Home after a very busy day. We’re going to Capt. Leonard’s for supper - we haven’t been there in a year a least. So that’ll be nice. I hope. I woke before 4 this morning, so I’s tahred, and the busy day just added to my fatigue. I expect I’ll crash early. And tomorrow, I’ve got a Dr Appt, so there’s that to look forward to. C’mon Firday!! ---

Tradition\* dictates I eat Chinese food for dinner, but I’m just not feeling it. \*I recall, every year, leaving temple after the final Yom Kippur service and joining the line-around-the-block to pick up dinner from Tea Village ---

Leftover pot pie has been ingested. I yanked some ground beast outta da freezer that will become beastloaf tomorrow. **Fonz** you post once and you are a Mumper. That is our only hard and fast rule. Glad youi’re back. **flytrap** I thought it was an Arkansaw state law that every home must have a picture of dawgs playin’ poker on prominent display. ---

So I went to the dentist and to the medical supply house. I have a scooter but they didn’t have the crutch pads I needed. And my friend’s battery died while she waited for me at the dentist, so she had to call her husband to give her a jump. So it was quite an adventure. I was completely beat when I got home, so I ate something (I know, I know. Bad Jew!) and took a nap with Target. Since I was so tired, I decided that anything I had to do for the rest of the week can be postponed until next week. Not sure what’s for dinner. I know what I want, but whether I have it or not is a different story entirely. ---

Another irritation to my day. My phone went weird on me. Died with a full battery, I turned it on and the battery went up really fast to 100%. Phone dies again, comes on again, dies again, repeat a few more times. Finally I took it out of the case, took the back off and I find a swollen and misshapen battery. I have no time to run to the ATT store and I need my phone, Fortunately, it took some searching but I found the old battery, which won’t hold a charge but I can use the phone as long as it’s plugged in. Welcome back **Fonz** ---

**Fonz** , you know what us not realizing that you were on break means, don’t you? You need to post more. 😛 **rockin’** , I don’t know about Judaism, but Catholics are instructed to not fast on fast days if it would harm them medically. If you were shaky, IMO, that would qualify. ---

If you were shaky, IMO, that would qualify. It’s the same in Judaism. You do what you can to fast, but you don’t do anything that would put your health at risk. Since I’m recovering from surgery, I wasn’t expected to fast. ---

I am less achy now. I get strange dreams with TY. Apparently in my dream it was my birthday and we were at a friend’s place which was hyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge (IRL this friend lives in a two bedroom condo) and a big surprise had been planned for me. A drag queen handed me a DQ ice cream cake and started to sing “Santa Baby” when all of a sudden we were all outside bein’ chased by a pack of dachunds that had taken over the town and roundin’ up all the humans. Then I woke up. Moral of the dream: Do not let a drag queen sing “Santa Baby” where there’s a pack of dachunds around. The dachunds don’t like that. 😃 So **Hockey Monkey** ’s mob was chasing you?😃 > [@Reluctant\_A](#): > > I’d question whether I post to the MMP often enough to warrant a name, but I believe that I was christened “Fonz.” If you post, you warrent a name.
