Afternoon all. Got home with a very sleepy HRH about 2 hours ago, and she is out like a light. Hubby was left at home to sleep, only woke up at 11:30am, but has just now, at … checks watch … 3pm (shortly before HRH is expected to wake up) decided he needs to go back to sleep. :mad: Grrrrrr!!!
{{{Smartie}}} Good luck with job-hunting.
The “evil of two lessers” approach. That’s the way I usually do it.
I think it’s time to think about closing the window at night. It was chilly chilly in here this morning and I don’t want Bobbye Froggye to freeze. She’s a warm-climate froggye.
Off to take Zelda to the vet for the third time this week. She has a case of heartworms starting, so they wanted her under observation today when they start her medication. :smack: This has not been a good week to be a Zelda. Somebody’s going to go bye-bye-inna-car to the river tomorrow for splashing around purposes. It’ll cheer her up.
And no, I’m not throwing her in the river. We’re going walkies by the river. She likes to splash around in the water. One day I need to take her to the beach.
So you’ll be home around 7 AM tomorrow when I come through town on the way to Kinston? I promise I’ll honk and wave.
I am filled with grrrrrr. I took an ambulance call last night, and my emergency light would not work. Just now, I checked the fuse panel in the Foomobile, and the fuse is blown for the cigarette lighter. There’s a hard earned dollar I must now spend.:mad: I’ll be really torked off if I replace the bad one, and the new one blows right away.
Since it is now October, the hand sticking out of the trunk of my car has reappeared for the month. 
{{{Smartie}}} Here’s hoping you get the 911 gig. That way I can razz you incessantly.
Happy Firday, Mumpers!
I’m bored already. Only 8-1/2 hours to go…
Heh. 
I was just thinking this too. It’s going to be a loooong day.
GT* I will take Monday if no one is signed up.
*There. That should get your attention.
Isn’t that the way it always is? This is only my 3rd presidential election, but so far they’ve all been cases of picking the least repulsive candidate. :rolleyes:
Hey, I’ve been there! My family went to Toronto in '97 and we went to the shoe museum!
Also, I like your idea of spiked hot chocolate. I usually use Bailey’s, and I’ve tried Godiva’s chocolate liqueur before but I haven’t had Starbuck’s. Does it have caffeine? I wouldn’t want to add caffeine to my relaxing just-before-bed treat!
I’m taking a half day today so I only have 3 1/2 hours to go!
LiLi, how dare you have a life outside the Dope. Hmph. I’ll forgive you this time… but don’t let it happen again.
taxi, I just add a splash of the Starbucks to my hot chocolate, so I’m guessing that even if it did have caffeine, it’s not a large enough amount to keep me from sleeping. (not last night, anyways… I conked out almost right away) It’s probably one of my favourite liqueurs… it’s like Bailey’s met Kahlua, and they decided to make delicious babies together. I mix it into hot chocolate or coffee, or just drink it over ice.
Sorry about the fuse in the Foomobile, Vundie. That blows. Hope it won’t be too expensive to fix.
Pun intended? 
Oh, God.
Mr. Lissar just got an email from my SiL (whom you may recall I despise), saying that his brother has been threatening to kill himself for the past two days, because she said she doesn’t think that she and the kids want to live with him, and that after he threatened suicide she started an argument with him about car payments and child support. Which may be valid but is fucking horrible.
So we’re going into family emergency adrenaline mode. We’re not sure if there’s anything useful we can do, but Mr. Lissar’s thinking about driving down to Napanee, with or without me and Nat.
Fucking hell.
{{{{{LiLi}}}}}
Too bad my clue X 4 won’t fit through the CD drive. It needs to be administered to your SiL. Repeatedly. With vigor.
You don’t kick the guy when he’s down.
{{LiLi}} What a mess. 
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s much to be done in the situation as far as you and Mr Lissar are concerned. I mean, killing SIL would probably solve a lot of problems, but it tends to cause a lot of problems too. And praying for a convenient “accident” to befall her would be horribly unchristian, albeit tempting.
However, since I’m already horribly unchristian, I do believe I’ll start praying for that “accident” on your behalf.
Thanks. Appreciated. 
All right. Coming down from stupid haze of rage.
Deep breathing.
{{{LiLi}}}
I have a board with a nail in it you or Mr. Lissar can use to explain good sense to SIL. I’ll even add a dose of tetanus to it, no charge.
Zeldadog was very happy to be at the vet. She gets treats at the vet. She jumped all over the vet tech when they came to get her.
Did you know they make dog Pill Pockets? Now I’ll have the cat and the dog trying to get to the top of the fridge. Speaking of, I sent away for a free sample of Greenies cat dental treats a while ago and they came in the mail this week. I gave Petercat a few and he gobbled them up. I put the bag on top of the fridge, thinking he wouldn’t get it. A few minutes later I heard a “CRASH rattlerattle” from the kitchen. The bag was on the floor with teeth marks in it. I had to put it in a ziploc and hide it in the fridge so Peter wouldn’t eat them all at once. I’m starting to think that Greenies puts crack in their pet treats.
(((LiLi)))
I’m being rewarded for deciding to show up at work today. Well, my whole group. We’re getting lunch from the crazy pricey steak place on the corporate card. woo hoo I ordered a Prime Rib French Dip. It should be good.
4 hours and twenty minutes till quit o’clock then off to get a hair cut.
Morning, morning!
Craziness abounds!
First off, good luck on the job hunt, **Smartie[b/]! You mention being a truck driver. What class CDL do you have? I believe JB Hunt still has ops in Portland.
**{{{{{{{LiLi}}}}}[b/] What can I say? It sounds like your SIL needs a serious whap upside the head. It also sounds like your BIL needs to get out NOW. She’s not good for him, but he probably doesn’t see that.
I watched the debate last night. Yeah, that harpy still hasn’t changed my mind. She pissed me off royally last night.
Big hugs and smooches to all. Gotta run.
GT, I just looked through the Mumper Recipes. Was my Rabid Beaver Cake not good enough to post? :dubious:
Yeah, I know it’s old news, but I did seriously volunteer it.
{{{LiLi}}}
Happy Firday! I took the afternoon off because I could. **FCD **took the whole day off, as did daughter, and SIL was off already. They’re not here - I suspect they went out to lunch and to pick up the laminate for the kitchen cabinets. So it’s just me and the critters.
Later today, **FCD **and I have appointments to get our eyes checked - we both need new specs, if only because the lenses are so scratched up. Afterwards, we’ll go out to eat, since it’ll be late. I already told the kids they’re on their own.
Didn’t watch the debate - I made my mind up months ago. Palin only cemented my decision. Has anyone else noticed that she sounds like Principal Victoria on South Park? Plus if she can’t tell Katie Couric what newspapers she reads, well, sheesh…
Only half a working weekend ahead. On Sunday, my sweetie and I are taking my mom out for her long-overdue Christmas gift - dinner out. We wanted to take her to her favorite place, but it’s not open during the day on weekends and none of us want to be driving home late. So she picked another place and we’re meeting her at 2.
I ordered some lounging-around-the-house sweats for me and my kid, and they arrived today. Yay! I’ll be all comfy and warm!
That’s all for now.
LiLi what say we all line up and take turns hittin’ SIL with Spaz’s tetanus infected board with a nail in it.
Heh. JoeDawg’s vet gave his daddy a sample of Greenies. Said it was like crack for dogs. JoeDawg apparently does not have an addiction problem. Wouldn’t go near ‘em! Speakin’ of… he’s been surgeried (is too a word!) and is back home snoozin’ away. Think I might go over later to make sure death bacon and rice is administered in proper healing quantities. That sounds like a nanny job.
Oh, and I’m through with work! YAY!!! It’s the weekend!!!
Be careful on that long commute, bud.
Apparently I’m not folksy.
:smack:
