Gee, who’d’a ever thunk that a crane collapsing would sound like that? Wow, learn something new every day! :smack:
Got the day off since my partner’s going away for a long retreat weekend so we went out to the cawfee shoppe for a mocha and bagel treat, it was nom nom. Had a nice desultory conversation and managed to make it all the way home before Himself finally had to give in and have a Mantrumsub[/sub]. :rolleyes: WTF is it with men that so many of them have to throw shit fits when they get even the tiniest bit stressed? Especially when Himself is getting stressed while complaining about a [male!] friend of his who got all stressed and then took it out on Himself? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :smack: :dubious:
Somebody needs to have the Crane of Introspection and Empathy collapse on his titanium coated head. Why does he think I tell him so often that whenever a finger is pointed it means three more are pointing back? Just to flap my annoying, bitchy woman lips I guess. Oooh, “woman lips” was probably not the best choice of expression right there, huh? Oh well, I’ll leave it for the resident Innuendo Pervs to slobber over. Men, hmmph!
Oh well, on the plus side he’s out there tackling nipple high Mujtant Ninja Papyrus Grass with a 3.75 HP Briggs & Stratton, having pridefully refused the loan of a riding mower from Man Friend Who Is Stressed And Acting Out. [Nelson] Ha ha! [/Nelson] You go, guy, that’ll teach him to piss you off! Kindly don’t have a goddamn coronary while you’re showing us all what a Tuff Guy you are–we don’t have health insurance, remember? snerk
So I’m bitchy, wanna make something of it? Well, do ya? Huh??!!
Oh, and could somebody PLEASE kick all those white chocolate freaks into Rm 304? Maybe the yaks will follow them–it smells a tad ripe in here and the gunk on the floor is less than pleasant.
doggio, I suspect all the orange kittehs that turn out to be girls are actually XXY and have vestigial harbls. This would explain much about their behavior and demeanor…
Rebo I forgot to say earlier, but crossed appendages, good thoughts and prayers for Blaze. Be sure to give him extra skritches from all his Mumper Aunts and Uncles.
gotti that looks like a cool ship. Did y’all book a state room or a standard cabin? Ain’t nuttin’ like a state room. We had a great one on our cruise. I wanna go again real bad. Mayhaps next year when we turn the big double nickle. That sounds like a reason for a cruise.
I’m back inside. Ol’ y’all know who is here and in the shower. I’ve already showered. I’m greatful for all that gunk that protects from the harmful rays but I can’t wait to wash it off when I’m through for the day. We may go back out later after the sun sets for a little commando time in the pool.
Supper tonight is steak, sallit and my now famous N.O.T. and onions. MMMMMMMMMMMM…
I’m also slightly buzzed. I made an all afternoon adult beverage. It consists of strawberry-lemonade (I thawed some fresh frozen strawberries, pureed ‘em and mixed ‘em with some frozen lemonade… ‘tis good!) and spiced rum in my big Bubba Keg [sup]TM[/sup]. I’ve been sippin’ on it and still have more than half of it left. Kinda nice to have sump’n like that on hand. Helps keep the buzz goin’. Yeah, buzz… good idea for somebody who’s fixin’ to go peel N.O.T. ain’t it? :dubious:
Ok, off to peel taters or cut off my hand. I’ll let y’all know which it turns out to be.
::backs slowly out of room keeping eyes on smarty::
li-li, just curious, do you have a fire extinguisher or was this an electrical fire? Is this the same stove as wouldn’t work before? I thought you got a new one.
And swampy has reminded me to tell rebo that all the Anachi appendages are crossed for Blaze.
It may be just title inflation, but everything on this ship that isn’t a multi-room suite is called a stateroom. Even the inside ones.
As befitting a brand-new ship that isn’t even in service yet, we’re booked on a deck that’s new to this line - The Eurodam is HAL’s first “Signature Class” ship, and one of the features unique to the class is Deck 11 - the Observation Deck. Staterooms on this deck have small balconies. Our travel agent called them “Juliet” balconies, and I believe HAL calls them “scalloped” balconies. Whatever the name, they’re mainly big enough for two people to stand outside.
The nifty thing is that people put such a huge premium on balconies big enough to set up deck chairs, a grill and a kids’ playhouse that there’s a nearly $600 per person savings on these staterooms vs the next deck down. And that’s perfectly fine by us. There are plenty of deck chairs on a semi-private “retreat” area just down the hall and nothing is above us except seagulls.
Eeeek! Glad everything is OK, LiLi. I’ve never heard of parchment paper catching fire, but I guess there’s always a first time for everything.
…and of course the cats didn’t wake up. There was no food involved (well, none for them to eat, anyway). Mine would sleep through the Second Coming unless it involves Jesus shaking a container of Pounce Treats. :rolleyes:
Speaking of fires… the one lit under some people’s asses a couple of days ago FINALLY had an effect. Interview is scheduled for Monday morning. Considering I also scored passes to a free screening of SATC followed by a VIP cocktail party that night, I actually have a reason to look forward to Monday for once!
Yay for the interview Muppet appropriate and inappropriate appendages shall be crossed.
I just thought I’d report in and say that I successfully managed to peel and slice N.O.T. and onions and still have both hands. I knew y’all were worried.
Now I shall set them to microwavin’ whilst I grill steaks. I’d put ol’ y’all know who on grill duty but… the man cannot cook a steak properly. It’s his biggest fault. I’ve learned to live with it. Fortunately for him I have no faults. It makes life so much easier.
Normally I’d be right with ya there, rigs, but today it just seems like it’d just leave one more goddamned mess for me to deal with!
Glad your kitchen ain’t torched there LiLi, because that would put quite the damper on the day I think… Mmmm, firemen… pantpant
I must say, gotti, that is a bigass boat. I like the large volumes of adult beverages going aboard, that seems like a nice thing at this moment. Where’s the pallet with your name on it?
It’s cool, pugs, being as I’m female I’m perfectly capable of differentiating between The Person Who Pissed Me Off and Another Person Who, In Spite of Harbl Ownership Has NOT Pissed Me Off. Girls can multi-task like that!
Yay you, Mahna[sup]2[/sup]! That’s a nice bit o’Firday n00z!
Tuna casserole in the oven. Daughter has just applied to be a camp counselor in Annapolis - same camp she attended about 10 years ago. It’d be a fun job, but we wouldn’t see her for 8 weeks… Her kitteh and her spousal unit won’t be too happy. But it’s $$$, so there’s that.
Tomorrow, concrete will be cut and walls will be laid out. More stuff - not sure what, but we’ll get stuff done. There’s threats of rain - hope we get some.
Hugs all around! I’m too lazy to address everyone individually, but I offer all the appropriate responses - trust me. Because I’m nice, dammit!
**LiLi ** glad everything is ok. But Yikes!! How scary!!
I need mumpers advice here. Jason’s cousin and his girlfriend are graduating this year. They are having a join graduation party. We only met the girlfriend 3 times, total, maybe. Just a hi, and we know her name basically. I don’t believe that they are getting married. Are we obligated to buy a graduation present for her?
**McUne ** - you’re never obligated to get a gift for anyone. But it would be a nice gesture to give her a small token if you can swing it. Maybe some note cards she can use to write her thank-you notes?
That reminds me - my nephew graduates tomorrow, and next month, his mom is having a graduation/18th birthday party. Guess I should get the kid something. Except, he’s a brat, and in all these years of gift-giving, I’ve gotten exactly 2 thank-you notes from him. And one came only after I said something to my mom about him never thanking us.
So, yeah…
