Hiya, gang! I think I’ve caught up on everyone. I have nothing new to report. Lots of long phone calls from people I care about. They seem to come in waves. My kids should be calling any minute. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Pray I make it through my shift without backhanding that damn bully, cuz then _I’d_ be the asshole who loses their job! “Oops! Dropped the slicer! Uh-oh, was that your pepperoni?” > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > [These](https://nordhavn.com/brokerage/listings/) are what he has in mind - the ones over 60’ long. Looks about right. Now you can invite all us Mumpers for a little cruise…or a three-hour tour. Also, I know your daughter is disappointed, but surely she’s grateful she got all that free childcare–from an excellent caregiver who even made dinner when needed. > [@Misnomer](#): > > OMG you made a pizza for [Téa Leoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A9a_Leoni)!!! 😮 Very clever! **GodBod** , that’s so nice! **Taters** , did you get a new toaster? **BooFae** , hope the back improves. **Seanette** , so sorry about those scurvy scammers. There seems to be a lot of that going around these days. Hoping you get a legit offer for a great job soon! > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > We know how to be good groupies, Why do I keep reading that as “gropies”? **Sari** , please go to the doc if you continue to feel unwell. I know it’s an aggravation, but we need you to be healthy. > [@Sahirrnee](#): > > The widow of one of my great uncles is still alive, I think she is going to be 98 or 99 this year. She is my cousin too. > Aunt because she married my grandmother’s brother, cousin because she is my grandfather’s first cousin. Wow, your family tree must have some pretty tangled branches. My sister knew of a family where a woman married a guy, had kids, got divorced, married his father, had more kids, got widowed, married the first guy’s brother, and had one more kid. Figuring out the relationships within that family has helped while away many a dull hour. > [@Sahirrnee](#): > > Ripple has gotten cuddly, which is different. > It used to be if I pet him when he was sleeping on the bed, I’d get a dirty look and he’d go sleep on the floor. Now he inches closer and wants me to pet him until he falls asleep. Aww. This warms my heart. I’m so glad you’ll be getting new furry critters, **doggio**! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/administrivia-in-the-mmp/980434)._
