One of my best friend’s mothers died today. She was in hospice for the last 2 weeks. She had colon cancer, mets to bone.
I am 
How terribly sad, rigs. Hugs to you and your friend.
Hugs to rigs friend.
I work too hard, and don’t play enough.
So sad to read about Harvey Korman. I always loved the Carol Burnett Show.
Rebo, thanks, I think I’ll stick to my Cheerios with banana. Maybe I’ll have some ice cream, too.
Hmmm, the Robin McKinley factoid confirms my suspicions that everyone was either born or has lived in Ohio.
I, too, like Alton Brown, although I don’t have cable anymore, so I hardly ever see him.
Took apart more shrubs, then went for a walk. Now I’m tired.
Little brother isn’t stopping by tonight after all, so I don’t have to do much more cleaning. Guess I’ll do something quick and then crawl into beddie bye.
ETA: sorry about your friend’s Mom, rigs. Good thoughts and prayers going out for all of you.
Hugs…

I’m so sorry, Rigs.
Harvey Korman’s (81) death makes me sad, too. Along with Dick Martin (84) this past weekend, and one of my Dad’s friends (83) this past weekend, too - all these old farts are passing on and my Dad is 84. :eek:
Hey, can y’all cross some appendages for my other old fart Blaze? He’s getting neutered because he has a tumor in his testicle, also having a small soft mass removed from his side, and his teeth cleaned tomorrow. He’s 12 - 84 in dog years. I’m a bit anxious about my oldest baby. : deep breath :
rigs sorry about your friend’s mom. Good thoughts and prayers headed out.
donkeybear if I weren’t so naive and innocent, I might begin to suspect you’re flirtin’ with me. 
Cool MOOOOOOM you should go to the fair and offer to autograph posters. Nobody will think that’s weird. Really. You totally should. Right y’all?
I have actually been productive. I got a lot of stuff done workwise this evenin’. Go me. Matter of fact, Ima do the same thing tomorrow from da cave. I like the fact that I can do stuff from home. I’m not real sure I’d like it everyday but a day or two a week is good.
gt AIR we had a big ol’ fashion discussion with a certain youthful bear concernin’ some really ugly plaid pants he wanted to buy and did even though we told him they were really, really, uuuuuuuuugggggggllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy!!! As a matter of fact, that’s how Sean (where the heck’s he been btw?) got his sig line. I made a comment that if even Sean, the poster child for straight middle aged white men thinks they’re ugly then they must be ugly.
Nava I don’t know why you thought I had done any lateral reproduction. The only reproducin’ I’ve ever done has been with a copier. Well, back in the day there was a mimeograph machine but I’ve put those awful times behind me now.
Ok, think I’ll go catch up on other stuff.
Rigs- my condolences…
I’ve known her since I was 16. <heavy sigh>
Thanks for the good thoughts. I went over to my friend’s house after work for a bit. She’s doing well (as well as anyone can do…)
I like Sarah Moulton (?) the chef–blonde, nice, seems down to earth. I also like Alton Brown. I don’t like Brit bad boys vogueing for the camera, any woman anywhere making love to food, rachetty ray, or pompous jackasses unintentionally lampooning William F Buckley with food. The fussier people are about food, the less I like the food AND them. We are not together to verbally orgasm over the shrimp–we are together to have conversation and enjoy the company. The food is a perk; the dialogue is essential…
Annoying Ethnic Coworker well, annoyed me today. I had a great lunch with another coworker who I like a lot, though. I was canceled for tomorrow, thank og, given that there is graduation practice, #1 son’s work after school, and #2 son being home alone if I had worked. I am seriously wondering two things:
-
when the fuck my life will slow down because I want off the amusement park ride.
-
if I can hold a FT job with #1. (yeah, I know other women do it–I’m not other women. I don’t want someone else raising my kids).
My head hurts.
I’m so sorry, rigs. Hugs for you and your friend.

I’m totally beat, maybe I’ll just crash now. falls over
Sorry for your friend’s loss, rigs, and for yours too.
Time for bed - I needs me some beauty sleep, lest I fall asleep halfway through tomorrow’s sales presentation. I get to work from a different office for the day, which isn’t as far away as the 'burbs, but isn’t quite as close as my home base downtown… Joy. If I’m lucky, they won’t have a free desk I can borrow after the presentation, and I’ll just have to “work from home” for the rest of the day. 
Had to work.

Sorry to hear about Harvey Korman. I loved him in Blazing Saddles

: punches Taters and steal the dark chocolate :
Haze, I am neither diseased, nor a yak, but I can come up with a boatload of white chocolate if you want.
Aleq, Lucretia D. Hellcat was an orange girl. That might explain her homicidal pyromania.
I was confused for a minute, because my friends call me Blaze as a nickname. :smack: Fingers crossed for your Blaze, Rebo.
doggie, I’m sorry, but you need to satisfy at least ONE of the requirements. 
Although I am a white chocolate slut, so my mind could be easily . . . changed.
I can do diseased.
My current client is the engineering division of a multinational company. Half the time you walk behind someone’s desk you get IE (it may even be work related); about 1/3 Visio and the rest seems to be equally divided between company mail, the GIS system and Solitaire.
One of the engineers was complaining about having to use Visio instead of writing things down and I wondered out loud about it; every engineer I know will take a Visio over a PowerPoint or a Word document any day of the week. Her explanation “well, I’m a female engineer!”
Nava looks down, left then right
Navaboobies still in place
Nava: “well, so am I! And you’re still the first engineer I’ve met, female or otherwise, who prefers Docs to Visios.”
Her coworkers about assploded from trying to keep the laughter in.
OK, Nooner, you don’t like flowcharts. But do you prefer a 200-page pdf to a 4-DINA4 flowchart stuck to the wall? Really? Really, really, really?
swampie, lateral reproduction means nephews and nieces. It doesn’t have to involve both; one suffices.

Hershey’s ain’t chocolate said while licking a square of dark chocolate with hazelnuts
Fingers crossed for Blaze.
T-minus four hours until I am watching the Lost season finale on abc.com while eating leftover Chinese food.
Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot!
You could have invited me over… 
Sorry about your friend’s mom, rigs.
Morning, everyone.
I think I’ll bake bread today. Ithink we’re out. Egg, cinnamon oatmeal, white, whole wheat. Freeze half as dough. Awesome.
What’s this about licking HazelNut? Would you like some (Hot) Coffee with that?
Good morning!
Happy Firday!
More caffeine required.
