Don’t know if it’s a pic of _our_, (for some values of ‘our’), **Spidey** or not. Don’t think I wanna know. The number of selfles I have taken can be counted on one hand; the number of nekkid selfies (which is the same as the number of nekkid pictures that I have _knowingly_ allowed to be taken of me) can be counted on **no** hands.

The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they’re gone. He then orders three more and the bartender says, “Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I’ll bring you a fresh one as soon as you’re low.” The man says, “You don’t understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we’re drinking together.” The bartender thinks it’s a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy’s three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more. The bartender says sadly, “Knowing your tradition, I’d just like to just say that I’m sorry you’ve lost a brother.” The man replies, “Oh, my brothers are fine – I just quit drinking for Lent.” \* :D[/spoiler] It was windy last night; so windy part of my gutter is now able to collect rain on my porch. ☹ ---

Well. Went to bed before 10PM local time, feeling a little tired; and slept until after 9am, which is my longest sleep in a long time. Guess I owed my body some rest hours and it collected all at once. Good thing I put the garbage out last night or I would have missed the truck this morning. Food, Drink, and bathing are next up. ---

**BLURF** I got enough of the accounts payable crap done to keep the lady busy until I can get the rest done. I am brain dead today as I had very little sleep last night. I may try to get out of here early today and go home and hopefully get to bed early. ---

**Ruble** congrats on the job change! Does this mean that you have more stability? **Doggio** congrats on the trivia win. Now you’ve been on tv. You’re famous! **Bowser** did your friends arrival go smoothly? It sounds like you had a big day, what with that and painting. **Butters** I hope you’re almost done with the “first of the monthses”. Sounds irritating and exhausting. **Spidey** didya get a suit? I need to begin my semi-monthly wrangle with the LTD folks where I send them the doctor records to prove I am still seeing doctors and still disabled. It’s _loads_ of fun. I also need to prep for another meeting with my SSDI attorney on Monday. We’re working on my application. Still feeling blah, so we’ll see if I get much done today. Need spoons. Other than that, we’ve got grey skies. Back to rain tomorrow. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > **Bowser** did your friends arrival go smoothly? It sounds like you had a big day, what with that and painting. Yes, their arrival went smoothly. We got to see them for about 45 minutes before they were bundled into a taxi and taken to the home they’re renting. It was a nice day, except I lost my treasured Baltimore Ravens baseball cap. I think it fell out of my lap when we transferred trains on the way home. ☹ ---

It was windy enough, and from the right direction to vent the house, so I fried up a pound and a half of bacon. With the wind direction, the fetch over the river is about a mile and a half–resulting in over three foot whitecaps rolling by. A good day to own a very strong windmill. ---

> [@Shinna\_Minna\_Ma](#): > > It was a nice day, except I lost my treasured Baltimore Ravens baseball cap. I think it fell out of my lap when we transferred trains on the way home. ☹ I grew up in Baltimore - well, the suburbs. I might be able to get a cap to you if you’d like - assuming one can still buy football stuff as baseball season starts… I get to Baltimore on occasion when I go see my mom or my sibs - I’m a couple of hours south of the city. Home, still stuffded from lunch, and exhausted. Very busy day at work, with another tomorrow. But good busy, for the most part. \*\*FCD \*\*wants french toast and a brat for supper, which is fine, since I don’t want to eat. I may have an orange later. Maybe. ---

Happy Thorsday! or what’s left of it. It’s cold, cloudy, and windy outside. I didn’t need to go outside today, so I am warm and comfy inside. It’s been another busy day today. I finally called the cable company and by switching to direct tv I will save at most $6/month. Probably not anything really because I’m sure the price quoted to me by ATT doesn’t include taxes. I’m a little leery of switching my phone to satellite phone service, although I’ve heard that service has been improved. I think that is the service where there is a delay when you talk? Or is that VIOP? If I keep my phone with the cable company it will cost me more money each month. I think I will keep what I have, but I still have a few days to decide. Read much, retained little, I’m trying to keep up but it’s been busy around here. ---

Conga-rats on the lateral move, **ruble**! **Moooom** , my granny used to fry brains…with aigs. 😛 I’m wrapping up a small watercolor this evening. It’s something simple to see if I wanted to get back into it. As I enjoyed it, I picked up some better colors yesterday. 🙂 C’mon weekend! ---

I got home at 5, drooped of HRH and went to the grocery. I cooked chicken and rice and the beet greens my wonderful neighbors gave us. I shall cook up the roots this weekend. Beet greens are good BTW. There was a smidge of greens left and plenty of chicken and rice so lunch is covered. I have to irk on Sat for a few hours to take this stupid booze class that is mandatory. I am well versed in how to drink already :D. Exhausted and after this post I shall try to sleep since I had at most 4 1/2 hours last night. Sometimes I can’t turn my brain off. I envision a sleep marathon on Sat after booze class. Rosies sig Today marks 3 months since we lost our beloved **Rosie** ---

**butters** , beet greens are good mixed with mustard greens. The earthiness and pepperiness work together. I got an email that the chiweenie that I applied to adopt had already been placed. ☹ But, they are still sending pooch profiles to me. 🙂 ---
