Happy MMP all! Great OP, Rosie, very interesting about the plays that you all wrote and acted out. I had a bit part in our jr-sr fall play, and broke character on stage! laughs Very bad case of stage fright! Years later, I discovered the world of on-line rpgs (mushes & muses), which allowed me to act to my heart’s content (heh) without being “seen.” I went a tad overboard, though … LOL So, no more acting for me, but I love to watch.
Dotty, you and Noor are in my thoughts and I’m sending good vibes that she’ll get better soon!
BBBobbio, be nice to the fosters, now. LOL At least you know they’ll be going somewhere else soon, right?
MBG, poor Cuervo!! Have you taken any new pics of him, btw?
Yay for no pet accidents at casa FCM & FCD, so WhiteRabbit is doing a good job taking care of the aminals.
rigs, that’s funny you have a fish bathroom. I have a monkey room. When we moved, Wife said I got one room to do what I pleased with, and then designated the smallest room in the house - the ground floor powder room. Currently, there about 19 monkeys, counting figurines, soap dispenser, the Curious George book, artwork, even one of those mesh bags they sell at the zoo that has a monkey face on it. Makes a perfect ‘extra TP roll’ holder. Sometimes the neighbors come over and …‘play games’ with the monkeys, putting them into poses.
Adult poses. Let’s just say George is no longer so curious. He’s frightened.
tarra, I’m always taking cat pictures here - I’ll get some Big Boy Cuervo pics up here soon.
Alrighty - Wife has just announced she’ll be home late. I’m hungry, hope she doesn’t mind her food being kept warm, I’m eating.
When Bro and SIL were living in their forst apartment, the bathrrom wallpaper was a “bookshelf” motif - all visitors were encouraged to give books titles (that is, write on the “spines”) I don’t remember any in specific, but some were very funny (and a lot funnier than “The Yellow River by I. Pei Daley”)
My office has “the hockey wall” with one of my jerseys and pictures of me with players, dropping the puck, riding the zamboni, etc. and a really good one of all of the guys dressed up in tuxes for Tip-a-Snake. The wall is just about out of room, though - a few more pictures and I’ll have to find another wall. In another room - the other walls in here are full of books. and stuffed animals. I have an unhealthy number of stuffed animals for a woman with no children.
Great OP, BioRosie! Also, I liked the message on your last edit…
Hope Noor is doing better, Dotty.
Sean, next available is August 6. I’ve updated my sig…
Sorry about the vitamins, LiLi. Is there some other formulation that they could give you?
HP5 comment: I think it’s interesting to see how many things were actually missing. I agree, the Howler should have been in. And you’re right, Tonks should have been much more important than she was. Of course, to be complete, they’d have to make a mini-series or something; it would be hours and hours. Oh, and I especially liked Luna.
Ya know, I read the entire MMP and apparently I’m tired, because I think I’m going to have to go back and re-read to remember what the heck I was going to comment on. There was more. Really there was.
For those who don’t remember, and those who weren’t around, The Asshole[sup]TM[/sup] was a guy I fell in love with when I was 19. We met doing a summer theatre show. The short version of the verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long story is I kept investing time and energy into a relationship that was never going to more than platonic, even tho every now and then, things did get a little physical. I wasted my 20s on him, and wasted my 30s bemoaning the fact I had wasted my 20s. Then, as he approached his 40th, he met some witch on line, they fell in love and got engaged before they’d ever met IRL, because they both panicked that they were single at that age. (that’s my spin on it and I’m sticking to it) In the process, he revealed himself to be bi-polar, and alienated all his remaining friends. None of us have heard from him in years.
LiLi, just out of curiosity I did a quick google for “liquid prenatal vitamins,” and they’re widely available, at least south of the border between you and me. You might want to ask your doctor about them because that certainly sounds like a good alternative for you, obviously.
I actually went and CuteOverloaded myself right after I wrote my last post, Ellen. That kitty in the bowl and the little foxes were just what I needed!
Is it bedtime yet? I am so sleepy it’s ridiculous. Something tells me tonight is going to be an early night for me. Occasionally my excessive workload manages to overcome my night owl tendencies enough to send me to bed early, but not often, fortunately.
Home at last. I’m still sore, tired, and lethargic, but not as bad as last week. It seems like a quiet MMP this week. Guess cause swampy is [del]guzzling[/del] brewing beer.
MamaTigs, glad it isn’t too bad with the Infernal Revenue Service. Herearesome pics of mine.
Evenin’ Y’all! I is home and all showered. I’m windin’ down from my first day on second shift. Wasn’t too bad. I was workin’ between two lines yankin’ beer cans off for quality checks (no, that does not mean drinkin’ it!) and unjammin’ one of the lines on a frequent basis. For a while the dang thing was jammin’ up every five minutes. Then one line went down cause the filler (where the beer goes into the cans) messed up. So for the last hour I stood around pickin’ my butt as BBBobbio so poetically puts it. Oh and where I was I had a direct line from two “blowers” (from whence the AC, such as it is, comes) so that was nice. What the AC does is not so much cool as it keeps it from bein’ so hot. So instead of 110-115 degrees Amurrkin, it’s more like 85. The surprising thing to me was how fast the time went. Hope it’s like that everyday!
rigs have we not told you grad school is designed to make you suffer? Now do you believe us?
BioTigs a CPA has been doin’ my taxes for several years now. He’s worth every penny. Not only does it save me the headache of doin’ taxes, he’s great at findin’ deductions and just does a great job.
I put a beef roast with some carrots and onions in the slow cooker a bit ago. Ima cook lunch (or as we call it down south dinner) tomorrow. Roast, carrots, smashed N.O.T. and field peas with snaps. Probably cornbread too. I figure it’ll be good for a couple days eatin’. Ol’ y’all know who is gonna come eat. Might even get in a little quick “appreciation”.
**Dotty **-- we’re all waiting for you to check about Noor.
**Rigs **-- sounds like you’re kind of down on life right now. {{{Rigs}}}
Anybody seen **Nava **lately? I’m used to being scooped for Global Reveille!
Another Special Teen anecdote – when a group of 14 YO girls knows to call a particular instructor’s gait and demeanor “His ‘I’m an Alpha Male’ Strut” (her/their words :eek: , and in a pitying/condescending tone, too… ), I think there may be hope for the Human Race after all…
rosie, very cool OP! Did you really want an answer to whether you really look evil/shifty/murderous? Jus’ checking.
**
swampy**, so are you going to be joining the night crew of the MMP? We need more [del]suckers[/del] volunteers. You must have posted around 12:30 am your time. Is y’all know who still awake? He must be pretty wonderful to accommodate your schedule like that.
Special1, you’re so sweet! Thanks. You’re pretty cool yourself.
Ah, the MMP. It has been too long since I have felt your monday-ey, monringey embrace. Ah, the days when I was awake before noon on monday mornings, I miss ye very little.
Even though it has been tuesday here for two hours and… 22 minutes I feel compelled to post this bit about my weekend.
This weekend I went to my family’s beach cottage (which has been in the family since it was built in the 1920’s* [no joke]). I didn’t get a lot of sleep on friday night, so I found myself taking a nap on the couch. Then I thought to myself, ‘I’m at the beach. What am I doing sleeping on the couch?’ So I put on my bathing suit, grabbed a towel and headed dwon to the water. Where I proceeded to lay down and take a nap.
I’d comment more to the other posters, but I had a bad day at work, and I’m much too not-sober to talk now. I’ll say something later teusday morning.
*must… resist… urge to make death ray… reference… AH, DAMMIT!
Welcome to the MMP, Regallag_The_Axe! You definitely need a nickname if you don’t already have one.
I just had a guffaw-aha moment. I kept reading the above sentence over and over and was just about to ask what a “monring” is. . . but then :smack: aha!. . . I got it.
It’s “morning” with drunken post typing, right? You fit right in here. . . you must have posted here before.
I’m curious why/how you don’t awaken before noon on Mondays, but I guess that can wait for another day. . .a more sober day, perhaps.
Oh and where I was I had a direct line from two “blowers” (from whence the AC, such as it is, comes) so that was nice. What the AC does is not so much cool as it keeps it from bein’ so hot. So instead of 110-115 degrees Amurrkin, it’s more like 85. The surprising thing to me was how fast the time went. Hope it’s like that everyday!
