[QUOTE=taxi78cab;14351245 In any case, I think **swampy** had better not come to our house for dinner since I’d probably serve brussels sprouts and pumpkin and he’d be a good gentleman and eat it but be miserable. 😃 [/QUOTE] Nah. I’d just ask for extra napkins so’s I could hide 'em. 😛 Home from irk and all supped. Et early cause I’m headed over to the church house in a bit for Evening Prayer. Laterz! ---

I’m sorry to hear about your horse, **ems**. Animals can be like family and it’s sad when they pass on. I’m very sorry for your loss. Hey **swampy** if you skip the webinar or want more detail on the 2012 changes, I’ve got both the PDP & MA enrollment/disenrollment guidance on pdf I can send you from irk. “Light” reading it ain’t (and lord help you if you ever really need to reference it), but it’s a sure-fire cure for insomnia. I should know. I spent 40 minutes today looking for the regs on processing payment changes due to TRCs 144 & 195. As they say, **rosie** if the shoe fits, wear it! And I hope yours fits with plenty of room to spare! Congrats on the new tumor, **Bobbio**! I hope VunderVife is well and I’m plumb out of ideas on what you should name the new addition to your family. This reminds me of something I came up with in school. The assignment was to re-write parts of the newspaper and I was picked to do the TV listings. There was a popular show about a dog called “Here’s Boomer” at the time. In my version, the dog got loose near Three Mile Island and the show was called “Here’s Tumor”. Thanks. I’ll be here all week and remember to try the chicken a-la king and tip the waitstaff. Yesterday was a bright, warm sunny day for the President’s visit but today is cool and rainy. It’s almost like the weather changed because it knew it no longer had to be on its best behavior since no one important was watching. That’s all I got. Remember, we’re a day closer to the weekend!

Thank you. And, by the way,\*\*THANK YOU!!!\*\*I’ll post a pic when I get home. Okay, the shoe fit . . . for the first 20 minutes, but by the time I got to my doc’s office, the toe was throbbing. More when I get home. ---

_Hugs_ to all having rotten stuff happening. If anyone wants me to come round and shout at life, I’m free all week. This thread just made me go out and buy brussels sprouts. And in the interests of not being thrown out the MMP, I give you [kittypics](http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd384/triskaidekia/Big%20kitteh/) 😃 - password is my username.

My interview today seemed to go fairly well. Who knew that they’d be impressed that I know how to use my least favorite software at work? Maybe experience with virtual conferencing programs is uncommon. I’m cautiously optimistic and should know before Halloween if I’m their girl. _And_ I found out just minutes before the interview that another job I applied for wanted to schedule an interview too, this one next Friday 🙂 I kind of feel…popular all of the sudden. **Ems** , I’m sorry about your horse ☹ My best friend’s sister had to put hers down a week and a half ago, and she was a mess as well when we saw her [at the fair](http://threateningloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/10/fair-day.html) that day. ---

Cool kitteh **Nut**! I just want to [del]be his dinner[/del] pet him! **Brick** thanks for the offer but I have all the Medicare stuff I could ever want to have or need. Sattidy mornin’ we are doin’ a “Big Event” to kickoff open enrollment. For four hours I get to sit around and assist people in enrollin’/switchin’ Part D Plans. If I am extra lucky I get to do stuff with Part C and/or Medigap plans. Envy me. And on that note I think it’s beddy bye time. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

I woke up at 3:30 AM, 45 minutes early. Not early enough to go back to bed, so I started sipping java from the big mug. Today is my last day in the office for a week as I irk from home tomorrow and have three days off next week. Wow **rosie** that pic should be in _Vogue_! The necklace looks like a million bucks and **shortdrum** you’re very talented! I bet you could spin off that jewelery making to a nice side-business or even make it a career! Yes your stuff is that cool! Hey **swampy** , MA/MA-PD is a good chunk of what I work with, so I’ll look for you at the meetings! That’s all I got. Happy Thursday all! Bri2k ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 84 and scattered tstorms. This means we could have a deluge or not. Today I get to hang with the old folk in da Burg for a while and then go give a talk to a senior group at the First Baptist Church in beautiful downtown Camilla, Jawja. Baptists! Since I don’t have to enter the church proper, just their hall, maybe I’ll be ok. 😃 **Elf** yay for the job interviews! Shall we keep appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed for ya? **Brick** if I can avoid it, I stay away from conferences. Thankfully, in this age of webinars (I hate that word!) avoidance is easier than ever. Enjoy the time off! Speakin’ of which, I get tomorrow afternoon off. Of course that’s in exchange for irkin’ the Sattidy event. Rah. Purty necklace **Rosie**! Ya done good **shortdrum**! Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, irk purtification must commence, alas. Happy Thursday Y’all! Happy Thursday Y’all!
