Since I’m driving my librarian friend around this week, she offered to take me to dinner. She was craving the tempura crab at a little Japanese place we found one night when Thai House was full. So she asked me this morning if I would like to go there for dinner. I have been dreaming of tempura crab all day. I am now wonderfully full of crab and teriyaki chicken and shrimp. There will be a mini-Dopefest this Saturday - **Tripler** , **Nawtha Chucka** , **Bear Nemo** and his wife are coming to the hockey game Saturday night. I tried to get our very own **Swampus Bearus** to attend but he has church cookin’ to do that night. The game is a complete sell-out, so it should be lots of fun. I’m excited because this will be the first time I have ever met other Dopers in real life. I am certain adult beverages will be consumed once I am finished with my Booster Club responsiblities. ---

I keep forgettin’ I ain’t at da cave, so I read the MMP then want to post and then get told I gotta sign in first. Duh! Unc is hidin’ from us. He was not at “work” (quelle surprise!) and is not answering his phone. I went to his house twice and no answer. Tomorrow is throw down time. I’ve already warned mom about this. It is put up or face whatever legal consequences there may be (can you say competency hearing?) if he is not forthright. Dammit, I did not want to bring the hammer down like this but if he wants to call my hand, well call my hand called is all I gotta say. I should have some really good stuff to say tomorrow. **Tigs** yep that’s me with the two cousin Larry’s. Hoot ain’t it! 😃 Oh and Jake staple removin’ etc. pics! Did you tell doc you were gonna share 'em on the internet? **Nava** perhaps the problem is that unc is a zombie. There’s gotta be some kind of explanation for the strangeness. **Taters** yeah me too. Like I said, plain. white. trash. **Snakes** somebody’s gotta make Irish stew and drink all that green beer! Ok, now for the list… 1. Mom now has a free antivirus in case I forgot to mention this earlier. 2. She has had lessons in how to run a virus scan. 3. Mother’s and computers are a good reason to drink. 4. There is this southern home cookin’ place called Fried Green Tomatoes Buffet. It is teh nummy! We went there for lunch and I’m still full. 5. I helped mom find a curio cabinet she’s been wanting today. 6. My BIL and I had to go fetch said cabinet when he got off work. 7. It looks great in her dining room. 8. I’ve had several beerverages at sis’s house. 9. Is anybody else havin’ as much fun as me makin’ stuff into lists? 10. Nitey nite y’all! ---

1. For **Nava** (hope you get to see this sometime soon): **Feliz, feliz en tu día amiguita que Dios te bendiga, que reine la paz en tu vida y que cumplas muchos más.** 2. Is _everyone_ cutting working peeople off from the internet? 3. So, is **Opal** ever going to stop by? She’s been greeted so often at this point, she really ought to. 4. **Al** , surely you can manage to reinstate **Meli** on Thursday! That way she can make lists of her own. So when’s her birthday? 5. **swampy** , will you be having a martini this evening? Perhaps shaken and not stirred? Sorry about Uncle Marty’s situation. The two guests sound like trouble to me too. Just saw your second post. :eek: OK, not really shocked, but that’s just so sad. Uncle Marty is very lucky to have such a caring and competent nephew there to take charge and - I hope - keep his life from getting more messed up than it already is. 6. **MBG** , next time you go visit Mom, we’re all coming along. I wanna vacation! 7. I might be going to Chicago in early September. (Sometime between the 8th and the 14th.) Faraway Best Friend will be traveling there with some high school kids. I’ll try to plan things so that I have time to meet up with Dopers too. **MBG** , **rigs** , **LoW** and anyone else I’m forgetting: consider this your early warning. (Maybe Friday evening September 7?) 😃 8. **QD** , one of many many things we know about you is that you like to make lists. Tell **LiLi** we miss her. How are all the husbands? (Especially Driving, since he’s of particular interest to you.) 9. I’m tired and should consider bed. It’s much harder to respond to people’s posts when everything has been lists. But it’s amusing.

Got caught by the 5-minute window on my second edit, so: P.S. Almost forgot: cool pics **BioTigs**. It’s almost like watching TV surgery stuff (but less gross). Also, I _do_ know that the number following 8 should be 9. 😃 GT ---

Mail my credit card payment today 3. Buy socks while at the store today Things I remembered to do this week: 1. Change my clocks on Sunday 2. Get up in time to go out for pancakes on Sunday 3. Do laundry yesterday 4. Go to doctor’s appointment today 5. Buy toilet paper while at the store today Since List 2 is longer than List 1, the week is going good so far. ---

Oh man, I’d love a Chicago mini- (or maxi) Dopefest! September 7, though, may be the only day I’m NOT going to be available, though. I have a faire in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin that weekend. On the upside, hey **swampy!** Look, I said “beaver”! ---

Morning all! Excellent knee pics, **BioTigs** - makes me wish I’d still got copies of the pics from my surgeries to impress everyone with! **Kai** - hope your poorly arm is starting to heal at last, haven’t seen you around for a while. **00Ursus** - how goes the Uncle mission? Great detective work, I think you might have found your next job. Has everyone got their exams and papers out of the way? Can we do the happy dance now? I posted off my paper on Monday so it should be in my tutor’s sticky little mitts by now. I hope he likes it because it’s the last one of mine that he gets to grade. The final one goes direct to the Uni centre for independent adjudication so I hope they’re feeling charitable! We went out last night to see a band called [GWAR](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GWAR-beyond_hell-.jpg) - all I knew about them was what I’d read, never seen them before and never heard any of their music. I was just warned that we should stand well back from the stage! It was great fun, I haven’t laughed so much at a semi-serious band for ages. When it came time to leave, we saw the state of the people who’d been standing near the stage - not sure what they were covered with but it was very _red_ and some of them were absolutely drenched. I pity the cleaners, those guys were leaving a trail of squelchy footprints all the way out of the hall. Am all tired today for some reason but hopefully it’s going to be a quiet day and I can work up the energy for the usual Wednesday night beerverages. It’s a hard life. ---

Good morning! I offer my list of things to do today: 1. Finish packing. 2. Go to the Dartmouth library and withdraw _House of Leaves_. 3. Go to the ATM and withdraw _Twenty Dollar Bills_. 4. Go to the local burrito place and withdraw _Lunch to Go_. 5. Go to the train station and withdraw _To New Jersey_. I don’t want to seem withdrawn, but there you have it.

Ooooo, I can see it now! **Swamp Bear…Gay Bounty Hunter!** 😃 Cool pics, **bio tigs**! Have you scratched yet? 😉 Very busy morning with department head and one team leader out. The CEO thinks I see and know all. Tonite I get to go with The Princess[sup]TM[/sup], recently engaged, to look at bridal gowns. I am only partially enthused. While I am happy for her, I am _that mom_ who thinks no one is good enough for my daugher. Of course she does not know this. I will probably end up ruining my eye makeup because she will look so beautiful it will make me cry. That is all for now. Tupug ---
