You can be arrested for that in Mississippi.
OK, flytrap, that elicited a giggle from me! 
Back form my appointment with Dave. A check will be coming to me and I’ll take it to him so he can do whatever it is he does to invest it for me. Honestly, there are few things that interest me less than understanding how “the market” works. I tell him how much risk I’m willing to take, he explains options in small words, and we go from there. His advice on our annuities was really good, so I trust his advice for this smaller fund. If all goes well, it’ll pay for Roxy’s college, plus some.
Now, I think I shall knit for a while.
Moon Unit I just realized that your dog is “Kiko” and my dog is “Akiko”, but I almost always call her Kiko. Long distance dog twins!
Evenin’ all.
Just got back, having survived the ludicrous amount of rain we’ve had in the last week- we nearly got stuck in the place I was staying, the roads were flooded in both directions, but luckily not impassable for long. T’was a pleasant weekend, even if someone else in the room did snore pretty loud, so I am looking forward to my own bed tonight, and not being woken up by the owls going to bed or the early birds getting up.
I do need to defilthify the place and get on with skool stuff though tomorrow; something kinda needs handing in on Moanday, it’s not an official deadline (we have to run an event, this was our agreed-amongst-ourselves deadline) so someone please remind me; I’m basically finished, but I want to check through and tweak it a bit.
At the clinic getting vampired. Jerks.
Rainy, dreary here as well.
Ate BBQ at BBQ Jakes. Good sammich and slaw.
Supper will be what ever.
Happy hump day, y’all!
We had a little playtime outside - that kid loves her swing. We walked to the mailbox, but no delivery yet. When we came back in the yard, she wanted to “drive” the truck and I had to get in with her… and buckle our seatbelts… and honk the horn… That kid cracks me up!
I think supper will be ham, deviled eggs, some sort of veggie matter, and I don’t know what else. It’s just the 3 of us, which makes it easy. Daughter doesn’t get home from class till after 7. The eggs are boiled and cooling down. I’ll peel them in a little bit and put them in the fridge to chill some more. Then I’ll devil 'em. At least that’s the plan.
Deviled eggs were a tad too salty. Didn’t stop me from eating a few, tho.
Daughter should be home within an hour - Roxy is a hoot but she wears me out!
Howdy Y’all! Shrimpies ‘n grits and bacon wrapped spare guts made for a good sup! ‘Tis beginnin’ to rain, so yay for bein’ inside, dry, and full!
It’s been a day!
Irk ‘updated’ the website we use to log in and set our schedules and check our stats and all that good stuff.
I realize that one needs to get used to new things, but the new website, to put it mildly, SUX!
It’s way more complicated than it needs to be., and data that used to be on one page is now spread out on different pages, pita to have to keep resetting the options.
I put in one complaint and I am not a complainer. If nothing else, I hope they fix that page.
At least they got last weeks pay fixed, I was being shorted by a considerable amount.
I also found out I was missing a rather important phone call, because I don’t answer numbers that I don’t recognize, and I delete my VM without listening to it most of the time. I keep getting calls from some jerk who has the wrong number and when I called him to tell him he has the wrong number, thinking I was being nice by telling him, he cussed me out. He still calls, and some other asshold keeps calling me about some kind of business venture that I supposedly called him for information. Mix that in with all the IRS scams, new windows scams, Microsoft scams, car warrenty scams, and lowering the interest rate on my credit card and/or mortgage scams… How was I to know an important call would be in the mix?
I pissed off a credit card scammer the other day. I told her the truth, that I am paying 0% interest on my cards and so anything lower than that would mean she is going to pay me money.
I told her I thought that was really cool, she cussed at me and hung up.
I think it is bullshit though that 90% of my calls are scammers and this isn’t the first time I missed an important call because I didn’t recognize the number. And I don’t believe for one minute that the phone companies can’t do anything to stop it.

oh cool
I’m so damn tired and frazzled I am repeating myself
Easy day today. I had an email a couple weeks ago from an old customer that wanted $120.00 worth of soap ‘whenever I could get to it’. Well I did half of it before we left for Central Orygun, and I mixed up the other half today and it is busy ‘curing’ in the back room now. In a couple of days I’ll cut it into bars and set it to cure some more until it’s ready for him.
Other than that I’ve been to the grocery store and pretty soon I’m going to get my ‘mess-in-place’ on for tonight’s dinner, chalupas. (Not that stuff that that restaurant chain sells), this recipe is from a cookbook that is over 50 years old and supposedly was stolen from a restaurant in Mexico City called Palace of Tiles or some such thing.
Wifey mixed some warm water into the pups dry chow this morning and made a sort of gravy, which they inhaled. Well, now Gibbs is telling me, quite insistently, that it must be dinner time. (It’s not).
I’ll feed them pretty soon though, before my pants legs get shredded.
Hellish day to start. Had to wait for hubs delivery truck to arrive making me about 15 mins later than I normally leave the house. He was going with me to bring the Toyota
home. About 12 miles down the road standstill. Pulled up the Sheriff’s FB page and there was a headon collision 8 mikes ahead. Our 30 mile trip took almost two hours. Had we not had to wait on that truck we could have been smashed. Everything could always be worse.
Tahred. Done, complete and finished with this Tuesday on a Wednesday. Back to Miami on Firday so only one more day of irk. Got three more new vendors scheduled to come by in the next week or so. Busy day.
So tomorrow we will either have nothing or :eek:SNOWPOCALYPSE:eek: Dinner tonight is smoked bourbon chicken with rice and green beans with country ham and garlic.
FCM, I’ll…dispose of any Deviled Aigs you don’t want.
Technology hates me. The feeling is mutual. I use bluetooth earphones a lot, especially at the gym. When I was about to leave the house, I discovered that my phone is at 25%, even though I plugged it in. Oops! Must have accidentally pulled the plug almost out of the socket. So I charge it. Then I discover my bluetooth headphones aren’t working. I plugged them in, too. Turns out my electric frying pan tripped the circuit breaker the other day. So I recharge them.
They still don’t work. I spend an hour watching YouTube videos on getting bluetooth to work. I’m razzing the videos: “I don’t HAVE a bluetooth preferences option!” “Why the heck would I want to go into Apps? Fine. Whatever. Idiots.” Then suddenly after almost 3 hours, the headphones work. Yay! My joints are yelling at me. Suck it up, wimps! Skip off to the gym. Better late than never! Holy frick, the place is PACKED, as in all treadmills in use and the alcove where people use mats literally has no more room. Some high school girl is doing backbends on her mat. Show-off. I did get my workout done. And I didn’t cry. Win!
Moooom, everyone loves deviled eggs. I read a James Beard book in which he talked about cocktail party food and said deviled eggs are da bomb, or words to that effect. Can’t argue with James Beard.
Swampy, were you talkin’ 'bout ribs? How do you bacon-wrap ribs? Loooooong bacon?
Bumbazine (Sorry. I can’t recall your nickname.), my dogs used to lurve warm water mixed into their kibble. I don’t know what it is. Actually, I have a theory, but it’s too bloody for the MMP, if you catch my drift.
Sari, I hear ya and feel your pain. I’ve been waiting for a call back from someone in Seattle. All the spammer calls seem to come from there, according to my phone app. So I pick up, and it’s yet another “Marriott Rewards” message. I always hang up without saying a word…out loud, anyway. 
But now that I’ve picked up a number of times, they’ve smelled blood, and I’m getting more spammers. 
It’s gonna be a long day. Roxy started crying around 3AM and I never really got back to sleep. We have to leave by 9 to get to Timonium by 11 when we’re meeting my mom and sister for lunch. Then surgeon appt at 1:15. That should bring us home during rush hour since Dr Bob tends to run late.
Still more fun than a sharp stick in the eye.
Happy Thursday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 55 Amurrkin out and cloudy and that will also be the day’s high temp. Rain is also comin’ in and will be with us all day. We have no where we need to go, so we shall remain in da cave today. Fine by me! Sup shall be beastloaf, steamed cabbage, mac & cheese, and cornbread. Comfort food southern style!
Nellie spare guts = asparagus. Thus, bacon wrapped spare guts. We talk weird.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day. Rah.
Happy Thursday Y’all!

Summary - I’m up and breakfasting. Soon to shower. It’s dreary out. Long drive ahead. Hoping FCD’s back can be fixed.
End of summary. Carry on.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s a cloudy 30 feels like 27 degrees outside.
No park again today and the dogs are already being bratty.
I want to go back to bed.
