**swampy ** - I graduated from the real Purdue campus too - well, I never exactly attended graduation, but I do have a diploma - so are you proud of me?? 
And I don’t know if making ice cream is a southern thing, but it definitely wasn’t a thing in my family or among my acquaintances. I had homemade ice cream once - I think when I was in Memphis?? But the actual making will be a first for me.
I think it is southern–we used to handcrank our own ice cream when I was a little girl, but we never did so once we moved up to IL.
I am home from work. The first day of Sophomore year was a good one for #1 son. Haven’t heard from daughter yet. #2 son starts 4th grade tomorrow.
Work was great per usual, but I have to do it again AND again–this 0430 thing is gonna get old. And it was raining again this morning. Now it’s sunny and hot/humid as India during the monsoons. I HATE this weather. If I wanted to experience south Texas weather, I’d live there. No nap today-- I couldn’t fall asleep. My legs hurt too badly. Sometimes they ache right before my period. Aren’t you glad you know that about me now?
Kudos, gasps, hugs, head shakes etc to all as appropriate.
What I can’t understand is why Purdue has a drink as its school name. That’s just weird!
Ok, couple things I forgot. Taters I got the email. Hee! Funnneee! I’ll be doin’ my best to spread it around on this side of the country.
Also, since mowin’ was mentioned earlier, I mowed after I got home from work today. I figured I couldn’t possibly smell any worse than I already did so I mowed my yard. I’m glad cause we’re supposed to get rained on tomorrow and probably Friday. Actually it was thunderatin’ in the distance a little earlier but I don’t think it means anything.
Ok, off to lie upon le bed and watch me some teevee in preparation for sleepy bye time. I’m all alone tonight. SOB Ol’ y’all know who has some work stuff to get done, poor thing.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Awwww…you’re flying back into town for my birthday! That’s so sweet of you! 
Ain’t much else to do there… 
Once upon a time when I was a student at Purdue, I went for a walk - from the north end of the city to the south. I think it was 6 miles. Surrounded by corn. Nope, not a lot to do there.
I’m all showered and clean, and in about 30 minutes, I’ll don my work togs and head out the door. Oh yeah. Fun. woo. hoo. yay.
I can has ice cream??? 
I had sketti with shrimp and tomatoes. I have had the donwanna today, too. Oh well, after this weekend, I deserved it.
Maggie is sporting some new threads today.
It’s OK, rigs, we’re used to TMI here.
swampy, the answer to whether or not to keep Schlitz and malt liquor is “NO!!!111one!” 
Sean, I fell asleep at work once, but it was after 15 straight 15 hour days.
scout, I hope your dream has no bearing on reality.
Or maybe she wanted to see if she could get personally reimbursed for them. :eek:
Nah, that would seem to take a little more competence than is shown there.
How come you’re the only one that doesn’t have a nick here? I like Jahdra, but I might have to work on that.
Good thing you warned him. His eyes could have been rolling around on the ground and where would he be then?
Are you applying the I know it when I see it standard of the US Supreme Court? Has Lunch turned into pron?
Gah! There’s an insult in there somewhere. I just can’t pinpoint it.
Despite the fact that you speak Hebrew, English and geek, I do think I understood you the first time, since I can’t find any new information here. I guess my question was. . .why didn’t they think that it would affect something in your system if they changed the settings? And now that you changed the settings back, does it affect their other systems?
I think ems wants some Lunch. Are there quantity discounts on the Lunch meal deal or are you charging by the minute now?
Done. Anything else? And no, I am NOT throwing up for you. Don’t even try to send any of that over this way.
**
taxi**, hey wait! You quoted me and I was just repeating them. I didn’t have the dontwannas today, so I couldn’t have given it to you. I’m innocent I tells ya. I took a nap instead.
Hey Haze, nice to see you checking in. Stay safe and have fun!
You are GOOD!! If I ever go on a diet, I’ll have to consult you again. And yes, that makes up for the song. What was it again?
oh thank you thank you thank you for justifying such goodies -
TMI? Here? Never.
It’s so nice to see you happy about work, rigs!
My work has been challenging again lately. Not quite as stressful as it was earlier in the year, but still rather annoying. I am so looking forward to being on vacation!!!
Cute pictures, doggio. Will Maggie be attending the next family reunion?
Tired.
Maybe I’ll read for a while. I have to get up early to relay instructions to one of my employees. How fun.

I finished skimming -
wow - youse guys are sure chatty today
Hugs, pats on backs, slaps upside heads, congratulatory handshakes, etc etc etc as warranted
I have nothing significant to add, so I’ll add something mundane
My Very Own Annoying CowOrker[sup]TM[/sup] has applied for a position elsewhere in the company, away from me, so yay!. HOWEVER, she has already been replaced by an Even More Annoying CowOrker[sup]TM[/sup]. Fortunately, he starts his shift at 5pm so I only have to deal with him for half an hour. <sigh>
That is all.
Ooooooh, I never reported: my annoying cow-orker is a) no longer in my department, and b) no longer on our floor. There were tears.
Still have to work with him some, but the negative energy has been removed from our floor.

They call them ‘preview night’ here - it’s the night before school starts when each school opens up so the moms & dad can sign up for PTO, kids meet their teachers, etc. We have 12 elementary schools in the district, and they spread the nights out over this whole week.
So, every night this week, except Friday I’m sitting at a table surrounded by squealing kids, parents and explaining Bus Stuff to people - giving them their bus stops if they don’t already know - stuff like that.
Tonight was ok - only an hour long.
And now…beer.
Though that homemade ice cream sounds good.
::Sends ice cream through CD drive.::
It was:
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small, small world
Happy to be of service to a fellow doper. 
**anyrose **if you cut your french fries chunkier they are even more healthy. Oh and if you add ketchup that’s tomatoes which is a fruit and if you have em with salt and vinegar then that’s good too cos vinegar comes from grapes which is a fruit. Not too much salt though cos that’s unhealthy.
Actually can we not call them french fries and call em chips like Og intended?
actually, 'round these parts, for the last several years, they’ve been called Freedom Fries
Vinegar comes from grapes? :eek:
<just realizes she never knew where vinegar came from> <realizes this needs to be in the epiphany thread>
And you just killed it again–yes, setting UK/USA relations back by several centuries by posting That Song again. May Benny Hill ride your car (or whatever that Tube thingy is called) incessantly for years. Only then will the scales be balanced once more.
Chips!!!
Or no more nutritional dispensation!
Its Heffalump and Roo’s fault! I was only answering a question!!!
Its called a car. We are very yankee’d up on the Tube. But I hope Benny Hill doesn’t ride on my train or at least not on the front car. Its bad enough with the zombies and the bats down there without corpses hanging around too.
Who’s Benny Hill? Do I want to know?
I would really appreciate it if someone else would handle the puking for me. Although I haven’t puked since last Thursday. I think.
The kidlet is starting to be more enthusiastic about moving. He really is a ninja.
