Good morning! I guess…
On the drive in, satellite radio quit and my first thought was “Did someone shoot down the satellite?!??!” :eek: It came back a few minutes later, so I guess the answer is “Nope.”
How’s your day so far?
Happy Wednesday!
Up, caffeinated ,and sheveled. Off to work.
You can skip that step ,if all you’re doing is going to :eek:Wally-World:eek:.
Happy Hump Day!
Another chilly morning, it’s 54 degrees outside.
The windows are open, great sleeping weather, but cold when I get out from under the blanket.
I don’t know why Ripple does this, but everytime my son puts him out, he has to run in and bump me with his nose to let me know he’s back. Not so bad during the day, but not so nice at 4am when his nose is cold and I’m asleep.
At least he seems to be equally attached to both of us. Shar Pei are known for being one person dogs.
I’m glad you are having a great time WetOne.
I need to order groceries today, should have done it yesterday.
I hate grocery shopping, even though all I do is order online and go pick them up.
Other than that, SSDD.
Juliet Jr.'s last day of school for the year. I’m taking a half day, since there’s no after school program, school gets done early, and our summer nanny doesn’t start until tomorrow. But I’m going to be productive. I’m going to the DMV to get my license renewed, going to the dermatologist, getting groceries, and making mini Oreo cheesecakes for work tomorrow.
Wetone, sounds like you’re having a great time!
Who feeds him?
Sounds like you’re having a great time, wetone; remember to bring home pictures.
Nettie, have you ever considered that people are simply abnormal cats?
Sunny, you pit thread seems to have been a success; 10 pages and at least 3-4 new feuds. seriously, it was a good topic and one worth discussion. (For those who never browse the pit: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=856128)
swampy, I need to go get the newspaper, so I need to put something on, I guess.
67F here in North Ali-bama heading to 89F, so if I’m going to mow it’ll be early today. Got 8 hours of sleep and feel almost normal again.
Now to forage for food and drink.
Blurfage from irk. Looks like another loonnngggg day. I shall have to find something to do to make the time go by quicker.
I did the equivalent of 104 floors straight up on Sunday, mainly because it was 104 floors straight up!
Winnie the Pooh says, “Bother”…& he only wears a shirt. Just sayin’. :o
Cut my run a bit short last night because I was getting a blister. I was the third car from the bar; I was going back to my car to get my phone & money but just barely made it to the car before the heavens opened up, so I guess sore foot was a good thing. Found out the reason when I got home; I ran right thru the socks as they’re now good golf socks (a hole in one), which is why the foot wasn’t feeling too good - there was no sock between it & the shoe.
Did a load of lawn dairy this morning & finally got caught up as I folded two dozen shirts (& then found two brand new ones once I was done). :smack: Even put most of them away already. Go me.
Whoever notices that the bowl is empty.
However, I share whatever I’m eating with Ripple. Omelets, shrimp, steak, chicken.
My son gives him pizza crusts.
However, my son pays with him more often, and they play rough together. Sometimes my son is afraid he hurt the dog, but Ripple is tough and loves rough play.
I pet him more, and sit outside with him.
So I guess it evens out.
Spidey, stop climbing the outside of the high rises. Just 'cause you do whatever a spider can, doesn’t mean you should. 
That ain’t my fault, Mouse, I’ve done nothing but have good thoughts about this damn MMP ever since we started it!
As a representative of Ducks Unlimited to this one conservation organization I was once asked to attend a planning meeting to plan a planning meeting.
I quit at that point.
Mumper singing/songwriting does tend to bring out the arsonist in most people. 
Doc visit must have gone well; she’s sending me a bill. Long-standing joke with us is the day she asks for cash at the moment is the day I am supposed to worry.
I would have to track down and visit the fish farm owned by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull
Very busy morning. Baby Engineer is back from Tampa. Ten more minutes of lunch break, then back at it. Hope the afternoon goes as fast…
Afternoon all. Lawn did not get mowed as I decided to be lazy and ended up taking a nap instead. It’s 88F out right now, so I’ll think about mowage this evening (but tomorrow for sure!)
Nothing else; mostly posting so FCM doesn’t think she broke the MMP…
That’s awfully nice of you, Ratbutt.
Why do I suspect an ulterior motive? :dubious:
They kept chucking tiny boxes of tea in the pond, it was weird 
I’m waiting with interest to see how tomorrow goes. It’s a pretty huge complicated show and Prince Charles has announced he’s showing up, which probably makes stuff even more complicated. Must remember how it is you’re supposed to deal with royalty… Something to do with curtsying and not shouting republican slogans, if I remember right.
We supped upon shrimp 'n grits, broccoli, and sallit. 'Twas very nummy! Have I mentioned that OYKW had never had shrimpies 'n grits before the first time I made 'em for him. OK, I made 'em for me too, but it was his first time. He highly approved.
MetalMouse we should both accomplish mowage tomorrow. I’d start this evenin’ but it’s dang hawt out right now. Ima mow in the mawnin’.
Nuts remember to cover your mouth if you belch in front of Charlie boy and try to fart downwind of ol’ Chuckie and you should be good.
I don’t know where the motivation came from, but I whacked some tall grass, then mowed the ditch and drove ol’ Johhny D around the front yard. **FCD **mowed in the back earlier, so most of our yard looks respectable.
Supper will be baked ziti - it’ll be ready in about 10 minutes.
**Nut **- You offer the prince a high five accompanied by a hearty “What’s shakin’, Chuckster??” I’m pretty sure I read that in “Dealing with Royalty for Dummies”
Why isn’t it Firday??
How did the tea go wet one?
I finally figured out why my back and hips have been hurting this week. The weekend guy took it upon himself to have a [del]jacked up [/del] cobbled job of repairing my chair. He didn’t like the fact that one of the arms couldn’t be lowered, so when a similar chair came into maintenance with the cannister shot, he had them put the seat on the cannister of my chair. This seat had no lumbar support whatsoever, leaving me gimpy and in pain for two days. Today, I took a chair from an empty desk, told my boss why and didn’t limp when I walked the looooooong trip out through security. I figure that I might even be sleeping well by the end of the week.
The very nice people who help me by cleaning my house were here today. I threw open the door to 'Beamer’s room and asked them for help. After a few minutes of shocked horror (and time for the bats and whatnot to clear out), it got cleaned. We got 4 trash bags full out of there and an entire shelf worth of dishes. They dusted, and washed his laundry, and changed his sheets, and holy cow I can see the floor! :eek:
Next stop my daughter’s room.
