They’re just protesting the violence inherent in the system! 
giggity, wtf? Didn’t we do all this about twelve years ago? Am I having flashbacks? Is it 2001 again? Oh shit, I’m late for my student teaching! I’m all the way across the state, I’ll never get there in time!
OWWW!!!
I’ve never felt this bad after an MRI. Just hope it’s worthy.
Me in a bikini would be indecent in the extreme.
ricin ? letter
Apparently someone hates tugig so they sent a poison letter to a Senator from Mississippi, to keep our fellow Mumper at work.

Howdy folks! I don’t have any pets or critters so don’t have any pics to share but boy am I enjoying looking at everyone else’s pets! Thanks so much for sharing your pics too, you all have a very handsome bunch of critters!! I couldn’t see someone’s pics, though, they were on facebook and either I didn’t have permission or they were unavailable. 
Oh yes and Sahdog is much more cuter than I had imagined, also much larger than I had thought! LOL
Sorry that your week has been so long and awful already, 2gig, I just heard about the ricin letter too. Rosie’s .sig to any and all, including Rosie herself; I am sending good vibes for you to find the right apartment! Hugs all around!!
Well, I asked and nobody said ‘no blog links’ fast enough, so here they are.
Dinner was waiting when I got home, except for the list of things they gave me to pick up on the way in. Taco night. Taco buffet night, really. We switch around what’s available for piling in, and everyone gets to suit themselves.
Good morning everyone. Today marks the half way point on my 4 weeks worth of work. In 2 weeks time I’ll be heading back to Houston.
I have scheduled an appointment with a counselor, to help me sort out some of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts with regards to the break up that I am going through (or went through I suppose). I’m looking forward to that. I’m not depressed, or suffering from anxiety, but I am rather sad and… concerned about where to go from here and such. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford it.
There’s really no work to do tonight so I’m just relaxing. Yesterday was a non-stop 12 hour work shift so it’s kind of nice. My coworker, who works the opposite 12 hour shift of me, had a super productive day and got everything done, so now I get to reap the rewards. Yay! 
Also, when are we supposed to type ‘blurf’? Is blurf something we say when we are feeling kind of “meh” or unhappy or what?
Blurfage!
Thanks Freebie. I will spend a little time today and post some pics.
I took the day off irk just because and damn if I didn’t wake up with a sore throat :smack:
I also have an appointment with the hairdresser to color my hair in order to cover the gray.
Morning all! It’s grey and overcast today, very windy and not particularly warm. Not a great day to be in the corner office on the 5th floor 'cos I can hear the wind howling round the edge of the building.
Nothing exciting going on here today, but at least it’s midweek and that means pub night with my friends tonight.
Cap’n - got room for a little 'un? Your plan sounds lovely but very hard work…although I do like the idea of the end product. I’d have to bring the cats though, Shadow would love it if there was stuff to catch. He brought me a birdybody this morning, feathers all over the living room floor so that was my first job of the day.
Nuts, appendages crossed for the car. Mine goes for a service and MoT in a couple of months and this one will be the last on my prepaid service plan. Plus I already know it needs one new tyre so that will add to the cost. I don’t drive it much (had it 10yrs and not made 40K miles yet) but I’m loathe to get rid of it too.
At least that keeps 'em occupied. Otherwise you end up with a serf, bored.
That’s what happens when you have moistened bints lobbing scimitars at people.
Blurf.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85. It’s also already hyoooooooooomid out.
drew “blurf” is the sound one makes upon arisin’ in the mornin’ and dreadin’ the facin’ of the day. Although one can blurf in the afternoon if the irkday is bein’ particularly irksome. Mayhaps BBBobbio can explain it better bein’ as he is a major blurfer.
Hope you’re feelin’ better gotti.
TPTB should leave at some point today. YAY!!! Maybe the serfs will be a bit more obedient and remember their place today.
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
I have a bit of a sore throat myself, plus low energy. Bleah.
Good morning, Mumpers, all! Today will be a major yard day, because I’ll be gone the next 2 days and I can’t leave the ground cover that I bought in the containers till the weekend. I’ll start out by setting the hose to water what I planted/transplanted last time, then lay out and plant the ground covers and soak them well, and while they’re being watered, I’ll mow the front lawn and haul the debris from last weekend to the back of the yard. And if I have any energy left, I’ll rake a while. I’ve also got to empty the truck bed so I’ll have lots of space to bring stuff back from Mom. And I need to load the empty flower pots to hold some of what I’ll be bringing back.
Tonight is a HOG social at a Chinese restaurant in LaPlata. We’ve eaten there before - it’s pretty good. They have since added a sushi bar, and according to the writeups on line, the sushi sucks, so I’ll probably stick to what I know and like. Regardless, I don’t have to cook tonight, so yay!
**tugig **- sorry you got stuck with the ricin story. Altho I can’t imagine how much you, or anyone else, can report on it. What I heard was this guy got an envelope and they’re testing it. OK, till the testing is done, there’s nothing to report, right? I mean except for lots of speculation to get everyone worked up in a frenzy. I don’t suppose you get dispatched to spontaneous nekkid rasslin’ tournaments on the White House lawn… :eek:
Happy Wednesday anyway!
I had a weird, slightly disturbing dream last night featuring a shaman I know. Now I’m debating whether to email him. I never dream about this guy, and the disturbingness of the dream (almost-nightmare–it woke me up cursing at the universe for making me think of *that *again.) makes me think it might be significant enough to talk to him about. Or at least thank him for being there to keep me from getting completely squicked out.
*It was about my mom dying. WTF, brain?
But Mooooom, there’s speculation! Everyone has an opinion* and they all have to talk about it! They have 24 hours to fill, they don’t have time to hunt down real news when there’s so much speculatin’ to be done!
*along with certain other body parts
I’m going to be a Home Ec* teacher today. It sounds fun. I hope it is.
*Ok, so it’s Family and Consumer Sciences, blah blah blah
Blurf.
Hugs not necessary, but if you’re gonna grope, I’m game. 
A scan of my FB this morning revealed my 6th grade teacher has died. For about 2 weeks, he had been battling pneumonia. Ol’ Max had the reputation for being the meanest teacher in my elementary school, which wasn’t really fair to him. He was much like the toilet paper at the office: didn’t take shit from anyone. He also was the school’s designated paddler.
I haven’t had any contact with him in close to 40 years, but I am friends with one of his daughters, and my sister briefly dated on of his sons in high school.
Max, you were one of a kind. You’re probably already paddling wayward angels for throwing spitballs.
Hmm I don’t know about this blurfing. I don’t think I ever quite feel like a blurf. Maybe a rawr though. Rawr! Day is half over now… still no work to do!
Blurf, rawr, whatever floats your boat. We’re pretty easygoing around here. 
And in other news today: blurf :dubious:
