked much. All those years at a desk are now kicking my butt! Oh, the pain, the pain…

Howdy from da cave. Ok, actually been here for a bit. Not leavin’ again so I guess it’ll be sammiches for dindin. I could saute some pepper 'n onion and toast some hoagie rolls. I have deli roast beast, turkey, and ham. Also there’s cheddar, jack, and smoked provolone cheese. That’d make for a nice sammich.

I talked myself into it! :smiley: OYKW will be here shortly so reckon I best slice up onion and pepper and get stuff goin’.

Laterz!

Eesh… My housemate’s only been away for a day, and her kittehs have already crapped on the carpet and brought in a dead magpie. This may be a long week. They never normally bother the birds at all…

Back to irk tomorrow, same as last weekend (but without the rugby); same rotten co-worker, same looong late drive. I’m the transport home again, but luckily I don’t have to bring anyone else down with me as the rest of 'em are going in the minibus. Though I know the worst one will be there, hopefully some of the other irkmates will be better this weekend, 'cos there’s less other stuff on, so some of the nicer ones may be available.

I’ve almost got my voice back, though I’m still having random coughing fits in annoying places. I need to be able to shout to be a proper 'orrible security person, this whispering just ain’t good enough.

Finally got the allotment bill from the council emailed to me, and coughed up. Hopefully that’ll be an end of it.
