Blurf. Morning. Thunderstorms all today, according to the forecast. That should keep things cool. And yes, they are also allergic to eggs. They went to France in March, and ate lot of duck and vegetables, and drank lots and _lots_ of wine. ---

Morning, mumpers! Yes, it is still morning here but only for another half-hour. So far I’ve done very little that’s productive, I’ve been busy sorting out things for Tin Knickers because she’s incapable of looking in filing cabinets for things despite the fact there’s only one place to look and all the stuff is in alphabetical order. Then I had to hunt around on a colleague’s desk for something that I only vaguely know what it’s like so I think I found it but I could be wrong. Handover notes? Priority? Oh, silly me. I must go and photocopy something now. It’s urgent. Last night was [beerverage](http://www.burtonbridgebrewery.co.uk/Bridge/Beers/Battle.shtml) night, and jolly nice it was too. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. In a bit I’ll get busy on the pile. I also will need to get gussied up for funeralizin’ and all. Ick. I also need to go to the sto’ for stuff for this weekend. If I had sense, I could have done all that last night whilst I was runnin’ all over town buyin’ water but nooooooooo… I have to go _yet again_ to buy stuff. Oh well, one of the things I need to do is a beer run and a beer run is always a worthy cause. 😃 Hugs, yays, boos, trout slaps etc. as needed. Later Y’all! ---

So far, **swampy’s** shopping sprees have run to water and beer. Is it any wonder he needs so much TP to keep up with it all? ---

Morning? What? Where? It’s 2:30pm and I feel like I need a nap! Just tidying up my desk, clearing my internet cache and shredding incriminating documents - a nice way to end the week! ---

**Phil** - I’ve seen Weird Al in concert - a few years ago. That was an amazing multimedia show. Complete with costume changes (he wore the _big_ suit for “Fat”). You’re good to let daughter (and her husband I’m assuming) have a night out like that. I am playing hookey today. So there. ---

Both kids feeling under the weather, still. This was their second week of camp, and they’ve missed most of it. ☹ This was supposed to be _my_ second week of no kids, getting work done, and I’ve missed most of it. ☹ So there, I’ve whined. Gotta go check on the kidlets and see how they are. ---

I am here. I ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep, total. And that was broken up too. So I am a bit loopy. Whee! I would have called in sick, but we have a board meeting this morning, and I have to be there. Be back after the meeting! ---

I’m here, too. And today is Firday for me, so it’s all good! I have to do something I don’t know how to do today. I hate that. Sometimes learning sucks. I’d just rather have an easy day, ya know? So ReboSon did well on his GED test, and today he’s going to take a test at the Community College to see what remedial classes he might need to take WHEN HE STARTS SCHOOL IN THE FALL! I am overflowing with pride for him. He’s _finally_ growing up and realizing that he needs an education to have the future he wants. 🙂 I better go figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do. Have a great day, Mumpers! (And I’m sorry I haven’t officially welcomed you back, **Meeks**. Welcome, and stick around! We’ve missed you!) ---

Morning Mumpers. I’m up and caffeinated. I may do laundry today, and get a haircut. NHL scedule comes out today. W00T! Yay for **Reboson**! {{{{ **Soapy** }}}} Yay for your last day, **Dotty**! Incriminating to you or bad boss? I’d keep the later ones. Looks like a good brew, **BooFae**. Yay for quiting time [color=purple]Haze[/purple]. Hope you have sweet dreams of hookers and blow tonight. 😃 ---

Good morning everyone. I’m here at work, but this morning’s commute was truly annoying. There were the left lane vigilantes and the “no-place and all damn day to get there folks” to contend with. There were the “oh noooo, you’re not passing me so I’m going to speed up folks” and of course there were just the general assholes who couldn’t find their way out of a three foot driveway. :mad: :rolleyes: Ah well, I’m here now and I need to finish my project up so I can start the next one. I guess I should get to it. Thank goodness today is my Friday. ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] Thanks, but those are the ones I have bookmarked–I think she has more recent ones that aren’t showing up? 😕 or maybe I’m crazy. Definite possibility there. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I forgot to add that to the memories. Fixed now. I swear, the first thing I do when I graduate is make the snark into its own real live very own blog a la the Comics Curmudgeon. ---

[QUOTE=phil417] This is the most recent MMP. Cool. Wierd Al Yankovic is playing at Chessaning tonight. My daughter is a big fan of his, so I purchased tickets a while ago. As said daughter had her 1st child (my 2nd grandson) a week ago Saturday, we (my husband & I) are babysitting our grandson. I admire dopers who know how to post pics. I don’t; my husband is still figuring how to work the viewfinder on his camera. Has anyone else seen Wierd Al Yankovic’s concert? Any comments? Love, Phil [/QUOTE] I saw him in Myrtle Beach about four years ago. Magnificent show. It was the Poodle Hat tour, so he threw a glass of water on the crowd.
