A Labor Day Belated Birthday BBQ – The MMP

He’s lucky. The bad new about CPR is that you have a happy ending about 25% of the time. :eek: :frowning:

What would that patch look like? Do you go around wth panties stuck to your arm?

I know. I was thinking about you ever since hearing about this, too – yet another opportunity to thank you for your work (even if it’s nowhere near where I am)

Damned timeout.

I’m hungry and THIRSTY! No caffeine, either!! :mad: :mad:
I’m on the 12 hour nothing by mouth, and I have to be at the horsepistol at noon for a 1415 show time. This is driving me bug nuts… :mad:

I am mostly hating the web today. Specifically, I am hating my web pages and the ridiculous package we use to work on them.

VBob - hope all goes well with the alien extraction, and you manage to hold on to your big nuts!

Appropriate yays, boos, hugs and chocolate to those that need, and extra good wishes for folks with Teh Sick and stuff like that.

I am so looking forward to the pub tonight. Must remind 'im indoors that Hungary doesn’t have pubs like we do and he’ll be hard pressed to find a decent pint of Adnam’s Broadside over there.

No drinking even? For a hand operation? I suppose there’s a good reason, but to me it sounds like they’re just being mean to you! :frowning: Or is this being done under General? (which would explain the fasting requirement, I guess.)

Good luck! Get back here fast – we’ll know that means you’re back to normal, because you can type again! :slight_smile:

I’m getting a nerve block and enough Valium to make me stupid(er). I don’t even have a normal stomach, so emptying it is insanely fast and easy.

This is more evidence of the vast conspiracy to piss me off. A conspiracy that grows by the hour.

That’s what I thought. I’m blaming my lack of memory on the party. And jet lag from the change in time zone between FL and here. Yup, that must be it! :stuck_out_tongue:

mmmmmmm, the kitty is beautiful. I really want another kitten! Oh well. I’ll just have to go home and squeeze my full-grown cat and pretend she’s a kitten.

After a week of sleeping really well, I’m having trouble falling asleep again this week. So now I’m all tired and groggy this morning. Bleh.

Why is it that the thing you’re looking for is always the one thing that has disappeared from your house/apartment/office/desk just at that very moment? You know it was there just 5 minutes ago. But now it’s completely gone. Grrr! (And no, I haven’t stuck my pen behind my ear and forgotten it’s there. I’m not THAT tired!)

An unsquee alert: the fosters are about to lose a third kitten. I dug the newest hole in the cat garden for it while I still have a working hand. The kitty will be gone by the time I get home this evening, but I can bury it one handed.

:frowning: , and I don’t even like cats.

It’s morning, and today I meet my midwife. I hope I can find the clinic. It’s in an area of the city I don’t usually visit (because it’s not walkable and doesn’t have neat ethnic grocery stores)

A nifty thing happened to me last night at work. I was reading a new book called The Film Club, by a Toronto author. It’s about his decision to let his son drop out of high school. He and his son watched three movies a week (which he picked) over the course of the rest of the high school years.

Anyway, it’s good, and well-written, and the kid eventually forms a rap group with some other friends. And I’m thinking, “That band name sounds awfully familiar. Corrupted Nostalgia. Isn’t that the band Mr. Lissar’s godbrother is in?”

So I just looked them up, and behold, I was right. That’s neat. I was reading a book about the music partner of a kid I know really well. Cool little coincidence. That and knowing Malcom Gladwell’s parents are my only claims to celebrity.
Time for tea, chores, and thinking about buying a dress for Attacks Husband’s wedding next Wednesday.

LOUNE I’m calling out you. You need to tell all the MMPers what you did this weekend and what you won. If you need a hint, it’s about Halo. And no, not the imaginary halo on your head.

VunderKind would be jealous…

They’re not interested in my complete and total mastery over another website in a video game.

Or in the fact that I get the game’s sequel for free now because I am a Bad Man ™.

Are you trying to steal all the ™’s?

Morning, all. When I woke up this morning, something was really wrong with poor Rusty – he was barely walking, head hanging down, tail tucked in, clearly feeling really awful. I’m concerned that that dead animal we found him eating last night might have been poisoned. :eek: But he hasn’t been throwing up, which is really weird. So I rushed him to the vet’s, and they’re keeping him for the day, pumping him full of fluids, and running a bunch of toxicity tests to rule out poisoning. It could also be an ear issue, a mild stroke, or even some kind of epileptic thing, but the first course is obviously to rule out toxicity. So good thoughts, please, for my sick doggie! I’m really worried about him. :frowning:

Trying to steal them…

Bah!

They’re MINE!

Aw. Poor puppy. My fingers are crossed.

Show time. Post when I get home…

Good thoughts for **Rusty ** and of course **VBob ** as well. Let us know how you are doing.

LOUNE your way too modest. Ok everyone, our own **LOUNE ** here took *first place * in a Halo2 tournament over the weekend. Winning it, he gets the Halo3 Legendary Set for free, which is valued at $130. **LOUNE ** has some mad halo skills. YAY LOUNE!

Tigs best wishes for the poorly puppy! :frowning:

Thanks for the squees for Libby - she is cute and as yesterday was the first day she was left alone in the house there was no destruction so I was proud of her. When I left this morning she was running laps up and down the hallway into the bedroom chasing mousie

Hi all, I’m late to the MMP this week because I had family stuff to deal with. Nothing major, just busy work.

Appropriate Yays, boos, etc all around.

And speaking of busy work, I have a boat load on my desk. I’ll be back later.
